Ray of unity
If we have to pick one festival out of the countless that we celebrate in India, Diwali would sure win by the popular vote. The festival of lights has undergone a huge makeover, with significant emphasis on green Diwali. Yet, there is hardly a dip in the fervour with which we gear up for the day. We catch some celebs from tinsel town to take out a moment, some from shopping, others from shooting, to know what makes their Diwali glow.

Decking up for Diwali
As a layer of fashion that elaborates on aesthetics, jewellery is just a little more than an accessory, if only it lends a definition to your disposition. While you flaunt your festive spirit this Diwali, the festival of lights, it is only fair to glitter away and shine on you diamond…and we tell you how exactly to do so!
A Diwali to remember
I'll never forget this; as kids, when we were in Punjab, along with my brother I would be very excited about Diwali shopping with mom. Clothes, lamps, candles, sweets and yes, firecrackers! When we used to come back home with all the booty, my naani would scold us, 'you are wasting money'. But, well, kids are kids; our competition with our neighbour's kids was always on. It was a very serious competition. My mother used to distribute gifts to all the workers in the house and they cherished the kind gesture. Our maid Bhano's son, with his broken-teeth-smile, beamed with happiness whenever he received his gift.
Make no bones about it!
This film has a strong Chandigarh connect; not only is this set in City Beautiful, but also a major part of its cast and crew belongs to the city. Kabab Mein Haddi is a masala entertainer with a social message 'seldom touched but sensitively handled' is all that this film's team reveals on their visit to launch Cleopatra's Beauty Academy & Bridal Lounge in
Mohali.

Retinol peels — a new revolution
Chemical Peels are among the most commonly performed aesthetic procedures by a dermatologist. This is attributed to its simple and affordable procedure, with minimal or no side-effects. Vitamin A is an important component of anti-aging creams. And retinol peels are Vitamin A-derived peels with multiple benefits.
Procedure
The area to be peeled is draped and pre-peel cleansing is performed. Retinol peel is applied all over the skin and massaged into it till it disappears into the skin. A second layer is then added on and massaged as earlier on the treatment areas.
I’d rather be smart than pretty: Huma
The curvy actress is every bit the role model for the anti-size zero campaign she recently spearheaded with enviable self assurance given that her body has often been the subject of national debate. She talks about her appearance and her movies.
Tevar has a realistic tone: Arjun
His next release is Tevar and Arjun Kapoor says that the film may be a remake of Telugu film Okkaddu, but its realistic tone would make it a different watch. Directed by Gunasekhar, Okkaddu had stars like Mahesh Babu and Bhoomika Chawla. —IANS

I love dressing up and buying new clothes. I light up my house. No matter how modern we become, Diwali will always be a big festival. Also I am a big time
foodie, so I tell all the visitors to bring homemade stuff like karangi and shakkar pare to my house.
The year ahead

ARIES: You win over an enemy or adversary. Family life is charged with tension. Financially the first half of the day is rather expensive. Writers will find their work in print.
