Inside the ring
Precious twenty minutes of crash-course on two subjects - first on MMA (mixed martial arts) and second on Raj Kundra. The latter initially seems more interesting because till now we only know him as Shilpa Shetty’s husband, owner of an IPL team and a businessman from London. Know more of him, from him, “I am a Punjabi by heart,” and that is where it stops.

Positively yummy
Baked potato triggers positive memories! The smell of a baked potato can actually make us feel happier, scientists say. Researchers have discovered that the aromas given off during the cooking process can trigger positive memories in the brain. As part of the study, subjects were presented with a Maris Piper, baked in the oven for an hour 140 degrees, and asked if it inspired any feelings.
TUNE IN
ROCK SOLID
Music, they say, is forever. Which is why, till today, The Rolling Stones from five decades back find a prominent place in the playlists? Music is the sound of emotions. Which is why, we have soft ballads and we have death metal. Music, they say, makes the world go round. Well, isn’t it still spinning at the tracks from contemporary rock bands to legendary artists?

CELEB POINT
Dress circle
Your dress makes such a huge difference in how you are perceived. Especially as an actor and that too on the set. The first thing the onlookers observe is how you look. Eh heroine dekh! Kya
lag rahi hai! Or, ye kya pehna hai isne! Too tight, too short, too fat! Too many comments!
GET PHYSICAL
Head start
Shirshasana
Shirshasana is considered as the king of asanas due to its effect on the entire body. The Sanskrit word shirsha means head. Hence this posture is better known as the headstand posture. Its physical and mental benefits derive both from the emphasis on balance and the body’s inverted position.
