An actor evolves
The mention of girls drooling over his sexy body, killer looks and naughty eyes still brings an impish smile on his face. "And why not," he says like a young boy with a new-found fan-following.

How ads seduce you
Ever wondered how that enticing, full page ad in the magazine made you buy a huge flat screen TV against your better
judgement? Ads brainwash you in two ways. There is just the factual type, called ‘logical persuasion,’ or LP (this car gets 20 km to a

Sleep well, stay fit
