Basant
Basant or not, the sartorial style of some turbanators of the
tricity embodies all its myriad hues, writes Chetna
Keer Banerjee
Bandhan and Bandhini
Odhni rangi de lalariya…
Well, these lyrics sung by Lata Mangeshkar have a different import
for Daljit Singh, president, strategy and organisational development,
Fortis Healthcare. For, he needs no lalariya to dye his turban, he has a
home-grown designer to do the job. Daljit's bandhan with his better half
is also that of bandhini.

Sallu's back |
He is back with an extended fleet of bouncers. Attitude in place, a hatke style (check pants) and ‘don't disturb me’ written all over, Salman Khan walked into Taj-17 on Saturday. He is in the city to shoot for Vipul Shah's

State of the 'Art'
Jasmine Singh
A good-looking struggling youngster does the perfect balancing act between traditions and modernity, an NRI couples' desperate measures to get their desi phoren daughter to like Punjab, youngsters caught while immigrating to Canada, family of four enjoys makki di roti sarson da saag, a phoren returned 'heroine' meandering through the green fields wearing a lost look, panchayat being held under the old banyan tree…..enough people.
Ode to Vancouver

Mele.

'Smoking is injurious to health' or 'female foeticide is a sin' or 'fight terrorism', numerous diverse issues and so are the mediums to reach out to people. Documentaries, social advertisements, street plays, books, sermons and what not, all have been optimally utilized. But then why do these evils still exist?

People for the Dogs
Sreedhara Bhasin
My gourmand uncle often quipped that we live to eat and not the other way round. I am now reflecting on whether we are for the animals, dogs, to be specific or are the dogs for us. Please – I am no dog hater. Although, I do find it extremely annoying when I step into someone’s home and a huge beast puts its paws on my shoulders and sniffs my eyelashes.

Mona
What tops the Bollywood beginner's must-have list? Talent, may be, but
kismat connection, definitely. In the world where fame feeds on
friendship, rapacity overrules righteousness and glory comes at the cost
of gentleness, being a selfish, manipulative soul is your ticket to
stardom.

A boring fare
Sevanand Gaddala
Bedtime Stories has a workable formula, but falls far short of the movie it could have been. Adam Sandler returns to play a boy-man and does nothing to make us connect with him or care for the movie he stars in.
