When sense meets sensuality
Models wear Zara Shahjahan’s creations India and Pakistan story is one of the biggest ironies to reflect upon. While it doesn't get more tense than the political divide, it doesn't get more intense than the cultural connect.

Canine connection
Bhalu (German Shepherd) and Rhino with the proud owners When the kids and pets grow up together, the bond is incomparable. Rhino, a cute dachshund, was a Diwali gift by the Klers for Anna and Kabir, who were eight and four years old, respectively, at that time. Now when Anna is away to foreign land for studies, even out there her main concern is for the twelve-year-old Rhino. "Actually when Anna left home to study, Rhino became quite dejected so we got 'Bhalu', a German Shepherd, to keep him company," says Ballie Kler, the owner of Pumpkins Nursery School in Ludhiana.
