Sari, sari lady
Only she can brave the winter chill to look stunning in noodle straps and a see-through black and golden sari. But then that's her signature style. Mandira Bedi loves her sarees and bling!
"I am in love with nine yards and don't mind a lot of bling on them. But I am subtle with my western outfits," she shares while flashing a perfect smile. In the city, to attend the second anniversary bash of Glimpse magazine, Mandira is high on life after the break, the ankle-break, we mean! "It feels great to be working again after three months of confinement following an ankle injury during Fear Factor - Khatron Ke Khiladi Season Two. I couldn't go out of the house; no TV and no travelling," she says. But, she did get out finally and celebrated the New Year in Singapore. Notwithstanding the injury, the show did make her year memorable. "I had an amazing time doing the most difficult stunts and stretching my limits. The only bad experience was the lack of good safety standards in India. I got injured in Mumbai while performing a stunt where I had to jump from a 15-ft high platform. We had no floor padding and were barefoot," she says. However, reality is still what she is hooked on to. "I was offered Big Boss, but the idea of blowing my nose every morning once I wake up in front of an Indian audience is not my cup of tea. In addition, I find the interaction between the inmates very boring after a while," she says. Mandira was also invited to share the experiences of her past life on Raaz Pichle Janam Ka. "I do believe that whatever happens in our life is connected to our past life. I have read Many Lives Many Masters by Brain L Weiss and am fascinated by such experiences. But my past or present life is not for national televisions," she shares. Enough of television for now, Mandira is busy with her next play Conditions Apply, which is to be staged at Cochin soon. "It's been a long time since I did theatre. My last play was Anything But Love, which completed over 150 shows. Conditions Apply is about two people who are not together but stay connected; things that we feel but never say. Darshan Zariwala is my co-star in it." |

Ishq ke jhagde
The two have teamed up for his latest album Jhagde and what a couple they make. "Rakhi ke bina maza nai ata. She is creative, stubborn, hardworking and hot. You just cannot ignore her," says the singer. Once you watch the title track 'jhagde' and 'bhoot', there is no doubt about the creative and crazy effort put in by both. "Both of us worked towards the album for three months. Rakhi learnt hip-hop, gymnastics moves and had her hair chopped. Jhagde is hip-hop grunge and 'bhoot' is shot in reverse with a lot of crazy things happening." But then, isn't that his brand? With Sawant now claiming to be all 'natural' and 'normal', his reaction is, "Rakhi has a beautiful mind. You don't need anything else." The professional hip-hop battle dancer and singer from Canada brought hip-hop tunes to Indian audience with his first album Hip Hopper and then Daaku Daddy. Rapping in Hindi, Punjabi, English and French, he gave a taste of the global community to the Indian audience, never mind the lyrics. "I make love songs, with a new angle. Hip Hopper was a maid's love story, Daaku Daddy is about a lover asking his girlfriend's father to stay out of their lives and Jhagde too is about love. The presentation may be different from others." His stint in Bollywood too has been a handful, with Bipasha Basu and Mallika Sherawat being some of the names he has worked with. "My ultimate goal is to become a music director. I studied Pritam, Vishal-Shekhar and Himesh Reshamiya's works and composed over 150 songs last year. All my energy will now be on selling my music and pushing hard to create my niche in Bollywood. I want to become one of the top five music directors in the industry in the next three years." About working with Miss Pooja, he says: "She is phenomenal, I think she is really cool. I would like to work with her and even have a song ready for her - Saali Mirch," he says. Another thing that he is game for is weird reality shows, "From eating bugs to living in wild, I can do anything that doesn't need brains." nehawalia@tribunemail.com |

