Sound of music
In all its capacity to decipher innovation through improvisation, fusion music has etched a rather global ideation, which transcends all paradigms of geographical and cultural barriers. Now here’s a progression to this genre, only this time, it is infused with the ragas of Hindustani classical music, the sound of which blows through the contemporary jazz instruments—tenor, alto and soprano saxophones.

Throwing light on shadow
DJ Shadow from Dubai aka Satheerth Kunneth started the game all for the wrong reasons but has stayed in it as he is discovering his passion for music along the way. Born and brought up on a rich dose of Bollywood, this DJ with Keralite roots was fascinated by what the life of a DJ offered — instant fame, attention from girls — and it all looked so easy. He was 17 then!
For society’s sake
Ceramic sculptures and social issues can barely be put together in the same sentence. C Vishwa, ceramic sculptor from Jharkhand, likes a sense of purpose about things. It could be his thoughts or the creations that finally emerge out of them. “I always think of ways and means through which I can highlight social issues. For instance, global warming and so many other problems that our society is facing,” he shares, during his first solo exhibition in Chandigarh.

Backing Tamil films
If you have seen Gangs of Waaseypur, I have dedicated the film to director Bala. He is a rooted and elusive person and I like the way he portrays his characters. His audiences love him so he does not even need to promote his movies. I thought his film Paradesi would do well in the North so I have decided to lend my support to it.
Body basics
Serial kisser of Bollywood Emraan Hashmi is ready to go bare for his next movie
Ghanchakkar. The actor will take off his shirt and would show his well toned body and abs. In several scenes, he will display his body moves. There is a scene in the film where he will be seen doing stunts inside a moving train.
