An officer, a gentleman and
a future husband!
“Who doesn’t fancy a man in
the uniform?”
 Purva Grover
VALOROUS, bold, heroic, disciplined, patriotic…ask any guy walking on the street to describe an Army man, and he’ll reply so, with pride of course. Now, ask any gal and her reply will leave you smiling and wondering. Oh-so-caring, touchingly sensitive, exceptionally handsome, unbelievably romantic, and perfect to marry, she’ll reply, with starry eyes ofcourse! A prince charming in uniform is what many gals dream of. Remember the charming Richard Gere in An Officer and a Gentleman or the demure Hrithik Roshan in Lakshya?

Road, tasks, friends & enemies have changed Roadies 5.0 winner Ashutosh Kaushik for good...
Jasmine Singh
"I told you he would win the Roadies. Par woh to sab sey zaada desi
tha. He does not know how to speak English. He had never seen an airport before. Kamaal
hai!" a visibly-excited colleague dropped the information, wondering how a seedha-saadha village guy, Ashutosh Kaushik could win the cut-throat game of jealously.

Childhood lost
Kulbir Singh
AT seven in the morning ten-year-old Raj, a frail little girl with big brown eyes and a thin, tired face, sets off from her house in the slums to the vast mansions in another part of the town – to clean dirty dishes and sweep floors. Her own little house is dirty and filthy, with no drainage system and heaps of garbage all around. But even if a speck of dirt is left in the grand houses of her employers she is called lazy and foolish.
Experience the power!
Manpriya Khurana
ALL of us secretly nurse the dream of attaining that reed thin figure like the models on the global runaway. Yes, we are talking about size-zero, Bebo’s size-zero. And when talking size-zero can power yoga be far behind? For the uninitiated, power yoga is this new fitness technique that combines flexibility and strength training.
And encouraged by the queries and interest in this new form of yoga Planet Fitness-8 is set to launch a 45-day workshop Experience Magic on Revaa yoga beginning June 2.

THEY steamed in on the Shatabdi, on the 23rd. The train was 40 minutes late. The tallest, Andrew, is 6’5” tall. The shortest, Douglas, is around 5’10’’. All looked tired, zombie like and wary. I dropped a clanger when I told Zachary “I recognise you from your photographs… you are the one with chinky eyes!” There was a deathly silence.
To
Kasauli, with love
Here’s another reason for you to drive uphill says Parbina Rashid, as she catches
a glimpse of the Kasauli-inspired works of city artists
WHAT is it about Kasauli that inspires writers and artists alike? Khushwant Singh cannot stop writing about the peace and solitude he finds in this small town, which he has made his summer retreat. Vivan
Sundaram, one of the country’s leading artists, chose Kasauli as his abode in early 70s, when he set up his art camp for six consecutive years there.

 Passion meet business
Proximity with works of great artists, passion for strokes, or simply
lure of money — what pulls people
to the business of selling art?
Parbina Rashid
It’s a perfect example of a symbiotic relationship. One half does the creation and the other half sees to it that the creation reaches the true connoisseur. And the connecting thread between the two is their love for art. Ask the young generation art dealers why they are investing their marketing skills into something as specific as art and they answer — to earn through our passion. And, the passion does not necessarily mean picking up the brush to paint, but to be close to it. And in a city, which got its first full-fledged commercial gallery as late as 1998, such recent changes do draw attention.

Caprio to save
the world
Leonardo DiCaprio is doing his bit to save the environment by producing an eco-documentary called The Eleventh Hour that will not only highlight the effects of global warming but will also help rescue the world from the perils of climate change. In the film, the 33-year-old actor asks scientists, politicians and activists what can be done to save the crisis-hit world. DiCaprio has described his passion for the environment and strongly believes that if the world joins hands the crisis could be solved. "The environment has been a huge passion of mine ever since I was very young.
