in intensity and running out of

 IN Spain, the unemployment
rate among workers under 25
is more than 50 percent. In
Ireland almost a third of the
young are unemployed. Here
in America, youth unemployment
is "only" 16.5 percent, which is still

PLUSH REALITY |  SOME of the most thought-provoking
ideas at the
International Furniture Fair in
Milan issued not from the
thousands of exhibition booths
and off-site venues or even from the lips
of the designers, pundits and producers
who bring this stalwart city to life every
April. They were written on the walls.
"Thanks Starck," read one such message,
scrawled in the neighbourhood of
Ventura Lambrate, where for the third
consecutive year emerging designers
have shown work and staged Oedipal
battles with the masters. The words
accompanied a drawing of Philippe

007 role: Mendes |  OSCAR-WINNING
director Sam
Mendes said that
he would not have
made the latest
James Bond film Skyfall without
Daniel Craig playing the
MI6 agent because of the
complexity the British
actor has brought to the

Mendes, who won
an Academy Award
for directing
American Beauty
in 1999, has
depicted troubled
men with ordinary
lives -a far
cry from 007, the
ultimate action
hero.
Bond´s playboy
image does
not reflect the
flawed hero in
novelist Ian
Fleming´s books,
first published in
1953, Mendes,
46, told a press
conference in
Istanbul, where
Skyfall is being
shot this month.

Mukesh has been keeping
a low profile but the
actor reveals it´s his work that is
nowadays keeping him busy.
Neil said he is busy travelling
and shooting for Susi
Ganeshan´s directorial venture
Shortcut Romeo.
"Actually, there is a lot of travelling
going on because of
Shortcut Romeo. I was in
Maasai Mara the last two
months and then I was in
Chennai for ten days. Later, I
also visited Goa. Due to a hectic
schedule and a lot of travelling,
I guess, I was unable to meet all
