Spice route to happiness
“Forgive me, for that's the way I am." It's difficult not to fall irrevocably in love with Vikas
Khanna. He knows how to gratify hearts, never mind the age or stature. Not a surprise then that his demeanour is as graceful with women as are his fingers with his Biji's masala box, back home at
Junoon. A slight wince every rare time he sits or rises from a chair doesn't deter that affable smile through the four-hour long activity Smile Foundation and Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) put together at JW Marriott — a lassi making competition between the team’s players.

A canine affair!
As an introduction, Ludhiana-based radiologist Gurneet has only a single line to offer for his five-year-old English bulldog, Rusty, "Only his looks are stern." It was brought into their household by his son
Abhinav, a medical student, but now Rusty is everybody's darling. Gurneet strongly feels that there is nothing known as a 'ferocious breed', as pets will be the way you treat them.

Romance finds a new definition, expressed rather musically in Hrithik and Katrina's up and coming film Bang Bang's romantic number,
Meherbaan. Sung by Ash King and Shilpa Rao, the song starts off with guitar solos in the mainstay and it is an absolute treat to the ears. If you like listening to lovey-dovey numbers, then this romantic rendition won't disappoint you.