As dark as it gets
Will all the real dim, shady places please turn up? Lounge, resto-bar, disc, nightclub or whatever, does nomenclature even matter? Talk of unwinding at the end of the day and everyone seems to prefer the 'dark side of things'.
Where no one can see anyone, everyone can eye anyone and no one will know what you are upto! Never mind; if can't read through the menu, locate the right table, reach up till the seat or even spot your spouse…it's better to be dim than dull. We go and do some searching for the rationale behind the turned off lights at city's hangout spots. Is anything spooky going on behind the shady interiors? Explains Anil Sharma, operations manager, Hangout-35, "See, if you were to go by the logic side of it, darkness reduces mental stress. Even when a person meditates, he does so with closed eyes so that he cannot see anything around. Moreover, the music that we use is rhythmic; it's not heavy pulsating music of the clubs. It is basically for mental peace." And what of social peace? Doesn't darkness bring out darker desires? He says, "We allow no stags, there are four in-house bouncers who keep moving around and watch out for anything fishy going around." For the couples deep in each other's eyes, it's good if no one can 'see through'. As for the rest, aren't children afraid of the dark, while men generally duck for cover from the lights? Shares Vandana Nagpal, interior designer, "Dimly lit places make the ambience more comfortable and give a sense of privacy to the entire set-up. These trends generally don't last long unless people take to it. It depends on the preferences of individuals frequenting the place." For those who don't wish to be bothered about what the table next to them has ordered, this is it. The fact that there's mystery in the murky is a given. And who's undermining the romance angle? Who associated the concept with all things dingy or dreary? As for the logistics, says Anil, "We have red green blue combination of lights, which are by nature not bright. If you want the place to be adequately lit yellow and white lights are generally used. For the menu card we've used bright black on white glowing paper that takes care of legibility." Shares Mannika, PR manager, Black Magic, resto-bar, "I wouldn't say we have pitch dark interiors but yes the entire set-up is dimly lit. We have an eagle chandelier that changes colours from red to blue to things like that." She adds, "It's all for giving a soothing touch and in our visitor's book people do appreciate the ambience." Let's go some place…dark. manpriya@tribunemail.com |

Painting the HOUSE pink
TIPTALK
Custom made Sukhmani Bhori, interior and landscape designer from 38 West, shares, "Thanks to modern printers that can print on paper as well as fabric, you can personalise almost everything in your home. So, you can have wallpaper with your favourite photograph from vacation to bedding that has family pictures on the blankets, sheets and pillow covers.
One of the advantages of being an Army officer's wife is that you get adept in setting up a house. And, Manveen and Brig D. S. Grewal's house perfectly showcases that. Another thing that stands out in this one kanal house is the personal touch of the lady in every corner.
A painter, embroider and a lady with green fingers, Manveen's art gets reflected amply in this five bedroom house. A huge carpet that was picked up from Nigeria stands out in the living room. Manveen's glass paintings act as screens and door panels. The beauty of these glass paintings is that they come out the most striking when light reflects from both the sides. Every room is colour coded. The master bedroom has everything in pink. The blue guestroom has a blue bathroom to go with. Manveen and her children have created a beautiful bathroom slab with blue marbles. Master bedroom's pink window is special, for it has all the knick-knacks gifted to Manveen by the children and all the things special to her hung there. "This window opens at the road. For privacy, instead of the usual curtains, I have all things that have been important to me like my daughter Akshpreet's kaleera, her bangles, cards and little gifts from my son Bipin decorated here." A fibreglass dome provides ample light to the winding staircase. This area houses the Swarovski collection of the Grewals and has a little aquarium, some greenery in potted plants and glass paintings of countryside, water scene and a dragon complete the picture. Another thing that stands out is flickering lights in different corners. "Theses light really cheer you up in the evening," says Manveen. "Our home is livable, so all the delicate pieces are in glass cabinets, there are open spaces, kids are free to roam around without the fear of breaking
anything," she adds. Manveen's art decorates every corner of the house. So, if the living room has a large glass painting with peacocks, countryside painting sits pretty in informal living area, bathrooms have flowery lampshades and kitchen has vegetable and fruit pictures.

