Special gesture
Katheryn Halland from Yardley, Pennsylvania, USA is a speech therapist, while Carmen Hall from Ontario, Canada, is an expert in early intervention in autism. This duo along with three associates, Becky Molly, Emily Fong and Emily Johnson, are in Chandigarh for the development of autistic children at Society for Rehablitation of Mentally Challenged (SOREM).
As their two weeks programme comes to an end, sipping tea, attired in Indian clothes and bindi in place, this spirited gang of girls has a sense of accomplishment. Global Autism Project of USA aims to reach out to the organisations providing guidance and care to such special children. These five experts in different fields of autism have been sharing their techniques and experiences with the staff at SOREM and are ecstatic. "We can already see a marked improvement in the children," says Carmen. For Becky it is marriage of two minds. "I am passionate towards working for autistic children and I love India. Being at SOREM has given me the chance to do both, and I am so happy with the results." Fuelled by the results that the association is showing, Becky has decided to do two more weeks of training at SOREM. "In our respective societies, we have seen that autistic people can lead a meaningful life and they just need a support system to do that," says Emily who is impressed with the fact that in India awareness and sensitivity towards the cause is ever growing. If these foreign volunteers are happy doing their bit, Sangeeta Jain, coordinator of autism classrooms at SOREM, is proud to have fetched experts from different areas. "As the mother of an autistic son, I have struggled hard. Coming together helps the kids who need our support in every possible way," says Sangeeta. It's not just here that Promila Chandra Mohan, honorary secretary, SOREM, wants to stop, "We have plans for vocational training for autistics and aim to start the early intervention programme too in the coming year." Back to the volunteers, ask them on their experience in India, "Amazing" is the combined response. "What we are taking back is warm hospitality that Indians have shown. We are touched by how cooperative people have been not only at school but at malls, tourist places and everywhere," they say.
Fact file
If detected early, and guided well, kids with autism show marked improvement before the age of six. To detect early look for these three signs—one, the kid has difficulty in communication; two, there is a lack of social skills, three, stereotypical behaviour like flapping of hands or sticking to schedules.

Not so naughty
Movie: Naughty Jatts Star cast: Aarya Babbar, Roshan Prince, Neeru Bajwa, Binnu Dhillon, Karamjit Anmol Director: Pankaj Batra Rating: hh Jasmine Singh
Starring Neeru Bajwa, Aarya Babbar, Roshan Prince, Binnu Dhillon, BN Sharma, Karamjit Anmol in the lead, Naughty Jatts, as the title explains, is about Jatts getting naughty. Batra has been pretty much successful in bringing out the naughtiness of the Jatts. Each time, it is either the director or the actors who have to go through the dissection table first. However, with Naughty Jatts it is the story, which comes under the knife. Writer Naresh Kathuria has a track record of giving some great 'laughable' subjects, but with Naughty Jatts, he just couldn't hit the target. The story somewhere reveals itself, other than of course the guess-who-takes-the-Jatti-home part. This is where Naresh picks up his bonus points. The movie starts with a slow pace. The slow and somewhat disjointed first part picks pace after the interval. It is now that you get to enjoy the naughtiness of the Jatts. One reason if you are enjoying the film, it is because of Binnu Dhillon. The actor does a fabulous job in the film along with Karamjit Anmol. Wherever the movie slips, Binnu Dhillon lifts it single handedly. The actor definitely outshines others in Naughty Jatts. Actor Aarya Babbar looks great, dashing, a total naughty Jatt, no doubt on that. He plays his role to the hilt, perking it up with comedy. But the actor is clearly wasted here. So much so, you miss his presence in one of the song sequences. The director could have made better use of Aarya Babbar! Actor Roshan Prince will make you starry eyed. His soft character gels with his image, and also justifies it. Roshan is good with comedy, given more punches, he could startle many. He gives you yet another reason to be starry eyed--he sings wonderfully. Now, unlike other films where actresses just add up the glamour factor, Naughty Jatts gives a meaty share to the leading lady Neeru Bajwa. She looks nice and she has also acted well. But Neeru Bajwa has surprisingly managed to come up with some great laughing moments. Sometimes actors make the director's job easy. Naughty Jatts is a fair example of this. So, if you have a BN Sharma in the film, sit back and relax. The man will never let you down. In Naughty Jatts one looks forward to the dialogues between BN Sharma, Binnu Dhillon and Karamjit Anmol. So what if the movie smells like the Naye Padosan starring the hardly known stars, Naughty Jatts has its own crunchiness. You will laugh, you will fall in love but in bits and parts, it's like sugar and salt, kept in moderation. And you will keep guessing till the last minute, okay you can pretend to! What's big about the film is its music. G Deep as the debutant music director has offered something new, something perky and something naughty!

