Alexander Mc Queen: Savage Beauty lies in a quiet corner of The Browser, Sector 8; a corner not frequented by most who visit the place because it houses books on fashion.

A beginner’s diary
Almost a month ago, Pooja Bhatt tweeted, “A small town boy from Bokaro
has arrived.” Tweeple started googling the ‘boy’ in question. The results popped up a name — Imran Zahid from Bokaro.

The first part which is the ball starting left is caused by the path of the club being from outside the target line to inside through impact. This results in divots being deep and pointing left. When the club comes from out to in it comes down on a steep path leading to a lot of back spin and loss of distance.
