‘Most people live because they do not die’ Chandigarh, June 7 He urged the students to recognise the 93-97 per cent of unutilised potential, the inner dimension of all humans, which coupled with positive thoughts could make miracles happen, thus transforming human lives by making them achieve everything they aim for in life. He also advised the students to learn to live life ethically by following the principle of using things and loving people rather than love things and using people. The motivational guru lived up to his reputation holding the students and faculty spell-bound through his unique presentation style.

Helmets can add to your style too
CHIN up girls. Forget all about driving down the road to college with head resting on the chest under the burden of heavy helmets. For you, auto dealers all over the city are offering snazzy flip-up and full-face helmets. Yes, you have guessed it right. Flamboyant helmets — superior in weight, ventilation and comfort — are available all over the city for biker girls negotiating sharp curves on the road to fashion. Even as some religious and social organisations are continuing with their strife against the decision of the Chandigarh Police to fine helmet-less girls, so many of them have already picked up jazzy safety helmets for adding to their style. In vogue are the ones covering the visage. They may not be a part of their wardrobe, but are now a fashion accessory. No doubt about it. “Gone are days when girls had to wrap up their faces with cheerful scarves,” says socio-psychologist Ritu Sareen. “Today, they ride on the fast lane of life wearing helmets that protect their face from sun’s onslaught, and head from injuries”. In case you haven’t picked up one, wear your attitude by going in for headgear coated with chip-proof paint. You can also pick up helmets with scratch-proof visors by pulling out anywhere between Rs 750 and Rs 3,000. Flip-up helmets — with chin guard lifting facility — are hot favourites. If you do not like flip up or full face helmets, you can go in for open-face, off-road or “shorty” helmets. Just make sure that the helmets do not loosely dangle around your head as you ride the two-wheeler. Go in for the ones that fit nicely and properly, preferably with “ISI” mark. In case you are donning helmet worn by some other member of your family, just make sure it is still “worthy”. Replace your helmet if you have picked it up from roadside vendor. Chances are that the helmet is not having foam liner in it. In their absence, you can suffer severe damage to your head. Just make sure that the foam is thick enough for adequate protection. Also, change you helmet if has crashed. Even if the headgear appears to be undamaged, buy a new one. “The reason is not hard to see,” says Sector 27 auto shop owner Raman Sharma. “Foam that forms core part of the helmet is designed to be used just once. After the crash, the foam can no longer offer appropriate protection”. In any case, the manufactures now recommend that helmets older than five years should be replaced with newer ones. |

A trendy designer
Rachhan Ahulwalia sits in his quaint studio in the Sector 35 Quiet Offices with wife Gulu helping him out. The rows of chic velvet-embossed designer jeans, cotton and denim skirts in fish cuts and flares and trendy tops in lycra, net and silk vie with stunning evening dresses and gowns lining the wall. This is one of the few designer houses in Chandigarh to stock a huge range of trendy as well as formal Western wear. In an interview with TNS, Rachhan reels out a number of fashion fundas: “Try to wear fashion”, “Stop tearing fashion”, “Creativity is in everybody”, “Body and clothes go together.” And this wisdom, he adds, has not come from some fashion school, but experience. A firm believer in honing the innate talent for design, symmetry and aesthetics on the job, Rachhan says the time spent on creating garments as also on such marketing strategies as holding ramp shows has done the trick for him. The collage of pictures dotting his studio is testimony to the big names in the world of modelling that he has walked on the ramp. Be it Mehar Bhasin, Ishita, Shikha or Lada, all these gorgeous beauties stare down at you from the wall, flanking the young designer. This self-taught creator says fashion comes naturally to him. He has worked in Delhi for three years, before shifting base to City Beautiful, his hometown. Rachhan even has an eye for spotting talent. He groomed a casual visitor to his shop, Priyanka Sharma, and proudly takes part credit for her notching the Miss North Zone crown. He says the key to success is adding a bit of attitude to not only your dresses, but also one’s personality. A stylish incision here, studded embellishment there, some sequins, a frill or even a Feng Shui motif plus a proper cut to the cloth are enough to transform an ordinary outfit into a stunning ‘designer’ garment. The best part is the price tag. In the range of Rs 200 to Rs 2,000, you can have a pick of trendy Western wear, both for a casual outing or an evening party. With long cotton skirts becoming a rage in the city again this summer, he says Chandigarh girls are also catching up fast with their Delhi counterparts. However, they are not as bold and still prefer the prim and prpoah look. Rachhan also makes Indian lehnga cholis and designer saris and suits to be worn in marriages and other traditional parties on order. But, they are in the higher cost bracket. |

It is a story about a bar dancer’s sacrifice, romance and emotions. “I chose the bold subject in an attempt to do something different, instead of jut directing routine serials about domestic conflicts.
