To see or not to see...
WhatsApp decided to let you know if your message has been read by blue ticks. Twitter went abuzz. So did some Chandigarh youngsters
 It's true. Your cover on WhatsApp has been blown. Try telling her 'I did not see the
message'. Go ahead, try. We dare you.
The widely used instant messaging application, WhatsApp, has decided to further complicate modern relations by turning those little grey ticks blue when your message has been read by the receiver.
As jokes about relationships being at serious risk now float on social media, we get Chandigarh youngsters to speak their mind.
The blue ticks have become a cause for

Straight to the goal post
While B-town is in a mood to court biopics, the well intentioned film-makers grab the opportunity to put the spotlight on stories that ought to be narrated and lives that should have been celebrated.
It could be a hockey hero, a chequered life, a sports icon, a brave heart…anyone.
Upcoming Hindi film Prithipal Singh brings to the fore the life of Indian field hockey player Prithipal Singh. Very few know about the life of deadliest penalty corner specialist of his generation.

History in the making
Yes, they say, in history
lies all the secrets of statecraft. And if it is a chapter that has been a
part of your growing up; a chapter that you often go back to for
inspiration, a chapter that has been presented sensitively and beautifully
on the silver screen…then of course this history is worth a watch. After
a long, in fact a very long time, comes an animation film, Chaar
Sahibzaade, which will go down in history as a grand affair. Directed by Harry Baweja,
the animation film is the story of sacrifice and valour of four sons of
Guru Gobind Singh — Sahibzaada Ajit Singh, Sahibzaada Jujhar Singh,
Sahibzaada Zorawar Singh and Sahibzaada Fateh Singh.

While the walls got talking at the second edition of Sprite Till I Die, a competition comprising three main sections, including dance, art and music, as many as seven graffiti artists painted the walls of the dry pool at the University on the theme, Teen spirit and youth, an eight-hour long competition.

Piku’s story
Shoojit Sircar, director of movies like Yahaan, talks about Piku which is his next film starring Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan and
Irrfan.
Name game: Piku is an unusual name for a girl. It's her nickname. But everyone calls her
Piku, which is common with Bengalis. It's a cute, unisex name, apt for Deepika's
(Padukone) character.
