From expendable to dependable
First, it is the most talked about anthem for the film Expendables 3 (the Hindi version) and he is all over the youtube for the Flying Machine advertisement, which is apparently a run away success. And then comes his stints in Hindi films. Inderpreet, unlike other bands, has chosen to maintain a right balance between his individual work and his band, Faridkot. For someone who couldn't settle in a corporate set-up, for someone who wouldn't settle for anything that doesn't align with his heart- music, bands, films and acting-everything has followed a course of its own. Band-o-bast "The story about how our band came into being has more or less been talked about. The changes that the band underwent is not news either, but what makes news to me is the fact that despite the glitches, we have decided to play on," says IP, who along with the lead guitarist Raj and other members, make it a point to keep the energy of the band flowing. IP doesn't rubbish the disintegration of music bands. "Music brings people together, they decide to make a band, they play, do gigs, but this doesn't mean people will lose their identity. Eventually someone gets interested in something else and they decide to move on. This is as simple as you can see," says this lead vocalist of Faridkot, who along with his friend Raj, is always open to new musicians. Music & more Music is not just about singing or head banging. "It's a high that elevates me and joins me with the creation," shares IP experimenting with tunes and giving them an interesting turn always. But the swashbuckler that he is, the journey of discovering different sounds of music, gets him to discover more about himself as well. "I want to act, I have done theatre for a while, and I am a craving to play a substantial role," he adds. The Flying Machine ad is just one peek-a-boo into how ready he is for this. "I have been receiving a 'good job' messages from friends and those who have seen me in the advertisement. Nevertheless, it doesn't end here. "Hindi films have often shown a Sikh as a jester. I want to change that and do a role which has depth. In addition to this, of course, I want to do a lot of film music." While he talks about his future plans, which includes international projects and collaborations, IP has not forgotten about the point where it all started. “I would make a conscious effort to keep Faridkot going even when I or my band members are busy with other things in life.” Being himself The anthem Mastaaney for Expendables 3 has definitely been noticed. "I would be doing more of film music. However, my word is 'being yourself' in music and that helps my thoughts and passion to expand." In fact, IP believes that life can have a life changing effect, especially on the kids. "This is what I want to do with music." jasmine@tribunemail.com

Up beat
In Chandigarh recently, Jazim shares how happy he is about the way life is shaping up. With his heart set to be a singer, he started learning music when he was just five and has continued to seek guidance from his guru till now. They say you get what you set your heart to, and Jazim validates. "I loved listening to Shankar Mahadevan right from my childhood days, and the only show I ever followed was Zee's Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. To become the top five contestants on my favourite show under the guidance of Shankar Ji was all I could ask for." Happy at how ghazals are getting such a warm response from the audience, Jazim is living his dream of giving music for films. "I have signed three films—Bande, Ehsaas and Sialkoti and I am enjoying the work," says Jazim, who wants to take forward his love for ghazals and composing hand-in-hand. Why ghazals? Aren't they a dying genre? "Precisely that's why. The solace I get from singing ghazals is unparalleled. I am so glad post Sa Re Ga Ma Pa so many youngsters have started listening and appreciating ghazals." Reality shows are hard work and also a matter of chance. He affirms, "How else would you be getting selected among the lucky few who get to be part of the show from the lakhs who appear for auditions," says the singer who says the real test starts once on the show. "Singing in front of the likes of Pandit Jasraj or Vishwa Mohan Bhatt is not a mean feat. You don't want to let yourself down in front of the masters," he adds. Right now happy at the way his single Bismillah has turned out and the initial response he has got, Jazim is ecstatic and is aiming at many more! "I was literally without any work for close to a year," says Abhishek who has done a number of music videos and a Punjabi film U n Me. "I got substantial roles in
Bande, Ehsaas and Sialkoti that Jazim Bhai is giving music in." |