Dropping anchor
Anand Gandhi, director of the film explained the reason behind this off-beat approach in a recent interview, "Everything in a movie is manufactured. People should themselves demand what they want to consume and this should not be decided by gatekeepers." But at the same time, how many from the film industry are ready to try this experiment, to give people the right to select or reject a film? And will this procedure help other independent film-makers to enter the mainstream? With an average of two films releasing each week (a record 11 films last week), a special effort is required to attract people towards a film in general too. "On top of that people have a shorter attention span, and there is a lot on the platter," says Raj Kumar Gupta, director of Ghanchakkar. While he more than welcomes the Facebook strategy he isn't sure that doing away with active publicity is a good idea. "Guest appearances on reality shows coupled with an innovative idea like holding kitty parties for ladies were important to give mileage to my film, Ghanchakkar." Creating demand only through Facebook and keeping track of it is an unprecedented move, though the social networking site has been used earlier to create awareness about film projects. Director of national award winning film, I Am, Onir generated funds for the making of the film through Facebook, and it thus also created awareness. Habib Faisal, director of the film Do Dooni Char cites an example of Sooraj Barjatya's film, Vivaah, which hit the theatres only with 100 prints initially. "Later when people appreciated it, 300 more prints were released," adds Habib, who feels that the strategy won't work for commercial cinema. He says it will be incorrect to generalise the impact of the campaign. "This democratic way of voicing out demand for a film might not be required in case of formula films. People vie to see it for entertainment." It can, however, be a trendsetter for films which never saw the light of the day due to production costs but were worth a watch. Pushpinder Syal, a Panjab University professor, thought the same when she cast her vote for Ship Of Theseus. "I went to watch The Reluctant Fundamentalist, a great piece of art, which didn't have an audience of more than 15 people. I realised that meaningful cinema doesn't have audience in India." But at the same time, Facebook represents only a small section of Indian population. Surbhi Goyal, member of the Meta Movie Club in Chandigarh, which screens films by independent film-makers, feels this won't have an impact on the film selection process by the major distribution houses. "I don't think they go by the demand generated on Facebook. It's probably for the fact that Kiran Rao is backing the film that it has got its due." Whatever it might be, Ship of Theseus will soon release in Chandigarh. The city has crossed the 60 per cent voting mark, and that is a reason to celebrate.

On a happy note
Music is a celebration; it has to be enjoyed, which also means it cannot be limited to any competition. "If you compete then you are limiting your talent to your competitor," shares one of Bollywood's leading singers, Sukhwinder Singh. There are no rules that he needs to adhere to, no secret formula to success—one thing that precedes everything else in life for Sukhwinder is happiness, the one that comes from within. As the singer shares his experiences on a TV show Sureeli Baat by a news channel, he unfurls how he never was or will be a part of any competition. Sukhwinder's recent tracks in Ranjhana and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag have received heart-felt appreciation, something he is aware of.
