All work & no play?
I haven’t been to the gym for the sixth consecutive day now. As I struggled to button up my jeans, I noticed that, for once, laziness or lack of desire was not the reason. I haven’t been sweating over a treadmill due to my hectic routine. Working out isn’t the only thing that has taken the back seat; it goes for laundry and eating. Time restrictions are something that we all deal with.

Got something to say, let your T-shirt do the talking
Don’t we all want to make a statement- loud, screechy, weird, funny, sarcastic, humble ones? One out of the not too many options is the message T -shirts. While India’s tennis star Sania Mirza chose to say things like ‘Well behaved women seldom make history, ‘You can either argue with me or be wrong’, there are so many others who are succumbing to the temptation of message T-shirts.

Aussieland Unravelled
Australia is a great place where kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, ostriches, budgies and the deadliest snakes on earth are abound. DIL’s brother worked there and certified it as one of the friendliest places on earth. Having many ancestors who were deported when not accepted by the parent country, (a euphemism for the British Empire) the Aussie’s have a wild sense of humour, great courage and a down to earth attitude, which accepts all creatures great and small in all colours- pink, white, yellow, black, brown and combinations of all
these. Shane Warne epitomises the Aussie attitude.
Collectors’ Pride
Easy on pocket, high on sentimental value & carrying the artist’s signature — sketches emerge as
an art investment
Collecting a piece of signature painting has become way beyond the means of most of us. A recent exhibition in the city showed how our homegrown artists like Madan Lal, Viren Tanwar, Brahm Prakash, Shiv Singh, Malkit Singh have grown in their chosen field, making us proud and sad at the same time. Sad, because when we saw the price tags of their works that read something like Rs 2 lakh and above, we realised that we have actually lost them to national and international buyers.

Plaguing our art scene is lack of raw materials, tell city artists
THAT Chandigarh has no buyers for art is an old grievance. Groups were formed, galleries mushroomed, exhibitions were organised periodically, budding artists blossomed into international fame, but the art scene remained exactly where it was. Exhibition venues still look deserted after the inaugural day; Government College of Art pass-outs still eye Delhi galleries for striking that dream deal.
Pure Beats
Sometimes the award and its recipient mutually reciprocate to the delight of distinction when a prestigious honour is bestowed upon the equally illustrious and deserving beneficiary.

This Begum is a man!
