The language of dance
Whether it is life, music or even tradition, it retains freshness only if it flows like a river; anyone who gets stuck like a mountain, ends up with only a handful of experiences. Likewise for tradition, every generation adds a little, omits something and then passes the baton forward. Renowned Odissi dancer Daksha Mashruwala, in Chandigarh to perform at the Varsha Ritu Nritya Sandhya organised by the Indian National Theatre, has a beautiful way of looking at it. Eyes sparkling under the dark shade of kohl, gesticulating like the fine mudras, Daksha speaks softly. “I like to look at dance and its various nuances like grammar. So, when I choreograph a dance I don’t change the grammar, I only bring about meaningful additions.”

On a song
One should never underestimate the importance of music in Hindi films. A film might or might not be a hit but if it has some original music to boast of, half of the work is done; probably the reason why in Mahesh Bhatt’s films music is always given a lot of importance. It’s this fact that Bisakh Jyoti refers to when asked whether he will be able to establish himself in the industry amid cut-throat competition. “Music is still a very important feature of Hindi cinema.

Small spread
We have been receiving queries on some flowering trees that could be recommended for small spaces. Now what does that small space mean—a home garden, a narrow road, a premises? However, let us talk about some of the small stature flowering trees for small spaces.
The ‘in’ side
Sunsational driveway
It is highly essential to have a well-lit driveway for your safety as well as your security. Due to poor driveway lighting, vehicles unintentionally run-over flower pots and hedges or bang into gates. Also a poorly lit driveway is more inviting to burglars than a well-lit one.
GET PHYSICAL
On your knee!
Composed of bone, cartilage, ligaments, muscle and tendons, your knee is one of your body’s most complex joints. The knee joint allows you to run, walk and play sport. Awkward movements, falls and collisions, sudden twists, excessive force or overuse can result in a range of injuries to the knee joint and the structures supporting it.
