Devour art!
You have seen art in its visual vocabulary. And you have heard of functional art. Now, involve your taste-buds…
yes, you can even eat art…
yes, you can even eat art…
 Connoisseurs argue there is no demarcation in the experience of senses. When it comes to art, the experience is akin to love-making — you can't shut a few senses for the pleasure of the rest. In simple parlance — a thing of beauty offers joy for all the senses.
So, adding a new chapter in the evolution of art that has undergone many transformations; from a simple scroll to canvas, to art merchandise, which has touched almost all aspects of life, a beginning was made in Delhi last week with seven-course art.
Nothing negative about him
Punjabi actor Kartar Cheema, who has already made his debut in Bollywood with Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya, likes to essay negative roles
A while ago, every nook and corner of Punjab would boast of contributing a singer to the industry. Now, the same nook and corners are churning out Punjabi actors, one in a month if not less! But where the boys and girls are trying their hand in Punjabi cinema asking for goodie-goodie roles, Kartar
Cheema, who has already made his debut in Bollywood with Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya, is all for negative roles.
 Success mantra
Perfect cut
Theatre remains Dolly Ahluwalia Tewari’s first love, although glamour and recognition has come her way through telly and films. An actor as well as a famed costume designer, Dolly has made her mark in a field not much known or respected, at least when she started.
It’s sheer grit that led her to international projects and fame. She places much of the credit of her success to the training she received at the National School of Drama.

The year ahead
If your birthday is August 21...
Be careful of what you consume. Avoid roadside food. Not a good year to make investments and go in for speculation. Some changes that you make to your looks might annoy family members. Be careful somebody may flirt with you. Travel will be beneficial but expensive. You might feel slightly run-down mentally and physically, a little rest and nutritious food will go a long way in lifting your energy. Be careful not to get roped into dubious financial deals. You will have trouble in controlling your emotions, but do not nag people around you or you will be left all alone. Use your discretionary power in love today.

Over the top
A swing coming over the top is a commonly used term which is used to describe a 'pulled' shot. An imaginary line drawn from the ball through the shoulders is called the swing plane. If the club on the downswing comes from outside or over this line it is called over the top or an out to in swing. This results in a 'pulled' shot or a ball going straight left for a right handed player.
The two basic reasons for this could be a faulty plane or swinging motion of the arms or a lunging or early turn of the shoulders from the top of the
backswing.
Big bash

Bachchan. Whatever help she requires we would happily do it. Individually we are not hosting any party for him. It is the family’s prerogative,” Khosla said.

Snack on a stick!
Kudos to the guy who created this joyous delight called ice creams. They soothe you inside out in this dreary humid weather. To me any time is ice cream time, be it chocolatey, fruity, nutty or saucy. But who was the devil who discovered calories? This little word spells gloom and doom, every time I'm in the mood for a scoop of chilled heaven. But every problem has a solution, and mine is homemade frozen yogurt-pops. They are deliciously light, low in calories and easy to put together. They are a special 'treat-on-a-stick' for children too, with added health benefits. For this recipe you can use any available crush too, be it strawberry, blueberry, plum or kiwi.
