Power of the unspoken
As an author who created a market of Indian authors and English writing, re-introduced the cinematic adaptations of contemporary literature, Chetan Bhagat justifies the ruckus that precedes him and the riot that he leaves with; the riot comprising string of questions, queue of people for a moment of interaction, school children hoping to chance upon some secret pearls of wisdom and more. Indian cinema, adaptations, school curriculum, education system, couple of controversies and Salman Khan or even Salman Rushdie…remaining unfazed is an art he's acquired over time.

Bound by a cause
A romantic spin with plenty of comedy, a topping of fights…all is well with the one big happy family of the Punjabi film industry. This is how they are and this is how they choose to be for a while. A white starched kurta with denims, pretty much the Punjabi style, producer Jasbir Singh Derewal flashes a confident smile.

Net gain
Technology's existence would have been futile had it not been for the lack of time. Needless to say, it serves for an optimum environment for Internet to flourish, considering that nowadays your Facebook account justifies the validity of your existence! However, Chandigarh folks are exploring unusual spaces of Internet to fill the void of intellectual information, which they choose to disseminate through online media while making it a new agent of change.

Another song in offing
Ayushmann Khurrana, who has sung popular numbers like Paani da rang and Saddi galli aaja in his films, says he will be crooning one number in a new movie produced by Yash Raj Films (YRF).
