Thrill of the Grill
No extravagant preparations, easy to cook food and adequate space; barbecue and bonfire
parties aren't taxing like
the usual ones
It's amazing how a burnt piece of log can warm up the entire circle of friends. How a little fire outside kitchen can raise the gourmet experience several notches, make an evening and put a pause to the harrows and hurries of a busy life. Raise a toast to barbecues and bonfires, making merry and grilling your way to glory.
A heady mix
It took him over two years of intense work, using session musicians sourced from Sweden and other Scandinavian countries, apart from India, to come up with his version of the Lady. That is, a music album with an interesting mix of American R&B, Reggae, Bhangra, Euro pop, African flavours with a strong bassline. Laughs South African artist, Kissh, "It's titled Lady because as the name suggests, it is for all the ladies," who was in Chandigarh, at Score, to promote his album. Where there are ladies, can men be far behind? "It is also for all the men who are in love.

In tune with Bollywood
When language turns into lyrics, comprehension comes naturally. That’s the beauty of music. It literally has no bars. For three-member female band from Philippines, Musika Anghel, even more so. “We don’t understand Hindi, we can only speak little bit of it but we can sing, Kuch Is Tarah and Tera Hone Laga Hoon and some songs from Jism 2,” shares Lolita Simon San Miguel, the band member and the singer. The heavily accented voice doesn’t falter with the lyrics.

Fighting the odds
Injustice against women is a topic that has raised dust in international conferences and at the local level. Every day brings to light cases of injustice that send shudders down the spine. Despite this, the story remains more or less the same. Asha Manwani, a social worker from Ajmer, recipient of Neerja Bhanot award 2012, in Chandigarh, talks about some basics that can gradually cut through the existing scenario.
For the change:

Colours of imagination
Old world charm lends itself to colour and canvas like no other. Foggy mornings, crowded streets, busy skyline, narrow lanes, winter evenings… there is a world waiting to be explored.
 Stress buster
Life is here and now
“Live in the present,” they say. Generally we make it a habit to constantly dwell in either past or the future. And since we are also constantly evading the present moment, we are creating unnecessary stress for ourselves.

Her favourite dessert is a brownie and she bakes them herself too. Earlier, she liked chocolate-based desserts but now she likes all sorts of sweets. Thankfully, she does not have the tendency to gain weight.

Ready for Maa Durga?
After enthralling audiences with shows of different genres, Colors is all set to bring to its viewers the untold tales of Maa Durga with the launch of its new show, Jai Jag Janani Maa Durga. A childhood folklore that we were all told about at some time in our life, Durga is one deity that is common in most Indian households. The show captures the story of Durga from the time of her birth and aspects of her life that have never been seen on the silver screen before. It describes the avatar of Durga as a young girl, who is a manifestation of Maa Durga to an equally powerful woman who protects innocent victims against evil forces.
No time to rest!
Mythological fare
Rakhi at it again
For chudail’s sake
Chulbul disappoints!
