A new dawn
If a happy 2012 features on your 'to-do' list, it's time to start now! Many of us would have taken a New Year resolution by now; while some will be able to keep it throughout the year, for others it might be a game of a month, a week or even a day.

Indian tapestry
When a foreign artist chooses India as his muse, what can the end result be? Malnourished children begging on the road, a sun-burnt skeletal figure pulling a rickshaw in some traffic-congested area or opium smoking, long-haired sadhus at Kumbh Mela. So when Tony Phillips, who is all set to exhibit his illustrations at Punjab Kala Bhawan under the aegis of Punjab Lalit Kala Akademi's Beyond Boundaries programme, told us that he had made some comments on the Indian society, especially Delhi, through his paintings and drawings, we half expected to see those set images.
What the stars say…
It is the dawn of the New Year and despite reading as well as watching all kinds of flicks; watching all the news channels going gaga over the doomsday happening in 2012, trust us, it is not happening! The New Year will usher in all the happiness, bliss and joy just like all the others years will.
I resolve…
Bipasha Basu’s New Year resolution is to be a harmless liar because ‘sometimes lies help in getting out of sticky situations’. Actor Chris Evans has vowed to take yoga more seriously in 2012 in a bid to get rid off his aches and pains (he is just 30).

Punjabi script, global stage
We have said, written and talked a lot about the ‘good’ that Punjabi movie industry is doing to itself. It was time to translate it into something concrete. So, came in the announcement by Parvasi Media Group from Canada on Friday — that it has instituted the first-ever Punjabi International Film Academy Awards.

Cups of delight
We are all brimming over with festive fervour! In my opinion, nothing says 'Happy New Year' better than a spectacular tray laden with dainty pots filled with glossy velvety chocolate creams! I love serving these in teacups because there is a surprise element in this presentation.
Comfort factor
Well, to begin with it doesn't bear any tag of international chain of hotels. But they are counting and recounting their advantages nevertheless. The personal touch, the customisation, ambience, it never stops right?
Of colour and form
Mukesh Kumar's art speaks louder than his words. Working diligently under the watchful eye of his able teachers, Mukesh has put up his work in Flamme Bois Bistro, Chandigarh for the first time.
