 Too
many cooks...
bring
variety
Cookery shows are the
current flavour on Indian television. The latest to join
the bandwagon is Fox History & Traveller with Twist
of Taste by Michelin-star Indian chef Vineet Bhatia,
writes Neerja Bahadur
Mealtime
has never been so much fun for middle-class India.
Back in the 1990s, when Sanjeev Kapoor began hosting Khana
Khazana on Zee, little did he imagine he was opening
the floodgates for a slew of cookery shows. His show is
now broadcast in 120 countries and has more than 500
million viewers.

Romance
at work
Long working hours in
offices have bred a new brand of relationship, that of ‘office
spouse’. They are co-workers, who are friends, and sometimes
even much more, says Jaydip Majumder
It
started out as an innocent friendship for Pritsikha Kaul
and Anil Roy. Both of them were co-workers in a software company
and spent long hours at work. Over steaming cups of coffee, they
would share secrets and would give each other support during
hard times.
Health
from mud
Mud has several medical
properties that can cure various kinds of diseases, says M.
J. Raju
Mud
therapy is regarded as a 5000-year-old traditional Indian
ayurvedic medicine in which different layers of mud paste are
applied on the body against diseases. Basically, Indian rural
and tribal people believe that mud has many medical properties
for all kinds of diseases. They smear mud on the inner and outer
layers in their houses to keep them cool during summer and warm
during winter, and most importantly, to keep diseases and germs
outside the houses.
