Fast forward 
We have spent all our lives watching women in the family getting up at 4:00 in the morning, eating a sumptuous meal and spending the entire day without a morsel…for the sake of love! This is perhaps one customary tradition that has not changed much except the fact that the younger generation is becoming increasingly inclined towards worshipping for the sake of tradition!

Date with tradition
This Saturday is a special one — some of the late-sleepers get up before the dawn breaks, foodies give up not only on food, but even water and the trendiest ones take pride in donning traditional attires. Well, it's Karva Chauth, progressives may label it whatever, but the festival has only gotten bigger with time. And how about women going on a shopping spree as their husbands (or would be) carry the bags?

Watch your wrist
Sometimes, luxuries flashed by people tend to cast a spell over others who notice them. Mostly, these include elegant and exclusive time machines, which look truly wonderful on one's wrist and are worth the cost as well. And having this luxury piece gifted by someone for your birthday makes it completely priceless! Says Harsh Chopra, a Panchkula-based businessman, "I'm into buying luxury watches, as I feel they add to a man's personality. 

Of sex and mama’s boys
Can teenagers' attachment to their mothers protect them from the negative impact of TV on their sexual attitudes?

Appetite vs hunger
People who struggle with their weight typically have problems managing appetite and hunger, and often confuse the two. Hunger and appetite are not synonyms. In fact, hunger and appetite are entirely different processes.

Get real
We sat over a cup of Coffee at Barista, my friend and I, she wanted a general breather as her kids had just finished their exams and her stress levels needed some solid honing down. I thought the caffeine, the ambience and the chat should generally soothe her nerves until she said 'Phew, now I am going to be under the onslaught of another type of stress'. Coping with technology in her kids lives seemed to be next on the agenda.

Action and reaction
Violent video games prompt aggressive behaviour. Does watching intense gunfights in video games prompt us to act more aggressively in real life? The Norwegian killer is said to have played violent video games before he killed dozens of people in Oslo's government district and on the vacation island of Utoya earlier this year.

Producing magic
So what if the costumes have not been designed by Neeta Lulla or Manish Malhotra? The crux of the story is that two weeks down the line, when bigger movies are falling apart, Sahib, Biwi Aur Gangster is still doing a roaring business. "I anticipate that it should work well at least for the next five weeks," says Rahul Mittra, the producer of the film.

Annual art competition 
The Chandigarh Lalit Kala Akademi is inviting entries in painting, sculpture, graphics (print making), mix-media, photography, drawing, installation and multi-media for participation in its Annual Art Exhibition 2011 to be held sometime later this year.
