Mother’s Day Special
Courage under fire
They are the real bravehearts who get no medals or commendations. They swim against the tide, take
on the world to give their kids a better future. This Mother’s Day, Lifestyle
salutes the indefatigable spirit of these women
It takes a lion's heart to lay down your life for your motherland. But it requires more than an indomitable will and indefatigable spirit to be a martyr's wife, who, even while being engulfed in a sea of sadness and extreme loneliness, has to wipe her tears, gather the threads of her life and move ahead. She does it all willingly, for the sake of her kids and dreams she has for them.

Fashion flashback
Devinder Bir Kaur goes back in time and talks of fashion trends heroines set during the sixties and seventies
 The '60s was a period of transition — in more ways than one. While Nargis, Madhubala, Bina Rai, Meena Kumari and Nutan were still around, a new set of heroines had set foot in the Hindi film industry, namely Sadhana, Asha Parekh and Saira Banu. An era was drawing to a close and a new one was emerging. The popular image of the Indian woman represented by the '50s actresses was about to become passé. The three young actresses, Sadhana, Asha and Saira, came to epitomise the image of the '60s. All of them were groomed in the stable of Filmalaya.
HOUSE-full
DJ Hamza was in the city for a performance
For the layman, music is music, soothing to the ears…nothing beyond it. But electronic,
