An issue that matters
The moment one talks about sperm donation in our country, one sees a few red faces, but Vicky Donor, an upcoming Bollywood rom-com, starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Yami Gautam and Annu Kapoor, is just the right kind of education for people. If on one hand Ayushmann and Yami are making their debut in Bollywood, actor John Abraham is turning producer with this movie and is also making an appearance in an item song Rum Whisky. Although sperm donation forms the background of the movie, it revolves around a love story between a Punjabi guy and a
Bengali girl.
Housing a dream
When Deepak Sud bought almost a hundred-year-old property on the outskirts of Shimla, the last thing he wanted to do was to dismantle it. Same has been the case with Daavin Vohra from Sector 11, Chandigarh. She bought an old house and with the help of their able architect Ajai Johl, turned it around while retaining the structural base and yet having all modern facilities.
A keen eye
Dr Amod Gupta is a leading eye surgeon of the country with specialisation in Uvea and Retina. His uncle Dr SC Gupta, a known eye surgeon of his times, inspired Dr Amod to pick up ophthalmology as a career. “The respect and stature he enjoyed in the family enthused me,” says Dr Amod.

Grey zone
Hair colour is produced by tiny hair pigment cells within our hair follicles called melanocytes. As we age, the activity of these melanocytes gradually declines until they stop making pigment. New hair grown in without pigment, result in grey hair. With age the melanocytes lose their ability to make pigment, so colour is absent from new hair.

The LOW and the HIGH shot
Apart from putting curvature on the ball as in the shaped shots (Draw and fade) we can also vary the trajectory of the ball. The low shot is a useful shot while playing from under the trees in a rough or for playing in extremely windy conditions. The high shot maybe required when we have to hit over a tree/obstruction or to an elevated green.
