Rock the club!
It's Saturday night and the clubs of our tinsel town are gearing up to make the party meter soar. So, what are you wearing to match up to the colours of the 'shiny disco ball'? Well, the truth about fashion is that if you don't care about it, it won't care about you. So, make sure you sign a fashion statement in the most stylish way possible!
Past present
Antiquity need not always be equated with regression, for it's the strong roots that decide the leaps of progression. The challenge of recreating a Punjab and representing the culture that existed six decades back, never intimidated writer Amardeep Singh Gill during his debut endeavour in regional cinema. "I wanted to establish through my first film what sort of cinema I wanted to work upon. This was a platform for me to bring the like-minded and creative people together," he shares, just back from an International Film Festival at Toronto, where he showcased Sutta
Naag.

Independent thought
It takes a lot to make the reality engaging, rather than connect the readers to imagination! Punjabi author Surinder Neer, consciously overlooks the profit-driven culture of contemporary literature and works on subjects that spell simplicity and stay close to her heart. "When a bird sings in a cage, it's an endeavour to break free and not to entertain the audience," she speaks of the inspiration behind her second novel, Maya. "That's where the whole idea of penning this book came from. We see women around us who are happy and successfully running their homes, but after a point there is always a search for something more."

Plan each day
We are constantly on the run and also feel that we are constantly running against time. This feeling can be reduced by organising time better. All we need to do is implement a few simple systems into our day.

Water, water everywhere!
The plants and beds are parched despite regular watering; all thanks to the rising temperature. We had advised in our previous write-up to fix priorities in watering different plant species as their watering needs were different. Those requiring more water should be watered more frequently. We discussed fruit and vegetables. Today we will talk about ornamental plants.

Is the PC era coming to an end?
Tablets have transformed our computing habits. We are now using it more on the go and less on the computer table. The case of the Personal Computer (PC) started dwindling with the invention of the more portable and now cost-effective laptops. Recent developments in technology and changes in our lifestyle have further dented the market for PC.

Curl up with a sandwich
Cool light snacks are any day welcome, especially in the summer. Sandwiches have always been an all-time favourite with young and the old alike, and if we can have more attractive as well as tastier options for making them, it does please the palate as also the eyes of the
foodies.
