Man, machine…mountains!
Give them a smooth and easy way of life, and they would definitely barter it for anything that fits into adventure and challenge. Give them a tarmac road and they would move like a civilised driver, but on dirt tracks expect them to race their machine to 80kmph! We might not be able to understand their passion, but for the winners of Maruti Suzuki Raid De Himalaya 2011 nothing tastes sweeter than dirt, gravel, speed and the winning podium. Let's hear their side of the story.
Never say never again
"At one leg I was running 23 minutes late, a time gap which can cost any driver a position. I did not let the time or any other factor bother me. I only prayed that my gypsy did not break down and it didn't," laughs the champ from Team Thunderbolt, which came third last year. Harpreet is all set to challenge himself in the upcoming event Desert Storm 2012. "My mantra of life is simple, never say never again."
Keep rolling
Team effort

Time factor
So, the challenge is pretty much clear - to keep stock of the time, adjust the speed of gypsy and last but not the least ensure that I survive throughout the rally," shares

Remembering dad
Kardashian, 30, who married the basketball player in a lavish Californian ceremony in August, finds it "really hard" to think her dad — who passed away in 2003 aged 59 — will never be able to spend time with her husband. "That's really hard... that he'll never get to meet my husband or my children," she said.
Kardashian admits her father, who died eight weeks after being diagnosed with esophageal cancer, was very private about his illness. "I wish we knew a little more about the disease. My dad didn't really want to tell anyone he was sick. He wouldn't even tell his parents he was sick. He didn't tell them until like a week before he passed away," she added. — PTI

Mood swings
There was some wry humour. "Perhaps, I'm a big influence on kids. Anything I do in any film gets a lot of attention. If I'm shown smoking, I draw flak for it." The next few minutes saw Shahrukh at his marketing best. "RA.One is a film that people of all age groups can watch together and enjoy. It has action sequences that match up to those of Hollywood." This was followed by a bit of moralising, albeit in a tautological mode. "Bad is not good. That's what the film reiterates," the actor said. Later, there was some philosophising. "Celebrities have their own style of interacting with their fans. Some clam up and act snooty. Others build a protective wall around themselves. But I subscribe to humility. I thank God for having given me this opportunity…" he trailed off. As a Bollywood ambassador, Shahrukh said the film industry was a respectable place. "The industry is fine for women, provided we leave aside the gossip columns. If my daughter, who's still 11, decides to be an actress some day, I would not have any objection," he added

Gyan Zone
The Monsoon in Blue by Pramod Arya with a dimension of 6X6 feet seem larger than life. On the adjoining wall, the work is in stark contrast from this one. It’s just about 1.5X 1 feet and there are no colours, just beautiful doodling in black ink by RP Verma, who aptly titled it Random Thoughts, while Pramod’s wall-sized painting is splashed with colours. Hues of blue occupy most of the space, leaving some at the bottom where use of earthy shades indicates rain water mixing in soil. And there are several such contrasts that are part of the painting exhibition assembled by Neepa Shrama, an art curator and consultant.
If there are works by Madan Lal, who has displayed his artworks often in the city, there are by Gauri Sharma, who hasn’t showcased her works for quite some time. If Mukesh, a student artist of the Government College of Art, has his works here, there are also a few by established names like Anand Shende and Raj Kumar. “I consciously picked up diverse works for the exhibition, so that there is something for every art lover,” says Neepa. In total, 64 paintings, seven sculptures by 10 artists are part of the exhibition. Neepa also chose artists who haven’t displayed their work in the city lately. “As they didn’t find a suitable market in the city, they started selling works in other cities.” So, when she approached the likes of Gauri Sharma and Raj Kumar, they happily obliged. The latter’s work is also the costliest at Rs 3 lakhs. “He didn’t want to compromise on the pricing but the detailing of his paintings justify the same,” says Neepa. Rajendra’s Kumar trilogy of work doesn’t fail to catch the eye. As the titles suggest, Rainy Day, Golden Sun and Autumn, these are in the hues of blue, orange and yellow. Anand Shinde’s figurative work is about Maharashtrian faces. Besides Madan Lal’s Bull series, the exhibition has on display his new works, titled Urban Emotions that captures has objects that interest an urban woman. (On at Museum and Art Gallery till October 23)

Nature’s best
“I put up my first photography exhibition in 1998 and experimented with landscapes. This time, I’ve worked on the theme of nature,” says Sanjay. A click that portrays a half-eaten leaf against sunlight comes with a small note—One half you took of me, the withering other I hold close to left what is. Another note — A page torn from the diary of God the barn, look beyond closely, it’s not that hard is below a click that shows tall trees and a bed of lush green leaves beneath. Sanjay has captured beautiful forests of Himachal Pradesh. We wonder why there a stanza of poetry with every click! “This is because poetry and photography for me are like husband and wife. I’m also into composing poems,” shares Sanjay. A walk along the frames show intricate details such as spider webs, pebbles on a leaf, dew drops settled on the leaves, algae and lichens on the rocks; falling and withering leaves…the colours are so bright and fresh that one can feel nature with their eyes! Shares Sanjay, “I think there is beauty in decaying too and when clicking on the field, I often wonder how perfect nature is.” Sanjay, who is from Panchkula, puts up a show once a year. What is the message? “Every human being loves nature and most of us don’t realise that there is so much to explore. I want to awaken those people so that they can see nature with a different perspective.” (On till October 23) sabiatalwar@tribunemail.com

