Who wants to sweat it out in the gym? Our men would rather brave the scalpel for that instant SRK look

Ladies, how many times have you felt really angry about being a woman? Fought the Almighty with ‘all your might’? For, isn’t it sheer injustice, for us abla naris (remember the Kit Kat ad?) to get ourselves waxed and bleached, deliver babies, get ogled at for wearing a fave halter, workout feverishly for a size zero and even get cosmetic implants, while men ‘rest in peace!’ But women, it’s time for us distressed souls to exclaim WOAH… YIPPEE (and jump as we do!). For, looks like the ‘boys-will-be-boys’ phrase is soon going to get redundant.

Have hot-bods,
will flaunt. City men slip into
scooped-neck tees

 ATTENTION ladies! It’s not you, but the men, taking a cakewalk in the desire-lane. And well, this isn’t about tinselville’s hunks turning absolute eye-candy (we know, you’re already thinking of beefy-bodied Saif in Race). It’s rather about our very own city dudes, in flesh-and-blood, going gaga over flaunting their perfectly sculpted bodies in plunging, oops, deep necklines.

 Absorbing Cricket
A sneak peak into the innings of Shiv Pandit. In town for today’s
IPL match
Purva Grover
THE first thing that bowls us over about him is the fact that he has his fundas straight, both on and off field. It might be his debut as an anchor and also his first close encounter with the game of cricket, but that is not stopping him from chasing his dreams. Meet Shiv
Pandit, actor, model, RJ and now anchor, courtesy Extra Innings T20 on Max. The cricket buff shares the innings of his life with us.

Freedom in the sky
Skydiving gives you the unique experience of freefall

LET’S now take a look at hardcore adventure sports for those of you keen to take them up. Skydiving is one such sport. Truly experiencing the element – perhaps no other adventure sport lets you do that as completely as skydiving.
TRULY EXPERIENCING THE ELEMENT: ‘If travelling in an airplane is flying then
travelling in a boat is swimming’

Fight the wrinkle battle
Stop the wrinkles around the eyes from going bad to worse, now
Pammy Kaul
WHEN it comes to skin care most women tend to focus on their faces and don’t pay attention to the much required eye area. Little do they know that it’s the skin around the eyes that first lets out the tales of ageing. Sadly, most women are not educated about the need to look after this tender area of the face. Damage done to this delicate area can haunt one forever.

 HOW often have you felt like trading off that shimmi-shimmi halter for the cool, comfy khadi
kurti? Chances are, quite often, especially in a heat like this. But then, didn’t that ill fitted, baggy-like garment make you cry in frustration? For, khadi comfort’s always been associated with boring clothes in limited
colours. However, not any more. Gandhi ji’s muse is finally getting set to drape, not just politicians but fashionistas too. In collaboration with the Khadi and Village Industries Commission
(KVIC) city designers Param and Poonam Thakur launched Khadi Plus – at its newly renovated store-17 this Friday. So, what’s special about the brand? We cue you in…
 Scandalous Shots
FANS of Miley Cyrus might not be able to see much of her for sometime as Disney chiefs have ordered the star to keep a low profile until the controversy surrounding her raunchy photo row calms down. The company is keeping her away from events for the next four to six months. This is the second time when the 15-year-old has landed herself in a saucy photo scandal. The first one had been in January but the teen star had dismissed them as being 'nothing bad,' as she was just having a sleepover at a hotel with one of her best friends.

 Bon apetit

 IN Indian cuisine, we tuck into a meal in all its totality —
dal, sabzi, chicken or paneer, getting eaten with roti or rice with an occasional baton of cucumber, a ring of onion or a spoonful of raita being shoveled in every now and then. The concept of soup, starters, entrees or main course is pretty much alien to our food culture. In fact, there are no “courses” per say in our
khana.
Tip of the Week
Any leftovers of the hot beans make
a super snack rolled into warm chapattis with a dash of lemon juice or ketchup.

Researchers in Australia reveal that a tiny protein found in sunflower seeds may help halt the spread of prostrate cancer. The boffins found that the sunflower mini-protein was able to block enzymes called proteases which break down the connective tissue around
tumours, allowing the cancer cells to migrate.
The mini-protein has now been named the protease inhibitor, and has proved itself in test tube-based trial. Researchers were also able to re-engineer the molecule so it blocks only the proteases, and leave other ‘good’ proteases unharmed.
