Heart’s calling
Hobbies require a certain level of passion and though most people want to pursue one, the problem is we often push those passions aside in the name of 'professional growth'. There are hardly any people who nurture their hobbies more than their vocation. But exceptions are always there and this is where such people make a difference in their life. We feature some of them.
GREEN THUMB: Major General (retd)Bewli
Cop story
Now it’s comedy — Punjabi cinema’s latest fascination. The premier show of Ajj De Ranjhe in Chandigarh on Thursday saw the actors and Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal enjoying the movie.
The perfect cut
Theatre remains Dolly Ahluwalia Tewari’s first love, although glamour and recognition has come her way through television and films. An actor as well as a famous costume designer, Dolly has made her mark in a field not much known or respected, at least when she started.
Bill of contention
These are a set of rules that are conveniently sitting where we left. Save for a slight shift in the chair, there have been no reports of flouting them at large. A romantic date, candle-lit table, generously displayed chivalry—dating rules which were essentially created as an effort (sometimes desperate) to woo one, still stick to the basics. Some ‘modern’ day women though have gone out to finance a date but the words ‘let’s Dutch’ is a big ‘no-on’ an official date.

Caring: It is no longer the men who foot the bill on a date, more and more women are doing so.
Rapid strides
A quick neat drive from Krishna Automotive, Chandigarh to Parwanoo on the machine gives a ‘slight’ insight of the machine. Launched almost a few months back, Skoda Rapid in diesel and petrol variants offers a different feel. A five speed manual box, a good grip on the road, the machine is comfort if you don’t get down to comparisons.
Awadhi ahoy!
As you enter KC Royal Park, a gush of exotic aroma of spices greets you and the mood for sumptuous royal food is set. The hotel is rolling out some typically popular kebabs and biryani for a food festival. Celebrity Chef Haleem Qurashi has all the recipes and ingredients, which go into his mouth-watering delicacies, up his sleeve. He talks about his love for food.

Of rhythm & repetition
It’s the easiest music to face. What you heard in the hotel lobby you last went to, is perhaps the best description of lounge. Like someone simply put it, it’s a mood music! The music that remains most played at hotel lobbies, spas, lounges and boutiques.
The range of lounge encompasses melody influenced instrumentals, modern electrica with a strong hint of jazz. The earliest type of lounge music was called nothing more than light music and appeared only in 1920s and 1930s. While the sound ranges from electronica to jazz, but at the end of the day, it’s all lounge!

SOS for trees
At this time when there are a few friends of trees, it is very important to grow new plants. But it is all the more important to know the reasons and protect them from decline.
