 More of mean
How mean can mean get? As reality shows vie to get meaner than the rest, here’s more
from the Dadagiri team visiting the tricity…
Alright folks, please don't throw up, but someone's got to mention this. How far will they go? From holding a cockroach to eating some eight-legged insect alive to what next? Probably, drink a houseflies' shake? One need not even hold the remote as much as their cell phone, to know what's being talked about.
Treats, taste-ticklers & traffic
Nothing quite matches the hassle-free days of leisure in Chandigarh, says city-bred actor Jatin Grewal
Of course, I love to walk to down memory lane, almost all the time because it is reminds me of the time when I had way too many good weekends. Today, the word weekend is almost like someone saying, 'Here, Jatin take this blank
cheque. I haven't tasted a good weekend for ages and I so desperately look forward to one," says city-bred actor-model Jatin
Grewal, who is working on the under-production flick Yogi.
Calculated moves
When it comes to expressing aggression, girls can play real mean!
Here's a story…a cute, smarty was dating three girls at the same time. The girls, unaware of his 'multitasking skills' were head over heels for him, till one day the truth comes out. Now, all three, heart-broken but not defeated, decided to teach him a lesson. They turn a plain Jane into a diva, set her as bait and wait for the guy to fall prey.
The motive, break his heart, just when it is love struck.

Positively negative
While self-help books are considered to boost a person's morale, a piece of research now suggests that positive self-statements in such books may actually leave people with low self-esteem and feeling worse about themselves. Psychologists Joanne V. Wood and John W. Lee from the University of Waterloo, and
W.Q. Elaine Perunovic from the University of New Brunswick, found that individuals with low self-esteem actually felt worse about themselves after repeating positive self-statements.

Social goof-ups? Mind it
Always end up making one faux pas or another, even after trying your best not to make any social gaffe? Well, researchers have now found why it happens. Harvard University scientists have claimed that the very act of trying to avoid saying or doing something can sometimes cause it to happen.
Blame it on stress
A new study has found that taking a lot of stress can cause people to pack on pounds. The study looked at the relationship between weight gain and multiple types of stress-job-related demands, difficulty paying bills, strained family relationships, depression or anxiety disorder-in the U.S. population.

Acting price-y ! |
Says S.K.Sharma, director of the society, "The fruit is not easily available in the market and its price is as high as Rs100 per Kg. The occasion is being celebrated to inspire people to plant more Jamun trees."

Purple passion
On Jamun Day, the Environmental Society of Chandigarh celebrated the goodness of the fruit
For once, let's take away the limelight from the King of fruits, Mango to the lesser popular fruit Black berries or better known as
jamun. The purple fruit hardly has any variety to boast unlike more than 2000 of mango. Yet, the fruit calls for some attention, courtesy its medicinal qualities, which were propagated rightly by the Environmental Society of Chandigarh on the Jamun Day, under the shade of jamun laden jamun trees on Wednesday in the city.
Striking a foreign chord
City-based sitarist returns enriched from the UK
India's religion, magic and music have been of vital interest in the foreign lands, but out of all these music has been the prime interest. Having travelled faster to other countries through medium of religious and cultural missionary activities, it was during globalization that Indian performing art musicians besides being real beneficiaries paved way for artists to win teaching assignments in almost all countries.

Spice up
Sun safe
Tanning is one of the immediate effects of sun-exposure and the affect of sun-damage on the skin is much more profound than we realise. Infact recent studies show that sun-exposure is responsible for many skin problems, including pre-mature ageing. And to what causes tanning?

Love hurts
I am a 28 year-old guy, working as a software engineer with a Government
