Dear Didi... The sassy soul sister you WISH you had...
Dear Didi,
I am having a huge problem… My ex-boyfriend was a total scrub
and always loaned money off of me when we were together. Now, after having
broken up, I realize that he owes me over $500! Since our split was messy, do you
think I should just write off that money as lost forever, or should I con-
front him and force him to give it back?

Great
Are you a
mom?
1. You have had a rough couple of days
and are absolutely exhausted by the a Taking your kids to the zoo! After all, they deserve
weekend. On Saturday (the only day you a little fun over the weekend too!
get to sleep in), you spend your time:
b. Getting a babysitter (or your hubby!) to take care
of them while you get a manicure. Mama needs her
pampering time, otherwise she will not last the rest of
the week.
c. Watching a movie on TV with the whole family.

Sometimes being at home with the ones you love can
be the most relaxing experience of all.
ANSWER:
B. While many moms are motivated by this false sense
of guilt, which compels them to take their kids out to
parks, zoos, and farms all weekend, a well-balanced mom
will understand that she needs her own time in order to
be a good parent for the rest of the week. If all your time
is spent with her husband and her kids, you will have no
time for yourself, and will eventually lose your personal
identity. Getting a babysitter for two hours will not break
the bank, and it will allow you to relax and unwind.

3. Your best friend from college has
come into town for one day only and
wants you to join her for a night on the
town. The only problem is, your regular
sitter is unavailable and your husband
has his weekly soccer practice. What do
you do?
a. You tell hubby that his soccer team can suck it up
without him this week. You’re gonna get crunk at the
club!
b. You tell your former BFF that family commitments
are first priority. Maybe you guys can meet up next time
she visits?
c. You find a last-minute sitter you’ve never used before
and go out anyways!
ANSWER:
A. While many moms feel like spending a night out (gasp!)
partying and is an irresponsible move for a parent, the op-
posite is in fact true. Friends are to be cherished, and going
out on the town is essential every once in a while. However,

ANSWER:
A. When embarking upon a long plane journey, please
pack some sort of child medicine which can sedate your
little one. Obviously trying to calm them down works as
a preliminary measure, but if the crying/whining extends
beyond the 15-minute mark, it’s simply not fair for other
passengers on the plane. Everyone else on the plane paid
good money for their tickets too, and unlike you, they don’t

c. Watch ‘The Wiggles’ or ‘Blue’s Clues’ with the kids

ANSWER:
B. While taking that time out for yourself might seem
selfish, it’s really the best option of the 3. Giving the kids a
rowdy, splashy bath will only hype them up more, thus mak-
ing them less likely to go to sleep when you want them to.
Allowing them to watch TV right before bed has been known
to trigger nightmares in kids, and will also prevent them from
going to sleep as quickly. Taking some time for yourself and
then reading a little to your kids will keep you fresh and re-
juvenated, and keep the tots bright and mentally active while
sleeping. SN

important parts of our
YOUR lives. Despite this though,
growing up in America
KIDS offers a whole new set of

challenges for our chil-
dren that we may not be
able to understand. Sa-
laam Namaste discusses a
few tips on how to broach
some serious and heavy
issues with your kids in a
way which will bring your
family closer.

SEX:
Although this may be uncomfortable to discuss with your children, it is COMPLETELY necessary. No matter how
masoom your kids seem at the dinner table, they are most likely facing experiences that may cause them to become
sexually active. If your child is a boy, discuss safe sex practices with him and tell him that protection is ALWAYS
mandatory. If your child is a girl, discuss birth control options like pills with her. No matter the gender, try and ex-
plain the emotional implications that come with being sexually active and that abstinence, though hokey, is truly the
safest and best option for them until they’re sure their partner is ‘the one’.
DRUGS:
Even if your son and daughter feel strongly against drug use, they may change their minds and indulge without you
knowing it. Find a comfortable way to discuss the issue with your children, and be informative, not angry. Explain
the consequences that come with drug use, and remind them that apart from the legal implications and jail time that
drug use brings, it may also put their dreams (college, marriage, children) on the line.
DRINKING:
Many parents are tempted to simply be harsh with their children on this issue and ban drinking completely. However,
realistically, if your child is in high school, they probably attend social gatherings where mild drinking is common-
place. Instead of simply admonishing them, try and focus on their safety by explaining which drinks contain too
much alcohol content for them to handle, and to ensure that a designated driver is present. This will help them open
up to you in case they are ever in trouble in an alcohol-related incident in the future.
PEER PRESSURE:
Even though we try and raise our children to be distinctive and unique individuals, sometimes peer pressure gets to
them, despite their better judgment. Explain to your kids that it’s okay to be unpopular or out of favor for standing
up for their beliefs, and that they should have respect for everyone, regardless of their personal views. In addition,
reason with them and explain that even though bowing down to peer pressure may get them some popularity or new
friends in the short-term, people will have more respect for them if they have a backbone and don’t compromise
their morals. SN

