Fashion’s First
“With around-the-clock TV, people are more aware of their style and what they have on,” says Ann Stock, who worked as White House social secretary during the Clinton administration. Obama’s style so far has been mostly distinguished by her fondness for a sleeveless, body-conscious dress often adorned with playful brooches or pearls. That preference has led to comparisons with Jackie Kennedy, the last First Lady to rise to the level of fashion icon. Just Jackie
The public has conveniently forgotten that even Kennedy’s style had to evolve. It is, perhaps, unfair to compare Obama to Kennedy simply because they share a preference for a kind of dress — as if Kennedy has ownership of the sheath, which would mean that Hillary Clinton has custody of the pantsuit. The comparison is more apt in reference to their youthfulness and the way in which their attire bears the imprint of their times. In the past 20 years, however, First Lady style remained dignified, but it also became staid. While fashion connoisseurs and younger women have been delighted to see Obama baring her arms, older or more conservative observers find it inappropriate. Nearly 50-year-old images of Kennedy look more contemporary — in terms of fashion — than do images of more recent First Ladies. In photograph after photograph of Kennedy during her years in the White House, she is wearing a sleeveless dress, a strapless gown or capris. She is pictured wearing a backless sundress. And on at least one occasion, she posed for an official photograph wearing an ivory halter-style gown that bared her back. Nancy Reagan wore a one-shouldered gown to her first inauguration. She even wore knickers, a fact that should serve as evidence of her trendy adventurousness rather than her good judgment.
Barbara to Laura
But from Barbara Bush to Laura Bush, we’ve grown accustomed to First Ladies whose approach to fashion essentially has been: First, do no harm. Barbara Bush used her grandmotherly image as a way of opting out of fashion. Laura Bush has managed to stay out of the fashion crossfire by wearing different versions of the same utterly OK suit. So far, Obama, like Kennedy, has refused to be stuffy. First Lady fashion may be catching up with the times. Hopefully, her citizen critics will not stand in the
way.

The vote goes to…
Deepika Gehani, fashion designer: "My favourite First Lady is Hillary Clinton. She has a chic dressing style.” On who is the worst dressed she says, "I don't remember any of the US First Ladies as being shoddily dressed." On the Indian political scene, she finds Renuka Choudhary as the best-dressed Indian female politician.
Amanpreet Wahi, model: "Carla Bruni is definitely stylish, but more than a First Lady, she dresses up like a model. Hillary Clinton has the stature, command and elegance of a First Lady. And yes, no one in India matches them. On whose style would she like to copy, she says, "Hillary tops my list, but I would like to dress up like her when I am maybe 60." jigyasachimra@tribunemail.com

Making melodies
For someone who first performed at the age of 10 , music is the soul of nature. “Music is a generous way to express it and the best way to touch the hearts of the audiences, feels Arvinder, who has performed on stage with almost all Bollywood stars like Shahrukh Khan, Govinda, Akshay Kumar, Karishma Kapoor, Salman Khan, Kajol and Juhi Chawla. Talking about his style of music, Arvinder says that he enjoys whatever he sings. “ I like to mix Hindustani Classical Music with the pop. The good part is that I can perform non-stop hours, which helps to strike an instant chord with audiences. About his looks, which is again a fusion of tradition and style, Arvinder feels that he does not cut hair for religious reasons. And, a far as style is concerned, the pony tail does the needful. “Fusion is confusion. Nevertheless, mixes as sell in the market.”Arvinder who started to learn classical music at the age of eight has trained with Pandit Devaki Nandan in Himachal Pradesh, Pandit Ram Narayan Sharma of Jaipur gharana, and Ustad Mahender Singh of Punjab gharana. He has also, composed and sang for Sanjha Chulha on Doordarshan. This was his first venture. Since then he has been associated with several notable songs, Tun Tun Ho Yara from film Dada, Ma Ambe in Aamir Khan’s Mela, Chod Ke Na Jana from Maa Tujhe Salaam, Eid Mubarak from Tumko Na Bhool Payenge. On his new album, Arvinder feel sit is a jewel in his career. “The album has eight songs. The lyrics have been written by Madan Pal, Dr Devendra ( Khafir) Panchhi Jalonvi, Gumrah Kaeanati, Rishi Aazad, Tejpal Mizaj, Arvinder Singh the musician who have played on the album include music by Arvinder Singh, arranged and programmed by Umesh Raokane”, adds the singer. The album ‘Jab Tak Hai Jee Jee Bhar Ke Pee’ has three video’s in Mumbai and Bangkok. The video is directed by Navin Batra.

