Classic thought
Having combined education with music, educationist Gursharan Singh is looking forward to the musical adaptation of
Kim
A sitarist being fine with the idea of youngsters taking to the guitar, aspiring to become rock-stars or following Western music is rare. Surprisingly, thirty years of experience as an educationist weighs heavier on Gursharan Singh than 55 years of being a
sitarist! For him learning is important, the subjects can vary. Gursharan Singh, a
sitarist, and as he introduces himself, "More importantly an educationist," doesn't mind students trying to internationalise their art. He then happily indulges in some introspection.

What a start!
Grilled, barbecued, baked, non-greasy, easy-to-share portions and a lot of variety; starters are no longer the introduction to the main course, but have off-late become an avid competitor to the main course dishes. There are no prizes for guessing that the first course is slowly becoming the main course!

ARIES: Check newspaper and Internet to know what is happening in your area. You win over an enemy. Family life is charged with tension. A health crisis might strike. Tarot message: Follow the path that you think is right.
Don’t follow others.
The year ahead
If your birthday is December 5...
Everything goes well if you avoid a project that threatens to cost you dearly. Be careful to wait for the proper moment to make that irreversible decision. Patience and consideration are better than rashness.
You've been having a great time, but you have to fulfill your responsibilities for others. Put your focus back on work. If you're dealing with a difficult project, keep pushing yourself to perfect it. You'll make some mistakes along the way, but these can always be fixed. Part of the problem is that this situation reminds you of a painful occurrence from the past.
Chatter box
Family ties
Star World’s new show Packed to the Rafters starts December 4 and is about a family. Happily married couple, Julie and Dave Rafter are over the moon when Ben, their last child, finally decides to leave home. After raising three kids, the couple is free! It's a chance for them to do what they want, when they want and on their own terms. However, less than 48 hours after Ben moves next door, all dreams of freedom come to an end when their three kids realise that being with their parents is a lot more comfortable than being out on their own, which causes them all to come flocking back.
Second innings
Indian actresses are beautiful, talented (some of them), and they have it all. Yet, when it comes to marriage, not all have been very lucky and their husbands have been married before in some cases. We take a look at actresses who are not the first wives of their husbands. They hate playing the second wife in movies but have no qualms doing so in real life.

Boney. Sridevi was Mona's friend and Mona gave her a place to stay but she stole her husband in the bargain. Sridevi and Boney tied the knot later.

I am a 27-year-old working woman. I think I am falling for my boss. My fellow colleagues are discouraging me to say anything to him. Do you think this is unreasonable? — Simran, Mohali
