Dhol wajda! So, there we are… foot-tapping beats and high-energy music. Punjabi songs have hit the radio and music channels, nightclubs, and now they have gained a prominent place in Bollywood as well. So much so that no Hindi film is considered complete without a peppy Punjabi number. Be it Laabh Janjua’s Soni dey nakhrey from Partner, Sukhwinder Singh’s Taapar tod naach from Tashan, Mika’s Mauja mauja from Jab We Met or lesser- known Saleem’s Dil da maamla from Heyy Babby, Punjabi music is now indispensable to the industry. Let’s hear it from the people who have raised the bar of Punjabi music. Puts in Hans Raj Hans, who began his Bollywood career with Bobby Deol and Rani Mukherjee-stareer Bicchoo, “It’s a good thing that Punjabi singers have made it to the Hindi film industry and are applauded for their work.” Hans Raj, who is singing for yet another film, Khudi Ko Kar Buland Itna, feels that it is the folk music, which in its varied form dominates the music industry. Simple wordings and high-energy level, contemporary Punjabi music is pretty popular among youngsters. The songs with all its vibrancy appeal to everyone, even those who do not understand Punjabi. Offers Punjabi singer Saleem, who has sung for Tashan and Heyy Babby, “Punjabi people believe in living life to the hilt and this philosophy is reflected in their songs, which is why the audience enjoy them so much.” According to Saleem, Punjabi songs used in Hindi films are jazzed up with modern beats and this is why they manage to make an impact on the modern generation. He adds, “Each movie has a Punjabi dance number and the audience love this kind of naach gaana in films, even if they don’t understand the words.” Yet another singer, Mika, who has made a place for himself with hits like Mauja Mauja and O Ganpat, also feels that Punjabi singers have finally got their due. “Few Punjabi singers like Daler Mehndi and Sukhwinder have managed to make a mark in the film industry dominated by Hindi music and musicians.” Mika proudly states that he now gets work as per his choice and people like whatever he does. “I don’t take look at singing in Bollywood as a new turn, it’s just an extension of something that I have always enjoyed doing, singing with passion.” At the same time Mika says there have been instances when he was asked to sing in Hindi but he stuck to his usual Punjabi rock pop style, because mostly ‘if a director takes me for a film, he wants me to deliver a very ‘Mika kinda’ song’. Mika type or Sukhiwnder style, Punjabi music has created a place for itself in Bollywood and everyone’s dancing to it as well. Taan pher, mauja hi mauja.

Simply Sensuous| SIMPLE yet elegant, traditional yet trendy, suits add oomph to your style quotient. And for all those who thought them to be oh-so-down-market, here is the latest on this evergreen attire. Talking Trend
“DONE in vibrant hues and varied patterns, suits have come a long way from that A-line, plain fabric avatar,” says Seema Sharma, a fashion designer from Impressions-19. She adds: “Suits are no more for bhenjis, they add to the sexy Indian look. And when we talk of style, suits can be stitched in so many different ways. These days anarkali suits and tunic-styled kurtis teamed with lycra pyjamas are doing the rounds on the fashion circuit.” As for designs, she says, “Layering is in. Especially when it comes to anarkalis. Designed for that stylish look, they are a mix and match of fabrics and the emphasis is on the cut. Tunic shirts can be teamed with churidars, jeans or capris. Many come embedded in lace, stones and crochet.” Talking about trends, Jyoti Sandhu, a fashion designer from Sarhali Kalan, near Amritsar, says, “The definition of fashion has changed. People wear what they like, so you cannot actually pinpoint trend. But suits are evergreen. And this season frock-type suits have become a rage with young girls.” “Kalis are definitely in,” says Simple Kaur, fashion designer from Sector-35. She adds: “Short kameez will never run out of fashion. But then anarkali shirts are really in.” Then & Now
GOING back in time, the present form suits came much later. The salwar evolved from the traditional dhoti, and the kameez is an offshoot of the tunic, worn by the foreign invaders. However, in those times, it was primarily a dress for men. But as time passed suits evolved and became the much-favourite attire. The length of the tunic varied and the excessive flair was replaced with a manageable cut of the kameez. And today we are again on the cross roads of amalgamation where anarkali suits and tunic-kurtis are making their way back into the fashion world. Big Business
MANY boutique owners boast of NRI clients. Tells Seema, “NRI clients come looking for bright colours with heavy embellishments. And most of them would settle only for the pure fabrics. They come and give bulk orders to last them till their next visit.” NRIs make for highly paying customers. “Yes, NRIs surely buy plenty of suits,” says Rajneesh Jain, proprietor, Meena Bazaar. He adds: “Inspired by Bollywood and fashion magazines our NRIs love to flaunt the latest style.” jigyasachimra@tribunemail.com |

