 Weaving magic
with flute
His name may not ring a bell, but Jagdish Kumar is
no stranger for anyone who has visited the Sector 17 shopping complex
and enjoyed lilting tunes of his flute. Be it the chilly evening wind
in winters or the balmy summer breeze, his tunes add a surreal touch
to the atmosphere at the busy shopping plaza.
Life is
a journey, he enjoys the drive
Young at heart … other parts slightly older. That is Mr Navjivan
Khosla, former bureaucrat and ace camper and travel enthusiast. When most persons of his age are leading a (re)tired life, 81-
year- old Mr Khosla is busy living life to its fullest. It is,
perhaps, keeping in mind persons like him that a famous advertisement
one liner “…main office se retire hua hoon, zindagi se nahin”
has been made.
Young Achiever
 Riding the IT boom
wave
When the entrepreneurship bug bit Arvind Dixit in 2000, he chucked
his job of three years to start Advance Technologies in Chandigarh.
The fact that he had less than Rs 2000 to invest in the business did
not deter the young man from Agra with a BE from IET, Lucknow. He
derived inspiration and strength from the fact that Infosys, Wipro and
other big names in the IT field today also had humble beginnings.
Trendy
jute items on display
IT is fashionable and eco- friendly. We are talking of jute —
which is making a style statement in personal accessories like hand
bags, footwear and jewellery, or home accessories like furniture,
framed, paintings, lamps or door and window moulds.

Chandigarh, January 9

Department today organised a meet for the sarpanches of the Raipur
Rani block at the health centre there.
