CLASSIC move
In the process of learning Latin dance forms, what not she went through! She broke three stilettos, slipped while rehearsing at least half-a-dozen times, got bruised, suffered sprains, even injured her partner when she stepped on his feet wearing 6-inch heel! But, Nikhar doesn't mind these, as she looks back. The 15-year-old from the city won the National Dance Sport Championship held at Mysore this year.

Last-minute show
Before the curtains are up… The Half (a theatre language for the 30 minutes before the actor goes on stage), is almost like a meditative up, close and personal experience for various Punjabi singers, who blow up like a wire on stage. Seeing singer Sukhwinder Singh do a Chhaiyan Chhaiyan on stage makes you wonder, 'what has this man eaten today'!
Designed to SUIT
All the brides-to-be, if you are dilly-dallying with the idea of spending a fortune on the trousseau, chill out and go ahead. Designer Gunjan Nagpal launches Aura Fashion Design Studio in Panchkula where she designs all garments, which aptly qualify as all-season garments.
Putting - On centre contact
Confidence in 'putting' or even the long game is built with consistent on centre strikes or when we hit the ball from the 'sweet spot'. Every putter has a sweet spot which is more or less in the centre and is marked by either a spot or a line. The alignment line on the back of the putter blade also corresponds to the sweet spot. If we hit the ball from the toe of the putter the putter face will open and the ball will spin to the right. Similarly heel hits move to the left. Both the off centre hits (toe and heel) lose speed and remain short of the hole.
Over a cup of coffee
The concept of community café is not new in India but youth in Chandigarh are getting together over a cup of coffee to share ideas. At Café Kaffee Kuchh, a group of coffee lovers gather every Sunday at Lala Lajpat Rai Bhawan, Sector 15, Chandigarh, to chill and just be.

De-STRESS call!
Sylvia Path, the American poet, knew it too well. Whether or not she dealt with the stress that we do with today, she knew for sure that there are quite a few things that a hot bath won't cure! Indeed, stress is one of them.
Find that connect
I am a homemaker. I have two kids and am in a blissful marriage. But my husband is very possessive, he does not allow me to meet my friends or call them regularly. He also keeps a check on where I go, and whom do I meet. He is otherwise a nice person, how do I deal with his insecurity?
Monsoon bloom
School summer vacations may be over but for many who attended workshops in music, drama, dance, personality development, the vacations become a wonderful memory. It is encouraging that many government or sponsored institutions are following suit.
