Up close and personal with the participants of reality show Junoon kuch kar Dikhaane Ka
Jasmine Singh
Ideally, there is nothing much left to write about reality shows, the screening process, favouritism, public voting, fair unfair judges, contestant rivalry and an overdose of melodrama. Nevertheless, reality shows like NDTV Imagine’s Junoon Kuch Kar Dikhaane Ka manage to generate interest. At least, the format does.

BATTLE isn’t over until it’s over. If one was to describe the comic book O+Men and the spirit of its creator, Robert Walker, this is how one would do. It is a tale of superheroes. The only difference is that the source of their power is a dreaded virus.

Record chase
on Everest
Summitting the world’s highest peak is passé; climbers
look for ways to stand out
Yana Banerjee-Bey
RECENTLY, I overheard someone talking about Everest denigrate what he referred to as the “record chase” on the mountain. Implicit in what he was saying was an opinion that such “record-chasers” were not according the world’s highest mountain due respect.
Well, this is probably the second biggest controversy about Everest.

 The strange connection
Confiding in a total stranger is not harmful, lest you explore the possibility
Jasmine Singh
IT’S a well-worn piece of advice and you have probably heard it when you were young, especially from your parents — never talk to strangers. And we bet there was some sense in this advice. When you meet anybody for the first time — your parents, friends or your prospective partner — they are complete strangers to you. Who do you consider a stranger? And more, how can you open your heart out to a total stranger, discuss problems and confess intimate secrets?
Ask Meenakshi, an RJ with Big 92.7 FM and host of the show, 9 Bajey Ki Setting, wherein listeners who have never seen or met her call her to find solutions to their problems. But for Meenakshi, it’s not just a show. “I always put myself in their shoes and try talking to them.

Love any, love many
When it comes to match-making, catching ‘the catch’ is not so easy. But our Gen Y has a solution — it’s called multiple dating!
Neha Walia
LOVE, as they say, happens once in a lifetime. But if you belong to this generation of XBox, live-ins and no-nonsense attitude, you know these words are a thing of the past. The contemporary definition of love has undergone a sea change, if not altered absolutely.

Catching the catch
Multiple dating is just another means of getting a hang of your love life. It has become a fad in the metros. With life constantly moving in the faster lane and absence of time and patience that goes into the initial stages of a relationship, multiple dating is the shortcut to find love. The special attractions include thrill of meeting new people, exciting possibilities that can follow and no pressure of commitment.

SUMMER holidays are on and so are the long-haul flights to various destinations. Sitting for long hours in airless cabin leads to moisture loss and the skin is also subjected to sun damage. The bitter truth about flying is that your skin dehydrates rapidly. Air in the cabin is much drier as humidity inside falls 15 per cent below the normal atmosphere. Pollutants from outside circulate freely inside and your wish to possess silk-smooth skin remains only a dream.
