Bedazzled
16 models, 1 show, Saturday
night... Phew, the ramp’s going to be on fire, says Saurabh Malik
Sashaying
up
the ramps of popularity, Carol Gracias slipped into a celebrity status
after the halter neck top she was wearing came off, fortuitously. But
all that was before she almost made it big in a reality show Bigg Boss,
along with other bigwigs — Anupama Verma included.

Limca girl loses her
F.I.Z.Z.
Smriti Sharma
True
to her diva reputation, the pretty and petite Riya Sen not only turned
up half an hour late, but the moment she opened her mouth we knew we
would have nothing much to write about.Continuing to ride high on her
oomph and style, the Limca girl was in town on Friday to announce Eidos
Fashion Institute’s affiliation to the City and Guilds of the UK.
Boom-boom femme
She’s
mixed videos and anchored live shows on the small screen before blasting
into fame with acting abilities. So, Anupama Verma knows what she is
talking about when she says the entertainment industry’s becoming
safer by the day for the starters. Flashing her characteristic charming
smile, the enchantress in a simply gorgeous black and green
salwaar-kameez says: You actually have talent agencies taking care of
your interests. Oh, yes. They scan the work for you and make sure
there’s just no harassment for the budding actors as they bloom into
stars.

Tired of the rain? The beautiful
& dry Ladakh is the place to be in
During
the
monsoon season, it is a good idea to escape to Ladakh.The mountains
separating Ladakh from Himachal are so high that the monsoon clouds
cannot cross them. So, even if the rest of India is awash with rain, the
high-altitude desert of Ladakh remains dry.

Interpretation of
malady
Saurabh Malik
He
is good at diagnosing the ills of society. But that’s not the
only reason why city-based, internationally acclaimed, neurologist Dr
Jagjit S. Chopra was honoured with a Parman Patra by Punjab chief
minister Parkash Singh Badal on Independence Day.The first neurologist
to set up the Department of Neurology and a research laboratory at the
PGI here in 1968, he is among the few international neurologists to be
associated with the World Federation of Neurology (WFN) for over 22
years. |

On the street
S.D. Sharma
“No
other form of performing art can make an impact like street theatre. It
is the most vibrant form of theatre where performers make an instant
rapport with the audience and debate issues of mutual concern,” says
city-based theatre artiste Rajiv Mehta, advocating his passion for this
genre.Big budget is not required for a street play. But it has to be
innovative in addressing the problems of the common man and give
suggestive measures, adds Mehta.

Sakshi
Gulati
is one beauty with brains. And is also Ponds next international brand
ambassador. Guys, she has played her part before the floodlights in
Bangkok and the ad is all set for release. But the globetrotter’s
heart is not just into modeling.

Tracking
the Tutors
A website launched by two city students is a bank of
information on tutors in the tricity
Trinnnnn….
It’s almost like some finger pressing the trigger, pumping all six
bullets into you in one go. As the bedside alarm unleashes all its fury
in the morning, hell breaks loose. There you were, lying all sprawled on
your bed, dreaming about Shah Rukh Khan’s stubble or Audi A 4 limited
edition, and here you are slipping into your jeans, grabbing your Nike
bag, dumping that flotilla of books inside and rushing to your tutor on
your car, bike or cycle (depending on what you’ve coaxed you parents
to buy you).

Happy colours, funky prints and a designer label tag —
bedroom furnishings are the homemakers’ newest fetish
Anandita Gupta
Our
bedrooms may have witnessed an onslaught of everything from seductive
opaque glass to natural wood finishes, our wardrobes and chest of
drawers may be flaunting expensive finishes and designer lamps may be
lighting up our spaces. But, there’s one notion that remains firmly
etched in the mindsets of city dwellers — throw in some exquisite
furnishings and you have your bedroom instantly notching up a few
degrees on the stylo-meter.
