One for womanhood
Sometimes it is not a situation but the proximity to a situation that makes you sit back and think. For Nakul Singh Sawhney, it was the case of Gaurav Saini, from Delhi, who married a Jat girl. It wasn't the marriage, but the fact that Monica is a probable victim of honour killing, which guided Nakul's documentary Izzatnaagari Ki Asabhya Betiyaan (The Immoral Daughters in the Land of Honour).
The unflinching voice
Jimi Hendrix, the greatest guitarist in the music industry, apart from coming with interesting ‘on stage gigs’ of burning his guitar, playing it with his teeth; came up with an interesting one-liner for singers – ‘you don’t have to be singing about love all the time.’ Meeting with popular Bollywood singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya, we realised Jimi Hendrix wasn’t a ‘nut’ to have said that.
The fall girl
Freida Pinto admits that it's not all smooth sailing for her in the world of showbiz and she isn't always up to the fame game. Although she won fame four years ago in Danny Boyle's Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire, the actress has been criticised at every turn for her artistic choices.

Cooking up magic
He introduced to the Indian kitchen the joy of cooking, creating new recipes and experimenting with the existing ones. Chef Sanjeev Kapoor gave a new meaning to Indian cuisine with a genial smile and culinary genius.
Fun and roses
The festivity of colours continues on the second day of the Rose Festival at Sector-16. More people, more youngsters, more games for kids and a lot of roses. A perfect Saturday afternoon spent at the Rose Festival is definitely no regrets.
We overhear an elderly man explaining the scientific names of various flowers, the best bloom time and how one gets full bloom roses in the garden to the kids.
Balancing act
Will the real Amrinder Gill please stand up? We have two personalities here, a prolific singer who has come a long way from being an introvert, and a stylish actor who has developed a fabulous equation with the camera. Which one are we dealing with today?
High Spirits
Absolut melona
A fresh concoction of watermelon and mint; served fresh with melon balls and mint garnish.
Silver moments
A wedding is once-in-a-lifetime occasion where one arranges for the top-most venue, the finest set-up with a designer décor, high-end designer attires, sumptuous food and invitation to almost everyone one knows.

Driving the stars
Ever wondered what goes on in the back seats of those Hollywood limousines stuffed with A-list stars as they pull up to Oscar's glitzy red carpet? Is champagne flowing? Sometimes. Are diamonds dripping? Likely. Are gowns and tuxedos ready for TV? Mmmm, it pays to have a needle and thread handy. Chris Hundley, owner of Los Angeles-based Limo Connection, knows only too well what goes on inside the chariots of the stars during the trips to and from the world's top film honours.
Class apart
The Triveni Sangeet Sabha, in collaboration with the Department of Cultural Affairs, UT Administration, is organising a concert by sitarist Saeed Zaffar Khan of Delhi gharana. He will be accompanied by his son Sohal Saeed Khan.
