Get creative — splash your car with jazzy colours. If you have the heart!
A pile of motor parts in the art room at St John’s baffles you till you are offered an explanation by their teacher Michelangelo Francis. A group of children are learning to paint on cars and bikes’ spare parts. And finding bits and pieces of car and bike parts is the first step of the exercise on which the children would learn to make patterns using spray paints.

Goodbye oily shine
SUMMER is not a welcome treat for people with oily skin, rather it proves disastrous for them. Alongside the heat comes the heightened tendency of the skin to produce more oil.
