GRAND MARSHAL
When it comes to motorsports, it does not gather any more élan than Formula 1. As the multi-turbo-charged engines reverberate in India, for the very first time we catch up with the few from Chandigarh who will be in the middle of the sun, speed and sound!
Age is really not the criterion for getting in the middle of the craze. Therefore, the age-group spreads across a spectrum.

Fun Formula
When a cricket and Bollywood crazy country shifts its focus to something else, it is a seemingly important thing. And well, it looks like it is - Formula One is the much-talked about thing in the sports and non-sports circuit as of now. Interestingly, it has taken precedence over Shah Rukh Khan's over-hyped, over-marketed Ra One and everything else!

Generation leap
Long branded as a bunch of edgy, angst-ridden underachievers, members of Generation X are actually leading quite active, enriching and happy lives, so says a new study.
"They are active in their communities, mainly satisfied with their jobs, and able to balance work, family, and leisure," said study author and political scientist Jon Miller from the University of Michigan (UM).
Miller directs the Longitudinal Study of American Youth at the UM Institute for Social Research which includes responses from approximately 4,000 Gen Xers — born between 1961 and 1981.

So much vanity
A dressing table is an important part of a bedroom. There was a time when home owners would love to have a large dressing table. Although the focus has now shifted to many other furniture items, still, dressing tables do have a significant place in a bedroom.

HEART TALK
It's workable
I am 28-year-old, newly married woman. I stay in a joint family. I want to resume work, but I don't know how to approach the topic. Do you think it would be wise to ask my in- laws about it? I am skeptical about how they would react?
I think you should hang on for a while, and then express your desire. Discuss the idea with your husband, and then share it with rest of the members of the family.

Out of the league
Sonu Sood might not be a part of Dabangg 2. He was excellent in the first film but his villainous character is likely to be replaced by famous villain Prakash Raj. Arbaaz Khan is directing the film. |

We think it will be great for her career. |
