All hail, the Hindu God of Architecture! So, what are you bowing your heads for? Stethoscope or screwdriver? Does it matter? The ultimate designer, the absolute draftsman, the official builder of the universe, the presiding deity of all the craftsmen! For the uninitiated, it was the Vishwakarma Day, a day when we worship what we owe our existence to the other 364 days, a day when the entire blue-collared brigade has a day off. We twist and turn our reverence a bit, ask the young and all the rest, what would be one thing they'd worship, strictly foolishly and frivolously speaking.
Racism in Australia, religious discrimination, minority issues — what all we, human race, have to go through! And when we, good Samaritans, during those drawing-room talks, condemn such pettiness, and embrace universalism because God is one, little do we realise that Mr Hydes in us has spread discrimination of sorts in the divinity too.
Let me explain how. Look at the importance we have accorded to the members of the Trimurti — Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva. While one comes across temples of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva almost everywhere, Brahma temples are few and far between.

It’s Diwali and the audience has been eagerly awaiting Bollywood’s biggest dhamakas this festive season. Unfortunately, they have a great deal of disappointment in store for them. None of the films released this Diwali have anything great going for them. Blue starring Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Zayed Khan, Lara Dutta and Katrina Kaif, directed by Anthony D’souza is likely to sink under the weight of gargantuan audience expectations. Main aur Mrs. Khanna starring Kareena Kapoor, Salman Khan and Sohail Khan with Deepika in a guest appearance, directed by Prem Soni is also likely to suffer the same fate. 
Actors are known for frequently changing costumes in their films, but Abhishek Bachchan shot 90 per cent of his upcoming film Paa dressed in a single costume.
The junior Bachchan is seen wearing a white kurta pyjama for a major portion of film because he is playing the role of a politician, a production house source said.To ensure that the clothes worn by the actor remain neat and clean, director R Balakrishnan had even ordered 10 sets of the same kurta pyjama.Interestingly, for the remaining 10 per cent of the movie, the Abhishek had over thirty costume changes."Abhishek plays a young forward-thinking politician who follows in the footsteps of his father played by Paresh Rawal,"explains
Balakrishnan.
expression – a comprehensive art that is inalienable from civilization. The Indian theatre, however, retains more strong social activism for expressing and debating issues of socio-cultural relevance more directly to audiences than other form of arts, the fact which accounts for the grand success of eight editions of Rashtirya Natya Parv,” says K.K. Khandelwal, director, Public Relations, Haryana. Keeping up with the earlier tradition the ninth annual National Theatre Fest
(Rashtriya Natya Parv), jointly organised by the NCZCC Allahabad, NZCC Patiala, and Department of Information and Public Relations,
Haryana, too brings seven classic plays by eminent thespians of India to the delight of art lovers of
tricity, adds Khandelwal.
Fragrances are part of grooming. They also evoke romance and sensuality and are the most luxurious of the aids that we use for grooming. Perfumes put the finishing touch to grooming and help to add that X-factor – whether it is femininity, sensuality or individuality. In fact, the market for perfumes is not only vast, but some of them constitute the most expensive among grooming aids. 
Imagine if there were no gyms, no treadmills, ab benches or weights even. Before the gym loyalists start showing symptoms of hypertension, let’s inform them that they still would be able to keep fit. How else do you think our older generations maintained their health? They had no posh fitness centres then, with the best of the exercising equipment, where best of music was played and had glitterati as members. 
The much-touted naturally produced molecule called resveratrol, found in red wine, may help squeeze out diabetes, says a new study. In the study, resveratrol has been shown to lower insulin levels in mice when injected directly into the brain, even when the animals ate a high-fat diet. The findings from a new UT Southwestern Medical Center study suggest that when acting directly on certain proteins in the brain, resveratrol may offer some protection against diabetes. Earlier research has shown that resveratrol exerts anti-diabetic actions when given orally to animals with type 2 diabetes (non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus), but it has been unclear which tissues in the body mediated these effects. 
The cigarette ads in the 60s, declared — 'You've come a long way, baby!' Advertising and movies not just made it acceptable for women to smoke but also promoted smoking as a potent symbol of their emancipation. But today, smoking-related illness among women and teenage girls is what making news.
All smokers, irrespective of gender, suffer the consequences of smoking such as increased cancer risk of the lung, mouth, larynx, pharynx, esophagus, kidney, pancreas, kidney, and bladder and respiratory diseases. 
If you want to lose weight, get more sleep. Getting little sleep on a regular basis can make it difficult to lose weight and may increase your risk for obesity. Although we burn more calories when we are awake than when we are asleep, we also eat more during those extra hours we are awake. Also, the more sleep deprived a person is; the less active he or she becomes.
