Is race only skin deep?

Science can reveal hidden surprises in our family trees that will affect how we think of ourselves. Robin McKie and Jo Revill report on new ways of unravelling our genetic past.

Chew your anger and anxiety away
Amar Chandel
S
TRESS is one of the unavoidable consequences of today’s busy life. In the fast-paced, pressure-cooker situations that confront us almost daily, anger and anxiety become our constant companions, so much so that some even stop noticing that these are wrecking their lives. They feel that it is perfectly natural and normal for them to sulk or blow their top every day. Then there are others who acknowledge that these are having a ruinous effect on them, but do not know how to get rid of them.

Nabbing the art thief
NO collector or connoisseur can ever be sure of whether an acquisition is genuine or not. And when artists like Husain are equally at sea, forgers can only be having a field day. It is only when the media raises a stink that everybody sits up and takes notice, says Kunal Khurana.

 


Lessons from life
Your actions matter
O
NE day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd." I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.

Actresses of mixed parentage
SANJANA (Tulip Joshi) and Padma Lakshmi are recent debutantes in Hindi cinema. But long before them, veteran actresses like Ruby Myers and Fearless Nadia have dominated the silver screen in India, says Vimla Patil

In the spotlight
An ‘outsider’ who belongs to Bollywood
Sitesh Debnath
S
HE is Bollywood’s typical "outsider". Although born and brought up in Mumbai, she has been far removed from films with absolutely no family connections in the industry. Her sensibilities, attitude and personality are clearly defined by this non-filmi background.
