Chandigarh vulgarised
Chandigarh
may have surfaced as the country’s hottest emerging city in a survey carried out by real estate consultancy Knight Frank, but so many ‘out-to-chill’ kiddos out here are making it an ‘embarrassing place to live in’ because of their coldness towards basic decency.
That’s right, vulgarity is written on the city’s walls. Just in case you still haven’t read the not-so-fine print, hop into your car right away and drive down the roads meandering their way through grossness and rudeness.
There’s a good chance that you will come across helmetless guys making obscene gestures while overtaking your car on their single cylinder motorbikes. Provocation is not required as they raise their arms to communicate the message of indecency without using words. Or else, you will see obscene marks and words painted in bold letters on signboards all over.
“Vulgarity was always well-pronounced in Chandigarh with lot many guys pasting stickers of figures easing themselves on the rear windshield of their cars. Or even, gluing stickers of a folded palm with one finger sticking out,” says Punjab and Haryana High Court advocate Anil Pal Singh Shergill. “But it was never so
embarrassing”. Heaving a deep sigh, Shergill says: Driving down the geri route with family is now actually discomforting. On the signboard just opposite the Sector 10 petrol station, you find the guys showing their true colours by painting all sorts of gross words.
The situation of crudeness is hardly different in other parts of the city. If it’s not the four-letter word, guys have explained body anatomy in no uncertain terms. “You either see through the signboard or turn your face towards the other side,” says Shergill. “Coz nothing is in between the lines. The black and white assertions are all there for you in
colour.” Shergill believes the work is of outsiders. “No one familiar with the city’s intellectually rich and decent culture can ever think of it,” he says. “You see, when Le Corbusier planned the city, he wanted artists, intellectuals and academicians to settle down. And, they are the ones who still form the original inhabitants of Chandigarh.”
Well fellows, the guys are real passionate about the loathsome job. Almost all words are painted in bright red. Looking at the open declaration of crudity, cops say it’s apparently the job of one man or a single gang. But have just not been able to lay their hands on the culprits.
A senior police officer says the culprits will be proceeded against under the provisions of the West Bengal Defacement of Property Act as applicable to Chandigarh once they identify the gang. “It’s just a question of time,” he says.
Well, Mr Officer time is something Chandigarh does not have to deal with the menace. Do something fast, lest it emerges as the vulgar-most city of all.

Mum’s the word
She’s been giving the tele bahu-brigade some real competition. Not that she’s fiery like the Kanjeevaram-clad Tulsi, forever shouting from her circular lounge. No Parvati-like sobbing for her either. But ah—Nandita Puri comes across as a relief from the sobbing, simpering moms in our daily dose of
soaps.
She may be boo-hooing about the aches of putting farz over suhaag in Zee’s Maayka, but Puri does it with class. Soft-spoken and calm, there’s a serenity this dancer-turned-actor exuberates. Does that explain her being typecast as maa in most soaps? On a personal visit to the city, she says,“I’ve played a mother’s role in Ashirwaad, Karz, Kalash, Sanjivani, Maayka and now Sanskar.” Laughs Puri, adding, “Though I’d like to try diverse roles, the telly guys do not see me as anything else. Not even the bitchy
step-mom!” No longer a part of Maayka, the actor’s focussing on her dancing talent. Daughter of Patiala famous vocalist Primila Puri, Nandita’s passionate about Kathak. “I’m conducting my dancing classes for 55 students in a Mumbai-based dance school. I’ve performed in nine German cities and recently performed a ballet in Mumbai,” smiles Puri. And, for all those who love the domesticated diva avataar Nandita plays on telly, here’s some good news. The actor is very much domesticated herself.“ I love to cook, stitch and clean,” she laughs. Now, that’s what we call mummy like.

