All that Jazz
From High Heels to Zulfa, singer Jazz Dhami is moving up the popularity charts with each passing day. Up next, he wants to provide opportunities to talented singers from Punjab…
Behind those dark glasses, he hides a million dreams waiting to take off any minute. The red-coloured sneakers define the spring in his steps. Internationally acclaimed singer Jazz Dhami, with no gel shining on the ends of his hair strands or a put-on accent, tabulates his musical journey; not in chronological order though. His latest single Zulfa has struck the right notes and the singer is on a tour with Universal Music's Now that's what I call desi, moving faster in his High Heels'.
Music is something that interested him always; supportive parents and good luck and Jazz hit it right.
Perfectly attuned
Whoever designates remixing as a lazy approach to music production, perhaps overlooked the bouncing crowds. Nothing gets the guests grooving more than an old song in a new beat. DJ Angel keeps her eyes firmly on the dance floor and her hands on the console. Everything else gets drowned in the din of the music.

Another flop show
We bet you all know how doctors emphasise on the word immunity. How important it is for us to develop immunity against germs or maybe a particular kind of bacteria! While watching Punjabi film Veeran Naal Sardari, you wish you had a strong immunity to stomach this one.
Directed by Harinder Gill, the film looks like it has been pulled out from the dark corners of the closet.

Exotic palate
It's a sincere attempt to change the way people cook and eat pasta and then conveniently grade it as junk food. Or worse, degrade it as an unhealthy food option that will never find a mention in a dietician's prescribed chart. Chef Anotonello Cannceda, Italian Chef De Cuisine, aims to change that through the Pasta Bar at JW Marriott and catapult the staple Italian dish from a filler to a fuller food option.
Creative corner
The true celebration of art is actually something like this: under one roof, there are paintings by artists who are trained and by those who have taken to it just for the love of creating something, the themes ranging from the very serious Delhi rape case to the simple interpretation of space, and a group of artists who fall in the age group between five and fifty eight years.

Not tempting enough
Directed and produced by the award-winning playwright and theatre director, Sachin Gupta, under Chilsag-Civitech Motion Pictures, Paranthe Wali Gali is an Indian romantic comedy film. It is produced by Sachin Gupta and Sushma Gupta and co-produced by Subodh Goel and Alka Goel. The film stars Anuj Saxena and Neha Pawar in the lead roles.
Children in charge
There couldn't be a more democratic way of introducing children to theatre, where no established names from the fraternity are used to publicise the first of its kind Children's Theatre Festival, no theatre teachers are employed to teach acting to children and no stories are culled from the literature to be enacted on stage. It's theatre for children, by children and of children, by all means.

Vibrant vitality
In the realm of good health, if cooking has destroyed the colour of a vegetable, it has lost vitality in the process. Unfortunately, Indian cuisine has quite a few mushy preparations which have lost their colour,

Teen pop sensation Justin Bieber is reportedly being asked by his close friends to seek help in a rehab for his alleged use of recreational drugs and behavioural issues.
The 19-year-old Baby hit maker's friends and family are said to be deeply concerned about him, following a police raid on his home in Calabasas, California, reported a publication online. "The people, who care about Justin, wish he would consider getting help," a source said.
Aamir wants to see ‘Jai Ho’

"Waiting to watch your film Salman! Release se pehle dikhade mere bhai (Brother, please show me the film before its release). Jai Ho," Aamir posted on twitter.
Spinning a yarn
In biting cold, even as you think a layer of cardigan can guarantee some warmth, the hundred per cent cotton claim on the tag sewn at the seams disappoints no end. The proclaimed winter collections by a majority of retail brands are hardly warm, hardly woollen.

When fans come calling
There's no doubt that Ruslaan Mumtaz and Sangeeta Ghosh, the lead pair of Sony Entertainment Television's popular romantic saga Kehta Hai Dil…Jee Le Zara, have a huge fan following. The strikingly different characters that they portray has been well-appreciated by the viewers both nationally and internationally. The actors recently got a taste of their popularity during a channel meet and greet engagement activity called Sony Mahotsav which was organised in Jalandhar.
Mika Singh unplugged!
Mika Singh is the man with the Midas Touch or rather Midas Voice. Whichever song he sings becomes a chartbuster, right from Mauja hi mauja to Ganpat to Subah hone na de and the recent Gandi baat. The entertaining singer talks about music, movies, contemporaries and marriage.
Emraan’s son Ayan is recovering
Emraan Hashmi's little son Ayan, who was detected with a tumour in his kidney, was successfully operated upon on at Hinduja hospital recently. Emraan's uncle heaved a sigh of relief at the operation having gone off successfully. "It was like a time bomb ticking inside his body. Thankfully it's out now," Mahesh was quoted saying.
Rahman returns to singing
After Patakha Guddi sent the entire nation rocking to the beats of Highway, music maestro A R Rahman has taken to the microphone himself for the next song from the flick Maahi Ve. Directed by Imtiaz Ali, Highway is a road movie starring Alia Bhatt and Randeep Hooda. They traverse through six states of north India in the course of the film. Maahi Ve, written by Irshad Kamil, is a soft romantic number sung by Rahman in his inimitable soulful way. It has been picturised on Veera (Alia) and Mahabir (Randeep), as circumstances bring the two strangers close to each other.
