The Pilgrimage
A revolutionary soul, who has come to this world to spread the joy of music — this is Kailash Kher for you
Call him a popular Sufi singer, and he flashes his trademark dimpled smile. Call him an entertainer, and he might just hum
few lines from his private album. Call him someone who is now an international figure, and he is likely to shrug it off by calling it a commercial requirement. Call him a wandering soul who has found solace in music, and see the intensity in his eyes going a shade deeper. The face change contours, and hear the ruffling in his soul— ‘That’s what I am. I am a revolutionary soul, who has come to this world to spread the message of music. This is the mission of my life. And I am nothing without it,” words cascade from the deepest layers of Kailash Kher’s heart.

The bandit guy who bagged the Best Actress award will not settle for
bread-omlette kind of roles
Ok guys, rack your brains a little.
Remember Bandit Queen? No there’s no sequel being planned to the
movie, but the tall, athletic actor with trademark long tresses? Take
another shot, Is raat ki subah nahin, Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya?
There you are! The very same actor, Nirmal Pandey, was in town for
multiple reasons, announce his project, take auditions, interact with
media let’s begin with the first.
"When the film and the role was
narrated to me over the phone, I liked it immediately." He’s
talking of the venture Kirpan—The Honour. The film is an attempt
to re look at the Sikh history, especially before 1857. "These are the kind of
cinema I want to do and not bread-omlette kind of roles that you just gorge on
before setting out for day’s work."
The urban gypsy
Want to see the world? Take a journey through the pages of travelogues and please your
wanderer soul
Now, traveling doesn't just mean fine looking London on the River Thames or New York's Hudson Bay. How many cities are there in the world? Don't bother finding out. How many can you see, visit, keep pace or catch up with? Given up? Travelogues will come to the rescue, take you places, transport you back at the snap of a finger, flip of a page. First person account of
'city-ites' seems to go 'something like this'.
Read between lines
The heavy rush in city libraries prove that reading is not a dying art, yet
Everything's welcome. You don't have to make choices when you have almost two months of summer vacations, ample free time and no botherations except for a little holiday homework, if at all it is. So, pick as you wish, chiclit, popcorn, romantic, mystery, history, poetry, adventure, literature, autobiographies…you have time. Spend time in libraries, update yourself, read and relax …you have time. Need more inspiration? Visit libraries, see people glued to books, reading one after another and take a look at the data, which shows libraries have witnessed a double-fold increase in the past two months. This would suffice. Seems everyone's visiting libraries and reading.
Joy ride
 Chris
Dittmann, a young German adventurer, is on a biking escapade to the Himalayas
For me this is life!", said Chris Dittmann, a young German adventurer on holiday in India. " Cycling on the long winding roads in the Himalaya I get to see the beautiful country and I get to meet the simple village people. For me it's the only way to see the country. And I love the mountains".
Chris was on the long and winding road from Dehra Dun to Shimla and on to
Manali. "By the time I get to Manali, the high passes should be open and I will go
Leh". That would be a demanding ride for it means crossing passes 16,000 and 17,000 feet above sea level. The days can be warm but night temperatures can be well below zero. The lack of oxygen is ever present and cycling would be a demanding exercise. I told this to Chris.

BODY wise
Weighty issue
Weight loss is so much easier for men than for women. Some women-unfriendly weight-loss factors make it much tougher for women to lose weight. And knowing that it’s not just you or your lack of willpower but actual changes within your body that are making weight loss difficult can sometimes be the motivation enough to regain control. Weight loss might be tough but never impossible. Hard work always pays and consistency is the key to successful weight loss. And, a better understanding of these factors can help women compensate for them.
