Steps towards fitness
Would you prefer to pump an iron or rather join a party? With many opting for the latter category, Tricity gyms have geared up to make workouts interesting and motivating. The easiest way to do so is to include some music and moves to the rhythm. While the latest equipment is a constant, the gyms are increasingly offering dance classes for those looking for fun and fitness together.
Desi beats Dance exercise is what they aim at Body Zone Fitness N Spa-9. Right from bhangra to salsa, they pick-up steps from different dance forms to design a complete workout programme. "Dance exercise has found many takers among children and women. Children, who cannot lift weights, dance works best for them," says Vikram Kapoor, general manager and fitness consultant at Bodyzone. Bhangra remains the most popular here with as many men as women joining the class. The robust dance form has found favour with almost everyone here. Salsa and zumba have found takers too as has the cardio kickboxing on the beats of music. "Our aim is to make people burn calories not teaching a dance form. Yes, they do learn the basics but we take the liberty to pick up some and leave some, choosing the best for a workout and provide variety," Vikram explains. Their dance exercise programme mixes different dance forms for a complete workout. How much: While a monthly class (thrice a week) is pegged around Rs 4,000, a full programme for 12 classes is around Rs 7,000 depending on the dance form and the instructor. Aerobic language Zumba is what this Gagan Kaur has been teaching for last six years in Tricity. She would call her training to be a judicious mix of dance and fitness. Zumba, with plenty of aerobics elements in it, makes for a perfect workout and packs the advantage of learning a new skill. "Zumba not only tones your body, but lifts up the mood but truly rejuvenates you," says Gagan, whose Aqua Zumab at Gymkhana Club in Panchkula is getting good response. Her students have reported weight loss, but Gagan brushes it aside, "Weight is just one parameter, it's the overall fitness that we work on." How much: Rs 2,000 for a monthly class Vigorous bhangra Bhangra figures prominently in programmes run by aerobics fitness expert Vishal Thukral. Not only is bhangra a vigorous dance form but almost all body parts get a work out. And in Punjab it comes so naturally to people," says Vishal who has always got positive feedback on including bhangra in his classes. "Not only does it adds variety to a schedule but burns calories faster which works very well for us." How much: Rs 2,200 in month, 5,500 three month. Bollywood rules Any dance form has an in-built exercise and that's what Dance World in Sector 17 and 34 make the most of. Depending on your requirement, they have plans. One can opt to learn anything from hip hop, salsa, Bollywood dancing or Western. "We have been in this business for nine years and been customising programmes for our clients," says Rajiv Garg, dance co-ordinator. While one would think that fitness freaks would opt for hip hop that has lots of breaking, locking and popping are all high energy workouts, Rajiv shares the opposite, "Most of the hip hop seekers are more passionate about learning the dance style but fitness freaks opt largely for Bollywood dancing. So, we have neatly divided our classes into 30 minutes fitness and 30 minutes dancing and you can pick the form you like." How much: The classes which are on from Monday to Friday are available for Rs 1,600 a month. Healthy steps Cardio dancing is what they have devised as fresh fitness forms. Combining dancing like bhangra, salsa, zumba and Bollywood into a fitness regime is not only refreshing but highly effective. "The workout should be fun and incorporating a dance form sure does the job," says Kritika Sharma, co-director of Engine Room-8. With different age groups, right from teens to elderly, they keep the technicalities in mind, altering the pace of the programme and more. How much: Rs 3,000 a month five days a week, 3 months package for Rs

Burning desire
n
Bhangra has always enjoyed patronage in city gyms due to its obvious connect. High energy moves help burn calories faster.
n
Salsa has probably been the oldest Latin American dance doing rounds in the city. A couple dance, this makes you meet new people too as you will find salsa parties happening in the region and any part of the world.
n
Zumba is relatively new in Tricity but gaining ground increasingly. Squats and lunges that are inherent part of this dance form make it befitting for fitness purpose.
n
Hip hop, the street dance has its own share of calorie busting moves and a cool style too

