The People & Co. in its new avtaar

CanvasLaugh Club or CLC has been a pioneer brand, bringing in the best of the stand-up comedy in India to leisure seekers. It built up a strong platform for comedians and humor enthusiasts in Mumbai and later in Gurgaon.

I recently visited the place now referred to as The People &  Co. to get acquainted with the new branding structure and whether there really existed a need to upgrade the experience. The founders of the place have now expanded their platform to host a wide range of live events under their Get Live initiative. They have aimed to move beyond the comedy and culinary scene to enhance client experience with stuff like live bands.

The location is great, it is situated at the Cyber Hub and this space was earlier being used as an office. So they have got a large space with a generous front which has been designed aesthetically.






The Delhi venue has been designed to offer varied experiences from their different venues including a Restaurant know as the Plate, Bar known as Public and Comedy club known as Canvas.

Canvas (the rebranded name for Canvas Laugh Club) is a space for roaring performances like stand-up comedy, musicals concerts, fashion shows and theatre. It is currently the only club in the Delhi NCR dedicated to the comedy genre with purpose built acoustics to enhance the experience of watching live stand-up comedy.

Plate a chic and posh restaurant that brings to the platter a plethora of progressive world cuisines and the chefs decide what they feel like ‘cooking’. Plate believes in preparing a piece of art instead of just another meal and make sure you are in for a delicious surprise that leaves you craving for more.

Public is a bar and open space, which opens up in the promenade, as the name suggests, is accessible to anyone and everyone. An all-day wine and coffee bar, the stage is open to an impromptu jazz set with mature and amateur musicians.


The edifice unfolds from a wrapped wood-and-copper facade, with the glow from its dimly illuminated atrium surrounding earth-toned marble floor. The interiors of The People & Co create an eclectic look that emphasizes on the basic philosophy of being simple, earnest and rustic. The design features a timeless worn feel with reclaimed brick walls, corrugated metal detail and beautifully rustic images spread all over the place. A wall dedicated to the merchandise of Canvas called the HaHa People. The place also offers a range of HaHa People merchandise on sale suited and made purely with an intention to bring a smile on everyone’s face.

A great place over all to chill and enjoy some great live shows and positive vibes.

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...

Epitome of Equality

First of all This is not to demean any religion.. I am a Hindu by birth, but yes I respect all religions .I offer my daily prayers , fast on holy days , but there was something that was disturbing me . God as per me was a Friend, someone who was by my side always , someone who was a dear friend , but this is not what everyone else thought , for others he was the Judge who gives his verdict always and punishes anyone and everyone . Walk into any temple and you would see , if you have money , you will be treated in a way as if you are the ONLY disciple of the God . I have had too many experiences where I was treated as a second class citizen in the temple . Why? Well I could not afford giving thousands as donation. This is not how it should be , God looks at each one of us with the same divinity .As I mentioned God for me is a friend, so tell me, do we chose friends based on their bank balances? Do we give our verdict on them ? then how can God do it? I know many of us would ...

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...
