 I love you & I love meat!
Purva Grover
A GORGEOUS, sexy girl in the neighbourhood, a terror father, a spying sibling, an alert landlord, an over friendly colleague, indefinite working hours and so on and on. Almost anything can stand in the way of a lovey-dovey relationship.

Actress, ex-Mrs India and mommie-to-the-hilt, here’s Deepshikha decoded
Parbina Rashid
HER story sounds familiar. Never wanted to become an actor but circumstances (Dev Anand’s persuasion for his flick Gangster) pushed her into it. But Deepshikha has no regrets. Because this is a career that has given her a chance to live many shades of life, like playing a sex worker for her forthcoming film Pranali and a comic role in Dhoom

Turn it
off!

 THE bite of garam chapatti stays hanging in the air for minutes, till the number of SMS votes by which your son’s fave reality star wins the title is announced. And once announced, the jubilance sends the bowl of dal flying! Gorging on healthy palak ka soup and fresh green salad is not doing any good to the iron intake of mommy, who eats the leafy preparations between sobbing sessions for Kumkum, whose facing troubled times yet again.

Masala Maar Ke

 IT’S all about ‘loving your parents…oops telly (Sorry Karan!). As the Indian cinema gets more urbane ala restricted to the upper segment of the multiplex-metros, TV’s getting more masses-friendly and masala-driven. No wonder, telly’s marketing activities are packing a punch too. Think chutzpah, cheeky humour and a pinch of innovation, and what pops in front of the eyes is our kaleidoscopic tele brigade.
 Minimum fuss,
Maximum style
Anandita Gupta
WITH summer here, it’s time to brave scorching noons and unpleasantly warm evenings. So stop ‘hiding behind much’, be it clothes or your crowning glory! Yup, you read it right. For, those flowing, wispy curls or lovely long locks may be your style staple during winters, but not in this weather. With these high-maintenance styles, you may tiptoe out of the parlour looking like a goddess, but will feel oh-so-hot the very next day.

HE might have given Bollywood rebellious numbers like Chota Bachcha Jaan Ke or whacky ones like Tukur Tukur Dekhte Ho Kya or peppy ones like Ik Uncha Lamba, his heart purely beats for Sufi and folk music. And this is what has motivated singer, composer and music director Anand Raj Anand to play mentor for NDTV Imagine’s new talent hunt show Junoon…Kuch kar dikhane Ka, based on folk, Sufi and filmi music.

Comfy harem pants are the best bet to beat the heat
Anandita Gupta
THE harsh sun is scorching us mortals. Ideally, it’s time to soak ourselves in sea, sands and everything breezy in between. Now, while our lifestyles don’t really permit that, the city’s stylo-meter are sure making up for it. How? Well, by letting in the
Mediter-
ranean influences. So forget tugging your sweaty legs into trousers and jeans. Instead, enjoy the season with comfy and airy muslin Turkish pants– Harems and Jodhpurs. We cue you in to this resolutely chic summer-staple and its playful variants available in town.

Silky, Smooth & Shiny

A HAIR rinse provides a conditioning treatment to the hair, helping it settle and giving it body and bounce. It is particularly useful during summer and for oily hair, although some rinses can be used for dry hair. Hair should be washed well with water after shampoo, followed by a hair rinse. Actually, it is important to wash the hair thoroughly with water after shampoo, to get rid of all soapy residues and the last traces of grime.

Donning director’s cap
POP superstar Madonna prefers her new role as a director to singer because she gets asked questions about her work and not her personal life. Madonna is doing promotional work for her upcoming album Hard Candy, but is not happy with the personal questions she is being asked sometimes. However, she is enjoying doing promotional work for her directorial debut Filth and Wisdom.
