A knotted affair
If there is one thing among a few others that Navjot Singh Sidhu takes very seriously, it's his dressing up. A part of his style consciousness roots from his being part of the glamour industry and rest from his love affair with fashion. For people, who question the austerity trait of a politician, he rightfully justifies, "Fine feather make fine birds. Only when one feels good, one can work better." So, he picks up suits that has label of Canali sewn at the seams and feels humble in an IWC and Franck Muller watches. The other accessory he is very particular about is his scarves, strictly Hermes.

Take one
Friday jitters is a phenomenon he has watched closely. Interestingly, this is for the first time he will witness it very closely. As Shiv Darshan, son of director, distributor and producer Sunil Darshan makes his debut in the Bollywood film Karle Pyar Karle, he is getting ready to face the Friday. "Even when I was a kid, I would feel jittery when my father or uncle Dharmesh Darshan's film was to be released. This time I am in the dock; Friday, January 10, is going to be my big day, rather big Friday," shares Shiv.

Weight watch
Make most of winter
Winter weight gain has been a common complaint of many people. It seems that every winter we add on a few pounds. But the downside to this is that come summer, we don't lose them all. Obviously with the passage of time this goes on adding up. As few of these pounds stick around, they make us a little heavier every year. What is even worse is that it seems to be very hard to lose these extra winter pounds. Why does this happen and what can we do?

The writer’s den
The Panchukla literature festival brings poets, writers and columnists from various areas together on a podium. One of the most compelling and rather distinct feature of contemporary writers vests in their capacity to deal with fiction and reality. Perhaps that, more often than not, defines their artistic calibre as an author.
