I know what you’ll read this summer!
Matter of
management
‘She’s not the ‘been there, done that’ example. “Honestly, I’ve never been that much into reading, but post-exams, I’m surely picking up a few suspense novels, detective stories, anything that has a mystery touch to them,” says Sonia Gupta, a CA aspirant. “I like to read a lot of books on time management also,” she says while pulling out one from the genre and taking her place by the side chair. Having penned three herself already, Sheeba Lamba, still hasn’t lost touch with reading. Academic head, Chitkara Institute, says, “My books are into publishing and not out yet, but as far as reading goes, I like to read management books.” A revelation for those who spelled reading with just Jane Austen classics or Victorian era fiction. As you read it
“It’s extremely important to inculcate the reading habit among children early on. Just thrusting children with storybooks isn’t going to work. It’s important to listen to what they’ve read, this engages them in the activity,” advises Indu Sharma, principal ITFT. She adds, “This is also a wonderful excuse for spending, otherwise unavailable, time with children in the family.” What is she herself catching up on? “Acting is my forte, I’ll be picking up plays by Vijay Tendulkar, and especially his Taj Mahal ka Tender, which was hilarious.” Those who’ve read it will nod vehemently. Classics all the way
What’s reading without classics? “I’ll be reading The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga and I’ll be re-reading Margaret Mitchell’s Gone With The Wind,” Neha Chawla, lecturer, Government College, is quite sorted. The lady, a self-confessed book lover, had two-three in hand, when caught up, “I like to read. It’s my hobby too and otherwise also, I keep reading.” Shares Neha, “Unfortunately, that hardcore healthy reading doesn’t exist, people would rather go swimming or spend time on the Net than read.” However, she feels, “Summers are actually the best time to keep a date with authors or introduce children to the literary world.” Which author are you dating! manpriya@tribunemail.com |

Little Krishna, big effort
The end product had to be nothing short of a magnum opus to justify why, if at all, it was experimented with, yet again. Especially, when we know everything, quite literally everything, about Bal Krishna — his miracles, friends, tales of butter theft, fights with demons… “There is much more to the wonders of baby Krishna than we all know of. That’s what makes this new series Little Krishna different and far more entertaining. Plus, look out for the animation quality, it doesn’t have any parallel in India,” claims Nina Elavia Jaipuria, senior vice-president and general manager, Nick-India. Hence, we were presented with a trailer in the city on Monday to feel the difference, which we did for sure. The look of animated characters, background music, the storyline, fight sequences, there’s a lot of difference between this and what we have seen in earlier series and films on Krishna. “Crafting the 13 episodes took a research time of seven years. Also, we’ve tried to meet the international animation standards, which we often attribute to the animation of the west.” The whole concept was a huge challenge. Ashish S.K. CEO, Big Animation Pvt. Ltd, the brain behind the series, says, “From creating all major characters to even small aspects like fire, water, trees, flowers, everything was worked upon extensively. Just the designing of Krishna took us more than a-year-and-a-half.” Helping us with information were ISCON and Indian Heritage Centre. “We wanted to present Krishna in a non-distorted form through a compelling narrative, quality animation, enduring characters. For this purpose, we took the help from various sources that could help us achieve our aim.” “We conducted a research that reaffirmed our belief that no other Indian mythological character has as much appeal as Krishna. Rather, we also showed the clippings to the kids from the West and they fell for him too.” The 5000-year-old story has been made gripping with the script coming from the international animation writer and Emmy award winner Jeffery Scott, who has to his credit Ninja Turtles and Dragon Tales.

