All that Jazz
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. "I was fortunate that I didn't have to struggle much, unlike back in Punjab where singers really have to face a lot of odds," he says. A track with Yo Yo Honey Singh, High Heels, made Jazz a household name in Punjab; a feat that he would want to repeat in the future. "High Heels clicked with everyone in India and abroad as well. If I work with Honey Singh again, I would still maintain my style and not get into controversial singing for I just want to entertain people with my songs; nothing more," he adds. With more than one million YouTube views, now it's Jazz Dhami's Zulfa that is flowing everywhere. Featuring Dr Zeus, the track underlines his talent. "My style is versatile; I want to bring in variation in my tracks and whatever I sing. This is the reason Zulfa is different from High Heels; the next one will be more different." With those dark shades sitting like a permanent fixture on his face, Jazz doesn't let that be any deterrent! Collaborations get our attention and we assume his as well. "A meaningful collaboration is good; it brings two fan bases together. When we did High Heels, the response was great as it clicked with my fans and Honey's as well." The next collaboration comes with a French artist. A single, we assume, in fact this is the latest trend with singers. Who bothers about the album! "Cutting singles is a Western phenomenon, which is nice. Ideally, I would also want to release some popular tracks and then maybe compile them in an album," shares Jazz without hiding the desire of collaborating with Bollywood singer Sukhwinder Singh some day. "He is a great guy," he smiles, exposing that buck tooth. Launching his own record label definitely figures on his must-do list; at the same time Jazz wants to pick up singing talent from Punjab as well. "We have some great talent here; I would want to give them an opportunity." Between things, we certainly can't help sharing our inevitable query — is acting next on charts? "Not at all; I am not an actor, I am a singer. I have always wanted to sing, I want to win the Grammy some day," he says. And if you thought this is it, this UK-based singer is also big time involved in encouraging Asians to get into football. "I have worked with The Football Association, Chelsea FC, Aston Villa FC, Liverpool FC as well as grassroots football clubs, on various campaigns," says Jazz. From being an ambassador for Chelsea's 'Search for an Asian Star' campaign three years in a row to 'Back the Birmingham Bid' for the 2018 World Cup Campaign, Jazz has done it all. Along with music of course! jasmine@tribunemail.com

Perfectly attuned
"As an artiste, I define music as whatever people like. I'm an entertainer and I'm out there with a purpose, which is to make the crowds feel good," she shares, in Chandigarh, for Disco Fridays at Ten Downing Street, Hotel Altius. It's an on and off visit to the city that plays home to guest DJ, each weekend. "This time, I'm coming after one-and-a-half year." When not pleasing crowds, a lot of things take a backstage and from thereon each and every genre is open to discovery. "I like to check YouTube for different kinds of music; I research on music to keep updated with music trends." Having to play for a continuous two to three hours on retro music didn't require much groundwork since, "Retro Bollywood music is my personal favourite anyway. I didn't struggle much because I'm already much updated on the genre. I'll be playing a couple of my remixes and also some of the remixes by my fellow DJs, who I feel have done a great job." Among the countless commercial hits from the 70s, 80s and 90s, "Bachna Ae Haseeno, Roop Tera Mastana, Gulabi Ankhen are some of the personal favourites." Much more than producing music, a DJ gets to play music and at several places for that matter. "Last year's Holi gig with Honey Singh in front of a crowd of several thousand was the most memorable." Being a drummer in school, there was always an inclination to make the passion a profession; an arrangement that's proved profitable for her. "I'm the only female DJ to have worked with a lot of Bollywood producers and have done as many as six movies, nine official tracks." She adds, "I've done a song in Dedh Ishqiya with Honey Singh called Horn OK Please. That was my original debut." What remains the most requested are, nevertheless, remixes. "I remixed Roop tera mastana last year as a tribute to Rajesh Khanna, which is requested quite a lot by the crowds. Then there are also a couple of remixes from the film Rangeela, followed by Pehla Nasha." Like with every professional in the music industry, working with AR Rahman remains a dream. As for the rest, "I want to do more and more movies. Probably do the highest number of movies." She laughs, "I enjoy everything as long as I get to see my name on the CD." manpriya@tribunemail.com

