Classic cloning
The recent Fox-BR Films legal tussle has brought the focus back on Bollywood scourge: Copying
Has a recent Hindi flick left you with a strong sense of déjà vu? Most of us would answer in the affirmative. The desi idea of a perfect box-office recipe is rather simple — pilfer a Hollywood plot, pour some meldodrama into it and shake the two vigorously. PS: Don’t forget to sprinkle it with some sleazy song and dance number before serving. Bollywood, the biggest film industry in the world, has never shied away from showing its maddening penchant for Hollywood. So, unabashed copying, wherein concepts are hijacked and frames airlifted, comes naturally to it.

Counselling the cause
It’s not just academics, school counsellors have to deal with serious stuff like adolescence troubles, family issues as well as peer and parental pressure
It was early in the morning around the same time last year when a phone call jostled Adarsh Kohli, a city-based psychologist. Replying to her sluggish “Hello” was a terrifying wail from a boy, “Suicide is the only option.”

Bazaar buzz
Jugnu Bazaar provides a platform for voluntary organisations to become self-reliant
It's USP does not lie in 'cent per cent recycled, cotton fiber, non-toxic'. But in the fact that shoeshine boys were diverted to make it and its proceeds is going to help the whining stray dog outside. People For Animals, Chandigarh, hosted a two-day Jugnu Bazaar. Assortment of handmade paper, photographs, painting, antique tiles stacked together, it was quite a bazaar. And colorful one!

Scent of summer
Dr G.P. Thami, head of the Dermatology Department, talks about body odour and how to get rid of it
Look attractive and feel great but how do you smell? It's true that we sweat more than usual in hot weather, while exercising or when feeling anxious and sweating is the body's way of cooling down. During summer, we sweat more and dried sweat leads to the proliferation of bacteria on the skin, which leads to, well, those around you keeping a distance, which is more than just respectable!

Nothing fishy about it

Folk fest
Swang-Folk Theatre to showcase Haryanavi life
Folk music and dance is the true and natural reflection of the pastoral living of any region or community, their traditions, folklore and life style. Normally it is the oral tradition which preserves folk songs or ballads which are passed from one generation to the next by singing and memorising which always gives profound aesthetic satisfaction to the performer and listener both.
