Calorie count-down
With festivals come calories, but with a little caution one can avoid those extra
pounds...
Shopping, visiting family as well as friends; entertaining guests - this is the busiest time of the year. One has to look after so many things that there is no time to take care of one's own self. But no; you can't let go off the sweat you have put in the year around to get fitter! We catch up with experts on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle this festive season.
Counting challenges, lack of time is one; ubiquitous presence of sweets is another and then one is not in a mood to keep to a strict regime always! Basics first; how you start the day will define most of what happens
subsequently.

The ‘in’ side
Personalised boudoirs for him and her
More and more middle-aged couples are choosing to sleep in separate rooms. Unfortunately, this is generally not talked about but it is very much out there and society needs to accept this for practical reasons.
A snoring partner, tossing and turning, a TV glued partner, repeated visits to the bathroom, snatching covers, flatulence or being drenched in sweat each night is not going to secure a night of sound sleep. These are some of the more common reasons that totally validate the arrangement.
Par Excellence
The right way
As mentioned in the last week's article, data from the Trackman is giving lots of more information regarding impact and the effect of the angle of approach, path and position of the club face. One can achieve a perfectly straight shot in different ways - the first would be to have a square club face and a path which is straight down the target line or to build some compensation.
When the ball is struck on the downswing or with a steep angle of approach with an iron the face would be slightly open as the club squares up at the bottom of its arc. This causes the ball to go to the right (for right handed golfers).

Devdas. She played a courtesan as Chandramukhi in the 2002, her dance in the song Maar Dala became hugely popular that year.
Meet RGV's new heroine
Debutant Anaika Soti is all set to foray into Bollywood with Ram Gopal Varma’s upcoming Satya 2. She has also signed a sign down South. She talks about her role and more.
Character call: I play the female lead. My character is a village girl of my own age, 19. When she comes to the city, she is innocent and childlike. She is the only one who can bring a smile to Satya’s face. Satya leads a dual life—a gangster and a common man—and I do the same.
