Reviving the roots
Simran Jeet Singh and a few like-minded youngsters in New York City have made it their mission to educate people on Sikh religion and culture through The Surat Initiative
In a restaurant a quotation displayed at the far end of the wall freezes your attention. 'Change your opinion, keep your principles, change your leaves, keep intact your roots—Victor Hugo' it says. And this is where it all starts and pretty much ends as well — the roots. It gives an identity, a reason, a shape to each one's individuality. It gives a reason, a reason that drives you to your goal.
Tie -up: Turban Day celebrations by Surat Initiative.
Winners take it all!
The winners of Raid de Himalaya once more re-live the adrenaline rush they felt while driving on Khardung La and Wari la, the highest mountain passes in the world
To be known as a regular at the Raid De Himalaya is very different from getting popular as the winner of the rally. He has been participating in the competition for the past six years but Jagmeet Gill only realised this time what was lacking all this while.
"Winning the rally has a different feel altogether. Not that I don't enjoy the thrill of driving over the rocky terrain and completing the rally distance before but this time the perseverance and efforts bore fruit," says Jagmeet

Beyond classrooms
Inme, an outdoor and adventure-based learning company is all set to provide specially crafted outdoor programmes for children
When number crunching in office cabins appeared too repetitive to make sense, they quit to play the modern day Pied Pipers. Only the children came following their mentors into rock climbing, mountain biking, white water rafting. Adventure was more like it! "We were tired of doing the same thing again and again and all of us were a bunch of outdoor adventure enthusiasts," Puneet Palaha briefs on behalf of the five that quit their jobs with multinational companies in favour of starting Inme, an outdoor and adventure-based learning company. "We also had a lot of parents and even CEOs of companies coming to us wishing that their children had more social skills."

A dialogue with the past
For comedian Jagdeep, who will be seen in a comedy film, double-meaning dialogues are a complete no no!
Famous comedian Jagdeep is anguished over the rise in vulgarity in cinema and blames films for the spurt in rape cases in society. "Cinema which was considered as the mirror of society has suffered moral and social degradation. Cinema has lost its soul," feels
Jagdeep. Working in a comedy film, based on rapes and blackmailing, with co-stars Om Puri and Kulbhushan
Kharbanda, Jagdeep says the film is shot in Lucknow but the title of the movie is yet to be
finalised. Jagdeep compares the old film Satyug with today's Kalyug and dubs today's cinema as
"hippocratic, mechanical and repetitive'.
