Watch1. ‘Can’t Stop the Feeling’ – Justin Timberlake
One can never get tired of watching this teen-heartthrob-turned-celebrity-crush on screen, but his latest video focuses more on people from various walks of life. The song is part of the DreamWorks Animation 3D musical comedy film Trolls , to be released later this year.
Like Pharrell Williams’ ‘Happy’, the song makes you want to move. The crazy dance moves look like something any of us would burst into when no one is watching.
And you probably can’t stop feeling a certain way about Justin, as he croons to the camera in his all-white ensemble.
Watch the video and the first listen featuring the movie’s cast on YouTube.
Read2. Crumbs!: Bread Stories and Recipes for the Indian Kitchen– Saee Koranne-Khandekar
Ever wondered how bread began? That staple — for when you’re sick, in a hurry, or the favourite for a fuss-free picnic — was a happy accident, says food writer and consultant Saee. From origins to the science behind baking and why bread-makers aren’t useful, everything is set forth in a simple, yet engaging language.
Cute illustrations and detailed recipes that seek to un-complicate the process of baking bread will inspire you to give it a shot.
The best part, perhaps, is that the temperatures, humidity and ingredients are all listed from the Indian perspective.
Available in bookstores, it’s priced at Rs. 450.
Listen3. Fallen Angels – Bob Dylan
The all-American singer-songwriter was set to release his 37th studio album on May 20. Following in the footsteps of his last album, Shadows in the Night (February 2015), this one features a dozen songs — hand-picked by Dylan — and all except one were sung by Frank Sinatra at some point. A couple of songs (‘Melancholy Mood’ and ‘All the Way’) are already available on iTunes and YouTube. With the singer’s signature touch, the songs are given new life.
Available now for pre-order on Amazon.
Do4. Get crafty
Whether the sun is beating down mercilessly, or your city is recovering from the after-effects of summer showers, the best bet is to stay home as much as possible. While you’re browsing social media, follow some D-I-Y pages: they have simple and easy crafts. It could be a no-wax candle, a glitter-covered accent wall, or a mason jar filled with fairy-lights. Add an elegant touch to your garden: Bundt cake pans filled with succulents, bird feeders made of teacups and vertical planters for your herbs. And if a branch falls off a tree, make a jewellery hanger out of it.