RESTAURANT REVIEW
By: Ali Fazal
In my years of traveling to South Asian restaurants

around Dallas, I’ve pretty much learned what to expect.
Slightly bland if comforting food, a slightly hokey and
boring ambience, along with a tepid buffet to boot.
These were the very expectations I had when walking
into Spice Inn that day. I would probably have some de-
cent food and be on my way. Upon entering this unique
and refreshing establishment, however, I knew I was in
for quite a surprise.
Mere moments after crossing the threshold of Spice

Inn, I felt an explosion of sensation. I felt comforted
by the friendly hostess greeting at the door, leading me
to my table as if I was some foreign VIP. I felt soothed
by the relaxing ambience, gently accompanied by the
strumming of a gentle sitar. And most of all, I felt
RAVENOUS, as the savory aroma of the buffet was
awaiting me.
Upon grabbing my plate for the buffet, I was tapped

on the shoulder by a fellow patron. “One plate won’t
be enough for this buffet,” he kindly joked. As I looked
onto the never-ending buffet, I suspected he was right.
I threw all formal etiquette to the wind, and filled my
plates (and later my stomach) with a aromatic sampler
of Indian cuisine. Instead of focusing upon one type
of Indian cuisine like most similar establishments, Spice
Inn clearly had pulled from all kinds of culinary inspi-
rations. There was North Indian cuisine, South Indian
cuisine, treats from Pakistan, and a little bit of Chinese
food thrown in for good measure. This eclectic blend

After gorging on helping upon helping of Spice Inn’s never

ending buffet, I had mixed feelings. While I was completely
satiated with the amazing food, I was also worried that I had
inhaled about a week’s worth of caloric content. Luckily, after
my chat with Spice Inn owner Pratap Bhimireddy, I realized I
had no reason to worry.
“We are a socially-conscious restaurant, and as a result, we have

stopped using preservatives and unhealthy items in our food,”
Bhimireddy told me. I was in total disbelief. Could that sumptu-
ous feast I just indulged in really be, gulp. A healthy meal? Upon
hearing further explanations of Bhimireddy’s kitchen process, I
was reassured. The reason they are able to cut corners with fatty
ingredients and maintain all the flavor is simple. They have the
best chefs in town. “I specifically hired chefs who had a spe-
cialty that they were renowned for. We have one man who is the
king of Biryanis. Another who makes world-famous curries,”
he said. “By assigning each chef a niche area of South Asian
cuisine, we are able to have low fat and high flavor.”
Upon hearing of this genius process (how have more restau-

rants not picked up on it?), I was immediately a little wary. After
all, such a time-consuming and intense gourmet preparation to form opinions, ideas, and pre-conceived notions

AreYouReady
To Be A
Mom?
Make sure you are financially stable. With the rising costs of
formula, diapers, and expensive shots, taking care of a baby
is not easy for everyone anymore. Check with your accoun-
tant or financial handler to ensure that you have the funds to
raise a child the right way.
Check and see if your household is a loving one. Regardless

of whether you intend to be a single parent or raise a child
with your spouse, your household should exude peace and
calm, at least for the first few years of a baby’s life.
Ensure that you have the support of family and friends.

Even though you might think raising a child cannot be that
hard (after all, the bahus on Kyunki Saas Bhi… do it effort-
lessly in perfect hair and makeup in between catfights!),
you will be shocked at the work that goes into it. Make
sure that you have a good support system around you
to help with babysitting, cooking, and other errands
which you might not have time to do with a little
one around.
Be sure it’s the right time for you. When think-

ing of conceiving, make sure you know how
you plan on balancing your career and your
newborn. Also, be realistic in your expec-
tations. You will not be in the right place
(emotionally or psychologically) to go
gunning for a big promotion
right after your little chotu
is born. Check with work
to ensure there won’t be
any issues with you taking
maternity leave.
Evaluate if it’s what you

