Friday-to-Friday Art
Digital billboards have swept away the old posters and mouse clicks have replaced brush strokes. We speak to the men behind it and trace the journey from the handmade charm of Indian cinema to the slick Bollywood of today
A TWENTY-FEET handsome Rajesh Khanna with an equally grandeur charming
Mumtaz graced the skyline in hope for a blockbuster. Few men climbed on
ladders looked like dwarfs as they struggled to find a right place for
these stars. A handful looked on with pride as they had succeeded in
painting the town in shades of Bollywood.
Sudesh Bhosle
Literary Gem
Many traits of intrinsic intellect and aesthetic potential meet in the serene and sober persona of Dr
Indu Bali, an academician, administrator, litterateur and above all a crusader of woman empowerment.
Love brawls
The couples going public irk lonesome singles too!
Animosity is blooming amidst lovely flowers in the gardens of affection. Any
day, drive down to the Leisure Valley-10, Physical Fitness Trials-10 or even the
Bougainvillea Garden-3. And, you find verbal duel between the pairs and the
all-time gaping loners. More often than not, the verbal spats threaten to turn
into boisterous brawls as both the couples and the intruders refuse to relent.
What’s in a number?
Actually, quite a lot or that’s what city residents who spend lakhs of rupees to get VIP numbers, feel
It is a number game. Talk of numbers and the first numbers which come to
your mind are either mobile or car numbers. When it comes to showing off their
cars, nobody can beat the Chandigarhians. City youngsters driving cars with
fancy numbers, speaks volumes of the status of the city beautiful. To show off
their high status, they mostly buy luxury cars.
Puneet
Spirit of sporting
Sportswear may have been designed for grounds & gyms, but their comfy & style quotient makes them fit as casual wear too, say city youngsters
THEY are cool, stylish, hip and comfortable, all at the same time. You fancy
that they were the uniform in your office. We see the likes of Wayne Rooney,
Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova or our very own Yuvraj Singh sport them.
Wondering what are we talking about?
Face the music
What’s being bajaaoed at the discotheques — trance, hip-hop, Punjabi or filmy? We find out
They danced to Daler Mehndi’s Main dardi rab rab, and now it’s not
unusual to find them swaying to just about every track, English, Hindi, Punjabi
or French! By now, all underground Punjabi scores rule the dance floor.

I am a 26 years old girl and
have just finished a degree in medicine and currently doing internship.
But I am unhappy with what I am doing. I would love to change my line of
career but no one in my family will allow it. They feel that after
having invested years studying medicine how can I ever dream of changing
my profession.
Meet the failures!
THEY have been struggling in class five for the past 22 years now. Academic failure has resulted in their choosing fields like black marketing of movie tickets as a profession! And, now these grown-ups five-graders are all set to help you crack questions on Filmy’s Kya Aap Paanchvi Fail Champu Hain? Tells a channel source, “These ‘kids’ bear no resemblance to the children on Kya Aap Panchvi Paas…”
Just rumours
Hotel heiress Paris Hilton has shot down pregnancy rumours, insisting there is no truth to them. The 27-year-old socialite’s representative said that reports are “completely false.” Rumours started off when she wore a green satin slip-dress to Crown Bar in Los Angeles.
Nannies too!
It’s not just Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s adopted kids who are multi-racial, but also their nannies. The celebrity couple has adopted Maddox, 6, from Cambodia, Zahara, 2, from Ethiopia and Pax, 4, from Vietnam.
Return of RGV?
Sarkar Raj
Watchable
HE once redefined the Mob genre. Satya, Company and Sarkar demonstrated his abilities to pull in the audiences in droves. Somewhere down the line, Ram Gopal Varma (RGV, as he is popularly known) lost his touch. Nishabd, Darling, Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag and Go made us chant, ”Go away from our lives, RGV”.
