Making a statement
If you delve into the history of India, jewellery was never bought as an investment. The sole purpose of spending on it was ornamentation.

Deep focus
Punjabi movie Uccha Dar Babe Nanak Da captured the imagination of Punjabis for a long time and Yaaran Naal Baharan was the movie that set off the renaissance as far as Punjabi movies go.

Olive oil has become the hallmark for pseudo-health freaks. They will gladly glutton plates and plates of aloo puri provided it is fried in olive oil. Little knowing that some olive oils aren't meant for deep frying at all. "Extra virgin olive oil works the best for sprinkling on salads. Virgin olive oil you can use for regular cooking but is a complete no no for frying," says nutritionist
Shreya. It being expensive works as a deterrent for some too and low cost olive oils can't be trusted as they could be combination and methods of extraction might not be that healthy.