What once bore a teenage stamp has made a marvellous comeback and how...Cross-body bags have always been around. But thanks to Elsa Pataky for bringing bring it back with a bang at Guardians of the Galaxy premiere in London early this month where she teamed it up with Dolce & Gabbana lace dress. And, she did carry it with aplomb looking all fresh, comfy and stylish - all at the same time. In this part of the world, jholas have been here for long. Usually made in cloth and carried across the shoulder, they, however, spell convenience over style. Yes, college-goers flaunt them in bright colours, mostly teamed up with mirror work. So, if you haven't yet made the most of this really cool accessory that allows you carry your essentials without worrying too much on how and where to carry or keep it, here's a low down by Ritu Kochar, corporate director, INIFD: nChoose style in keeping with the occasion - small, smart pieces that can carry your phone, lipper and compact to go with your formal wear and bigger bags that can carry a notebook or I- pad for college-goers. nThere are plenty of colours, patterns and materials to choose from. Neons are doing well and there are bags in cloth, leather, plastic and what not. Pick one that goes with your dress. nWomen who are top heavy need to be extra careful while wearing this trend. Go for smaller pieces. mona@tribunemail.com

the
‘in’ side Chartreuse, the yellow-green colour that is gaining popularity in the interiors, is one of the hottest hues for the 2014 season Sukhmani
I have loved chartreuse for decades. It adds just the perfect pop to nearly any colour scheme. The colour immediately adds sophistication and style. When combined with dark colours like black and browns, and in rich textures, chartreuse adds a warm, luxurious, and almost sensuous feel to a room. In its lighter, softer form chartreuse makes a great wall colour for earthy, nature-inspired rooms. In its boldest, brightest form it is as eye-catching as neon. Chartreuse can be both earthy and electric. It looks wonderful with reds, oranges and blues, especially turquoise and cobalt. It looks crisp with bright white and neutrals. Chartreuse is very popular in modern design. It is a playful, vibrant colour that adds excitement to a tired scheme or one that needs a suggestion of light shining through a window. Use this colour to your advantage to add cheer and creativity to a space with limited architectural details. (Sukhmani is a Chandigarh-based interior and landscape designer)

A resolute social angle
Chandigarh-based Big Day Event Management Company was officially launched with a social cause — The Big Day Indian Hunger Challenge — on Monday. Comprising the former Infosys employee Shipra Goyal and former chartered accountant with Pricewaterhouse Coopers, Ranjana Singh, who are working together with Gaurav Goyal, Jai, and Chilman, the stakeholders of the company, talk about their business and social interests.
"We all are artistes at heart and that we come from the IT sector, we are also equipped with the knowledge of finance, so this business endeavour is the amalgam of our creative talent and academic knowledge," shares Gaurav Goyal, owner of SGA Real Estates and Libaas Trendz. He is supporting The Big Day Event Management Team. While talking about The Big Day Indian Hunger Challenge, with which the company was launched, Ranjana Singh shares that it started 48 hours ago and the movement already has over 1,500 likes on the Facebook page. "Just like the Ice Bucket Challenge, people from different parts of the country, including Abohar, Sangrur, Chandigarh, Mandi Gobindgarh, Gurgaon, Varanasi and Manipal, have taken up this challenge, which has helped feed over 60 people so far, and the number keeps growing," she says. An initiative of the Big Day Event Management Company, it is an effort to reach out to the underprivileged and feed them, click selfies or personal photos and hash tag it to the id_bigdayindianhungerchallenge. "We are living in a nation of many underprivileged people who do not have even two square meals a day. In such scenario, when the technology has knit us together, we decided to use it to spread a social cause," says creative director Chilman Sahni. The members of the company have worked with slum kids of NGO Theatre Age on Independence Day celebrations and are also offering event management solutions to people according to their budgets.

Walk in the mall!
Initially, as an outsider, he faced the problems of what, when and where? Eight malls to choose from and no information whatsoever! If only a few clicks could take him to all the brands that each of these malls house, what deals were on offer and how to contact them? Chandigarhmalls.com came into being as an endeavour to simplify things. Shares Sahil Bharat, the founder of the website, "I so wanted to make a website that would provide all the required information in one go. As a double post-graduation in humanities could not help much, I enrolled myself for a web designing course at a local institute," he shares, currently a store manager at a jewellery store at Elante Mall. "I have been staying in Chandigarh for the last five years and been working on this website for six months now. It will be useful not just to residents of Chandigarh, but also to anyone interested in shopping in the Tricity."
Close observation of people while at his workplace further helped things, "People show a keen interest in shopping at the malls in the city but have no clue as to what all places, offer discounts. Even the websites of these malls themselves don't show information in a user-friendly manner. One has to really search for addresses and contact numbers too." He adds, "It was quite a task to convince the brand managers and store owners to share their information and contact details. We went to each and every shop, collected their store cards and convinced them." Rewards followed only once the arduous task of collecting the data was finished. "I launched this website in June and it has already received 7,000 hits, including 1,000 registered members." He adds, "I am in talks with the owners of various restaurants and eating joints; very soon one would be able to book tables on my website. Apart from this, one would also be able to book for spas." Apart from the user-friendly floor-wise segregation of shops, after free registration one can receive information on all the running offers as and when they come.

