Rustic allure
There was Chaiya Chaiya and then followed Nimboora, Jugni or Challa…folk songs have enjoyed prominence in Bollywood movies. Rajasthani folk songs have remained the industry's favourite, Punjabi being a close second.

The art of learning
When dancer-choreographer Navtej Johar works, be it his productions or the vocations he juggles in, boundaries cease to exist. The Bhartanatyam exponent came calling to the very city from where he started his journey on the invite of the Sangeet Natak Akademi and Sanjh Jagori to be part of Men Engage Towards Creative Equality.

Driver—maximise distance
The distance the ball travels after being hit with a driver is a combination of carry (flight) and roll. If the fairway is hard, the ball would roll and therefore we would like to have a ball which has less backspin so that it could roll more. If the fairways are wet and soft, we would need a ball which apart from high launch, has a higher rate of backspin so that it carries the furthest. Golfers, who hit a draw, have a lower backspin rate and therefore would require a driver which gives them a little more backspin which could make their ball carry more. Golfers, who tend to slice the ball, have a higher rate of backspin caused by a steep angle of approach and therefore have less roll. They would need a driver which has less backspin, so that the ball could roll more.

It's lonely out there
It was sad, a few days back, waking up to the news that Robbin Williams, the renowned Hollywood actor had committed suicide. The cause was depression. I wondered, people who the world dotes on, the die hard fans who would do anything to get a glimpse of their favourite star, die lonely lives...Those whose hands people would die to hold, die wanting to hold a hand...
