Nightmare Captured!
Why do we all look our worst during that 1/10th of a second? Getting the perfect passport size picture sure is rocket science. Some horror stories revealed...
When you look like your passport photo, it’s time to go home
— Erma Bombeck
YOUR hair is done to perfection, the shirt crisply ironed. A few tension
marks on the forehead. A stranger forcing a plastic smile out of you. A
click. And bingo you’ve added another disastrous shot to your record.
The smile is fake, eyes shut, complexion weird, shoulders sagging,
middle hair parting or flat hair, and the close-up is oh-too-close.
Hot property
The blazing sun is doing what the cops couldn’t all these years. City femmes take to helmets in a big way
The law makes it mandatory for
womenfolk on the fast track of life to wear helmets while riding their
way to autonomy, and independence. But enthusiastic attempts by the cops
to drive home the message have always been met by an equally hostile
reaction. Some of you may not remember it, but the last time the
men-in-white tried to enforce the law, so many women knight riders took
to the streets raising slogans against the Chandigarh Police and the
powers that be.

Simulated skydiving gives you the experience without the scare
IT’S holiday-time and, as always, I recommend that you pack in an adventure activity during your holiday. Last time, I talked about the extreme sport of skydiving. Simulated skydiving is a recreational adventure activity that most people can try at least once.
Bollywood calling
MANY a traits of aesthetic excellence meet in the persona of Sahib Singh — the playwright, actor, director and yes, pride of Punjabi theatre. Despite financial constraints, he continued to stage Punjabi plays in a monthly series for over two years, which itself is a testimony of his love for theatre. So his absence from the scene for months together baffled us theatre lovers. But it proved to be the lull before the storm.

The audience went crazy and with her perfect rendition of the song, she proved it yet again that she is a diva in the true sense of the word. So do we see her cut an album soon? We have to wait and watch.

Neck woes

YOUR neck tells the story you so wish to hide. When it comes to skin care most people never look neck down. They focus mainly on the face and forget the neck that happens to be one of the most noticeable parts of the body.

Till date, cabbage with a squirt if vinegar is considered a sound hangover remedy. Imagine feeding your leaden-headed beloveds bowls full of cabbage, spiked with vinegar! I suspect their headache will increase tenfold at the very sight!