Dazzling divas were spotted at their dapper best, caring a hoot about the freezing temperatures, some brave ones even flaunting their skin. The celeb guest list included Mandira Bedi, who was accompanied by her mom, Ishq Bector and Stereo Nation. DJ Pari lent a surreal air to an enchanted evening with her rocking remixes, the bar buzzing and flutes going around as fast as the air-kisses, the party was in full flow. — TNS

Silk route
The confirmation comes from S.L. Jain, senior executive, Silk Mark Organisation of India (SMOI), "Just four countries manufacture silk and the supply can never outdo the demand." Justifying the claim is the fact that people once again are going for to natural fabrics. "Besides cotton, silk and wool, all other fabrics are chemically made, most of these not being skin friendly," he says. The Ministry of Textiles, after revamping the Khadi industry, now aims to repeat the success story with silk. "The SMOI helps weavers do business with traders and get them the optimum price for their work. It is a platform that aids traders to do business with exporters, all in the bid to revive the silk industry," adds Jain. The SMOI also sets the quality standard for all the silk products. There are over 90 lakh Silk Mark labeled products approved by the SMOI in the market. The organisation has 1,400 weavers as members and aims to reach out to more weavers who aren't paid a fair price for their work. The Silk Mark expo, beginning this Tuesday, will see participation of weavers from 15 states. Also, the silk costumes were showcased at a fashion show, The Silken Splendour, held at Tagore Theatre.

Tracking your car
Whether the inbuilt global positioning system or the automatic jammers, security indeed is an issue everyone takes seriously. And, on offer at the Expo were innovative security gadgets that guarantee the safety of the car as well as the driver. Amanbir Sekhon, a Mohali-based businessman who checked out the latest car models at the auto expo, couldn’t help marvelling at the security set up in the Mercedes-Benz. “Safety and comfort are the two important considerations with the makers. Adaptive brake lights, upgraded command system, driving-assistance package, safe distance guiding device etc. All these provide the much-needed safety to the driver as well as the car,” he says. Amanbir also shares how ‘trekkers’ in cars are the latest safety gadget. “The trekker has a boot password. Only the driver knows it and at any point of time the car can be jammed.” An Audi, a Merc, a BMW or a Maruti 800, drivers’ safety is of utmost important for the car manufacturers now. Taking this into account, Valeo has developed a detection system that combines camera, senor and radar technologies, which enhance road safety. “Multi-camera system is yet another safety device installed in most of the new car models,” shares Puneet. “The small cameras inside the car capture images of other vehicles passing by, which gives a fair idea to the driver about what is going on the road.” Taking security systems a step ahead are the radars, which determine the speed, distance and direction of other vehicles. Avers Satbir Singh Dhanoa, a Patiala-based rallyist, who relies completely on the global positioning system: “A lot depends on how it is used. Most drivers do not have an idea about how a GPS functions and can be used as a perfect security device.” jasmine@tribunemail.com |

Yeti is here
Skoda AutoIndia lifted the veil off its international bestseller SUV Yeti for the first time in India at the 10th Auto Expo 2010 in New Delhi. Reinhard Fleger, member of the board, sales and marketing, SkodaAuto and Thomas Kuehl, member of the board, sales & marketing, SkodaAuto India celebrated the extension of Skoda’s model range to five in India with the unveiling of the soon to be launched Yeti.
According to Reinhard Fleger, member of the board, sales and marketing, Skoda Auto, “The Indian automobile industry continues to be among the most promising car industries across the globe and it shall continue to grow in the coming year backed by an estimated GDP growth of about 7 per cent. Skoda has a share of around 25 per cent in the mid size segment where we have operated since the last 9 years. We have aggressive plans for the Indian market and aim to emerge as a major player in the Indian automotive industry’s growth story. The Yeti is an integral aspect of this plan.” Speaking at the unveiling, Thomas Kuehl, member of the board, sales & marketing, SkodaAuto India, said, “The highly agile Yeti is compact, attractively styled with excellent handling characteristics and is bound to create a stir in this segment with the potential of having a cult following. The 4×4 variants are also characterised by outstanding off-road capability and excellent traction. These, coupled with superb emission values and low fuel consumption meet the needs of a socially acceptable SUV. I am very confident that the Yeti, with its intrinsic Skoda values combined with our growing network expanse across India, will fuel fresh energy in this segment contributing to the overall growth.” An impressive front end, with a ribbed grille and friendly looking headlamps confidently demonstrate Yeti’s bonding in the Skoda family. Sturdy flanks and distinct wings give Yeti its robust and solid look. Skoda has met the demands for a cleanly styled body, a high seat position and versatile operating options with a design, which along with its sturdiness, exudes lightness. The Yeti meets the needs for environmental care, luggage space, and safety norms. Yeti’s overall length allows drivers to fit into parking spaces that are far from generous, while its width guarantees that the doors can be opened wide in tight spots. And if the terrain becomes rough and more challenging, the slim stature of the Yeti always finds a gap to get through.

