On the Brunch radar

We love the trailer of Shaandaar, but hate the child abuse videos that came out of Pakistan’s Punjab. Here's a round-up of things we loved this week and those that ought to be shoved.

We love the trailer of Shaandaar, but hate the child abuse videos that came out of Pakistan’s Punjab. Here's a round-up of things we loved this week and those that ought to be shoved.

Love it
* When Paulo Coelho tweeted My Name Is Khan was the best film he’d seen this year
* Kate Winslet ran into a woman who bullied her in school, and said, “I want to thank you for being such a b**ch because it made me a lot stronger”
* That everybody discovered what a catch Micromax co-founder Rahul Sharma is AFTER reports of his engagement to actress Asin
* How Indian parents all over the world took credit when Sundar Pichai was named the Google CEO
* The shaandaar trailer of Shaandaar

Shove it
* Mumbai Police and what they think constitutes “public decency” #ApologyNotAccepted
* The child abuse videos that came out of Pakistan’s Punjab. And the realisation that abuse is rampant, and so many of us just live in denial
* Radhe Maa. I don’t even...
* Telangana deputy CM Mahmood Ali, who said the Charminar would be razed if it becomes dilapidated
* Woody Allen – when he first got together with his now-wife-but-then-partner’s-adopted-daughter, he “thought it would just be a fling.”
