Serious thought
The funny bone is getting some rest (read some). Punjabi cinema has stumbled over a chapter in history that has caught its fancy. From the jatt and his badla to the something more solid…'1984' is the year that is now doing the rounds.

Classical note
"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything."
— Plato
For any musician, it is critical that he relates with his music. As is the case with Anil Sagar, who was here to perform at the Surtaal Utsav, which was organised by the Punjab Sangeet Natak Akademi at the Punjab Kala Bhawan on Wednesday. "I pursued my graduation in music, wherein I was trained in Indian classical — both vocal and instrumental," he says.

A tune of his own
There is a consensus on the music of Aashiqui 2. Everybody hums and loves it, equates melody and romance with it; refers to it as a benchmark to rate music of other films…but then we hear someone asking, "Will it be as evergreen as the music of Aashiqui, which happened more than two decades ago?" Singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya, who instead of feeling distressed for lack of work in Bollywood, is happy to be away from it and in his own zone.

GET PHYSICAL
Legs to die for
Given a choice people would rather work out their upper body. Some people think strength only means upper body. Due to sedentary factors, thigh gets a little too flabby. To get shapely legs, perform exercises that will build and tone up muscles and follow a cardio routine and diet to lean out legs. This will not only help to look better, it will also improve health by increasing core strength.
A princess’ diary
Due to popular demand the Disney Princess Academy will return to India beginning January 5 to February 2. This year the academy will be even bigger with three additional cities added to the tour including, Bangalore, Mumbai, Chandigarh, Chennai, Cochin, Pune, Kolkata and Delhi.

A thank you note
Good old school days....good old friends....uniforms... tiffin boxes, books....sab ek jaisa. Same grievances against the syllabus and the strict teachers and that guy from the other class who would ignore us...sab ek jaisa... Innocent lives, innocent friendships, innocent problems.....

Bollywood’s shocking divorces
What seem like perfect relations and marriages only end in heart ache and divorce. With their picture-perfect nature, celebrity relationships and marriages often play out like fairy-tale romances in our mind. However, reality is no fantasy. Even the seemingly steady, made-for-each-other pair can decide to call it quits.

Madagascar marvel
Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world and home to five per cent of the world's plant and animal species, of which more than eighty per cent are found only there. New species are still being discovered every year; hence conservationists are currently placing Madagascar as a top priority.
