When Glamour Meets Grace
Thankfully for once and after a long time, we hear someone say, rather strongly put across, why one shouldn’t dream of Bollywood. Though she has contributed stars to tinselville, though she is everything that glamour can stand for, Maureen Wadia has a clear, candid and a healthy way of looking at dreaming-about-Bollywood concept.

Dil ki kalam se...
So impressive were his lyrics that directors made movies for his songs! The writer behind eternal hits Phoolon ke rang se dil ki kalam se, Khilte hain gul yahaan khile ke bikharne ko, Likhe jo khat tujhe and many more, is a picture of poise and inspiration.
Neeraj (Gopaldas Saxena), recipient of the Padma Bhushan Award in 2007, was in Chandigarh on the invite of Chandigarh Sahitya Akademi on Saturday.
In the print
A summer wardrobe without a dash of printed
clothes is definitely dull. Whereas one waits for the warm season to go all
bright in terms of colour, there is yet another side that can be equally
interesting—prints! Right from the stylish western tops and one-piece dresses,
to the comfortable summerish cotton suits; one just needs to decide what kind of
prints to sport. There is a sea full of prints ranging from bold floral to animal prints, stripes to polka dots, abstract prints to tie and dies. Phew! So many that one is bound to get confused. We check out the right kind of prints for you.

Tea off with green
A warm cup of tea in the morning is a necessity of most Indians, but apart from the regular tea that we all love, we are also waking up to the trend of drinking green tea, whose healthbenefits have been spoken at length now.
The mind’s eye
A strong believer in the theory that images enter the mind of an audience through pictorial effect, Johny ML is not the conventional definition of an artist. His real hunger for art and literature comes alive when one finds out that Johny completed post-graduation courses in Creative Curating from the University of London, Art History and Criticism from MS University, Baroda, and English Language and Literature from the University of
Kerala.

Child’s play!
Twelve-year-old Sharnaya says she loves wearing long tops with jeans, eleven-year-old Mehr thinks that polka dots are really in and this colour combination should not be restricted to only Christmas time…confused? Don’t be. This is the younger generation for you…the kids of today! And their sense of style was amply showcased at the ‘create a look’ competition organised by 612 Ivy League, a kid’s casual apparel store in Sector-17, on Saturday.

Trance-mitting happiness
It could be psychedelic, progressive or minimal. At the end of the day, it all falls within trance and at the start of the day, it all emanated from electronic music. No matter what the upcoming or the established DJs claim, we do not expect the Tom, Jack, Harry or Henry to know about trance as well as they do rock.

When it’s a designer duo from Pakistan, the questions are more or less steeped
in curiosity about the fashion scenario and women’s outfits in the
neighbouring country. “Pakistani women, I feel, are more fashionable,” designer Zebu Nisa, while showcasing her collection at Poshak, refreshingly doesn’t play the diplomatic card and goes onto elaborate why. “We do not follow Bollywood though but every fashion and every style reaches immediately to Pakistan.” The palazzos that India borrowed from Hina Rabbani, being a case in point.
