Rooted yet flying
Without a doubt acclaimed Bharatnatyam dancer Geeta Chandran, with a dimple in place, is a beautiful woman. But once she gets talking, her striking good looks move into the background, it’s her sharp incisive mind and clarity of thought that holds your attention.
Indeed, her big eyes still say a lot… but speak in a language of passion and abiding commitment to her muse. As she stands as a bridge between tradition and contemporary, often between different art forms too, she echoes the words of renowned dancer Yamini
Krishnamurthy, “You take a handful from the river of tradition and offer it back.”

A new beginning…

Evil designs
The God of Oh My God got lucky. He didn't have to wear the heavy metal jewellery to affirm his status as God. He got a relief from huge headgear, curly, shoulder length, unkempt hair and flowing outfits.

Gujarat at your door step
Gurjari, on at Lajapat Rai Bhawan -15, brings a fabulous range of handlooms and handicrafts of Gujarat to Chandigarh.
From typical bandhani saris to colourful puppets, it brings the culturally rich state alive. At the very entrance is a heavy brass statue of Ganesha (only Rs 1,07, 000), though the range of brass knick knacks starts from Rs 70.
get physical
Set realistic goals
Aerobic exercise is believed by many scientists to be the single best predictor of weight maintenance. You can even lose weight without exercise by reducing your caloric intake, but it takes a regular dose of exercise to keep your weight off. Somewhere between 30 to 40 minutes of moderate intensity exercise five days per week is probably the right way to do.