"A song is like a baby, I take care of it, I feed it and I am always there in the process of its growth," Sukhwinder takes a philosophical path. "People in the industry say that Sukhwinder is hard to get, but once I am there, I am all yours, and I mean work here," he laughs. Sukhwinder has a strong emotional connect with his songs. But he is the one who doesn't give away the song after singing. "Even after the final recording, I am not sure whether it is complete or not. I keep asking the director, music director whether they want me to do something more on the song. I even go to the music studios where the mixing is done, so that I know what's happening to the song," he says. He begins to make sense, just like that. The word song is not just a song for him! "It goes through many stages, so I have to make sure that it is done perfectly." There is another thing about music that Sukhwinder feels strongly about. "Music fulfills two things, it is either for entertainment or for spiritual purpose. When I sing I enjoy the whole process, it is not a job for me. I enjoy coming to the recording studio early, relaxing, laughing with others and then finally recoding the song." If enjoyment is the key word, then the concept of competition doesn't t exist at all. "True, true," he repeats. "Enjoyment is fun, enjoyment is happiness. If I am happy, I don't want to compete. And if I want myself to be happy, I let others be happy," a simple funda with Sukhwinder. Future projects, we mange to ask the question. "Music, music and more music," he replies. Happiness sure doesn't follow a configuration.

Once upon a time in Haryana…
Chandra Suta Dogra's book, Manoj and Babli, The Hate Story, based on honour killings, while focusing on Manoj and Babli's case in particular, sums up the history of khap panchayats and its relevance in the present time. Dogra took three years to complete the book, out of which half was dedicated to extensive research about the murder case and the rest to pen down the appalling realities. "Manoj's family was cooperative but Babli's family evaded the topic. It was difficult to get the facts out of them and make them express their views of the horrifying incident, since they were guilty," shares Chander about her experience of dealing with the victim's family. Khaps now also refer to scientific reasons behind opposing the same gotra marriage, which they say might trigger genetic disorders in the children. "Whatever be the reason, killing because two people love each other is not justified. If the Constitution of India allows it, nobody has the right to object." After the guilty were punished, khap is now striving to convince the government to amend the law. Chander has mentioned in her book a few cases of same gotra marriage that were later accepted. "I don't say it's a happy ending to the book but there has been some progress." With a subject as sensitive as this, there is always a chance of drifting towards the more popular opinion and media did create one in this case. Chandra, however, asserts she is objective enough. She allures to the history of khaps, their origin being centuries old, much older than the British Era. "Khaps argue that their judgments are fast and cheap and the courts of India delay the matter and can't be afforded by all, and that is true." She believes that youngsters will like to read this book, for it is they who suffer the most from this orthodox ideology. "And even sociologists will refer to it for it for it focuses on the most criticised social organization, khaps." And hope the book will further give impetus to the change in progress.

Serving Asia on platter
Food is an extension of various traditions and culture of Asia and it reflects on its diversity. For those of you, who fancy experimenting with food, Lemongrass, Sector 26, the newly opened Asian fine- dining restaurant and lounge, offers more than just a unique culinary experience.
As you walk into the lounge-cum-restaurant that has a capacity to seat 60 people, the chandeliers tend to embrace the ambiance with much warmth, while the aroma of lemongrass and basil lingers around the seating area. Just when you reckon that you are in for a flavourful refuge from the usual and ordinary as you sit on the sink-in sofas while staring at the shiny platter, you are served with the lemongrass water that provides much relief form the heat and smells equally good. As a live band performs popular tracks, Saurabh Aggarwal, COO of Lemongrass, intimates you with the concept "We started this venture with the idea of making it look like a five star lobby, with a formal seating area and a live band performing at the backdrop. Also, we have a drinking menu that is not just restricted to the bar. Our bartenders come to the customer's tables and prepare their customised orders for them," says Saurabh while adding, "The restaurant aims at serving Asian food, particularly Thai cuisine. Most of our staff, including the head chef, Laxman Negi, is from The Hyatt, Delhi and we aim to provide our customers with luxury." Contemporary in its design and ideology, the restaurant serves Thai, Korean, Chinese, Malaysian and Japanese food. Though the speciality of the restaurant remains Thai food, steamed pepper roll, chicken lime leaf, cottage cheese tai pai and Hanoi style grilled fish (Vietnamese speciality) are a perfect choice for appetisers. For main course, we suggest Thai curry, sticky rice, asparagus, and teppanyaki. The table for two will cost you Rs 1000.

