Eat & reveal
Do you eat one dish at a time savouring the distinct flavour or mix everything together before you take the first bite? Well, what you eat and how you eat says a lot about you! There have been numerable studies on the subject and number of categorisations. According a study by Chicago-based neurologist Dr Alan Hirsch those who love vanilla when it comes to ice-creams 'aim high, stay busy and accomplish things', strawberry lovers are 'logical, loyal and supportive'; while those who go for chocolate chip are 'competitive and generous'.

In between the lines
He comfortably slips into the irony of looking back when you've come really far in life. With his third book, author Ravinder Singh evokes some of the eternal memories of childhood Like It Happened Yesterday and alongside graduates on to the queries of what next in life. It's a recollection of days when the flip of a coin would take care of the most solemn issues, when the rains were welcomed by paper boats, when railway crossing meant counting the bogies of the train…

On a happy note
Music is a celebration; it has to be enjoyed, which also means it cannot be limited to any competition. "If you compete then you are limiting your talent to your competitor," shares one of Bollywood's leading singers, Sukhwinder Singh. There are no rules that he needs to adhere to, no secret formula to success —one thing that precedes everything else in life for Sukhwinder is happiness, the one that comes from within. As the singer shares his experiences on a TV show Sureeli Baat by a news channel, he unfurls how he never was or will be a part of any competition.

Cost cutting
With the cost of living rising, the cost of growing plants too is increasing. That has become the main cause of worry for plant lovers. The cost of saplings has escalated in the last one year. It is very discouraging for gardeners. When we talk about amateurs, we are dealing with a class of gardeners who have just taken up gardening as a hobby but are totally dependent upon help. For that class of gardeners, even making a cutting is something new.

Hot offerings
In the anticipation of the advent of autumn, which is just a couple of months away, Ten Towns, a city-based restaurant, has spiced up the monsoon with a whole new range of feisty bites by organising a fortnight-long Turkish and Greek food festival.