Another flop show
Jasmine Singh
Movie: Veeran Naal Sardari 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. With a cast whose presence and absence is one and the same thing, VNS has Rai Jujhar, Jaspinder Cheema, Sapna Thakur, Harry Ahluwalia, Armaan Kagra, Gurchet Chitrakar and Sukhbir Razia. Do you know anyone? Have you heard of them before? Harinder Gill has written the story of the film that reveals itself somewhere in the middle of the film when you are almost feeling infected. But you are still not sure of the story! It has something to do with veeran (brothers), sardari with girls, with villains, with a snooty girl, with a simpleton guy and then some childlike fight sequences. Forget about something as technical as cinematography, why burden the poor filmmaker with it? And dialogues…are you talking about dialogues, yeh kis shai ko kehtey hain? We now come to the actors, or it's better to say the few people who willingly fitted in the screen. First comes first—Raj Jujhar, the Punjabi singer, who is being passed off as a college student! C'mon what's wrong with Punjabi cinema? As for the actor, he is a good singer but then sometimes one shouldn't push their luck too far. Jaspinder Cheema of Ek Kudi Punjab Di has some talent that has to be scarped really well to find that out. As for the rest of the actors, never mind what they do. A few songs here and there with some kaam chalau dancers in the backdrop who are also on their own dance trip, the movie is a germ that can damage your health if you don't have an immunity for it.

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. "From the raw material that is wheat and glutton-free to garnishing, every ingredient that we use is strictly organic," says the chef. By this he means fresh veggies that have been grown minus the use of any form of pesticides are being put to use and refined flour, the favourite material for making pasta, is replaced by the healthier option of whole wheat. The term organic is further justified as chef informs that the variety of pasta available at the bar-oricchetti, rigatoni, fussily, penne, fettuccini, pappardlle, spaghetti—are all hand crafted. "In fact, no artificial colours have been used to add colour to pasta. We have used papaya, beetroot and spinach to give orange, pink and green." To customise the experience further, chef says there is an option to select the type of pasta, sauce, vegetables, garnishing. "We even welcome guests telling us to garnish pasta or grate cheese on the table." He hopes that the step will change the notion that the pasta is fattening. "It's rather healthier than so many other food choices because you get to add veggies, which are not deep fried. It's cooked in olive oil, which is again a better option and is served with cheese." What makes it unhealthy is people picking up wrong ingredients. And to put across the point, how pasta can be incorporated into our daily diet, he refers to the iconic dialogue of the cult Italian film, La Dolce Vita, "Life is a combination of love and pasta." A meal at Oregano will cost around Rs 550 to 1500 per person. The menu at pasta bar is available during the dinner time till
January 31.

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.
Painting exhibition by students and faculty of Bharat Academy of Fine Arts, Ambala at Shobha Singh Art Gallery is delight to visit. "This is our third exhibition in Chandigarh. It's always a pleasure to comeback because people here appreciate our work," says Shivani Rajpal, artist and director of the academy, now into its tenth year. Artworks of 47 students are put on display. "We don't give projects to students. Instead we ask them what they have an inclination for and help them improve
on it. " The exhibition is on till January 19 --Ashima Batish

