Grey matter, literally
And we thought it would take us an epoch to make him say more than a few lines. It was just some words we were aiming at. And there, sipping tea, adding a little amount of sugar to the white cup he spoke…clinical psychiatrist, actor and theatre person Mohan Agashe has more words than we had expected, so many that he could address the 4th Panjab University Colloquium lecture on Cinematic Diet For Health, an event that brings him to Chandigarh.

Who minds something new, something different, some masala…well, who minds a treat! Director Navaniat Singh's soon-to-be-released Rangeelay, starring Jimmy Sheirgil, Neha Dhupia and Binnu Dhillon, sure promises a treat! Sitting, chatting, sharing a joke doesn't come easy to the three actors and the director, who were in Chandigarh for film. It comes only after the work is done! Nods Navaniat and the actors who see the movie hit the theatres on May 16. Before that, we don't mind discussing what's on the menu and how special the treat will be.

Short Game
The golf swing is powered by three levers– the body, the arms and the wrists. The biggest lever is the body followed by the arms and the smallest being the wrists. When we hit a full shot all three levers are used to their optimum without losing directional control. Imagine a ship with three engines. If the ship is to move at full speed, all three engines would have to be put on. On the other hand if it had to go slow only one engine would be used.
