ShobhaaShe is sophisticated, slender, smart, sharp and shrewd  – she has written 16 books till date and they all start with the alphabet ‘S’! Her name too, starts with an ‘S’ -  Shobhaa De!

What is it about the alphabet ‘S’? Are you superstitious  or is there some power quotient?  “It’s a coincidence, well yes, okay, even the word ‘superstition’ starts with the alphabet  ‘S’!  I smile, short of words at the quick retort.   A child of Independent India,  born in 1948, one wonders if that could be the cause of her  independent streak.  ‘It was there in me always. I guess I was born with it’. The lady oozes of confidence.  And ‘De’ – is it just that. “Well, Dilip chose to keep it as ‘De’, a short form of ‘Dey’, like you have Manna Dey.  And I, of course went ahead to put an accent on ‘De’ because when I went to France, they thought the name was incomplete – ‘de’ what? “

Shankar, Ehsaan and LoyBrothers in arms
The renowned and self made musical trio Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy share their musical journey and what it takes to pursue ones’ passion with YourStory

Music they say, can unite, cross boundaries and woo people. Wondering what inspiration can drive a software engineer ( Shankar Mahadevan) to quit his profession, an Indian ( Ehsaan Noorani) studying in California to return back to Swades, and an off beat musician (Loy Mendonsa) to get into composing. Passion for the five letter word: MUSIC.

Abhinav Bindra

By Abihnav Bhindra (current World and Olympic 10 m Air Rifle Shooting Champion)

Being an anchor on Shereen’s show was a very interesting experience. I have never interviewed anyone before and it was quite an experience being on the other side of the fence! Shereen was fantastic and her expertise made the whole experience smooth sailing. It was educational at some level to understand the business of sports... Having always been associated only with the performance side of it.I had no idea how technical a shoot can really be … In filming terms being as I was on the side of CNBC-TV18 for a change! I enjoyed my morning and hope to do this again sometime soon!

Pandit HariprasadPandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, the living legend, who has elevated the simple bamboo flute (bansuri) to towering heights, has undoubtedly an amazing sense of humour. Expressing his shock at the trend of having remixes, he says, “Ye to galat baat hai bhai! Having remixes of anything and everything shows that our minds have become polluted. In logon ne to national anthem ko bhi nahi chhoda! It’s just like having plastic surgery done on your father’s face! Why would you need to change songs?”
