Doomsday masala
Come December 2012 and doomsday talk gathers momentum. December 21 is the day, they say, that will bring a momentous change!
While rumour mills are working overtime, tabloids are full of how to prepare for the approaching calamity; so do various websites (well, there is december212012.com that claims to be the official one). The world might not be ending, but the year 2012 certainly is! What better time to check out what this prediction means to city folks and what figures on their bucket list.
Beauty no bar
There they were twenty nine of them; parading down the hall, with one hand firmly on the waist and their respective saches in place. Women of every size, stature, height, demographics, colour, background, qualification, shape, temperament, perhaps and even age…. Face of The Year —2012 contest, it seems, is devoid of any bias.

Pursuit of dreams

TREND SETTER
Shades of fashion
Many aspects go into the making of a trendsetter but one common denominator is the correct attitude which highlights the inherent style of the individual. Such a stance always gets noticed, dress and apparel notwithstanding. A student of International Business, Abhinav Jain looks for subtle elegance…..
Master Chef
Fire up the grill
The gourmand may go in for a variety of global cuisine but nothing beats our good old traditional food. The succulent tandoori chicken was the hot favourite at the Foodies Barbecue Meet in Ludhiana recently.

Find your way…
Stress comes in various forms from many areas of life and stress relief comes in many forms too. Some people have one favourite way of handling their stress.

In memory of Mercy

the ‘in’ side
Placement theory
A collection can be anything from shells to matchboxes, dolls or genuine antiques, and the flair with which you display your treasures is what will make them even more interesting for others to see. Do not be afraid to use all the vertical space available.
Tabletops can only hold so much without looking cluttered. If you tend to collect smaller antiques, then custom shelving is a great way to showcase your pieces or frame them. A collection of antique keys would look great framed rather than in a shelf.
Women-centric
Being a professor at Kurukshetra University has helped Jaya Daronde understand the life of women in small towns. The same is exactly depicted in her works exhibited at the Art Portfolio, Sector 9. Instead of making paintings on how women are deprived of their social rights, she has given shape to their emotions. “That I feel is a far more important issue. Even in the so-called liberal society, a woman doesn’t feel free enough to express her feelings for a man. She keeps her attraction towards the opposite sex suppressed.”
Find your way…
‘Am I stressed,’ I heard my client mutter under his breath as I saw him walk in through the door of my office. I knew he was reeling under major pressure and could hardly contain himself and I also knew that he was maintaining a semblance of normalcy despite it all.

STAR TRACK
The creative call
Hrithik Roshan works for passion and creativity, not money. He was offered nearly Rs 20 crore by an international cell phone brand for an advert but he turned it down because he was not happy with the creative concept of it. He did not budge. He is a perfectionist.
