“THEY say age should not matter unless you are a cheese.” And youngsters today are sure following this advice, when it comes to friendship. As their mantra for dosti and yaari sets itself free from the marked territory of boy and girl notion and young and old fixation.

AS we spin the ball of life, friendship holds different meaning for different people. Where some believe it to be a way of life, others feel friends are the world and then there are some for whom friendship means loads of fun and dhamaal. Photos by Vinay Malik

Shall We Dance?
Tele reality shows have unleashed some kind of a dance fever in the city
Neha Walia
Awestruck by Madhuri’s latkas and jhatkas? Now it’s your turn to put on the dancing shoes. Having caught people’s fancy, it’s the new dance forms like jive, cha-cha and waltz that are taking city folks beyond the realm of party dancing. People are swinging to the tunes of cha cha cha, doing Jazz ballets, gyrating to the beats of salsa, roomba and samba, grooving on hip hop and Bollywood thumkas. The dance fever is on the rise and we are all ready to boogie.

n I am 29, going through life with a chip on my shoulder. I view everything in life from a negative perspective. Whatever the situation, I am never happy. I am always looking at what could have been instead of what it is.

Growing up in Kolkata, there are several things one takes for granted. For example, if you are out for morning walks and there is a nice, plum hibiscus reposing on a bush on the way – you pluck it, for flowers have no ownership.
