...secretary Macario Garcia claims the bride price makes the husband commit to the marriage, reducing breakups. "It is so the man gives value to his wife and so he won't easily leave her for another woman," Garcia says, sitting in the shade of a wooden hut under the glare of rugged hilltops. In the ancient tradition, he explains, the suitor negotiates the marriage with the family through a so-called ambassador. After a deal has been struck, the suitor then goes to meet and collect the bride at 2 a.m. on a Wednesday morning. Local custom also permits polygamy...
Echoes of Hell and its abyss of despair resounded from Mumbai at the end of November, when terrorists rampaged through some of the city's most storied sites. From the infernal glare of smoke and flame that wreathed the Taj Mahal Hotel and the nearby Oberoi came harrowing tales of the demonic cruelty carried out inside.

...Supporting cast members contributed greatly to the performance. Natalie Joy Johnson was perfect as the ridiculous and bootylicious stylist Paulette, who becomes Elle’s confidante. Ven Daniel was the true star of the show as the UPS guy who, with one fabulous runway walk and come-hither glare, melts Paulette and succumbs to her messy Bend-and-Snap. Daniel stole more than his scripted center-stage moments as he pranced about with kicks to his head in ensemble dances and then sauntered away like a macho diva.
