Of ethereal notes
Like the poignant notes that she strikes on her violin, gentle and soft spoken violinist Anupriya Deotale refrains from making noise of any kind. So she might be one of those rare women who have not only chosen to play an instrument but also a difficult one; there is not even a hint of boastfulness in her
demeanour. But then humility is a lesson that she learnt from her guru, the sarangi maestro Pandit
Ramnarayan. She reminisces and gushes, “Observing him made me realise how one can be great and yet have no airs”.
STRINGS OF PASSION: Anupriya Deotale
Tune into folk
Folk songs catch the fervour of the life and the times. Boliyan in Punjab have always been the telling tales of relationships as well as comments on life. Big Boli Star on at
Spark Punjabi and on radio has revived interest in this old genre.
A role to remember
“Life in cities like Chandigarh is very different from what it is in Mumbai and B-town, where it is much more difficult,” says Yami Gautam, who played the lead opposite Ayushmann Khurrana in the movie Vicky Donor. She was in Ludhiana for the inauguration of a jewellery showroom.
Life post Vicky Donor has changed and become busier for Yami. Pursuing graduation from the Panjab University and at the same time getting more offers for roles, Yami indeed has her hands full. Having reached Bollywood after some advertisements, movies Down South and television shows, Yami says she doesn’t intend to switch to TV as of now. She is doing some more movies, but does not want to reveal much. “It is up to the producers to talk about them,” she says.

Master Chef
Burger bonanza
A true-blue hamburger must surely be a meaty one but we are often inclined to order a veggie burger too. The choice then is only between paneer and vegetable ones, the latter being primarily a potato-and-crumb business, dotted with a couple of peas and a few scraps of limp carrots. It's only in the realms of your own kitchen that you can juggle with interesting ingredients and conjure up a good, flavourful and nourishing veg patty which is guaranteed to please.
