From fitting
into her teenaged daughter’s T-shirts to selecting a career
for her, today’s Net-savvy mother can prepare her children for
the real world quite effortlessly, writes Nonika
Singh
SHE can easily fit
into her daughter’s clothes, and more often than not looks as
good, if not better, than her. At parties, she has no
compunction when a man other than her husband asks for a dance.
She can be the life of parties, often drawing admiring glances.

Day
of the nerd
The bookish, spectacled
guy next door is no longer the marginalised figure he once was,
writes Alice-Azania Jarvis
Recently,
a film about a skinny, bespectacled boy named Harry enjoyed the
most profitable opening period in cinematic history. At the same
time, a series of children’s books starring a group of gauche
young tweens, NERDS, is expected to be one of Christmas’ big
sellers.
