On the beat
While shaking a leg might be easy, making others dance to your tunes is certainly not. Chandigarh-based DJs share how they do it…
From behind that smart looking space touched up with jazzy graffiti and some nice looking gadgets spread on a shelf, one can see nice faces, with huge ear phones attached to their ears. Often, they raise their arm and declare - let’s get the party rolling. They scratch, they play with the console, raising the sound, lowering it suddenly - deejays sure make the crowd go wild.

Focused eye
Having won many accolades and the National Award for his film Nabar, director Rajeev Sharma is all set to replicate his success in future. Currently he is working on a movie based on 1984 riots. It is titled 47 to 84, and based around the disruption caused by Partition and 1984 riots.
Rock on
He likes to a balanced approach, 50 per cent music and 50 per cent style and attitude… Pakistani singer Falak Shabir who is in Chandigarh to promote his album Judah by T- Series would rather make trends than follow any blindly.
STAR TRACK
Alia Bhatt unplugged
Alia Bhatt is all set for her second release, Highway and is currently promoting it at the prestigious Berlinale. Before she leaves for Berlin, in a freewheeling chat, she speaks about movies, her mentor, her father and much more.
Too busy to promote
Ram Kapoor has an important role in Ekta Kapoor's Shaadi Ke Side Effects but he has not promoted the film at all as he is too busy with his serial Bade Achhe Lagte Hai and his movie
Humshakals. Now, the makers will incorporate an episode with Farhan Akhtar and Vidya Balan on the show.
Natural choice
It's the beauty of nature well captured. The sheer magic of green and brown strokes takes over, time comes to a standstill and the only things that flow are perhaps streams and waterfalls. An exhibition of water colour paintings — The Song of Nature, draws from all the possible elements of nature. For Ashwani Verma, the artist, it's a wholesome
endeavour.

Go easy
Stress can be cumulative and insidious. The best way to avoid it is learning to anticipate it. We can do this by learning to pinpoint events that regularly cause stress. It is only when we are aware of this, we can work effectively towards dealing with it.