Not tempting enough
Paranthe Wali Gali 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. Confused fare I think that the story of the film has a lot of potential, but it is not presented with conviction. Also, the film is very confusing since there are too many elements in it. It's a one-time watch. Isha Chabbra, student Not so powerful The film is set in the backdrop of theatre and it is a journey into the theatre life of the city and though there are a lot of emotional dimensions to the film, it fails to retain the interest of the viewer. Saksham Sharma, student Quite drab I didn't like either the film or its plot. It's not very interesting and it has a lot of glitches, which make it look drab. Abhinav Puri, bank employee Karle Pyaar Karle Directed by Rajesh Pandey and produced by Suneel Darshan, Karle Pyaar Karle is a romantic film. It features Shiv Darshan and Hasleen Kaur in the lead roles. The film is an edgy love story of two rebels, Kabir and Preet. The unstable environment within their homes manifests into their daring attitude towards life. Right from their childhood, Kabir and Preet indulge in playing borderline dangerous games trying to defy fear and complexes within. The film is a journey of their unbridled games as they discover themselves and each other. But, problems arise and Preet decides to part ways with Kabir, who firmly believes they should be together. Loosely knit I didn't quite like the film. It's a very average attempt at making a romantic film. It's a one-time watch. There is nothing very interesting or gripping in the film. Manish Gupta, student Stale story It's an okay kind of a film, but I didn't like it at all. There is no story in the film and it fails to keep the audience entertained. Also, the actors have not done a very good job in the film. Vishwajeet Singh, businessperson

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. As Gurcharan Singh Chani says about the endeavour, "Theatre is a medium to understand children's world better and picking up popular plays would have meant creating barriers between children and us." The festival will see the participation by students of 20 government schools. Instead of trained theatre artistes, facilitators have been hired and trained by the Chandigarh Sangeet Natak Akademi, which is the also the organising body of the festival, in collaboration with the UT Department of Education and Department of Cultural Affairs. "We wanted children to come up with their stories and present them on the stage as they see the world around them. A facilitator would help them with props and teach them dialogue delivery, strictly to be written by children," Chani says. As a result, the stories that are coming out at the festival are on issues children face at home with their parents, in society, sexual discrimination…Like there is a story of a daughter of a potter, who wants to hide her identity in school and other of a girl, whose brother is given preference when it comes to education. While theatre festivals are a regular affair at private schools, for the students of government schools, this is for the first time that such an initiative has been taken. "Theatre is a tool to bring the issues out in the open and find solutions. Children have a very low-esteem, and this is one way of ensuring that they develop confidence," Chani adds. On at Sector 17 Plaza till January 24

Vibrant vitality
Kandla Nijhowne 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, texture and identity. Have you noticed that a stir fry, a tossed salad or a dish of pan seared veggies looks so vibrant and is so crisp in texture as compared to our "baingan bharta" or aloo gobhi. We need to experiment with food and encourage colour and crunch. Do take the pot off the fire a tad early. Even though most soups are cooked and pureed, it doesn't necessarily mean the ingredients need to be overcooked. Spinach soup can be prepared in a blink with minimal cooking time so the end result is a bowlful of vibrant green goodness instead of a dull gray liquid which neither tempts nor imparts nutrition. Spinach jade soup * 2-3 tbsp butter * 1 onion finely chopped * 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped * 1 medium potato peeled and chopped into chunks * 2 cups stock * 2 cups milk 1 water * 1 bundle of spinach (roughly 500 gm) * Half a lemon * Salt and pepper to taste * Grated nutmeg, to taste * 3 tbsp double cream * 50 gm processed cheese Method * Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. * Peel and chop the potato into small dices. * Wash the spinach in several changes of water, then chop finely. * Grate the lemon peel to obtain a fine zest. Keep aside. * Using a heavy pot, saute the onion and garlic in butter. * Add the potato, stir well, then pour in the stock and allow to simmer, covered. * When the potato bits are tender, add most of the spinach, lemon zest well as the milk. * The spinach will wilt within a minute. Then puree the contents till smooth. * Season with salt and pepper and grated nutmeg. * At this point you may dilute the soup further if preferred, with more stock, water or milk. * Arrange some leftover raw spinach at the bottom of some soup bowls. Ladle hot soup over them (The heat will blanch the leaves just enough!) * Swirl in the cream and some cheese shavings if using. Note: You may use a chicken or veggie stock for this recipe. Weight watchers can substitute cream with beaten yoghurt. The waiting half a lemon can be juiced and used for a tangy flavour, to be added only while serving. (Nijhowne is a Chandigarh-based culinary expert)

