5 Star hotel staff taken for a ride by Neetu Chandra

By Flynn Remedios – Futuristic Media Network

The sexy and wild Neetu Chandra was in her element last week. While shooting for One, Two, Three at Mud Island – a scenic locale on the outskirts of Mumbai which is as its name suggests a small island along the coastline of Mumbai near suburban Malad,

The place also houses two 5 star luxury hotels, whose names we won’t mention right now, let’s say out of courtesy.

Neetu who plays a Jat cop in the movie was in her ‘full policewalla uniform’ with glares, badges, revolver and all. Along with the sizzling Neetu, were two hawaldars also in full hawaldar uniform with ‘danda’ and whistles. This journalist happened to be around for an ‘interview’ with the actress.

During the shoot, the ever fidgety Neetu decided to have some fun. She ‘summoned’ her constables and decided to ‘check’ the licenses and other ‘permissions’ at the hotel. So she marched up to the hotel, walked into the main reception area and called for the Manager. While the receptionist and the others in the hotel lobby scurried away promptly to call their boss, Neetu and her ‘orderlies’ walked into the posh restaurant adjoining the lobby.

The hotel manager who was told by his colleagues that ‘an ACP has walked in on a surprise check’ came running down only to find out to his chagrin that ‘ACP’ was none other than a beautiful, sexy woman.

Of course, while Neetu was dressed in a policewoman’s uniform, with all her insignias intact, her designer had made sure that ‘some cleavage’ was definitely showing. The poor hotel manager didn’t know what to do. He had probably handled a lot of ‘difficult’ cops in his career as an F&B and Hospitality professional, but here was a ‘new gorgeous ACP in a tight uniform’ – too much for a poor F&B Manager. Unfortunately, for him or for the hotel staff, none of them recognized the actress.

The look of bewilderment on their eyes was too much for Neetu and her team. They quickly ordered some chai ‘and coffee for madam’ to break the ice, while the manager looked on his tongue too frozen to speak. Then madam decided enough was enough. She called for the bill and decided to scoot before she could break out into peals of laughter. However, the manager who had by then found his tongue, wouldn’t let her settle the bill and insisted that she also try some of the delicacies at the hotel.

Facebook move will compromise Bollywood data

Facebook move will compromise user data – Bollywood better watch out.

According to news reports popular social networking site Facebook.com has announced a marketing ploy that may bring in revenues for the site, but will greatly compromise user data and individual privacy.

The website will permit search engines like Google to index its user database using keywords and other ‘tags’ and throw up user data when queried through a search engine.

Many Bollywood personalities have their profiles on Facebook and many media professionals like this journalist mention contact details like email ids and even telephone or mobile contact numbers.

The idea being that till now, Facebook or even on Orkut details could be accessed only to members and only those ‘certified’ by a user as a ‘friend’ were allowed to access contact data including other personal data like hobbies, etc.

According to technology website Techtree.com the public search function will allow anybody to search for a specific person on Facebook. And this includes people not registered with the social networking Web site.
According to information put out by Facebook, the feature will show a thumbnail of the specific member from his/her profile page, plus links letting others interact with him/her. However for a person to be able to add someone as friend or send a message, he/she has to register with Facebook.


Around a month down the line, the public search feature will allow people to find member profiles -- complete with names, photographs, and other details -- through search engines such as Google, Yahoo!, and MSN.

Despite Facebook's claims to the contrary, privacy advocates are voicing security concerns with respect to the move. They are hugely worried about private data falling into the wrong hands -- and of being used for all the wrong reasons...

Meanwhile, Facebook says the move is driven purely by profit motives and that the information revealed would be minimal, said Techtree.

Besides, the Web site claims that those who want to prevent personal information from being accessed by all-and-sundry on the Web can simply opt out of the feature or change their privacy settings. Either ways, they have one month to do so.

Whatever the case, Facebook is risking the ire of many with its latest move. Considering that just last year, users expressed anger when the Web site introduced a 'news feed' feature that informs everyone on a contact list as to when the user makes changes to his/her profile page.

Bollywood personalities like Shahid Kapoor and a host of other ‘media kinds’ who are avid Facebook fans may have to change their “settings’ or even go underground as their personal email ids and at times phone numbers are likely to become the target of spammers or ‘bots’ – automated search engines that scan the web for ‘programmed information’ like email ids or phone numbers.
