Signature date
This year, there is an astrological significance for Valentine’s Day which falls on February 14. Abundant goddess energy will be available this day .Relationships are created by the goddess and they are fundamental to human happiness, success and serenity. Vasant Panchmi is also coinciding when the 5th Moon day commences at 8.20 am and the Sun in Aquarius makes the event exceptionally important for Saraswati, the goddess of education. The star on this day will be Revati which is governed by Mercury, the planet of knowledge. Venus, the planet that rules art, music and culture is placed in the auspicious position along with Jupiter, the planet known for knowledge and education.

Short game: Maintain the level of your body while turning
Topped or duffed shots are fairly frequent when the lies get tight or bare. Most golf courses have bare or tight lies through the winter months especially around the green as these areas have the maximum usage. Hitting a pitch shot from a tight lie is very difficult and a player has to either chip or use a putter from off the green.

Master Chef
Pleased as punch!
Hot cocktails are the perfect prescription for chilly autumn and winter nights. They are synonymous with log fires, a paperback, soft music, revelry and romance. Jump-start a party with a warm bowlful of punch. It will surely leave everybody pleased as punch. Some of the winter drinks are laced with liquors and cream but you can simply spice up a drink with seasonal flavors, like cinnamon, mint, fruit juice, even tea. If they have a splash of alcohol, then just one sip will make you feel merrier. I bring you one drink with alcohol, and one without. Feel free to spike the latter with rum if you please.

The dress code at Grammy
There were no "wardrobe malfunctions" but stars at the 55th Grammy Awards were not covering up either, despite being asked to dress "appropriately." Presenter Jennifer Lopez, wearing a black off-the-shoulder Anthony Vaccarello gown slit up to her thigh on one side, joked about her attire. "As you can see, I read the memo," said the diva who caused a stir a few years ago when she appeared at the Grammys in a Versace gown with a neckline that dropped below her navel. "You inspired the memo!" said her co-presenter Pitbull, getting a big laugh from the audience.