Will they, won’t they? Ugli Aur Pagli Starring: Mallika Sherawat, Ranvir Shorey
It is the story of Kabir, a carefree guy who has been studying engineering for the past 10 years now, and a total nerd who believes he’s god’s gift to womankind. His life goes for a six when he meets the quirky and kinky Kuhu (Mallika), a violent woman who looks at love like war and doesn’t hesitate to pick up a fight with anybody. Kabir always wanted a girl to love and to make love to, but he never, in his wildest dreams, thought he would encounter a girl who could make him dance in circles, run semi-naked, ride cycles without seats, wear high heeled ladies shoes... But the funny part is they actually fall in love with each other and what we get see is one of the quirkiest love stories of the year. As Ranvir says, “This is Bollywood’s quirkiest, kinkiest, funniest romance. It’s basically a vicious love story.” It sure has all the ingredients of an unusual comic love story!

The film boasts of a radical cast and has Ranvir Shorey and Mallika Sherawat as lead actors. A Pritish Nandy Communication’s project with Ugly Aur Pagli, Sachin joins the gang of new directors who are well-rooted people. Talking about his pre-release mood Sachin says: “The mood is really positive and upbeat and I have my fingers crossed for a positive response.” About the USP of the movie he says: “The movie is short and crisp. It runs a length of two hours and 10 minutes. And apart from that it is a refreshing romantic comedy where fate brings together two characters Kabir (Ranvir Shorey) and Kuhu (Mallika Sherawat).” Ask him, does association with a big name put more pressure on him and Sachin says: “Pressure is certainly there, as the film has big names associated with it.” About his experience of working with actors like Mallika Sherawat and Ranvir Shorey, he says: “They are simply amazing. Mallika is dazzling and Ranvir is a complete thinking actor.” — Dharam Pal

Basics A BIG hit, it’s the alternate healing process like yoga, meditation and holistic healing that is catching the fancy of young and old. An age-old remedy that works without any medication, it uses body’s inherent power to heal and stay fit. A scientific method that works to restore the natural rhythm and harmony of the body, the aim of these natural practices is to build a sound body and mind. An earthy heal
YOGIC healing begins with finding the root cause. Sage Patanjali, the father of yoga, has said, ‘Nothing can be achieved without the purity of mind.’ And talking on the same line, yoga acharya Ajay, student from Gurukul Kangadi, Haridwar, who practices and teaches yoga in city says: “Yogic healing is the name given to healing practice of yoga. And it begins with understanding the body basics and the magic tools to heal almost all problems are asanas, pranayama and meditation. They are the best medicines that can help amalgamate the body, mind and soul. Helping an individual to relax, they repair the body, heal pain and calm the nerves”. Informing us more about yogic healing, he says: “Pranayama is one of the best asanas as it not only helps the oxygen to reach all organs but creates a perfect balance of the body and mind”. But he advises: “Before one does Pranayama, he/she must do it the right way otherwise it can cause harm. An hour of asanas, pranayama and meditation is enough to relieve fatigue, boost energy and uplift the spirit.” Watch what you eat
“DIET plays a great role in yogic healing,” says yoga acharya Sandeep, who teaches at the Shivanand Asharam-29 and MCM-36. Informing us about the yogic or the Sattvic diet he says: “Yogic or Sattvic diet is basically a vegetarian diet. The only difference being, here we avoid onion and garlic and tamsic food. And in this dietary pattern it is advised to eat one kind of food at one time. If you are eating pulses then avoid eating vegetables or any other supplement with it. Helping the body and mind to relax, this diet is a great stress reliever and besides providing nutrition to the body, it helps maintain body balance.” AARTI who practices holistic healing at her center Jeevan Sahaya in Sector 19 says: “Holistic healing deals with the well-being of body, mind and soul. With so much stress around, people are left with no option but to go back to basics and help themselves. It’s a trend that has caught fast and everyone is doing it”. Talking about meditation, she says: “It’s the best way to relax. Meditation helps increase blood circulation, helps in clear thinking and also helps improve relationships”. “Meditation is like a free-flowing river. You cannot force your mind to meditate. The best way to meditate is to keep quiet and find the quiet spot in the mind. Mantra chanting is another way to relax as breathing movement helps relieve stress and negate negative vibes,” says Sandeep. Ask him about the mantra chanting and he says: “Mantra chanting liberates the mind from worries and negative thoughts. Regular chanting of Om, Gayatri Mantra and Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra not only protects but purifies and heals the body.” With natural healing there is lasting freedom from pain and disease. It is said, “Dhyana (meditation) is withdrawing our senses in a systematic manner. But the purpose of yoga is not to suppress the mind; it is to explore the mind. Everything must come out: Past memories, visions of future, all your problems.” |