There is always a next chance!
Shamin Mannan had to quit her debut show Colors’ Sanskaar. She played the role of Bhoomi but her ill health forced her to let go of the primetime show. She talks about her exit.
Your exit from the show made a lot of noise. Did you expect that? Not really. I didn’t expect such an overwhelming response from media and fans. People have called and told me to come back on the show. Perhaps they don’t know that once you are replaced you can’t go back. It’s unfortunate that I had to part ways with the show. How are you feeling now? I am feeling much better now. I have rested properly. Do you feel you lost out on a big opportunity? No. I miss shooting though. But I also feel something better is in store for me. I take it in the right spirit. I used to shoot for few hours but it didn’t work with the production house who had to deliver episodes. The show must go on so they had to take a call. It’s fine with me as it was a mutual decision What’s next in line then? I will see what comes my way. Right now I am focusing on getting better. I don’t mind doing a reality show which should be a good change. As for TV serial, well I will take some time for that. How was your experience with Jay Soni and Aruna Irani? They were very caring towards me. In spite of my bad health when I would shoot they took care of me. Jay and I became good friends. I am still in touch with him. Are you single? Recently there were rumours that you were dating someone? I am good friends with the person media linked me with. I don’t like to talk about my personal life.

Full of fun
Naughty Jatts
Directed by Pankaj Batra and produced by Multiline Entertainment Pvt Ltd (Satish Katyal & Sandeep
Bhalla), Naughty Jatts is a Punjabi romantic comedy. The film stars Aarya Babbar, Roshan Prince and Binnu Dhillon opposite Neeru
Bajwa. Funny to the core
The film revolves around the lives of three Punjabi men, who want to woo Neeru Bajwa. Now the way the story unfolds and the way the men try to woo her, brings all the fun and excitement. The storyline is brilliant and so is the acting. The film is drenched in comedy and if you are having a bad day, just watch it for a hearty laugh. Simran Bajwa, student Comic verses I love the film. It has very funny dialogues and situations, which blend seamlessly into the script of the film, and the actors have acted very well too. It's a must watch. Nitin Saluja, student Well done The film is funny, it has a good story and it does what it is set to do-make people laugh. Also, Binu Dhillion, Aarya Babbar, Roshan Prince and Neeru Bajwa have done complete justice to their roles. Namrita Sachdeva, student —As told to Amarjot Kaur
The Smurfs 2
As good as its prequel I like the film for the characters. If not more, the film is as interesting as its prequel. Also, in some regards there is a slight improvement too, since the movie contains more of the timeless humour and quirky fairy tale charm. Ranjit Dhillon, student Lesson learnt I like the film for its meaningful spiritual lessons for youngsters that have been present in the best Smurf movie/TV show projects made in the past. Kiran Randhawa, student — As told to Amarjot Kaur

Jatt….How far can you take them….we actually mean the word. Earlier, Jatts were caught up in a Golmaal, next they are planning to launch their own airways and at present they have turned pretty much naughty. At least this is what director Pankaj Batra presents with his release Naughty Jatts.
Seldom has the word of mouth become so strong a medium of publicity. Everybody wants to watch, discuss, debate, appreciate, and applaud Ship of Theseus, the film with an unusual storyline that didn't have the usual release at theatres. Its popularity has gone viral, not just for the content also for the medium it followed to reach out to people. The Facebook campaign in different cities, which required people to vote for the film to bring it to the multiplexes near them, is a hit and 
After facing social ostracism and living the a life of a pariah for months after her son's murder, Chandrapati won the sarpanch elections. It proves that there is an onset of change in Haryana. Youth today has moderate views about the same gotra marriage and the khap loyalists do fear and respect the law of the land. The aftermath of Manoj and Babli's murder, the young couple killed on the diktats of khap panchayat five years back, saw Haryana becoming liberal, a bit on its own and a bit imposed.
