Finding her way
  Puneetinder Kaur Sidhu, who loves to travel alone, shares her European experiences in her maiden book
        
        
 Adrift In Amsterdam I had my
        bottom felt by a woman." This is one of the many anecdotes that
        pepper Puneetinder Kaur Sidhu's eminently readable travel book Adrift.
        Her maiden step in the literary world, it recounts her journey across
        Europe. Lest you make the Amsterdam experience a benchmark for more mirch
        masala let it be known that Puneetinder resisted all persuasion to
        spice up her first book. Of course, when she approached publishers with
        her manuscript she was asked to sex it up and fictionalise it.
 
Jumbo theory
"Our music draws inspiration from films, video games, contemporary composers, Roma music and original scores. Every performance is accompanied by video installations. The  idea is to refresh the playlist for every show."
 Music can be invented, re-invented, revived…and still there is more to explore. There can be infinite inspirations to make music and still there can be no reason to create a symphony. Okay, lets stop being over the top and come to the point.
 
Absolutely fit
  Like there is a woman behind every man’s success, there is a fitness trainer behind those
        well-toned bodies in Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan's six pack abs would have
      almost made it into some record book had our Ghajini boy not
      startled everyone with his eight ka punch! Just when we were thinking
      about macho Saif, John Abraham or Sanjay Dutt coming with a higher
      numerical configuration in the 'ab race', the dark horse of the industry
      Ajay Devgun flashed his pictures of a fabulous, well-toned body, sans the
      abs.
 
Shake a leg
Choreographer Fatima Khanam is set to open her dance academy in the city
 Dance has never been a
      classroom subject. In fact, it has never been a subject. It has always
      been a way of life, a cultural activity, a passion and, well, a medium for
      entertainment, but never a subject. But Fatima Khanam is here to
      make that happen. Lets us introduce her as a choreographer for the past 10
      years, who has taught corporates to shake a leg, made leggy models walk in
      rhythm at international fashion weeks, groomed beauty queens (Miss
      Punjanban on ETC) and judged reality shows, 'Nachle Yaara' on ETC as
      well). Oh and did we mention, assisted Farah Khan in Main Hoon Naa
      (that should have been the first on list).

The King Kong star returned to work just weeks after giving birth to her second child, son Samuel, in December 2008, and shot new drama Mother and Child but fears she is coming up short on both aspects of her
        life. "Every single day, I second-guess myself as a mother. I chose to be a mum.