REALLY want. So many
moms, shortly after the new-
ness of having a cute little baby
has worn off, regret the decision
to have a baby instead of focusing
on their other life goals. Having kids is
not for everyone, so if you don’t think it’s
for you, don’t feel bad. Embrace the kind of
person you are, and whether your personality
would be well suited to being a parent. Remem-
ber, it is a job for life! SN
Happy Mother’s Day,
Mom! By Gagan K. Singh
That’s what we say to our mommies on Mother’s Day. Moth-

er’s Day is a celebration of Moms all around the world and will be
celebrated on Sunday, May 10, 2009 this year. People recognize this
special day in many different ways but mom is the main focus of the
day and everything revolves around her. It’s our chance to thank our
moms for all that they do.
The modern Mother’s Day holiday was created by Anna Jarvis

as a day for each family to honor its mother and is now celebrated in
various ways around the world. It complements Father’s Day, the cel-
ebration honoring fathers. Mother’s day means making our moms feel
loved and appreciated. Whether we do it by cooking her a great meal
or by giving her a box of chocolates, we want to make sure we thank
mom for her dedication and commitment toward us in a special way.
When I was younger, I wondered what the big deal was about
having a mother’s day. Why did I need a special day to tell my mom
I love her? Don’t I show it every day just by being there? Isn’t it her
job to cook for me and clean for me? Aren’t I her little bundle of joy
she loves no matter what? The fact of the matter is that we often take
our moms for granted. We don’t realize the importance of moms until
we’re all grown up, until we fend for ourselves. Think of all the things
mom did for you as a child. She cooked for you, cleaned for you, got
you dressed for school, helped you with homework, drove you to your
games, took you to your dance class and, well, the list could go on for-
ever. And, how about all the small things mom did for you? Think of
the hug you got when you had a tough day at school, think of the time
she wiped the tear off your face when you cried, think of that kiss on
the cheek right before you went off to school, think of her reading you
a bed time story when you couldn’t fall asleep, just think of all the little
things she did to make you feel safe and secure. Moms truly are amaz-
ing and there’s nothing we can ever do to repay them for all they’ve
done for us. But we can make Mom feel like the most special person in
this world on Mother’s Day!

So let’s take this opportunity to thank mom for all she’s done.
Let’s cook her a great meal, give her flowers, write her a special note,
give her a hug, pamper her, give her a day off from work, get her a
box of chocolates, take her to a movie, clean the house for her or give
her the piece of jewelry she’s always wanted. But no matter what,
let’s make sure we tell her how much we love her and how we couldn’t
imagine life without her. Let’s let her know how lucky we are to have
her, especially when we are living among so many who aren’t fortunate
enough to experience the love – the love of a mother.

Mom Will Always
Be My Lucky Charm
By Gagan K. Singh
Thinking of mom reminds me of when I was just five,
She made me feel so special and was sure I never cried.
I haven’t seen her in years,
And thinking of her still brings me to tears.
All my friends had moms growing up,
But I just had dreams of her showing up.
She promised she’d return soon,
And I waited all night looking at the moon.
Many moons have come and gone,
She is still not back and it’s just another dawn.
I’m all grown up now and miss her dearly,
But I can still feel presence ever so clearly.
She watches over me every single day,
And makes me feel secure and safe.
She takes care of me night and day,
And blesses me when I pray.
Even though I can’t see her,
She stays close to me and I can always feel her.
Although I can’t hug her with wide open arms,
But my mom will always be my lucky charm.
I love you Mom, Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms out there!

Saif out, Ranbir-Priyanka in?
It looks like the seemingly never-say-die friendship between director Siddharth Anand and
Saif Ali Khan is for all practical purposes, over.
After their two films together Salaam Namaste and Ta Ra Rum Pum, the two had sworn to
work together again... and again. However, Ta Ra Rum Pum didn’t do well. And Siddharth
quickly got gravitated towards his childhood buddy Ranbir Kapoor for his next film Bachna
Ae Haseeno.
It was widely believed that Saif would be back in Sid

Anand’s next which he is committed to make for pro-
ducer Sajid Nadiadwala.
But the producer confirms that Ranbir is the lead in the film that Sid Anand is making for
Nadiadwala.
The surprising bit of casting is the hot-and-happening Priyanka Chopra. Though neither producer
nor director are willing to confirm, according to dependable sources, Priyanka who’s currently
shooting with Uday Chopra for Yash Raj Films Pyaar Impossible will be teamed
up with Ranbir for the first time.
The actress has lately been window-shopping for the

