Glitz & glamour ALL you guys and dolls anxious more about the semi-circles underlining your exhausted eyes, than history of English literature, do not worry. We know examination season is here, testing time for your complexion. That's the reason why we have complied hot new tips that will help you look gorgeous even after flipping the yellowing pages of dog-eared books throughout the night. Get rid of the dark circles. They do not match your complexion. You can perk up tired eyes by placing two slices of cucumber over them in the morning. If you do not wish to sit with your eyes hidden under cucumber, apply a cream that contains natural extracts. They are not very expensive and can be purchased from the neighbourhood shop, easily. After cleansing, dab a small amount around the area with your fingertip. Blend in evenly without rubbing too hard. Always remember to brush on a shade of eye shadow that matches your eyebrows. Brighten up your eyes with a thick coat of black mascara. You will be able to keep the look natural this way. Otherwise, try blue mascara. It will make your eyes look vibrant. Draw a fine line close to your upper lashes using a lining pen in black. Extend the line slightly beyond the outer corner of your eye. Next curl your lashes and sweep mascara to get that doe-eyed look, now. Cheek colour will make you look fresh. That is for sure. Go in for soft and feminine blush that makes heads turn in admiration. If you are fair, apply peach powder with a soft brush to the apples of your cheeks, otherwise go in for a bronze powder. Be careful to sweep the colour back towards your temples, then down towards your jaw. For that electrifying effect that will fool your friends into thinking you have not been studying much even though the exams are on, always highlight your forehead, as well as your cheekbones. Another thing, always remember to rub brush on the palm of your hand for removing excess shimmer powder. Now wear something bright and cheerful, even if you are staying back home to much history of English literature. Be sure, hair oil trickling down your brow will not help you much. Go, shampoo your tresses right now. Put on that party gladrags. Feel fresh and then sit down to solve sums. If dull skin is what you are suffering from, you should use a moisturising body wash to breathe life into your dull skin while washing up after a late night study session. For a flawless-looking complexion even during these stressful days, apply an extremely long lasting foundation. Keep the effect dewy by applying a moisturiser first. Slap on the moisturising cream when the bathroom is steamy and your skin still damp from shower. You can also moisturise the face with glycerin and rose water before getting down to work. Best of luck, folks. |

Chic Pick HEY kids, the examination season is here and you still haven't picked up nice alluring cards with your rugged hands for conveying tender best of luck wishes.... How can you be so careless? If she doesn't score over 70 per cent in mathematics, you will get the blame for not wishing her success. Do you wish to take chances? No, of course, not. So drive down to the arcade in your jalopy and buy a nice card for her, now.
Present her nice little gifts, instead. You can always buy traditional chocolates nicely packed in boxes covered with bright cellophane paper. Or else, you can purchase a huge teddy bear, even an impressive pink panther. Another suggestion. Do not sign the card if his mom or her dad do not know about your little “friendship”. It can also lead to unnecessary trouble. You can ask your chum to "store" the card in some remote corner of the closet, but the possibility of it being discovered one bad morning cannot be ruled out. You can even ask him or her to "destroy" the card after reading it, but then it will be rude. The best thing is not to sign the card at all. Pen down your pet name like "Nonu baccha" or "Cutie-pie". No one will be able to detect the source. You can be sure of that. But always remember to personalize the cards to "suit the occasion". Instead of picking up ones with nice long poems printed in bold letters that even bore you, go in for cards with simple "Best of luck" written across. The one he can keep on his study table. All the time. In front of his eyes. Inside, pen down a nice couplet, after composing it. If you encounter difficulty in the process, take the help of a friend. Just make sure he is not a common acquaintance. Else, he goes and tells her the secret of your creativity. The message should be simple. Not complex. Something she will be able to comprehend without consulting the dictionary. Write, "the efforts are yours, wishes mine, may your future always shine", or something like this. So guys and gals, do not waste time. Act now.

Mars Speaks Exams! The phobia generated by this five letter word gives jitters to each one of us. But it all depends on how we face it. Either we let it get over us or we give it a fight and be victorious. I feel it's all about how you cope with obstacles in your path of success. Keep your cool and do not succumb to the ever-mounting pressure. Realising the value of time is very important. Every event should be given time proportionally and one event should not be over-stressed as we normally do during these days. Relieving ourselves of the
pressure from time to time is very important. At the end of day, you should be content with efforts you have put in and never let the feeling of losing the game get over you. Just believe in yourself and remember: It does not matter from the height you fall, but how high you bounce back.
— Piyush Vig as told to SM RADIO

Upgradation of Urdu course hangs fire Chandigarh, March 4 The course, which was started way back in 1974, is stated to be the only Urdu language course being run in the city. The content of the present course is equivalent to the syllabus prescribed for the middle school level. About three years ago, the department had proposed that the course would be upgraded to the standard of matric level. The duration of the course was also to be increased from the present six months to one year. The idea behind the upgradation of the course was to make it more meaningful and give greater value to the certificate being issued to those completing the course. Though the course was introduced almost 30 years ago, there have been virtually no changes or modification in its curriculum since then. As per the department’s mandate, the course was to be taught at all district headquarters in Punjab as well as Chandigarh. The Director of the department had written to all those involved in teaching the course, eliciting their views and suggestions on upgrading or modifying the contents of the course to suit present-day requirements. |

Pvt students not allowed to take exam Chandigarh, March 4 Speaking to TNS here today they said that while the candidates were issued roll numbers for the examination the relevant records were not forwarded to the examination centre and hence the students were not allowed to take the exam. A resident of Baltana, Naresh Kumar Sharma, who was among the affected parents alleged that there were about 15 candidates whose records were not available with the centre. He claimed that since four regular candidates were absent, four of the private candidates were “adjusted” in their place by the centre authorities. The CBSE Regional Officer, Mr Yograj Sachdeva, when contacted said the board had not received any complaint in this regard. He added that there was no provision for “adjusting” candidates as was being claimed by the parents concerned and no school principal or centre in charge would take such a step. |

Exhibition of Purewal’s works Chandigarh, March 4 After exhibiting every alternate year, H.S. Purewal now seems to have complete control over the medium of expression. Using oils and acrylics, the artist paints his moods and emotions in the finest possible manner. His works are not limited in approach or in expression. Interestingly, a similar theme has been presented with great novelty in different frames. Most of the works capture the beauty of Punjab — its festive bearing and its cultural edge. Figurative by all means, the works are impressive in the sense that they beckon you to stay and allow your thoughts to analyse the artist’s emotions that lie hidden in the colours on the canvas. Two of Purewal’s works are purely spiritual in context. In the first one he traps the rays of light to fall on the enlightened face, even as darkness surrounds this face from all quarters. In another such work, the artist plays with the elements symbolic of spiritualism, using saffron as the main tool for expression. The works certainly leave a lasting impression on the art lovers. The exhibition will be on till March 10. |

Take out some time out of your busy schedule to pamper yourself. After a tiring night mugging up the notes, try face packs prepared from ingredients pulled out the kitchen cupboard. Or go to a beauty saloon, it will not take you more than 120 minutes. You will still be left with 22 hours to make up for the loss.
But before you get down to the serious business of indulging in a game of cards, just make sure her parents do not object to "such frivolous activities". If they do, then do not go in for cards, at all. Please. Lest both of you get into serious trouble. 
SUCCESS comes when you get what you want, or
desire. The starting point then, is to know what you want in life. I have always kept my focus on my target and I go after it with single minded devotion, concentration and total resoluteness.
