Eat and make merry!
The time of festivities and treats is right here. Christmas calls for its own share of food fare and Chandigarh folks are doling out sumptuous spread.
For the Francis household, Christmas is a big occasion and Gaity Francis takes upon herself the task of preparing everything. "My parents are from South India. So we have traditional Southern food with a Western touch. There are kalkal and
murkoos; all the stuff my Mom makes at home. Her chicken full roast has a filling of beans, carrots, raisins and almonds, which lend it a rich
flavour," says Michael Angelo Francis.

Deep notes
Diminutive Kailash Kher seemed dwarfed by the elaborate stage in Ludhiana on Sunday evening, but only till he did not perform…he left the crowd mesmerised at the end of it all! Kailash suffered depression for two years after his business floundered, but the singer has risen like a proverbial phoenix.
Go clubbing!
While one is heavily burdened with complaints about the existing clubbing culture in Chandigarh, there are a few names that stand out. At the launch of AlphaQ, a night club in Sector 9-D, one is pleasantly surprised as the place has all the makings of a good club with all paraphernalia is place.

The Grip — The trigger finger
There are some preferences used by lower handicap golfers and professionals while taking the grip. One of these is an extended index finger of the right hand (for right handed golfers). This coupled with a short thumb of the left hand improves club head and club face control while allowing the wrists to hinge and release freely.
