War of the clones
Some Punjabi reality shows may be clones of Hindi ones but they’re bringing the original regional flavour too
Think you’ve had enough of action on the small screen, enough with your rather bizarre encounters with reality shows. A break from the reality routine is still not on the cards though you could sample it in a new flavour.

Why don’t you sport your bell-bottoms or any of those baggie high-waist jeans to the parties? Because they no longer fall in the ‘in’ kinda style. Right? Well, then why should you rock to the tunes of the old CDs remixed and scratched on the turntables? There you are. “Music is like fashion. It changes its form and shape every now and then.  — Photo: S Chandan

Hair's some news
Call it perfection at its best - in order to ensure that Kate Winslet's body was consistent with the era projected in the film The Reader, the actor wore a pubic wig. The Oscar-winning star, who had to bare all for the Holocaust movie, told Allure magazine: "I had to grow the hair down there. But because of years of waxing, as all of us girls know, it doesn't come back quite the way it used to.”

Heal 'n' hearty
An alternate treatment, Pranic healing is a no- touch therapy
The ambience around has its affect on our body. If positive energy is predominant, the body will heal faster from a disease, if negative, the effect will be on the same lines. It thus becomes imperative to infuse positivity in our surroundings and Pranic healing exactly does that.

Believe it or not…
Either you believe in it or you don’t. Crystals, fire, cards, candles, rocks, balls. You know what we mean. And this piece is for those who do. Renu Mathur, the tricity based tarot card reader, shaman witch, presented a Scandinavian method of divination, Rune Casting. Umm…Rune Casting? Now, what’s that? “It involves crystals as a healing technique, wherein a set of twenty-five crystals with symbols on them are cast in a specific manner,” says Renu.

Summer shakers
This seems like a strange summer. Firstly, we lost spring very quickly to an over-eager summer. Then came the hailstorm in May which made us feel that maybe, the heat will give in to monsoon early. But, no signs are clear and visible.  We have had a bad mango year despite the burgeoning buds that showed up in spring. The mango crop has been disappointing. However, the watermelon vendors seem to be doing very well. PSEB however is foundering, especially in the sectors that also house commercial complexes.
