Bride & bravado
Gone are the days of the coy bride. The new-age girls have an attitude to boast of, which is more than evident in the photo-shoots…
The blushing bride is a bit of a misnomer. Bridezilla sounds more like it! When today's brats turn brides, there's likely to be a little shuffling. So the random guests take a backseat and the bride steps forward, with her head held high and the chin strictly up. Wedding photography gradually makes way for photo-shoots - a wedding album where the bride is neither shy nor coy. Rather she is winking at the guests, posing with the friends, giving thumbs up and having fun!
The sensible lines
Punjabi singer Guru, who is from Gurdaspur, says he puts in a lot of sense into his songs as well as the lyrics…
He selects his words carefully; the same attribute he applies to his songs, each word falling in line in a symmetrical order, pleasant to the ears and eyes as well. Punjabi singer Guru puts in a lot of sense into his songs.
Guru got this small name from the rapper Bohemia, who would shorten Gursharanjot Singh Randhawa to 'Guru' on the stage. "This is my stage name now and this is how people know me," adds the young singer who comes from
Gurdaspur.
High on talent
Mita Vashisht, in Chandigarh, says life comes to an end after the mid-thirties for women in the Indian glamour industry
She spent long years in the City Beautiful. Cycling around with her gang, watching English movies at KC theatre and hanging out at newly opened Hot Millions…Mita Vashisht remembers Chandigarh of the late seventies.
"I have lived in Chandigarh before and after 1984. What fun it was before…we would go all over Punjab for youth festivals. And then, there was a sudden end to all that. Life started limping back, but it was never the same for us," says
Mita, in Chandigarh, on Wednesday.

CELEB POINT
Love thy animal
As I write this, my little pet, Sakhi, sleeps next to me, with her little paw on my arm, feeling secure…what innocence they have! All they seek is love and attention...like little babies.
And they are so clear about what they want, unlike us humans, who have been so conditioned to manipulations that we do not anymore understand the concept of pure unadulterated emotions. We doubt when someone is genuine. We question the motives. What does he want from me? Why is a certain person so good to me? We question intentions. We work around ways to get our work done from others. In all that we have left good old basic pure emotions far behind...the ones these animals have.
