Iqbal Khan and Shraadha Arya
COUPLE CHEMISTRY: Iqbal Khan and Shraadha Arya

Small screen, big aim
Iqbal Khan and Shraadha Arya, lead stars of the show Tumhari Paakhi, promise a different fare on television. In Chandigarh, they open their hearts out…
From khushi ke aanso to dukh ke aanso to bas aise hi rona aa gaya…the amount of tears that Indian television actresses shed might boost the sales of glycerine producing companies, so when a television actress claims that she hasn't cried in any episode of the show, which is into the third month of its shooting, it's hard to believe! The star cast of the show, Tumhari Paakhi, which hit the TV screens this month, Iqbal Khan and Shraadha Arya, give us a few more examples of how their show, which is based on the novel, Navvidhan by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, is different from the rest. The difference, however, is not very stark.

Coming of age
Talent has nothing to do with age. Neither does achievement! Teenagers Sindhuja Rajamaran and Raghav Sood surely underline the fact that age is not a parameter for success. In Chandigarh to interact with the engineering students at the Chandigarh College of Engineering and Technology, they have loads to share.

Get playful
Your children's room is one of the best places to get creative because there is no limit to your inspiration. One can choose from various themes like sports, jungle, fairy tales etc. If you have young kids then it's worth infusing playfulness into their living spaces now, when they are still young. Involve the kids while deciding the themes and colours. Give them the freedom to show their creativity.

TROUBLE SHOOTER
Learn to say no
I am in my second year of engineering. I am an average student and finding it difficult to concentrate. As I live in a hostel, I am often unable to say no to others and we end up wasting time. I also feel very uncertain about my future as I will have to do MBA or M Tech before I get a job.

CELEB POINT
Pages from life
Yeah it unfolds! Chapter by chapter! This book of life! Sometimes the new pages interest us, sometimes we get confused. And for reference, we turn the pages back again and revisit.

In contrast: (L-R) Bappi Lahiri and Shah Rukh Khan Jewel in the crown
Gold-laden Bappi Lahiri might take an offence to what Shah Rukh Khan recently said about the connection or 'absence of one' between men and jewellery. Recently, at the launch of a jewellery lounge in Mumbai he said, "I don't wear jewellery as I don't feel that men should. I am sorry but everyone has their own taste." The easiest references supporting the fact that jewllery isn't gender-specific can be drawn from 10th and 20th century when kings, to prove their authority, wore more jewellery than queens.

A heady mix
Chilis Bar and Grill held a Margarita mixology and tasting session to unravel the secrets of the world famous Mexican cocktail, Margarita, which came into being in 1938. Chili's in- house mixologist Vishal Kumar has made some of the most enticing Margaritas for connoisseurs. It was shared by experts at the event that Margarita is essentially a Tequila—a Mexican alcoholic beverage which comes in silver and gold colours, based cocktail.