When black is not dark
Black metal is about dragon and death, right? The sub-genre given to extremities and associated with rebels!
As for the music, hasn't it been stereotyped as loud and noisy? French black-metal band The Plebeian Grandstand doesn't conform to the image that the genre and its propagators famously conjure up. "We are not a political band nor do we encourage people to do bad things. Even our lyrics can be quite poetic and dream like. We are not spunk at all," laughs 32-year-old Ivo Kaltchev (drummer), while in Chandigarh, on an invitation by Alliance Française de Chandigarh, in association with the Department of Tourism, Chandigarh Administration, and CITCO. It is but a few hours before the four head for a sound check and as a professor in physics and chemistry, he easily shuttles between the academic and the creative. "We are all into our different professions and juggle between our career and passion by organising time…Sometimes we don't play for weeks and just before the big day or our tour, we could be rehearsing for hours and hours." Joining him is 30-year-old Adrien Broue (vocals, keys), the founder member of the nine-year-old band and not to forget a PhD in Physics. Unless someone brings in sound engineering, physics never really gives way to music, all the more to lyrics. "I write most of the lyrics and they are about society, stress, modern day living, sadness, loneliness…We all get together and discuss the lyrics and make changes. The inspiration could come from observation, movies, friends or even the book that I happen to be reading." For instance, like the one he is reading currently which happens to be about prince Siddhartha. What an idea! With lyrics that could deal with practically any aspect of human life, the music inter-changes from blasting beats to slow tempo tracks. "At an emotional level, we started with this band to pour all our feelings into the kind of music we like. Grandstand is a forum and arena for exchange of ideas," shares the 29-year-old Simon Chaubard (guitar), yet another founder member and an optometrist. Each one brings in experiences and influences that ultimately reflect in the music that they create. "Our music is quite composed. We try to make smart music rather than loud music. We always try to paint an atmosphere. It's like you set out to make a scary movie and there are certain rules you abide by. We always focus on the atmosphere that we are looking at achieving." Indian flavour Any mention of music or movies here inevitably inches towards Bollywood. "We have heard that Bollywood is big here. But it is not so in France. We have heard about it but not seen any Hindi films. May be, we have time to catch up on some movies before we go," nods the 31- year-old Olivier Lolmede (bass, backing vocals) and also a graphic designer. Chips in Ivo, "We have heard of Pandit Ravi Shankar and I have heard Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan but we don't know what young people here listen to." Future plans With Chandigarh, it's a third stop of the five-city tour in India. Preceded by Pondicherry and the supportive Bangalore and to be followed by Kolkata and Delhi. As for the city, "It's a 40- minute-performance and we will be playing songs from our third album Lowgazers. Coming up is yet another by the end of next year. "We should record it by the end of next year and also tour Asia. Then there's a music festival coming up in Portugal in 2015." In the meanwhile, they all have their mainstream jobs to go back to. Professions that are far removed from music and lives that are anything but dark! manpriya@tribunemail.com

Shock treatment
In Detective Byomkesh Bakshi, Sushant Singh Rajput will be seen doing a long lip lock scene. It is, in fact, the longest onscreen kiss Sushant has done till date. Interestingly, Sushant was unaware about the scene and was caught off-guard when his co-star Swastika Mukherjee kissed him. Dibakar Banerjee had vaguely told Sushant that the scene required a peck where as on the other hand he had briefed Swastika at length and how he was keen to capture Sushant's natural shocked expression which was required in the scene. He was keen to capture Sushant's candid expression. It is an intimate scene where Swastika, who will be playing a seductress, surprised Sushant with the kiss. Dibakar managed to capture the exact expression he had envisioned and later explained it to Sushant as well. Dibakar Banerjee shares, "The scene was more than a kiss. It was about deception, intrigue and murder and I needed that something extra, that element of surprise that throws everyone off. But we had over-rehearsed it. The takes ended up being just like the rehearsals no surprise! Six takes, eight takes, still the same. I was worried. Then it struck me. I took Swastika aside and told her, 'Kiss him before he can say anything - and we won't tell him. Throw him off-guard."

All the right moves
Hail the happy feet, who danced their way into a foreign territory while making India one of the first to have participated in the World Championship of Rock and Roll at Sochi, Russia. Make way for the four dancing divas, from Dance Dacha, Jas K Shan's dance Academy in Chandigarh, as they speak volumes about their experience at the international level. Says Jas K Shan, "The reason why I wanted these children to participate in this competition was essentially to honour late Gursharan Singh (Deputy Director, Punjab Sports Department), who was the founder of the National Rock and Roll Federation."
At Moscow, she, along with the students, spent five days brushing their basics of rock and roll dance forms, including Boogie Woogie, Lindy's Hop and Rock and Roll acrobatics. She shares, "My main concern was to get the 11-year-olds to dance as a couple. In India, especially at the pre-teen age, it's very hard to convince the children to dance as a couple. Though girls seem to be more than willing to dance, it's hard to convince little boys," she says. Nevertheless, as she passed the first test of selecting the couples, everything else just followed quite in accordance with the plan. "The competition was scheduled to take place on September 27 and we first had to make the participants go through an intense five-day-long training at Moscow, where they were trained by the Titiana, who has trained the winners of the world Rock and Roll Championship in 2013," she says. "It was for the first time that India participated in this championship and I am very elated at the thought of it," she adds. Meanwhile, the participants, Abhay Raj Singh, Saanya, Jasleen and Karan share that the experience of dancing on an international stage provided them a whole new perspective of dance. "I noticed that in countries abroad, people take the art of dance more seriously than we do and during my training at Moscow, I learnt about how dance is a perfect blend of strength and techniques," says Abhay Raj. Both Saanya and Jasleen, who also visited Moscow and Sochi for the first time, share that the experience at the event was rather encouraging and liberating. "Even though we didn't win the competition, we learnt several techniques and tricks that will go a long way and next time, we will bring a winner's trophy home," they echo. Karan adds, "Those children have been learning rock and roll dance for more than six years, while we only learnt for a month-and-a-half, but I still think we did quite well." amarjot@tribunemail.com

