Cat and muse
There is nothing 'super' about superstitions. What could possibly be good about having to step back and start all over again if someone makes the mistake of calling out your name exactly at the moment you decided to go out of your home, or screeching the car to a stop if a stray kitten — black or grey — crosses the road? Nothing at all!
But then, there is no escaping them either. Crows may have done a disappearing act from the cityscape, but one would still think of it as an indicator of guests coming unannounced.
DRESSING the bride
The wait was not very comfortable. The anxiety rose and a tad bit later, we came face-to-face with bridal couture and the jewellery collection slated for the upcoming Wedding Asia. Very vocal about the royal touch, the collection was loyal to its theme — Seher.
Believe it or not!
Shoheli Biswas was happy being an interior designer for 15 long years in Cochin before the call of past life regression hit her! Not only it helped her get over her problems, but also inspired her to opt for it as a career. Today, Shoheli travels around the country offering workshops as well as individual sessions and is actively involved in setting up Life University at Vikarabad, 88kms from Hyderabad, which will be the meeting ground of spiritual scientists from all over the world.
As for past regression, it is said to help the subject get into an altered state of consciousness during which he or she can access memories of the past life. "The glimpses of the past help one unlock the blocked energies to sort out troubles in this life," says
Shoheli, who got training under Dr Newton Kondaveti. "My own life unfolded like a big jigsaw puzzle and everything has fallen in place since I tried it," she says.
Work wise
Economic independence is the yardstick of emancipation, if girls from Ludhiana city are to be believed. "When you're economically independent, you have the decision-making power. At least your voice is heard, if not heeded to," says 20-year-old Garima
Pruthi. Stay-at-home mothers may be doing their best for the family, yet they have to play a second fiddle when it comes to core issues, she adds.
Being different
Style and haute couture will always be something which will be noticed and warrant a second glance. When it has an individualistic touch, it becomes the insignia style of the person which makes him/her stand out. Debonair model in the fashion and commercial world, Sayush S Nayyar shares his views
Double standards
Couples with different body temperatures often squabble over bed covers leading to duvet wars, but now a newly designed quilt has promised to put an end to these wars for good. Bedding experts have created a split-warmth quilt, which is thicker on one side than the other.
The TwoTog, which is made in a Lancashire mill for John Lewis, is believed to be the first in which the quilt comes in one piece.
OMG, here's a new word
OMG - short for 'oh my God' - has joined a whole raft of 'new' words said to be
reflective of modern Britain to become immortalised in the latest edition of the
Chambers Dictionary. 'OMG' is derived from text-speak but actually involves the
same number of syllables to say out loud as the original version.
Fun time
The members of Sarabha Ladies Club celebrated the festivals, Raksha Bandhan, Janamashtmi, Independence Day, by dancing to the songs of Phulo ka, taro ka, Dhol baje, Aisa desh hai mera and many more.
Explore life
I am a 23- year-old girl from Punjab, working as a call centre employee. I am new to this kind of set up, where girls and boys mingle with each other freely. One of my colleagues shows a lot of interest in me that has made me uncomfortable. What do you think is the solution?
Like poles attract
It's well known that adventurous women are more likely to choose partners who have similar personalities, irrespective of their appearance. Now, a study by researchers at the University of Exeter and the Royal Veterinary College has shown that the same can be said of birds.
It's magical
The Choomantar song has introduced the magical quotient to the film Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. The peppy track that shows the lead pair, Imran Khan and Katrina Kaif having fun on the Delhi roads, has become a huge hit already. Besides its music, the USP of the song is the chemistry between the actors that has come to fore after the video was released. The actors' fans love the song.
Green top
In today's modern fast paced cities, where there is more concrete than greenery, where there are more buildings than gardens, a terrace garden is an ideal concept to connect with nature. These can be created anywhere and here are a few tips to help you create your own green haven.
