Neha Walia and Manpriya Khurana give you a 360-degree round up on how Chandigarh scores on the party-meter
Get the party Started
Chandigarh is riding high as a cosmopolitan society. Neck deep in luxuries, lavish lifestyle, growing corporate status, high spirits and a generation that believes in working hard and partying hard. The young love letting down their hair till the wee hours and the nightlife in the city is actually gearing up now. No more a city of tired and retired, Chandigarh has come of age with discs, pubs, lounges and bars jazzing up nocturnal activity.

I don’t wanna rock DJ!

With a delicacy of phrase, emotional depth, immaculate tallafuz, adaygi, the ghazal is undoubtedly ultimate in lyrical expression and it's the soothing musical treatment that transforms it into a soulful classic melodic composition," says the Mumbai based young ghazal maestro, Jaswinder Singh. Born and brought up in Mumbai, Jaswinder the disciple son of eminent Bollywood music director Kuldip Singh was at the Chandigarh Press Club-27 for the promotion of his third ghazal album Ishq Nahin Asaan.

Comic showdown
UTV's Spotboy seems to have reached a dead-end with this film. After giving us some really wonderful films (Dev D, Oye Lucky Lucky Oye), they bring to us this disappointing, completely inept and unentertaining parody called Aagey Se Right.

Academician and poetess Arwinder released an English translation of Amrita Pritam and Imroze's love letters
Qaasid ke aate- aate, khat ek aur likh rakhun/ Mein jaanta hoon, Jo voh likhenge jawaab mein…" the couplet by Mirza Ghalib is a veritable reflection of a process of unchained exchange of love letters between the legendary litterateur Amrita Pritam and painting maestro Imroze, setting off a chain reaction of immortal love. Far from the madding crowd of worldly pursuits and dedicated to the true affection and literary love both Amrita and Imroze refused to accept the shackles of taboos and traditions.

Sense & sensibility
On the eve of Panjab University elections, some of the city colleges turned into a battleground. Students went on a rampage, damaging college property and building, staging a pitched battle armed with soda bottles and glasses. We as a nation vent our anger and frustration at public property. Buses are set on fire when someone gets run over. Windows are broken when disgruntled employees stage protest. Hospital labs are ransacked when there is a mishap with a patient.
