Making a point
No
retirement issues. No worries about what next in life. Everything is
planned in chronological order. And if all goes well, Punjabi singer
Jasbir Jassi has a line up of 'what to do' for the next 10 years. "I want to do something substantial in life. In future, I would
be doing many things such as research work on Gurbani, which
would help me with an album. I would like to conduct an in-depth study
on Punjabi poetry and Sufism, make a documentary on it and do some
different Punjabi movies," shares Jassi, who will perform at Jassi
Live for Jatta Ayi Baisakhi, an event organised by Cine Valley
Entertainment in association with Chandigarh Tourism. With the future
secure, we shift the spotlight to the present. So what is keeping the
singer of Dil Le Gayi Kudi Gujarat Di fame busy? Acting?
"What is wrong in it? I have always wanted to be an actor. I have
done theatre with Harpal Tiwana.
Identity quest
In the city to promote her latest album and perform at Black Magic, Shibani Kashyap gets candid…
After 15 years in the
industry, a few successes and failures, recognition for work and at
times struggle for identity, the resolve remains the same. It got a
boost during the 1990s, when the crop of independent singers Baba
Sehgal, Alisha Chinoy, Mehnaz came up. It didn't shake even when
music albums failed to earn money. Shabani Kashyap, irrespective of the
times, trend and tunes, has stuck to her resolution: Identity for
independent music.

So, another temptation has come in the form of the jewellery show organised by the BK Jagan & Company at Sector-28.
