Republic day
Right on duty
This Republic Day, here’s catching up with some prominent people to know what Fundamental Rights and Duties, as enshrined in the Constitution, mean to
them...
Here comes the January 26th, the historic date that gave us our Constitution. While the parade in the national capital showcases the ability of our armed forces and is a peep into our cultural heritage, it’s also a day to reflect if we are being responsible citizens of the biggest democracy in the world.
With rights come responsibilities; we talk to some prominent people from different walks of life about rights and duties.
Republic day
Voice of freedom
Music in many ways stands for free thought and when the occasion is the Republic Day, any tribute is more than welcome. Here's what bands from Chandigarh sing on social issues...
They weaved a mosaic that defined the character of each era. While they knitted music and lyrics together, musicians across the globe questioned the dimensions of existing norms. Be it the Woodstock Festival in 1969 that signalled the end of war in Vietnam and established the mass theory of power to the people or Rage Against the Machine, which voiced viewpoints highly critical of the domestic as well as foreign policies of current and previous US governments. There are many other names in the list of revolutionary musicians, including Jim Morrison and The Muse. This Republic Day, bands from Chandigarh chronicle their views on social issues with music that hits but does not hurt!

She’s got the look
Chitrangda Singh is beautiful, sexy, and stylish. She talks about style, fashion, fitness, and more.
Style files: I am into comfortable dressing. You will find me mostly in
jeans and tees. The maximum time I have taken to dress up for a party is about two hours with hair and make-up. But when time is at a premium, I dress up in 20 minutes.
Chatter box
United we stand
We talk to some stars about being an Indian and how they celebrate the day...
Understand rights: I am proud to be an Indian and urge all my fellow citizens to understand their rights better and be more aware about the significance of the diversity of this country. I believe nothing stands stronger than understanding this.
Respect freedom: We all Indians should understand the importance of freedom and respect ours. We all should know our rights as citizens but at the same time it is very important to fulfill our duties too. Happy Republic Day!

ARIES: Chances are high for meeting a lovely companion. Couples can spend a delightful time in each other's company, appreciating all the strengths of the relationship.
The year ahead
If your birthday is January 26...
The year commences on a positive note. Beware of saying anything malicious to anyone. Monetary gains in the form of shares and dividends are assured. Working women will find 2014 a bit strenuous. It is necessary to devote some time to maintain your health. Something will make you feel dissatisfied and pessimistic, but the stars are benevolent. Do not trust your instinct, try to stay cautious.