Justin Bieber’s friends want him to check into rehab?
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 people, who care about Justin, wish he would consider getting help," a source said. It was also reported that Bieber's on-and-off girlfriend Selena Gomez, 21, had asked him to attend anger management classes following a string of bad behaviour, which includes allegedly throwing eggs at his neighbour's home last week, a prank that resulted in his home being raided. — PTI

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.
Only those who are puritans care to check the contents of the 'apparent' winter wear. The rest just take colour and silhouette into consideration. On this account, designer Rahul Mishra's achievement of winning the International Woolmark Prize for India gains further significance. Several other names from the Indian fashion industry have taken up the cause of revamping wool, a job not easy. Beat the chill For Indian winter, which descends only in the Northern part of the country and doesn't last for more than two months, many defend cotton replacing wool as the winter wear. It is also low on maintenance and cheaper, if particularly compared to the price of fine Merino wool. Harinder Singh, owner of Uni Style Impex, an export house in Delhi that manufactures clothes for leading labels, explains, "Even during the day in winter, it's not very cold. Also people like to layer up, making pure wool actually redundant." Knitting might be a traditional craft of Northern India, but that doesn't necessarily translate into people having adequate knowledge about the 'make' of the wool. It is often confused with acrylic. "Wool has very limited use in India due to short span of the winter; South India doesn't experience the change in season at all," says Rahul Mishra. The designer after working with Merino wool extensively has now taken up the cause of cool wool, an innovation that would make wool mainstream. "It will be more comfortable than cotton in extreme summer and will be apt to wear in winter. It will be an all-weather wear fabric, made from the finest possible yarn," Rahul adds.
Experiment mode While his experiments with wool have become quite famous now, there are others also trying new things with it. Take designer couple Paras and Shalini for example. Their expertise is at creating cocktail wear and it is in this segment that they have incorporated the 'unfashionable' wool in the form of pashmina and pashmina sarees. The very important style element is added by merging Chantilly lace with pashmina. "Wedding season begins with the advent of winter and women don't want to die freezing in dipping temperatures. Pashmina sarees make for a fancy and sensible option. Each season we do better business than the last, which hints at their increasing popularity," they echo. Pankaj and Nidhi, Aneeth Arora, Rajesh Pratap Singh, are some other designers who have worked with wool of late. Another fashion designer duo, Ritika and Gaurav, if not on the whole, used wool in bits and pieces for making frills of jumpsuits and shirts. "And that gave it a winter feel. Plus they are hand-knit, something we don't associate with designer-wear these days," says Ritika, who for the particular collection derived inspiration from sculptures and architecture work of Delhi. Fashion designers might be picking wool, giving it a makeover, but the yarn has lost its original charm; reason being the market of hand-knit sweaters going extinct. On any evening, Wool Store, a wool yarn shop in Sector 32, Chandigarh, brims with customers, but you ask its owner, Ram Gopal Mahajan and he has a different story to tell, "There is hardly any market now; the rush used to be ten times of this ten years back." All the more reason why Rahul Mishra deserves applause for his experiments with wool! ashima@tribunemail.com

