Voice matters, so do looks
It's not only in Bollywood that looks matter, the Punjabi music industry is not far behind. We dig in to find more. Fashionably fit
We have heard that Honey Singh has worked out on six pack abs for Brown Rang's video. Says Honey Singh, "Earlier our audiences used to be simple, but nowadays they are fashionable, so even we need to set some standards, being their fashion icons." Even if he struggles to keep up with the busy schedule, he does work out for at least two hours a day. He adds, "Staying fit is the latest trend, so I make it a point to follow a strict diet with a lot of proteins and minus carbohydrates." And what can get funkier than Honey's hairstyle, not to forget his red coloured ponytail?

More Hindi than
Few years ago…had you come across Tyler Williams strumming his guitar and singing Hindi films songs at a restaurant in Delhi, you would have dismissed him as just another Indophile "afflicted" by Bollywood.

Tips and toes
It’s an open secret that pastels are the colours for the season. And the big news is that nude is even in for the nail paints! After an excess of bright and oddball colours, it’s the wearable shades like crème and beige that are here to stay. But that does not mean that bright and bold moments are not to be enjoyed. Classic reds, chic corals, mellow yellow and metallic designs are still to be relished. But unlike last year, this year the theme for nails is elegance. And that means properly trimmed nails, neat and clean; but don’t worry if you have long nails they are here to stay.

Value for money
Largely what we need and what we get is not the same. The same can also be said while we choose the automobile of our choice. Some would be jumpy, some single pointed, some analytical and some haunch. Point is, when we actually get down to the business of selection, the number of brands available and sales pitch of each of them sales team leads to confusion, and hence, digression from our real purpose of buying the vehicle.

GET PHYSICAL
Bridge of Good Health
Setu Bandhasana is classified as a backbend that opens the chest and increases the flexibility of spine. In Sanskrit, setu means dam and bandha means lock. When you are in the pose, your arms and legs create a locked bridge with your body.

Saroja VaidyanathanMessenger of art
A known proponent of one of the oldest dance forms of India, Saroja Vaidyanathan aims to give lessons on Skype by the year end. In Chandigarh, on Sunday, for the grand finale of Pracheen Kala Kendra Nritya and Sangeet Sammelan, Guru Saroja came with her two very promising disciples Dakshina Vaidyanathan and Amrit Sinha. Ask her about the future of the classical art and she puts all the uncertainty to rest.
