PVR at Centra Mall

Hi all. It has been a long time since I wrote on the city. But all these months, your city had been growing left right and up. Those of you living abroad away from your home, would like to know that the Uppal's Centra Mall is open. Remember the Pasco Motors in Industrial Area? Right in front of the Modella, as you entered the Industrial Area Phase 1. It now features an all new Centra Mall and the four-screen PVR cinema had its opening yesterday.
Two months back we had the DT Cinema in the IT Park area, and at Zirakpur, you will soon have the Paras Down Town Square, which again shall have four screen ADLabs screens to satiate the entertainment-hungry populace.

Le Corbusier Centre

Remember the old building of the architect department in Sector 19. The makeshift building housed the first office of the French architect Le Corbusier who along with the teach of architects and engineers, planned our great city.

The Chandigarh Administration has decided to convert that building into a heritage buillding and would be known as the Le Corbusier Centre, which will house some of the exhibits of Le Corbusier's work and would be a tourist attraction. It will have three sections comprising of a museum where his original office is being recreated with the same old ambiance, a display gallery and a research and publication wing.

To be completed in two months time, it would be lit-up at night. So here is another attraction for the tourists, and a place to be proud of for the citizens.
