Pump up the MUSIC
Summer of 69 is fine but wouldn't you rather reserve Bryan Adams for a reunion party and plug onto someone more motivating while pumping iron in the gym? Even the diehard romantics would keep aside rosy Valentine numbers. Remix is more of a club thing rather than a gym thing while most of us love Jazzy B but he's better suited to wedding videos. Huh! What do you play while working out? A couple of complaints into the unsuitable gym music had us wondering, what's actually playing in the fitness centres across the
Tricity.
In pursuit of perfection
Dona Ganguly, one of the leading danseuse of Odissi today, took to learning dance in her childhood just like all other Bengali children. She dabbled in many classical dance forms from a tender age of three. It was after meeting her Guru Kelucharan Mahapatra that she chose Odissi to be her forte.
She trained under Mahapatra for 25 years until his death in 2004. Dona is still a learner. She teaches dance at her school Diksha Manjari and travels around to give performances. "Dance is my passion," shares Dona. She was in Chandigarh for Mango
Mela, Pinjore, Panchkula.

Toxic competition
Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds says he dislikes working with competitive actors because they make movie sets "toxic".
"It's toxic on a set when you're competitive with other actors. Whenever I've worked with another actor who's been competitive, usually nine times out of 10 it has backfired on them - they've had a really unsatisfying experience. A film
is so collaborative. It's the sum of its parts," he says.

Under My Umbrella…!
Little Johnny may want the rains to go away so he can go out and play, but…. the monsoons are here to stay. Everything about the monsoons is enough to give you a high - the smell, the thunder and lightning, the cool breeze, the greenery and the sound of raindrops! Add to that, hot tea and bhujjiyas, friends and gupshup and you can feel like you are in heaven! But that is, if you are indoors…Outdoors is another story altogether! Getting drenched in the rain and having to wade through muddy puddles isn't always fun - especially not on your way to work, college or a party.
