A different beat
Do we hear it right when a celebrity says she hates fame? Or is something wrong with our hearing? It’s understandable when our celebrity shares that she is a teetotaler, vegetarian or has never done drugs despite being in the industry where all this is a part of life. But when DJ Sassy
Pandez, who was described as, “The sexiest DJ in the world”, by Maxim magazine, says she hates being addicted to fame, we begin to wonder.
“Fame brings along depression. I have seen celebrities struggle with stress because they do not get a call from any of the leading magazines to be on the cover page,” she says. As for her, she has been there, done that - on the covers of Cosmopolitan,
FHM, Vogue, GQ and Maxim.
Chai on a high!
It’s perhaps the up-street way of sipping the drink of humility — the humble chai has come a long way and travelled up enough to be called the high tea! While hosting a high tea might sound all regal and lofty, is it actually a high class tea party? Or the nomenclature stems from the timings at which it is hosted. Perhaps, the menu is the differentiating factor. With majority of the celebrations being hosted or the collections being unveiled or the events being held over that
‘high-chai’, here’s all you wanted to know about it.
Break into the green
A refreshing get-away in nature’s lap, flitting birds to give you company, a soothing Kerala massage, meditation in solitude or complete rest in a small, gracious hut is what Yorks Health Resort promises. ‘A Date With Nature’ runs the tagline, a day’s trip, and, one couldn’t agree more!
NATURE’s BEST: The garden tha offers a beautiful
view.
Secure to the core!
Insecurity — the word looms large over each one of us; at some point or the other it makes a special appearance. Tellywood too deals with this word everyday. Anas Rashid, the lead actor of Star Plus' serial Diya Aur Baati Hum, is well-versed with insecurity. 'In fact, it is the maximum in the television industry," he says, slipping out easily from under the shadow of this most dreaded word.

Refreshingly metallic
Priyanka Chopra: We are so glad she has moved on to wearing bright hues and longer dresses. She lets her dress steal the show by pairing it with metallic grey peep-toes. We like the bare nails. They are refreshing. |
Pretty shimmers
Esha Deol: She looks pretty and we like her sufficiently festive salwar kurta. She has dressed well after ages and looks good in Indian wear. The shimmering sandals are a good choice. They would also look great with Westerns. |
Pleasant pumps
Simone Singh: The cute pale yellow pumps break her black-and-white co-ordination, as does the pink flower. The pumps add a sense of playfulness to her look. We like it.

Strikingly wasted
Amrita Arora Ladak: That is a striking dress and those shoes are fierce and striking. The bag gels with neither. She should have worn her super-smart pumps with something sober. Here, the dress steals the show and the shoes are wasted. —HRM |
