From concrete to green, city dwellings show a slow shift
Green building is a new trend sweeping the globe, as more and more people are realising the importance of creating eco-friendly homes. And along with energy-efficiency, the spotlight is on cost-effective dwellings too, with our country being no exception.

Transcending economics
Even before the barter system began, when the word commerce was invented and slightly after man started producing more than he could consume. Lost? Clueless? No we are not talking of the totally historical 14th century BC or the anno domini. The very widespread and very ordinary sales are the point of discussion. Yet again! But ever wondered what makes them so popular? Got to be beyond economics.

Dimsum Delicacy
Call it what you like-momos or dimsums - they sure are a rage these days
Momos or dimsums (call it what you like as there is no specific difference between the two apart from there names)- Don't we all love binging on it? Yes, we do. Almost a rage these days, be it then the Punjabis, Biharis, Himachalis or South Indians, every one seems to have developed a taste for these little dumplings, filled with veggies, cheese, chicken or meat.
Picks & piques
Acclaim apart
Forget the 10 Oscar nominations that it has managed. Also forget the rave reviews that it has been getting the world over. Go to watch Slumdog Millionaire with an open mind. Then it will hit you in the solar plexus real hard.
SCREAMMMMM!!
It’s a scary movie. No pun intended. With Bhatts’ horror factory churning out yet another paranormal tale, this time it’s talented Mohit Suri (Kalyug, Who Lamhe, Aawarapan) who has been entrusted the job of spooking you out. And he doesn’t disappoint.
Mock tales
No(i)se for news
Another breaking news—This week, it was Slumdog..., Sanjay and Obama that kept news channels on their toes.
Okay, so with Slumdog Millionaire Indians have finally tasted success at western shores. After Golden Globes, its eyes are strongly focused on Oscars now, and so the Indian media has found a selling point. By this, we are not undermining the honest and well-deserved praise that this movie got, but only bringing out the fact that this movie has made our media go into frenzy all over again, for their share of ‘exclusives’.
