Progressive thoughts
 For
DJ Jon O'Bir, who ranks 132 in the world, progressive house is the genre which
is closest to his heart
As a resident DJ, he's plays at Godskitchen, UK, traverses across the globe, but doesn't complain, "The journey's been good, we had a stopover in Delhi and it's completely different weather in India."
Spinning is a serious business and Jon O'Bir is taking rounds all over. "It's my second time in India and first in
Chandigarh. I like to travel to different places. I discovered India last year and it was an eye opener for me, we had a great time."
India calling:
For DJ Jon O’ Bir the visit to India is an eye opener.
She's got the look
When it comes to music, ‘hearing’ is believing. But in case of DJ Emely 'seeing' is believing
The venue of the music concert has been shifted from a resort near Morni Hills to JW Marriott. The reason cited for the change by the organiser is, "We were flooded with inquiries about DJ Emely, (who will perform at the event) and we realised that at the earlier venue not many people will be able to make it to 'see' her." No wonder, why 'seeing' this DJ is a bit more important than listening to the kind of music she plays. One, she is strikingly beautiful, two, she is dressed up for the occasion. Aptly or not, that's debatable (a white tube dress in satin with tantalizing hemline which gave the feeling that a wardrobe malfunction is waiting to happen)!
Being in a profession that demands night shifts, she admits, it's just not easy to take care of skin, hair and health, "But I do my bit to take care of myself. I am teetotaler; I don't smoke and hit the gym five times a week for one and a half hours each day," says the DJ who is in Chandigarh to perform at the console at The

A comic punch
Only those who have true passion for theatre can survive in the field, believes Sangeeta Gupta. Two decades into it, she is ready to stage her play 'Bebe Ji Main Sant Ban Gaya' on Saturday at Tagore Theatre -18. A tête-à-tête with her…
What is 'Bebe Ji Main Sant Ban Gaya' about? It's a satire on so called modern day 'saints'.

I've not insulted medical profession: Aamir Khan
Pats and brickbats —Aamir Khan was prepared for it all when he set out to discuss burning issues in his debut TV show Satyamev
Jayate. Fearless and convinced about the aim of the show, the actor-filmmaker says he is totally unapologetic about raising the issue of malpractices in the medical profession, thereby upsetting an umbrella body of 21 medical institutions.
"I have absolutely no intentions of apologising because I have not done anything wrong," Aamir said in an interview.
Fearless approach: Aamir Khan
Maximum change
The film Maximum is about to be released by the end of this month and one sees former Miss India Neha Dhupia in a sari clad role for the first time.
Not in the number race, Neha is happy with her fair share on screen. "I have learnt to be content and I am pretty delighted with the kind of work that I am doing," she says.
Her latest, Maximum, a crime thriller, directed by Kabeer Kaushik has Naseeruddin Shah, Sonu
Sood, and Vinay Pathak in the cast. "I play Priya, a wife. She is someone who plays a balancing factor in this otherwise racy thriller," says
Neha, who enjoyed the experience.
