The colours & cupshup of cricket
They are more than you thought. Some collections:
Going
for a six
As India ready to tackle
Bangladesh today, World Cup fever is attaining the proportions of an
epidemic in the city
Saurabh Malik
An
everlasting itch to stay at home after dark! Abhorrence for bed with
desire to spend long sleepless nights on the sofa with feet on the
table. A constant yearning for savouring more than just action on
the television set. A fixation for the giant screen. And a longing
to live in a different time zone — the symptoms of the World Cup
fever are loud and clear! As India gets ready to tackle her rivals on Saturday, the fever is fast attaining the proportions of an epidemic with more and more people catching the bug.

A taste of Carribean
Calypso cuisine is all set to hit a six, courtesy the World Cup fever! The city—never one to be left out of any excitement—even ‘curries’ sports into its food! So, get ready to sample Caribbean cooking accompanied by a swig of ‘Inzy’s Sweep’ (a slow moving yet potent cocktail) along with all the cricketing fever on a big screen at Manor, Sector 26.
Small IS really smart
All good things bloom in small size, Mandeep Sekhon tells Saurabh Malik
She finds big pleasure in small things. No wonder, almost every thing in Mandeep Sekhon’s garden is miniature.
Push open the impressive gates to her palatial Sector 9 house and you experience big pleasure – the lush grass accords a green carpet welcome, bonsais all along the garden do their bit too. It looks like a scene straight out of a fairy-tale!
In fact, admiring the undersized trees with charm sticking out in form of roots, you feel like Gulliver in Lilliput. It hardly takes you a minute to realise why her wonderland with all things minute was adjudged the best by the Chandigarh Administration in the “big garden category” during the recently concluded Rose Festival.

It’s a woman’s world
Smriti Sharma
It’s a woman’s world and what better way to accept it than having an entire spread dedicated to women. No, we are not referring to any museum that houses all that a woman wants but the ongoing exhibition “Woman 2007” at Hotel Shivalik View.
Some eye-candy!
It’s the collection that perhaps every woman desires to own. Yes, for the first time in the city, the most sparkling, sunshine yellow, gold jewellery pieces are on exhibit, courtesy Tribhovandas Bhimji Zaveri of Mumbai.
The exhibition that opened at Hotel Aroma has brought in some of the most exquisite gold and diamond pieces. With more than 20 in-house designers, the exhibition has literally everything that one can think of.
Durries
all the way
Saurabh Malik
Cheerful cotton and woollen durries in shades and styles to match your room’s décor and mood are fast pushing the concept of carpets under the rug.
Going by the sales volume of durries, more and more residents nowadays prefer them over carpets. At the Sector 9 home décor and garment house, Fab India, the number of residents picking up durries to replace carpets has increased by over 20 per cent during the past one
year.
