Youngsters no longer have to struggle for that one chance. Thanks to reality shows, fame & stardom is just a song away!
Instant Fame
Ishmeet & Harshit are busy chasing their dreams
It’s not like that anymore. Eloping from ek chotya sa gaon with 500 bucks, getting to Mumbai railways station and then spending the next few nights there. Walking miles to meet directors, producers with a desi sa portfolio or a self recorded tape, getting shooed away and, finally getting picked up by a big shot director, standing next to you at a pau bhaji stall. Ticket to Bollywood was a mehnat wala kaam until lately, when every second ladka aur ladki from a kasba started to get an easy ticket to fame and glamour, through the reality shows. Struggle in Bollywood will never be the same.
 We rock!

On the road
Want to save money, make new friends or do your bit for the environment? Go hitch-hiking, but do exercise caution
IT is the cheapest way of travelling. And if you have little or no money for public transit, or if there is a lack of transportation, well, then hitch-hiking maybe the only way to get where you need to. Interested in making rah-chaltey friends, then again you can depend on hitch-hiking. Who knows you might even end up finding a date here!
Wrath, Wrath go away
Healthy marriage is directly proportional to the kind of arguments couples have. So, argue, if it crops up
IF a marriage is the alliance of two souls, then argument is the spice that keeps matrimony going till they become spiteful and unbearable! According to recent studies, the health of a marriage is crucial in determining the spouse’s health. Fights -- and the way they are fought -- can make a huge difference to the quality of life. Wait, we are not advocating pouncing on your partner at the first opportunity that comes your way, but please do not act like a dumb spectator. The idea is to vent your emotions: Say your thing and also lend a good ear to your partner.

HE fondly remembers his early modeling days with the likes of Annie Thomas, Diwakar Pundir and more. And doesn’t mind sharing with us that the flicks he acted in, years ago, are yet to hit the screen. He even appears comfy being introduced as Rohit Bal’s nephew. Model, actor, chef, and now anchor for Chakh Le India! on NDTV Good Times, Aditya Bal, lets us quiz him till we utter the word ‘food’ for from there on, he takes over.

EXPERT cooks (read directors) are away. Their understudies are having a whale of a time. They prepare their dishes with the savoir-faire of their illustrious seniors. While one of them wants us to savour his recipe and De Taali, the other wants us to feel his product’s
Khushboo.

I am 26 and suffering from depression and only I know what I am going through. On the outside, I appear to be a happy go-lucky person and people identify me as the life of a party. I grew up in a home where my parents were always fighting. Ever since I was four, I knew they would separate. I lived in paranoid all my growing years and learnt to find comfort in food. Now, whenever I go on diet and lose weight I swing back to food binges soon. How do I help myself?
