On a high pitch
The kings are back in their territory and raring to go. A day before the Indian Premier League match at Mohali, King's XI Punjab players David Miller, Cheteshwar Pujara and Manan Vohra are relaxed as they interact with their enthusiastic fans…
We unnecessarily undermine ourselves, only to be reminded by a jail warden like security personnel that we can be a real threat…this time to the Kings XI Punjab team cricketers! So we are ordered to leave, as he shouts, "Get out." As we jostle to interview David Miller, Cheteshwar Pujara and Manan
Vohra. Journalists don't take it kindly and a bit of aggression sets things in order, interviews are arranged, pictures are clicked and the jail warden…oops the security personnel…goes into hiding. Meanwhile, cricketers share interesting tidbits about their life off the field.

The show begins…
Famous wedding planner Rahul S announces its launch in Chandigarh with a live show by renowned mentalist and entertainer Lior Suchard
Like the venom, that holds the secret to its antidote, the answer to every question lies in the very existence of that question. With the Chandigarh folks fuming over the city's inadequacy to offer any entertainment, except the gang wars over issues like "why did you stare at me like that" outside some fancy club, there emerged a need for constructive entertainment and drama, which can be enjoyed with family.

While gardening one should follow ones instinct and scientific guidelines
We apprised you with some of the fads and myths that fail a gardener. Gardening is one subject that is very easy and a gardener has to follow instincts and learning acumen to be successful.
The gardeners, the malis are mostly uneducated in gardening and follow whatever they have learnt from their elders. You have to employ them as you don't have any other option.
Get physical
Run towards health
Sprint training is challenging. Better heart and lung health, improved metabolism, improved stamina and the ideal body composition are just a few of the reasons to practice sprint training. A 10-mile jog or a walk on super inclined treadmill or in a neighborhood garden may not help to attain fit, strong and athletic body which sprint training might help to achieve. Short and fast bursts of running have been proven to be more effective than hour-long jogs. Here are few tips on how to improve sprinting technique.
Good posture is important for all runners, especially sprinters
Fit ‘n’ fine
In Ludhiana, model-actress Mahek Chahal, who traces her roots to Punjab, says one should make a stepping stone of each stumbling block in life
Her perfect waistline and high cheek bones more than convey that she follows a strict exercise regimen; model-turned actress Mahek Chahal sure loves to work-out. Each day is different for her, with kickboxing, swimming, running and yoga being a part of her rigorous schedule. In Ludhiana on Monday, Mahek is every bit enchanting and intriguing at the same time.

CELEB POINT
Making peace with past
Ever since I lost my dad when I was a child, I have lived with a fear all my life. I have this fear of losing people I get attached to. It has its plus and minuses though. Plus is that I cherish each moment I spent with anyone—friends, family or relationships. Absorbing each moment. And I genuinely care for everyone because I do get attached very soon. Even to a moment! A situation would affect me much more than it would a normal person.

Back with a bang
It's good news for all the fans of the gorgeous Aaskha Garodia aka Dheer Bai Bhatiyani, as she will re-enter Sony TV's historical saga Bharat Ka Veer Putra — Maharana Pratap. Aaskha will be back after a gap of almost three months. Udai Singh had punished Dheerbai for unknowingly informing Rao Surtan about his Army's plans. As a punishment she had to live like a widow in prison.
But now the story will be taking a new turn where Udai Singh will be seen regretting his decision and ordering her release. A birdie from the sets informed that Aaskha has already started shooting and will be seen on air in the coming days. We hope to see her back really soon too!