A class apart
Chocolates in the city will now speak French. That may be stretching it, but not too far, we promise! With single-origin chocolates making their debut, it is rather like single malts, say aficionados. Err, not quite, says the Frenchman and chocolatier Jean Marc Bernelin in the city who insists it is rather like fine wine!
“Just like grapes from different regions give wine their distinct flavour, chocolates have individual flavours too,” he says.
Jean Marc is here from Callebaut to train in the fine art of fine chocolate making. Callebaut, for the uninitiated us, is one of the world’s premier chocolate makers who have their name dipped in chocolate no less for over a century now. However, how they came to Chandigarh is a simple enough story.
Not content with serving Belgian chocolates to the city’s growing saccharine needs, Nikhil Mittal, alias Nik Baker, in Sector 9, roped in Callebaut, to tweak the city’s taste buds. What with beans from Java, Tanzania, Madagascar, Equador, Papua New Guinea amongst others circulating with the more common varieties.
And Jean Marc is the man for the job. In fact, not only does he teach people on how to use the chocolate correctly he also ensures he consumes 100 grams of chocolate daily! “It is to keep the palate acquainted,” he says.
All this talk of chocolate makes one hungry and so we ask if we Indians have the ‘correct taste’ for chocolate. Alas, we discover, we still have a long way to go! “Indians love sweet but do not know enough. However, things are changing and I see tastes getting more evolved here,” says Jean Marc.
He lives by his motley adage of, “I live for chocolate, I live with chocolate and I live by chocolate.”
Jean Marc was a chef baking pastries and creating chocolates in a small town outside of Paris in St. Maur, when he was selected by Callebaut five years ago to be with them. He now spends his time travelling, training chocolatiers-in-the-making all over the world.
So what do we, in the city, have to look forward to? A peek at the gorgeously dressed up tray full of chocolate goodies at the bakery, shrieks plenty! Think bitter chocolate and not just the plain variety. Look forward to selections suffused with fresh mint leaves, cardamom, crispies along with white and dark chocolate mousses, cakes and pralines.
The chocolates will be ready to be gobbled up in a month from now at the Nik Bakers outlet opening in Sector 35. “These are a special, unique and exclusive grade of chocolates,” says Nik and at Rs 1,500 to 2,000 per kg, they may not come cheap but they certainly dance a jig on that elusive palate! Have one. Don’t just take our word for it!

Yesterday
once more
Unplanned mass bunks, gossip sessions over steaming cups of milky chai and sams, studying with friends just one night before the exams…it all seems just like yesterday. Students and seasons may come and go, but for Panjab University alumni, there’s no place like the campus – age no
bar.
For UBS alumnus and Arena Multimedia owner Vineet Raj Kapoor, the campus is like home even after 17 years of passing out. “I love the feel of the place. I come back to meet the faculty and drop by Stu-c when my batchmates are in town.” And, when his ex-classmates are not around he drives around the campus with his family. “Though there are times when I do feel a bit out of place with my grey hair and matured outlook, but what the heck,” he smiles. Ask him what he misses the most? And pat comes the reply, “Playing chess and carom at Stu-c. I would love to go back and enjoy a game even today.” Days spent at the campus remind him of the long list of pranks he played, he shares one with us “I was the in-charge of the wall magazine of UBS. And not even a single management student had contributed for it, so we thought of an easy way out. The UBS boys were quite popular among the girls pursuing their mass communication so we requested them to contribute for the magazine and never faced a shortage of articles,” he tells.
For Kuldeep Kaul, director of Metro Exporters, it is the days spent sitting under the shade of tree at Stu-c or the parking lot that brings him back. “I used to wait for lunch and bite on my favourite fried rice with rajma and I still come back to relish it,” he smiles. He confesses that he was a part of perhaps the most mischievous batch and to their credit is a prank that still makes the faculty wonder. Narrating the incident, he says, “Diwali was round the corner and we decided to burst crackers in the class of one of the most strict professors. We were suspended for two days but we apologised later. Teachers still try to inquire about the incident when we meet them at the alumni meet.”
The mere thought of leaving the campus is giving Manish Sawal hiccups. A pass out from the chemical engineering department he says, “I have spent my whole life in the campus as my father was an employee of the university and now that we have to shift our house, I don’t know how I will survive.” Manish is working as planning engineer with Cephan group. Recollecting those wonderful days he says,” We used to be a group of eight at would sit near the Nescafe counter and check out the crowd.” Chips in his friend Love Miglani, alumini from the same department, “Those were the best days and we used to make fun of every weirdo passing by.”
Surinder Mulik, who has pursued three courses from PU, says, “I shared my name with another guy called Surinder. And, I remember he threatened the department head to sit on dharna, as he felt that the girls were given more marks than boys.” Presently working as information officer at DPR, Punjab, he says he loves everything about the campus be it the main library or the department
huts. swati@tribunemail.com |

