, Harish Verma and Aarti Chabria talk about their place in the Punjabi film industry and what more they aim for
 He lets his words flow, shooting them directly from his heart, without caring two hoots about whether they are politically correct or not. Actor Harish Verma does not come from the popular singer-actor brigade, nonetheless he has managed to etch a place for himself in the Punjabi film industry. He owes every bit of his success to the late Gursharan Singh, who taught him the nuances of acting.

Life in the fast lane
Gopal Krishna & Yash Srivastava have assembled a racing car that will be tested at Buddh International Circuit
 To understand auto racing, you definitely need to get into one of those fast machines going at 172 miles per hour, turning turtle in the second lap. The noise, the vibrations can just rip of your head. Two automotive engineers, Gopal Krishna and Yash Srivastava from Faizabad and Allahabad respectively, haven't slipped into any one of the tiny fast wonders but they can feel the intensity as they design car model close to the Formula One cars.

Stress buster
Inject some fun into your life!
Oh my God, ''I'm so bored with life''. Now this is a statement I get to hear very often from many of my clients, even my friends. They seem to be in pretty wonderful jobs, life on the surface seems to be rather exciting for them and yet they feel unhappy and stressed. Even you begin to wonder at the validity of the statement.
Many times I try to suggest them some of the easier stress relievers. But whenever I try to recommend yoga or meditation, the very next statement is ''I've tied yoga and meditation but I find stress less boring''. Now what do you say to that? It only brings a smile to my face while my mind is busy racing for alternatives.
Creative circle

Dhiman, titled Moksha, painting for the East and spiritual tree of Moksha and the rural beauty of Punjab and its women by Jarnail Singh.
Stars live it up in South Africa
Bollywood and television stars have been to Durban for the first ever South African Indian Films and Television Awards 2013. Here is what they did during their time off especially because the city has many marine attractions.
Siddharth Malhotra: He was keen to walk down a wooden bridge jutting into the sea and strike a Titanic-like pose. He did not say with whom! He got a sneak peek of the exotic beaches and landscape from his hotel window and that, he says, evoked romantic feelings in his heart.
Ranveer Singh: He wanted to go on a feeding the sharks trip. The actor, who is with his family, took off for Cape Town for a short holiday after the award ceremony.
SAIFTA success
The night had been awaited with great expectations by entertainment circles of India and South Africa. A cross-cultural award ceremony coupled with various knowledge sharing and talent initiatives was a novel idea, and SAIFTA (South Africa India Film and Television Awards) 2013's debut did not disappoint, only exceeded expectations with its energy, glamour and substance.
On a recent evening, the red carpet set the tone for things to come, with Bollywood heartthrobs Ranveer Singh and Sidharth Malhotra walking down looking dapper in their suits, while the sizzling Amy Fernandes strutted down in her beautiful gown. Sadha
Naidoo, Board Chairperson, Tourism KwaZulu-Natal and Neliswe Dlamini, Project Manager DEDT were seen interacting with Mukesh Bhatt and Waheeda Rehman and Abhay
Deol.

In the festive spirit
Ganesh Chathurthi is celebrated with great pomp and show and our TV stars are also in the celebration mood. Some of them share their memories and plans for the festival
In the name of God: I love Ganesh Chaturthi festival. The environment is really amazing, divine and peaceful with lights everywhere. During Ganesha festival my few close friends and family get Ganpati at their house, so I make it a point to visit them and take Ganpati Bappa's blessings. I believe in Siddhivinayak and try to visit the temple whenever I get time from my shootings. I love to eat
Modak. This time, I might be busy shooting.

Shake it up
Dressed in a light faded denim shirt and a
signature NRI turban, the pleats of which were arranged in impeccably accurate folds, Jassi Sidhu’s persona articulated its charm in a warm “hello
ji” that was uttered in a typical British accent. “This one’s going to be very different from what I did earlier,” he says, without wasting a single minute as he waxed eloquently about his brand new single,
Hipshaker. “I started my music career in 1996 with a Punjabi band called B21, but then I wanted to go solo after a while.