hottest male actors in Bollywood and has so far managed films
with all the three Khan superstars, several projects with Abhishek
Bachchan, Akshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan, has just completed
Kaminey with Shahid Kapoor and is now on to the new generation of stars
with Ranbir leading the bright pack. The pairing spree certainly gives Priyanka an edge over her rivals.
Siddharth Anand describes the Ranbir-Priyanka film as, “A rom-com which I’ve specialized in over the
years. But this is a twisted one with a twang and all that jazz.”
Shahrukh-Salman CLASH!
If all goes well, Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan will come face to face on July 3. The clash is purely professional, what with
their respective films - SRK’s Dulha Mil Gaya and Salman’s Wanted - hitting the screens on that Friday.
Dulha Mil Gaya producer Viveck Vaswani is eyeing 3rd July because “July 4 is Independence Day in America and Shahrukh
enjoys a massive following there. I would like to capitalize on the Independence Day weekend,” Viveck tells me. Which means
Dulha Mil Gaya will clash with Salman Khan’s Wanted. “If Boney Kapoor says he’s committed for 3rd July and requests me to
shift my film to another week, I will do so. But so far there haven’t been any talks,” Viveck clarifies.
Dulha Mil Gaya is far from complete. Reportedly, SRK’s portions remain to be filmed. “The talkie is complete. Just one qaw-
wali remains to be shot, which can be included at the last minute too,” Viveck reveals. He also rubbishes rumors that SRK has
delayed the film. “Shahrukh had informed me at the very outset of his busy schedule and the possibility of the film getting de-
layed. The delay is not because of him, it’s because of me. An important schedule went haywire when my father passed away.
Later, Shahrukhsuffered an injury on my sets, hence things have been pushed forward.”
Meanwhile, Dulha Mil Gaya continues to remain in news. The latest is, Anil Ambani’s Big Pictures has relinquished the rights
of the project. True? “Yes, they have. The withdrawal was due to re-strategizing the company, given the current economic
scenario. But I’ll offer them the film once it’s ready. If they want to pick up the rights then, it’s okay. Else, the money invested
by Big will be refunded at the time of release,” he states.

Jiah Khan ousted!
Incensed by the outrageous ouster of Jiah Khan from Ken Ghosh’s Yahoo, the
Ghajini producer Madhu Mantena has immedi-
ately signed Jiah for a 3-film deal.
“I think I owe her that,” says Madhu

Mantena, “Especially after the way she
has been treated.”
Jiah who has so far been very quiet

about the unceremonious dismissal
finally spoke up about being
sacked after shooting 90 per-
cent of the film.
“What can I say? The

producer and director know
best. God has a unique
way of weaving things out.
I must admit I was very low
after what happened. When
Madhu’s call came it was like
a sign from heaven.”
The actress met up with

the producer on Monday
afternoon. One of the
films that Jiah has appar-
ently been signed for is
the much talked-about
sequel to Ghajini.
Jiah has learnt the virtues of caution. “It’s much too early to talk about what
we’re doing together. But the important thing is, Madhu came forward when he
thought I was in a situation. UTV whose film Yahoo I lost (apparently because
the role was changed, and I’ve no reason to disbelieve them), have also signed me
for a 2-film deal.”
Why sign Jiah for 2 films after sacking her? Jiah shrugs, “I’m too small, too new
and too much of an outsider to comment on why UTV did what they did. I did
work for almost two years on Yahoo. I performed a very difficult dance number
with Shahid. And I was very proud of matching steps with him. Like I said it’s
not mine to question why.”
Jiah has also signed Sajid Khan’s House Full where she has two other leading
ladies Deepika Padukone and Lara Dutta fighting for Akshay Kumar’s atten-
tion. “But I’ve my own track. And I get to do comedy for the first time. I was
very good at comedy in acting school.” Then after a pause she says, “At last I’ve
something to laugh about”.
The hurt of rejection and betrayal is barely concealed under the wry laughter.

films - SRK’s
strike and other issues are taken care of.”
Dulha Mil Gaya and Salman’s Wanted - hitting the
screens on that Friday.
Vaada Raha is a family-oriented
film full of emotions and
Dulha Mil Gaya producer Viveck Vaswani
has Bobby playing the
is eyeing 3rd July because “July 4 is Independence
role of a doctor.
Day in America and Shahrukh enjoys a massive
following there. I would like to capitalize on the In-
dependence Day weekend,” Viveck tells me. Which
means Dulha Mil Gaya will clash with Salman
Khan’s Wanted. “If Boney Kapoor says he’s com-
mitted for 3rd July and requests me to shift my
film to another week, I will do so. But so far there
haven’t been any talks,” Viveck clarifies.
Dulha Mil Gaya is far from complete.

Reportedly, SRK’s portions remain to be filmed.
“The talkie is complete. Just one qawwali remains
to be shot, which can be included at the last minute
too,” Viveck reveals. He also rubbishes rumors that
SRK has delayed the film. “Shahrukh had informed
me at the very outset of his busy schedule and the
possibility of the film getting delayed. The delay is
not because of him, it’s because of me. An impor-
tant schedule went haywire when my father passed
away. Later, Shahrukhsuffered an injury on my sets,
hence things have been pushed forward.”
Meanwhile, Dulha Mil Gaya continues to

remain in news. The latest is, Anil Ambani’s Big
Pictures has relinquished the rights of the project.
True? “Yes, they have. The withdrawal was due to
re-strategizing the company, given the current eco-
nomic scenario. But I’ll offer them the film once
it’s ready. If they want to pick up the rights then,
it’s okay. Else, the money invested by Big will be
refunded at the time of release,” he states. SN
