No holds bar
The best way we know to unwind is over a glass of wine or whisky. And, when you have the famous Patiala peg for company, who wants to compromise on the ambience? Since it is about inviting fun, relaxation and some entertainment, what better place than home? Say, your own private bar space. Call it an essential home design element or your own 'chill out zone', the city seems to be hung up on home bars.
From country western themes to island retreats, and include everything from neon signs to exquisite works of art, home bars are everything inspired from a nightclub, lounge or professional bar. Of course, a personal touch can be added with your on creativity. Sandeep Bhargava, a city-based businessman wanted his private bar, simple and straight, fit for a home. And he got exactly that. "It's nothing like a hardcore bar, with no display of bottles outside and minus the string of glasses hanging upside. Its not flashy, but very private," he says. It has a classy look done in stones and wood, in straight lines. Giving the due that a bar deserves, a hint of glamour is provided by the glass mosaic tiles. The contemporary yet sophisticated bar stocks best liquor brands, without any over-the-top display. Not much of a wine person, he has a limited collection of whiskeys, a good collection of bar glasses, which he himself picks up. "The bar is not high on accessories, I kept it simple for the reason that the space is not just for drinking but a lounging area used by everyone in the family and so they need to be comfortable. It is not over the top," he adds. Now, some like it simple but others like it the Punjabi way. More than the idea of having a private bar, what makes it special is the way you put it together. Soharabjit Singh, a retired police officer, just doesn't have his own personal bar but has it in style. With a collection of imported wines and whiskies, a collection of accessories like a strainer, double jigger and a speed pourer. He has imported most of the accessories from abroad. "The idea of a home bar used to be cabinets design like bars or a shelf dedicated to your lifetime collection of bottles. But it has got better with time. I look out for adding more too my shelf," said Singh. So, now you will need cocktail glasses, martini shakers and strainer, shot glasses, mixers, bar tools and a blender to complete your home bar design. The stainless steel accessories are enough to add the designer appeal and something to raise a peg to. Further the add ons complete the feel with Swiss knives, cutters and crystal ashtrays. Kamaldeep Singh Balli, another designer bar fan has a mix or traditional and contemporary elements. The horseback style bar chairs and cartwheels as accessories, the bar looks rugged yet well equipped with "The space is fully utilised every weekend when I have my friends over for a cocktail party or a boy's night out. It's my favourite corner of the house and the most creative one as well." Well, for anyone who likes to be in high spirits without the hassles of passing out when its time to pay the bill, then a designer bar is good suggestion. And, just for some personalised touch, how about some sport signs, liquor signs and novelty signs. nehawalia@tribunemail.com |

Sound of music
Amidst standing ovation and much-deserved adulations as the evergreen king of melody and comedy K Deep was being bestowed with the PTC Lifetime Achievement Award-2010 at a glittering ceremony, the nostalgic memories of school days visited his intrusive mind. Known as the mouth or vocal orchestra of the school, the class teacher used to make him stand on a stool and reproduce live the musical sound of various instruments. This is his forte even today.
Six years back, at an international music fest in Norway, he surprised the crowd, including legendary Mehdi Hasan, with his vocal orchestra and also singing a soulful Shiv Batalvi number and emulated Mehdi Hasan singing ghazals. "Not only Mehdi but the High commissioners of different countries lauded my musical versatility.” On the prestigious PTC channel award presented by singer-actor Gurdas Mann, he calls it the love of the people. Along with his late wife Jagmohan Kaur, better known as Posti and Mai Mohno, they had been entertaining the people with programmes like Radio Jhootistan and songs like Baba ve kla maarod, Nachan mein Ludhiane and many more, which have virtually become folk songs in Punjab. Credited with over 100 albums with playback and acting stint in many films like Daaj, Mutiar, Santo Banto and some Hindi numbers, when the couple was at the prime of their popularity cruel death of Jagmohan broke the partnership in life and art. Born at Rangoon, raised in Punjab, a qualified civil engineer now having residential set ups in Vancouver, Mumbai and Ludhiana, Deep is busy in making documentaries and holding concerts. The first to record Shiv Kumar Batalvi on HMV another music company Indian Records is bringing out his latest album of eight songs shortly. lifestyle@tribunemail.com |

