Tiny tots burn Ravana Chandigarh, October 1 But his excessive greed for power made him short-sighted as his evil side began to get more dominant. By the end of the various sessions it was clear to children that if he had not been punished the negativity would have affected society, people and other innocent lives. The final burning of the effigy became a collective process. The children took on the role of both creators and destroyers as they worked towards preserving a new moral order. The effigy was ‘built’ using different mediums like thermacol, used and recycled paper, cardboard, fabric odds and ends, wool and metallic pieces in multi coloured hues. An environment friendly Ravana also had the barest minimum of non-polluting fire crackers. |

Roy for video conferencing between courts Addressing a gathering yesterday, the Chief Justice said video conferencing would enable inspecting and administrative Judges of High Courts, even district judges, “to have a quick superintendence over the subordinate judiciary”. Mr Justice Roy added that the facility was “slightly expensive”, but would prove to be effective. As far as the shortage of judges was concerned, he said, “We all know that the judge-population ratio in our country is far below that of other democracies. The apex court had to take cognisance in this regard and fix a five-year period for raising the ratio. “In my view, merely increasing the number of judges alone may not solve the problem.... good judges are required,” he said. Mr Justice Roy stated that the description of a good judge by Lord Chancellor Lyndhurst was relevant. “`First, he must be honest. Second, he must be reasonably hardworking. Third, he must have courage. Fourth, he must be a gentleman. And then, if he has some knowledge of law, it will help’. I do not agree with the fifth description of a judge, whether of the subordinate or the High Court. He must have a sound knowledge of law, apart from the history and culture of the nation”, he said. Regarding the problem of stress being faced by the legal fraternity, Mr Justice Roy said it could be reduced by “citing at the Bar only relevant decisions, which apply to the facts and the circumstances of the cases”. Giving details, he said, “As a judge I have noticed that sometimes the amended provisions of the Act are not taken in account while drafting pleadings or during submissions. It is imperative for counsel and the court, to acquaint themselves with the latest statute”. The judge concluded: “Faith begets faith. If the faith is shaken, then the institution of judiciary is bound to crumble and collapse. The need is not to allow anyone to shake it. Tolerance is required. One is required to remember ‘Nindak Niarae Rakhiye Aangan Kuti Chaavai’. Honest criticism of one’s functioning is required to be tolerated and appreciated for correcting oneself”. |

YOUTH LIFE
& STYLE
IT'S party time folks. That’s the reason why we have complied a list of style secrets just for you. So do not be scared of wearing that tie-and-dye top over white trousers. Just follow our simple guide for cool looks in the Autumn of 2003. Tuck your pants in your boots. It is the easiest way of creating a trendy out-fit from the items you already own. The pants should be form-fitting or slightly baggy. Do not try the trick with boot-cut bottoms. They are too wide to be tucked it. There is hardy any need for you to wear a jacket. No, not even in the mornings. But if wish to don one just for “style” at the evening bash, pair it with the right attire. Remember not to wear a jacket over suits, churidar or otherwise. They look odd. Go in for an embroidered ones instead. Remember to take good scare of the details. Wear a knee-length brocade dress, along with metal bangles, but do not forget to slip into swarovski-studded sandals. You will look funny trotting down the narrow market corridors in sneakers underneath. As soon as you feel like putting something warm, go in for cardigans for casual, even on formal occasions. There are, however, certain style secrets you must remember before leaving your dressing room. Do not button up a long cardigan. You will not look funny, but odd, indeed. Also, do not pair a short shirt with a knit skirt. Knee-length knit skirts look gorgeous as long as you wear them with tops that comfortably reach your hip-bone, otherwise they look odd. Knit skirts look best with turtle neck sweaters or button-down shirts. Forget all about wearing an oversize sweater with wide-legged pants. No, the combination does not exactly look “alien”, but it makes you appear shapeless. If you wish to look feminine, always wear an extra-large sweater with slim bottom. You can go in for narrow-legged pants, but never pair the stuff with baggy bottom. This is not all. Do not forget to pamper yourself. Before anything else, take care of your nails. First, prepare the nail surface nicely. You can use polish remover to get rid of oil or lotion. Now go and wash your hands. Rub them dry before taking the next step. Apply base coat to the dry nails. Paint two coats of the colour. Remember to use light sweeping strokes. You should always start at the base and move upwards with cool precision. Don’t be in a hurry to rush out. Allow the polish to dry between the coats. You wouldn't have to wait much. Most enamels today take not more than a minute to set. Before venturing out, apply top coat to protect the polish. You should reapply the colour every two or three days. It will preserve the shine. If you have short nails, please ditch dark hues. They make the nails look even shorter. Opt for light and shimmery tints like shiny purple or alluring browns. Remember to match the colour of your nail enamel with the shade of your lucky lips. You can always pair lip hues like plump and chocolate with nail shades like copper or plump tint. Hair care for you
If you also wish to have silky tresses that glitter in the afternoon sun, just follow our guide for getting locks that do not feel like straws at all. In the first place, avoid using metal barrettes and bands with metal parts on your hair as much as possible. Elastic bands are the best. They do the least damage to your crowning glory. Though frequent application of henna further dries your hair, occasional application helps in hiding loathsome silvery strand. It is a matter of preference, but short hair is easier to maintain and keep clean. Go in for a neat trim if you are lazy about washing your hair regularly. If you prefer long hair, pin it up or tie it into a tight pony tail. It looks graceful and hair do not get dirty that often, you can be sure of it. Do not blow dry your tresses. Air dry them, if possible. Not-quite-straight, not-quite-curly, tresses look great. Otherwise also, do not comb your hair hard. You will do more damage than good. Another thing. Do not bleach or perm your hair. Bleached tresses look good as you walk down the city streets. But it deprives your hair of moisture. It is a proven fact, be sure. Say good bye to dandruff in the Autumn of 2003. Oil hair well before going to bed. Next morning, mix one teaspoon of lime with amla juice. Rub the blend on the scalp with lime peel turned inside out. Leave for an hour before shampooing. Mix a tablespoon of glycerin with same quantity of olive oil, brown vinegar, castor oil, conditioner and shampoo. Apply the mask to pre-shampooed hair and leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse well. See the difference. Ditch dryness. Shift to gels, pomades and creams. Spray-on styling products, available over the counter, are good, but leave the hair dry. Go in for gels and creams, even hair-wax. They add to the moisture content of your mane. Hair will never appear rude again. Remember to use a good shampoo, or a mild soap. A harsh shampoo or soap can cause a great deal of damage to your crowning glory. A mild shampoo, on the other hand, is a boon for your tresses. Afterwards apply a good conditioner. A leave-in conditioner forms a coating on the hair preventing dirt and pollution from settling down in the process.  |
