 E-love
You may find it surprising :-O, but teenyboppers are mailing letters punctuated with emotions, literally, says
Saurabh Malik
If you still haven’t seen them kissing
electronically :-*) or even winking ;-) enthusiastically, just enter a
chat-room on the Internet after logging on to excitement :-D. The distance may make them
feel separated] [but then they have devised way and means of hugging and
kissing (( )):** , even screaming :-@ , without coming face to face { } . If all this is making you
feel like a smiling blockhead :-] , here’s something that will give you
the impression of being nothing less than an egghead (:I
Scaling new heights
She undertook the uphill task of mountaineering because she wanted to capture the eternal beauty of snow-capped peaks on a canvass. But after scaling new heights of popularity by climbing Mount Everest twice, Padmashri Santosh Yadav has no desire of painting the mountains.
Summer of sequels
If you thought the sequel
craze had seized only Bollywood, then check out the array of sequels
lined up for release in Hollywood. The month began with a peep into

coming Friday followed by Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End,

28 Weeks Later, and many more. Purva Grover

 It’s her way
Vandana Luthra launches customer loyalty programme
Friday evening saw Vandana Luthra, the diva considered to be one of the
pioneers of the beauty industry, set another milestone. Dressed in
traditional attire, the lady was in town to launch a first of its kind
customer loyalty programme, ‘ Way of Life’ in the city. Vandana along with Dr
Jaskiran Deep Kaur Badal, director, health services, kicked off the
programme. With health being the priority for most of us these days, the
Way of Life card offers its members a wide range of benefits that
include VLCC therapies, service and exclusive products.
"Our brand is the
most customer savvy and spreading happiness and positivity is our motto.
The Way of Life programme provides customers a holistic approach to
beauty and weight loss. So, customers can derive maximum benefits by
taking the packages at discounted prices," says Vandana, founder of
VLCC.
An Evening in Paris
Leena Kejriwal captures life in the streets of Paris
Like the name suggests, ‘On the Streets of Paris’, the photography exhibition at Alliance Francaise de Chandigarh is all about a few happy moments that Leena Kejriwal had experienced during her stay there. Life in the streets of Paris—its colour, vibrancy and aesthetics, all find true expression in her hands.
It was an Artist-in-Residence programme, which took Leena, who hails from Kolkata to Paris in 2005. As a photographer, she comes as an unassuming person, finding joy in capturing the scenes as they presented to her—uneventful, untouched and above all, un-constructed.
 High on life
Donning many hats comes easy to television anchor and entrepreneur Geetanjali Kirloskar, currently on a ‘hilly’ ride
She comes across as the eternal seraph of sporting good times! In fact ‘sporty’ would be an understatement and ‘expressively versatile’, more likely the term that describes Geetanjali Kirloskar best.
Anchor (Life’s Like That on Times Now), actor (Samay with Sushmita Sen), mountaineer, entrepreneur, advertising guru (director on the board of Quadrant Communications, the joint-venture advertising agency set up by her in 1998 between Kirloskar and the Interpublic Worldwide Group, the world’s second largest advertising network) and currently chairperson of the non-profit India-Japan Initiative (IJI) set up by her, which aims at connecting people of the two countries through business and interpersonal initiatives, are just some of the hats she wears.
Pun intended
In his latest book Whitewash, Gautam Bhatia takes a dig at everything Indian — right from politics to architecture
Our
association with architect-author Gautam Bhatia is recent. We came into
contact with him when Laurence Wilfred Baker passed away. After all,
Bhatia is considered an authority on the Brick Master of Kerala after he
wrote Laurie Baker’s Life, Works and Writings.
But more than
his knowledge on Baker, what had impressed us was his honesty that came
through this reply — "`85unfortunately, I have very little
personal information on Baker, except for what appeared in the book I
had done on his works 20 years ago."
