Let Yuletide spirit flow free It’s that time of the year again when you let your hair down and dance to the thumping beats of celebrations in discs and nightclubs. For making the Christmas Day a big success,
Saurabh Malik tells you how to decorate your house, and about the gifts available in the market, along with the joints you should be seen in. Christmas is already here and you still haven’t decorated your house. Well folks, it is never too late. Just drive down to any card or gift shop in the city and take home Christmas decorations for celebrating the festive spirit. To begin with, go in for an impressive Christmas tree for adoring a corner of your room for the big day. Jewels in Sector 11 is selling trees imported all the way from China. Even the Indian ones are there, but they are not all that attractive. In case you wish to go in for “elaborate trees”, pick up the ones with glowing needle tips. You can also buy the revolving trees by pulling out something like Rs 2,000 from your wallet. “The tree is worth the price,” says Raman of Jewels. You can also buy the less expensive ones without burning holes in your pockets. Dawson House in the same sector is also selling trees. In fact, you can buy it for anywhere between Rs 39 and Rs 600 depending upon the size and the quality. The owner, Krishna Sahoonja, says the height varies from one feet to six feet. The Garden Store in Sector 8 also has a nice collection of trees. Also remember to buy glittering bells in gold and silver. Hang them from the tree for that special Christmas effect. Buy other decorations also, like miniature Santas, drums, gift boxes and even felt stockings. Do not forget to pick up buntings and twinkling star. The stuff is available in almost all gift shops in the city. You can also buy it from some of the shops in Sector 20, 22 and 23 without pulling out much from your wallet.
You have said it with chocolates, wished each other through the short message service. Now take out some time and buy a nice card for your loved one for Christmas. Nay, we are not talking about the electronic cards sent through e-mails. But the ones available in the card and gift shops all over the city. “No matter what people say, nothing can beat a nice printed card sent through the snail mail,” says young business executive with a multinational organisation Rajiv Bhasin. “It has its own charm. You can keep it on the desk in front of your eyes, constantly. Or else, preserve it along with other memoirs of love, clandestinely. The choice is entirely yours”. No wonder, the thirty-something has purchased a bundle of nice cards with chuckling roses from an Archies Gallery in Sector 22. In fact, he has already posted quite a few cards to his friends and relatives.
Catering to the wishes of Bhasin and so many others, the gift shops are full of cards for celebrating the Yuletide spirit. “You have the ones depicting the birth of Christ, besides the ones with other religious scenes,” says Krishna Sahoonja of Dewson Greetings in Sector 11.
As lovers look for an opportunity to express love, there are ones for the young couples also with nice romantic messages. They are not very expensive either. You can buy them for anywhere between Rs 10 and Rs 100. And if your friend has a funny bone, there are humorous cards just for him. So guys, pick up the cards now and Merry Christmas. Dress to celebrate Glam up girls. Forget all about denims, even the ones embellished with rich zardosi. Damsels of the world are taking out nice body hugging lycra tops for wearing them over long-breath inviting short skirt with twin tantalising slits on either sides. The guys can shake, rattle and roll in worn-at-knees, even in suits with the latest cuts. Anything. For dancing dames, nothing less than ah-aspiring short skirts will suffice. Having doubts? Ask Anuradha Kohli. She is hell bent upon twisting and shouting on the polished dance floor of life to the deafening beat of bhangra music in sinfully sensuous minis. Make no mistakes; she has already picked up an adorable black skirt - with ribbon piping. The demoiselle plans to team it with a cheerful red halter neck top. And of course net stockings. Has picked up high heel ankle boots too.