Comic note
It's an age of promotions and an age of Punjabi films. Every alternate day, if not every, a film is announced, poster unveiled, its star cast announced, music launched or if all goes well…the movie released! Monday wasn't any different in Chandigarh, since all films claim to be 'different' in the Punjabi film industry, this one to emphasise even more (probably) is titled only Zara Hatt Ke!
Yes, it's a new production house…Pollywood Films. We get to be in the audience of three producers, apparently entrepreneurs who claim to be investing Rs 4.5 crore in their maiden project. The film has comedy and action in a very 'different' way hence the title! It's a story that addresses social evils, corruption in particular. The star cast is yet to be locked; there sure is one Aman Randhwa. And yet to finalise Arya Babbar or Amrinder Gill depending on the dates they give. The film announcement had two songs sung by the singers that are going to be part of film. We agree Ae vatan is what we liked the most about the whole event on Monday that lasted half-an-hour. The director Bhagwant Singh Kang, who has also done the story and screenplay of this film, has already completed shooting for film Saau Munde, which he intends to release by the year end. With a recent Punjabi film from a Bollywood doyen failing to find favour with viewers (despite favourable reviews), those present question the merit of this film and the viability of the project. It's the choreographer and assistant director Sunita Singh who takes the bull by horns, "No film ever fails (we wonder why). Bollywood too gives flop films yet you give them a chance, we should give a chance to Pollywood too. And, if we think positive we can give a quality film in Pollywood too." Amen! mona@tribunemail.com

star track After playing suicidal characters in two of his upcoming films, superstar Al Pacino says he might be suffering from depression. Pacino stars in The Humbling as an ageing theatre actor, who has an affair with a younger woman, whereas in Birdman, he plays a suicidal theatre actor, who cannot seem to find the stage. "I may be depressed but I don't know about it. People go into depression and it's very, very sad and it can last and it's terrifying. I know that, I've had bouts with stuff that comes close to that, but not with that intensity. I feel spared, I feel lucky." "How does it go? You say I'm depressed? Life is sort of like all over us. Things make you sad. Basically you'd like to be a little happier sometimes. But 'depressed' seems so ominous. It's really in all of us. We all relate to it," he said. And Pacino revealed that his kids make him happy most of all. "I have three children. That's been a real source of enlightenment for me, plus the friends I've had, the people I've met over the years, the relationships I've had. All of it has contributed to an amazing, shocking journey I've had so far. I feel as though I'm doing OK," he said. — PTI Real effect: Al Pacino

Britney’s ex-file closed
Britney Spears' ex-boyfriend David Lucado wants to have one last conversation with the singer, but her team, led by father Jamie Spears, is reportedly blocking him from contacting her.
Lucado is reportedly telling friends that he and Britney were not "100 per cent together" a few weeks ago when he was videotaped dancing and making out with a girl. And he wants to explain himself, but he's running into a brick wall in the form of Team Brit. A source said: "David won't be getting through because he's persona non grata at her show in Las Vegas, at her home in Thousand Oaks, CA ... and his phone number's been blocked." It is even said that Lucado never heard about the break-up directly from Britney and he wants to have that talk. The Piece of Me hit-maker recently took to Twitter to share that she'd dumped her beau. — IANS
Raja Natwarlal crawls at box office
Despite favourable reviews, Emraan Hashmi-starrer Raja Natwarlal has failed to excite the moviegoers and it has impacted its box office collection. In two days, the crime-comedy could rake in just about
Rs 11 crore.
Reportedly made on a budget of Rs 35 crore, the UTV Motion Pictures' project hit about 2,000 screens in the country Friday. "It has earned Rs 11 crore in the first two days. It is quite low. It should cross Rs 20 crore in a week," said Rajesh Thadani of Multimedia Combines. Directed by Kunal Deshmukh, Emraan's chemistry with his co-star and Pakistani actress Humaima Malick in the film has been criticised too. "The drama in #RajaNatwarlal is entertaining, but the romance and music are weak. Film doesn't appeal," trade analyst Komal Nahta tweeted. Another reviewer wrote: "In Raja Natwarlal, a con caper with a lot going for it at least on paper, Emraan has little to do that could catapult him to the next level of his career." Emraan was joined by seasoned actor Paresh Rawal and talented Kay Kay Menon in the cast, but they couldn't do enough to elevate the film. Identity Card-Ek Lifeline by Rahat Kazmi and Trip to Bhangarh directed by Jitendra Pawar also released on Friday, but the two films collected "negligible figures" at the ticket window, says
Thadani. — IANS

