A CLASS in fashion
Each new session on campus brings with it a whiff of the latest from the world of fashion
It’s a carefully crafted messy look! As against the runways, classrooms fashion their own rules. Likewise, up-street gives way to uber chic, flip-flops replace the upscale wedges and casual careless statement wins hands down. Are floral prints the find of the season? Brand new session brings along brand new rules.“Everybody pulls out whatever they feel like wearing and try and make a statement of their own, nobody really follows any particular celebrity,” Manika
Ahuja, MCM student, tries summing up the laws of dressing.

Moving beyond tradition

Mahal, the fourth production of the Graduate Showcase.
Running on time
At any given point of time, the Indian television industry suffers from one obsession or the other. A few years back, from the prime time to late night slots, it only offered saas-bahu sagas, the sobbing heroines, the conspiring vampires and the grand families. Then the gears shifted towards reality shows.
Pink, purple, parrot…
bring colours on!

Health potion
What is it about greens that we see them and go "good health", and rightly so! When it comes to nourishment, green veggies pack a mean punch! There's evidence that peas probably originated in the sub-Himalayan plains of north-west India!So now we have reasons to be 'pea-proud'! Peas can morph beyond matar paneer and pulao if we use some ingenuity.

surveyNearly half of men questioned in the poll of 70,000 people said they would ditch a partner who gained weight, compared to only 20 per cent of women.
GET PHYSICAL
Glow like a yogi
Yoga and yogic exercises have become popular. According to some concepts yoga is the remedy for all ills, mental or physical. First, I would like to put it in perspective. Yoga is like a protective covering and a roof over your head which protects you from untoward circumstances.Yoga makes us internally fit by teaching us breathing exercises and stretching of the body. Secondly, I feel that we have a limited number of breaths allotted to us in life and if we learn to hold our breath the yogic way, we save on our breaths.
