The Tribune, Chandigarh, India - The Tribune Lifestyle

HOGging the limelight
It is a relatively regular Saturday afternoon. The absent-minded moment of traffic, the crazily parked posh cars outside a row of restaurants, traffic cops hiding (that's called official duty by the way) under the shade of trees….it is just another day. Till….we hear a roar, and we would know it with our eyes closed that nothing else sounds like 'it'. What follows is a gurgling noise that roars across Chandigarh, catching momentum full-throttle! These are the ghost riders, the men in black, flaming and burning with passion - high on something that riders call 'a ride'.

China’s art market
The art world shook last February, when a report by The European Fine Art Foundation (TEFAF) revealed that China had overtaken the United Kingdom to become the world’s second largest art market.

The chosen one
Without doubt he is a man of few words. But then more than holding listeners in rapt attention, renowned artist Akbar Padamsee (in Chandigarh for a lecture organised by Chandigarh Lalit Kala Akademi on Friday evening at Government Museum-10 auditorium) believes in — “listening to my inner self.”

Delicacies from Down South
If authentic South Indian food is what you care for, Chennai Mirchi, newly opened restaurant at Sector 16, Panchkula, promises the same with its ongoing South Indian food festival.

Tribute to womanhood
Enter the world of a woman — fun-loving, caring, and joyous; as a bride, a mother or a sister! Encapsulating all the facets of the fairer sex, Haryana Tourism, together with the Directorate of Census Operations, Haryana, has brought together all photographers who promote the thought of woman empowerment in an exhibition — To Be a Woman.

Junk addiction!
Can't stop eating junk food while watching TV? You may think it may be because you like the taste, but it's not the case. It is because we are such creatures of habit that once we have associated a place with a certain kind of food, like popcorn at the cinema, we will keep eating it - even if it's stale, scientists say.

GET PHYSICAL
AFTER WEIGHT LOSS
Achieving a desired weight is not the end of the road in weight loss. It's easy to think that once you've reached your goal weight, the journey is over. But do not be fooled.
