A gay story?
Bombay Talkies, the film dedicated to 100 years of cinema, was a much appreciated project by four filmmakers. This is where director Karan Johar, who loves opulence, cut out his story in a modern-day set up highlighting a gay relationship.
Something which is certainly not new with the Hindi cinema! Just when a section around is settling with the gay relations, the Supreme Court of India drops in a ruling making gay sex illegal. Almost immediately we fall back on a medium that helped to break the shackles around this not-so-easily acceptable word.
Dance with me
He is a Salman find. But not a Salman fan. "I was a Salman fan but not a die-hard Salman fan." The delicate balance explains how Master Mudassar was not intimidated by the star and rather creative with him! Perhaps, that puts in place the crazy yet popular 'collar and belt steps' we so associate Salman Khan with.

Wear your attitude
Fashion and trends go hand in hand and the youth brigade goes for it with full gusto. They might look casual but we can make out that it is a studied trendy look. A student of fashion designing, Gurcharan Singh also travels the same route.
Fun with Kapil
Kapil Sharma is popular and so is his show Comedy Nights with Kapil. The show is on his fans' mind and on his too, so much so that, says Kapil, "Even when I say bye to my Mummy ji, I end up saying "Dekhte rahiye Comedy Nights with Kapil…"
Kapil interacts with his fans for Airtel Talk 2 Me with Kapil on Thursday afternoon. While he cracks jokes on them, some Smart Alecs pull his legs too…
"So kaisa lag raha hai mere se baat karke," asked this doctor from South with Kapil merrily falling for it.

For the love of music
In times when including a rap in the track has become an unsaid rule, debutant Ishmeet Narula prefers to be a puritan. Professionally trained under Ustad Abdul Aziz Khan in Delhi, Ishmeet is now settled in California.

Purrrrfect puddings!
Bread pudding is one of the easiest and most satisfying comfort foods that can be It's quick to assemble and the ingredients are invariably within the home ground. I love leftover pudding the next morning, pretending it's my breakfast! Why not? It has eggs, milk, bread and sugar. Isn't that what a good breakfast comprises of? Oh well, agreed there's more sugar here than necessary, but never mind that. My favourite version of the classic bread pudding even has apples, so there! Isn't that good for you too? This spiced avatar also has a hint of rum and raisins to give it extra zing.
Celebrating phulkari
After Manish Malhotra pulled phulkari on the ramp, gave it a twist, used it in his collection, the mention of the traditional weave of Punjab paints an ever more colourful picture. But what's presented in NIIFT, as a part of institute's celebration of craft of Punjab, is rather a sepia portrayal of the same.