chatter box
Young singer Uvie received much appreciation for the song Fevicol in Dabangg 2. He has recently released his album Magic Moments Geele Geele. He talks about it, his experiences and more.
How was your journey from Himachal Pradesh to Mumbai? It was very challenging, as I knew no one in Mumbai at that time. I had started with Rs 10,000 in my pocket, out of which Rs 8,000 was stolen the moment I landed in Mumbai. There was no help and I even could not rent out a place. I spent one complete night below a water tank. How did your journey in the world of music begin? I loved music ever since I was a child. In school, I was a favourite with my music teacher. After my schooling from Dharamshala, I learnt music from KL Sehgal in Shimla. Later, I moved to Chandigarh on a scholarship in folk singing. That inspired me a lot. I also cleared the All-India Radio Grading test, but my father wanted me to become an engineer. I took admission in an engineering course, but left it within a year to pursue BA in music and later completed a Masters degree in classical music. Now that you have come far, do you look back? Yes; it is very important to remember your days of struggle and all the people who helped you out during that time. This will help you become a better person in life. How did you reach Mumbai? I reached Mumbai after my Masters degree. I first worked with Sajid-Wajid. The latter made me in assistant and I learnt a lot from him. Later, I did various albums and sung in the film Shararat; finally got a big break with the song Fevicol in the movie Dabangg 2. Who do your credit your success to? I attribute it to my three gurus — KL Sehgal, Harvinder Singh sir from college and also Professor Yashpal, who is from the Agra Gharana. — Dharam Pal
Adventurous streak...
Divyanka Tripathi is riding high on the success of her show Yeh Hai Mohabaatein. However, there is another side to her that most people do not know. We catch up with her.
How much do you relate to your character Ishita in Yeh Hai Mohabaatein? Ishita Iyer is very 'real' girl. She is mature, down-to-earth and well-educated girl. I am happy to play this character. The only difference between us is that Ishita fights a lot and I don't. What do you like about your boyfriend Ssharad Malhotraa the most? He is my strength. He has always been there with me in both my good and bad times. He is person who motivates me a lot. The best thing about Ssharad is that he is family person. He is a positive thinker, but a moody person. You have done a mountaineering course. Why did you decide to do it? I am a very adventurous person. It's in my blood. I love horse-riding, mountaineering and trekking. So, one day I decided to go to Uttar Kashi to pursue a mountaineering course for sixteen days. It was great fun. You are a gold medalist in rifle shooting. How did that happen? I was in NCC and selected on Republic Day to represent MP. I made a record in rifle shooting. I wanted to be like Abhinav Bindra, but I am an actor today. It is so different from the girl-next-door image that you have? Yes. I had to work very hard for it. I was a tomboy so this image was really difficult to cultivate. — HRM
Suyyash turns singer
Actor Suyyash Rai, who debuted in Splitisvilla, went on to do Pyar Ki Ek Kahani and was last seen in Kaisa Yeh Ishq Hai, is all set to make his debut as a singer with a single titled Khushnuma.
He says, "I realised my flair for singing five years back. I used to just sing with friends at private gatherings. However, I had some friends like Meet brothers, who are from the music industry, when I came to Mumbai from Chandigarh. I started singing because of singers like Atif Aslam, Sonu Nigam and Arjit Singh. I have sung a single, which has two versions. It's a soulful romantic number. We have also shot a music video in Khandala and Kisher Merchant is a part of the video too. The music video has been produced by Posh Entertainment Pvt Ltd, which is owned by Ashwani Sharma.". When asked if he was a trained singer, he said, "No; I have a natural flair. But I intend to start my singing lessons soon. I also want to try my luck in playback singing for films. I can play a bit of piano and guitar as well."
Flavours of Mumbai
Shivin Narang, who plays Ranvijay in Veera, got a good taste of the spirit of Mumbai as he shot for the television show in actual Mumbai locations recently. In the show, his character comes to Mumbai from Punjab. He shot at The Gateway of India, also in the local train and also outside CST station. He says, "The experience of shooting in local train was very different. I got to travel from Andheri to Churchgate. It was fun and we enjoyed a lot. Shooting at Gateway of India was a great experience."
The perfect man
The Indian woman has always been the epitome of tradition and values in our society, but can the men be left far behind? Every mother has expectations from her son…every wife wants attention from her husband… every sister is possessive about her brother! But will the perfect man be able to live up to these expectations? Breaking the stereotype, Sony Entertainment Television is all set to launch a new show, Hum Hain Na, which showcases the story of a man's struggle to strike the perfect balance. Premiering on September 1, 2014, Monday — Thursday at 9:30 pm, the new show dabbles with the subject that gets many women thinking — kya ek perfect beta, ek perfect pati bhi ban sakta hai? Produced by DJ's Creative Unit, Hum Hain Na is set in the beautiful town of Benaras and follows the life of a young and charming boy, Shivprasad Mishra aka Bunty (Kanwar Dhillon). The role of the protagonist will be essayed by the young and good-looking Kanwar
Dhillon.

