A fine balance
Despite early morning flights, events, fitting sessions, interviews, strutting the ramp, late night parties…models find out time to exercise and remain fit
|
| This is considered an unattainable combination - beauty with brains. Even though some beauty queens have managed to exhibit both in different capacity, the deadly combination is a tough thing to achieve. Off late, another combination is looked upon as a 'not so easy a thing' to achieve.

On display
Umpteen varieties of traditional items at reasonable prices…exhibitions
in the city sure have a lot to offer
Any amount of planning is incomplete without sufficient funds.
Whether it is planning to improve the condition of the roads or to
provide better education facilities or planning to do up your house or
even your wardrobe… everything boils down to 'money' and how it can be
budgeted. When it comes to doing up a house, which means getting in a new sofa set, expensive upholstery, bed-sheets, table lamps, brand new suits…the budget can really sky-rocket. In this case, exhibitions taking place in the city are the bait.

Men in white
Our parents wore them, our leaders have always worn them … and kurta pyjamas are a hot fashion trend on the campus as well
What separates style from fashion? Fads fade away while customs remain. Doesn’t the ultimate trend traverse generations? Tune into campus and it’s dress code kurta pyjamas. The ethnic wear is more than a custom collectively followed by student population. |

Bonding over banquet
One way parents can keep up communication with their teenage children is to sit down together for dinner, finds a new study.

Mind the comp!
A new study has revealed that giving teenagers access to computers can weaken their reading and maths skills. The Sunday Telegraph reported a survey of more than half a million children revealed that technology is counter-productive in improving student achievement, reports a website.
What’s with accent dude!
Human brains imitate speech patterns of other people, even complete strangers, without meaning to due to an inbuilt urge of the brain to "affiliate" with them. Researchers say humans want to "bond" with others, even when a voice cannot be heard or, somewhat embarrassingly, even if another person is a foreigner.

Fortnight before the elections is the time when the campus comes alive. Our lensman
Vinay Malik captures some moments. |
