Performed to perfection
Those who called Chandigarh a culturally dead city can go take a walk. The city was abuzz in year 2013 with number of dance, music and theatre performances as well as festivals that kept art lovers hooked. Who came? Well, you should rather ask, 'who didn't?'

Finishing touch
You would expect a suited-booted man with the I-mean-business look, buried behind the state of art equipments at his newly done-up studio. But Atharv Baluja, the brain behind Artha Film Studios, North India's first fully equipped post-production studio comes nowhere close to this image.

High on fashion
The concept of looking good is as old as mankind and that's why even today we do try to dig out the beauty secrets of the likes of Cleopatra or Helen of Troy. Added to that is being in sync with the latest trends and fashion and that is what Mehak Malhotra is trying study in her fashion designing course at INIFD.

Bare essentials
With the advancement of technology, it has become possible plant of certain saplings with bare roots. This has made planting easy and cost effective. No doubt the deciduous plants like peach, plum, pear, grapes etc can be brought and planted with bare roots, there are evergreen plants like kinnow and ber that could also be transported bare rooted and planted.
Master Chef
Raise a glass!
Yaay it's party time folks! A time for bonfires, music, woollies and warm smiles. Great food is a given and so is some peppy drink to pass around? A relatively new entry into the Indian market is cranberry juice in cartons. Unlike bottled stuff from abroad, the tetra packs are relatively cheaper. The juice is a delightful ruby red in colour, making a gorgeous addition to a punch to add punch to any party. Don't add orange juice to this punch, it clouds the pretty colour. Mix in either a helping of Sprite or
apple juice (Sprite will lend a zingy fizz to the drink!). A dash of ginger juice will give it a super sharpness and some delightful heat. Cheers! Have a great year ahead!