Memories on postcards Joyshri Lobo IT is a small piece of stiff ivory paper, just three inches long and less than two inches wide. It has become brown over the hundred years that have gone by. My father tucked it away with a few postcards that are stamped with the head of George V, Emperor, King of the British Empire and the Colonies. These areas were always coloured pink on world maps and extended over most of the continents. There are three names written on the card — Mrs Mitter, Rani Lady Harnam Singh and Bibee Amrit Kaur. The three women set out to visit someone — the card does not tell us who. They probably drove out in a curtained, horse-driven carriage because purdah was the order of the day. The writing is strong, the pen dipped into black ink from a cutglass, silver-topped inkwell. Jane Mitter, my great grandmother, was the daughter of Golaknath Chatterji, a Christian convert from Bengal. He was well-read, disowned by the family following the conversion and founder of the Golaknath clan in Punjab. He taught, preached and built a church at Jalandhar. Jane and Polly were his daughters. The former married Brij Nath Mitter, another convert and teacher from Bengal. Raja Harnam Singh, one of the scions of the Kapurthala House, fell in love with his tutor’s daughter, Polly. He too converted to Christianity, forfeiting his Sikh heritage. That is the reason why Polly introduced herself as ‘Lady Rani Harnam Singh.’ The third woman mentioned is Bibee Amrit Kaur. She became famous as ‘Rajkumari Amrit Kaur’, a close associate of Gandhi and Nehru and the first health minister of independent India. I remember her as a tall, slim, angular and slightly diffident woman. She was not beautiful but had a commanding presence, impeccable manners and was invariably welcomed in our home as a celebrity and VVIP. As custom required, she invariably covered her head with the sari pallu. Granny was overjoyed whenever ‘cousin’ Bibee visited. We children were often resentful, as the visit forced us into quietude and dignified decorum. There are four postcards from Jane to her youngest child Norma, my paternal grandmother. She wrote one daily, as I presume Norma did too. There are interesting snippets about a large household with many members and pets. “Poor Jasper is very ill with fever and liver as the vet says. I know he had fever but not liver.” The cat had kittens of which the white one with long hair was offered to Norma, who loved cats and had one called Pottifer. They always sat in her lap, making themselves useful as live hand-muffs on wintry days. Jane was treated for some ailment with “…leeches, more than 300 which made me very faint, evening before last. I am alright now…” she assured her daughter on July 1, 1909. Every now and again some old letters, cards, poems and photographs are discovered around our home. They conjure up nostalgic images and memories. Jane and Norma had a wonderful relationship. When her youngest and most beloved child married a man older by fifteen years, daily post cards bridged the great distance between a childhood home that was left behind but never forgotten (This column appears weekly) |