They speak through colour
Art is a personal feeling that an artist attempts to express through his work, which is otherwise difficult to be communicated. But here at the Kalasangam centre, Sector 2 in Panchkula, 30-odd artists between the age of four and 16, put up an excellent show on the concluding day of a 45-day camp.
Paintings were vying with each other for recognition and attention. Though these works cannot be subjected to a critic’s scrutiny applicable to masters, but their imagination and skill shows their potential. Of course, it requires to be
groomed. A hearing impaired Sudhanshu, all of 12 stands tall with maximum creations selected for the final display. What he lacks in perceptions, he makes up with immaculate precision in drawing and strokes in watercolours. His brother Kunal (9) is also with him. Among girls, Sukriti (13) with exclusive glass paintings, Tanvi (10), Veni deserve special mention besides Kavya
(10). “The participants made hundreds of items but on merit we have selected only 100 pieces for the display,” said Sudha Sablok, the trainer and the spirit behind the show. A graduate from Government Home Science College, Sector 10, Sudha has taught art for over 12 years in Bahrain, Dubai and also in the USA. Settled in Panchkula, she first taught painting to a group of young women with the sole aim of acquiring their services for imparting training to budding artists. Others who volunteered for the camp are Hema Jain, Anita Satija, Sunita, Anjali Raina and Devanshi
Raina.

Elwood, a two-year-old Chinese Crested and Chihuahua mix, has been crowned the world’s ugliest dog, a distinction that delighted the New Jersey mutt’s owners.
Dark coloured and hairless — save for a mohawk-like puff of white fur on his head — Elwood is often referred to as Yoda, or ET, for his resemblance to those famous science fiction characters. “I think he’s the cutest thing that ever lived,” said Elwood’s owner, Karen Quigley, a resident of Sewell, New Jersey.
Quigley brought Elwood out to compete for the second year at the annual ugly dog contest at the Marin-Sonoma County Fair. Elwood placed second last year. Most of the competing canines were also Chinese Crested, a breed that features a mohawk, bug eyes and a long, wagging tongue.
Quigley said she rescued Elwood two years ago. “The breeder was going to euthanise him because she thought he was too ugly to sell,” said Quigley. “So ha ha, now Elwood’s all over the Internet and people love him and adore him.”
Beyond the regal title of Ugliest Dog, Elwood also earned a $1,000 reward for his owner!

