METROSCAPE: LOOKING GLASS
DELHI
Exhibition
 "Figures
in my mind" is what seven stylistically mismatched artists think
of the human body-raw or fettered with clothes. Rekha Rodwittya has drawn
heads, taking structural inspiration from tantric or folk pictography,
Sudhir Patwardhan has stuck to intimate charcoal sketches, Anupam Sud
has got out some freshly minted prints and Shibu Natesan (above) has painted
situations with Hockney-like realism. On at Gallery Espace till September
1. Call (011) 632-6267 for more details.
Night Club-Restaurant
 Fireball
at 32nd Milestone, the entertainment complex near Gurgaon, became famous
as a hotspot for suburban merrymaking in the early 1990s until a temporary
ban on liquor by the Haryana government put off the crowds ... and the
management. Now Fireball has become Nyx, named after the Greek
Goddess of the Night, and the dome-shaped disco has transformed into a
three-level night club with a dance floor and DJ console, a second floor
bar counter and an 89-cover continental food restaurant. Call (011) 503-8891
for more details.
MUMBAI
Lifestyle Store
 Corinthian
columns, ceiling-high windows and an expanse of white in situ flooring

the furniture salon and flagship store of Yash and Avanti Birla. Over
22 Italian, Asian and Indian designers, including Dema, Fiam, Foscarini
and Fendi, display an ultra-contemporary sensibility in chairs, wardrobes
