Festive cut
Fuschia, Anarkalis, neons; might be on their way out. Or wait, maybe they already are.
Here's coming back to the historical cycle where trends have left for good, and those left behind high and dry. But festivals need not be about fads; only the cheerful spirit and happy wardrobes. Shares Ritu Kumar, "The most appropriate way of dressing up for an Indian festival would be pulling out a really good dupatta or an antique saree and teaming it up with a stunning blouse." Or else, she adds, "One can also go for kurtas or can give our tops a real modern look by investing in a corset and teaming it up with anything classic that you might have."
R(a)iders on the storm
No matter how philosophically you try to put it, we know a winner is someone who finishes first! No matter how fast you ran, you will not be counted as a winner if you don't finish. Standing tall at the finishing line are two fairly young boys (they say age has nothing to do with eccentricities of mind) - Amartej Buwal (winner in the Xtreme category) and Jagmeet Gill (winner of the overall adventure category) of the 16th Maruti Suzuki Raid De Himalaya. So, like they say these are the two men who went ahead, an extra mile with extra speed and extra precision because they couldn't have settled with anyone lesser than that.

 Par Excellence
Add distance to your Driver
To tee shot is an important shot as it first puts you into a good position for the next shot if you find the fairway and makes the next shot shorter, and therefore easier if it is longer. The day we 'drive' it better - which means both length and accuracy - we tend to score better.
Go-getter
Sky is the limit
While in conversation with Kudrat Dutta Chaudhary, one is repeatedly reminded of a dialogue from the film 3 Idiots, which elaborates on the significance of excellence over success. Presently pursuing a degree in Law at the Army Institute of Law, Mohali, Kudrat scored a 9.6 CGPA in Class 10 at Sacred Heart School, Chandigarh, and studied Humanities at Vivek High School, thereby breaking the stereotype that Arts is meant only for fools! "I scored really well in Class 10 and the reason why I took to humanities was because I always wanted to be a lawyer," she says.
Grab a healthy bite
If eating healthy figures on your menu, Chandigarh offers a new address. Aja, which throws its doors open in Sector 11, has it all going for the health-conscious. With no fryer in the unit, you can be certain that no oil seeps into your snacks. And, boy, they offer aplenty!

stress buster
Discover yourself
The question that most often seems to bother people when you ask them generally is — Who are you? People are normally silent for a while, then they get reflective, seem unsure and then give many different and confused answers. Imagine, people actually live their lives without knowing who they are. So it is with stress; it catches us unawares. A lot of times people do not realise that ‘who they are’ is a persona they have acquired due to a combination of a lot of factors.
Doc Talk
Shine through
With the onset of the festival season, a lot of people resort to a variety of skin, hair and beauty treatments and cosmetic procedures in order to improve their looks. However, one needs to be fully aware of the beauty procedures before indulging in them, because sometimes the results can be disastrous, and one may actually invite a host of harmful side effects in the bargain.

When Ali sang for Parineeti
While shooting for their upcoming film, actors Ranveer Singh, Parineeti Chopra, Govinda and Ali Zafar got along extremely well. A source informs, "They would chat around the bonfire, which was put on every night post the pack-up. These sessions used to go on till early morning. Ali used to sing live for them and the rest of the cast would join in. They bonded over old classics, as Ali sang unplugged versions of the songs."