Rote hue aate hain….
The last rites of 69-year-old Mehra were performed by his eldest son Sumeet at the Oshiwara crematorium in suburban Mumbai this afternoon. “An entire era of cinema passed away with him,” that’s how superstar Amitabh Bachchan remembered his mentor-director Prakash Mehra. Mehra, who passed away on Sunday after multiple organ failure, gave Bachchan his first success and the much-loved ‘Angry Young Man’ image through blockbuster film Zanjeer. The duo later delivered back to back hits like Laawaris, Muqaddar ka Sikander and Sharabi. “Prakash Mehra passed away early this morning. An entire era of cinema and my association with him passed away with him,” Bachchan wrote in his blog. Ironically, it was through Bachchan’s blog that the public first came to know about Mehra’s illness a fortnight ago. Bachchan and Mehra were one of the most successful actor-director duo in the 70s and gave some memorable hits together. “A long fruitful and incredible period of his remarkable films that he did with me, flashed past. His first meeting with me at Raj Kamal studio, where he had come to cast me in Zanjeer in 1971, right through to the mid 80’s, year after year of unbelievable successes,” the superstar added. It was widely reported that Mehra had a fallout with the actor after their last film Jaadugar failed at the box office, but the actor had dismissed the allegations in his blog. The actor described Mehra as a simple man who had the capacity to narrate great stories through the medium of cinema in the most simple manner. “No fuss, no calisthenics. Just very ordinary camera placements and extraordinary content. A writer, a lyricist, a musician, he added all these qualities to his creativity behind the camera and gave me some of my most challenging roles,” the megastar said. “Never rewarded by any institution. And never sought one either. His films have lived longer than him.” Bachchan said. “Critics panned his films and the greater the criticism the longer became their duration, at the box office,” Bachchan said. “Unko likhne do woh, jo bhi likh rahe hain, aur jahan bhi likh rahe hain. Main jaanta hun main unhe kahan likh raha hoon!,” he (Mehra) would often retort. A friend and a colleague, gone forever,” Bachchan concluded. — PTI

Turn of century
The Unbound Captives, to be directed by American actorMadeleine Stowe from her own script, will roll at the end of this year on locations in New Mexico and New Zealand. Amritraj, who runs the super-successful Hyde Park Entertainment, produced his first film Fleshburn in the 1980s. “‘The Unbound Captives’ will be ready for release by end-2010,” the Chennai-born producer told IANS in an exclusive interview in Cannes. “We hope to close all international pre-sales before this edition of the Cannes Film Festival ends.” Amritraj’s first film as an independent producer was the 1985 movie Nine Deaths of the Ninja. His 100th will star Hugh Jackman, Rachel Weisz and Robert Pattinson and will be “a sweeping period epic made in the style of David Lean film”. Stowe, the star of films like Stakeout, The Last of the Mohicans and The Magnificent Ambersons, wrote the screenplay in 2002 but could not get it to the screen earlier as a result of several false starts. “Russell Crowe was to play the male lead and Madeleine herself was being thought of as the female protagonist until she moved into the director’s role,” Amritraj said, recalling a part of the screenplay’s “extraordinary history”. He said: “I read the script on a plane back from India and was immediately struck by it. As soon as I got off the plane, I called Madeleine’s agent and the deal was done.” The film, Amritraj reveals, is set in the mid 17th century. At $90 million, it will be Amritraj’s biggest film to date in terms of scale and sweep. “We’ve assembled a truly great cast - Hugh Jackman is a huge box office draw, Rachel Weisz is being tipped for an Oscar nomination for her performance in Lovely Bones and Robert Pattinson is coming off the runaway success of Twilight,” he said. Around the time that Amritraj got started in Hollywood, Richard Attenborough’s Gandhi was the flavour of the season around the world. Twentyseven years on, as he embarks upon his 100th film, another British director, Danny Boyle, has captured the world’s imagination with the India-themed Slumdog Millionaire Amritraj agrees that there is a renewed burst of interest in India and that Indian filmmakers need to grab the opportunities that are now available. On his part, Amritraj is developing a couple of screenplays that would require extensive filming in the land of his birth. “We will soon announce a music-based film that will be shot entirely in India though the screenplay is being written by an American,” he said. Time for another Jai Ho then? — IANS

