A tough call
Let alone retakes, there are no second chances. Theatre's biggest lessons come from the fact that it is live, three- dimensional and instant. Whatever lessons are left are taken care of by hard taskmasters and mentors rolled into one. Nadira Zaheer Babbar is never really in a sparing mode when training aspiring actors. "I am very demanding and I make them work really hard.
That is because I work hard myself," she shares, while in Chandigarh for a
weeklong acting workshop.
Making noise
Good music played in any corner of the world will make some noise everywhere else. Which is why the dance music being played in the clubs of Holland is being heard loud and clear right here.
Stars in her eyes
Perhaps it is Poorvi Koutish's easy-going charm or the captivating demure, which blends effortlessly well with the intense jazzy texture of her voice. A former contestant of the show, Indian Idol, Poorvi was in Chandigarh at the inauguration of Saraswati Music, Dance and Cultural Academy, Panchkula, and while she exchanged an interesting banter with us about her music career, it appears that there is more to this 19-year-old than just a beautiful voice. This city girl took to singing courtesy her mother, who won the music show, Sa Re Ga Ma in 1998, and considers her as a role model.

Crop it right
The sight of a painfully tight cropped top on a rather well-endowed woman and the hurt that the sight caused was motivation enough to write on how to wear a cropped top — the fashion style that owes its origin to the pop culture of the late 80s and early 90s.
While this trend came a full circle last summer, it is still doing the rounds on the shelves of some extremely fancy brands.
What’s brewing?
Now you can club beer with some clubbing. Giving in to the patrons' demand, Ooze The Brauhaus, Panchkula unveiled its new lounge.
While the freshly brewed beer remains the USP, the state- of- the art lights and music also throw open a dance floor and lounge that offers some private and group sitting.
