SALE
While the summer season is on the brink of fading away even as the monsoon has made an early entry into the region this year, several apparel brands and malls in Chandigarh have already started exploring profit-making avenues through alluring marketing strategies. One such strategy is the 'sale', which for long has been attracting buyers.
Most of us enjoy investing our money in products that are on sale, but there are
ways in which you can play it smart while bagging the best deals.

Brush with memory
Even as you arrive at the threshold of Jodh Singh's residence in Sector 11, Chandigarh, you get a warm welcome from the artist sitting on a chair at the porch: "Hope you didn't find it difficult to locate the house." One understands his radical disposition as he begins to wax eloquent about his passion for art. The Chandigarh Lalit Kala Akademi has recently honoured Jodh Singh for his contributions to the field of art.

Making some wise choices
Randeep Hooda's career has got a new lease of life and he is going places, from strength to strength and to bigger production houses. He talks about the changes in his life, his attitude, and more.
Nothing exotic
Priyanka Chopra’s latest single with Pittbull, Exotic, might be number one song on Indian lists, but the song has failed to make its appearance on US charts of top songs.
Her first single In My City had also failed to make a mark despite the association with Will.i.am. Priyanka took tips for her second album from Jenifer Lopez’s career. JLo had also once included Will.i.am in her album but the album failed to click. Then she took help from rapper Pittbull and her album grossed in top albums of the US.

Perfect shot
Prakash Jha is known to be a perfectionist when he is calling the shots as a director.
Recently during the shoot of his forthcoming movie Satyagraha, the acclaimed director used the water cannon on his own cast members, including the likes of Amitabh
Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal.
New face on the block
Beauty and Bollywood go hand in hand since the days of Madhubala and Meena Kumari. Be it Sharmila Tagore, Zeenat Aman, Parveen Babi, Aishwarya Rai or Katrina Kaif; they’ve all impressed us by their looks before they made a mark with their talent.

Drops of inspiration
Soul legend Brook Benton brought home the melancholy spirit of rain with his song, Rainy Night In Georgia. The record summed it all up in one line, I Believe It’s Raining All Over the World, and went onto become a chartbusting pop single in the 70s. Paradoxically, Bollywood comes replete with choruses on the joys of monsoon and the strong passionate feelings often associated with the season.
TRENDSETTER
Fit and fashionable
Jaspreet Singh, 21, who is currently pursuing B Tech from Chitkara University, claims to be a simple person with high ambitions. He confesses that he is a fitness freak and loves travelling. Besides photography, he loves playing basketball and he is a complete charmer when it comes to dressing up and styling himself. Here’s his take on trends and fashion…
GET PHYSICAL
Be a control freak!
Sweat, perspire, attain! ………..well, not yet! For months, you have been longing for that fabulous figure with a washboard tummy and have subjected yourself to those grueling sessions at your fitness studio or a gym. But either you have ended up with minimal results or no results at all. Or, even injuries!
If you really want your hard work to show the correct results then you need to understand as well as inculcate the concept of controlled body movements in your fitness regime.
Put on your dancing shoes…
Anybody can dance. Director-actor Parbhudeva’s movie showed that, and now it is Chandigarh-lad Akshay Sharma tells you how. And for this, you have to join his ballet and ballroom classes at Engine Room.
STAR TRACK
Bowing down to Krrish 3
Krrish 3 has already become a winning proposition for its makers. Multiplex owners have decided to charge filmmakers for trailers and also for displaying film posters and standees.

Nature’s fury
Innocent kids face nature's wrath in Parvarissh. A happy and cheerful bunch of lovely kids is all set to take off for a picnic to Nainital to celebrate the monsoon. Rashi (Sparsh Khanchandani) and her friends have many plans, however, their dreams are shattered and what happens is terrible.

Getting into the motion…
The song that is creating waves this season is Slow Motion Angreza from the most anticipated film, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. While the music of the song is given by Ehsaan Noorani, Loy Mendonsa and Shankar Mahadevan, it features the lyrical genius of Prasoon Joshi.
