The Truth About Ourselves
The human genome sequence has been completed
and shows some surprising findings. Despite having one-third less genes
than estimated, human beings are still very complex. With access to disease
genes, medicine and diagnostics will be revolutionised. However, this
will also raise ethical questions on cloning and genetic privacy.

Profitable Loss
36 With over 90,000 employees opting for the
VRS scheme, PSU banks are set to get over their problem of overstaffing.
But is it going to make banks more competitive in this age of automation?

Restaurant
Colours
purple, blue and yellow light up the interiors of the Latino Bar
at The Park (along with kitschy takes on the Spanish artist Velasquez).
International wines, liquor, liqueurs, picks and platters in an
all-new club ambience do the rest. The menu, a collection of Italian,
Spanish, mid-Eastern, Thai, Continental and Indian specialities
includes innovative picks like Galouti kebab on baby naans and exotic
platters like Jabugo ham and tuna patties. For cocktail buffs the
sprightly red wine-based Sangria is a must; mocktail fans can stick
to the Latino Punch. Meal for two costs Rs 650 (without alcohol).
There are also happy hours from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Call (011) 373-3737
for more details.

 DELHI
Exhibition
Don't
look if you are squeamish. Manoj Bhramar, 28, who interestingly
did sculpture in Delhi's College of Art, now presents a series of
22 pencil drawings in an exhibition provocatively called Strip Show.
The large figurative studies are ripe with sexual expectancy and
tension ... especially the one of sinewy men in stud leather strips
and props. On till March 20 at Gallerie Alternatives, A-22/8, DLF,
Gurgaon. Call (011) 91-6355145.
