A trail worth following
Everything is possible only if one has the intention to achieve...is the motto that RK Garg, chairman, Asia Resorts Limited, has lived his life by. Having received awards such as Himachal Ratna and Udyog Ratan, Garg started with a small grocery shop in a hamlet Sarahan, district Sirmaur, Himachal Pradesh. Not seeing any future there, he moved on to timber trade and then to his dream — Timber Trail, which he built just by the dint of his hardwork and determination.

Soul to soul communion
Making a conscious and clear-cut departure from his well known panda series that mocked at religious hypocrisy, Viney Vadhera is currently occupied with romanticism. As his canvases speak in the new language of beauty and love, Vadhera puts in a disclaimer. This isn’t about eroticism. In man woman union he can sense the ultimate feeling of purity, of oneness with each other and hence with the supreme power. No wonder the paintings of his latest series are iridescent and luminous with a joy borne out of peace.
Wardrobe malfunction!
Morning: get ready; reach out to your wardrobe. Evening: get fresh; reach out to your wardrobe. Party time: want to look the best, reach out to your wardrobe. The ultimate destination is always one’s wardrobe. But does one find just the right thing to wear in one go? And is one’s wardrobe sorted enough to accommodate anything bought new?

Feline charm
The cuddly ball of furs comes with terms and conditions, catwalks with a certain arrogance and be ready to be brushed aside or snubbed aside. That’s cats as pets for you. Even the legendary tomcat from the Tom & Jerry has a tough time with all the female cats. Tom either sings or woos them in a French-accented voice. “With dogs, you show them a little love, or give them something to eat and they are all yours, while it takes a lot of time to woo cats,” shares Rahat Mall, a psychology student at DAV-10, of her experience from the two feline creatures that she pets, called Patchy and Pooky. “Both the names just came about spontaneously. They were both born to Smokey and looked very similar, so much so, it was difficult to make out who was who. Later on, one developed fine patches and that’s when we named her Patchy while the other one Pooky.” And that’s the story of two sisters.

For that killer smile
Hollywood star Julia Roberts recently made headlines when she said that since childhood she has been brushing her teeth with baking soda–a habit she picked up from her grandfather. Roberts certainly has a killer smile, and her claim would make many wonder whether they should head for the kitchen cabinet for sparkling whites. However, the home remedies or village traditions may not really be the right solution for a bright, white smile. Here are some common mistakes people make.

I am a 34-year-old married man. I have moved to an all-woman team recently. I feel awkward interacting with them. Do you think I need to be measured
in my interactions?
Writing his own script
This is a case of role reversal and for once, it isn’t an easy one. Frantic calls to fix up an interview, long wait outside the vanity van, tracking, tracing, re-checking the Dictaphone…actor Jackie Shroff gets a real taste of a journalist’s life in his upcoming movie Cover Story. An adaptation of Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh’s film, The Interview, the film also stars Anjum
Nayar.