The under-grad is sure chill will not freeze the thrill. In any case, she is not averse to zipping up a nice faux leather jacket if the cold gets unbearable. “It will only glam up my garb,” she asserts before flashing a bright smile. Tilting her head just a little bit, Kohli confesses: “My previous year’s salwar-kameez with zari work at the borders is all starched, folded, and neatly stacked in the closet of my memory. Never to be taken out, again. At least not during the formally casual parties. At home, I can consider donning it. Outside,
no way”. Her best pal-cum-neighbour Vasudha Chaudhary is contemplating the same. She plans to descend on the illuminated floor in a layered skirt for adding that extra swish. “I will wear it with a toon-inspired red sleeveless girle top with nice little beads under a black jacket,” she whispers, “When tearing excitement breaks lose and the spirits are high even without booze, the jacket will go off the shoulder, up in the air,” jabs the postgraduate student. For the two, feeling the warmth of party gladrags around their beauteous self wasn’t easy. The duo suffered with grace the pangs of temptation for good three months. Pushed chicken-in-a-bun, even black currant ice creams, out of their restless secret dreams, just to save Rs 6,000. They succeeded, fortunately. “The skirt turned out to be more expensive than I could have ever imagined - Rs 850. But then I was lucky enough to get the top cheap from Janpath in Delhi,” chirps Chaudhary. “It was the leather jacket that burnt gaping holes in my handbag”. Well gals, the two are good and ready. What about you? What minis excite a frown on daddy’s wrinkled-with-experienced face. Worry not, city-based fashion designer Reshmi has a solution. “You can twirl around the floor in saucy red tie-and-dye drawstring pant with black belt and a top of the same hue. Else, wear gowns. This is not all. You can cut foot loose in wrap-arounds, bright long dresses, even formal suits with a lot of buttons,” she suggests. Another thing. Just remember to wear a nice little Santa cap with your dress for celebrating the Yuletide spirit. It’s in. Now kids, what are you waiting for? Waste no Gift that Christmas spirit Love is an expensive affair. Just over a month ago, you gave her a box of expensive chocolates imported all the way from Switzerland after borrowing money from your pal. Though you haven’t even returned the dough to your friend, and she is asking for another gift. Well, guys, here is a complete guide to Christmas shopping complied to make your job easy: Gift her a nice singing and foot tapping Santa - in Chandigarh all the way from China. You can buy it from Jewels in Sector 11. The owner, Raman, says you can take home the stuff by pulling out anywhere between Rs 150 and Rs 3000 from your wallet. Or else, you can present her nice cheerful Santa caps with twinkling lights that enhance the glitter. The caps are available in gift shops all over the city and are not very expensive either. They can be had for just Rs 45. Candles continue to be a rage. Gift aromatic candles, or the ones moulded into chuckling flowers. Tie them in bundles with a nice ribbon or stack them in a festive box. Include an appropriate candleholder.
Dewsons is also offering nice little perfume bottles and other gifts specially packed for the occasions. “You can also take home Christ on the cross, besides decoration pieces depicting the Yuletide spirit,” says the owner, Krishna Sahoonja. For coffee lovers, fill a cup with packets of different flavours or even coco, along with chocolate-covered spoons. Select a cookbook for homemakers. Place it with dry ingredients in a decorative basket. Beaded necklace with a sterling silver chain can also be presented to girls. Cute and cuddly teddies are a girl’s best friend. Gift them the ones with interesting messages. Perfumes make great gifts. Homemade gifts from the kitchen will impress your friends and relatives. Fill up jars with your homemade jams and jellies. Or else, make and gift special ornaments for the Christmas tree with glue-on beads and faux jewels. Try making your own felt stockings. Just ensure they are large enough to hold a bottle of wine or homemade salad dressings. Photos make great gifts. Try taking pictures of events throughout the year or of one special activity. Place them in an attractive album with comments. Picture frames are also in. Go in for twin photo frames with heart motifs. Make theme or hobby baskets. Fill them with goodies. If you are oven friendly, bake your finest pound or rum cake. Wrap securely and place it in a decorative tin. It will not take more than an hour for you to finish the job. Wine connoisseurs will enjoy a set of wine stoppers. Wristwatches, designed specially for the occasion in cheerful shades, can also be gifted. Album of carols, specially complied for the occasion, are in. If your friend has a CD player, buy him a disc. Otherwise cassettes are there for you. Walkman is another good gift. Phew! You have so much to choose from.
You can also go in for mistletoes available in all shapes and sizes. The ones embellished with pinecones and other dry fruits are a bit expensive. They are available for approximately Rs 600. The cheaper ones are also available.

