Guise! I found Meghan's episode of Webbed! The facebook page kept sending me the youtube link which didn't work for me, but in.com has all of them! I still can't download it from this site, but I'll worry about that later.

Anyway, here it is: http://mtv.in.com/videos/all-videos/show/webbed-episode-5-couch-hopping-with-the-enemy-100128411.html

Webbed is essentially a mini-series about internet safety and each episode shows a tragedy that happened because of the lack thereof.

In this particular episode, Surbhi, an NRI from Canada travels to India and joins in "couch hopping." It's basically a fad nowadays where people stay at other people's houses instead of at hotels while they travel. And one of her hosts, Vinay, takes advantage of her and has her prisoner in his appartment. Jai, played by Meghan, is supposed to be her next host, and he feels like there is fishy going on after Surbhi doesn't show up, so he investigates. He's a computer engineer/hacker so he hacks into Vinay's facebook page, figures out what happened, reports it to the authorities, and ends up saving Surbhi.

I was actually quite horrified watching this. I mean, not that I would ever participate in couch hopping, but it's still incredibly scary. The ending is uplifting though. There is a nice dialogue between Jai and Surbhi.

Oh, and guess what? Meghan gave the producers his own personal facebook photos to use in the episode! One of them is of him with Kritika Sharma (Radha) and Nitin Prabhat (Balram).

Here's the actual picture from his facebook. It was from when he invited everyone to his home for Ganesh Chaturthi.

Aishu, thank you SO much for sharing the link of Meghan's show. It sounds so interesting and definitely on my watch list for this week. I'm so eager to discuss it with you. 😃

Lola, thank you for the news on Damini. It'll be really nice to see her again onscreen! She rocked as Yashoda Maiyya in RSK, just like how I pictured the character.

They are just back from South Africa where they were shooting for the upcoming season of the reality show, Khatron Ke Khiladi. The long and ardous outdoor shoot has left them reeling with fatigue, but the mere mention of food is enough for telly couple Debina Bonnerjee and Gurmeet Chaudhary to rev up.

We join the couple in their kitchen at their home in suburban Mumbai for a culinary experience as Debina tells us...

Cooking is a passion
I love cooking. I can make almost everything " from dal, rice, vegetables to a variety of salads. I also excel in Bengali dishes, Chinese, a variety of fish and chicken dishes besides stews.

Healthy snacks
For a quick snack, the good old noodles come handy. These days, however, I am into making avocado sandwiches with peanut butter for an evening snack. I also make bhel with channa, cucumber, tomato, onion, lime, tamarind juice and some coriander and cumin seed powder. It's a light and healthy snack.

Different worlds
I am from Kolkata while Gurmeet is from Bihar. As he has lived across the country in places like Srinagar, Chennai, Tripura and Jabalpur, he has a taste for different cuisines. Guru (that's what I call my hubby) was a vegetarian before marriage. Being a Bengali, fish is our staple diet, I couldn't do without it. Thankfully, Guru tasted it and loved it. Now he eats all kinds of fish from tuna to smoked salmon and even sushi. In South Africa, I tried sushi and loved it so much that I was eating fish for breakfast too.

Favourite foods
Gurmeet loves Japanese food Smoked salmon, sushi and wasabi are his absolute favourites. He goes on a binge if a dish appeals to his tastebuds. I make kheer with jaggery of dates which is available only during winters in Kolkata. There are times when there has been a sizeable amount of it in the fridge and he has polished it off in the middle of the night. He also likes patishapta " a rice pancake with a coconut filling and dipped in jaggery before eating.

Guests in the house
When we call people over for dinner, I plan an elaborate meal. I usually have paneer starters followed by a vegetarian ghee pulav and yoghurt chicken or a thick egg curry. Since, fish is not preferred by many people, chicken is a safe option. Mango chutney is just the right accompaniment with any meal. For desserts, I prefer the good ole' mishti doi.

Our diet plan
We begin our day with a glass of hot water and cinnamon that boosts metabolism. It is muesli with yoghurt for breakfast as it provides carbohydrates and energy for the entire day. If we still feel hungry, then we go with a sunny side up egg with brown bread. One egg yolk is fine in a day because it has protein equivalent to 15 egg whites.

Eating just egg whites can get monotonous. Gurmeet once had 12 egg whites and was totally put off at the end of it. We then hit the gym and conclude our regime with a protein shake. We carry lunch on the sets which includes chapati, a vegetable, salad and chaas with ajwain. After every meal, we have green tea as it aids digestion. In the evening, we have avocado sandwiches while for dinner . we opt for salads. If we are still hungry, then we have vegetable with a chapati or grilled fish or chicken.

It is not possible to eat on time as we have erratic working hours. If we are awake till late and feel hungry, we go for milk with cornflakes. We are rigid about our food habits and don't change it. Even at home, we stick to this diet plan.

Night out
When dining out, we try to eat healthy by opting for a tomato pasta (it has the minimum carbs), a salad or a grilled fish. There are times when we indulge in Chinese cuisine. I don't remember having ever ordered a pizza. Once, I made a pizza at home, but added so many healthy toppings that it ceased to be a pizza. We are not into chaats at all. For desserts, we savour frozen yogurt. It is a healthy option if eaten in limit. But with Gurmeet, it's no limits of course. We also love to go out in the night to Juhu beach for a gola treat.

Table for two
We have never cooked together because Guru can't even boil an egg. He only sits at the dining table and orders food. He thinks food is cooked in a jiffy. Once when I was unwell, Guru made Maggi noodles for me. I was touched and recovered quickly.
