It’s less Masti this time
Empty stands, energetic moves and a little eccentricity sums up the IPL match this time
Expect the unexpected or let's just put it straight, expect the expected! Kings XI Punjab and 'oh what a flop show performance' are doing everything that is expected and a wee bit unexpected. It's okay, after all it's a game not everyone can win. How about winning for once, just for your fans?

Down memory lane
Atul Kumar’s The Blue Mug had the audiences hooked onto the 75-minute performance by noted artistes
It is hard to live without them, and sometimes it is a pain to have them around. Sometimes they come gushing through from a bleak opening, and sometimes it is hard to conjure them up. Memories, no matter how much one tries to segregate the bad from the good, try and slot them in different compartments, come calling whenever they have to, whether one summons them or not.

Nature’s best
Themes may vary, so may mediums, style of art and source of inspiration, but the one subject that graduates every artist to the next level is somewhat universal. Be it the intrinsic subject of miniature paintings, landscapes by Paramjit Singh, or the works on display at Punjab Kala Bhawan by Gurleen Kaur and Darshan Dingh, nature has been given ample space on canvas.
Gurleen and Darshan have projected Divine Inspiration, nature's bond with man and spirituality in their works. The sketches by Darshan Singh were initially done without
colours, with a black ink pen directly on the drawing sheet. Only of late, colours have been added, "Because I thought, depiction of nature can't be done without
colours," says Darshan.

Fools on a platter
I think fools are one of the most appropriately named desserts! One goes madly foolish just looking at them!
— Anonymous
All Fool's Day just passed us by so I cant resist talking about fools.....the 'fools' we love! Ridiculous as it may sound, fools are desserts where fresh fruit and cream are enhanced and given a face-lift, resulting in a gorgeous looking dream! To someone uninitiated, the name would be mind-boggling! Imagine being asked, "Would you care for a fool?" Surely you would reply," No thanks, I'd rather settle for someone wise...err....more cerebral!"
Egypt on menu
If you can't dance like an Egyptian, then at least eat like one. Well, that was the point students of the School of Hospitality and Resort Management Singapore (India Campus) had in mind while organising the Egyptian Food Festival on their campus. And their guide to the culinary tour was an Egyptian chef who helped them prepare a lavish four-course menu based on Egyptian ingredients and recipes.
Crafting success
The Delhi-based Rashtriya Sanskriti Samaj Avom Sabhyata is organising an exhibition of works by craftpersons from various parts of the country.
The handloom items on display here are block-printed material from Rajasthan, chikan fabric,
