Close to life, closer to reality
With its ability to weave images in movement and sound, cinema equips art with intensity of motion, thereby increasing its impact. Served as the commercial product of modern times, cinema has received both, acceptance and appreciation. However, the independent cinema, which evolved from the Information Films of the colonial period, remains the poor cousin of mainstream cinema even today. At the ongoing Chandigarh Film Festival at Government Museum and Art Gallery, Sector 10, we delve into the creative mind space of a couple of award-winning documentary and feature
filmmakers.
The storyteller of memories
Hectic work day, rusty car radio, filtering traffic, musty street lights, winding roads, and emotions— you, unruffled silence behind closed eyes and a voice on the radio that prods you to encounter simple emotions you've shrouded with a smile. Most of us know him as the voice behind Yaad Sheher.

Smoke screen
Exposure to smoke not only aggravates a lot of skin diseases, but also causes skin disorders and premature skin-ageing. The damaging effect of smoke on sensitive skin cells are a prominent feature among both the active smokers and the innocent passives.
Future Shock
Shop till you drop, virtually!
In February this year, Motorola came up with a new way to increase sales and generate marketing excitement. The Moto G smartphone was launched in India then, but it was not available in stores. Instead, the smartphone was available only online via Flipkart.com.
Flavours of Delhi
The chefs at Dilli 6 food festival at Park Plaza, Zirakpur, have recreated with authenticity the romance of old Delhi! The palak patta chaat of Sharma Chaat Bhandar along with four types of flavoured water; the kanji vada, Kasim's biryani, Shafiq's divine kheer are as good as what you'd get at
Dilli- 6. The authenticity of the paranthas, the bedmi-aloo, the literally
silken reshmi seekh kebab and the Purani Dilli biryani, minus the oozing ghee
and artificial colour, are indeed a delight.
