Spicy curry!
At times, anecdotes aren't a mere reference to the past. They are stories that you eagerly want to hear. Alan Coxon, the food archaeologist from Britain, might not have the storyteller part of his personality shining in his resume but he sure is one! From his experience in Amritsar to the history of meringue, he shares it all but not without adding spice to the content, like he does with food. Alan is at the Taj, Chandigarh, as part of the Great Campaign to be organised by the British High Commission.

Dynamic & direct
In the constant Friday race, the only thing that makes sense is the cash registers and the huge round of applause. Accordingly, the only noise that he likes to hear is the roaring laughter of the audience. As long as the three merge, director Smeep Kang doesn't see the point in leaving his comfort zone.

It might not be a conscious decision, but band members of Swarathma stay true to their name. If from September to March, they tour cities across India for concerts, the rest of the year they dedicate their time for making compositions, thus connecting their souls to music.

Midnight celebrations
One associates with the Mary Kay Ash's wise words as she says that a company is only as good as the people it keeps. For Ford India, which has managed to gain a good momentum in selling their cars and keeping up with the costumer satisfaction, they have all the reason to celebrate and make merry for not letting the current inflation affect them.

Get physical
One for the stamina

I eat compulsively. It relaxes me. I try not to but I just give in and eat. It depresses me. I don't know what to do.

Unchained creativity
What good would a punishment do, if it were bereft of capacitating a change through realisation? One is prompted to question and analyse the very purpose of prisons at the Institute of Correctional Administration, where a photo exhibition on prisons by Upneet Lalli and the products made in by the prisoners of Tihar, Karnal and Jammu & Kashmir were displayed.

Master Chef
A date to remember
Whatever our learned physicians and dieticians might advocate, one cannot do without appeasing our sweet tooth, So what to do? The solution is that we make some at home and regulate the fat and sugar content. Also we make them attractive and tempting enough to be picked up and savoured.

Long drive with John
