The Tribune, Chandigarh, India - The Tribune Lifestyle

A man of many seasons
You would be plain lucky if Milind Soman takes your call in one attempt. So, stop trying and drop a message. Then wait, and then wait a little more till finally your message inbox flashes the icon. It’s a reply from Milind Soman; short and sweet. By the way his phone is mostly on the ringer, this explains all the waiting. The supermodel, actor, entrepreneur and marathon-runner walks into the coffee shop of a Chandigarh-based hotel with ease, salt and pepper distributed evenly on his tuft and beard. Yes, they are hiding that sexy jaw-line, but they couldn’t hide the glint in the eyes, the well-toned physique or the interesting things he has to share! Milind has a docile sense of humour that can run loose anytime. In Chandigrah for Pinkathon, an event which is carried out in ten cities annually, Milind hasn’t stepped on the ramp for the last eighteen years…..but there is no love lost for there is much he is running towards!

Romancing the verse
Poetry runs in his veins and oozes from every pore of his being. India's acclaimed poet and lyricist Gopal Das Neeraj, in Chandigarh at the invitation of Haryana Institute of Fine Arts (HIFA), stands as an epitome of all that is right with the world of words.

An age of learning
When you love something totally and absolutely, you overcome all the challenges that come your way with a winning smile. Such is the story of Dhaval Gada, a 24-year-old who is ready with his debut movie Issaq, which he has co-produced with Shailesh R. Singh.
