Girls Boss here!
Finally…they came, we saw and wondered — what's happening? Twelve girls, one man and one transgender, this is the assortment for Bigg Boss Season 5. As Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt called upon one contestant after the other, we wondered where the Jean Seans, Mike Tysons, Mikas — the rumoured male inmates of the house — were.

Item code
Actress Sambhavna Seth does not mince words when it comes to her work. The tag 'item girl' is anathema to her. It is a pejorative term, she says. It objectifies women. "It's an unwelcome tag. I'm not an item or an object. For that matter, no woman is an item," she announces. She considers herself to be a performer, who loves her work. Dance is her passion. And, by her own admission, she's partial to it.

STICK to it
So, you don’t need to order coffee and sit at a lounge to strike a conversation with someone. There are umpteen places that serve the purpose — dandiya nights being one of them. Put your dandiya sticks together, soak in the festive spirit; slip into a designer chaniya choli, invite a DJ and dance away to glory. Although Chandigarh residents don’t seem to be terribly smitten by dandiya, this doesn’t stop people from throwing parties at their place. The spirit is alive and so is the festivity.

NATURAL canvas
Nature - high mountains, cloud cover, misty weather, green trees - and artists from around the world became one at Jai Jagadamba Temple, Khajjiar, Himachal Pradesh, for a five-day international workshop during the last week of September. The first week of October witnesses the results – in the form of an exhibition at the Government Museum & Art Gallery, Sector-10, Chandigarh.

Par Excellence
Developing a routine
Whether it is to correct a hook or a slice, a correct grip is the most important part. All curved shots or shot which turn in the air are caused by a club face closed in a hook or open in a slice.

HEART talk
Party problem
I am 18 and recently I have been exposed to parties and night life. My parents vehemently oppose to this, which is the cause of fights at home everyday. I can’t make them understand that not all parties are bad. At the same time I don’t want to cheat or lie to them. Can you suggest a middle path?

Food for thought
More than 50 per cent of women in a study confessed that they thought about food more than sex. Ten per cent of those surveyed by the weight loss company Atkins, revealed they would feel guiltier straying from their diet than being unfaithful to their partner.  The most common reason for women in Britain to start a diet is trying to attain “the perfect beach body”, while one in seven said they were motivated by cruel taunts over their weight. More than a third of respondents said they thought about food and dieting more than they thought about their partner and 54 percent confessed they thought about food more than sex, the newspaper said quoting the study.

Essence of a celeb

Perfectionist
Aamir Khan:
'Perfectionist'-that's how people define me. I don't have any word for myself.
Too good
Eesha Kopikhar:
People call me 'too good' and that's the one word they use to describe me as I am always good to people and never humiliate or insult anyone.
Be positive
Mahima Chaudhury: One word which describes me is 'positive' because in the morning when I wake up I just smile and think about all good things.
Fashion diva
Sonam Kapoor:
I would say 'fashionable' is the word which describes me best. Because wherever I go I am tagged as a fashionista, especially after Aisha and I am happy with my tag.
