India has repeatedly proven how multi-ethnic groups can co-exist without killing each other and it must continue to do so, believes Nagaland-based singer-composer Alo Wanth, who hopes to spread goodwill in the country and his northeast friends, through the "universal language" of music.

His songs talk about justice, peace and the need to strive for a better world - and through a concert in the capital Saturday, he wants to "build a bridge between people from different tribe, community, states and countries".

Ramesh Sippy has believed in taking risks ever since the release of his first directorial venture "Andaz". Now, when he returns to direction after 17 years, the filmmaker is set to venture into the unexplored territory of thriller genre.

"The challenge for me is to venture into the unknown every time I direct a film. When I directed my first film 'Andaz', it was considered risky to do a love story between a widow and a widower. The thrill in doing a thriller is that I have never attempted this genre before," Sippy said.
