Stage
of success
Theatre has seen a surge in the very modern city of Chandigarh. Now, we see banners of theatre festivals on roundabouts; cars scamper for space at the Tagore Theatre and people make a beeline for plays. Well, there was a time when artistes waited for the audience to start a play; now we have a full house much before time. We catch up with theatre people to talk about the change and much more.
Model manner
She shuttles from being a little girl in a candy shop to playing the picture of perfection expected of a beauty title-holder. A crown brings along a sea of transformation; apart from the applauding audience, the tiara and a world full of opportunities. What invites the broadest smile, followed by a giggle is the mention of homecoming.
In the spotlight
Television actor Hussain is getting a lot of buzz in Delhi NCR these days because of his show Zangoora played at the Kingdom of Dreams resort in Gurgaon. He also made his film debut recently in Shree. He talks about family, shows, travels, and more.
Happy at last!
Om Puri, who is currently shooting with the awesome Helen Mirren in the French town of Albi for Swedish director Lasse Hallstrom's 100 Foot Journey, is happy being so far away from all the domestic stress that his life has gotten into.
He says, "I am so happy to be here in Albi. It's so peaceful and beautiful. We started shooting earlier last week. I'm very proud of whatever we've shot so far. I saw the rushes.

Seat of creativity
If you think a chair upholstered in a beautiful fabric looks stunning, think what two different fabrics can do to that chair! Yes, they can make it look even more gorgeous. This trick is usually used by designers to add a subtle surprise and a visual punch to an otherwise boring room; be it the bedroom, living room, dining room or even the office. The back of a chair is a great place to use a more delicate, expensive, or ornate fabric that might not be ideal for the seat.