Aditya Narayan, who is set to make his silver screen debut in a lead role with Shaapit next week, says he is wants to experiment with all kind of genres in the film industry. “I want to experiment with all kind of films, from romance to comedy to horror to thriller. The only thing that matters to me as an actor is that the script should be appealing and strong. I can mould myself into any character,” Aditya told. The singer-turned-actor will be seen opposite newcomer Shweta Agarwal in Shaapit, directed by Vikram Bhatt. “An actor must have the convincing power to capture the minds of the audience. Like Aamir’s character of ‘Rancho’ in 3 Idiots and SRK’s character in My Name is Khan. The character must be strong enough to make the audience believe in it,” the 22-year-old said. The romantic-horror film, releasing on March 19, revolves around a young girl, Kaaya (Shweta) who is trapped in a generational curse making her love life distressful with her fiance Aman (Aditya) who vows to conquer this curse. Aditya, son of veteran singer Udit Narayan, is keen on working with Bollywood biggies and idolises megastar Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan. — PTI

Slow but steady
Johnson Thomas Three films have crawled out of the Bollywood stable this week despite the onslaught of the IPL. Right Yaa Wrong is Sunny's comeback vehicle of sortsand Na Ghar Ka Na Ghat Ka is about a dehati from the hinterland shifting to big bad Mumbai and his experiences thereof. Not high on expectation, this lot — but not as bad as I thought it would be either. Right Yaa Wrong was the surprise packet, while Na Ghar Ka Na Ghat Ka's rustic flavour is quite likely to get the northern belt interested. Right combinations
Film: Right Yaa Wrong Cast: Sunny Deol, Irfan Khan, Konkana Sen Sharma, Isha Koppikkar Director: Neeraj Pathak The Jatt Munda makes a stirring comeback with this film. Ajay Sridhar (Sunny) gets shot and we are transferred to the past where Ajay and Vinay (Irrfan) are best buddies while working in the Goan Police force. Ajay who is married to Anahita (Isha) is given to fits of fury while the unmarried Vinay is far more analytical, levelheaded and systematic. After getting shot by gangster Borris (Aryan Vaid), Ajay is paralysed and wants to end his life. He seeks the support of Anahita and his stepbrother Sanjay (Arav Choudhary). They are only too eager to help him because they have been carrying on as a couple behind Ajay's back. Everything is set in motion and at the final hour, it is Anahita and Sanjay who get killed instead. Vinay heads the investigation, Ajay has a rock solid alibi and the drama that ensues thereon takes over the second half entirely. Konkana Sen Sharma makes her presence felt in a solid role as Vinay's lawyer sister who chooses to support Ajay. Irfan's character is perfectly laid out adding teeth to the well-knit mystery while Sunny is equally compelling. The characters have solid growth curves, the logic makes sense up to a point, the dialogues are well written and the narrative is smart and effective. Neeraj Pathak has done great job for sure and the audience is not likely to be disappointed. Clueless chaos
Film: Na Ghar Ka Na Ghat Ka Cast: Rahul Agarwal, Naryani Shastri, Om Puri, Paresh Rawal Director: Rahul Agarwal Devki Nandan Tripathi (Rahul Agarwal) is a naïve, innocent villager who comes to Mumbai to work in the Department of Metrology. All his life he has been bullied around by a despotic father Sankanand Tripathi (Om Puri) and even after marriage to Mithileshji Kumar (Narayani Shastri), he is not allowed to have any say in his life. It's a different matter that he shacks up with a goonda Kachak (Ravi Kishen) and gets to experience a slightly darker side of the city thereof. Of course, when father dear gets to see his son's lodgings and the company he keeps, he sees red! The entire film depends on that very reaction to give the narrative some steam but it doesn't work out that way. The writing is pretty weak and the dialogues though liberally dipped in rustic crudity fails to strike the right chord. It's a fish out of water story but the humorous moments are too far apart. We just never get to know why Devki is so clueless about life. We just have to take the director and scriptwriter at their word-which appears to be tall order when we cannot even empathise with what Devki is going through. The cop (Paresh Rawal) is the sole representative of all that is negative in the police today. It's a generic role and Paresh fails to find anything distinct enough to highlight through his performance. Ravi Kishen is loud enough and in direct contrast Rahul Agarwal is marsh mellow soft. Yet the two fail to bring out the subtleties in their differing personas. Om Puri's traditional man-of-the-house person is more believable but even that is hampered by uncharacteristic dialogues. This is not a very happening movie for the citified audience but the dehati crowd is sure to find some purchase because of having experienced or heard of similar situations. The strong community sentiment and the distinctive dehati flavour that the dialogues impart will be an added incentive to them! Johnsont307@gmail.com |