Vehicle-based electronic devices are nothing new, but no existing in-car or mobile car computer has ever been launched in India for normal cars or SUVs till date. However, the versatility of a “carputer” is better than any other multimedia device.
Dedicated Vehicle PC
The PC is never handled by the user, which reduces the risk of accidental damage to almost zero. The only parts of the system that are handled by the user are the display and wireless keyboard and in the unlikely event that these do fail, they can be swapped for replacements very rapidly. All programmes, data and settings remain on the PC itself. A copy of your HDD remains permanently in the vehicle because it is completely out of sight and can be attached to the vehicle chassis using anti-theft bolts, if necessary. Therefore it is much less likely to be lost or stolen. Screens are either made to look part of the vehicle or are very easy to remove. PC market offers a very wide range of display sizes from 6.5” to 15” and beyond, including sunlight readable versions. Screens are extremely easy to upgrade in the future. Touch sensitive screens can be mounted at various places in the vehicle. These include:
At present the standard vehicle PC can feature processors up to an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz, with hard drives up to 500 GB (this is still an understatement). If need be, these can be upgraded. “Carputers” have to be professionally installed as powering up a computer in a car is more complicated and technical, particularly the wiring, as compared to an office or a home desktop PC. Full-size compact wireless and folding QWERTY keyboards Touch sensitive displays Voice recognition for rapid dictation of documents or emails ‘Carputers’ are fully integrated into
the vehicle: Turn on and off automatically with the vehicle ignition Play sound over the vehicle sound system Perform driver-related functions such as navigation and hands-free phone control A docking station is also in the process of development, which will allow the PC to be rapidly removed from the vehicle if required, so that it can be used in an office or home or as a standard desktop PC. amitpalsinghgrewal@gmail.com |

GizmOH!
Busy shaping his destiny, Ashutosh, shares a few tech details! Necessary Evil: “The only reason I carry a mobile phone is because I cannot live without it. In addition, I see it as my only connection with the outside world. Given a chance and left to myself, I can live without it.” Nothing Social About It: “There are better things in life than wasting my time on social networking sites. As I told you, if I want to be in touch with friends and fans I do it in my own way. I cannot relate to the concept of sharing personal information on Twitter or Facebook. I created an email account two days back, so you know how much of a tech-freak I am.” Speed Thrills: “I drive a Karizma bike. As long as it serves the purpose, I don’t intend to buy a car.” Whacky Invention: “Give me all the time in the world. I don’t think I can still ever come up with any invention.” |

Spade work
There is a wide range of plants that have coloured or variegated foliage. This may come from a class of shrubs, climbers or even trees. But nothing can match the indoor foliage plants or bulbous plants that are valued for colourful foliage. One of the most-liked and hardy plant is caladium. See the accompanying picture. It is grown from ginger-like rhizomes. The plant is sensitive to cold weather. The rhizomes are planted at the time of receding of winter. The foliage starts appearing immediately thereafter. The leaves appear as if coming from the soil and have different hues and colour pattern. Some of these are heart shaped with a red centre. A bunch of these could be a good theme display for heart institutes. There is a wide range of foliage patterns. Some are with yellow stripes and others with colour-spray foliage. These can be planted in pots too and whenever required could be kept indoors for a few days. These should, however, not be placed in hot sun as the foliage may get damaged due to sun scald. The plants live and give colour from February to November. Thereafter it dies. You can leave the rhizomes in soil. They keep lying there hibernating. As and when the weather warms up, they start coming out of soil, to spread colour. The plants are very hardy and can be grown in shade and under minimal water conditions. While talking about rhizomatous caladium, another beautiful rhizomatous plant that is known for beautiful foliage and flowering is begonia. The rhizomatous begonia bears flowers only in high altitude areas. However, under certain conditions like that of Dehradun, which is cool and humid the rhizomes oblige with beautiful blooms. The bulbous begonia bears excellent, showy and bold blooms that come in striking and sparkling colours. All the begonias that you see in plains bear almost similar kind of blooms that appear in bunches and are pink in colour. They are not as bold or as colourful as that of their brethren species. These are valued for their foliage. There is a wide range of foliage colour and texture. Most of these need protection from sun as the colour of foliage fades with exposures.

