An artist & a lady
It’s hard to say whether she is more beautiful or her art is. Stunningly attractive, interior architect and designer Raseel Gujral is the perfect ambassador and model of her bright funky and in-your-face work.

A loser’s point of view
Often, when a fiction writer's imagination translates into words, which eventually takes the shape of a novel, a major chunk of his work reflects his real life experiences. So, when Pankaj Dubey, who launched his first novel-What a Loser (English) and Loser Kahin Ka (Hindi), in Chandigarh, talks about his book, he makes no qualms about his book being inspired from his life and the lives of his close ones.
