Up, close & personal
What if you don't want to go to the gym, but the gym walks up to you? Don't be confused, as the trend of hiring personal trainers is slowly picking up…
No pain no gain — a lesson that has been passed on to us from generations, a lesson our folks engraved on our minds when they wouldn't find us working hard enough for our exams. And of course, a lesson that you remind yourself of whenever you slip into your gymming gear! What if someone could mellow this pain a bit?
What if the gains would be the same? If you share the same thought, probably you have viewed the prospects of hiring a personal trainer.
The thought of hitting the gym everyday can make you curl-up in the bed a wee bit longer, but this is where a personal trainer can save you. Here's catching up with some people from the region who have hired personal trainers.

With a smile
Television actor Gunn Kansara, who will be seen playing Chandani in Big Magic's upcoming show Naadaniyan, says comedy is a tougher genre as compared to others…
After working for a few years in the television industry, actors get used to slogging for fourteen hours a day. They crib about the unrealistic shoot schedules but then how many of them quit television for easier jobs? Isn't fame really addictive? At the most, actors will hop shows or shift to reality show genre but quitting doesn't feature in the scheme of things.

Plum share
It's time to plant saplings of deciduous fruit trees like peach, plum, pear, grapes and mulberry
 In
the previous column we had discussed about the fruit trees that can be planted
in home garden. We will talk about various fruit trees but since this is winter
time and this is the only time when deciduous fruit trees can be planted, let us
talk about these first. The deciduous plants like peach, plum, pear, grapes, mulberry, fig etc are some of the fruit trees that shed leaves during the winter. This is the time when such tree samplings are planted. For the rest of the year, they are in active stage of growth. But probably you thought growing such plants, except for mulberry and fig, was the only privilege of those living in hills. It was, till a few years back. But such cultivars were found that had low chilling requirement and suited for growing in the plains of Punjab, Haryana and lower hills of Himachal Pradesh.

Lock the moisture
Since the cold weather tends to dry your hair, it takes a special effort to keep your hair healthy in winter
The winter brings along cold and fog as well as dry and luster-less hair too. Hair is an important part of who we are and how we are perceived by others. Winter is the time to change your hair-care routine.
The cold winter robs the hair of its bounce often leaving it limp and lifeless. The scalp constantly flakes, leading to itching, scratching and aggravated hair loss.

behaviour.

How was it working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali?
Sanjay sir is not a very easy director to work with. He is extremely strict as far as performance is concerned. Whatever you see me doing in the film is what he has extracted out of me. He literally held me by my finger and led me throughout the film.
