Wall of fame
Most of us feel that graffiti is a boisterous art form pertaining to the rebellious or punk culture. What else could possibly explain the ‘Inqulaab Zindabaad’ sprayed on the campus walls in Rang De Basanti or even Banksy’s popularity for splashing satirical images and messages on the public walls across the UK, making them look like the epitaph of socio-political issues? Well, admittedly, there is no comparison between the quality of graffiti shown in Bollywood films to that of Banksy’s work, but the graffiti scene in India has certainly evolved in the past decades. Influenced by the aesthetics of Indian art and Bollywood, today most cities in India have walls done up with imaginative and colourful murals. So what makes you think that Chandigarh is far behind?

Artists’ voracity for inspiration often leads them to explore several realms of creativity. At an art exhibition titled, Untitled, at Punjab Kala Bhawan, we stand acquainted with Padma Shri Biman Bihari Das.
GET PHYSICAL
Up in arms!
Having a shapely upper body is just as important as having shapely legs. Arm-toning and strengthening is important throughout life. Toning the upper arms is particularly important to women, those who are aspiring for those sexy sleeveless fashions. In other words, the key to looking fabulous is toned arms. Listed below are a few simple arm-toning exercises:-

The path of the putting stroke
The direction the ball travels while putting is primarily influenced by the face of the putter and the point of impact and to a small amount by the path of the putter. The position of the face (open or shut) has the maximum impact on the starting direction of the ball as has the point of contact. If the ball hits the toe of the putter the face opens and the ball starts to the right (for right-handed golfers). If the impact is on the heel, the putter face shuts and the ball starts to the left.
TROUBLE SHOOTER
Be strong under pressure
We have been married for two years. I had to move to a different metro and learn how to be a housewife and manage work at the same time. My husband is very particular about things and interferes in little things such as how much time I spend with my parents and how much time I spend with his. I try to handle both fronts, but he pressurises me. We have stopped going out because we fight constantly and differ on things. I feel a lot of anxiety due to all this.
Get set for Sunday indulgence
Come winters and everyone wants their fair share of sun. Encashing just that is Elante, city’s current favourite destination for dining, entertainment and shopping.
Sunday brunch is bigger and better now with a variety of 16 different eateries to choose from. Mum wouldn’t have anything but chole bhature for Sunday brunch? Worry not, they have Sindhi Sweets on board; kids need to be tempted out of their beds? How about pizza with garlic bread, while you can sit under the sun and enjoy your cuppa with a steaming hot meal at Mocha?

Nutty nourishment
A cartload of roasted peanuts on the roadside is one of the first heralds of the winter season. I impulsively insist that my husband jams brakes so I can step out of the car and buy a bagful of the smoky warm nuts. Honored to be amongst the World’s Healthiest Foods, peanuts offer us a serious nutritional punch. A big ally for a healthy heart, they are also rich in antioxidants, which are a key to cardio protective benefits. Peanut butter is a delicious spread, which can be made at home with very little effort. Blender meets peanuts, that’s it! This way we ensure that there are no preservatives in the spread.
