Ramp & roll
When 125 labels, either powerful or promising, decide to celebrate fashion, it ought to spell fireworks. While each year, many labels make an appearance, only a few make their presence felt. Will the rounds of applause follow the showstoppers or the collections? It's a carnival of fashion, where making business makes the most sense. Starting March 13, Fashion Design Council Of India presents Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week Autumn Winter 2013.
A colourful tapestry
This is not just about creating something different, it is about moving out with the creation to places, newer ones; places which haven't been exposed to this kind of creativity! Jimmy Sheirgill and director Navaniat Singh step up to cross the 'been-there-done-that' territory (Punjab) with their upcoming film
Rangeelay, promoting in territories and markets that are not used to pouring desi ghee in just about every delicacy.

Stay grounded
The set-up for the bunker shot is different to the regular set-up and is similar to that of the flop shot.
We need a base which is grounded and does not slip and a lower hand position to get a higher ball trajectory. When the hands are lower, the angle between the arms and the club shaft increases by cupping the wrists (picture 2). This increases the loft on the club and leads to higher shots.

Light up your room
Lighting is often an overlooked piece of the interior design puzzle. Properly planned lighting can transform a room from dark and drab to bright and beautiful. Gone are the days when lighting was a purely functional decision. With the vast selection of designs available today, lighting has become a key part of the overall design scheme.
Bright side: Light plays an important role in interior decor |

Protect your blooms
Gardeners wait for a long time to see their fruits of labour in the form of blooms. The seasonal flowers, vegetables and above all the fruit trees take a long time to oblige a gardener. And if for one or the other reason, the flowers are lost, the wait for next appearance may take too long, about a year.
There could be many reasons for the premature loss of bloom. The first and the foremost cause is the vagaries of weather.

Rock-solid bond
Women, of all that has been understood about them and of all that still remains ambiguous, are indeed an enigma. For each one is so different and so exquisite that it might require a man to study the patterns of her dynamic and dramatic disposition, while analysing her through a kaleidoscope of eternal empathy, love and devotion. If you want to make her feel special, make sure that you gift her something that is her kind-A diamond!

Out of race

The 27-year-old actress says she is not in a hurry to be on the top. Sonam's recent films Thank You, Mausam and Players did not fare well but the actress believes they helped her understand the kind of roles she wants to do.
Wise talk: Sonam Kapoor
