Fashion, fiesta and forecast
If we have Delhi loyalists Anju Modi and Rajesh Pratap Singh all set to open their account at Lakme Fashion Week, we have the very Mumbaikar Mandira Bedi beginning her journey in the world of fashion this season and then there is Mawi celebrating her homecoming with her show in collaboration with Gaurav Gupta. The Lakme Fashion Week Summer Resort is expected to be a beautiful and an interesting motley of colours, cuts and themes But more importantly of fashion designers— established, considerably new and those who are availing the opportunity to introduce themselves in the fashion industry.

Straight cut
Apparently affable, seemingly honest, strangely quiet, childishly naughty… Punjabi singer-actor Jassi Gill oscillates between strikingly opposite attributes. Intrinsically, however, he is a desi at heart. Even though, he has graduated to being Mr 420, nothing much has changed for him. He would still miss the much required sleep for a game of football with his closest friend Babbal Rai. And for sure he could take a bullet for his friend.
Support system
The Delhi rape case of 2012 changed a lot of things about Indian society. It made people raise their voice against sexual discrimination, sexual and verbal abuse and all crimes against women. It even changed a thing or two about the television industry, especially the content of the crime shows. From featuring helpless victims, the shows now focus on people who fight back to get justice.

seekers, others are all set to introduce brunches in their spaces…

Stress marks
Skin being a mirror of the internal body system is also an organ of emotional expression and a site for discharge of anxiety. Thus it can give vital clues to help recognise the signs of stress.
Bold strokes
It is rare when art objectifies the subject and compliments it with sheer audacity that translates into an intense expression, which creates an impact on the soul of the viewer. At

CELEB POINT
Sakhi’s day out
I am back in Mumbai. And it sure had to be a family day. My brother Rahul had told me about the dog fair happening near the Gateway of India.
We had never taken our pet Sakhi to a dog fair. It sure became a family picnic, my mother, brother, sister- in-law and me got Sakhi ready for her day out. Dressed in a beautiful formal frock and a clip to match, she was all set to walk the ramp.
