Nothing to lose!
It’s impossible not to draw parallels between the author and the protagonist. The protagonist is a writer who leaves a book incomplete; the author churns out a book from a once unfinished film script. Sounds complicated? “It wasn’t easy writing this book. First of all the plot was complicated, secondly it was non-linear and thirdly I was dealing with a subject of salvation.

Net Diwali gifts!
Gone are the days when the festive season meant running around and dropping brown paper packages tied up with strings to various corners of the city. If you are among the techno-friendly population of Chandigarh, get hold of your Macbook and make life easier, with an emoticon. Most of the big players of the web world have rolled up their sleeves and are ready to send anything you desire to any corner of the world!

In fool’s paradise
Men are men. They fool themselves into thinking they are two inches slimmer than they actually are, a survey has revealed. The average man was 35.8 inches, 2.1 inches slimmer than the English average of 37.9 inches and 2.2 inches smaller than the Scottish average of 38 inches, according to the poll which questioned 1,000 British men to guess their waist size. Researchers found 87 per cent of men did not know how to measure their waists. Around half wrongly said it was measuring just above their hips, while just 13 per cent knew the correct method, which involves measuring at the midpoint between their ribs and the top of the hips.

Natural instinct
It's not always easy to find photographers who can make their pictures speak those proverbial 'thousand words'. TPS Sandhu and Ranjodh Singh are among those rare ones, if their photo exhibition, Drititkon, is anything to by. Talking about the message behind the exhibition, Ranjodh says, "Dritikon is basically how we have seen nature." Visible in their collection are the positives and negatives that exist in nature.

Bright & shining
Since times immemorial, jewellery has afforded women that complete; sensuous yet traditional look. To celebrate that very look and to pay a tribute to the great Indian beauty, Art Karat comes up with its Aishwarya collection at a jewellery exhibition-cum-sale at the Capitol hall, Hotel Taj, Chandigarh. The people behind these fabulous creations are Asha Kamal Modi and Saket Modi, who have been very much inspired from the jewellery worn by Aishwarya Rai in many of her movies.

Fair for all fares!
It's a one-stop shopping destination! And it's a customized perfect fit for everyone. It is definitely not bigger, but definitely better this time! The butterflies at the entrance give a warm and refreshing welcome at the Vanity Fair, which opened its flower-laden doors for the up-market crowd of Chandigarh on Saturday. With too much bling happening, it's also too much happening at one go, but then it's always been such and has only gone brighter as well as colourful!

Colouring the canvas
Pulled together by common spiritual thoughts, Rubel Pasricha, Rosy Grover and Neena Seghal have put up an exhibition of their works at the Government Museum and Art Gallery-10. Rubel Paricha, the young blood among the three, has enjoyed painting since her childhood days. Inclined towards Buddha, several of her works are based on his teachings.
