Like a dream..
The blinding shimmer of the tiara. The dazzling smile. The pride. The glimmer of reaching the stars. An uncanny resemblance to Chitrangada Singh. The exact things dreams are made of! A fine example of making it big in the beauty world, Vanya Mishra, Pantaloons Femina Miss India, returns home to Chandigarh on Tuesday. Dressed in a body-hugging pink strapless outfit, the young engineer-in-the-making looked every bit of a new-born star.

Tarun Tahiliani Master touch
From ancient times, people have tried to find the answer to the most difficult philosophical question - who’s bigger-the product or the person behind it, the creation or the creator? Almost on the same lines, we wonder about the precise definition of genius - a beautiful bridal lehanga embellished with semi-precious stones, done with intricate zardosi work or the name behind it?

Over the top
Fashion changes quickly and that is what we love about it! We have barely filled our wardrobes with the latest style and here we have summer 2012 catwalk trend on femininity and glamour. Expect to see hourglass figures, cocoon shapes, floral and tropical patterns (yet again), tribal prints and pastels in tops this season.

Vidya Balan Surging ahead!
Vidya Balan has a slew of hit songs and a lot of bankability after The Dirty Picture. She has increased her fee twice since the release following the success of Kahaani. She also has her own world tour now. A source says, “Vidya now knows that she sells as a brand so she has become even choosier in her scripts. She only wants prominent or solo heroine roles. Even overseas, she has many more fans now because her recent films have done so well. She has been on a hit and acclaim spree since Paa, Ishqiya, No One Killed Jessica, The Dirty Picture, and Kahaani. People are willing to pay almost INR 5 crore per movie but she is more interested in doing quality roles over money.

Straight from the star
Sonakshi Sinha is undeniably attractive and pretty. With her tall and voluptuous frame, she stands out from the standardised rest. The actress from upcoming films such as Rowdy Rathore and Joker, talks about her body type and taking care of herself.

Daughter’s rejection was heart-breaking: Katherine Heigl
Actress Katherine Heigl says her adopted daughter Naleigh initially rejected her which left her feeling like a bad mother. The former Grey’s Anatomy star, who adopted Naleigh, 4, from South Korea in 2009 with husband Josh Kelley, said it made her upset when the little one didn’t respond to the affection she lavished on her, a magazine reported online.

Retro Cafe in tropical rain forest Moment in Time
A prose writer Baltasar Gracian understood the value of time and passed on to us when he said — ‘all that really belongs to us is time, in fact those who have nothing, have it.’ Somewhere some good number of students from INIFD, Sector-8, actually read the quote somewhere and went ahead to experiment with the most precious, ever-changing word - ‘time’.

Doc Talk
Fresh approach 
Halitosis or bad breath can often cause embarrassment but most importantly it is an early sign of various bacterial manifestations in the oral cavity. Bad breath can also be due to various other factors such as constipation, liver disease and diabetes, but the most common causes in the oral cavity are gum diseases, lack of hydration, low salivary pH, eating pungent foods (onions/garlic), and excessive oral bacteria.

Road Rage
Head on
Cutting through the roads on a motorbike with a razor-sharp speed, maneuvering the handle at naughty angles, a trick here and there, each one of us have done our share of stunts with the machine. It was fun then and thinking about it might even bring a broad grin on your face, but riding like this not safe. Saying this will not end the matter here, because someone out there will be spinning the bike around. Safety is something we can stress on, and wearing helmets is the earliest measure that comes to our mind.
