A fashion fiesta, full on. That's what PEC Fest has turned out to be
Throbbing music, electrifying setting and eye candy for all…that's what one finds in the bustling crowd at the ongoing PEC fest. With a whopping Rs 30-lakh budget that has even crossed the IIT in terms of resources, PEC Fest is one hell of a joyride that city students are taking.

An artist's muse, architect's dream and a landscapist's paradise. Our city, it seems, performs many roles. Le Corbusier's architecture has inspired many a professional and attracted an equal number of people. This time, the innocent victim to its beauty is Gunther
Vogt, a Swiss landscape architect, who comes here for just two days. Let's see what he has to say?

Chandigarh has its own style of doing many things. I always marvel at the sight of genuine road improvement that takes place throughout the year. Potholes are promptly filled, saplings are planted on public roadways and dividers are freshly painted. Malfunctioning traffic signals are repaired before the next harvesting season arrives.

Drama EMI, Saurabh Kadra's debut venture, features Sanjat Dutt, Urmila Matondkar and Arjun Rampal
