Classic case
On any given day, most people will pick up comic books and happy endings than tragic works and harrowing literature. Well, generally. Perhaps, some subtle changes in the readers’ preferences could explain the downslide of certain classics. If a recent study is to be believed, literary works by Thomas Hardy, George Eliot and EM Forster have fallen in popularity over the last two decades.
Cold, colour & cut
For a while now, men are an equal contender on fashion front. And when the talks are all about winter dressing, winter 2012-13 in men’s wear is all about striking, eye-catching solid colours, slim fits and minimal lines that accentuate the silhouette rather than hide.
Decoding politics
A five-year stay at the embassy during the days of divided Berlin is no easy matter. But then so is serving as a politician in communist Czechoslovakia and post-communist Slovakia.

Beneath the glitter
This is one profession which is truly of extremes! If it gives you, it’s the status to be worshipped and if you are rejected, you would not be able to hold yourself up. Scary, but that’s the truth. Everyone wants to look like so and so actor, wear their kind of clothes, have that kind of style statement. Nothing wrong with that. But the point is that unlike any other profession, whether you are a professional or a businessman, nothing depends on your looks, except for this profession. Acting or modelling!