GREEN SPACE Ferns are the most common house plants. Even though delicate looking, they are hardy and versatile. Put them in a flower arrangement and they strike a delicate balance. Induct them in a bouquet of roses and they contrast the largeness of the blooms with their feathery fronds. Make a bridal bouquet and ferns add length and grace to the piece. Place them around lighted, dinner candles and the play of light looks ethereal. Dry some ferns between the pages of a book and you can create the most exquisite cards for all occasions. You can even stick pieces of dry fern on the sides of a large candle. At Christmas, gold sprayed ferns make delightful decorations. Ferns have thin, hair like roots which do not require too much water in one-go but must be kept moist at all times. They love humidity and therefore the fronds need to be misted over with water occasionally. As these are hilly area plants, it is a good idea to have similar, humus rich, sandy soil in your pots. Add tiny pea-sized pebbles too. These allow easier breathing for the roots. As ferns hate direct sunlight, they are wonderful around corners or in ornamental pots on coffee tables. They flourish in bathrooms. Hanging pots with ferns is another beautiful option. The old wire cage we used for eggs and onions makes an ideal hanging basket. Line this with large, dry leaves and moss. Put in soil and pebbles and then press in the fern roots. As this is a hanging arrangement, only adequate amounts of water are retained. Therefore it is necessary to water the plants daily. Soon the fern runners will work their way through the rotting leaves giving a vibrant, colorful look. Some spears grow directly from the base and multiply through tiny runners which take root when they find the right soil conditions. We can multiply our plants through these. Some ferns throw out thick hairy, rabbit paw like rhizomes from which leaves emerge periodically. The under-side of most ferns show brown spores, which in the wild, scatter and multiply. But in homes spores do not give much joy. Last but not least are the large, flat, leathery leaved moose, elk and stag-horn ferns. These can be potted but have to have a piece of rotted wood under them in the soil. They are dramatic in appearance but not particularly beautiful. To ensure protection for their delicate roots they throw out round, thick, plate like covers. From the centre of this shield, new leaves and plantlets sprout. The funny thing about these ferns is that they are fussy about the spots they enjoy. You may have to keep experimenting with areas till your fern looks healthy and flourishing. These plants grow best in hanging baskets. They are prone to scales and mush insects. When a leaf looks yellow and bent, be sure to look under it for pests. Remove these gently with a sponge soaked in pesticide. Be sure to wear rubber gloves when you touch bug killers. If you are an asthmatic, wear a paper mask.

Virtual reality IF you have read Ayn Rand’s celebrated novel, ‘The Fountainhead’, you will be able to identify some of the traits of its protagonist, Howard Roark, in Sukhwinder. The burning desire for perfection and total dedication to her profession – she often forgets the passage of time and misses her meals and sleep when immersed in her work. Consequently, one is bowled over by the sheer beauty of her architectural talent. She has designed facades, interiors and even complete buildings that range in size from eight marla houses to prestigious multi-storied shopping malls and building projects spread over several acres. A graduate in architecture from the Chandigarh College of Architecture, she turned her college corridor into an art gallery with her graphics and visualisation assignments in the mid of the session. And, that was a mere glimpse of a promising professional. Most fascinating about this young achiever is her working style. Unlike the conventional mode where the architect spends most of his time and energy on the project’s onsite execution, she uses her computer to generate three-dimensional outputs. Why? “Because the computer helps me come up with designs that incorporate exact minuteness with perfection.” She explains. So, sitting in her studio, she executes projects anywhere in the country through the Internet. Asking her about her visualising technique, she replies, “It’s a combination of professional skills, instinct and insight into the persona of a client.” “For houses, you talk to the clients and get acquainted with their personality traits. Accordingly, the interiors are designed and the exteriors envisaged. Do remember, a building has to be used by people. So, architectural aesthetics must complement functional utility. This holds true of commercial and government buildings as well.” Apart from doing numerous assignments comprising individual houses in Chandigarh, Punjab and Haryana, she has provided consultancy for designing interiors, exteriors and landscaping for such important projects as the Heritage Resort at Jalandhar, Water Fun Sport Park for Haryana Tourism, landscaping of the Air Force Station 3 BRD complex in Chandigarh, renovation of the Renukaji Temple in HP, Extension of YPS School in Mohali, the Shreeom housing project in Panchkula, and many others. Sukhwinder is a brilliant animator too. She takes clients on a tour of their virtual dream house or pet project with the help of computer generated
animation movies. She had visualised the famed Naptha Jakhri Dam, the PUDA Bhawan, the Japanese hotel-cum-hostel in Gurgaon, apart from being associated as assistant architect with the ‘Satnam Namita and Associates’. And, if you thought she confines her skills to buildings, she quickly rids you of such misconception. “I’ve done 3D animated series of Akbar-Birbal for Diamond Comics. I want to leave my mark in the fields of architecture engineering and cinematics.” She announces with the confidence of a person who knows her mind. Sukhwinder, daughter of a retired Army officer, chucked a secure job to become a freelancer. Despite being an all-India GATE topper, left “the charm of Masters in IIT” to carve out her own niche in the professional world of animation and architectural visualisation. Her motto is a line from Jonathan Livingston Seagull, “Follow your dreams and make your own rules”.