Have pen, will write
Words giving vent to emotions, flowing freely into expressions just like rivulets and in the process painting pictures open to readers’ interpretation. Hold on! We are talking of creative writing. Next, perhaps only to imagination in its limits. “Words have got no meaning of their own, they behave differently under different situations,” says D. S. Gupt, vice-chairperson, Chandigarh Sahitya Akademi, while taking the creative writing workshop, organised by the Akademi at Guru Gobind Singh College for Women-26.
The two-day workshop will have six or seven veterans from varied fields of literature tutoring 120 students from 12 different colleges. During the five-and-a-half hour session each day, the participants will be taught four core areas of writing namely, poetry, prose, drama and short story. But isn’t writing inborn? Answers Gupt, “That is an old concept and belief. Now writing skill can be developed, if one is persistent and keen. In most American universities, creative writing is one of the subjects just like any other.” He adds, “It’s true that one does not become an author overnight. But it can be developed.” The topics for writing were no less creative either. From ‘peace and non-violence’ to ‘I am the same’, it was actually an exercise in experimentation. A loud voice could be heard asking, ‘Do we have to create a scene first or start straightaway with dialogue?’ while another one was curious about the word and time limit. Meanwhile, the instructions continued, ‘write as much as you can, you have complete one hour’. Please do not disturb! On till today

Other than perfumes and architecture, what else is characteristic to France? The answer is its animation industry. We know it is not something people are aware of. But the fact that almost half-a-century back, when the meaning of animation here was limited to comics like Chahcha Chaudhary and Champak, France was already running a full-fledged animation film festival. Bringing home a share of their animation entertainment is French Embassy in collaboration with Alliance Francaise de Chandigarh through a five-day festival titled Resolutely Animated Film Festival. The festival beginning from Tuesday will showcase as many as 60 films. "These are short animation films. Everyday seven to 10 English-dubbed versions of movies will be shown depending on their time duration," says Isavelle Normand, director Alliance Francaise. The films to be showcased will include some made by renowned directors of France and some by newcomers. "The motive of the animation film festival is to encourage students studying animation. It is also the reason why we have short listed films by students for the festival here." Some of the popular animation films to be showcased here are We Are Not Machines, Break of Dawn and Kid Shiff. The movies will be screened at Alliance Francaise-36 - — Ashima Sehajpal

Just SMS
Hey, a message is great escape route. No wonder many people believe in dropping an sms rather than calling and listening to what they probably are trying to avoid. What's more, it could be a good evidence, if required. What say? Mehak Singla, working as a part time insurance agent at Sector 15, is always in the favour of writing a message, rather than making a call. "Honestly, a message helps me scuttle out of situations which would be difficult to face. I am not an escapist. At the same time, I feel an sms can save me from the immediate wrath. And after a while everything boils down to normal," he says. Ajay Mattu too swears on the umpteen benefits of smsing. "I have managed to wriggle out of untoward situations by dropping a message. Like for once, I couldn't make to my best friend's wedding and I knew, calling him would be a self-inflicted torture. Then I wrote a small sms and it worked. It didn't give cent per cent result, but still worked to my benefit," he laughs. If for some it is a good escape route, as it avoids the face-to-face contact, for others it works as evidence, which they can produce whenever needed. Take it from Chetan Sharma, a city-based physician, who avoided a break up with his girlfriend. And how? "Usual thing. I forgot to wish her on her birthday, but I remember smsing her. She was so furious that she decided to call it off. And then thanks to the good storage capacity of my Nokia N72, I showed her the message that I had sent her on her birthday. Baal baal bacha liya message ney," he laughs. "I am very particular about messages now. Official or unofficial, I believe heavily in messages." What are you waiting for...getting late for your friend's party, need an off from the office, forgot your sweetheart's birthday, or dying to speak your heart out...just sms. jasmine@tribunemail.com