Picks & piques A terribly outdated storyline, unconvincing plotting and clichéd romantic entanglements make Dulha Mil Gaya a film that is not even worth the telling! In fact, the only arresting bit about the film is it’s location-the sun-kissed Carribbean isles! The storyline is inspired from several Hindi films before it (notably Biwi Ho Toh Aisi, ‘Dulhan Wohi Jo Piya Man Bhaye) and the plotting is distinctly of the Dilwale Dulhaniyan Le Jayenge and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi variety but the film does not have the charm, the music, the actors or the conviction to achieve the hit status of the former two, leave aside the mind-boggling returns that the latter two achieved. Borrowing liberally from past successes is an old Bollywood trick and it has worked for some (Main Hoon Na) but you need to have that tongue-in-cheek mocking tone to be able to pull it off. DMG has none of that. The characters involved in the story even have weird monikers. Fardeen is called Donsai, Susmita is Shimmer and Shah Rukh Khan is PRG and it all sounds pretty ridiculous. Susmita plays a diva, a supermodel style queen who in the plot appears to be so out of work that she is busy plotting a makeover for her protégé (newcomer Ishita Sharma) who was abandoned by her husband Donsai (Fardeen) even before the ink could dry on the marriage register. Poor thing, waits eagerly for three months and then boards a plane from Punjab to the Carribbean, literally bumps into the bleeding heart diva who decides to take her under her wing to teach Casanova Donsai a lesson in love. The silliest bit is yet to come. PRG is the biggest industrialist the isles have ever seen and he is hopelessly in love with the diva, who doesn’t appear to have any time for him — and we have got to believe that she loves him. Is the modern world as hackneyed and illogical as our Bollywood filmmakers want us to believe? And, why would anyone fund such a project, especially one by a newcomer (Mudassar Azziz) who neither has the talent, style or chutzpah to pull-off such an illogical story? Shimmer is not a character any actor worth her salt would want to play and coming after a horrendous line-up of box-office disasters like Do Knot Disturb, Karma, Confessions and Holi, Zindagi Rocks and Chingari –she appears to be a sinking ship right now! Shah Rukh Khan is completely wasted and Fardeen never did learn the acting skills to become an actor. Only newcomers Mohit Chadha, who plays Jigar and Ishita Sharma, who has the meatier role of Donsai’s wronged wife, show-off some sprightly sparks.

High flier
He starred in Khalid Mohammed’s Fiza but it failed to repeat the success of his debut film. Later Subhash Ghai’s Yaadein, Yash Raj Films’ Mujhse Dosti Karoge!, Arjun Sablok’s Na Tum Jaano Na Hum and Vikram Bhatt’s Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage failed to make an impact at the box office and were declared flops. But he bounced back with the super successful Koi...Mil Gaya in 2003 where he played a mentally disabled young man. It was the highest grosser of the year and won him many awards. “Hrithik Roshan dominates the show and packs in a power-packed performance. The role of a mentally challenged person is no cakewalk, but the actor takes to it like a fish takes to water. He manages to pull off the zero to hero routine exceptionally well. As an actor, he scales dizzier heights with this splendid performance,” film critic Taran Adarsh had said when the film released. The actor then went on to give blockbusters like Krrish, Dhoom 2 and Jodhaa Akbar. Filmmaker Subhash Ghai said, “I have seen Hrithik grow from a newcomer to a big star today. He has achieved his stardom sheerly on his hard work and passion for his films.” After just a cameo last year in Zoya Akhtar’s Luck By Chance, the actor will be seen in the much-awaited Kites in May. Described as a truly international film, Kites tells the story of a young con-man who lives life in Las Vegas, always ready to make fast money in any way possible. — IANS

