Classical Christmas
Christmas evening will see a special treat in store for lovers of Hindustani music. A special recital, Unforgettable Abhisheki, by maestro Pandit Bhimsen Joshi, is being organised by Banyan Tree and the Tarangini Trust.



The melodious and the not-so
Last night I was up till late listening to music. Cornershop. A wonderful unpretentious album by a singer called Tjinder Singh (minus the e). It is something I can listen to, again and again. Particularly the Punjabi version of Norwegian Woods (Aur Phir Chidi Udgayi -- The Bird Has Flown).



Feng Shui for Christmas
‘‘First luck, second destiny, third Feng Shui, fourth virtues and fifth education.’’ Feng Shui is the Chinese art of design and placement that balances the life-energies or ‘‘chi’’ in a living space.