The idea of a 'space elevator' could become more than sci-fi fantasy, courtesy the efforts of British scientists. A team of UK researchers has taken the first step on what could be a stairway to heaven. With the help of 2.7-million pound research prize from Nasa, Cambridge University boffins have created the world's strongest ribbon: a cylindrical strand of carbon that combines lightweight flexibility with incredible strength and has the potential to stretch vast distances. The breakthrough has been seized upon by the space scientists, who believe the technology could allow astronauts to travel into space via a cable thousands of miles long - a space elevator. According to the scientists, the advancement will revolutionise space travel. Such an elevator could potentially offer limitless and cheap space travel, they believe. The Cambridge team is making about 1 gram of the high-tech material per day, enough to stretch to 18 miles in length. "We have Nasa on the phone asking for 144,000 miles of the stuff, but there is a difference between what can be achieved in a lab and on an industrial level," says Alan Windle, professor of materials science at Cambridge University, who is anxious not to let the work get ahead of itself. — ANI

Kanishk Sinha, 30, and his wife Lipika, 25, chose to do something different from looking for jobs - they invented a fuel-less environment-friendly auto engine. "This engine is switched on by a chemical reaction between zinc and oxygen; hence it is pollution-free. This technology also increases the durability of the engine," Kanishk Sinha, chairman of the Jasper Motor Vehicle company, told. He said the engine can be used in cars as well as other vehicles like three-wheelers, apart from water pumps. "A water pump can run for five years without any interruption on this engine and a four-wheeler car can run 450,000 km," said Sinha, a native of Bihar. The young couple established the company registered in the US five years ago with Rs 1 billion (Rs.100 crore) raised from non-resident Indians. They got the engine patented with BigPatents India, a body supported by the Ford Foundation. All Jasper engines are manufactured in Washington as the company does not have a manufacturing facility in India. "We source all our engines from the US," Sinha said, but added he was looking for land in Bihar and West Bengal to set up a manufacturing unit in India. The couple has approached Kshiti Goswami, West Bengal's public works department minister, for land in Bardhaman district. Currently, Jasper has set up a 28-dealer network in Rajasthan, Bihar and New Delhi, and plans to add 15 more dealers in the next few months. It has begun testing waters in West Bengal and Assam. The company manufactures 15,000 engines a month, but Sinha is not planning to increase production immediately. "We will be focussing more on marketing now," he said. As part of the strategy to promote sales, the company will not tinker with the Rs 35,000 price tag. The couple is also planning to file a writ petition in the Calcutta High Court seeking permission to get the engine fitted on to the city's auto-rickshaws. — IANS

GEEK SPEAK
Consumer batteries recalled
The makeup of laptop
computer batteries
Ultimately, though, lithium-ion batteries are compact containers for a great deal of energy. As batteries become more powerful to meet consumers' demands, the extra stored energy can cause them to turn into potentially more dangerous component. The manufacturing process for lithium-ion batteries is quite delicate. It involves volatile elements and requires precise assembly. If any metal particles even microscopic comes into contact with other parts of the battery, an internal short circuit in the battery may result. Inadequately behaved metallic particles are the cause of which one of the largest battery recalls is attributed. Unless infected in this way, a lithium-ion battery will simply turn it self off when a short circuit occurs. If a battery is contaminated, however, a short circuit or increase in temperature can cause 'thermal runaway' a situation in which an increase in temperature causes a further increase in temperature and ultimately a destructive result. Because lithium-ion batteries are sealed systems and this heat energy must somehow escape, which can result in an explosion. Exploding laptop computer batteries have caused extensive damage to pieces of equipment and even human injury.
Lithiu m-ion batteries are safe
However, incidents of explosion and injury are very rare. Manufacturers have added important measures to keep lithium-ion batteries operating safely. Most batteries are equipped with dividers to separate individual cells, meaning that if one cell fails due to excessive heat, it will be restrained from spreading the heat and failure to additional cells. Manufacturers are constantly striving to improve manufacturing processes and add even more safety measures to laptop computer batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are, in the end, the most effective and safe laptop computer batteries on the market today. There are different types of laptop batteries available such as: Nickel Cadmium - NiCd batteries were the first rechargeable laptop batteries ever. Manufactures loved them because their cost was relatively low and they had a high output. You won't find Nickel Cadmium batteries being used anymore, due to them being heavier and not efficient as the newer laptop batteries then comes the Nickel Metal Hydride - NiMH can still be found all over the place particularly for older model laptops. The NiMH battery was also cheaper to produce. The only issue with them is that they can have a memory effect. Basically, if you don't fully discharge the battery, it can remember this and leave you with a less than perfect battery output. These
batteries are available in the market and are much cheaper and unsafe then Lithium-ion batteries so before replacing the battery pack check what you are being sold and always opt for Lithium-ion
batteries, don't compromise for the cost and if you do you will have to compromise the
performance too. amitpalsinghgrewal@gmail.com

