Lucky Charm
In town to promote Oye Lucky..., Abhay Deol gets real in his new role of thug
Whether it's a myth or real, Bollywood fans will unanimously agree on this one: The Deols, leaving aside Esha, have two left feet.

Abhay plays a flamboyant character in the film Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye.

Itching is in your brain,
not on the skin
Itching happens in your brain, not on your skin, according to researchers at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg in Germany. There are at least two types of itch-one that is induced by immune-response chemicals called histamines, and another that is not.

Spice Up
Food for your skin
I have always maintained that internal health and external beauty are two sides of the same coin. The skin is called the mirror of the body and rightly so. No other organ reflects the state of internal health as faithfully as the skin does.

Race Course
The cafeteria at the Vodafone office sure believes in mixing savouries and sports. The eatery has ‘adventure’ as its decor theme.
Sunshine yellow, sports motifs, vibrant patterns, teamed with an adventure theme! No, we are not talking about a new restaurant that's open in the city, but we are here featuring an office canteen that spells elegance and sheer creativity.
