He is an uninterrupted stream. This Bulla da Banda hasn’t yet chalked
out his course.
Curry Soul
Since he’s crooned chart-topper Bulla ki jana main kaun (God, I know not who I am!), the whole country knows who he is! Every Indian teenager worth his crackling voice attempts mastering that perfect barritone. Our Punju brotheren can’t help flaunting about this guitar-playing (yet raggi-looking!) sufi sensation. Half a dozen Bollywood filmmakers have tried getting him to sing their compositions.

Music on the move
Technology is our new-age godsend. Though the trend of technology taking over our lives started off as a trickle, it’s turned into a flood now. No wonder, the hi-society celebration associated with a music album’s release has happily turned into a victim of the music industry’s quest for technology.
Amol Palekar’s passion for theatre and films
is unparalleled
Paheli demystified
After a few futile attempts to talk to Amol Palekar in December when he came to Delhi on the jury of META, we had almost forgotten about him, until an urgent message from Neelam Mansingh this morning tells us that the veteran actor, director and theatre activist is in town and ready to have a tete-a-tete with the local Press. When we reach the venue on time, he is already there waiting for us, fresh and energetic even after a gruelling session with the students of Indian Theatre Department at Panjab University.

Sunny days mean outdoor fun but before you step out, equip yourself to beat the UV rays
Sunsational!
Sun is shining bright and harsh. You are happily sipping chilled fresh juices, sporting fun dresses, slipping into comfy flip-flops, and yes, biting into juicy fruits. Now all this fun in the sun is good as long as the realisation of the havoc the sun is causing to your skin doesn’t strike you. And once it does, what do you do? Lock yourself indoors till the grinning sun mellows down? Nope, venture out carefree and say goodbye to sun worries, suggest experts.
Some common irritants that can ruin your summer
Allergy Alert
Warm breezy noons, bright harsh sun, layers of sunblock, blooming flowers, dips in the swimming pool, lawn mowing session, picnics in the neighbourhood park and much more. That’s summer for you.

For,you can deal with these irritants and step out confidently.
Guru Mantra
It took him three long years to finally visit the city but Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudeva is glad he could make it to the Land of Gurus. But guess what is his biggest apprehensions? “In the South I am quite distinctive because of my flowing beard and turban, but here I may get lost in the crowd!” he starts the press meet on a jocular note.

Telly Tales
 To daughters, with love
The doting, dutiful & devoted daughters are back & dominating primetime!
Our telly is women-centric, whether we admit it or not. We have highly emotional mothers and baas who believe in tyaag, the oh-so-bitchy other women who can only think of devious plans, the submissive, yet sometimes commanding bahu, the slinky brigade of bhabhis, devranis and jethanis who sport flimsy outfits — it sure is a woman’s world!
 Spice up
Crowning Glory
During summer, when the weather is hot and dry, one needs to protect the
hair. Excessive exposure to the summer heat can make the hair brittle.
It may also acquire split ends. Swimming in an outdoor pool also results
in dryness. Chlorine in the water and the salt in seawater can make the
hair dry, matted and dull. So wash it before and after a swim.