Some cricketainment!
The only place where Indians (we agree exceptions are there) reach on time is a movie show (especially the late night ones), reality show auditions (we have heard they reach a day in advance as well), and needless to say a cricket match! And, when the match in question is IPL Kings XI vs Delhi Daredevils, what can you expect.
Here it goes. parking chaos, over excited boys and girls (boys outnumber girls), girls in their Saturday best, hooting and cheering, harassed cops, pan cake kissed faces, and of course, a lot of adrenaline pumping. It is the home team playing against Delhi champs. Red would of course be the colour of the evening. Rather, a happening evening. The crow swelled, well in advance, around 4 pm to secure a place for themselves in the stands (only if they are lucky and can brave the harrowing interrogation of the vigilant cops). Mohali, Chandigarh, Patiala, Ropar, Banur, Panchkula, Muktsar, it was a heterogeneous crowd, all set for a great cheering. For once they didn't mind a pull here and there, till they got to see the cricketers in action. From the labyrinth of the crowd, we took a plunge (it is a literal plunge) inside the stadium. A jam-packed one. Placards, slogans, graffiti tees, balloons, banners, weird caps, hats, face paints, the crowd was loaded with the material for cheering. If Yuvi Tusi Great found a place on a huge placard, Sreesanth Chak de Phatte shined on another poster. A group of friends cheered for the Kings XI team in red tees and red bandanas. Need we say, cricket drives even a sane person to a frenzy? Add to it, Preity Zinta in red salwar kameez on the field. It isn't just about cricket, for the Season 3 IPL has promised to offer tones of entertainment. Bringing it live at PCA Stadium are the IPL Rock stars. A raised platform one up with zoom lights. And here comes the girl in green and red salwar kameez bejeweled with traditional jewellery welcoming the crowd at Mohali. 'Hello Mohali, Kidaan', cheers Hard kaur, hosting the IPL Rock stars. It was the famous Jai Ho singer Sukhwinder Singh, the sufi maestro Kailash Khe, judges of the show. Kailash's mesmersing number Deewane that opened the show, with the contestants following. Harshdeep, Sumedha (Aaj ki Raat) treated the audience to some great numbers. The winner was definitely the Ek Glassi girl, Hard Kaur and her Punjabi accent. This one sure is a power packed cricketainment!! jasmine@tribunemail.com Sidelights Give me a smile
In the backdrop of large screen and the crease, a number of fans, PCA stadium is the best place to take snapshots! Why not, someone who braved through the extensive security checks needs to be back with lot of stories and a photo to validate, 'Hey, I finally made it to the IPL.' Pretty girls strike a pose; cool dudes say cheers to the camera. Time for photo sessions at the stadium. Look who is here
Looking for some celebs? Here, we just saw one, Ayushman Khurrana interviewing the cricketers before the match. You bet, the girls couldn't stop hooting. But, our man here knows how to overcome hurdles like these. Lounge area
Who can debate on this, life ban jaati hai, if you have privilege of watching a cricket match from a VIP lounge. Snacks, a good view, no struggle to find the right angle from the over crowded stands. Cricket dekhney kaa asli maza to lounge main hi aata hai! What say loungers? Eat cricket, drink cricket
Enjoy fours and sixes as you bite into sandwich and nice crispy chips from those selling them on the stands. Dhol wajda
It is a match between the Kings XI Punjab team, and how is it possible that we don't have the dhamaal of dhol. The audiences did baley baley to the sound. Cricket is musical and rocking. Ferrying too
It is cricket and everyone is invited. Hear about the bus social service. We saw something like this at the PCA. Buses (private) ferrye people from various sectors to the venue. Kya baat

