Lament for talent
"There's hardly any difference between an actor's work and a white-collar job. In both cases, you dress up well, reach the office on time and earn your bread by doing monotonous work," comes the critical analysis from television actor Sooraj
Thapar, who was in the city on Saturday, as he compares the television industry of the past and present.
Chick lit
Curtains are passé, choose chic chicks for a traditional yet stylish decor

Available in bamboo, cane, jute, wood, faux wood and aluminum this is a thing of utility that adds style.

Perils of a city day
Dangers lurk in the most unlikely places. Who would think that withdrawing money from an ATM would be a hazardous affair? I read about the unfortunate city resident, who was trapped in a Sector 17 ATM, only to be detained later by the bank officials for damaging the door.

door.
Hooked on a book
A competition in city saw people sharing stories about a book that changed their life
A book is not just a compilation of linguistic acumen, ideas that consume a lifetime, or just a healthy pastime for some. It is also a life changing experience. These wealthy warehouses of knowledge, and best friends forever, are also good stress busters. And all that and more became a reason for celebrating the World Book and Copyrights Day at Browser-8, in association with Big 92.7 FM.