THEY say, when Picasso created his first version of the Guitar in 1912, it stirred confusion among his friends and contemporaries. The questions that he faced were as basic as ‘does it rest on a pedestal or does it hang on a wall?’ In other words, ‘was it a painting or a sculpture’ to which Picasso replied ‘it’s a la guitare’. A simple answer, but his guitar would always be known for the radical leap it made from traditional modelling method to the new technique of assemblage. In addition to dead nature and friends, musical instruments were his favourite theme. It was during his period of Cubisim, between 1908 and1912, that he painted Girl With A Mandolin. This oil on canvas, which is part of the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York, features a nude girl holding a mandolin whose figure comes to form many squares, cubes, rectagles and other geometrical shapes. That’s Pablo Picasso and two of his famous works. But musical instruments as a theme has motivated many a artists. One can see Indian musical instruments like sitar and tanpura in miniature paintings, specially in the Rag Mala series of Mughal School of Miniatures.
Talk of Chandigarh, and we have seen Madan Lal’s extensive works on musical instruments, which he painted bewteen 2005 and 2007. But, it will be wrong to look for a conventional musical instrument in Madan’s paintings. He believes in celebrating life in all its forms and music is part of that celebrations. So, his music comes from within which he represents through some symbolic forms. “For me, music is as liberating as it is binding for the soul. Because, music comes from within and surrounds you with its aura. So, I choose my instrument in sync with the body rhythm,” he says. Most of Madan’s works are executed in acrylic and some in water colour. The recent one to join the league is Michelangelo Francis who teaches art at St. John’s High School-26. Using crayons, Francis has painted a series of classic guitar, Balalaika, (Russian lute), harp, bouzouki (Greek lute) mandolin, viola and banjo. But Francis’ instrument also come with a touch of the abstract as his portrayl of the instruments that come in a form of a composition, where the top and bottom halves are shown separateley. If you are wondering why that, then Francis explains, “This is to keep the proportions of the instruments intact and also to break the monotony of the frame.” He now plans to continue painting few more on woodwind and percussion instruments before he puts them up for public viewing. But, why this obsession with musical instruments? “I am an artist as well as a musician. So it’s a delight to capture both the entities of my being in a singular art form.” Different minds, different logic. Whatever may be the resaon that triggers their creativity, we get to see some spectaculart art, which fills our soul with pure melody. parbina@tribunemail.com |

HERE comes Chandigarh’s very own independent film festival Chhota Mooh Badi Baat, which showcases the cinema of courage and spirit of activism. The festival will see the screening of 16 award-winning films that have been hand picked by the festival curator Dr. Gaurav Chhabra. Picked from various parts of the country and from various film festivals all over India these films are much beyond the realms of Bollywood, portraying the voices of commoners, voices and acts that will make you look, think and act. The festival is dedicated to a common man and will see no chief guest, no reservation of VIP seats and no entry pass. Organised by Humlog in collaboration with Chandigarh tourism and STEPS, Gaurav Chhabra, says: “Through this event we intend to show meaningful cinema to the public and also motivate them to create such media.” About the logo used for the festival, he says: “it consists of a visual illustration of the ‘Open Hand Monument’ of Chandigarh and a small format camera along with the title, Chhota Mooh Badi Baat partly in Hindi and partly in English. The logo tends to convey a common man’s hand empowered with the power of independent media of low budget films.” Also, the title of the festival Chhota Mooh Badi Baat, symbolises the nature of the films. How short films, made on small budgets can convey meaningful messages, is what it means. “The reason to keep the title in a mixture of Hindi and English is to convey the openness to various languages in the films from all over the country,” adds Gaurav. The logo was unveiled on Thursday by theatre and film personalities G.S Channi and Harleen Kohli. The festival begins on August 1 to August 3 at Chandigarh Museum Auditorium, Sector 10.

WHAT do Jodi No 1, Bicchoo, Heyy Baby, Veer Zaara, Jab We Met, Rang De Basanti, Hum Tum, Partner, Bend It Like Beckham, Monsoon Wedding, Tashan and Singh is King have in common? Yes, these are all hit multi-starrers from Bollywood. One more connection — all these films have a close connection to Punjabi music. In fact, all these movies have at least one hit Punjabi number sung by a known or a lesser-known Punjabi singer.
WE have all heard of soft, romantic, comic love stories. One expects the boy and girl to behave in a certain manner as romance comes with certain notions attached to it, but in this film, you will find this unique couple, Ranvir and Mallika, redefine those notions. So, get set for a love story with a punch, a thud and some serious arm-twisting thrown in with zero bedside manners. 
Starring:
Brendan Fraser, Jet Li, Maria Bello, John Hannah, Michelle Yeoh
The multiplex boom has allowed new directors to make movies that appeal to the urban viewer. And adding his name to the list of new filmmakers, Sachin Khot, a prominent face behind the camera who has directed serials like Shanti, Kagaar, and Nazdikiyan has moved on to direct films. After conquering the small screen, he is all set to sizzle the silver screen with his Bollywood directorial debut, a romantic comedy with kinkiest punches and thuds, Ugly Aur Pagli. 
ROTATOR cuff is a group of four muscles that help in shoulder movement. Rotator cuff injury occurs due to falling, result of repetitive movements or high velocity overhead motion (throwing).
