        bottle up your tears—research shows it’s the best way to beat the
        blues, says Lucy Hoe. Once, running on the waterworks in front of
        millions was considered to be a sign that the pressures of fame had
        caused another famous person to lose the plot (think Gazza). But today,
        it is positively revered in fashionable circles. Gywneth did it, the
        Spice Girls did it, and puffy, red eyes accompany every announcement of
        another celebrity couple’s break-up.

        celebration time once again for Bengali director Aparna Sen. Her film Mr
        & Mrs Iyer, has been named as the best feature film at the

        Chowringhee Lane had won the Kodak award for best cinematography in
        the same fest.