Shade it all Have
you acquired the latest oversized and jazzy pair of shades that lends anonymity yet makes one stand out in the crowd? If not, it’s sure to be on the top of your must haves list for this summer. But before you head towards those swanky shops that offer all these glittering shades, sported by our Bollywood divas for peanuts, here’s a word of caution from the eye experts— buying fashionable sunglasses that offer little or no protection from the harmful UV rays— may leave you
blind. A harsh reality, but there are statistics to support the fact. A survey of 1,500 teenagers and young adults for the College of Optometrists in London, found that 63 per cent were more influenced by style and cost of their shades, rather than by the protection they offered. This is getting the experts worried because while trying to emulate celebs, the youngsters may face damage in the eyes and an increasing risk of cataract, which can cause blindness in later
life. “It’s particularly worrying that younger people have so little regard for their eyes when up to 80 per cent of exposure to the UV rays over a person’s lifetime, occurs before the age of 18,” comments Dr Susan Blakeney, an optometric adviser at the College of Optometrists. It is therefore especially important to make sure that children wear sunglasses so that any long-term damage is minimised, she
adds. Now we have mixed news — the good news is that city youngsters are quite aware that protecting their eyes is as important as being in vogue. So, most of them are either buying reputed brands or good the non-branded ones which ensure UV protection.
But the bad news is that not many children have taken to shades. “We hardly stock shades for children as not many come asking for them,” says Munish Dixit, departmental supervisor at Ebony, Sector 9, “Good ones for children start at Rs 700. Not many people are willing to shell out that much, knowing that the pair would not cross the six-month mark,” he
adds. Gurpreet Singh of Weldon Opticals, Sector 17, admits that though they are catering branded glasses from Ginny and Johnny and Disney’s to this segment, less number of children are buying sunglasses as compared to
youngsters. One can gauge the gravity of the situation from the fact that Pink ’N Peach in Sector 19, a shop that started with a wide collection of shades for kids and adults, has finally decided to close down the children’s section. “There’s hardly anyone buying glasses for their children. Only the fashion conscious teenagers and young adults are willing to spend money on glasses – either for the sake of trend or protection of their eyes,” says Anil Gupta of Pink ’N
Peach. They surely are fashion conscious, but at the same time, they are conscious about the UV filter properties of shades . According to Munish, the over-sized Ray Bans and Vintage pairs are becoming quite popular among the college-going crowd. “And yes, they do inquire about the quality of the glasses,” he adds. “True, as the people of the city are both educated and affluent, they are ready to spend money for a good product,” chips in
Gurpreet. As it can be summerised in young Richa’s comment—one has to have eyes to keep up with fashion updates. Well
said! parbina@tribunemail.com |

Hello Gunaji Parbina Rashid His latest Marathi book Gudharmya Maharashtra is doing roaring business. He is the bad guy in Subhash Ghai’s Black and White, making news in N. Chandra’s Breaking News, doing his social bits as the turtle saver in Hello Zindagi. What’s more, his recent exhibition of photographs in Pune established him as a man equally comfortable behind the camera. Milind Gunaji is in the news again. So, when the deep baritone voice on the other end phone agrees for an interview for Life Style, we fumble for the right questions. But with time running out and our thought process still not taking definite shape, we start from the basics.
*
Which are your latest projects?
Besides Black and White, Breaking News and Hello Zindagi, I am working for an untitled film on wildlife, which is a Canadian project.
*
How black is your role in Ghai’s flick?
I am quite black in that film (chuckles). I am playing the character of a dreaded terrorist. Even for the Canadian film, I am an animal skin seller, which is again a negative role. The only positive role I am playing right now is that of an animal lover, who saves turtles in Hello
Zindagi.
*
Do we get to see you more on the small screen, especially after the success of Prithviraj Chauhan and
Kulvadhu?
Not immediately. At present I am hosting a travel series called Happy Journey and another one Bhatkanti for a Marathi TV
channel.
*
What’s new on the writing front?
A CD of my Marathi poems titled My Mind is Like a Bird (Gunaji gives us the English translation as we have difficulty in catching the Marathi name) was released recently. I am now working on the Hindi version of the
poems.
These are all related fields. When I go on shoots, I find subjects for my books and photographs. The inspiration for my poems comes from the heart. |