Pop star Shakira has difficulties settling down in one place as she is used to being constantly on the move like a “gypsy” due to her work commitments. The Hips Don’t Lie hitmaker, who is engaged to lawyer Antonio de la Rua, is forced to live a nomad’s life due to the nature of her profession. “It’s how I live my life, like a nomad. Ever since I became famous, I’m constantly travelling, which is great as I get to see so many different cultures and traditions. But I definitely live like a gypsy!” said Shakira. The 33-year-old singer asked tennis champion Rafael Nadal to star alongside her in her latest video Gypsy because he can relate to her travelling lifestyle. “I wanted someone I identified with and knew what it was like to constantly travel the world. Nadal is like me, he started his career young, has fought battles and moves around from place to place. Also it helps that he is good-looking as that makes it nicer for me,” said the singer. — PTI

Screen presence
Hollywood star Matt Damon claims that his children do not know that he is a movie star as they are used to seeing themselves on screen as a result of new technology. “The little ones don’t have any idea - we’re trying to keep it that way. It’s more and more possible now with the prevalence of video cameras and technology, iPhones and BlackBerrys. Kids are used to seeing their own images on screens,” said Damon. — PTI |

Hard times
Hollywood actress Mischa Barton, whose career has been hit by a downturn, has put her sprawling Beverly Hills mansion up for sale for USD 8.4 million. The OC actress seems to have fallen on hard times after claims that she did not have enough money to pay the rent of her New York apartment surfaced. The 24-year-old, who is trying to restart her flagging career with a role as a pregnant prostitute in a TV series, is selling the Tuscan villa-style home and plans to move permanently to New York.
The 7,600 sq ft house is in an exclusive gated community and has six bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, a swimming pool, terrace and spa. Barton bought the mansion for USD 6.4 million in 2005, when she was starring in the hit US TV show The OC. The sale comes after reports emerged in January that she was being sued for three months of unpaid rent on her New York apartment. Barton signed the one-year lease last September while she filmed TV series The Beautiful Life, but the programme was cancelled after just two shows. — PTI |

Not so vain!
It's too much for the eye to take in at one go and there's no count of the number of stalls dealing in suits, indo-western, western, ethnic wear, jewellery, bags, belts, scarves, wrought iron, wooden furniture, semi precious and precious jewellery, sarees, tunics, paintings, garden accessories, gift ideas, linen and footwear! A quick recee and here's a guide to avoid getting lost in the similar looking stalls, even more similar sounding names. Strongly recommended for shopping aficionados, who wouldn't mind driving a couple of kilometers, meandering through the sidetracks, negotiating their way through fields just to get the variety in appliqué work. Once in, it's clearly for those looking forward to spend a lazy day shopping by the pool, under the willows, beside the gardens. Majority if the displays come from Tricity, Delhi and Ludhiana, a couple of them from Mumbai, we did spot one from Moradabad, Mysore and Kolkata each. There's Delhi- based The Art Treasure, displaying huge artworks, mainly landscapes. "We have professional artistes that make for us but it's not signature art," says the lady over the counter. However, be ready to shell out around Rs 25,000. Garden artifacts, accessories galore. Think fire pits, garden animals, lanterns, tiles, lanterns, garden butterflies, leisure furniture, umbrellas, candle holders, silk flowers and foliage, gazebos, swings…Says Supreet, one of the exhibitors, of garden sculptures, "I deal in 180 types of stones and it's all natural stone." For the exhibits from far flung places, there was Spazio from Mumbai dealing in, what else, home linen. "This is for the first time we have displayed at this exhibition." Then Festivo from Moradabad dealing in lifestyle products in stainless steel and yes, Saira from Lahore, dealing in Pakistani footwear. Thrown in the attractions were hair braiding, an eco-friendly market place and tarot card reader as well. Apart from the broad segment of garden ware, prêt and couture, accessories, furniture and home accessories, artifacts, paintings and prints, little interesting tit bits abound. Think random knick-knacks, lamp with an inbuilt fountain, Buddha paintings, wall graphics, party décor, gift wrap options, foil balloons…-Manpriya Khurana On till today at Whispering Willows, Country Retreat, Zirakpur.

