Single & happy
Purva Grover
The Gen-Now bachelorette brigade is in no hurry to tie the knot. She wants to take one step at a time
A glossy degree. A well-heeled job. An independent flat. A swanky car to drive around. Enviable vital stats of 36-26-36. A fine hand in tossing up a multi-cuisine meal. A fulfilled wishlist of holidays with girlfriends. A male fan following getting larger by the day. A tag of being good with kids in the
neighbourhood.

Cut above the rest
Saurabh Malik
After fashioning a career for himself in dress designing by crafting the looks of Bollywood stars with his uniquely cut apparel, Vikram Phadnis’s designs now include the directing of a flick.
The theme, plot, cast, and even the title, may still be under wraps, but one thing’s for sure — the designer-turned-director is looking for a good-looking girl to walk the ramp of popularity by acting in his film.
The master craftsman, often referred to as Bollywood’s ace designer,
is on the lookout. Rather, he has his starry eyes open for young talent.
“I am yet to sign the cast. And, am not really particular about the
city the girl belongs to. She can be from Mumbai, Delhi or even
Chandigarh.

Free for all
Saurabh Malik
Is it true that anything that comes without a price tag is worth possessing? City residents believe so
All free things in life are good, apparently. No wonder, Chandigarhians seldom miss the opportunity of grasping freebies, tightfistedly and gladly. And if you think it’s an open statement, read about the Sunday morning incident.

The Number Game
Rajiv Bhatia
A Ludhiana man may have purchased
a mobile number for Rs 15 lakh, but city residents are not far
behind
Not long ago, mobile sets were a reflection of your opulent lifestyle.
If you had an expensive one, you were known to be smart among your pals.
But with luxurious and high-tech sets practically coming a dime a dozen,
premium mobile numbers are the new status symbols and have made it to
the most sought-after list.

Flicks in local flavour
Sreedhara Bhasin
I always thought it was odd that for watching a movie in Chandigarh, one has to go to a multiplex in Haryana. That seemed to be the norm and the reason for that was discernible when one tried to find the independent movie theatres here. I was raised in a metro where ‘cinema halls’ dominated people’s entertainment.

I am a 29-year-old girl from a small town and married to this guy from a big city. Since we got married, my husband has labeled me as a small-town girl and makes fun of me in front of all his friends, particularly his girl friends. He wants me to dress a certain way and smoke and drink with them.
