Track record
Music labels have made a sound entry in Punjab and are promoting singers of all shades with a big bang
There is probably one thing that is always weighing on the mind of a singer, apart from of course many other tiring tasks, something like increasing the number of likes on the facebook page, signing up for shows in Canada, sitting over stories of films, and yes of course styling their hair... deciding on the music record label for their single or album. If music is the soul of Punjab, then a music company is the building where this soul is nourished, cleaned and presented well in front of the audience. Recently, Punjab has seen a growth in the number of music labels, directly proportional to the growth of singers. Here we are, with some of the best known music labels of Punjab that have been playing new notes.

Armed with patience
It took Kim Wolhuter six months to be just seen around by the pack, six more months of moving with them to breathe in familiarity before shooting for the show-Man, Cheetah, Wild
Man is not meant to be tamed; that's why Kim Wolhuter chooses to call the wilderness his home, the cheetahs and hyenas his family, and the generous offerings of nature his livelihood.

Weight watch
Eat right
Losing weight doesn't mean that you punish yourself and your taste buds by suppressing your appetite or by restricting your food intake to achieve your target weight. For this purpose, you can simply avoid unhealthy options and go in for healthy and balanced ones. You can become an artist for yourself by shaping your own body and achieve the right amount of weight by designing a healthy and colourful weight loss diet under the supervision of an expert who can guide you to plan your meal wisely.

Stress buster
Learn to let go
We get hurt and we stress over it. We know it is not good for our health, yet our feelings are not in our control. Forgiveness is the key in such circumstances. Although we all understand it but we all know that it is the most difficult thing. Forgiveness in fact can be a real challenge. Yet forgiving those who have wronged us is actually worth the effort.

Trips and tours
Mrunal Jain, who essays the lead role of Akash in the show, Uttaran, recently went to Hong Kong and Macau for holiday with his wife Sweety, Munisha Khatwani, Shilpa Anand and Anand Suryavanshi. They went to casinos, shopping and clubbing all three days. They shopped till they dropped. The only problem they faced was that Mrunal and his wife are vegetarians and it was difficult to find Jain food for them, so they survived only on Margarita Pizza. With photography being Mrunal's hobby, he clicked away to glory.


Happy holiday: Mrunal Jain with his wife, Sweety Jain, Munisha Khatwani, Anand Suryavanshi and Shilpa Anand