Baap re baap
French director Jan Kounen, whose latest film will be screened on the closing night of the 62nd Cannes Film Festival, is headed to India for his next project that may star Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan in the main leads.
Paris-based Manuel de la Roche, the producer of the proposed film, The Secret History of the Dalai Lamas, has Amitabh and Abhishek on his wish list and hopes to pull off a casting coup. The father-son duo were earlier seen together in the Bollywood movies Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and the Sarkar series. Their next is R. Balakrishnan’s “Pa”. “The film will trace the history of the Dalai Lamas all the way from the 14th century. It will blend dramatised re-enactments involving the earlier incarnations with excerpts from an interview with the current Dalai Lama,” de la Roche said. He also indicated that the producers would soon be approaching both Amitabh and Abhishek with acting offers for the upcoming production. “We are very keen to cast the father and son duo in key roles in the film. Sharon Stone (who is a practising Tibetan Buddhist) will step in as the narrator, while Hollywood star Richard Gere will also be involved with the project,” added Roche. Manuel de la Roche had also produced Kounen’s film on the life and work of Mata Amritanandamayi, Darshan - L’Entreinte (Darshan - The Embrace). It was screened out of competition in Cannes in 2005. De la Roche’s company Movie Sphere has joined hands with Berlin-based Integral Films for The Secret History of the Dalai Lamas. Both the Dalai Lama film and the feature-length documentary on Mata Amritanandamayi, who is popularly known simply as Amma, are offshoots of Another Reality — the television series on the diversity of world culture that Kounen and de la Roche had earlier collaborated on. According to de la Roche, The Secret History of the Dalai Lamas will be shot later this year in Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh and other parts of the Indian subcontinent. It will be ready for release in the second half of 2010. Dutch-born Kounen’s Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky is being screened as the closing night film at the Cannes.

Paris at Cannes
Shot while Hilton was recording her first album, ‘Paris’, it has
only been screened once before, at the Toronto Film Festival in 2006. Hilton was reportedly worried about how she was portrayed but last week agreed for it to be
shown with only one cut. The film debuted at the Toronto Film Festival last year, where William Morris Independent agency was selling it but, because of potential objections about distribution from the Hilton camp, it had not been screened since.But after getting a thumbs up from Hilton, the company is selling international rights
of the film at the Cannes Film Festival. — PTI |

The couple even skipped a big Bollywood party held by the Committee Of Indian Industries hosted by flamboyant industrialist Vijay Mallya on Saturday night at Cannes. “It’s a crucial election for us. And we wanted to be here when the results came in,” said Abhishek. The Bachchan family — Amitabh, Jaya, Abhishek and Aishwarya —- had made it a point to cast their vote in the elections held in Mumbai April 30. The rest of Bollywood’s Who’s Who that attended Cannes stayed back. On Fridayactor Tannishtha Chatterjee of Brick Lane fame, who is at Cannes to introduce her film Road, Movie directed by Dev Benegal, attended the premiere of Australian writer-director Jane Campion’s Bright Star. And the Indian actor was delighted to meet Campion. “I’m a big fan of all her works. To my delight she had seen my film and liked it. The night before ‘Bright Star’ I attended the premiere of the other big film Fish Tank, which is one of the hottest films this year in the competition section. Coincidentally, I had presented the best actor award to the Fish Tank hero Michael Fassbiner at Cannes last year,” said Tannishtha. — IANS

