Black for the bride?
When it is about celebrating the couture segment of fashion, it has to be more than just presenting collections on the ramp. Some drama has to follow and it did ensue-- in terms of sets, live singing as models strutted the ramp and a lot of Page 3 socialites marking their presence on the front row during the first two days of the BMW India Bridal Fashion Week.

The connecting thread
Endless squabbles over things, sharing treats, long summer afternoons spent inventing games or ganging up against the parents when things went out of hand, a brother and a sister share a bond that's one of its kind. Now, if it happens to be an elder brother, add more to it…a protective figure most likely than not checking every move you make!

Spoilt for choice
August is august for a reason. We don't know about the awkward positions of the stars, but we do know it's the one month when women are bestowed with a legitimate channel to rake in some much-awaited moolah.

PUNJABI TADKA
Meaning in words
If he had a choice, which he exercises one time too many, he would stay in the real world. A world not flanked by flashy cars, two or three hi-end smart phones and pseudo fans. Punjabi singer Prabh Gill accepts everything with humility, be it fame, adulation or star status.

The foodies
Let the taste get to you…
There's a lot of hyperbole surrounding the concept of soul and this or that experience moving it or touching it or satiating it! But, how do you know, in that quaint moment of silence, that you have been moved; that something inside has been enlightened; that your perspective towards life is going to be a tad different here on?

Master Chef
Aam baat!
The time has come when we prepare to say goodbye to the 'King of Fruits'. At this point, I'm inclined to go into hog-mode, tucking into mangoes like there was no tomorrow! This is also the time when I freeze puree and make chutney and pickle. I often do a batch of homemade 'Aam papad' too.
