B-town bowled over!
Celebrities from Bollywood flooded Chandigarh for the Indo-Pak semifinal 

The moment finally came…and not a soul missed it. The city wore a somewhat deserted look, no prizes for guessing why! The epicentre of discussion revolved only around one thing, we still aren't giving away any prizes for the guess. Cricketers poured in numbers and so did stars of the B-Town. And if you think they managed to drift our attention away from the men in blue and green, well they couldn't!

The fun game
Is a cricket match all about winning or losing? Well, yes it is! We wanted to add a small feature. A cricket match between India and Pakistan is also about exchanging interesting, hilarious online one-liners. Here are some, which did the rounds for quiet  a while.

Drama-tic turn
Manoj Joshi, veteran actor and theatre personality, staged his play Chanakya in Chandigarh
Theatre is a must for every actor," feels Manoj Joshi, a veteran actor and theatre personality, who is in town to showcase his play Chanakya. "Theatre groomed me, but the best thing about it is that one gets to learn something new everyday," he says. However, Joshi always wanted to be a painter. As a result he opted for the school of arts over NSD, but as they say destiny chooses you rather than the other way round. Fate had some other plans for him. His fascination for theatre made him realise his final destination.

Its been said over and over: "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail."

E-reading is catching up 

If you can't find a particular book at your favourite bookshop, join the growing league of net savvy Indians who buy their reading stuff on the Internet and get discount and free delivery right at their doorstep. "Until a few years back, getting a particular title was a hectic job involving a visit to at least four to five bookstores that were far from home.

Beat it 
Singer: Mohit Chauhan,Shekhar Ravjiani,Shurti Pathak

These singers are a deadly combination of music in Bollywood. I fell in love with the song the moment I heard it. It pulls me out from my own soul and places me somewhere in eternity. It might sound an exaggeration, but I love this song beyond everything. The kind of subtle Punjabi and Hindi it uses makes the song hummable. I can listen to it 20 times a day without getting bored. The lyrics are another important thing about this song. Every word every beat is well thought of. Mohit Chauhan's voice is magic and Shruti Pathak has done a tremendous job. The movie can be a disaster, but the song scores! (As told to Jasmine Singh)
