Pampered paws
They are more than pets. In fact, they are more than family members. So, don’t be surprised if you get invited to a birthday party of someone called Puggy or come across a Facebook profile of a pug named Eddy Rally
There was a time when petting a dog served a purpose—protection. Though these animals still serve a purpose, the realms of it have inverted. As dogs become less of a pet and more of a family member, there are some in Tricity who take time out and go the extra mile to look after the apple of their eyes and make them feel special. And, why not? If we can spend time and money on all other family members, why not your best friend? We speak to some of these proud dog owners…
A cultural outing
This time it’s the North in its complete glory which is being captured at the

Notes of remembrance
An age-defying singer is timeless, indeed. Having been a producer for Marathi shows and Bhojpuri movies, Shashi Khanna decided to cut an album of Punjabi songs and explore a new and soulful side to her life. In Chandigarh on Saturday for the launch of her first album, Nach Di Ve Main Nach Di, Khanna says the six-song album is dedicated truly to her late son Vikas Khanna. “He was a very famous child artiste in Bollywood, having worked with the likes of Rajesh Khanna and
Jitendra.
Fashionable lanes
Offering collectibles, cars, accessories and of course, apparels, the Indian Luxury Expo is sure a delight to visit…
While luxury never really rubbed shoulders with crowds, it needed patrons to exist nevertheless. Exclusive exhibitors bring in limited buyers. Call it a good thing, call it a bad thing. No swarming crowds, no cramped stalls, no parking woes. Together they can perhaps offset the fact that there is not plenty to choose from. The Indian Luxury Expo debuts in Punjab (Chandigarh to be precise) with all the luxury names promised in tow. Only the footfalls were amiss. Crowds? Shares Karan Bhangay, founder-director, already high on the editions of Hyderabad, Mumbai and Pune, “With Chandigarh, we test waters in Punjab, and get to read the market and what really ticks here.”

Meet the Barbie girl
After Priyanka and Parineeti Chopra, Barbie Handa aka Mannara is the latest Chopra girl to enter Bollywood. She is all set to make her Bollywood debut with Anubhav Sinha’s Zid. She talks about the film, her role and more.
Being Mannara: My real name is Barbie Handa. I want to grow up a little and move from Barbie to Mannara. Mannara is a Greek name, meaning something that shines. And, of course, we all want to shine in our respective professions. Anubhav sir (the film’s producer) felt I should change my name. Even Priyanka agreed. Mannara was the right name because Anubhav sir wanted the name to start with the letter ‘M’ because he is a big fan of Madhuri Dixit. So am I.
