KNOT an issue anymore!
Unlike yesteryears, the marriage of celebrities does not send their female fans into frenzy. The wedding of Olympic gold medal winning boxer Vijender Singh is a case in point
Times have changed; you definitely don't need someone to tell you this at least, albeit we get this inane thought because of boxer Vijender Singh!
This champ, a handsome young man, is tying the knot with a Delhi-based girl Archana Singh and not a single girl has dropped a tear, no television set has been broken, not even a single, far-flung case of suicide! What's happened to you girls? Where has all the drooling love vanished? You would cover Rajesh Khanna's car with lipstick marks, chant his name and write letters in blood.

In a bid to promote storytelling, members of Centre for Education and Voluntary Action are set to hold storytelling sessions across Chandigarh
A STORY to tell
"Welcome to the fantasy world. Here trees, birds and animals are friends with each other. Together, they are searching for their friend, cloud, who has lost his way. It hasn't rained in the jungle for quite sometime and the scene wouldn't change until he is located." As the storyteller further reads The Rain Cloud, we realised that each child was gradually becoming a part of the fantasy world.

The body turn
Off-centre contact leads to a loss of distance and can also cause direction problems. Poor contact with the ball can be caused by a poor grip or an unstable swing centre. If the body does not maintain its position over the ball, it is difficult to hit the ball in the centre of the club.
Close(t) secret
Every time you open your closet, you struggle with those big piles of unused clothes which are tried over and over again, and yet never make it to the particular event. Every girl wants to look perfect when it comes to dressing up for some special occasion, but sadly that closet which is on the verge of blowing off with all those dresses, is still inadequate when it comes to the dress. Be it a party, an official meeting, lunch, dinner date or a casual hangout; you have to look your best. We ask our Bollywood celebs what every one must-have in her wardrobe:
