3 Mistakes of My Life — Atul Agnihotri simply cannot get enough of Chetan Bhagat
Atul Agnihotri
If Chetan Bhagat has a loyal fan, then it has to be Atul Agnihotri, the actor-turned-director. Not only he religiously reads his books, he takes it pretty seriously and then captures the characters in his reels. And whether it fairs well or not, the director will not leave his loyalty towards the young writer. You need evidence? Here is Atul, traveling with the producers of Salman’s home production London Dreams, gives us one and tells us why.

When it comes to frenzy, there is no dearth of it in this country. Frenzy, which is cheering, frenzy that can turn rowdy, and frenzy that can sway the nation’s opinion at any point of time. This is the same frenzy that can make or break anything. And when this madness is directed at some actor, like making a fan club, you can imagine what it is like.

Ketan Mehta's bilingual Rang Rasiya is courting controversy for the number of sensuous scenes it has, but lead actor Randeep Hooda says it is worth watching despite the passionate portrayals.
"There are no such hot scenes in the film that cannot be watched. It has some kissing scenes and a few semi-nude scenes, but it has been cleared by the censor board," Randeep said.

A musical mix
Piya Piya: This is an unusual album, considering that it cannot be straightaway branded as classical or folk or contemporary or whatever because it is an amalgamation of many styles. That is but natural when you bring together on one platform such myriad singers as Ustad Sultan Khan, Roop Kumar Rathod, Richa Sharma, Harshdeep, Vasu Rampal, Hanif Khan, Tarannum, L. Narayan, Vasant, Pt Bhawani Shankar, Uma Shankar, Pratik and Tochi. In fact, every song is a distinct entity.
Black magic
It has never been out of fashion. But with winter in full swing, black is making its presence felt like never before
It's mystical, bewitching and bold. Sinfully sexy, yet soberly somber. Black signifies darkness, courage and adds charm to the all so-bright wardrobe. Colour of graduation and at the same time of glamour, it's black and it's back.
And with the winter here, the colour itself casts a magical spell, but we wonder is our city ready for the black magic. "Black is an evergreen colour and defines class. It is the only colour that can step in and out of the wardrobe time and again and still never look obsolete. And it's the variety of deep dark tones that is in this season," says Babi
Grewal, fashion designer, Babi's-8. She adds, "Black is a universal colour and it has gained so much importance that people are even going for this colour even for wedding receptions."
Twist in the sale
Just mention the word sale and it's possible to awaken shopaholics even from their graves. Mind it, no exaggeration! The seasonal ritual that makes one have 'more for less' or pay 'less for same' is no less than biannual tradition. What else? Big or small, niche or abstract, hardly any company has had the power to resist. So when logos that would rather be dead before being called people's brand, put up sale, it makes us sit up. Let's explore, what's going on?

The sound of Kabir's music
Words are a two-edged sword. Sometimes they build bridges but at other times they wound one to the quick. Even when we talk to each other, words can build confidence or rip it into shreds. Before words, music was our pathway to every heart. Ancient tribes used its power and the animal kingdom lives in harmony because of it. Every oscillating leaf, the soft splash of a drop, the deafening cymbals of thunder, the whirr of wings, the purr of a tiger, the steady pounding of our hearts or the trumpeting of an elephant, all create powerful beats to which we all sway. Joyful music greets our entry into the world and then escorts us as we slip into oblivion.
