2014
Resolute enough?
On the first day of 2014, it's time once again to make some resolutions. Here's checking out with some celebrities from the region…
This is a matter of pure courage, of strength, of rock solid determination; this is a matter of honouring your words.
This is what one might view a resolution as — a ladder that determines your safe and happy passage to the next year. Is it so or it is just a word coined to make us feel better, for us to believe that all isn't lost and there is still hope?

New Year, New Look
With the arrival of the New Year, let's see what the industry insiders have to say about interior design trends for 2014.
Colour palette
Many would welcome a shot of colour with open arms. It's a real attitude changer as bold rich tones replace softer hues. Try sparingly at first, and then see if you want more. The colour to watch out for is yellow. Too strong and it can be blinding, too light and yellow's zing is lost.
Clubbing for a reason
The Cubs Club organized a unique sale to raise funds and help children from economically weaker sections and pursue their academic careers in higher classes. As part of this endeavour, a 'bake sale' was held at Elante Mall. At this sale homemade bakery items, all of which were made by moms who are members of Cubs Club, were put on sale.
