Paint the town RED!
Anandita Gupta
 NOW, don’t we all know that ‘birds of a feather flock together?’ So friends, it comes as a natural corollary then, that lil’ birdies on the fashion circuit flock, oops… flaunt together. Of course, fashion’s all about being different, blah blah… But then, there’s something called the ‘fashion idiom.’ And when fashionholics end up following it too fanatically, what we
lsand up with is the Oscars. Yup, the internationally acclaimed event seemed like an ode to red!
Right from Katherine Heigl, Helen Mirren, Miley Cyrus, and Julie Christie to Ruby Dee, Anne Hathaway and Heidi Klum, all walked the red carpet in full-volume red
gowns.

Does that leave you wishing for a chance to be on the other side of the mike? Well, stop wishing and get working. For, your dream of being an RJ is just a click away.
Reese’s dirty lil’ secret
Unlike her Hollywood contemporaries, it’s not excess partying or shopping that gives Reese Witherspoon a rush — it’s garbage. The Oscar-winner admitted her dirty little secret to US TV talk show host Ellen
DeGeneres, insisting that she makes sure her garbage is never
overflowing or out
of control.

has to offer to all
you bachelors enjoying singular existence, lest extra becomes integral
FEMMES always have the last word in an argument. Whatever you say after that leads to another argument. And, if that’s the only reason why you have been staying away from the “unfairness of the fair sex”, here’s another motive for you to act like a man and keep off:

 A glassy affair
Anandita Gupta
It’s all a hot, shapeless mass to begin with. Within hours, it turns into a fascinating range of tastefully crafted glass installations — wonderful wine glasses, eclectic vases and curios, 30-feet chandeliers and spectacular sculptures. The medium here is molten glass and it takes on scintillating shapes in Gautam Seth’s dexterous hands.

IF you have been saying bottoms up to the golden elixir swirling in sparkling cut-glass without really letting it raise your spirits, it’s time for you to say cheers to a whole new fashion of drinking.

Red boots & bare feet
Joyshri Lobo
I WORE the thin-soled, cheap red boots that were used for tennis at Bangalore till a fall over tangled laces led to a mess of fractures, coagulated blood and
odema. So another red pair with stiff sidewalls was bought.
Win(e)some Nicole
Nicole Kidman’s representative Catherine Olim has slammed reports that the four-month pregnant actress was drinking alcohol backstage at the Oscars, saying she would never be so careless with her health. Cindy Adams from New York Post claimed that Kidman was having wine at the awards ceremony and this has upset
Olim. Reacting to the report, Olim said: “Nicole Kidman most certainly did not drink white wine or any other alcoholic beverage backstage. She had water and lemon zinger tea. That’s it. I know I was there with her. “I cannot remember that last time that Cindy Adams got anything right. She’s an idiot, and you can quote me.”

Art from the neighbourhood
Rich & traditional, Chinese art captures the hearts &
minds of city art lovers
Parbina Rashid
THE recent exhibition at the Panjab University Fine Art Gallery gave us an opportunity to see Chinese art in the form of creative photography. Organised by the Indo-China Friendship Association it saw many known and unknown artistes from different provinces capture the art scene of China. And it was this that made us, onlookers, curious to learn more about Chinese traditional art. For, when it comes to Chinese art, our imagination stretches only to the ferocious-looking dragons painted on the walls of Chinese eateries in the city.

Soaring High
Vibrant colours, new medium & a dream to fly high, Sadhna’s latest works set the mood of celebration
AS a woman she finds solace in nature and as an artist she likes to freeze it on the canvas. Sadhna Sangar is known for her watercolour and ink drawings on nature, where colours dominate over forms that speak of the spontaneity in her brush strokes. With her latest series, which she is taking to Delhi for an exhibition, one gets to see fresh additions — birds and fishes, metaphors for her own yearning to soar high against all odds.
