Woh mile
The star cast of Tum Mile descends on the city
Friday the thirteenth brought none else but the cast of Tum Mile - Emraan Hashmi, Soha Ali Khan and its director Kunal Deshmukh to the city. Claimed to be Bollywood's first natural disaster film, it uses the flood fury of July 25 as the backdrop for a love story.
Director's cut
Ten days, 10 cities. Young Kunal is busy promoting his film. With successful Jannat to his credit, Kunal is comfortable in his own genre. "My films address today's youth and their priorities."

A big fat Asian wedding
An extravagant display of everything—right from invitation cards, wedding location, trousseau, jewellery, bags, footwear, and the doli (read a brand new sparkling SUV or MUV), Indian weddings are all about flamboyance. The grander the better. Wedding Asia 09 at Taj on Friday takes after this lavishness and luxury. And, if you find yourself amidst too much bling and shimmer, just remember shimmer is a 'must have' for any wedding. So, we move on, from one stall to the other, from one designer collection to another, from one jewellery brand to the other, crossing many enthusiastic buyers, hoping to strike best deals.

Win(e)some
Bring on the plum puddings, the sparkling decorations and the mouth-watering treats, as the festive season is here! However, amidst all of this festivity there is always the onerous task of deciding what to take along for your host at the Christmas lunch, or what gift to send out to your business associates and well wishers, or even what to serve to guests who drop by for a slice of your home-made plum-cake.

Flashback fun
Childhood memories are the most precious ones. Some people and places play a pivotal role in creating them. City celebs share some anecdotes from their wonder years
A childhood is what anyone wants to remember of it. It leaves behind no fossils, except perhaps in fiction.— Carol Shields It was a time when we believed in tooth fairies and dreaded the green goblin. But it was also the time when we had careless fun while chasing the butterflies.

Painting a happy picture
There probably can’t be a better opportunity than this for underprivileged children to discover their talent. Hold on! This one’s not claiming to bring a sea change in their lives but aims at making a sincere attempt to make life better. Some 1,500 children from slum areas in the city, six hours of activity that includes a painting workshop, skit by special children, seminar on personal hygiene and much more will happen as part of Balakalakar, an event to be held on Sunday, organised by AIESEC-Chandigrah.
