Grand opening show of the Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2013 (Aug 22, 2013)   There's always a sense of anticipation about what Mumbai-based designer Manish Malhotra will bring on the fashion ramp. And so, he does it yet again - creates trends that are society-conscious and accepted by all age groups. He presented the grand opening show to kick-start Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2013 at the Grand Hyatt hotel in Mumbai. It was a great start, must say (of course, there were Bollywood faces in the front Row).   To the fore are Ghagra pants (a fusion look of sharara + classic pants) and boatnecks with 3/4 sleeved blouses.

I am yet to see such gloriously calm, picturesque hamlets enroute Rameshwaram but the tea gardens in Tamil Nady - Ooty, do indeed carry that tranquil feel.

Chennai Express is a 2013 Indian romcom film directed by Rohit Shetty and produced by Gauri Khan under her production banner Red Chillies Entertainment. The film features Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone in lead roles. Director : Rohit Shetty Cinematogr...