"It's a do or die thing for me after 26/11. I don't feel like a Bollywood producer at the moment. I'm reacting as an Indian," Nadiadwala said. Post-26/11, the premiere of the Akshay Kumar-Kareena Kapoor starrer has become a show of strength for Nadiadwala as an Indian more than a producer. Invitations have been sent out to Sylvester Stallone, Brandon Routh and Denise Richards. "Let's just say I want my Hollywood team to come and erase 26/11 from Mumbai's tourist map. I'm going to leave no stone unturned to make sure Stallone and others go back with only the fondest memories of Mumbai. If six months ago I'd have laid out the red carpet for the Hollywood members of the cast, now I'm putting my entire production machinery and powers of hospitality on the block. The Kambhakt Ishq premiere is not about our entertainment industry any more. It's about Mumbai and India. I want Hollywood to come to Mumbai and taste our hospitality. Nothing has changed in the country. We're still as warm and welcoming as we used to be," said Nadiadwala.

"I have been associated with Plan India for the past three years. The NGO is involved in creating awareness about birth registration, working against child abuse, trafficking, education and rehabilitating deprived children," Kapoor said. I contribute to the humanitarian causes in every way I can. But, I always felt I was not doing enough. I donated my entire fee for Slumdog Millionaire to the NGO much before the film was released and appreciated, Kapoor added. "I think it is the good wishes and blessings of the children that were instrumental in the success of the film." The actor staunchly defends the film, that has been criticised in certain sections, for portraying the dark underbelly of Mumbai dirty slums and poverty. "Ours is a democratic country and every one is entitled to their views and opinions. The criticism comes from a minuscule section which need not be taken seriously," the actor who is "eagerly" awaiting the audience's verdict in India said. The film is a work of art. Let's stop being defensive about the reality. Slumdog.. is a rags to riches love story. It's a feel good film," he said. Asked whether the criticism was because a foreigner directed the film, Kapoor said, "The criticism has come because of its success." Slumdog Millionaire will hit silver screens across India on January 23. — PTI

