Sibling
revelry
The portrayal of brother-sister relationship in Bollywood movies has moved from being clichéd to more realistic. And the future holds more promise…
He doesn't run around pulling her plait, she doesn't sneak into his room and check out his CD collection; they do not keep a tab on each other's phone calls… the portrayal of brother-sister relationships in Bollywood is anything but real!

A slice from life
Nature moves on, events occur; it's us who react to them. If all goes well, it fuels our ego, if otherwise…leads to a guilty feeling. Such is the theme of the play Munna Ki Wapasi.
Based on Rabindranath Tagore's story by the same name, it was life's philosophy that finds expression in this story that caught director Chandrashekher's attention.

The perfect therapy
Medicine was rather a chance profession for Dr Anil Bhansali, but once in it he passed each stage with distinction. Today, a leading name in endocrinology, he is known for not only professional excellence, but also fair administrative skills and invincible compassion. Fond of reading (he writes as well) and music, his passion is to keep fit.
"Everyone has ample time if only you intend to utilise it well," he says. Head of the department at
PGIMER, Dr Anil lists out characteristics that go into the making of a good medico.

People’s person
Not everyone in life is born with a plan and knows exactly where he is heading. Ishaan Vadhera was no different. It was only three years back that Ishaan really knew what he was getting into. Today, at 21 he has successfully completed an internship with Your Brand Voice, one of the leading social media marketing firms. Currently studying at the Indiana State University in USA, the lad is no different from a thousand others.

Lyrical addiction
The much talked about Bhatt project Jism 2 has good music to look forward to. The track Abhi Abhi has tenderly drilled piano notes in an enchanting expression of guitar. It has KK’s mesmerising soft tone with Munish Makhija and Arko Pravo Mukherjee's sensuously driven poetic words which make the track a meaningful one.
Laugh out loud!
Question: "What kind of hair do oceans have?"
Answer: "Wavy"
How silly a joke this is, but it would have at least made you smile if not laugh. It's not that jokes have to be extra-ordinarily funny to make one giggle because a latest study has revealed that no matter how badly a joke is told, it will sometimes elicit a few polite laughs because social norms make us averse to providing negative feedback.

Cookie feast
Anzac is a popular cookie but who would believe that the word is the abbreviated form of ‘Australia and New Zealand Army Corp’. I love anything with a story or some random fact attached to it! These cookies became known during World War-I as Anzac biscuits because women from Australia and New Zealand baked, packed and parceled them to their soldiers serving overseas during World War-1.
