A cricketer, fitness trainer and a businessman--for Jonty Rhodes it was more a case of cricket choosing him than he choosing the game
While some people leave you with an impression, there are others who leave an impact, and impact is definitely mightier than impression. The sunny autumn morning at JW Marriot brought along the company of Jonty Rhodes, complementing the weather. As a man of much experience and calibre, as a cricketer, a traveller, and a businessperson, it is almost impossible to pick one aspect of his character, which best defines him.
A soothing tone
Singer Satinder Sartaj and Rani Breast Cancer Trust join hands to generate awareness about breast cancer in rural areas
Between the cause and the celebrity endorsing it, it's usually the celebrity who unintentionally walks away with all the limelight. The cause takes a backseat and the celebrity's personal resume gets highlighted. So when Satinder Sartaj walks in to promote the cause of cancer awareness, we expect the same, the singer talking about his old and new albums, latest works, his take on the Punjabi film industry and when he will become an active part of it…. However, for a change, cause takes over the celebrity this time.
CAUSE & EFFECT: Satinder Sartaj & Bittu Sandhu
Let’s dance
Raquesh and Riddhi are a fun real life couple all set to sizzle on reality dance show Nach Baliye Season 6. They met on the sets of Maryada, a serial, fell in love and got married. Two and a half years later, they have finally found time together to dance but all's not easy!
"The rehearsals for the show are no less than an Army training camp," they echo. "Each day Raquesh squeezes sweat out of his shirt, so rigorous are the rehearsals," says
Riddhi.

Look who’s back!
After four years in politics, Bhagwant Mann is back where he belongs — the world of comedy, with his latest offering Kulfi Garma Garam 2
Height of arrogance, heights of modesty and even heights of jealously--now comedian actor Bhagwant Mann comes up with a new term, heights of piracy.
"People ask me where can they download the link to my album, and I tell them piracy tey aap
karlo, odey lai tuhaanu meri lod hai." With everyone in splits already, Bhagwant Mann knows he has set the tempo. Out of sight for almost four years, the comedian shows glimpses of his the good
ol' Bhagwant Mann.

The second edition of Ocher Art Fair presents 30 artists and 136 art works
Apart from a million other things, art is infinite. An ever lasting medium to never ending emotions. There's a sea of expressions to capture and countless feelings to give colour to. Some struggle to display the eternal truth of human life, others just want to escape into the utopian world of childhood memories.
Blend with the best
Unlike many classical musicians, who scoff at the fusion trend, Ustad Fazal Qureshi thinks fusion goes a long way in presenting a perfect blend
of styles and disciplines
Starting off as a traditional performer, Ustad Fazal Qureshi found new freedom as a percussionist when he started responding to and playing with musical influences from across the world. In 1987 Mynta (the music band for which he has been playing for the past over a decade) happened, and since then his music has found yet new means, languages and collaborators across the world.

Non-stop music
Dwelling on the idea of innovation and experimentation, DJ Bhanu and Satvinder Sonu of Speed Records have come up with their album The Best of Remix 2013 and DJ Hits Non-stop.
As we engage ourselves in an interesting conversation with DJ Bhanu, we are acquainted with the reasons that led to this project. "In the albums we have covered a lot of new Punjabi songs with the motive of prolonging their shelf life. Also, I am a retailer with the Speed Records, which implies that I do not have to purchase their copy rights or ask the singers to re-sing the songs," says Dj
Bhanu.

Hair we go!
Kajal Aggarwal, who was last seen in Special 26, shares her hair care tips
Hair care
I keep my hair tied up in a pony tail or a bun. This prevents my hair from getting tangled. I use a mild daily wear serum on my hair which keeps it soft and tangle free. Also, I try and avoid using shampoos with chemicals.
Salman ridicules Ranbir!
Salman Khan apparently ridiculed Ranbir's latest movie Besharam on his show Bigg Boss 7. The incident took place on the reality show when Jaaved Jaffrey and Sharman Joshi came to promote their film War Chodd Na
Yaar. While they were talking about the box-office collections of their movies, Sharman reminded Salman that despite getting a three-star rating from critics, 3 Idiots became one of the biggest blockbusters of the year.
I want to be remembered for my roles…
Bollywood actor Raj Kumar Yadav will be next seen in a film called Shahid. The film is based on the life of the activist and lawyer Shahiz Azmi, who was shot dead in Mumbai in 2010. We caught up with Raj Kumar to talk about his role and more…
How did the movie happen?
I was shooting for Wasseypur with Anurag Kashyap. That's when he and Mukesh Chhabra (the casting director) thought of me and soon I was narrated the story. I was moved by it and felt inspired. So I had to be a part of this film.
