Summer scorchers
When the country's design fraternity comes together biennially to exchange notes on fashion, it calls for a serious hearing - don't we all know if it scorches on the ramp only then will it sizzle on the streets in the coming season! The recently held Lakme Fashion Week Summer Resort put together 102 designers to display, dictate and predict the future of fashion. Here's a trend report inspired by the fashion week, giving a lowdown on what the summer months are going to look like.
Quite a change
Change aayega aur hum laayengey…. A morale boosting, confident building line that we are hearing one time too many these days. Whether the change is coming fast or late, we watch….
GYAN ZONE
Classical moves
It is not quite unusual to be at the Pracheen Kala Kendra and hear the sound of either tabla or sitar from even a distance. But, like one always tends to undermine the tendency of the unusual, there are times, when it leads you to a greater surprise of even greater significance.
Creative call
At the Sobha Singh Art Gallery in Punjab Kala Bhawan one was treated to an exquisitely vibrant palette of colours, which tendered us a perspective-one of a kind that lead us down the memory lane and straight to our childhood. Organised by the division of social Paediatrics at advanced Paediatrics centre, PGIMER, Vijay Kala Kendra and Build Healthy India Movement (NGO), the exhibition was titled Little Hands.
Booked for life
No case study in the history of B-school ever prepares you for a life in prison. It's a life that affects every inmate eventually; whether they choose to fall down like a house of cards of rise like a phoenix. Author Chetan Mahajan battled emotions ranging from fear, denial and frustration by playing ludo, chess, running a marathon and writing. "My first reaction was denial. I never thought I'd go to jail. That does not happen. Nobody thinks that."
Score card
Far and beyond the only thing that Salil Amrute, background music composer finds solace is in music. The notes and rhythms is what he virtually had to keep company. "I started training in music at the age of nine at Zakir Hussain Institute, where I spent six years and learnt tabla. Thereafter, I did a course in recording from Mumbai University and took piano lessons from Robert Korea," says Salil in Chandigarh for his work in upcoming projects.
