Climbs & courage
In 1961, my father, Kashi Nath Dutt, was principal of the Government Mens' College, Ludhiana. At that time, women were allowed admission only in the Post Graduate classes. As this restricted their numbers, each female student had a host of male admirers. This was good for our morale and we all considered ourselves to be some sort of beauty queens. During youth festivals and annual plays, we were greatly sought after for the women's roles.

Pick hai, par hit hai!
Love Aaj Kal (Eros Music): You have to hand it to Pritam. Even when he is criticised severely for lifting tunes, he goes on about his task unmindful. Here he does the chore through the “been” played at the opening of Twist (Neeraj Sridhar). It is lock, stock and barrel from the old classic, Tan dole mera man dole.
The excitement is building, as we prepare to celebrate the birth of Lord Krishna. Celebrated across the country-Janmashtami falls on the eighth day after Rakshabandhan and calls for midnight celebrations and bhakti gaan throughout the day. This day being special for the birth of the Lord, it sees various communities and devotees of the deity cook up a transcendental storm in their kitchens.