Safe in
the rays Pammy Kaul
For years we have been told to cover ourselves when in the sun, to avoid skin burns. But these days it is considered that a bit of sunshine on your body is actually good. The action of the sun’s UVB rays on the skin produces Vitamin D and to boost our vitamin D levels we need just few minutes of sunshine three or four times. So step out without the SPF for 10 to 15 minutes at least three times a week. It would not be wrong to say that we get about 90 to 95 per cent of our vitamin D from the sun. Also it is very important as it helps us absorb calcium for healthy bones, and provides protection against serious chronic diseases such as osteoporosis, type II diabetes, multiple sclerosis and many other common ailments. But be very sensible about being in the sun, count the minutes that you are moving in and out also. A little sunshine everyday can boost your mood and also help to prevent a host of serious illnesses. If you have pale skin you will need a higher SPF. My advice would be to never go lower than SPF15, which in the beauty world is also known as the magic number. Pregnant mothers and children must be encouraged to use creams that are natural; for there are many products that are completely physical and just sit on the top layer of your skin. These creams are also waterproof and can be used while swimming. The only snag is that they make you look whiter as the creams don’t settle in the skin but just coats it.
*I am a working girl. I have got a tan on my face and arms. Please suggest some homemade remedies to remove it.
— Ravneet Kaur Tan is the body’s way of protecting itself from further injury from sun rays. To avoid that always cover the areas that you don’t wish to be tanned and try to stay out of sun as much as you can help. You start exfoliating the area you don’t want to be tanned. Once the tan lightens, your skin is going to be more sensitive towards sun rays and then can be more easily damaged. Exfoliating will help you remove the tan but will also be leaving your skin more sensitive towards rays. Actually, when you get tanned, a living cell gets injured. In an effort to remove dead cells, you will actually remove colour as well but if the tan is too deep then it will take time to lighten up. Home remedies do not work as a magic cure and you have to be regular with them. Apply mashed ripe banana on your skin, leave it on for fifteen to twenty minutes and then wash off. You may also try rubbing tomato or lemon juice, which is quite good for removing tan. Remember burning equals ageing, and if that does not stop you from going out in the sun without a sunscreen then nothing else will.

Shetty.

Paanch ka ek, Dus ka do!
AN ice ball sprinkled with bright sherbets in red, green and pinks waiting for you at the roadside is like a life saver when you are out on the road sweating and thirsty. Tempting, chilled and mouth-watering, the barf ka gola relieves you from the fury of the rising mercury.
However, the colourful ball before you is prepared from impure water and coated with artificial colours prepared in unhygienic conditions. But then it is only this ‘ball of invitation to diseases’ that can refresh and re-energise you in this heat.
Well, not to worry anymore. For the cold war between ice-cream brands has now resulted in a variety of thirst quenching ice candies, all just for Rs
5. You can bite into the all-time favourite orange bar available in all brands. And well, it is not only kids who love to see their tongue becoming orange, the young and the old too don’t mind biting into the orangey delight.
Says Ganesh Kumar, vendor at Kwality Walls on Madhya Marg, “I sell over 80 Fun Orange sticks during late evening and
night.” You can also pick up a Choco-Vanilla delight, which is a sweet and creamy treat. And, if it is the crispy and crunchy that you relish, then bite into Bikimax, which is a scoop of vanilla ice-cream sandwiched between two biscuits.
Fruity slices of heaven come coated in the form of Cream Bell’s joosticks in flavours like nimbu pani, black grape, strawberry and pineapple. However, you will have to shed Rs 10 for these.
A must-try is the transparent nimbu pani stick which is healthy and contains no artificial flavours. And for the regular mango and orange bar at the cart, you will have to make sure that you reach before the clock strikes 10.
Says Vicky, the vendor near the lake, “When the temperature touched 45 degree recently, we sold over five boxes each and our stockwas over
by 10 pm.” For a cooling effect, gulp down a glass of jal jeera, rather bite into a jal jeera juicy at Vadilal. The spiced and salty stick will leave you with a tangy and refreshing taste. Over 50 of these sticks are sold a day, along with the other flavours like kachi kar, orange and mango juicy.
These flavours are a big hit with those who are intolerant to milk products. And, if the calorie count is keeping you away from ice-creams, then bite into Mother Dairy’s chulbuli and sharaat lic
lolliez. Now, isn’t this what we call value for money? purva@tribunemail.com (With inputs from Rajiv Bhatia)

And the most expensive ice cream... The $1,000 (Rs 45,915) Grand Opulence Sundae sold by New York’s Serendipity restaurant is the most expensive. Yes, it’s here that Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack went on their first date in the romantic flick of the same name. Anyway, the dessert is made of five scoops of the richest Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream infused with Madagascar vanilla and covered in 23K edible gold leaf. It is drizzled with the world’s most expensive chocolate, Amedei Porceleana, and covered with chunks of rare Chuao chocolate. It is also suffused with exotic candied fruits from Paris, gold dragets, truffles and Marzipan Cherries, and topped with a tiny glass bowl of Grand Passion Caviar. It’s sweetened and infused with fresh passion fruit, orange and Armagnac and served in a baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet with an 18K gold spoon!

