Knot so easy
Mona
Claimed Shakespeare centuries back in his famous sonnet True Love. But in today's world of fast food, instant messaging and nano technology does this definition of 'true love' hold ground? Well, certainly not, if you go by the love affairs that spring up to media attention and are lost pretty soon.

 Connected through web
Jasmine Singh
Most people know him as a singer with saccharine sweet voice. While for some he is the dimple cheek, chocolaty hero of the Punjabi film industry. No prizes for guessing, he is Harbhajan Mann. And little did we know he is an ardent ice hockey fan. So, the only way he can update himself on it, when of course he is not abroad is to check the Internet.
Station for animation
Manpriya Khurana
Japheth Alberto Bautista …quite a mouthful! The name could qualify for one of the jargon from the very technical field that he’s in and probably compliments the equally technical knowledge he has of it. In city to interact with students of Frameboxx-34, JAP (as he’s popularly called), creative director at Frameboxx Animation and Visual Effects,

But then Lifestyle traverses, includes and embraces every aspect of life and the invite of World Education Fair with universities from the very ubiquitous USA, Australia, UK, including the ‘relatively unknown’ Denmark and Switzerland, seemed ‘just right’ for experimentation. |
