A
nation that dances together, stays together
We, as a country, are in the
midst of a dance revolution. Put on your dancing shoes & be part of
it!
SIX or sixty, this one is for all. Set the volume of your music system
slightly high. Put on your dance shoes. And let your carefree attitude
and dancing skills take over. Come on! You can’t be surprised at this
suggestion, for, this is what the entire country is doing. Some have
enrolled in classes in the neighbourhood, some are dancing on TV and
taking home loads of money, some are swinging in the virtual world and
some are rehearsing hard to perform on their D-Day.
Man
of Quotes
Journalist
& author Harbans Singh Virdi is back with a new book
He is an intellectual among Sardars, and a Sardar among intellectuals
— and if you think this is "quite a quote", pick up Harbans
Singh Virdi’s latest book for more. That’s right! After scripting
his own history by writing six books on myriad themes right from sports
to battles, the author-cum-journalist has opened a new chapter in his
life by penning down Quite a Quote. The book was unveiled at
Chandigarh Press Club Thursday afternoon.
 Life is
all ha-ha hee-hee?
Actor Shital Maulik & Sandeep Anand come to town to promote their
serial Sun Yaar Chill Maar
They both cannot relate to the characters they are essaying in Sun
Yaar Chill Maar, but that does not make acting any less exciting for
Sandeep Anand and Shital Maulik. As Piddy, Sandeep portrays the role of
this Toronto-born, Ropar-raised boy who wants to cut a rap album and win
the Grammy and Shital Maulik is the stylish yet dumb Diya who aspires to
be the Miss World.
Passion,
fun & energy
It was not the element of
fun but passion that drew Yogendra Bhangley towards the art of making
animation figures. An electronics and telecommunications engineer, it
was not easy for him to chase his dreams. One, India did not have any
training institutes for the art and two, Yogendra didn’t have enough
resources to join a course abroad.
Youth
speak
Fair Selection
 DESPITE an increase in the job opportunities in various
fields and lucrative pay packages in the private sector, the craze for
civil services among the youth has not gone down. Every state government
fills the posts of civil services of the state on the basis of annual
competitive exams conducted by the State Public Service Commission. But,
in Punjab no such competitive exam has been conducted since 1998 by the
Punjab Public Service Commission.
Sidelanes
Trick or tweak?
When I came to Chandigarh in 1962, it was a one horse town dominated
by Corbusier’s architecture, clerks, bureaucrats and the surrounding
flora and fauna. Pigeons lived and bred in small pigeonhole windows and
only small shops provided our daily needs. We skipped classes at the
university and ate tikkis and chana bhaturas off rehris just outside the
gate.
Expressions...
 This one exhibition is very
close to the hearts of third year students of the Government College of
Art. It does not just bring out their creativity, but also gives them an
opportunity to re-live those fun-filled moments they had during their
college trip to various states. The exhibition inaugurated on Thursday showcases works of 56 students—different versions of the same topics like scenes from the beaches of Goa, figures from Khajoraho temples, Charminar in different angles and scenes from Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad.