BON APPETIT May the good Lord bless the blokes who invented ice cream and air-conditioners, for they certainly help make our scorching summers more bearable. Sundaes, cones, ice-cream pies and ice-cream sandwiches have all evolved from the original “iced-cream”. Various additions and facelifts have given it the creamy, rich and fluffy product we are familiar with today. You could shepherd the kids into the kitchen to try out these variations that are delectable as well as splendid to look at. Mississippi Mud-Pie
¼ cup butter 1 litre vanilla ice
cream 150 gm cream 300 gm dark chocolate, chopped 2 tbsp rum
(optional) ¾ cup whipped cream for decoration Nibbled almonds & cherries for
topping Method Whirl the wafers in a food processor till they are crumbled. Add softened butter and mix. Press mixture firmly into the base of a pie dish or a shallow glass container. Chill until set. In the meanwhile, bring the cream to a gentle simmer in a pan, adding chopped chocolate to it. Stir till an even sauce is formed and allow it to cool. If you would like to, then add rum at this stage. Soften the ice-cream with a fork, pile into the pie dish and spread evenly. Drop dollops of the prepared chocolate fudge sauce over it and roughly spread it across the surface. Freeze the pie after covering it with cling film for 6-8 hours. Before serving, scatter cherries and almonds over the pie and pipe rosettes of whipped cream around the
edges. Mango & cookie pie
300 gm cookies (chocolate or plain) ¼ cup
butter 1 litre mango ice cream 3 cups chopped mango Nuts & whipped cream for
garnishing Method Crush the biscuits with a rolling-pin and keep ? of them aside for the garnishing. Mix softened butter into the rest (as in the previous recipe) and press into a pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator. Fold most of the chopped mango into the softened ice cream, saving a little for garnishing. Spread the mixture onto the biscuit crust, cling-film and freeze. Serve when frozen, topped with the remaining mango bits, crushed cookies and nuts and decorated with swirls of cream. |

EATING citrus fruits rich in Vitamin C such as papaya, oranges and blackcurrant may be good for diabetes, for a new research has found that the nutrient could help reduce some of the complications linked with the
disease.
Researchers from the University of Warwick have found that the nutrient helps ‘mop-up’ free radicals that are produced in excess in
diabetics. Free radicals are tissue-damaging molecules, and Vitamin C ‘normalises’ their levels in the body, said Lead researcher Professor Antonio
Ceriello. “Vitamin C scavenges free radicals and normalises free radical levels, thus avoiding their effects,” he said. High blood-sugar levels linked with type-1 diabetes can cause changes to the mitochondria, which increases the amounts of free radicals
produced. Even after blood-sugar levels are normalised in diabetics, the researchers found evidence that free radicals continue to be produced. This is harmful as this can cause tissue damage and lead to possible amputations, heart disease or
blindness. In another study, the researchers found that it was possible to normalise free radical levels by first treating diabetic people with type 1 diabetes with insulin, and then with Vitamin
C. This helps ‘mop-up’ free radicals.But there is a catch. The treatment with Vitamin C is only effective if continued in the long-term. However, this could be
dangerous. The answer to this might be in using the blood pressure-lowering drug Telmisarten which had the same effect as Vitamin C, and might be a safer
alternative. The researchers are now looking for other drugs to try to permanently stop the free radical production.

Come summer and it is time to protect ourselves from the harmful rays of UVA and UVB. And it is indeed very confusing with all the SPF numbers and then the big question always remains what factor to apply on our skin and when? There are products ranging from factor eight to sixty. To break it up for you, UVA penetrates deep into the skin layer causing premature ageing and increasing the risk of skin cancer, while UVB rays burn the surface of the skin causing it to tan and
burn.