I think religious places of any faith are the best conservatories of both flora and fauna. You can find some rarest of rare kind of life living in peace without the fear of getting axed or killed. Our forefathers had that sight and immense love for wildlife, be it a plant or an animal. The best way they worked out was to associate these with one or the other God or religion. This lead to natural preservation over ages.
See the accompanying picture of Sita Ashok (Saraca indica). This indigenous tree with spectacular beauty of red and orange blooms is associated with Kama Deva, the God of Love. It is also believed that Sita lived under this tree in Ashok Vatika during the period of her separation in Sri Lanka. For Buddhists, nothing could be more sacred as Lord Buddha was born under the Ashoka tree. It is for this reason that it finds extensive plantation in monastery gardens. In Chandigarh, you can find it growing at the entry point of Terraced Garden in Sector 33. It flowers profusely during March-April. Even the foliage is very attractive, coppery red when it appears. Various Ficus species plants have religious value. Pipal (Ficus religiosa) is most prominent of all. You will hardly find any person removing a pipal tree even when it appears naturally on the rooftops. Bargad is another such tree that has religious appeal. But one of the most amazing trees of this family is Ficus krishanae, the Makhan Dona or Makhan Katori, also called Krishna’s Butter Cup. The leaves are very big and the leaf blade naturally turns backwards and fuses to form a natural katori, a la ice-cream cone at the back. Legend has it that Lord Krishna used to preserve his ‘loot’ of butter into the cup of this leaf and eat. The tree has immense curiosity appeal and can thus be grown at religious places and parks. One such huge tree exists in the Mata Mansa Devi temple complex, near the covered passage midway between two temples. Another tree associated with Krishna is Kadam (Anthocephalus cadamba). This is the tree on which He used to sit and play his magical flute. The tree was so revered that long stretches of its plantation were found on the bank of river Yamuna in Vrindavan, near Mathura. The tree bears very fragrant orange ‘balls’, its blooms. Another very curious religious tree is Shivlinga or Nagalingam (Couropita guianensis). This tree escaped extinction because it was planted outside temples in the South. The tree is named so because of the shape of its flower, which is a mix of pink, white and yellow. The ovary of the flowers stands like a Shivalingam and the numerous anthers bend on it like Sheshnaag, hence the name. The tree is also called Tope Gola as the size of the fruit is like a cannon ball, bigger than human head. satishnarula@yahoo.co.in |

Fountain of joy
On hot summer days, when everything around needs a splashing respite, lawn sprinklers can serve the practical purpose. They are perfect for keeping your garden well hydrated but also make for a garden shower party for your kids. Let that be in the background for a while though. Sprinklers are the lifeline of a garden. And knowing the size and type of your garden, finding a perfect match is not that difficult.
The most effective one is though the oscillating sprinkler that has multiple streams of water out of a tube that oscillates back and forth. They are available in corrosion-free stuff and brass mould tubes. Their popularity and utility to cover large areas makes them a little expensive, starting from Rs 400 onwards. Then there are pulsating sprinklers for more efficient watering. And, if you are looking for more coverage area then there are wheeled sprinklers or tractor sprinklers that need your assistance for hydrating your prized plants. They come with an increased height for wider coverage. Sometimes a good sprinkler adds another element to your garden— lawn art. With bright colours that they are available in, your lawn needs no other accessories. —TNS

Trim trick
Vandana Luthra, founder and mentor VLCC, said, “The WTTT has been developed for people who have a problem of weight around the waist and tummy. It’s been proven that women and men with a waist circumference of more than 80 cms and 90cms, respectively, are prone to diseases like diabetes, hypertension and other coronary heart diseases. She further added, “The ‘Waist and Tummy Trim’ treatment aims to improve the waist-hip ratio by reducing the waist circumference.”

Touch & tell
Scientists at Cambridge University have found that bees make use of small cone-shaped cells on flower petals, which act like ‘velcro’ on their feet, to stick to flowers and collect nectar. In a new study, the scientists have shown that bumblebees can recognise the texture of petal surfaces by touch alone, and they prefer landing on petals with conical cells that make it easier to grip, rather than on flat, smooth surfaces.
Having extra grip enables them to extract nectar from the flower more efficiently.
In the nature,bees can take visual or olfactory cues without needing to land on the flower and their ability to identify conical-celled surfaces by touch could be of limited use in terms of flower recognition. Led by Beverley Glover, the researchers wondered whether the conical cells could play a different role by providing better grip on an otherwise slippery plant surface, and thus make nectar collection easier for the bees.The researchers tested the above trait by using artificial flowers cast from epoxy resin, half with conical cells and half with flat surfaces. It was found that when the casts were horizontal, the bees showed no preference. — ANI |

