A little birdie says…
After making their presence felt on Facebook, to reach out to their fans Punjabi film actors are now taking to Twitter in a big manner. All thanks to the legendary Gurdas Maan who has led the way by marking his presence on Twitter
If a newborn baby can have a Facebook page created by the proud parents, which is religiously updated every hour, do you think the who's who of the Punjabi film and music industry will be far behind? It might not just be the right comparison, but if you check just about every singer, actor, director, producer or script-writer is virtually sitting on their FB page, updating their life's happenings every single minute. Punjabi film actors heavily depend on the social media in order to connect with their fans. And now, some, like the most popular actor-singer Gurdas Maan have also created their account on Twitter.
Sensitive date
Director Rajeev Sharma's Punjabi film 47-84 deals with a delicate subject. He says his only aim is to convey that one must stand against wrongdoings of any kind
A walk down the memory lane can leave you with a bag of mixed feelings…things that could have been done, people you could have patched up with…if only you could get a chance to rework on all that! This unmindful walk, however, also hints at lessons that you learn.

Three cheers to brightness
Members of the band 3 The People, who have cut their debut album Amavasya, believe collaboration is the way ahead in the music world
The name of their debut album Amavasya is intriguing and we aren't the first ones to quiz them on that. A title synonymous with darkness, grief, negativity; having a spooky connotation (you always have an evil soul creating ruckus on the dark amavasya ki raat in Bollywood), Amavasya was strangely the name that band members of 3 The People agreed upon.
BEING TOGETHER: (L-R) Azim Ahmedalvi, Sameer and Saransh Mishra.
Hopping on music
Dj Shaan’s music is all about passion, vibe and experience, which cannot be learnt
He was only thirteen when he took to the console and two years later, in 2010, Shaan performed at the Sunburn, Goa, which is one of the most popular electronic dance music (EDM) festivals in India, thereby becoming the youngest Dj in Asia. However, while elaborating on his music genius, Shaan, 18, is a man of few words, rather reticent, but firm and confident as he traces his journey towards becoming a Dj. "I was always interested in music, but I was yet to consciously explore its compositions and technical details until in school, I started playing trombone and that's when it all started," says Shaan, who was in the Chandigarh to perform a gig at the F Bar.
