Apolitical cut
Earlier this year, an e-commerce site started selling Modi kurtas, cashing upon
the popularity of the Prime Minister designate and his well-starched,
well-stitched pastel-shaded kurtas. Now after he has won the election, Narendra
Modi has become a muse for a fashion designer in Mumbai, who has stitched a
special suit for his swearing-in ceremony.
Conserve, preserve
While nature paid a heavy price for human civilisation, there’s only a little
that it demands back from society. Perhaps, only the residual concern of
humanity that lurks for meaning in the Gandhian philosophy— what we are doing
to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to
ourselves and to one another.

Go with
the flaw
Cover scars, hide those burns, coat your tattoo, enhance cleavage and conceal
injury mark…There is all the more need for make up on the body, even though it

highlights.

Vir instructed to lose weight

for his next, 1984 which is based on the infamous Sikh riots that happened 30
years ago. Vir plays a Sikh in the film. Vir had to gain little muscle for his
role in Revolver Rani. Since he played an aspiring actor in the film, he had to
bulk up a bit to look the part.
