Punjabi
by design
Harinder Singh and Kirandeep Kaur's brainchild 1469,
a brand that stands for Punjabi faith, language and humour, aims at
connecting Punjabi youth to their culture
 The
brand 1469 stemmed from an unpleasant experience which Harjinder Singh, founder
of the brand, also terms as life-changing. Had he not been mistaken for one of
the Bin Laden clan, he wouldn't have thought of taking his heritage and culture
to the world. Today, seven years down the line, 1469 stands for everything
Punjabi--language, faith, art, humour and objects. Likewise, the merchandise
under the brand name comprises much that promotes Punjabi culture and appeals to
the youth.

Haani
, though Anuj Sachdeva graduated from being a model to an actor, the art of telling a story in just a few seconds through ads still fascinates him
One step at a time, no rush, no hurry! For model-turned actor Anuj Sachdeva life is not to be wasted in a rush. He lives each day in complete awareness. And from this awareness stems his decisions, subtle yet firm.
The actor, who made his debut in Punjabi film industry with Haani, plans to stick around to do more films. Haani is his one odd stint, but the good looking actor has much on his sleeves and heart!

If you thought stickers were a kid's play, then think again! A lot many grown ups are playing with the new 3-D stickers these days that stick out from the wall and seemingly have a depth. Available in various shapes and themes, these stickers look elegant. Depending on the theme, these can be used anywhere, kitchen or study or for decorative purposes.

The year ahead
If your birthday is September 10...
Discuss topics connected with bureaucracy, important financial matters, and your long-term goals. Listen carefully to what is said on the subject. If you need to concentrate on some important paperwork, you will get on with it much better if you can do it in private and away from any distractions. Travel for work is on the cards. Better planning will be required in achieving financial prosperity. Personal matters may suffer due to confrontation between partners. As problems arise, you will be forced to use your own imagination. The year, 2014 will open up some lucrative opportunities with attractive financial possibilities. If you are planning to buy a studio or premises of your own, it will now be easier to arrange for a loan, which can supplement your savings.

The art of putting
Putting is probably the most important aspect of the game and also the most variable. The number of putts a player can take on each round could vary a lot. This is due to the complexity of the greens and their imperfect nature as well as the fact that a small error can lead to a missed putt. At 10 feet a one degree error of the putter face would lead to a putt missing the hole.