Music from the East
Rhythm and percussion came into form before the musical forms in vocal or instrumental, claims Madhusudan and Gopal Barman, popularly known as Barman Bandhus. In the city on the invitation of the Pracheen Kala Kendra for a performance at the Bhaskar Rao Nritya and Sangeet Sammelan, they maintained that the rhythm is the soul of any musical composition or performance. Having inherited the virtues of music from their father, late Barender Mohan Barman and later learnt from Sri Bimal Roy. While Gopal specialises in the intricacies of Sreekhol under the tutelage of Sanatan Saha of Rabindra Bahrti University Madhusdan has mastered the finer nuances of tabla under tabla wizard Shanker Ghosh. Together they are a fine combination of verve and versatility. With the globalisation impact, the sharing of knowledge and information has become useful to know the tal patterns of different musical traditions. Even the seminars or sammelans contribute to awareness. For instance, our lead tal instrument "Sreekhol" is not better known, while tabla is, as both are the popular percussion instruments of Indian folk classical music, says Gopal. Indian classical music is sublime and melody dominates while harmony and variety of rhythmic patterns embellishes the Western music, he adds. Art lovers relish variety, which they provide by creating coupling and contrasts of rhythmic patterns. Credited with memorable concerts for National Television Japan, BBC and Garnada TV UK, Belgium and others, their classic Swaal -Jawwab spectacle remained a hit. Termed as the most sensational and promising musicians from the younger generations, the Barman bothers experiment in forging an alliance between the Western Jazz, Indian Folk and classical music.

As many as 42 children presented the play Main Aurat Hoon on Sukhna Lake on Saturday. The play written by Bhoopinder Walia is a satire on double standards of society that on one side worships goddesses Saraswati, Durga and Lakshmi and on the other indulges in as heinous a crime as female foeticide. Directed by DS Gupt and assisted by Amar Jyoti took three weeks of preparation with the students of DAV Public School -39."In our society men bank so much on women's advice in every field but in the private they want to rule over them. The play presents this side of the Indian psyche," says Gupt. "The play was a wonderful experience with kids who showed immense dedication and confidence," adds Gupt — Mona

Devender Sheoran, age 24, is from Bhiwani, Haryana. He came to Chandigarh six years ago to pursue his college education and has made Chandigarh his home since then. He interacts with a wide spectrum of city folks, has many friends and loves to hang out at the PU campus and the club. My interview follows: What do you think about the people of Chandigarh? People are mostly educated here. They have a refined way of speaking, different from where I come from. They have influenced my own style of personal interaction, taught me to be polite and courteous. What do you like about the city? Chandigarh has a very high standard of living. People spend a lot to live life the way they want. They don't repress their desires. Khulke jeete hein. What is the food you like to eat here? PU canteen's rajma chawla. What is a perfect Sunday for you? A day when I begin my day with some exercise, cook my own breakfast and get to read without any disturbance. Any new place you have been to lately?
