Pet project Since it&rsquo;s festive season, there&rsquo;s a little party planned for your pets too. The Bombay Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (BSPCA) is organising Woofs and Hoofs Carnival 2016 on January 10 at the Royal Western India Turf Club&rsquo;s second enclosure at Mahalaxmi.

In its second edition, the event aims to focus on increasing awareness on the way in which animals should be treated. The party will include entertainment by Banoo&rsquo;s Fit Kids, performances by the SOI youth orchestra and an all girls Pop-band, Conspiracy Theory.
You can shop for yourself and your furry four- legged friends from brands like Asya, Shake Hands and The Spoilt Brat Bakery. The event will also have an adoption drive but pets can only be taken home once house checks are done the week following the carnival.

Scheduled to kick off on January 1, the week hopes to share with revellers fitness mantras and loads of other healthy routines, using both the celebrities as star value.
We&rsquo;re curious to see and whether movers and shakers at the festival will actually take fitness seriously, post all the heady beachfront parties, and after parties.

Written by award-winning film critic, journalist and author, Shoma A Chatterji, the title looks at the life of the actress who mesmerised audiences for years, before withdrawing from public gaze and refusing to emerge in the limelight during the last decade of her life.
The author tries to unveil the two different dimensions of the Suchitra Sen persona: Sen as a working woman in films and her willful social seclusion. This one promises to be a page-turner.
