Bollywood Animated
Kuchi Kuchi Hota Hai will see animated dogs romance
Bollywood style. Magic, action, romance, comedy, fantasy & more is
lined up for 2008
Loved SRK as Baldev Pal aka Mr. Incredible? Smiled at the sweet talk between Hum Tum? Shook a leg with the bear family in Ta Ra Rum Pum? Waited eagerly for Hanuman to return? Hmm ... And yet all this left you asking for more? Well, if it did, then Bollywood in 2008 is just what you’ll love, for the animation-packed year comes with promises to delight not just kids, but mommie-daddy and grandpa-granny too. Be it voice, characters, designs, techniques, locale, storyboard or audience, it’s all going to be up by a notch. Here’s a glimpse of animation flicks that await you.
Now, we, movie buffs, were happy but not quite content, as we watched
Cars, Finding Nemo, Shrek, Happy Feet and more. The telly dosage of
cartoons too, though satisfactory, was not good enough, for we waited to
catch a flick that was ours.
Tasting spaghetti in December
Attribute it to global warming or depict it as a direct aftermath of youth’s warm enthusiasm bubbling deep inside the crowd! Spaghetti tops continue to be a rage amidst the teenyboppers even in December.
Marine magic in Goa
 Go
snorkelling and get a glimpse of the wonders that lie beneath the deep
blue waters
Goa is a favourite Christmas-New Year’s Eve holiday destination for lots of people in North India. For most, a trip to Goa means their first experience of the sea. So here’s a bit of information about snorkelling. It’s a simple adventure activity in the ocean that you can enjoy during your holiday. And it’s a safe family affair that children upwards of six can do (provided they know how to swim).

Bigger & better, chrysanthemum show is back
Chrysanthemum, the Pride of Chandigarh and over 240 varieties of the flower that blooms only for 15 days during winters gaily welcome us at the Annual Chrysanthemum Show, city’s much sought after event. Moving a couple of steps ahead, the sea of people, including school children, common men to enthusiasts, and the festivity at the Terrace Garden-33 speaks of the event’s popularity, the numerous avid flower lovers and their painstaking efforts to grow this delicate plant.
Organised by the city’s Municipal Corporation, this annual event has got
bigger and better this year.
Beauty Studio
Is your skin really clean?
MODERN life is rife with irony. We go to lengths to keep our breath fresh, use deodorants to keep the body smelling sweet and fresh, slather almost every inch of ourselves in moisturiser, but most of us are walking around with dirty skins!
Silky Affair
The best tussar silk from Bhagalpur, pashmina silk wool from J&K, banarsi silk and cottons from interiors of India, dyed and printed in herbal dyes that do not fade easily. That is what Kanchan Sharma brings. She virtually creates each piece — from weaving to designing to printing to stitching. The collection has suits, sarees, dupattas and dress materials in an interesting blend of traditional weaves and modern designs.
Frame of Life
We know him as the nature guy, the geologist who roams around in hills and valleys not just discovering what lies beneath but also the beauty above. That’s Sanjay Kumbkarni, whose photographs of the interiors of Himachal, mostly of Leh-Ladakh, we are familiar with. This time, he has taken a detour from the usual nature shots and captured human emotions.

Madge throws a tantrum!
MATERIAL girl Madonna has become the centre for another controversy as she allegedly dispersed a yoga class in order to use the room herself. However, the pop-queen’s representatives are baffled by the reports of her ordering the class at a New York gym to vacate the room, so she ‘could practice her moves alone’.
Fab Furniture
A queen bed, a utility cabinet, a futon interspersed with coffee tables, entertainment racks and floating shelves — converts Art Folio-9 from an art gallery to a kind of furniture showroom. But then who’s complaining! After all, when they come from Fabindia’s exclusive factories, each piece is no less than object d’art.
