The best mix
Remixing is a cross between technology and art. While technology is a constant, art is a variable and changes with the person at the console. If both had been a constant, there wouldn’t have been any difference between DJ Aqeel and the one playing music at a ‘sangeet’ in the neighbourhood. “Technology helps you extract vocals from music but how to get it, modulate it and re-present it is where the skill of the DJ comes in,” shares DJ Aqeel, in Chandigarh on Friday to launch Hippodrome-Bar & Night Club at Park Plaza. This is one of the night clubs that Aqeel will manage, besides his popular ones — Hype and RSVP. He shares excerpts from his journey.
Song and string
Although puppets evolved into cartoons and animation characters over time, the essence of this age-old art form is still in the rawness of its execution and innovative experimentation, which infuses in this art form the much-needed novelty and drama. On the last day of the second edition of the International Theatre Puppet Festival, at the Tagore Theatre, Chandigarh, the actors and director, Hristina Arsenova, of theatre group State Puppet Theatre-Burgas of Bulgaria, speak volumes about their show Tumba
Lumba.

Abuses abused?
Seems like it's rather 'cool' to blurt out expletives today, without bothering where you are or who are you with! The problem grows manifold when our artistes go overboard with their creations or on the stage. Honey Singh has come under the scanner more than once; Hard Kaur landed in a controversy yet again at a student festival in New Delhi. While some dub it as a generation being 'honest' others worry about its impact on young minds.

 Punjabi Tadka
Thinking right
It was his track Soch that changed the ‘soch’ of Punjabi music listeners. Well, not literally though. Punjabi singer Hardy Sandhu created waves with his track Soch that received great reviews. Hazel-coloured eyes, a neat goatee and hair done up stylishly, Hardy continues to mesmerise with his soothing romantic tracks. Harry, who started his singing career in 2012, has a long way to go.
Future Shock
Stay connected
Now that Facebook has agreed to buy WhatsApp in an unprecedented $19 billion deal, the future of free messaging apps looks brighter. Facebook has lately become a hangout place for parents to stay connected and possibly get a peek into their children's life. Little wonder then, teenagers have started distancing themselves from Facebook. Acquisition of WhatsApp by the social media giant is being seen as a way to engage these younger members of the society.

 Master Chef
Something fishy
The season to relish fish in its various forms is at its peak now. Though it is taken all over the year in other parts of the country, for the north it is a "no! no!" from May to August. So enjoy it while you can with this very light dish.
