A Method In WILDERNESS
Life springs its own surprises and we were sure in for one on Thursday evening. Chandigarh Botanical Garden, around four kilometres from PGI, is a sprawling, beautiful, diverse garden spread in 176 acres of land. A green and blue tree gate makes one enter this nature’s retreat. The seven-kilometre path for walk is covered with trees of various species on both sides. Every fifty metres the tree types change, right from Kashmir’s pride Chinar to Trivia Nudiflora, a tropical rainforest tree, found in Andaman Nicobar. There is a whole range here for nature enthusiasts.

Serial flirt
Just as we expected; nothing seems to have changed. An infectious smile, a naughty twinkle in the eye, and Ashmit Patel or the reincarnated Aiishmit (courtesy Pakistani beauty) is ready to woo you again. Only this time, he will pass on the tricks to the contestants of UTV Bindass Reality show Superstud-The school of flirt, which he will be hosting.

Why we share'
Certain emotions like fear, anger or plain amusement prompt us to share articles, news and stories with our friends and acquaintances.

Twin delight on screen
The crowd at multiplexes around Chandigarh this Friday was a sure indicator of a big release. And what could have been bigger than Delhi Belly from Aamir Khan’s stable. Strangely, Bbuddha Hoga Terra Baap’ that opened along with much-awaited, much-controversial Delhi Belly, had its own share of takers, courtesy Big B’s huge fan base!

Film stars as fashion gurus
We all have our favourite fashion gurus, celebs, designers and models that we love to ape and follow. This week I will help you follow a star, who best supports a style in following him/her will get you noticed. Sonam Kapoor is one kid on the block whose sense of dressing and styling is being talked about the most. Sonam is one star who knows how to mix and match individuals and complete a look. All you girls who love dressing and love collecting designer brands, must study her fashion closely.

Monsoon Makeover
Wondering what you must add to your makeup bag this monsoon and what to chuck out? Monsoon certainly isn't the right time for pancake make-up and dark colours. What you really need is a makeup that is easy to reapply, doesn't clog your pores and makes you look dewy fresh all day long.

A Divine Journey
Far away from all the glitz, glamour and fast-moving life, there is a place that is comparable to heaven. Situated at 15,210-ft above the sea level, Gurdwara Hemkunt Sahib, in the magnificent Himalayas in Uttarakhand, is an out-of-the world spiritual experience. And my visit here, along with my family,  took me a step closer to spirituality.

State your delicacy
Thali, the Indian version of a Western plate, although much bigger in size, has its own taste and at times is much delectable than any five-star meal! Going back in time, every Indian household had thalis and food was served in them. After the advent of plastic and melamine, the humble thali has taken a backseat in Indian kitchens and now finds place in theme restaurants.

A chocolate delight at Bistro 226 Combo Magic
One cannot imagine an oasis of bliss in the midst of the chaotic Ghumar Mandi, but as one mounts the colonial stairs, one is transported into a different world. Bistro 226, a combo of a café and restaurant, is a welcome addition to the city’s menu.
