The love affair is relatively old now. But, a reminder of the pleasant acquaintance brings a glint in his eyes and changes the facial contours from straight to a little impish. And the smile just widens, refusing to let go of Brett Lee's face. It casts a spell, reminiscent of how much he fell in love with the music, the food, the people and the ambience on his first visit to India in 2004.

French photographer Olivier Culmann's pictures capture expressions of people watching television
This is in honour of something that hasn't been given its due share of respect. Condemned, criticized, censured…yet the poor thing has been serving mankind. And look at the injustice; those who spend maximum time in its company call it the idiot box!
Old blends with new
Gypsy Urf Khana Badosh explores human psyche
The old civilization ushering in the modern era had many contradictory attributes, at least for Russian author Alexander Pushkin. And one can find its reflection in his classic creation Gypsy, sculpted while he was in forced exile, Gypsy is also considered a romantic narrative poem of high order for its attempt to grapple with real issues of human psychology and morality. The author recovers an explosive truth that people who live away from the modern and advanced civilization relish their life in harmony with nature. The classic was translated into Punjabi by octogenarian Karanjit Singh for Raduga Publications, Moscow, and distributed on a large-scale alongwith Russian literature during the disintegration of USSR.
