A strong dose of salsa peps up the day. Narayana Reddy's fans need no extra adrenaline, for his birthday celebrations are on at at least two places. The rest of the city's indulging in activities ranging from basketball to trade meets, and here are a few picks.
Time doesn't stand still for anyone, except for someone with a brush or a camera. Check out time in its avatars down the ages, with paintings and drawings on artists' rural roots, urban changes, and even rocks. Here's what will enthrall you if you step into the city's galleries this week.
This week is not for the weak-footed, weak-shouldered, the weak-kneed or even the weak-behinded. Because there's football, basketball, tennis, cricket and kho-kho. Mostly a week of selection trials, watch out for the champs to emerge out of the ordeal.
Groove to the best of rock and retro, and grab a free drink if you're a girl and used to being pampered. Ladies nights and rock nights are setting the tune tonight.
The Samurai's sword is deadly, but maybe it's better than having an idiot over for dinner. Evam is presenting what we all know now as Bheja Fry, there's some Oriental sword-drawing, and from across the Western shores, we have a French film and German celebrations.
Ever held a handicraft so beautiful you thought it would melt in your hands? Well, this rainy season, you can be sure nothing of that sort's going to happen. Unless you miss these exhibitions, of course - head here before these wares melt!
The mood is retro, and so are the wishes. Here's what the evening's dancing to - rock nights and vintage music, along with a corporate offer to cheer up some.
If Monday were not called Monday, would it make it less evil? We don't think so. We were thinking more on the lines of catching up with lost sleep, heading to the nearest mela or concert, and starting off the week with a bang.
Salsa all day, a quiz in the evening, cute deejays at night, and loads of desi music. Some very busy pubbing for the dedicated, and a very happy Sunday sunset for all.
Anupam Kher's going to have a great time doing what he loves. And going by today's schedule, so are you. There's theatre, Carnatic music, art, food, cycling, shopping, and talking at the Toastmasters' table, too.
Touch is having trance and techno, Underdeck is playing EDM, and Venom is having a mish-mash. There's a mix of guest DJs and in-house regulars, and on the whole it's a deluge of music all over. Guest DJ or no, you know what the deejay deep inside your mind really wants - a great party.
Classical concerts, quizzing, oratory, a film screening, and some visual art, are what will keep the high-brow from mixing with the others today. However, those in favour of much more frivolous pursuits needn't fret - the penultimate day of any weekend is inherent in its frivolousness anyway.
If you're not already plotting for the untimely demise of Friday, here are some ways to go about it. B&C's playing house, 10D is going retro, Venom is giving away discounts, and Novotel is pricing drinks on the draw of cards.
With classical dance, handicrafts and designer wear on one hand, and a robot workshop and kabaddi on the other, most demographic profiles are taken care of today. And if you include a bout of hogging, then all demographic profiles are indeed taken care of.
A good outing starts with being non-committal about when you'll return home. For now, book a slot for Sunday evening, after you've had your fill of the weekend's happenings - umpteen melas, music, dance, and tidbits from Anupam Kher.
