Marriages may be made in heaven, but more and more couples are now solemnising them at exotic locations. It may leave you baffled if you still haven’t received an invite for an out-of-this-world marriage party, but prospective brides and grooms are actually tying the knot with the idea of legalising their coming together at outlandish locations like Thailand, and even Malaysia. Even couples facing difficulties in going abroad due to financial, or family, reasons are just not taking each other for better or worse in green belts adjoining their houses, or in hotels decked up, with nice psychedelic lights, especially for the purpose. They are undertaking the uphill task of organising ostentatious weddings by driving down the road meandering its way through the hustle and bustle of city existence for reaching Kasauli, or other pristine locations.Purva Grover Early 1990s: A husband gets back home after a late night meeting.

It’s periodical, but the message the students of Department of Indian Theatre are trying to spread is very much relevant to modern society. So when you watch the Pradhan trying to get his illiterate brother-in-law appointed as Kotwal in the king’s court, you know it’s an appeal for the masses to give people their due recognition on basis of merit.S. D. Sharma “Folk music of any region has a soulful touch that makes people long to hear it,” asserts the versatile folk singer Dolly Guleria, disciple and daughter of legendary Surinder Kaur. Dolly with her unique gayaki has been reigning supreme for four decades. Environment go a long way in grooming of an artiste and Dolly was lucky to have imbibed the essential traits at home. But at the same time Dolly has to face the truth for any progeny of a celebrity, it is a challenge to come up to the level of expectation. After 16 weeks of strenuous exercise regime, challenges, eliminations and emotional trauma, the moment of declaring the winner of Biggest Loser Jeetega has arrived. Anandita Gupta On a balmy weekday afternoon, a motley group of city couples tiptoe into Ruby Tuesday. Glowing with confidence and buoyed by chutzpah, these duos seem keen on savoring the taste — not just of the lunch, but of life’s ‘fun’ pie as well. And so begins a scintillating conversation that sparkles with jokes, fitness tips, movies, brands, designers… Mind you, these are no ‘desperate housewives’ and their hubbies, seeking refuge from domestics with a film followed by foodie delights.
