Fashion faux pas A young designer&rsquo;s recent social media post, echoes the thought that must have run through the minds of many fashion folk: &ldquo;I&rsquo;m confused !! India Bridal Week and India Couture Week are two separate events ???

Really into animation Like all kids her age, eight-year-old Mansi Tiwari also watches television for hours, much to the exasperation of her parents. However, they are unlikely to complain about it. At least for a while. After all, Tiwari, along with 14-year-old Aakash Pandey from Jabalpur, has become perhaps the first kids to have an animated avatar of theirs to appear in a regular series.

This summer the kids&rsquo; channel Nickelodeon ran a contest with its popular show Motu Patlu, asking its young viewers to answer questions based on each show. Sonali Bhattacharya, head of marketing for the channel says Tiwari and Pandey won a lucky draw.
&ldquo;They were at the animation studio today, where they had a shoot. Soon, their animated avatars will be created and woven into an episode,&rdquo; Bhattacharya added. As far as who found out about the contest? Tiwari&rsquo;s father says it was his daughter.
&ldquo;She must have seen it on TV and then would ensure that I was around so she&rsquo;d have Internet access to send the answers to the channel,&rdquo; he laughs. And when can you see the kid from Kalyan on TV? The channel says you should wait at least for a month.