“It is any day better than walking up straight to the girl,” laughs Abhishek Sharma, a student from Sector 26 and an avid blogger, who thinks that he has mastered the art of proposing on line. It is simple and safe. First, it saves you from the embarrassment of facing a blatant ‘no’. All you need is an id, send a nice card or tap in your feelings and send it across to her. Wait for the reply, if it is a yes, you have done it and if the answer is no, you are still saved because you didn’t have to face that moment. Abhishek tells us how some of his friends have been lucky with their online proposals, and are having a steady relationship. Most youngsters feel that it is the most comfortable way of putting across one’s feelings. The same activity in person could be killing, he adds with a puckish grin. As for Nikhil Yadav, who works for an MNC, he can’t stop thanking the inventor of the computer! “I could never think of proposing Aarti for the fear of rejection. Then a common friend suggested that I should drop her a mail. I did that and look it worked,” he proudly declares. This does not mean he didn’t have to wait with anticipation. “The only saving grace was that I didn’t had to look into her eyes,” he replies. When some sees this is a hassle-free way of putting across their feelings for some, it is an act of cowardice. For Smriti Chauhan, working a counselor with a Tech Learning Centre-24, “I am totally against the idea of proposing on mail. It just shows that the person does not have enough courage, besides, you never know whether the person is serious about the feelings or not.” In the end, it is all about expressing and how it is done is immaterial for most. Says Nikhil, “Almost all my friends feel that online proposing is a safe means of saying what you feel. I believe it is easier to pen down feelings than say them. Through an e-mail you can say your heart out.” jasmine@tribunemail.com

A stitch in time…
Once you bring your personal computer home from the store, there is no one around to offer basic personal computer maintenance tips for cleaning up and improving
One of the first files to become acquainted with your computer is System Tools located under the Start menu, then Programs, and Accessories. The System Tools houses basic maintenance tools like Disk Defragmenter, Disk Cleanup, Backup, Scheduled Tasks, and System Information and ScanDisk on some Microsoft Windows computers. Strange that these files are located in Accessories because they really are the key to keeping your system running correctly and helping to improve performance as the computer ages. On a regular basis you want to go to My Computer and then right click on the local disk (C drive) and open up Properties. This allows you to see how much space you are using and how much you have left to use on your computer. Under Tools in this area you can usually perform a scan of the disk. If you cannot run a disk scan from here, your Microsoft should have a disk scan available under the System Tools. It is important to run this disk scan to determine if there are any errors or problems running on your computer and the disk scan will repair those potential problems. Some experts recommend doing a thorough disk scan the first time and then a basic disk scan up to once a week to keep your computer performing at top conditions. After this it is important to regularly perform a disk cleanup, which is located either under Properties under the C Drive, or under System Tools. Be aware that both the disk scan and the disk cleanup can take quite a bit of time and it is best to before these maintenance tools when you will not be using the computer. Set a routine with yourself like performing the disk clean up and disk scan on Saturday night while you are watching movies with your family or are out with your friends. After a disk cleanup, it also helps to regularly perform a disk defragmentation. A computer hard drive will begin to fragment over time, which means that programmes that once worked in combination have become separated over time and may not be in the proper place to work well on your computer. This can slow down processes or make using certain programmes difficult. Using the disk defragmenter can pull together those pieces again and return things to working order. Basic maintenance routines that will ensure your computer runs at peak performance start with simply getting rid of files you do not use. If you have old word documents, software programs you have not used in a long time, or pictures and music you are not using, delete them from your computer. Remember that once you delete them, they do not automatically disappear, but instead go to the recycle bin and it is just as important to empty the recycle bin as it is to delete old files. Old Internet files can also cause your computer to slow down. Often with a Disk Cleanup there will be an opportunity for you to get rid of temporary Internet files, but you can also get rid of them on your own by going to your Temporary Internet files in Microsoft Explorer. Click on Tools, then Internet Options, General Tab, Temporary Internet Files, and Delete Files. As well, take time to clean out any other temporary files you may have acquired, like downloads from the internet. Depending on the model of your computer, the temporary files could be in different locations, but most often when you go to Disk Cleanup and scan there will be an option to get rid of temporary files as well. One of the other helpful and easy ways to maintain your computer’s performance is to always run your protection programmes, use a personal firewall when accessing the computer, and always install software updates available for Microsoft and protection programmes. Keeping up on regular maintenance and setting a routine for updates on the computer will ensure that your computer performs the way it was intended to when you first brought it home. amitpalsinghgrewal@hotmail.com
