Passion personified
As much as skill, it takes stimulation to be able to bring to life all things that are subject for still life. To be able to translate the colour, culture and mood and crowds of a place on canvas. Some of the several things that Padma Shree Manu Parekh found with the city of Banaras and all that it had to offer; the ghats, the river, the boats, the temple, the surroundings and the people.

A cosy dinner
The Bollywood music scene has for long dismissed the idea of including Independent music. Independent music significantly voiced itself in the mid 90s and early 2000 while establishing the hit 'cutting an album' culture. 

Spatial statement 
Tughlaq, by far has been the one of the most controversial rulers India has ever seen, some call him a genius, others plain crazy and yet another consider him far ahead of his time. Known mostly for moving the capital from Delhi to Daulatabad and back again, the play Tughlaq by Shri Ram Center for Performing Arts to be performed at Chandigarh Arts & Heritage Festival also focuses on the same.

Humour at its best
There is a thin line separating comedy and humour — if comedy is an act that makes people laugh, humour is the quality of being amused. Punjabi film Goreyan Nu Daffa Karo (GNDK) fills both the slots perfectly!

Fatty issue
Cellulite — the name sounds like a medical disorder but it is a term for lumpy, dimpled skin on the thighs, hips, buttocks and abdomen. Cellulite is the herniation of subcutaneous fat within fibrous connective tissue that manifests topographically as skin dimpling and nodularity, often around the pelvic region.

Fauji flavour
The Army life is one to cherish. "It's always rosy, miss!" is how first-time author Brigadier (retd) Madan Das likes to portray his days of service in the Indian Army. Commemorating his 35-year-long affair with the fauj, Brig Das launched his first shot at fiction, Story of Harry Singh & Sophie Kaur, in Chandigarh on Friday.
