Riders in the storm
Six Harleys, six riders, one on pillion; the gang lived their passion as they undertook the journey from Chandigarh to Goa and back...
Six bikers get together, don their helmets and share high fives. They then take to the highway with elan; riding a bike, rather a dream - Harley Davidson. Part of Harley Owners Group, Himalayan chapter, these bikers fought the winter chill, fog and everything that the road threw at them to complete the 2,500 km journey to Goa in five days. A dream ride indeed! What a hero's welcome they got; meeting their brothers from different parts of the country for the final leg of the HOG Rally, which has been special for these daredevils. Gurtej Singh Legha spends much of his time at the sea and the moment he sets foot on land, this Merchant Navy guy is raring to go. Gurtej says, "I had stopped riding in 1997. I accompanied a friend to buy a bike and charmed by it, bought the Road King."

In the print
Fredrick Pages writes books on philosophy in which he shares why there have been less women philosophers...
Fredrick Pages does not go direct when it comes to writing; no direct attacks; no bad words, but he twists his story around…scratching not hitting and that is the brand of humour that his century old paper Le Canard Enchaine and its loyal readers subscribe to. In Chandigarh, on the invite of Alliance Française, Fredrick is happy interacting with students. A philosophy teacher, Fredrick moved to journalism and is happy writing philosophy books as well as his satires. A votary of Voltaire, this journalist takes pride in his paper — Le Canard Enchaine that has followed its philosophy of no advertisements to keep them free to put their voice forth.

The year ahead
If your birthday is January 23...
March could be a time when you will have to make a decision concerning a close companion. Be strong, open, and honest and follow through with your responsibilities in the friendship. Your imagination is functioning very well right now. It may be a good idea to put it to use. An accommodative attitude on the domestic front would prove to be of great help for you. Those who have been waiting to settle a score with someone will get an opportunity to do so. Your health might experience many difficulties in March. You are romantically restless, and on the hunt for new kinds of stimulation.

Weight watch
Green gold
Tea is considered the most consumed beverage in the world after water, however, 78 per cent of the tea consumed worldwide is black and only about 20 per cent is green. Adding green tea to a weight loss or detoxification plan may help you lose fat, particularly in your abdomen area. Green tea is considered one of the world's healthiest drinks and contains the highest amount of antioxidants in any tea. Widely been in use in China from the ancient times, green tea is made from the leaves of Camelia sinesis. Most of its health benefits arise from the fact that green tea is made from un-oxidized leaves and is the least processed type of tea; therefore it contains the most antioxidants and beneficial polyphenols, which makes it very rich in antioxidants. A well planned weight loss diet plan when combined with green tea, no doubt, helps to shed off extra kilos.

Vanity box
The eyes have it
There is so much mascara can do; lengthen, curl, add volume, darken, thicken. Along with the power to redefine the lashes and open up the eyes, comes the disastrous results of a faulty application. Think, spider lashes, raccoon eyes, flakes and clumpy finish. There is not so much that needs to be done to get it right as there is to avoid getting it wrong. Sounds Herculean? To begin with, start with what exactly you need. Black mascara opens up the eyes and gives a much fuller effect to the lashes. While transparent or brown mascara could be perfect for day wear, black mascara worn over too light or thin lashes might make the effect too overpowering. Almost always, it's best to invest in waterproof mascara.

CELEB POINT
It’s all part of the game
When Bhaag Milkha Bhaag was released, people from all walks of life called me and said the award was mine for the taking. I felt grateful for everyone's belief in me. In fact, in the Screen Awards I had not one but two nominations — one for Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and the other for Karan Johar's Gippy. Obviously, I was very happy but the jury did not give me the award. Yes, I was disappointed, as each time I am nominated but do not get the trophy home. For the first time ever, I thought the award should have been mine for Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. People around me felt the same and were equally disappointed. That was the soothing factor that people around me were thinking differently from the nine-member jury!
