Cricket craze, virtually
Glenn Maxwell hits a flurry of sixes and Sidhuisms fly around - 'Madmax is an apt name for this freak', "Breaking News: DNA Report Confirms Glenn Maxwell Ancestor Were From Gujarat" These, however, aren't born and delivered inside the usual commentary box; the self-professed commentators invent them on mobile apps strictly meant to celebrate IPL. There are over 500 such mobile applications accessible and available on Android, i-Phones and Windows operating systems catering to cricket fans. The applications range from IPL-inspired games to information about scores, players, teams to discussion forums where game enthusiasts discuss anything and everything about cricket.
Go with the flow
Passion doesn't believe in placing opportunity costs on anything in life. The fact that he could have spent his crucial years doing anything else doesn't matter. The fact that he spent his crucial years doing what he loves, counts. For Siddharth Sharma of the Delhi- based duo comprising DJ NDS and DJ Blue, a degree in aeronautical engineering has been put on stake and so has been the management course in business administration. A clear case of passion being precious. Rather priceless. "We started our own recording studio six years back. Now during the weekends we are traveling, doing gigs and performing at shows and the weekdays are spent making music," he shares hours before his gig at The Blue Blazer. It's a life he has always wanted to live with a little bit of more music and acknowledgement thrown in.
His own music...
"I am going to take a break, move out of Mumbai for a month to work on my music album," says singer Krishnakumar Kunnath popularly known as KK. It has been just him and music, right since childhood. He has been a loner and completely dedicated to music. So much so that he didn't like the idea of learning to sing in a class. So, he learnt absorbed and inculcated music on his own, where every music record, cassette and CD became his teacher. All were his inspiration, whether it was Kishore Kumar, Billie Joel, Lata Mangeshkar or Michael Jackson…. Even now, he doesn't go to parties, he likes to work alone with his music. It has been this learning from music that defines his journey and rise as a singer.
On the waterfront
A simple addition of a water feature in the garden can change the dynamics of your landscape area. From shallow ponds, pools to fountains, water bodies can enhance the aesthetics of your garden.
Water chemistry
A perfect water body is the one that is in balance. Many organisms like algae, micro-organisms and water-plants grow in water. These in turn support aquatic insects and fish. When all these elements are well-supported by the volume of water, a healthy ecosystem is achieved. Imbalance occurs when too much of one thing is added to an aquatic system.
This beauty is the beast
She effortlessly glides through the undulating surface. Holding her poise, her body following a rhythmic pattern, the beauty maneuvers her way, grabbing the attention of onlookers. Her body glistens under the sunlight, but she is cool! She knows, she has arrived and today she is going to bare it all.

Who nose?
Beautiful nose should have the right size and shape and should be in harmony with the rest of the face. Surgical nose correction (rhinoplasty) has been one of the most popular facial surgeries. However, nose surgery has the limitations of longer healing time and inherent risks like infection, implant extrusion and risk of anaesthesia.

Getting enlightened
Actress Kajal Jain, who plays the role of Yashodhara in BK Modi's show, Budhha, feels that her character has taught her a lot. "Budhha taught me a lot, right from lighting to camera angles. Also, it is very challenging to play the role of princess Yashodhara as one has to really focus and concentrate. Recently, when Siddharth went to search himself in his spiritual trail, even Yashodhara followed that path. She will now be seen wearing saffron clothes and sleeping in the floor."
Scaring the living daylights out of Paresh
In the ongoing track of the show, Chidiya Ghar, the ghost of a gangster, living amongst them as a paying guest will be seen troubling the family members. During the shooting of the ghost sequence, some members of the crew tricked Paresh into believing that a ghost sighting had happened some years back in the nearby area. Paresh did not believe them initially, but when all the crew kept discussing the same thing, it scared Paresh out of his senses. The crew then revealed to him that they had tricked him to get even and all of them had a hearty laugh. "I even told the production team to shoot at daytime instead of night as I was truly frightened. It was funny that I was so easily fooled into believing them," said Paresh Ganatra.
