Art Of The Matter
In the past, art was an integral part of interior design. From the inlaid flowers and arabesques embellished in the royal Moghul complexes to the eighteenth century murals that adorned the Mattancheri Palace in Kerala, great artworks were considered part of the overall design scheme.
Artistes mourn the passing of the review
Wearing shimmering black silks and many of them with hair dyed to match, a group of well-known and less-known dancers and one dance critic played Rudali to the hilt at the India Habitat Centre to mourn the marginalisation of arts by the media.

The door to the green room where Mahabanoo Mody-Kotwal is reading the character of Shirley Bradshaw nee Valentine -- an average Liverpool housewife wedded to the home -- opens, and a visitor peeps in to see if there is someone inside.