Unassuming, swinging off to the oblivious, often coming out to get a reality check, for those who claim to know him well are, in fact, the ones in for a surprise. Bundle of nerves at one moment, slipping into deep silence next, Inderpreet Singh, IP Singh as he is known, is rising like the tempo of his songs.
Winning thousands of hearts as the Shehzada-e-Ghazal on Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, Jazim Sharma already enjoys quite a fan following. Now, he is reaching out to them with his single, Bismillah. Sufi in nature, his track also released in the electro version. And, that's not all. This Bhatinda boy has signed three films as a music director and is raring to go.
Chartreuse, pronounced as 'shahr-trohz', is the name given to a yellow-green colour that is gaining popularity as far as the interiors are concerned. Although not a new concept in the world of colour, chartreuse is taking its well-deserved spot as one of the hottest hues for 2014. We'll be seeing chartreuse over and over again, not only in accessories, but also incorporated in upholstered pieces, painted furniture, paint, even kitchen cabinetry. As lovely as it is, chartreuse is most certainly a very strong colour…it's neither green nor yellow, but is in fact a beautiful mixture of both. I tend to like shades like this, those in between two primary colours, for their versatility. The spectrum within this colour ranges from bright lime to light sulphur.
The name chartreuse comes from a French liqueur made by Carthusian monks in the French Alps. As you probably would have already guessed, the colour of the liqueur is a beautiful, clear yellow-green.
Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease that causes skin cells to grow and repair too quickly, resulting in thick, white, silvery or red patches. Normally, skin cells grow gradually and flake off about every four weeks whereas in psoriasis they repair in seven days. They build up and form thick patches called plaques .The patches range in size from small to large. They most often appear on the knees, elbows, scalp, hands, feet, or lower back. Psoriasis is most common in adults. But children and teens can get it too.
Approximately one-third of the patients with psoriasis have a positive family history.
"DAMN!! Just discovered... Down with fever!! (sic)," he tweeted Saturday night.
The ongoing Pro-Kabaddi, a professional kabaddi league, has made actress-producer Dia Mirza nostalgic. "My mom would always know when I walked into the house after school that I had played kabaddi! Mud in the hair, scraped knee a give away," she tweeted Sunday. The Bobby Jasoos producer also praised Pro-Kabaddi for making the sport popular again. "It is awesome what @ProKabaddi has done to make this ancient Indian sport popular again. Kudos @juniorbachchan and @RonnieScrewvala #WIN," she tweeted.
