CAPTION CONTEST

FILM directors, both Indian and western, love to sprinkle a liberal dose of this masala. It is also a peg around which many novels and POW stories revolve. Last fortnight, many heads rolled in Chandigarh because of it. What else could we be talking about but jailbreaks?

Holidays that heal body and mind
Madhu Gurung
CORNELIA ULLRICH, 46, has flown all the way from Germany to India for her ayurveda holiday. She spent 14 days de-stressing at Angsana, an ayurvedic centre in Bangalore. She soaked in the "utterly relaxing" oil massage, ate vegetarian meals, drank herbal deconcoctions and listened to soothing Carnatic music.

RELATIONSHIPS
When shopping becomes a compulsion
Taru Bahl
WHEN Arun met and later courted Ruby, he was floored by her thoughtfulness. She possessed an intuitive because of which she was able to zero in on the exact needs of a friend or family member. She went out of the way to procure what they needed.

SURAIYA
A Tribute
O door jaane wale...
Devinder Bir Kaur
THERE was a time when traffic jams at Marine Drive, Bombay, were caused not because of a long line of cars, but because of a young charismatic actress whose melodious voice had cast a spell on thousands of young Indians. This singing star didn’t have to reveal any flesh or croon sexy numbers the way pop stars do today.

"There’s a lot of me in Malini Iyer"
When she was at the height of stardom, she gave it all up for marriage. Now, after a gap of eight years, Sridevi is back in the arclights—in and as Malini Iyer on Sahara TV. The Hawa Hawai girl talks about her comeback and new role.
DIRECTED by Satish Kaushik, Malini Iyer is a tale of simple south Indian girl who marries a failed Punjabi cricketer. Unlike the Tu-Tu Main-Main of the Punjabi- Madrasi duo of Ghar Jamai, peace prevails in this household, especially between saas and bahu.
