Mallika Sherawat, above, the actress known in some circles as Bollywoodâs Bardot, has been cast as an ascetic who befriends Jesus of Nazareth in âThe Aquarian Gospel,â a Hollywood film based on the legend that Jesus visited India, Reuters reported. The $15 million film, directed by Drew Heriot, deals with the life of Jesus between the ages of 13 and 30, a period not documented in the Gospels, when some believe he journeyed through India, Tibet and Persia. In a statement released by her press agent, Ms. Sherawat, whose 17 kissing scenes in her Bollywood debut, âKhwahish,â created a stir, said: âI find that in most mythological and spiritual film stories, women seem to be lacking any true wisdom or a sense of humor. I look forward to bringing both of those qualities to this character.â.

We left Quebec City at 6 AM on our way to New York City via Montreal. It was my first train ride. I've been traveling by plane in the US for 30 years, and have seen the food go from reasonable to horrible, airline employees go from happy to surly, airport security go from somewhat inconvenient to completely ridiculous and the overall experience of plane travel go from enjoyable to barely endurable. That's really what airline travel has become, a barely endurable way to get from point A to point B. It is my hope that train travel will be a "eureka" experience.
