If looks could kill
If Hollywood's hot favourite Jennifer Aniston spends 90,000 pounds on beauty treatments each year, reports peg our erstwhile reigning Bollywood queen Sridevi and her family's expenses on looks at a staggering Rs 25 lakhs a month. We talk to a few in the glamour industry on how
challenging it is to present a pleasant picture all the time.
The smile says it all...
Gossamer skin, eyes brightened with kohl and a dark lip colour rolled on her fuller lips, actress Sonali Bendre looks far more pretty and real that what we see of her on screen.

Essentially yellow
Some people think that yellow is auspicious and especially go for the plant that bears yellow bloom. I do not promote superstition but to help gardeners to find such plants, I will definitely suggest. Let it be for both, those with land and those living on successively higher floors, that is, in flats.
Master Chef
Southern comfort
Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada, all these languages have different names and varying versions of a delightful rice dish which is tempered with spices and folded into yoghurt. Call it bakalabhaat, mosaranna or anything else, the cooling 'curd-rice' is a heavenly blend of flavours which is light on the stomach and pleasing to the palate. Eaten cold, it is the perfect way to use up leftover rice!
