Tale of two heroes
Much before the likes of Marvels Avengers blinded us with their special effects, there existed the original super hero of the Indian television. The nice guy who packed in a punch and also the moral values, differentiated between good and evil, indulged in innocent believable heroics rather than the corrupted super powers.

Nothing to cry about
 Whether you actually end up crying after marriage or not, you definitely wouldn't lose even one drop of the saline water while watching the Punjabi film RSVP
(Ronde Saare Vyah Pichon). You might get emotional, but you wouldn't cry over the money spent on the ticket!

An apt advice
Jeeve Jawani is Gurpreet Singh Toor's latest offering to the younger generation in Punjab, which is under the cloud of drug addiction.
The world is his stage!
To be or not to be, to do what you love or love what you do, to speak out your mind or remain a detached onlooker and go with the flow!
As a group of young actors engage us in a series of intellectual banter, there comes a male voice from the background—what is more dangerous, the nuclear bomb or Ekta Kapoor?

Of tea & trousseau
Come October and it's raining lifestyle exhibitions. Some are looked forward to, others just about make a mark, while still some others are gone in a blink and later missed. For an exhibition under one roof, in the heart of Chandigarh, it packed in quite a lot-a handful of designers, a label catering specifically to linen, a tea tasting counter, a jewellery brand. The Posh Bazaar is an endeavour to stick to the philosophy of exclusivity.
The Posh Bazaar was a delight for shoppers
Magic of the hand
It's been a season of blending traditional crafts with contemporary silhouettes. Taking off from the legacy of hand-made work and trying to fit it into today's life-a cocktail party, a wedding reception, a summer day out! "We have clubbed chikankari work with zardosi, kundan and tarkashee work and come up with various wearable options,' shares Malik Sunny of Riwaaz Chikan Studio.
Chikankari lehengas are a major draw at the exhibition

TROUBLE SHOOTER
Breathe life
See, just like hypertension where the doctor decides what medication is needed, other techniques such as decreasing hostility in one's life, learning yoga, regular exercise are encouraged as these also help in reducing the blood pressure.
CELEB POINT
Yesterday once more…
It was my first ramp walk in Punjab as the show-stopper for Riyaz Gangji’s Libaas at the Punjab Fashion Week! I've walked the ramp for many designers but this was my first in Punjab.
Natural choice
His first painting is strictly meant for display. It has developed cracks after surviving for 35 years, but artist Hemant Malhotra is still not ready to part with it. Not that it is art at its best but the sentimental value attached to it overshadows the little commercial value it holds.

Forgotten fruit
Last week we discussed some of the forgotten fruits like jamun and karonda. This week we have more to remind you of the good olden-golden days. That was the time when most of the nutritional deficiencies were taken care of by the consumption of seasonal fruits and vegetables and the supply was also ample with low costs.
