Go mushy, Bollywood style
How about giving in to the Valentine mood with these flicks?
Love is all around me,
and so the feeling grows…
So goes the mushy number and well, if you are in love, so does your every single heartbeat. Especially, with Valentine’s Day lurking just around the corner, isn’t it time already to go all gooey and love-lorn? And all those who haven’t been struck by stupid cupid’s whizzing arrows, fret not.

Diving into the depths
Now is a nice time for adventure activities in the sea. Not only will you get a respite from the cold in North India, but the tourist hordes that descend on beaches for Christmas-New Year and mid-winter holidays have thinned and adventure tour operators can give you more slots. Room rates are also lower, and shops and restaurants less crowded! Diving is a hardcore adventure sport that is very rewarding because it takes you into a world as different from ours as outer space! The underwater world is rich and strange, populated with weird and lovely creatures.