Reality check
Known once as the Mast Mast girl of Bollywood, Raveena Tandon has been on a long sabbatical from movies after marriage and motherhood. She now faces the arc lights for Revathy's Just Aap Ke Liye and says she will accept films only if the roles suit her age.
"I am very realistic and do a reality check always. So, I want to do something that suits my age because now I cannot see myself doing some silly stuff," Raveena said in an interview. "I do not want my kids to feel embarrassed. I have to make them proud and that is why I want to do only selected movies," added the National Award winning actor. She refused to divulge anything about Just Aap Ke Liye. Raveena, 34, has joined the bandwagon of actors like Kajol, Juhi Chawla and Madhuri Dixit, who are full-time moms but don't mind facing the camera if the role is good enough and suits their age. "Thanks to the changing scene of the film industry, there are no more clichés attached to you being married. Now characters are churned out in such a way that if you fit the bill, you can prove your mettle irrespective of your age and marital status," Raveena said. "The media too deserves credit for this because they do not allow us to hide and are always interested in knowing about our whereabouts. This helps us in connecting with our fans, who want to see us back on screen," she added. Raveena bid adieu to filmdom after tying the knot with film distributor Anil Thadani in 2004. She is a proud mother of three-year-old Rasha and one-and-a-half-year-old son Ranbir. She says the two take all her time and running around them keeps her fit and slim. "I am a full-time mother and the whole day is spent running after my kids. This, in fact, has helped me get rid of my pregnancy fat. They are so active and full of energy that sometimes it gets very difficult to match their energy levels," she said. "It is a pleasure watching them grow and see their smiles and answer their out-of-the box questions," she added. Raveena also maintained that being a parent has taught her all those things that her parents used to preach. "Now I realise the importance of what my parents used to tell me when they would say that I will realise the importance of being a parent only when I become one. Being a responsible and a good parent is a tough job, but I am sure we will be able to teach them what our parents taught us, and impart all the values that can keep them grounded," she said. Last year, Raveena was the judge of the TV reality show Chak De Bachche on 9X, but right now she is taking it easy. Do you miss the fun-filled life of Bollywood? "Not at all... because most of the time then I was juggling between shoots and the studios, and dancing in leather pants under the hot sun," she said. The actor has worked in movies like Andaaz Apna Apna, Satta, Ziddi and won the National Award for her performance in
Daman. — IANS |

SRK first heard of the orphans - Muddassar (5) and Amina (3) from Dr Ali Irani, head of the Department of Physiotherapy and sports medicine at the hospital. The actor has donated Rs 50 lakh for the children's ward at the hospital in memory of his mother. Dr Ali, who is part of a team of doctors that treats children hit by disasters in Jammu and Kashmir, met the kids during one of his visits to Srinagar. Dr Ali said he knew he could ask the doctors to treat the children for free but there would be plenty of other expenses. "So, I just spoke to Shah Rukh," he said. The superstar also visited the hospital and promised to introduce them to his kids as soon as they were out of the hospital. Zubair, the elder cousin of the children said, "Amina keeps asking me if I have spoken with Shah Rukh and when is he going to take her to meet his daughter. She also plans to invite SRK's children Aryan and Suhana to Srinagar so that they can all play on houseboats." — PTI

For Michelle Obama, the task of dressing to please a nation will not be easy, especially a nation with a population as diverse, as judgmental and as addicted to YouTube as ours. But as a First Lady, that is Obama’s challenge. That superficial fascination with style combines with the stature of the First Lady’s position, the personal stake that so many folks have in the way in which this first African-American First Lady will be perceived.
Today is the day when all eyes will be on fashion's First Lady, Michelle Obama. As fashionistas the world over are assessing her style quotient, we at Lifestyle too check up with our fashion gurus, models and netas on their choice of the best dressed First Ladies and the most stylish women in Indian politics.

The message from his wife is flashed 'It ws expctd. Dnt tk 2 me. sty in the offce 4ever. Is that all? Whatever, for now Satish does not have to face his fuming wife, ready with a volley of abuses.
Laptop computers are everywhere these days. You can't sit in a coffee shop or travel on a plane without seeing at least a couple of people typing away on their laptops. The immense popularity of laptop computers and the demands of consumers have driven innovation and development in the technology for both laptops and the batteries that power them. Laptop computer batteries are smaller, lighter, and last longer than ever before. They are also safer. Older types of nickel-based batteries can explode if overcharged. New lithium-ion batteries do not run this risk.
If lithium-ion batteries are safer, why have we seen so many battery recalls in the news in the past few years? First of all, it's likely that manufacturers are simply taking a conservative approach to managing potential safety issues. Even a relatively low failure rate has caused a recall of millions of laptop computer batteries in India and abroad though a lot of such actions have gone unnoticed. To maintain consumer safety as their top priority and build confidence in their products, manufacturers often choose to recall their batteries rather than leave a problematic and questionable product in the market. As consumers, we should be genuinely reassured by this observation on the part of manufacturers. It assures us that they are also taking measures to improve manufacturing methods and the overall safety of the batteries to avoid recalls in the future.
