Getting bossy?
In the city to talk about reality show Dadagiri 4, Boys vs Girls, the anchor of the show Amit Tandon and 'dada' Vishal talk about the show
There are three things that a battlefield does not permit - no ifs and buts, no time to turn back and absolutely zilch scope of losing focus. In case you don't follow instructions…you are gone, history in matter of seconds. As simple as it sounds, the rules of the game are simple - do or die. The rules haven't changed, whether it is battlefield or the grounds of Dadagiri 4, the reality game show starting on UTV Bindaas. Prepare for the best and expect the worst!
Amit Tandon and Vishal

World of words
His first story came about as an exercise in cursive writing, and has as much of a history behind it as the poems that he weaved from then onwards. "My father was horrified to see my illegible handwriting. So he asked me to fill five pages in a good hand. I couldn't bring myself to repeat the same sentence each time so I started to weave words in a way to capture the flights of fancy," Manav Sachdeva Maasoom, flashes back to "how words became his world."

The big battle
UTV Bindass Boys Vs Girls with Dadagiri 4 is a show where the girls rough it up with the boys on a level playing. Starkly different from the previous seasons, this year the channel pits them against each other to survive the wildest challenges thrown by the opponents. The two teams will be competing with each other in numerous tasks, breaking stereotypes, busting myths and re-writing age-old norms.

The mystique of fog
There is something about fog that has inspired artists and litterateurs
Fog is a chance subject, not available like the twilight or the sunshine. For some it blurs what you see, for others it brings out whatever little you see; brings out the elements unknown, lends a mystic touch and reveals the beauty hitherto hidden in a point of view. Of all the things obscured by fog, art is certainly not one. For, the Red Fort clicked against the backdrop of Delhi fog will accentuate the monument, as also give an idea of the terrain where it’s situated.

Canine tricks
You had to see Buddy’s face, he was jumping with joy. My dear Buddy, he is a real champion,” smiles Sonu, as he pats his Lhasa Apso, Buddy, who has won the best breed award in various dog shows at Kanpur, Lucknow, Dehradun, Amritsar, Mohali, Gurgaon, Shimla and Mohali. Buddy has also won six awards for ‘Best In Show’.

Sweet something
Jaggery or what we popularly call gur is made of sugarcane and palm tree; an ingredient that is used in sweet and savoury dishes across the country. Used appreciably in Karnataka and Gujarati cuisine, gur is even added to dals in these areas to balance the spicy, salty and sour contents. Maharashtrian dishes too include gur, especially during the Makar Sankranti. And, in rural Maharashtra, water and jaggery are offered to the people on their arrival. The famous dish puran poli is made of jaggery. For apna Punjab, a dalli of gur is a must-have after meals.

Warming winter wonders
The cold wave doth blow in all its severity.....! My husband has been dragging a very unwilling me for a walk on most frosty days and I have been digging my heels in, almost like a dog on a leash! Who wants to trudge around with numb fingers, frozen toes, teeth chattering like castanets and a runny nose that's threatening to snap off? The chill outside results in a rumble in the belly and a desire to curl up and munch on foods that are hearty, filling and high in kilojoules. Food is the foundation of the body and it has the most amazing effects on our system ... .
