Health is wealth
Travelling from one boat to another, with one foot on the shore and the other in water…sounds like we are talking about some rowing champion! Entrepreneurs, hoteliers, businessmen are no less in any way. Hopping from one meeting to the other the whole day, attending a hundred phone calls per day, out of which majority are courtesy calls, punching in quotations on the laptop…it's life in the Ferrari lane!

Perfect marriage
Many social issues are being picked up by film-makers nowadays and the attempt is to pass on some message to the viewers, besides the entertainment factor. Producer Jim Sanjay is the latest to join the fray.

Lady Gaga So much for vanity!
Lady Gaga's nude portrait, which was sketched by Tony Bennett for Vanity Fair is going to be auctioned off for charity. The 25-year-old pop queen recently posed nude so the 55-year-old crooner could draw pictures of her after they recorded a song for his Duets II album. The creative concept includes the sketch done by the music icon, as well as a photograph taken by famed fashion photographer Annie Leibovitz. Both images of the Born This Way hit-maker can be viewed exclusively inside the magazine.

Why waste?
Even as 62-year-old Chander Kanta takes us around her mobile van exhibition at the Government Museum and Art Gallery, Sector-10, Chandigarh; we are wondering how she created so much art from waste! The title of her exhibition ‘Art out of Waste’ so fits the bill!

Sakshi Tanwar Waiting for Sakshi
Ekta Kapoor seems like a loyal friend. She waited for Sakshi Tanwar to complete Bade Achche Lagte Hain to cast her as a heroine in her next film. Sakshi played the homely wife in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, and later did some forgettable films. Now, she is back with a hit in Bade Achche but as Ekta is fond of Sakshi, apparently she has promised to cast her in a film.

GET PHYSICAL
Breathe easy
It’s just the beginning of winter and one can already feel the nip in the air. And as winter intensifies, there is a marked increase in the number of asthma patients.  It is estimated that asthma has seven-ten per cent prevalence worldwide. Asthma (az-ma) is a chronic (long-term) lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways. Asthma causes recurring periods of wheezing (a whistling sound when you breathe), chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing. The coughing often occurs at night or early in the morning.

Celeb point
Going back in life
The location is the palace of Jodhpur and I am shooting for Vikram Bhatt’s Dangerous Ishq. I danced in the palace and felt like a queen! The sound of my anklet resounded in the palace and I wondered how it must have been when real queens lived here. The past enamours me! Strangely I’ve acted in many period films. I do feel a connect with those times. And I thought of touching base with some of my past lives.

Home truth

Smart choice
Being in sync with haute couture requires both, a sense of style and knowledge of the latest trends. Those who can adapt the former to his own style can be a true trendsetter. A graduate in Mechanical Engineering, Karan Sood likes to be casually smart.
