Nishas world and baby Alisha

From red carpet events and pop star reunions to finalized divorces and visits to rehab, it's been quite a hectic year in Tinseltown.Heres some of the fabulous looks and fashion faux pas.. you decide who was your style icon and who was not!

1.Katherine Heigl,Glowing at the 2007 Emmys in this Zac Posen gown.
2.Britney Spears, an attempted comeback flopping at the MTV Video Music Awards, Britney's continued to keep the paparazzi employed with her frequent crotch shots and by hitting the town in tasteless clothing.
3.Reese Witherspoon ruled the red carpet in 2007. sleek and sexy in this strapless, tiered Nina Ricci gown, Reese defines glamour.


She's still our favorite diva, but Beyonce's style seemed a bit off key in 2007. The outfit is not even flattering to B's curvaceous frame.

Helen Mirren dazzled the crowd at this year's Academy Awards in a floral Christian Lacroix gown. It's been quite a successful year for her, and she's never looked so glamorous.

The adorably sexy George Clooney makes looking good seem easy and his style never seems to fail.

1.Despite her single topping the charts, it was a rough year for Amy Winehouse. She always finished off her look with nothing less than this infamous beehive.
2.Heidi Klum at the 2007 Emmys, she dazzled in this strapless Dior gown.
3.Victoria Beckham at the MTV Movie Awards and She bought out the wild side in her.

Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp's style bombed in fashion headquarters.Although he still exudes sex appeal with ease, has the actor's style sense been lost at sea?

So we're flashing on every news channel! But whats all the hype about? well its Bird flu this time in Calcutta, from where i belong.. and not a good time for all the calcuttans who are compelled to quit consuming poultry(sigh).. imagine chicken and eggs being excluded from our meals! how cruel is this, just like some curfew, like everything has gone haywire! i cant think of any alternative to replace the taste of poultry and eggs, i cant feed that to baby Alisha who doesn't seem to be interested in any food except eggs! when will the chickens be back safely?

Few days ago West Bengal birds were found to be carrying the H5N1 virus which can cause avian influenza in humans.. WB had appealed to all other states to help cull up chickens suspected of having the disease.19 districts were supposed have been affected, with a population of 24 million.. phew!

Nepal is said have banned poultry imports from India.. Bangladesh fears an outbreak too.

So what is bird flu?
Avian influenza is an infectious disease of birds caused by type A strains of the influenza virus.All birds are thought to be susceptible to the avian influenza, though some species, such as wild ducks, are more resistant than others. Domestic poultry, such as chickens or turkeys, are particularly susceptible.

How does it effect people?
Avian influenza does not normally infect species other than birds and pigs. But humans came down with the bird flu in Hong Kong in 1997, when the H5N1 strain infecting 18 humans, 6 of whom died.

Genetic studies showed the virus jumped directly from birds to humans, and caused severe illness with high mortality.

What are the symptoms, can it be tested and how do you treat it?
When humans came down with H5N1 bird flu in Hong Kong in 1997, patients developed symptoms of fever, sore throat, cough and, in several of the fatal cases, severe respiratory distress secondary to viral pneumo

Antiviral drugs, some of which can be used for both treatment and prevention, are clinically effective against influenza A virus strains in otherwise healthy adults and children, but have some limitations

I just want people to be cautious, as prevention is better than cure.. dont you agree?
