Bally Sagoo , in the city, shares notes from the world of music as well as his personal life
For once, Bally Sagoo’s unplugged. So now we come to know him as more than a celebrity DJ, composer, singer; as someone who has had several racist experiences, who was once asked at a club in India not to play Indian music and was approached by the likes of Malkit Singh, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Amitabh Bachchan for collaboration! Delving further, we get to know more, beyond music, "My wife Sita runs a beauty salon in UK and I have a five-year-old daughter Aisha. I will ensure she knows what she needs to know about Punjabi culture," Bally shares some bits from his guarded personal life.

Strictly for men
This festive season, check out the latest that can be added to the men's wardrobe

Science of mixing
When talking about the deejay scene in the country sans the style they sport, which of course has gone weird for good, the scenario has changed in leaps and bounds. Dancing to popular Bollywood numbers, sometimes tweaked and shaken up from their identity to understanding whether to dance on an electronic number or just chill on it, indeed, the deejay music scene has changed. And DJ Chico from Dubai performing at Himani’s Vertigo Lounge Sector-35 is an interesting case of a ‘deejay who has been there done that.’ With almost 20 years of scratching and plucking chords, Chico would want ‘us’ to accept deejays as entertainers who specialise in music.

Fool’s gold
Film: Dus Tola
Cast: Manoj Bajpayee,
Director: Ajoy
A remake of the Malayalam hit Ponmotta Yidunna Tharavu is set in a hamlet and has characters that bear a close resemblance to real life.