Solo notes
Focusing on what sells and what is liked by the audience, his music he says is ‘different.’ “If the audience demands a certain type of music, the singers should be able to comply with it,” he says. Music is not only about song and dance today, it is now turning out to be a revenue cruncher. “The days when companies would pay singers have finished. Today, talking out an album is talking lots of money,” he adds. Working alongside Pooja has been an enriching experience for this singer. “It is just a matter of chance that she sang her first song with me, which is till date a hit,” he says. Trying to build a brand of his own is the main reason for the album launch. With ten tracks in total, mostly shot in Canada. “It is impossible to find locations in Chandigarh for videos. Canada is a great spot,” he says. If the voice is good, there is no doubt it will do well in the industry!

Celeb point
I have always picked up my roles very intuitively, and I knew this one worked beautifully! The role of a C grade filmstar, who lost the race, who is wacky, crazy, naughty and sexy. Yes, emotional too. A lot for an actor to play with. I was told initially Manisha Koirala was to do that role but since she was getting married, I became the chosen one! Shooting with Smita Patil’s son Pratiek was an interesting experience. Very vulnerable looking and very shy. And as always, the talkative me had to break the ice as we had lot of fun scenes together! I started my tests for the film and I realised why everything in a Bhansali film looks so beautiful. Special care is taken for your look. I was given a special retro look. My first day of shoot was in South Mumbai. It was a night scene and I was drunk. The scene has been applauded by everyone as the highlight of the film. I got the lines and I wanted to add some nuances which director Raghav was very happy with. In one shot I said something and Prateik cracked up laughing. For the first time I saw the shy boy laughing like that! How did you manage it madam? Assistant director asked. The drunken scene was a fun journey! Three days back, I saw the film with the entire crew, including Prateik, Kalki and Raghaav. The first screening of your film always brings along memories attached to each scene! I was smiling. It sure was a super fun ride. When we got out, the super talented Sunidhi Chauhan hugged me...she said it was the best drunken act she had ever seen. She was clearly moved and so was I, with her response. The critics and the people have been gracious to me, calling it a stand-out performance! A journalist asked—how did you manage your drunken act? Did you drink? I saw my mother standing in the corner, smiling and I said, “I am high on life!” (Dutta is a Bollywood actor)

He can pass off as any other restless youngster wanting to do something different in life. Talking to him changes your perception, as fast as he shifts gears of his winning gypsy! Harpreet Singh Bawa holds the overall second position in his category Xtreme T1, and you bet he hasn't won it with a simple adrenaline rush. "Maruti Suzuki Raid De Himalaya is a dicey affair. The participants can't think of making through the arduous stretches with plain passion. Machine and the drivers understanding of the machine plays an important role in this rally," shares Bawa, who kept reminding himself 'never give in' throughout the race. 
In a test of speed and endurance, if your machine decides to have a mind of its own…"You have submit to it," Harkaran Singh, the second position holder for two legs, informs. He saw his gypsy breaking down at regular intervals. "This is where 'luck' plays an important role. My gypsy was well-prepared, but with such conditions, one can never be sure how the machine behaves. For Harkaran, one of the contestants from Team Thunderbolt that is participating in the event from 2006, the biggest challenge is to keep rolling.
The team of Karan Jung and Vikram Sharma, winners in their category T2, has been there done that. Perfect coordination and controlled driving skills got the team their podium position. Karan, who was first in his category last year as well, owes a lot to his machine, his understanding with the navigator and timing. As for Vikram, the navigator, "I was only bothered about two things, my driver Jung and our gypsy. Under no circumstances, could I lose any," says Vikram, who agrees to the fact that one wrong 'call' (instruction from the road book) can cost them life. "The driver is focused on the road and I have to focus on him, the track, timing and how good or bad the machine is performing. One wrong call at 18,000 feet and we are gone," he adds.
There was no stopping this second place holder in stock amateur (SUV) Adventure category of team Maruti Suzuki(overall winner). "As a driver I have to be careful about the speed, time and the distance. I can't drive like crazy.

One such singer, Preet Brar, is all set to take on his solo journey. Launching his album ‘Rise of Jatt’, he speaks about music and more.
One of the filmmakers in my wish list to work with has always been Sanjay Leela Bhansali and the call finally came from his office for My Friend Pinto. The film, though not directed by Bhansali himself, was still a Sanjay Leela Bhansali production, something prestigious. The director Raghaav Dhar narrated the character to me and I had a bright smile on my face.
The original flavours of Kashmir can be savoured at the ten-day Kashmiri Food Festival, which is on at the Fortune Klassic in Ludhiana since October 14. Forget the walnut cake, as the veg Kashmiri seekh or the haak takes over!
I firmly believe, “If it’s fried, it’s gotta taste yum! Pakoras, dumplings, fritters, tikiaas, bondaas.....by any name you choose, they taste scrumptious. Every cuisine across the globe has these piping hot bits of heaven, designed to travel straight from the frying pan into the gob! I know I’m talking oily food but what the heck, Diwali is knocking at the door. So, it’s forgivable to binge a bit.
