A political script
In a split-screen between a politician and a celebrity-turned-politician, the latter is perceived to have it all easy, on the platter. Some public appearances, a few emotional speeches garnished with apt anecdotes, references to their art form…and a vote-bank is generated. But how many votes are converted on the D-day is the actual litmus test because had it been that simple, Amitabh Bachcan would have never called it quits, Govinda would have been a popular MP, Dharmendra would have been around!

War & women
War has many facets, each strung together with anguish, heartbreak, pain and suffering. Although the emotions would be the same, the stories are different and when it is women we are looking at, they are even more poignant. As we know, war has its own impact on women, even though they are not out there on the battlefield.

A mirror to reality
Vijay Saudai's debut novel is out. Called Dalit, it's a story that starts from an unprivileged colony and ends at Chief Minister's House! A contractor by profession, Vijay has been fond of reading and writing. He wrote two books earlier too but failed to get them published. Fond of writing on society's ills, Vijay's novel Dalit focuses on the corrupt political system and how it has ruined our society. "Why we are not doing well as a society is largely due to political system which isn't working fine. My book has Anna Hazare kind of movement though I wrote much before that happened," says Vijay, who took two years to pen the book. He has drawn inspiration from real life incidents to write this novel.

Weight watch
Make the 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?

Playing host
While actresses on television seem to have plenty of work, male actors don't do much, which is why there's a trend of popular male television stars juggling multiple shows — mostly as the host. We take a look at some of them.