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.
The actors were quite overwhelmed with the love and appreciation they received from their fans in Jalandhar. One such fan was Nancy Dutta, a London resident, who travelled all the way to Jalandhar only to catch the glimpse of the duo. When this loyal fan got the news of her favourite jodi visiting Jalandhar, in a split second she made her decision and packed her bags and landed there. Sony Entertainment Television made her dream come true by giving her a life-time opportunity to meet her beloved stars. Amazed by this sweet gesture Ruslaan Mumtaz exclaimed, 'As an actor, I really respect and love my fans. They play a very important role in my life. I like to talk and interact with my fans who have showered me with love and appreciation. Nancy keeps interacting with me on a regular basis on Twitter and Facebook. She puts my pictures, shares my work, likes my comments and what not. I think it is quite overwhelming that someone is taking time off from their daily chores and putting so much effort for me. I follow all my fans on Twitter and always try to acknowledge their love and support." Name game Sunil Grover's show, which also stars Manish Paul, is stuck on the name of the show. They can't decide about the name. Buzz is that it will be on the lines of Saturday Night With Jay Leno. Even Shekhar Suman took inspiration from him for his show Movers & Shakers. Rahil is back Rahil Azam of Hatim fame might soon make a comeback to TV. He is in talks with the makers of Gunahon Ka Devta sequel. They were earlier trying to rope in Gurmeet Choudhary but now Rahil seems to be on. It will be a love story based on Dharamvir Bharti's book. Masters of the game Geeta Kapoor and Ahmed Khan will be back as judges on DID L'il Masters 3. The duo was seen in DID Dance Ka Tashan and they will be accompanied by Mudassar too. The show stars from March 1. Something brewing? Tanishaa and Armaan Kohli, who made news with their closeness on Bigg Boss, have gotten closer since the show ended. After spending time together on New Years, now it seems the couple will go abroad to celebrate Valentine's Day. Picture perfect Actor Mrunal Jain, who plays the lead role in Uttaran, also loves photography. Mrunal talks about turning a photographer. He says, “I was always interested in photography. I was keen but could never really practice it. The camera was a wedding gift to me by my wife. There has been no looking back now. I started clicking pictures almost everywhere, on the sets, on the roads and with each click I get better. Shrenu takes a stand Buzz is that Shrenu Parikh of Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon...Dobara? declined doing intimate scenes for the show. She wasn't comfortable with some scenes and asked the makers to tone it down. Apparently she even turned down a film offer due to some intimate scenes in it. Shrenu is clear about what she wants and what she doesn't.

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.
Stage fright I recently performed in Manali for New Year's Eve. My show was scheduled to start from 7pm. It started raining and the temperature dropped to minus two degrees. I was terribly disappointed as I thought that no one would turn up in that weather. But I was completely taken aback when a crowd of 4,000 braved the freezing cold to attend the show. This experience left me truly humbled. The year that is The success of Honey Singh and more recently, Arijit Singh makes me feel good. New voices keep you on your toes. This year, I plan to try some more Sufi songs and make my stage shows more entertaining. I met Shah Rukh Khan recently and he wanted to know how I managed 15 shows in a month. I replied that it is the love of my fans and my hard work that makes me do it. I am really looking forward to my song in Atul Agnihotri's film as well. Living life king-size Money is important, as I like to live my life king-size. However, I am not a squanderer. Years ago, people warned me against my flamboyant ways as singers always maintained a low profile. I don't believe in that mentality. I don't like to hoard my money; I am not chindi (miserly). If I can afford a driver, I would rather employ one than drive myself. On marriage Actually, I am waiting for Salman bhai (Salman Khan) to get married and then I'll tie the knot (laughs out loud). On a serious note, this year I plan to give marriage, some more thought. Whether it is love or arranged, only time will tell. Once Vivek (Vivek Oberoi) asked me about marriage and I replied that not everyone was as lucky as him to have Priyanka in his life. Similarly, I always tell Shaan, "How did you manage to land up with a great woman like Radhika in your life? You are such a jhalla." She's a sweetheart and looks after the family so beautifully. Aaj kal aisi ladki kahaan hai? If I get a girl like her, my life will be set (laughs). Controversies galore Almost every celebrity has faced a controversy in their life. While some make genuine mistakes, the rest just get embroiled. A few of them play up to the 'bad boy image' for a few days and then suddenly go into hibernation. I should be chastised if I have done wrong but if someone maligns my name, I will fight back like anything. I don't believe in hiding or running away.

Emraan’s son Ayan is recovering
Though stable, Ayan still remains in ICU for further medical observation. It is believed that doctors would decide on the future course of medical action post the tests and it could possibly include chemotherapy. Emraan, who was shooting in South Africa, has cancelled all his assignments to be by his son's side. We pray and wish that little Ayan bounces back soon. |

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.
Imtiaz says, "Maahi Ve is coming more from Rahman sir than from Irshad or me. This is one of the songs that Rahman sir makes one wonder as to how he gets the soul of the story so beautifully. Maahi Ve was not a part of the original brief but I cannot imagine the film or the album of Highway without it now."