Year. — IANS Saif Ali Khan’s musical debut
On his performance, Saif Ali Khan said,”I have been on stage so many times but this is the first time I am on stage with a guitar, and it feels different”. The audience went crazy as band members of Parikrama appeared on stage. After setting the stage on fire for half-an-hour, lead singer Subir Malik called his friend and hero of the evening, Saif Ali Khan, clad in white Tees and blue jeans, on stage. This 35-year-old actor played lead guitarist to rock band Parikrama and even sung to the tunes of ‘’Highway to hell,’’ ‘’Roadhouse blues’’ and ‘’Jonny be good.’’ But thousands of fans skipped a beat when the star hymned the special Royal Stag anthem-hey ya hey ya.

—UNI Friend saves Burns’ life
Former ‘Baywatch’ star Brooke Burns, who broke her neck last month after diving into her backyard pool, credited a friend —a paramedic firefighter — with saving her life. “I literally broke my neck. It’s a classic neck-break from chin-to-chest,” the actress told ‘Access Hollywood’ in an interview that aired in the US last night. “If I had been alone, I would probably be dead.” Burns said her friend “saw me dive in, and he wrapped a wet towel around my neck and basically immobilized me and floated me in the pool until the paramedics came, so he saved my life.” “If I had been with anyone else that tried to move me, I would be at least half-paralyzed, if not completely paraplegic,” she said. Burns said that since her accident, she has been closer to ex-husband Julian McMahon, star of FX’s ‘Nip/Tuck.’ The couple, who divorcd in 2001, have a 5-year-old daughter. “I think he was the first one at the hospital,” she said of McMahon. “He just really came through for me, and we really had a great talk. Family is family, and a piece of paper means nothing... that is what we kind of came down to.”

Holi
hai! Abilash Pillai believes in operating in the silent mode. At least this is the impression we get as students of the Department of Indian Theatre gather around this celebrated director from the National School of Drama to talk about their forthcoming production ‘Holi’. His direction is totally silent. “We were given the total freedom to relive our own lives on stage and did not even realise how the scenes evolved from casual talks and discussion until the entire play took the final shape,” chip in the students, making Abhilash go
visibly red. “The job is not just about directing a script, but to make the group function so that every body contributes his or her best for the production,” he says. And the students nod in unison once again in agreement adding how Abhilash helped them to get into the depth of the characters. Talking about Mahesh Elkunshwar’s play ‘Holi’, he says what surprised him about the script was the abusive language used so profusely. “It was written about 20 year back and really full of fowl languages. Even the students wanted to tone down the dialogues but we are not doing it as the play is all about hostel life, ragging and the humiliation one has to face because of it,” he adds. So do not get surprised if you get confronted with a scene inside a toilet. It may be revolting for an unsuspecting audience at first but the aim behind is to drag the character out of its private space to present it as a real life entity. “When we discussed about the hostel life, the common reply I got was ‘toilets are the crux of hostel life’, so how could we ignore those leaky faucets, non-functional showers and broken flushes,” he tells us. So if you are ready to step down the memory lane, revisit the life you left behind, then ‘Holi’ provides you the perfect getaway. The play will be staged twice, once at 3 pm and again at 6 pm at the open-air theatre at the Department of Indian Theatre on December 24.

Little expectations For the Kapsons group, it was discovering the need to refuel, change tyres, shift gears and zip down the road less traveled that made Kaleidoscope happen. Taking a cue from top business honchos who simultaneously have their fingers in many pies, Kapsons has forayed into the arena of publication. The Kapsons flagship store at Chandigarh, which retails fashion apparels, has now started with a small in-house publication of the magazine called ‘Kaleidoscope’. The fashion and lifestyle magazine launched in September 2005, would be coming out on quarterly basis. It promises to showcase the latest trends in apparels, the inside story of fashion stores and the latest happenings in fashion industry. A sort of bhelpuri of Kapsons stores spread across the region, the magazine fiddles with fashion without much success. For, there’s actually very less to read except info on Kapsons. Here one finds write-ups on Kapkids, Kapsons Jalandhar, Kapsons Amritsar and Kapsons staff (ooh! Where’s the freshness, for heaven’s sake?).There’s a brief section the latest brands in retail industry, hot trends and latest happenings in fashion circuit which offers some hope. Also, the warp and weft of reading material is accessorized well with photographs and captions in abundance, splashes of colour and an impressive layout, et all. All in all, as a fashion and lifestyle magazine, this new entrant lacks creative generosity. Though the glitzy pages of this sleek magazine offer everything latest-latest about the Kapsons group, it has little non-Kapson reading stuff to offer. The magazine can better be perceived as a marketing supplement of the retailer group. Just have your pick if you visit a Kapsons store and flip through the pages with casual ease. No expectations. No promise of class. Just anticipate light fun and maybe, you’ll enjoy it. Still, to buy or not to buy, the choice is all yours. Go ahead and exercise it.
