Dust to Stardust
Low on finances but high on adrenaline, grit and winning streak, these sportstars have
kept their date with success despite
all odds
Anandita Gupta
 Theirs’ is a success story you don’t come across often, but when you do, you want to go out there and shake their hands. For, they weren’t born with the proverbial silver spoons in their mouths, no priciest of pampering welcomed them into this world and no ready-to-savour-comforts were served to them on a platter. Turning their scars into stars, these sports guns made it big, minus AC courts, sponsored tournaments, personal trainers and expensive sports-gear. We take a round of the local turfs and courts and profile a few of our heroes.
Punjab di mitti beckons
S. D. Sharma
A
cinematographer, singer, director and above all a Punjabi to the core. Manmohan Singh, the man behind revival of Punjabi cinema was in the city along with the lead star, Harbhajan Mann to promote his flick Mitti Waajan Mardi.

Shop after dinner
For all those who thought a walk was the only post-dinner activity, here’s news. The sleepy city
has a new
night activity.
Read on...
Saurabh Malik
Your nine-to-nine job leaves you with little time to gift to your spouse for some nice festive shopping. And now that the psychedelic lights garlanding the arcades and the shopping plazas across the city are brightening up the general mood, the pressure to take her out for picking up those teeny-weeny gifts is mounting on you like never before.
More
than just yoga
Saurabh Malik
Yoga and meditation do help in breathing out tension, but somehow they have not been giving you that complete sense of wellbeing. It’s time for you to try your hand at something uniquely new — a healthy, fresh, blend of sound breathing techniques, soothing meditation practices, time-honoured Indian philosophy and experiential learning.
Living art daily
It’s easy to spot this 21-year old on the Government College of Art-10 campus. A T-shirt with a self-portrait and track pants with a sketch of Mona Lisa is his fave attire. Ask him where he belongs and pat comes the reply, “Mother Earth.” A third-year student of sculpture, Sawan lets art define him; be it through his words, attire or work.
Toast to success
Archana K. Sudheer
Success needs to be celebrated. This is just what Ethos-9 is out to do. The store has launched an initiative— Celebrate Success to felicitate city achievers.
Cool Stuff

Purses and handbags are more of a fashion accessory
than a need, as we find out
Parbina Rashid
This is called the ‘Sienna Miller Syndrome’. For the uninitiated it is a woman’s obsession for handbags. Once looked upon as fashion accessories, they seem to be turning into more of lifestyle necessities, a trend popularised by celebrities like Sienna Miller and Lindsey Lohan.
 Internet’s
the new TV?
From fashion to music, news to soaps,
the Internet covers it all
Purva Grover
There
could be a slight change in your list of hobbies and it may not include watching the television. The TV tuner card you purchased quite recently could just end up being labelled as an outdated piece of technology. And, fighting for the remote, too, could be a thing of the past. For, our very own TV could become passé and give way to what else, but the screen of your monitor. Forget merely watching movies on the PC; there is a lot more happening.
Exhi-Watch

 Frozen Saviours
Are you a 2-minute cook? Frozen peas are quick, convenient & healthy
Aman Minhas
YOU crave for gourmet food. But you are in a hurry or too lazy to cook. Or simply hate cooking. So you turn to all the junk food available in the market like burgers, pizzas and the sinful Indian delights. You eat it. Next thing you know the needle of your weighing machine is surging ahead at an alarming rate! It’s a vicious circle.

A Peas-ful diet
Peas-pudding in the pot, nine days old — does that sound appetising to you? To me it doesn’t! It’s a mushy mess of pureed peas and egg, not even remotely close to what we imagine as pudding, and then, nine days old, for God’s sake!

Stop the clock, Honey!
Scientists have found that a diet sweetened with honey could decrease anxiety, improve memory and help prevent aging. Scientists believe that honey has some antioxidant properties. Since ancient times people across the globe have been using honey as a natural food, sweetener, beauty treatment and also for medical use.
