I want to break free!
Missing the Patiala pegs, snooker
sessions & Steven Segal stunts? It’s time for Gen-Y husbands &
daddies to indulge & pamper themselves. Some help to get you started
 You
kickstart your day with the 6 a.m alarm, hit the gym, pick up
milk packets and hurriedly drive back home to get the kids ready for
school, have a quick breakfast, run through the headlines, and reach the
workplace just in time to not bump into your boss. Meetings,
assignments, achieving targets, and it’s time to pick up your li’l
one from the dance class.

We had heard Priyanka
Chopra has been busy learning the gatka for her forthcoming film,
Drona. Our information was right. For, when the lady, in her
small black-and-white dress, finally stepped on stage at Taj-Chandigarh
after making us all wait for about an hour-and-half, she looked quite
slim and toned up, living up to the title of Asia’s sexiest woman she
won last year.
It was her three-year-long
association with Spice that brought her to the city — to launch the
telecom cos’ Smart Dial service. So what’s happening in her
life? "Films, films and more films." Well, we know that! But
then the lady is not just acting but watching them too. "Which is her
favourite — Om Shanti Om or Saawariya?"

 A knock on the door, a phone
call at midnight, a deafening scream, falling of the pooja thali... the
climax in telly soaps is unchanged
Okie, you don’t like watching soaps. Scheming women, revengeful men,
grand weddings, memory loss, loud mourning and unexplainable rebirths,
are not just your cup of tea. You often wondered and smiled to yourself
thinking what would you do if you got a chance to meet the creators and
cast of these unreal parivaars that are supposed to be a
reflection of your kahani.
Tasteful
Experience
It was a dream come true for 55 kids from Ashiana, a school for the
underprivileged run by Airtel. A chance for them to not just marvel at
the wonders of the bakery but also bite into them. An invite to visit
Nik Bakers-35 to eat and play on Friday turned out to be a yummy
delightful experience for these kids in the age group of 10-12 years.
Road to
success
After Orkut, there has been no dearth of similar sites, trying to
connect friends and make a little money of their own. In the same league
was Zillr.com, launched by Ravish Kumar, an engineer. Since its launch
he has not looked back.

Watches: No Hands
Inspired by night clubbing Fastrack has launched its Neon Disk range.
The technology of electro-luminescence has been given an interesting
twist making it the first Indian analog watch collection sans hands to
show the time! Instead, two concentric aluminum discs, representing the
hour and the minute, show the time with the help of markers cut out on
the discs.

Make your style statement in that hot
pair of glasses
There was a time when spectacles were associated with bookworms. And you
hated wearing them because it gave the studious tag among your friends
while you aspired to be called a ‘cool dude’. It marred your looks
like it did to Jassi in Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin.
