Balancing fact
Art always need not be laden with meanings and messages. Ambassador of Switzerland to India and Bhutan, Linus von Castelmur does not think so…
It's a city where the term French architect mechanically translates to Le Corbusier.
Where a discussion on architecture conjures up parallel images of landmarks in the city and where absolutely any mention of contemporary art and architecture is incomplete without the due spotlight on the origins of Chandigarh. Begin with Le Corbusier he did!
"I shall not talk about Corbusier and not even about what ambassadors talk about…
I shall be presenting an imaginary exhibition of two Swiss artists who deserve to be mentioned to you," Ambassador of Switzerland to India and Bhutan, Linus von Castelmur, introduces the works of Swiss artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss. On an invitation by Chandigarh Lalit Kala Akademi, he takes over the lecture 'On the tipping point: Balance and precariousness as artistic strategy.'

What’s cooking?
Actors Lisa Haydon and Randeep Hooda were spotted having dinner together at a suburban five-star hotel on Tuesday. Both are single and haven't worked together. However, Lisa Haydon vehemently denied the buzz that they are dating.
"What a joke! Randeep and I were introduced half an hr before this picture was taken at a work dinner organised by
@blinglive with 2 management members present. Most surprised to see a paparazzi on our way out as there was no other event at the hotel that night....He was obviously tipped off, I certainly have my guesses! How disappointing! I do not "casually date" and if I did it, trust me...it would be somewhere a lot more private than where paparazzi are indiscriminately let through the front door (sic)," the 27-year-old model-turned-actress tweeted.
Life is beautiful
You may not completely agree to it, but then you cannot deny that beauty also comes in two degrees, one is where beauty comes with an additional bonus of grey cells, and one that has no support from grey cells. Standing pretty and standing tall are the two beauties, Mehak Chahal of the Bigg Boss fame and Annie Sekhon, a TV actress, each falling in one of the categories. We leave this homework for you or you might get an answer towards the end!
