With a special design!
In the second year of graduation, Jenjum Gadi dropped out of college without informing his parents. He used the fee amount that his father sent him to seek admission in a fashion institute. Not that he had a thing for fashion then; he couldn't have sat idle, so fashion designing happened by fluke. Now after almost ten years, Jenjum thinks that fluke defined his destiny and he couldn't have become anything but a fashion designer.
Patiala connection
It's an endeavour to pull the regal Patiala salwar from the eulogised space it enjoys as family heirloom and see it mingling with the crowds. Designer Rupam K Grewal wants to put the spotlight on the garment like never before. The label, Jaamawar Minx, her brainchild, came out of the inspiration to give a twist to the Patiala salwar, among other things.
Jocular Javed
Takeshi's Castle might have been shot in Japan, but it enjoyed a huge viewership in India as well. While some credit goes to the amusing stunts that commoners had to perform, Javed Jaffrey induced more fun into the show. His wacky jokes, witty comments and funny commentary in Hindi made it a show for Indian audience as well.
Loving it!
With a music channel, a drama show and a title role already behind her, Pooja Gaur has perhaps been through all the tubes of television. Better known as Pratigya for her character in Mann Kee Awaaz Pratigya, she wants to break free from the identity that a title role bestows and at the same time get into another one.

Cool & candid
There is something very intriguing about people who are not pretentious.

Amol Gakhal, 22, is a master’s student at the DAV College, Sector 10 and though he claims to be an average college going Chandigarh lad, one can trace his witty sense of humour that is masked by his evident high spirits. Here’s a self-proclaimed Narcissist’s confessions about fashion, style and a lot more...

A light affair
Skin lightening refers to the practice of using chemical substances or procedures in an attempt to lighten the skin tone or provide an even skin complexion by lessening the concentration of melanin. Several chemicals have been shown to be effective in skin whitening, while some have proved to be toxic or have questionable safety profiles, adding to the controversy surrounding their use.
Divine call
She proudly blends spirituality with jazz and throws in words like progressive rock, a bit of rap and all the contemporary commercial genres of music. Chandihgarh-based musician Sash, 39, comes out with a self-titled album, as different as the musical influences she reflects. Born in Kolkata, brought up in Delhi and currently based in the city, she shares, "I am a Ph D in Hindustani classical music and being a singer, I wanted to do something different. I couldn't relate to the music and lyrics prevalent in the market." While the cover of the album does not seem to go with the concept, but probably, that was an intended effort.
