Designs without prejudice
The S factor
A decade ago the question on the fashion industry's obsession with Bollywood used to evoke a diplomatic reply. Not anymore. You shoot the same question to any designer today who has to his credit a couple of B-town show-stoppers and you realise how the industry's approach has changed.
For an Eventful event
It's about being different. Difference is the word…. Bring about a sweet change in a relationship and see the difference, rehash your wardrobe and see the difference, bring about a positive change in your attitude and see the world of difference. So, this is where it boils down to, 'bringing about a difference.'

It's a mini jungle out there
"I can teach the Japanese how to make a bonsai and the Americans how to grow cactus," laughs Major General CS Bewli. It's been 10 years since he has been cultivating his passion for the miniature trees. His first solo exhibition is also the launch pad for the Bonsai Culture Club, where he will be training enthusiasts to care and groom their bonsais.
Master Chef
Roll the ribbon
Chicken Cordon Bleu is a French-inspired poultry dish, although evidence suggests that Chicken Cordon Bleu was actually developed in the United States by chefs imitating other stuffed meat dishes from Europe. Cordon Bleu means ‘blue ribbon’ in French, and in French culinary tradition, the Cordon Bleu is awarded to food or chefs of particularly high quality.

Celebrating togetherness |
Shankar, Ehsaan, and Loy have been together for fifteen years. They celebrated this togetherness with a bash, with people from the industry such as the Akhtars, the Khans, and many more, at a nightspot in the suburbs. |
Hot couture!
Yes, it's a Sunday morning. If you are planning on being part of the huge crowd headed towards JW Marriot where the Bridal Affair 2011 is underway, be sure to either walk or just rely on public transport. The traffic chaos there closely resembles the clogged roads of Delhi. Between the line of swanky pallazo-wearing madams driving hi-end cars and the chauffeur driven wheels, the wait on the valet is sure to make enough time to grab a coffee.
Bond with melodies
Born in a family devoted to music, brothers Ahmed Hussain and Mohmmed Hussain are the finest exponents of ghazal at present. With a fan following across the world (their dedicated students come from Japan, London and Toronto for a month every year to train under them), Hussains are a humble lot trying to serve music as well as humanity in their own ways.
The Flower-ing prices
Confused about the gift you want to give at a wedding or a birthday or an anniversary party? Don't be. Flower bouquets are always there to bail you it. There is almost no-one who would hold back a smile on receiving a fresh, aromatic bouquet of flowers.
Window to a mystery
An historian has finally solved the puzzle about two stained glass windows that inspired Vincent van Gogh and had baffled the historians for almost 150 years. Experts have been searching for the location of the windows ever since the post-impressionist painter wrote about seeing their designs in London in 1876.
Chill Out
An evening in Paris
What better way to spend the summer holidays than enjoying the cool climes of Switzerland and away from the heat and dust of Ludhiana? My daughter Anayat and I flew to join my husband Navdeep in Zurich. He was there for his work. We landed on an extremely pleasant day and were fortunate in getting a cab driver who could speak fluent English.
