Ring leader
From personalised messages to popular film songs to weird sounds, ring tones are getting fancier and wackier
The sound of a baby crying cuts through the silence. Everyone immediately turn their heads to locate the source. The crying wouldn’t stop. And then someone pulls out a mobile from his leather jacket, looks at the mobile and flashes an embarrassing smile at the people around.
If you think this is one odd case of a ring tone that’s bizarre, wait till you hear a phone that says ‘You dare ignore my call’ or something like, ‘Pick me baby one more time.’
They are the best!

Brushing up an ideology
He may have spent half of his lifetime in cities more precisely in Chandigarh, but veteran artist Malkit Singh whose works are in the collection of prestigious museums like the Museum and Art Gallery, Chandigarh and a museum in Egypt, has never been able to bid adieu to his village Lande, near Moga district. Wherever he goes be it the Triennale or Japan where he participated in a workshop recently, his pind tags along. Actually it lives within him, breathes inside and often spurts across by way of forceful images.

Centre of attraction
Centre-melting chocolate pudding
Method
In a saucepan, add water and keep it on a simmer flame. In a bowl, mix chocolate and butter. Keep this bowl on top of the hot saucepan to melt the butter but see that it does not directly come in contact with the flame. Now stir the ingredients till they are smooth and glossy. While the chocolate is still melting, add the sugar to the mixture. Add one egg at a time stirring continuously. Lumps should not be formed at any cost.
For fun’s sake
Music composer-cum-singer-cum-actor Bhinda Aujla is okay with the Punjabi film industry churning out rom-coms
It’s too early to expect experimental cinema from the just-revived Punjabi film industry. Too early for it to spring up surprise thrillers or action flicks. Let it produce more romantic, funny, buddy films, let more singers become actors, let it tread the beaten path.. what is important right now is to mint money, get established and then take a step forward.
