Weekend Blurb: Read, listen, enjoy

CNN-IBN

It's that time of the week again when we all try and unwind. So here’s the Weekend Blurb, your weekend warrior to all the weekday fatigue.

Music Recco: Life in a … Metro

I wonder if the fact that metro's are essentially male dominated has anything to do with the film Life in a… Metro's soundtrack because not only are all the song writers men, each and every track has male voice.

But music composer Pritam is not out to raise question marks but give you an album that plays melodically through on chords of the guitar that sound typically Pakistani.

No neighbours on this one but local boys Kay Kay, Soham and a few others who give you just one more classic example of just how much Bollywood music can explode if you push the barrier and with a remix of almost each track out as well, the sound track should be in the disco very soon as well.

High Fashion: Miss Sixty

The flower power child with a whiff of the 60s and 70s; Retro big block prints for the inner hippie, all set to rock and roll!

So if you are quintessentially funky and genetically hip, Miss Sixty is the brand for you.

Here's a big dose of floral prints straight from the sixties and the printed tees, cowl necks and even polka dots for the 'more chic than bohemian kinda look'.

And for the denim fanatic, there is enough to keep the grunge and rugged look going. One reason why you should head straight to this store is because the clothes fit like a dream.

And to raise your oomph factor to a new high, lay your hands on round toed pumps or the evil stilletos or even the green suede ballerinas to complete the retro chick look.

And now for the reality check - a basic pair of denims will cost you Rs 8,000 upwards while a simple T can put you back by a minimum of Rs 2000! Could be worth it for the brand-conscious luxury junkie.

State of the art: Bikash Bhattacharjee Book

Bikash Bhattacharjee was the painter of faces and figures. In the late 50's, that was a retrograde crime.

But Bikash remained in his own words very 'close to events'. Now that his retrospective has been compiled in this art book, perhaps it is easier than ever to get all of Bikash in one place.

For an art book, acclaimed art critic Manasij Majumdar draws a thorough sketch but each one of Bikash's pictures speaks a thousand words. This weekend try flipping through this one.
