While its easy to spot thestores board on MontiethRoad, a less-determinedsoul wouldnt cross the

store as such, located as it is at thefar end of the little lane thatveers off. A visit, though,proves a pleasant sur-prise.

Pasadi has beenthere for over three

years and caters to aspecific clientele,chiefly women, whokeep coming back. Be-ing run by 22-year-oldDivya, the pretty store spe-cialises in Indian, Indo-Western

and Western wear for women.The latest addition to shelves isthe Beach O Nine line, a range of,

you guessed it, beach wear in theform of denim shorts with se-quinned embellishments, knittedrainbow-huedbikinis, shadeddenim skirts,linen capris,

white linensummer dressesand tunics.There are flip-flops to matchtoo.

Earlier, mygrandmotherand mother

used to design clothes, but chieflyfor friends and on a non-profes-sional basis. I opened the store

with my mom, Sara. Known clientsand word-of-mouth publicity havekept it going, Divya says. We

make it a point to launch a newline every three months, sheadds.

Elaborating on the Beach ONine, she says, We dont have abeach culture in Chennai. We have

a beach but dont make use ofit. Lack of beach culture

nevertheless, of the 80-piece line, all butabout 10 have beensnapped up already.

Besides Beach ONine, one can also

find a good collectionof corset tops in raw

silk, silk dresses, se-quinned tops and embroider-

ed salwar kameezsets. Except the

fabric, everything is made in-house. Were all about custom-making clothes, says the formerPR executive who now takes careof the stores business full-time.We do saris, sari blouses, corsets,

dresses forbrides and bri-desmaids,everything.

Speaking ofthe stores USP,she says, Wecan cater to any-body who walksin and the pric-ing is prettygood for design-er stuff.

Paris doesnt want to be a WAG

P

Ronaldo because she did not wish toend up becoming a footballers wife.

I didnt want to start dating Ronaldo be-cause Ive got no intention of ending upbecoming some kind of footballers wife,the Daily Telegraph quoted her as saying.

The socialite also denied saying that thepair were the new Posh and Becks.

She said: People were saying we werethe new Posh and Becks, in fact thats whatpeople said I was going around saying, butits not true.

Posh and Becks are a beautiful andamazing couple but I would not want to be

just a footballers wife.But some girls just become known for

being a footballers girl. I wouldnt everwant to be pigeon-holed like that.

Meanwhile, Hilton is reportedly back

with former boyfriend Doug Reinhardt. ANI

People who marry are up tothree times more likely to

become obese than those whojust keep dating, according to anew study.

According to the study, soonafter a groom carries his bride

year of living together, while for men the riskkicked in between thefirst and second year.

Couples blamed a lack of ex-ercise, watching too much tele-vision and an over-use ofcomputers.

The study has been publish-ed in the US medical journalObesity.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni has climbed thesporting pinnacle quite quickly. And inthis march to the top, the current Indi-an captain has also been blessed to see

corporates jostling for his endorsement dates.MSD, who celebrated his 28th birthday onTuesday, has endorsed over 20 brands in a ca-reer running only its fifth year now. Someth-ing a Sachin Tendulkar with two decades ofinternational cricket can hardly rival.

He has a mass appeal. From the Hindi hear-tland of UP and Bihar to the very different Ta-mil Nadu, people all across can relate to him.He is a Pahari (mountain people), born andbrought up in Jharkhand and playing for Chen-nai. His success as a captain and also the fairy-

tale story of a small-town boy endears him tothe crowd, Yudhajit Dutta, managing directorof Mindscapes Group, which manages Dhonisportfolio, says. The number of his endorse-ments doesnt only speak of his popularity butone should also go deeper and see that he hasthe power to sell everything from soap tocandy to multinational products like Pepsi andReebok. His versatility is his USP.

Other brand managers who have not beenable to park themselves on the MSD gravytrain complain that mass association withanything and everything can also pave theway to his downslide. Anirban Das Blah, CEO,Globosport, feels that Dhoni has at leastthree years ahead of him as a brand endor-ser. But he also asserts that Dhoni has beenoverexposed and is spreading himself toothin. Brand Dhoni will grow, but the

brands he is endorsing may take the hit,Blah says.He thinks that certain brands that

Dhoni is endorsing are dreadful andhe needs to be more conscious whileselecting the brand with which heassociates. Players like Sachin andeven Rahul and Ganguly had amass appeal during their pinnaclebut they were a bit choosy of the

products. And that suited them. Dhoni now, asthe elder statesman and the leader, should dosomething similar. It will give him longevity.

The T20 World Cup debacle recently hadspread across a panic, with irate fans refusingto see the skippers smiling face every twominutes even after an unceremonious exit. Thepassionate Indian fans were back to haunttheir stars, as effigies were burnt and insultsthrown. But a Man of the Series award and aseries win in the Windies is going to throwthem on the backseat and the confectionerswill have a field day as the same fans outbideach other to celebrate their favourite starsbirthday in the best possible way.

Not only in Ranchi but I am sure across thenation they are celebrating. One loss maymean a lot to the fanatics but the businesspeople have more long-term goals, Dutta re-

torts. A prolonged dip in form may need sometweaking in the financial arrangements butthat doesnt mean parting ways. But now hehas recovered quickly and, thankfully, that hasalways been the case with him.

Recalling the World Cup debacle, Dutta, whohas been handling the cricketers account sincehis debut in 2004, says: In sport you win someand lose some, and Dhoni himself was prettydisconsolate after the World Cup. However, ithad no impact on his general status as one oftop stars.

So now we are now going ahead with plansto launch his branded merchandise in majorshopping malls across India.

Charging a monstrous Rs. four to five croreper endorsement, the skipper is believed tohave made over Rs. 50 crore from endorse-ments itself in 2008 and it looks hardly to slow

down.Summing out the passion and money behindBrand Dhoni, Rohit Ohri, branch head, JWTDelhi (which works on Pepsi), says, Ajay (Ja-deja) could act but Dhoni can give Bollywoodhunks a run for their money. He gives the ad-vertisers everything they want mass appeal,persona and is also a complete natural infront of the camera.

Its a win-win situation.

Dhoni is ruling the

advertisementroost but toomuch of him may

prove detrimentalin the long run.But till he is therelet his fans makethe most of it
