Animal instinct
The yuppie-influenced sub-culture during the mid 80s has for long been chronicled as an assertive cult that largely dominated the fashion of that era. You could probably have smoked a cigarette on your office desk, but had you been spotted wearing a leopard-print, your disposition would have been stamped with rather outrageous tags. Considering how things change, smoking these days is socially unacceptable while animal prints are quite a fad among the masses! But when it comes to donning animal prints, one has to be rather particular about how to carry them.
A slice from real life
Getting under the skin of the character and living it each day till it actually seeps into the system…only an actor can explain this feeling better. The challenge increases manifold when a character is inspired by a real-life incident. Actor Rekha Rana lives the ordeal,
the pain and the joy of a character in her upcoming movie Tara — the journey of love and passion.

In between notes
It's a switch between handling the immigration procedures at Geneva Airport and shooting for the video in the middle of Punjab. It's only the formalities of customs that can, perhaps, put together a Punjabi singer and an immigration officer. Sunny Cheema claims to balance the remotely connected fields and how!
GET PHYSICAL
Guessing game
Have you been doing the same exercise routine for weeks, or even months? Whether it's jogging on the treadmill or riding a stationary bike, any exercise routine grows stale with time. Not only does a stale routine zap your enthusiasm, but it leads to the dreaded exercise plateau.
CELEB POINT
Rise to the occasion
You feel it happens to others, you feel you see it in movies…I was in Thailand when I heard about what happened in Uttarakhand. The first reaction was of sheer disbelief. It can't happen because you feel life just has to go on normally. We plan our lives, 'Ok, I will see you tomorrow or let's work on it in a week's time but has anyone been sure of that tomorrow coming?

Oats couture!
The weather is one muggy, soppy, humid mess, and I'm still being pretty polite about this, dear readers!
We love those pakoras and halwas while the rain gods are being kind, but when they retreat and push the sun god forward, we are pickled in our own sweat. That's a great time to look for recipes like this one--light, nourishing, easy to cook and lip-smacking good! Idlis made with oats pack a wholesome punch. Add grated carrots and you've doubled their goodness. Add a sharp, tangy chutney, you will even have a fussy kid reaching out for a second helping.
TRENDSETTER
Wear your attitude
Trends may come and go and you may follow them or not is a separate issue but if you warrant a second glance, you are in the league of trendsetters. Atam Jain, an MBA student, gives the thumbs up to suitability and attitude.

No comment brigade
Sonakshi Sinha: She has worked with the biggest heroes in the industry and her name has never been linked with any of them. Her mother accompanies her all the time and it seems her successful professional life has left her with little time for a romantic life.

Ekta down, not out
The charming beauty Ekta Kaul, who won several hearts with her innocence and grace, has bid adieu to celebrity dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhlaa Jaa on Colors. The actor, who had also suffered a shoulder injury, found herself in the bottom two alongside Aarti Chabbaria.

ARIES: Love, celebration and romance are on the cards. You will be able to accomplish many things today. Working out a new schedule will be useful. You are generous in family and personal relationships.