Gimme a break
A beauty and the geek love story, Pyaar Impossible is just another variation on the done-to-death theme. Uday Chopra who has been credited with the script and dialogues plays the ugly geek Abhay who is in love with Priyanka Chopra’s beauteous Alisha Merchant persona.
It’s a case of unrequited love nurtured for seven or so long years and then opportunity strikes when divorced single mom Alisha hires the geek as the nanny for her truant child. Now that Abhay is close at hand he can do everything to convince the beauty that he is the man for her! Jugal Hansraj (Roadside Romeo) tries his hand at romance and manages to give us just a few satisfying moments. His narrative though is just a bit too much of a Chachi 420 to be entirely interesting. Uday looks the part but lacks conviction in performance while Priyanka manages to do justice to a role that really doesn’t do anything to up the ante on her acting credentials. Salim Suleiman’s music also follows the Yashraj trend of late- immediately forgettable! You’d do well to take a break from the theatres this
week! Johnsont307@gmail.com |

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan and his son Abhishek were honoured with the best jodi award for their chemistry in Paa at the STAR Screen Awards. Amitabh played Abhishek’s son who suffers from progeria, a disease that accelerates the ageing process. The father-son duo also entertained the audiences at the event Saturday by doing the Auro dance at the behest of their hosts Shah Rukh Khan and Shahid Kapoor. After Shah Rukh’s repeated request, Big B and Abhishek danced on the Paa number and Shahid and Shah Rukh too tried to match steps with them. In all, Paa won five awards including best actor award for Amitabh, best actor female for Vidya Balan, best child actor for Pratik and best supporting actor female for Arundhati. — IANS

Crazy, weird, loud…that's what one would like to believe Ishq
Bector to be. Just add creative to the list and what you believe in is actually true.
The hip-hopper, who really stands out when it comes to being wacky, is busy promoting jhagde and lafde with another of his kind, Rakhi Sawant.
For a change, Vidya Balan won't be criticised for what she wore at the last Screen Awards. That's because she followed Rekha's dress code, a Kanjivaram that is always in vogue. Over a dozen man-made fabrics are no threat to silk either, even if the fabric's popularity has dipped in the past few years.
Swanky, sleek, small, big, eco-friendly, fuel-efficient … the Auto Expo 2010 had more than a handful on offer; but what grabbed the attention of the ‘serious car buyers’ was the security set up in all the new models.
Says Puneet, a city-based businessman who uses a jammer in his car: “Comfort, fuel-efficiency and price are secondary factors. For me, a car should be well-equipped with all the necessary security devices. I use a touch sensor to open my car, therefore, there is absolutely no hassle of carrying the keys.” 
A wide range of data input methods are available. These include:
The winner of Bigg Boss Season 2, Ashutosh cannot relate to flashy gadgets, for he sees them as utilitarian items that have made life lethargic. “I don’t like splurging on state-of-the-art gadgets, until and unless I think I will not be able to survive without them.”
Who does not want colour in life? Gardening provides ample opportunity to add colour. The winter season is specifically liked for that, as there is wide range of winter blooms to give colour to the garden. But these are short lived. You lose colours abruptly. Then there is a gap period. In the summer, there is not much of variety to choose from. Then what is the alternative? Go in for coloured foliage plants whether permanent kind or even short-lived ones.
Greek god, perfectionist, electrifying, the adjectives people use for Hrithik Roshan are aplenty as the actor completes a decade in the industry and turned 36 on Sunday. While he became an overnight star with Kaho Na Pyaar Hain, his career has indeed been a roller coaster ride.
