REMINISCENCES
 A
teacher looks back
Chandigarh
He is creative but not a
daydreamer. As Principal of Sector 10 DAV College, Dr R. C. Jeevan is
hardly left with any time to live in a world of make-believe. But
occasionally he thinks of an advertisement on the television in which
students honour the outgoing head of an institution. His students, even
the staff, have the same kind of respect for him.

Chandigarh
has always been a favourite haunt for Delhi-based singer Shankar Sawhney,
who is all set to rock the world of Punjabi pop with yet another music
album titled, ‘Kudiyaan’. After the success of ‘Kudi Kurmuri’
and ‘Yaari Yaari’, released over the past two years, this one comes
with a promise of serious melody, in that it transcends the world of pop
to experiment with a blend of Punjabi folk and Sufi gayaki.
