I believe that keeping<br />
in touch with the fans and<br />
staying up-to-date in digital<br />
platforms is very important<br />
for artists. I check social<br />
media for an hour to<br />
stay in the loop.<br />

PM<br />
After a hectic but<br />
productive day, I come<br />
home to my family and spend<br />
some quality time. This is<br />
when I relax and I plan for<br />
the following day.<br />

NEWSMAKER<br />
As soon as I wake up I<br />
get my daily dose of news<br />
and information. Half an<br />
hour of reading<br />
newspapers daily helps<br />
me stay updated.<br />
The comic actor is sharing happiness and making<br />
people laugh as the biggest therapy post-quake.<br />

AM<br />
I sit in meetings to plan<br />
shows. Speaking with<br />
like-minded people and<br />
brainstorming helps me<br />
come up with ideas and<br />
strategising actions.<br />
MY DAILY BREAD<br />
WITH<br />
DEEPAK RAJ GIRI<br />

AM<br />
For me, maintaining<br />
a healthy lifestyle is very<br />
important. I go for a walk<br />
and then meditate for 30<br />
minutes. It keeps me<br />
centred and wellbalanced.<br />
I’m a huge believer of<br />
‘an apple a day keeps the<br />
doctor away.’ I also have<br />
salad for lunch. As for rice,<br />
my appetite is equivalent<br />
to an eight year old’s.<br />

AM<br />
My days post-quake are<br />
mostly spent performing<br />
shows in schools to help<br />
students deal with the<br />
trauma. I also keep myself<br />
involved in fund raising<br />
events.<br />
ART <strong>FOR</strong> HUMANITY<br />
A computer engineer by profession and a sand artist by passion, the man behind the<br />

that has been garnering a lot of positive response on social media.<br />

politicians came to<br />
an end.<br />

Caitlyn with a ‘C’<br />
The new girl in the royal family of reality TV is<br />
creating a whole lot of buzz. Here is how the<br />
twiiterattis reacted.<br />
Bruce Jenner has finally transformed into a woman (and a very<br />
pretty one at that), and twitter birds are either supporting her decision<br />
or negating it. She got a lot of appreciation for her decision to<br />
be ‘free’ and even broke Barack Obama’s Twitter record by getting<br />
one million followers in just four hours. More power to Caitlyn for<br />
doing what her heart desired.<br />
You go girl<br />
Moved by Caitlyn Jenner’s<br />
grace, and the<br />
world’s response. Let’s<br />
keep the conversation<br />
going and include trans<br />
people from all walks of<br />
life. – Tyler Oakley<br />
I applaud you just as<br />
much for all you are<br />
representing against<br />
ageism! Well done Cait!<br />
RT @Caitlyn_Jenner:<br />
Another Jenner world record<br />
and at 65? Who’da<br />
thought! – Kathy Griffin<br />
So much respect for<br />
Caitlyn Jenner being<br />
herself. Takes a lot of<br />
courage to be who you<br />
are but everyone should<br />
be themselves no matter what. – Grant Landis<br />
Once a champion, always a champion. Goodbye Bruce,<br />
Hello Caitlyn Jenner. Welcome to the world! Thank you<br />
Vanity Fair. – Kelly P. Hyland<br />
Spell-check<br />
I think the most surprising<br />
thing about Bruce<br />
Jenner isn’t that he<br />
became a woman, it’s<br />
that he chose to spell<br />
Caitlyn with a C and not<br />
a K. — Lana<br />
Let it be known to<br />
Caitlyn Jenner that the<br />
world admires your<br />
bravery independence<br />
and ability to spell<br />
your name with a C.<br />
#CallMeCaitlyn.<br />
– Sam Shrieve<br />
I think it was a bold<br />
move to spell her name<br />
with a C. I applaud you Caitlyn Jenner. – Ashley Mackenzie<br />
Sand art is an unusual art<br />
form. What inspired you<br />
to get involved in it?<br />
I was never into mainstream<br />
art and sand art was<br />
more of a passion to me. I<br />
would say that the turning<br />
point for me was winning the<br />
show, Entertainment Ke Liye<br />
Kuch Bhi Karega, in 2008.<br />
After that, I got together wth<br />
other artists and we started<br />
Flying Rock Studio.<br />
How did the idea for<br />
the video come about,<br />
and what’s the story<br />
behind it?<br />
When I saw the photo of a<br />
child being rescued from the<br />
earthquake debris, it motivated<br />
me to create the video.<br />
I also happened to lose a friend<br />
to the earthquake, a taxi driver<br />
I met on my visit to Nepal,<br />
hence the soundtrack ‘See You<br />
Again’. I wanted to spread the<br />
message of hope, a better<br />
future and reviving hope for<br />
the children.<br />
Apart from the video, are<br />
you working in any other<br />
way to help the earthquake<br />
victims in Nepal?<br />
I have been doing charity<br />
shows to raise money here in<br />
India. Apart from that, I have<br />
been helping people and<br />
organisations gather clothes<br />
and materials of basic use to<br />
donate to the earthquake victims.<br />
Many artists have<br />
approached me showing interest<br />
in using the sand art video,<br />
and whatever amount they<br />
wish to pay for the rights, I<br />
will donate it to Nepal.<br />
