What’s in a name!
From a distance, everything seems quite perfect with Hindi cinema…till we get closer to peek into the titles - Delhi Belly, Sahi Bandey Galat Dhandey, Salim Langde Pey Mat Ro…and the recent - Bumboo…Khol Do Parda Comedy Ka, the cast of which came to Chandigarh for promotion. Some hushed giggles here and there, somewhere in the corner a group trying to fit in the word Bumboo in different sentences, and some waiting for someone from this group to take the lead and explain! |

Plaza pleasure
With an aim to give foodies in Ludhiana a wide platter to choose from, the Park Plaza has aptly named their 24x7 diner as Panorama. Situated at lobby level, the place affords one a chance to soak in the terrace view through the glass windows. The look is accentuated by a cat-eye surface in shades of red and brown with an abstract mosaic background wall embedded with the mother of pearls.
