Satluj meets Shanghai
Keeping up with the trend for authentic international cuisine taste RED (Rare Eastern Dining), the Chinese specialty restaurant at Radisson Blu Hotel MBD Ludhiana, has started a food festival called Satluj to Shanghai Culinary Journey.

Attuned notes
It doesn't get more imaginative than Hungarian folk music specialists wearing saffron headgear and gearing up for a shabad kirtan programme at Ajit Karam Singh International Public School in Chandigarh on Wednesday! However, in respecting cultural diversity lies the true spirit of unity.

In the right company
Just so that Punjabi cinema's golden era doesn't turn into a grave one, there's a timely attempt at streamlining projects and putting perspective into efforts. The formula films that are ever forgettable, one time producers fading overnight or distributors that are twice shy; there's a lot that lurks beneath the rom-com surface of flourishing Punjabi cinema.

A leaf out of his book
There lingers the exquisite expression of aesthetic perfection at the Sohba Singh Art Gallery at the Punjab Kala Bhawan on Tuesday evening. And one is transfixed at the perception of beauty, joy and spirituality, a unique mélange of poetry and photography that is conveyed so effortlessly by Sanjay Kumbhkarni, a photographer and a poet, in his 14th solo exhibition, My Branch, My Leaf.

A peep into Priyanka’s wardrobe
Priyanka Chopra has emerged in the fashion world as a gorgeous and sexy swan. She talks about what makes her fashion sense tick, her idols, and more.
Wardrobe swap
If I were to swap my wardrobe with someone, it would be Victoria Beckham or Rihanna. Though, I wouldn't let go of the Louis Vuitton trolley from my wardrobe. It was gifted to me by my parents on my birthday. It has sentimental value.
