Singh is still the King
For those who have been watching Bigg Boss Season 5 know it can't get more melodramatic and rigged than this. Even for Kaun Banega Crorepati, we heard similar rumours. “We are showing reality,” the telly industry screams aloud!
Tom of all trades
 
It is not always that a school adorns a theatrical look. In between the blues and the grays at Vivek High School, the burst of colours comes from the students dressed in elaborate costumes and intricate head dresses. The stage has just wrapped up the dress rehearsal for the play—Babur Ki Aulad. In between the shocking blues, greens and reds, is Tom Alter. Dressed in a white loose-fitting kutra and a checked dhoti, his conversation betrays nothing about his American origin.
Sotheby’s surges ahead
Sotheby's sold an impressive $200 million in Impressionist and modern art recently, led by a $40 million Klimt landscape at a sale that broke records and helped reassure an unsettled art market.
There's a way out
People stuck with a rule are more likely to tolerate it than people who think the rule isn't definite. And this could explain many things, from unrequited love to the uprisings in the Arab world.
When people were living under dictatorships in the Arab world with power that appeared to be absolute, they may have been comfortable with it, said Kristin Laurin of the University of Waterloo who led the study, the journal Psychological Science reports.
No compulsions
Hollywood actress Jessica Biel says she doesn't feel under pressure to have children but says she would like to become a mother at some point.
The 29-year-old actress recently rekindled her romance with singer-actor Justin Timberlake but says she is in no rush to start a family, reported Elle magazine.
“I think probably at some point it would be something I'm interested in. But I don't feel pressured. I was never one of those girls who dreamt of my wedding and my Prince Charming.
Strings of melody
The Indian National Theatre is organising the 34th Chandigarh Sangeet Sammelan. According to Amulya Shukla, coordinator, two artistes will perform everyday.
Here is the schedule of performances.
November 4
Dhruv Bedi (sitar)
The youngest yet most accomplished sitar virtuoso, Dhruv Bedi will open the festival. A foremost disciple of Pandit Budhaditya Mukerjee of the Imdadkhani
gharana, Dhruv announced his arrival on the musical scene at the age of 14 with a brilliant performance in Mauritius and later in Switzerland.
Weaving a success story
Colourful hand-woven fabrics from Jammu and Kashmir to Kanyakumari are all here at Weaves, an exhibition on at Himachal Bhawan-28.
A partywear Uppada sari costing around a lakh and half rupees is the centre of attraction here. In mesmersing pink, green and gold, the weave in zari is exquisite. It takes over two months for three weavers to complete one piece, we are told.
“Chandigarh is the only city where we sell saris over a lakh,” says Madhvi Naidu who along with Weaves travels over the length and breadth of the country.
Outdoor treat
 
Outdoor kitchens are the hottest trend these days. Many home owners are installing outdoor kitchens and living spaces in their backyards for entertaining and Sunday lunches. The best parties have always centered around the kitchen and dinning areas, and to move it outside creates an interesting twist. Here is what you must know before you start:
Move the yogic way
The human body has been so made that each centimetre of the physical self has to be moved and used internally and externally. In our daily course of life we do exert our different parts but some remain unused and even some glands become inactive and that is what leads to various ailments or discomforts, mild or severe.
Love rules
A pure romantic number is mandatory in a Shah Rukh Khan film. The song Dildaara fulfills the criteria in the most appropriate way. The melody is fresh, sober and hummable. Although the winner of the film, Ra. One is indeed Akon’s Chammak Challo, Dildaara makes the album complete with melodious music. Sung by Shafqat Ali and music by Vishal-Shekhar as always doesn’t disappoint. The only regret is the video. If only SRK sported something better than a hair mop going haywire. Fans cite reasons why they give a thumbs up to the track.
Inspired clicks
Despite the bad press, playing video games may actually spur creativity among boys and girls, independently of their violent or non-violent nature.
Sleep and beauty
One in three women say that sleep deprivation negatively affects their looks almost fours days a week, while one in ten say they can see its effects every day.
