From the soil of Bihar
There were images of herds of goats, mud huts, a well and a paan shop. The sets of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007 conjured up an idyllic rural ambience.
It was all because of the presence of a special guest: Lalu Prasad Yadav. In his characteristic style Yadav motivated the contestants who have reached the final stage of the competition, while the latter tried their best to impress India's most colourful politician.
As always Aneek Dhar stole the show with his rendition of the song Sa Ra Ra Ra Ra/ Dekho Holi Aaye Re. And that left the Railway minister, nostalgic.

Born again
The viewers of Kaajjal have doses of drama in store for them in the coming weeks. There will be a 20-year leap for the characters.
As if that's not enough, there will be a dramatic story of rebirth woven in. While the lead characters, Kaajjal (Suveen Chawla) and Dev (Apporva Agnihotri), will be murdered in the few days while going through a second saat-phera, there will be two new characters who would continue with the romance.
Incidentally, the characters—a baby boy and baby girl—will be born the same moment when Kaajjal and Dev die. They will grow up to be lovers and discover janam janam ka rishta. No, what can is more dramatic?
