Mind that matters
Canadian politician Ruby Dhalla has many dimensions to her personality and she shines through them all
If you probably meet her without any back up of her credentials, there is no way
you could guess that she could be a politician. A leading model or a super model is what would make of her to be, certainly at the first glimpse. Ruby Dhalla can indeed pass of as someone from the entertainment world, till she starts to talk about herself, her journey so far and the day things were never the same.
For those who you who are not clued much into politics, Ruby Dhalla is a Canadian politician. She represented the riding of Brampton-Springdale in the Canadian House of Commons from 2004 to 2011 as a member of the Liberal Party.

Joint venture
If there is one thing that can get the Punjabis together after a brawl 'or a fight in the university campus,' it is the live shows, the newer version of akharaas. The ever-green Gurdas Maan would and still enigmatically binds the audience of thousands with his electrifying performance; Jazzy B can set the stage on fire single-handedly. And then we gradually see from single performers to a group or let's just say a band of popular Punjabi singers performing.

Notes from an artist
While a painter spreads the colours on the canvas, the reds, the greens and the blues stick to the hands as well. "My hands get soiled while I paint and the same holds true when I am writing a book. During the process, I end up discovering so much more about myself and my life in general," shares Priya Tandon, who is currently writing her next book, Sunrays For Friday. She has already written Sunrays For Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday....

A direct take
Coffee Season 4
I know that Shah Rukh Khan is not on the season yet but he is a big part of my life...so what if he is not there on the show?
SRK, Aditya Chopra and my father along with Yash Ji have made me what I am. I will happily sweep the floors of YRF or Red Chillies if needed. They know how much I love them.
Ranveer, Deepika are just friends
Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone are painting the town red with their love but the couple is not ready to admit their relationship in public at this moment.

Deepika.
Special importance
Deepika holds a special significance in my life. She is somebody I respect and admire a lot, somebody whom I have grown close to. She is an awesome person, she is somebody for whom I have great amount of admiration.

Spot it out
Moles on the skin are common occurrence; nearly everyone has at least a few. As per its location, colour and size in some people a mole may add to the beauty while in others it tends to appear ugly. The moles become worrisome when they suddenly enlarge in size or rapidly increase in number.
Shooting star
When it comes to business, it is not just the quality of the product or the service that matters, but also the marketing of the same. And Amit Sood of Roshan Studios, Sector 8, Panchkula, understands the seriousness of his trade—photography, since what they make is more than art, and what they sell is definitely more than an idea.

The carrot crusade!
My crusade to feed my kids all possible vegetables was “mission impossible” indeed! It led me to narrate a lot of encouraging stories to them about the goodness of greens. My preachings about carrots being good for eyesight were being taken rather seriously. When we grate, cook and ‘bhuno’ our carrots into a gaajar halwa, let’s not fool ourselves we're deriving much nutrition from the carrots in there. Even a carrot cake is not exactly a health food, but it’s certainly less cooked than the former. The trade mark spicy taste comes from the use of cinnamon powder. Raisins and walnuts are delightful but optional.
Past revisited
Internationally renowned playwright, director and educationist Dr Atamjit was honoured on Sunday by the Punjabi Lekhak Sabha, Chandigarh for his contribution towards providing a new guidelines to Indian theatre and writing unique scripts of dramas after exploring the Sikh and pre Sikh history of Punjab.
