City-based theatreperson Neelam Mansingh's play Little Eyolf has been a huge draw at the Annual Ibsen Festival going on in Delhi.
The Dramatic Art & Design Academy along with the Royal Norwegian Embassy are organising the festival inspired by famous playwright Henrik
Ibsen. Dr Nissar Allana, director, DADA, has a team of Indian Ibsen-experts working closely with him.
This year, the festival, on till December 20, contains three Indian
Ibsen-productions, two international and a cross-professional seminar.
Think Ethiopia, and images that comes flashing to mind are of drought, famine and malnourished children with soulful eyes. Wait, there are good things about the country too. Like this is one country that had never been colonised either by the British or the Italians, who tried several times! There is art too. Well, from what we have seen and heard, the country has a rich heritage, which somehow reminds us of our own Pahari paintings, albeit a lot brighter, devoid of much background details and with faces that belong to tribesmen and women.

Akbar Khan now plans to make a film called Taxi Driver and says it will send out a strong message on terrorism.
"It's the story of a single mother with a 10-year old kid. It will send out a great message against terrorism. It's a subject that's been close to my heart," Khan said.

Many more such rock songs followed. Before you start assuming it is a rock concert or music classes, we are writing about, lets us inform you it's not that.
Winter is here. This year, when the temperature drops, remember that your pooch needs protection from the cold too.
We may think our dogs are tough and they shouldn't be in the house alone, especially when they are considered a large dog breed. Your pet does need regular exercise and plenty of room to grow, but you should also consider the type of weather you will be leaving them in. Cold weather is one of the most dangerous times of the year for your dog.
All set for a romantic movie date with your special someone this weekend? Here's a little reason to worry. Romantic comedies, popularly known as 'romcoms' or 'chick flicks' (because of their appeal to women) can actually wreak havoc on your love life, for they generate unrealistic expectations about real-life relationships, create a warped idea of a perfect partner and oversimplify the process of falling in love, says a recent research.