Emraan Hashmi and Vidya Balan will do another film together after The Dirty Picture and Ghanchakkar. The film will be directed by Mohi Suri and will go on the floors soon. Mohit is more than happy to work with Emraan and he will be working with Vidya for the first time.
Attention to detail
Sonali Bendre has replaced Prachi Desai in the sequel to Once Upon a time In Mumbaai Dobaara. The character of Don Shoaib's sweetheart was now supposed to be middle-aged so Prachi could not play her and Milan Luthria suggested Sonali Bendre. Sonali was more than happy to do it.
They are looking for an eleven-year-old girl and are spreading the word through social media. The particular sequence may have to be pushed if they do not find her.
We will witness the entry of a cruel assassin Basar Khan to be played by popular actor Siraj Mustafa in the show, Maharana Pratap. Siraj Mustafa was last seen in Hum Ne Li Hai Shapath as Basar Khan. The plot will get interesting as Shamsher Khan and Shams Khan will hire him to kill Pratap.
After Kritika Kamra and Madhura Naik, buzz is that Karan Kundra is dating model called Swati Vatsa. The couple met through common friends and has been seen in public many a times. But Karan dismisses it claiming these are rumours and she is just a friend.
The team of Diya Aur Baati Hum are flying high as their show is the only one that has caught the fancy of the Khan trio. After Aamir Khan promoted Satyamev Jayate and Salman Khan did the same for Dabangg 2 and now Shah Rukh Khan promoted his upcoming film Chennai Express on the show too.
Shooting for a TV show might sound glamorous but reality can be different. Recently the two actors of Colors’ Na Bole Tum... Na Maine Kuch Kaha Season 2 Aasiya Kazi and Kunal Karan Kapoor had to shoot in a dirty puddle and muck and got rashes all over their body. While Kunal had to stand knee deep in dirty water, Aasiya hurt her foot.
It is based on The Smurfs, comic-book series created by the Belgian comics and The Smurfs 2 is the second instalment of a projected trilogy, produced by Sony Pictures Animation and distributed by Columbia Pictures. The Smurfs 2 is an American 3D family comedy film and a sequel to the 2011 film The Smurfs. The film is directed by Raja
Gosnell, who helmed the first, with all the main cast returning. New cast includes Christina Ricci and JB Smoove as members of the
Naughties, and Brendan Gleeson as Patrick Winslow's stepfather.
Shraddha
Kapoor: She debuted with Teen Patti in 2010 and that flopped. So did Luv Ka The End. After modelling for a while, she scored box office gold with Aashiqui 2 and her performance was applauded immensely. The Rs 7 crore film has crossed Rs 100 crore. She is doing The Villain next with Mohit Suri and is loving her new-found fame.
Deepika
Padukone: After a string of flops and only glamourous roles, she had a critical and a commercial hit with Cocktail. Desi Boyz did decent business as well. This year only got better. Race 2 crossed Rs 100 crore and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani made more than Rs 180 crore. Her next release, Chennai Express is expected to do well too. She is on a massive hit spree.
Aditya Roy
Kapur: He debuted with London Dreams in 2009 and was also seen in Action Replayy and Guzaarish but these films did nothing for anybody. Aashiqui 2 turned his fortune around and he followed it up with a commendable act in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani as the second male lead. He has a YRF film up his sleeve.
Shilpa
Shukla: She is best remembered as Bindiya Naik from Chak De! India and has not done any memorable movie since. She was betrayed as a couple of projects were snatched from under her nose. She was going to pack her bags and go home but then B.A. Pass happened. Now, she is well
recognised.
Sonam
Kapoor: She debuted with Saawariya in 2007 and her only hit film before 2013 was I Hate Luv Storys in 2010. In 2013, she has had two back-to-back and critically acclaimed hits with Raanjhana and Bhaag Milkha
Bhaag. She is going places now and has a new-found confidence. She might even do a Hollywood movie.
