Dazzle the desi way
With the advent of the winter, it's only fair that the hemlines and sleeves get longer and allow the dark warm colours melt the cold rather fashionably! Often, as one romances with the idea of the winter, the mention of woollens and big boots is the first that fits the idea of style. Considering that we have almost worshiped the warm leggings and that cosy muffler around our neck, the trend, this season calls for making a rather bold statement with the traditional Indian look. Here's your style guide to experimenting with the desi avatar!

Let the design speak
No amount of nudging or rephrasing the question will fetch you the desired answers. Designer Shehla Khan will not pick and choose from the current crop of B-town actresses, most of whom she's dressed by now.
Who is it that she loves to dress up the most from the entire lot? Are there any all time favourites? Anybody who she feels does justice to her clothes more than others? Oops…like we said, there is no getting those one or two names out of the lot.

Money minded!
She had everything going for her — a good job with a fat salary at Goldman Sachs and also a neat lifestyle till she decided to do a joint venture with her husband, something different!

Veggies — the kids’ way
Parenting can be great fun for all mothers, but what can be really frustrating is when the kids just refuse to eat, and that too vegetables or fruits. All mothers would unanimously agree with this fact of child-raising. There seems to be a constant struggle between them over a plate full of veggies or fruits.
GET PHYSICAL
Make the most of winter
No matter what time of year it is, exercising helps to keep the body in shape. The heat and humidity in the summer can dry and tire the body faster but cold weather is perfectly suitable for the exercise regime. However, listed below are a few important reasons why it is even more important to exercise during the winter season.

Master Chef
In thick soup!
Winter is knocking on our door and now is the season of yummy soups. It is also time to move beyond the typical tomato or chicken soup and experiment with other ingredients. For the upcoming chilly weather, mushroom soup is the most ideal. Since it is quick to cook, it retains the nutritive value more and is light on the stomach as well.
