Spiced up
over a slice of a thin crust pizza and one of Tomoto Bruschetta, the subject of conversation can’t be more appropriate than what makes Italian cuisine world famous, more so when the other party is a celebrated Italian chef Bill
Marchetti. So what makes the pasta score over the Indian curry chicken?
DISH DASH: Bill Marchetti.

Cutting edge
Conformity is practical, but creators of clothes have to think out-of-the-box each time. Although the trends for fall season are out, we already see Gothic, chic baroque, romantic, floral, comfortable knits and oriental fashion influences for winter! However, what we cannot afford to miss is the silhouettes, which are going to spell style this season.
Asymmetry is in, so is the variation in length (that goes from short to very long), but the most significant influence on fashion this season is the boxy silhouette; wider shoulders, thicker sleeves and waist parallel to shoulders instead of being tucked-in. Having been featured in important labels like Stella McCartney,
Givenchy, Ralph Lauren, Antonio Marras and Prada, ‘boxy’, though not one of the most flattering shapes, is a good way to illustrate that there’s more than one way to look good.
Fast love
Here comes the time of the year when women, decked up to their best, endlessly wait for the moon to appear so that they can break their fast. Only, some husbands wait as eagerly as their wives!
We talk to some couples who have been keeping the Karva Chauth fast for years together, making it a day of undying declaration of love.
When architect Sangeet Sharma thought of fasting with his wife Purnima, in the first year of their wedding 24 years back, it was not received well.
Lasting ties
Break up, hook up, patch up…. to be described, relationships do not need fancy words. They can be summed up in just about two or three words. Either you are in a relationship or out of it!
On the other side, in a bustling city, women queue up at a hi-end saloon, waiting eagerly to be dressed.

Plan(t) ahead
Today let us discuss various gardening operations to be carried out in the ensuing fortnight. This is the most important time and the following operations should be carried out if you want to enjoy the best of your garden. The time to transplant winter annual seedlings is approaching fast.
An arty affair
What binds the big and small names is each artist’s affair with the canvas. When a group of painters, sculptors, printmakers and applied artists get together to showcase the best of their works, it’s a mixed show in ways more than one. Some stand out, others stand apart while the rest just fit in. The group exhibition organised by The Creators showcases 72 artworks, including 18 sculptures by 10 artists.

Spontaneous take
For the next film that Anurag Kashyap is all set to direct, he has selected a
new work-method. No actor has been given a script. Instead they’ve all been
given a brief outline for their characters. Ronit Roy plays a Bengali
teetotaller while Tejaswini Kolhapure plays his alcoholic wife. In fact, the two
lead actors were unaware that they’re working with each other.
