Vinay Kanchan’s book The Madness Starts at 9 takes a satirical dig on corporate life
Anyone endowed with a keen observation power and a considerable hold over the language, would like to tell a tale. Long years of experience as an advertising guy in Mumbai, Vinay Kanchan too had some interesting facts to share. Facts like the great wars fought in the conference rooms, the friends and foes in the guise of a colleague or a boss and the politics that goes on unchecked.
So, he started blogging with Sulekha.com, initially to get a feel of it and express himself.
Pink…black…pink…Pink or Black? And she wrote a novel out of it. And it sold one lakh copies! We're talking about its author, Tishaa Khosla and on Saturday, the young writer was presented with the last of one lakh copies of the book, by the publisher Rupa and Co. Let's see what she has to say…
It would be nothing short of blasphemy to talk of wine and Vedas in the same breath.
An exception can be made in the case of Satyapal Choujar. The man is connected to both and for the right reasons. One being a profession and the other a passion. The wine contractor from

Hair extensions, which are attached to real tresses with glue, can make women go bald, skin experts have warned. According to researchers from American and Italian universities, the hairpieces, favoured by celebrities such as Paris Hilton, can lead to thinning hair and even permanent bald patches.
Dermatologists say the extensions put too much tension on hair roots. Experts say the extensions put such tension on follicles in the scalp that they can become inflamed causing hair to fall out - a condition known as traction alopecia, reports the Daily
