Beyond beauty
"'You don't look good. Cover your face!' I had to change that. I had to make the world not identify their face with sadness."
Rahul Saharan, a 24-year-old freelance photographer from Delhi, has been working with the NGO, Chaaon, for the past two-and-half years, but says his moment of reckoning came only on the fourth of August this year. The freelance fashion photographer conducted a photo shoot for five acid attack victims—Rupa, Ritu, Sonam, Laxmi and Chanchal—giving these girls a brand new shot at confidence.

Drills to improve putting
Putting is a part of the game where the mind plays a huge role. The brain has two sides - the left which deals with logic, sequential thinking etc and the right side, which creates intuition, imagination, orientation in space and feel. The right side of the brain has a more important role in both short game and putting. Drills help in improving the performance of the right side of the brain. Practice can be divided into two methods - block and random. Block practice is putting a lot of balls in one place and making the same shot or putt. This is required when one is changing one's stroke or swing. Random practice is not hitting consecutive balls to the same target. Random practice is very important in putting. This is because every putt requires visualization before the stroke, which random practice creates.
GET PHYSICAL
Chisel your look
Everyone wants to look lean and have a perfectly shaped body. Little fat in the face or neck can also make one look fat. Therefore, a visible collarbone can craft to the attractive look. Excess fat in the neck is generally associated with excess fat throughout the rest of the body. In order to get rid of this fat, overall body fat reduction is a must. Besides wearing deep neck tops, one can also hide face fat by working on the collar bone. Here are some cardiovascular exercises and strength training exercises that target the muscles that sit above the collarbone.

Pestering issue
Why to discuss insects now at this time when the plants are putting forth new growth and getting a new lease of life? Well, this is the time for insects too to be active as feeders and breeders as plenty of food is around. It is nature. Be very vigilant and take proper measures to keep them at bay lest they should feed on your plants and you lose not only a season, but fruits of your
hardwork.
