Holi!
Feast your eyes
Colours, music, masti… Holi is here…did we forget food? If you are still raking your brains on what to rustle up for a frenzied get-together, here are city chefs dishing out flavours to be savoured right from your own kitchen table…
Holi affair!
Do we really need a venue for Holi? Get smeared with colours on the roads, get splashed with water on the streets and then hit the theme parks, water bodies, amusement centres…after all, it’s a Holi day.

Tips before playing Holi
Ensure a safe and skin-friendly Holi by using herbal or natural colours like henna or spinach (green), turmeric or marigold flowers (yellow), tomatoes or beetroot or kumkum (red) and tea leaves (brown).
You literally need to soak your body in oil. Apply coconut or any other easily available oil from head to toe. Alternatively, you can also use a cold cream. Coat your nails in transparent nail paint, this way the colour won't stain your nails. Make sure your hair isn't dry, or the colour will penetrate faster and stain them.

ARIES: Make sure you are doing your best. You are in line for a promotion or recognition in the form of an award. Your
interest in overseas affairs is likely to develop.
The year ahead
If your birthday is March 27...
It is not the time to go solo. You'll be feeling open and willing to talk about anything, so why not use this opportunity to have a heart-to-heart? You already have missed a few opportunities to shine. Someone will resent you for taking a strong position in a competitive situation, but you will act wisely. The year marks your courage and willingness to find success.

Holi fever in Vyas family
Holi fever has gripped television shows, but it isn't just all celebration. There's some drama brewing in Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha Season 2. While the Vyas family is all excited to celebrate Holi, Beera (Siddharth Arora) has different plans for them.
In fact, Beera mixes bhang tablets in their thandai (a non-alcoholic drink), which puts the entire Vyas family on a high. Behind this act, Beera has a hidden motive that is unknown so far. Sources say that he does it for Navika
(Jayshree Venketaramanan). He knows how much Navika wants to talk to her Spiderman aka Mohan
(Kunal Karan Kapoor). Therefore, he would want her to do so while she is intoxicated.
The casting ouch!
Directors and producers have always dated actresses and the trend continues even today, no matter how 'professional' and
'organised' Bollywood has become. Let's take a look
Multiple hues
Nine different artists, nine different topics! But what connects them is their passion to translate reality on canvas
When innovation complements the essence of improvisation, it manifests a fold of authenticity to the innumerable dimensions of art and its forms. The week-long Multimedia Art Workshop, organised by the Lalit Kala
Akademi, Garhi, in association with Chandigarh Lalit Kala Akademi at the Government Museum and Art Gallery-10, showcased different art forms through technology while intensifying the dramatic appeal of each art form.

Contemporary touch
The irony about creativity is that it flourishes in adversity and art is perhaps the only creative medium which defines an artist's vision-a perennial source of expression and knowledge. Translating the women's expression of art and empowering their creative talent, Artscapes has organised The All-India Women Artists Contemporary Exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Panjab University. "We received over 1,000 entries from across the country, out of which we have finalised as many as 150 works of arts," says Simrat Sharma while adding, "The idea behind organising this exhibition is to bring the regional artists on a common platform."
Stress buster
Have a good day
We face ups and downs in life and there are 'good days' and there are 'bad days'. Stress builds up within and we don't even realise it. We start reacting to things from a less centered space, and before we know it, we feel overwhelmed by situations which are otherwise manageable. How often do we have good days where everything goes right and you are feeling really happy and joyful? Your good days may be few and far between, but then you can turn your bad days into good days. Everyone has their own idea of a ''good day''. Of course there is a universal concept of what is a good day, where certain elements that are universally enjoyed create a level of peace and happiness. There are some specific strategies which we can use to turn our bad days into good days.
