His name is Bond, Jatt James Bond…
As director Rohit Jugraj shouts light, camera, action…actor Gippy Grewal gets into a fight sequence, revealing that every Jatt has a Bond within…And pretty lass Zarine Khan fills up the gaps
He runs along with camera trolley, calling shots,
sending a war cry one time too many….Cut, he shouts. Director Rohit Jugraj is
a transformed person on the sets. Standing behind the camera or appearing before
it to explain the scenes is not his style. He runs with his lead actor Gippy
Grewal in all the fight sequences, he jumps around like one of the men in this
sequence. He does everything his artistes do, only he wouldn't be captured in
camera.

Sitting through a documentary is not everyone's cup of tea, which goes without saying that making one isn't so either. Jung Bahadur Atwal, who is working as a producer at the Centre for Advanced Media Studies at Punjabi University and also the editor and technical advisor on the series of documentaries being made by the University on various poets, the first one being on Mohan Bhandari, would want to ideally
create an atmosphere congenial for watching documentaries.

ARIES: Be particularly wary if dealing with property matters. Go to bed in time. Don't close your mind to various possibilities. If an old friend needs your support, get together for a coffee or lunch and listen to their doubts and worries.

A new beginning
This is a very significant week. Something new is happening in our lives. My brother is getting married. My little kid bro. For me, he always will be. From the time I held him in my arms, not letting anyone touch him....he was mine....just mine. My mom's precious gift to me.
Pet theory
Planet Pets, the one-stop-shop for pet animals, provides customised cuts for
specific breeds
Dogs might not turn a house into home but they certainly make the idea of home sound sweet. For dog lovers, pets find a place in the hearts apart from home. For the unconditional love and loyalty, all that you need to give in return is proper training, grooming and maintenance.
"Most of the pet outlets here are not one- stop-shops. Most of the times, they only stock pet products but not the proper knowledge," Sikander Singh, the proprietor at the launch of Planet Pets at
Manimajra, rues and claims in the same sentence.
