Not so friendly B-town!
Once upon a time in Mumbai… there were two friends, who worked and partied together. Their friendship was looked upon by people, till that day when equations changed, when loyalties drifted, when Farah Khan and husband Shirish Kunder opted for Akshay Kumar instead of long-time friend Shah Rukh Khan for their next venture, Tees Maar Khan.
The film bombed at the box-office and couldn't repeat the success of SRK and Farah Khan's projects. For what he is known for, SRK poked fun at the couple.

Magic in motion
"Dance needs no language" — stands true for the magic of Indian classical dance. Geeta Mahalik, inheritor of the centuries-old tradition of Odissi dance, made her presence felt just as she entered the Government College of Girls, Sector 11. Invited for a lecture demonstration by the Department of Dance, in association with the Society for Promotion of Indian Classical Music and Culture Amongst Youth (SPIC MACAY), she enthralled everyone.
Geeta not only provided a descriptive version of the elegant movements, but also spoke at length about the precious dance form.

Work & play
Work-life balance is difficult to maintain, especially in the corporate sector! Some of the jobs demand commitment levels that are more than what are required to run a marriage! So, it is but natural that incentives have to be the driving force. Working holidays are one among them, where employees get to work and enjoy with their families at the same time. Well, that’s a good deal for the hard-working corporate guys as they get to spend at least some time with their family!
Hazards of overtime
People who work 11 or more hours a day are more than two times likely to go through major depression compared to those working seven to eight hours a day, a new study has warned. The researchers, led by Marianna Virtanen of the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health and University College London, followed about 2000 middle aged British civil servants and found a robust association between overtime work and depression.

Red alert!
Normally those living in flats feel left-out when it comes to talking about gardening. The conditions on the terraces are not gardener-friendly as there are constraints of water, light, wind, sun, shade etc. The conditions on the terraces are harsh and the gardeners feel lost when it comes to rearing plants under such conditions. But it is not so. There is solution for all such problems.
Let us talk about the entry point of the house. Unlike the ground, there is no soil available on the floors. It has to be necessarily pot plants to decorate the entrance. And this is a must as the entry to the house is the reflection of the inside.

The dark secret
It is the most common non-hormonal skin problem and a frequent cosmetic concern with a huge psychological impact, significantly affecting quality of life.
Especially because the results are so variable, some patients are totally resistant and in some cases, improvement is only 50 to 60 per cent.
I approach a patient keeping in mind the various mechanisms of under- eye dark circles, which is whether it is a dermal melanin or whether it is an exogenous cause which is causing under-eye dark circles like allergy or a deficiency, whether it is a laxity around the skin or whether the patient has fat protrusion. All these aspects should be kept in mind before we
strategise.
