A memorial service has been held for Sir John Mills. Richard Attenborough, Judi Dench and Michael Caine joined Mills' family to pay tribute to the accomplished actor at a memorial service held in London yesterday.
Mills died at his Buckinghamshire, England home in April following a short illness at the age of ninety-seven.
Dench said he was, "the most talented, the most adorable, the most charming and the naughtiest man I have ever met." Mills' daughter added, "If I had to chose three words to describe him, I think they would be loving, brave and funny. He was the funniest man I have ever known."
Attenborough said of his friend of sixty-three years, "I thought he was a hero then and to me he remained so throughout his life. I shall miss his guidance, I shall miss his caring and his unfailing sense of honor, but most of all I shall miss his loyalty and devotion in our lasting friendship."
Saving the Tigers from extinction It was a hurriedly organized citizen’s meeting at Guwahati Press Club, where serious concerns were expressed at the increasing trend of poaching and killing of wildlife in various parts of Assam.
The EIP factor - what you should learn from it When we grow older, or get older for the sake of the argument, we tend to start seeing the world only from one side. We tend to believe, no, not believe but know, how things are done. If you are smart, you understand that it shouldn't be that way, you understand this is wrong.
Whether we want to admit it or not, even now, in year 2012, there are still big gender biases in some fields of life. While it's generally understandable that men should do more heavy lifting than women and knitting fits a bit better for the women (even though I am aware even here there are many people who want to disagree), art is one of those things where our gender really should not play any significant role at all. And within the past decade things have started to change even on this front and even on the more conservative arenas such as Bukowskis - the top Nordic auction house.
