Nagesh Kukunoor in Italia

Nagesh Kukunoor nei giorni scorsi era in vacanza in Italia. Ecco i suoi tweet:
8 ottobre 2012 - 'Drinking the local Chianti. Its a truly wonderful red. Goes great with just about anything. Inspite of being touristy, Florence is every bit as beautiful as the tour books describe. Time to shoot a film here [magari!!]. For all you foodies out there, nothing as delicious as fresh bread, fresh pressed olive oil and rock salt. A Tuscan tradition. Awesome'.
9 ottobre - 'Spent 3 hours in the Uffizi Gallery. Really unnerving to be standing 2 feet from a Michelangelo... After a while I got tired of saying wow. Spent 2 hours people watching in the Palazzo Vecchio square. Took some inane pictures and was devoid of all thought. At peace'.
12 ottobre - 'After 2 amazing days wandering the streets of Rome, I veni vidi vici... Roman Holiday, one of those great romantic tales makes sense after visiting Rome. Will take my shot with my films with #cornettoindia'.
14 ottobre - 'Had to do the touristy thing and see the leaning tower of Pisa. Was cool to see it finally jump from fifth std textbook to reality. Arguably ate the best sandwich ever. Raw tuscan sausage, stracchino cheese, arugula leaves, truffle oil and schiacciata bread'.
15 ottobre - 'Finally did the southern city of Siena. Even after doing so many churches, the Siena cathederal was a thing of beauty. Cool fact, the main square in Siena, piazza del Campo has an annual bareback horse race, Palio di Siena. Its nuts! Youtube it'.

Tom Hanks: I admire Aamir Khan's work for society

È curioso che Aamir Khan sia sempre stato accostato dai suoi fan a Tom Hanks, e che proprio il celebre attore hollywoodiano abbia recentemente manifestato la sua ammirazione per Aamir, dopo aver letto un articolo che lo riguarda pubblicato da Time Asia nel numero del 10 settembre 2012 (per un estratto: clicca qui). I admire Aamir Khan's work for society: Tom Hanks, NDTV, 9 ottobre 2012: 'I really admire the work that Aamir Khan is doing (in India). Very few celebrities take the initiative of coming forward to change the society and he has done a remarkable job. (...) It's the 'giving-back' that's tough. Aamir seems to understand the influencing power of being a celebrity and is using it to act as a catalyst for change in society, something that definitely deserves both appreciation and support from all quarters'.
