Nanis & nano kids
It’s give and take. The young ones receive tradition from the grandparents. And the senior relatives get
tech wisdom in return. On Grandparents’ Day, a fresh peek into the age-old equation…
They say genes skip generations. Maybe that’s why grandparents
find their grandchildren so likeable. A bliss to hang around with,
grandparents are one species that never complains or censures and even
takes on the added responsibility of raising their third generation with
a smile. We find out what makes the wrinkled faces (ah, not so creased
nowadays!) a hit with their geeky grandkids.

Fun and the Republic
It’s patriotism mega size. Two minutes of the National Anthem in one of the multiplexes before three hours of fun. Do the city cine-goers respond to this track as a mere reflex action or are they really moved?

feels the pulse…
You needn't wait for August 15 or January 26 to show your patriotic jasba.
It can be done right now, all it needs is---a show. Buy a ticket at Fun Republic
for any flick, step into the audi and there, on the big screen comes alive the
images of our brave soldiers of Kargil, with the National Anthem played in the
backdrop in the instrumental form.

Service in a man's World
A large number of women in our generation have proven wrong that -"men know best."
My emphatic repudiation of this old adage sometimes loses its wind. Although,
the feminists of this city might hate me for saying this - there are some things
best left to men.

Ash Wednesday
Watchable
A Wednesday: A Wednesday, a compelling account of the scars left by terrorist strikes on the common man’s psyche. It was a Wednesday that Mumbai police commissioner Prakash Rathod (Anupam Kher) would never forget. An unnamed person (Naseeruddin Shah) calls him, demanding the release of four militants in lieu of information about bombs that the man has planted in various parts of the city.
Inviting innovation
“Theatre in India should be made vibrant and innovative if it has to survive. It has lost its credibility at the hands of its incompetent practitioners. With the help of the new crop of ‘professionals’ emerging from institutionalised drama schools, both in the private or government sector, theatre will touch new heights in perfection and popularity,” professes Satyabrata Rout, the foremost disciple of the legendary thespian B.V. Karanth.
Sapru honoured
Subhash Sapru, a Haryana PRO, is a self-taught photographer who has now become an associate of the Photographic Society of America in India.