Read between the lines
Call it beginner's luck; Bhaavna Arora's debut novel made it to Crosswords Bookstores' bestsellers' list placed besides the author, who grew up reading Paulo Coelho. Call it a coincidence; Adultery and The Deliberate Sinner touch on the same topics albeit in a different way.
One would place the blame with Fifty Shades of Grey for unleashing era of desi erotica, but Bhaavna likes to disagree. "When I started writing, around this time last year, I hadn't heard, forget reading, Fifty Shades of Grey." Another one that her book is constantly compared with is Sita's Curse; she defends, "I haven't read that either, I started but found it too heavy." The Deliberate Sinner, in her words, is straight out of the gut. The book that she finished in about 20-25 days took its sweet time to find publishers. "But once it came out, I got an overwhelming response. Launched around July, it is now a national bestseller having sold over 30,000 copies." Story of Rihana (Totta is her surname, yes, the same one you thought; Bhaavna is settled in Patiala if you need the hint) touches on two topics — lack of sexual satisfaction in seemingly happily married women, and how adultery is perceived differently for a man and a woman. Not an easy subject to be accepted, "But when I sat writing, I wasn't thinking of reactions or whether the book would find favour with readers." And, she places the credit for touching a subject that is still a taboo with Shobhaa De. Her debut book, is it also autobiographical, as is generally assumed? "Not really. Yes, I have picked up a lot from relationships I have seen around me. My parents, uncles and aunts and how both emotional as well as physical aspects are equally significant and related in a marital bond," says Bhaavna, who shares that her second book draws more from her real life and the protagonist is like herself — an Army officer's daughter and the story is told from her eyes. She insists, "I was able to write this book because I have faith in this. Having read Shobhaa De, I grew up to believe that I can talk about a woman's sexual needs too." A full-time writer now, having been an academician, Bhaavna happily opts for leadership lectures, is busy writing and practising yoga. She places her book for anyone 18 plus. "Going by fan mail I am receiving on a daily basis, the book is a hit with the young and old alike," says the writer. "It is an out-and-out entertainer and no erotica, as lovemaking scenes are integral to the plot," she adds. Published by Srishti, the 148-page book is priced at ~120.

Nine-yard wonder
Love for saris made Priyadarshini Nehru turn her passion into a profession. A holiday in Indore at her sister-in-law's place made her buy thirty Maheshwari saris, which sold like hotcakes in her circle. "I had little business acumen at that time," Priyadarshini says. She sourced more on demand and soon she was holding a small exhibition at a friend's salon!
"Soon the demand increased and I set up this small store," says Priyadarshini, who runs Shradha Saburi next to the same salon she started off in Sector 8. The small collection tucked in the corner of this place has frequent footfall, she claims, with all the women coming for all kind of beauty treatments. Priyadarshini, who loves saris and traditional weaves, has expanded beyond Maheshwari and has some Kaanjivarams, Banarasi and Tussar ones in her store. "The city doesn't offer too much choice in traditional weaves. I am against all kind of embellishments and would rather stick to rich weaves in my personal as well as store collection." You can spot a rich Banarsi in green or deep red Kanjivaram here. And, there are suits too, a few dupattas and some readymade blouses" "If you want a traditional sari, I can source it for you right from the weavers," promises Priyadarshini, who is planning to give further discounts as her store completes one year while also maintaining the rates, which are way lesser than the big stores in the region.

The abiding charm of SRK
Divya Dutta The first time that I met Shah Rukh Khan was in the Yashraj office. I was obviously introduced to him as a newcomer. What I expected was a casual 'hi', but what came my way was a gracious, chivalrous bow and a very warm handshake. I obviously was overwhelmed. 'Hope to work with you soon,' he said. The next meeting was in Delhi where both of us were shooting for different films. I messaged him that I wanted to meet up. He replied saying it would be a chaotic shoot at Connaught place, but he'd make sure I reach up to him safely. Reaching there I realised what he meant! Thousands of people had gathered to see him shoot. Shahrukh's man Friday came to escort me, with security, to the jeep he was supposed to drive for the shoot so that I could meet him quickly before he got busy. He calmly chatted with me with many people banging at the window panes to get his attention. He was warm and patient; we had a lovely chat and he was least distracted by the crowd around him. We actually got to shoot together for Veer Zaara; my first scene with him was in Delhi again. My dialect was different in the film and he was mighty impressed with it. And he asked me my favourite word from that dialect — I said Main Julli Haan, meaning I am going. He beautifully used the line in his own dialogues to wish me in the goodbye scene. That's Shahrukh — super-intelligent, alert, sensitive and very charming. Recently after attending awards function abroad, we all flew back together —Abhishek Bachchan, Vidya Balan, Shahrukh and me. He really wanted to sleep through the flight, but I requested him to play dumb charades instead! And he, very happily, joined in. Dumb charades it was for the next four hours of the flight and he just made everyone have so much fun. He didn't leave the airport till the ladies had their cars whisk them away! As I got out of the preview of Happy New Year recently, amongst the whistles and applause for him, I was all praise for the man called Shahrukh! (Dutta is a Bollywood actor)

G R Iranna is one the few younger generation Indian artists whose art has been taken seriously and appreciated at various national and international art forums apart from generating immense curiosity and enthusiasm among art critics, curators, art historians collectors, museums and galleries.
