Bathe in style
Walk into Kohler-26 showroom and you will readily agree that the state-of-the-art in bathrooms has finally arrived. Digitally controlled bathing cubicle on display at the showroom costs between Rs 1-25 lakh, depending on the degree of indulgence you seek. The small, innocuous-looking cubicle can simply be bought and planted in a corner of your bathroom. Available in two ranges, normal and chromotherapy, you can enjoy a soothing bath in the latter one. Thanks to the adjustable water pressure mechanism, you can even have your body massaged and listen to music. Besides the exotic cubicle, the showroom also stores jacuzzis as well as other bathroom accessories — very unique-looking wash basins, stylish taps, shaving and make-up mirrors and so on. They are not only glamourous, but also tastefully done. When you look at the wash basins in the showroom, you begin to believe that the days are surely gone when our idea of fine aesthetics did not extend beyond toilet seats and the like. Available are designer basins in varied patterns and colours. Starting from Rs one lakh onwards, these designer basins are sure a show stealer! And there are people around who don't hesitate to spend a few extra thousands for glamourous bathrooms! With Colonial and Victorian bathrooms in his house, Navjot Randhwa, DPR, says, “Bathrooms should always be big, well-lit and beautiful. We chose Colonial and Victorian style for ours.” With a past experience of construction business, he adds, “I have also worked as a builder and it’s the bathroom and the kitchen that women see first, so I guess investing here is a good idea.” Having picked bathroom accessories for his house from Delhi and the city, he says, “People are ready to spend on bathrooms as it is a place to be showcased these days.” With sprawling bathrooms, Abhishek Bajaj’s (owner Sindhi’s-17) house in Sector-18 is fitted with every accessory you can ask for. From stream showers to fully loaded jacuzzi, shower cubicles, Spanish tiles and solar panels to give you hot water 24/7, the bathrooms are fitted with FM radios as well. Says Abhishek, “We wanted nothing but the best in our house and when it came to bathrooms, nothing but the best would do. Since one cannot keep adding new things to the bathroom, we chose the latest and the best.” And if you want more, check out the showrooms in Sector 26. Says an employee of Aggarwal sanitary ware in Sector 26, “Gone are the days of white, grey and blue tiles or bath tubs; today we have a range of goods for a luxurious bathroom. From jacuzzis to bath cubiles loaded with umpteen things, you name it and we have it.” jigyasachimra@tribunemail.com |

Vertical limit
Action, adventure, adrenaline rush…Rajwant Singh keeps it all in alphabetic order. This software engineer is no geek, but adventure seeker who has his own way of getting high on life. Living on the ‘wilder’ side, he challenges his own guts every time he goes behind the wheel; whether it’s making a debut at the recently concluded ‘Raid de Himalayas’ or entering the Limca Book of Records for the fastest driving from Indo-Pak border to the Indo-China border!
An expedition from Hussainiwala in Ferozepur on the Indo-Pak border to Chishul on Indo–China border by road, covering a whopping distance of 1237 km in just 53 hours and 45 minutes, earned him a place in the Limca Book of Records in 2006. “We were on some of the highest roads, 16,000ft to 13,000 ft; non-stop and driving on tracks that had two stones on the left and two on the right. We had no time to acclimatise and had to take permission from Army authorities. Then there were land mines near the Indo-China border.” That too on a Tata Safari! Phew…dangerous! But that is just what gives him thrills. Rajwant is also into nature photography, diving, trekking etc. “All thanks to my friends. We have been into adventure stuff for long now. We keep a track of places that are unexplored; outbacks, hostile places and then set out with all our equipment and essentials intact,” he says. His car has a permanent stock of food, medical supplies and oxygen cylinders. But along with adventure comes the side effects. “It does get tiring after some time. You have to be fit and prepared for such long, tough distances. We have to take precautions like maintaining a good diet, drinking lot of water for more RBC count and high physical endurance levels.” Next on his agenda is Desert Storm. “We are still on the lookout for sponsors, as this is an expensive sport. But nonetheless, another feat won’t hurt.” Sure, no pain, no gain! nehawalia@tribunemail.com |

CRACKing effect
Zorro (4) is a Pit Bull Terrier with Russian bloodline and reared for bull fights. Otherwise a fighter, Zorro does not want to leave Priya’s lap around Diwali, courtesy, the noisy crackers.
Many like Zorro have the worst time of the year around Diwali when people are busy enjoying crackers, which are anything but fun for the pets. Yet, there are some families that make sure that their pets cope well with this festive spirit. Neha Bajaj from Sector 18 is going to take two-year-old Mojo, a Cocker Spaniel, for an early evening walk on Diwali. “Mojo is a very docile dog who runs the moment he hears a cracker. So our plan for the big day is to take him for a walk early. And, then he is going to be indoors while I keep him company,” says Neha. Sweety, an interior design student from Mohali, says she along with her pets Saber (Labrador) and Ceaser (German shepherd) are not moving out on Diwali. “They are so scared that they take cover under the bed, but I will keep them in good humour by giving them company on Diwali,” says Sweety. Things are getting difficult for six-year-old Candy, a Pomeranian. “Candy just hates Diwali. On that evening she refuses to budge from under the bed and refuses to eat or drink anything,” says Shakila Sharma, a homemaker from Sector 42. “I still make sure that there is water and food near her all the time,” says Sharma. It’s going to be first Diwali for Champ (Labrador) and he seems to be in safe hands. “We really don’t use crackers that are loud. For safety sake we will keep Champ inside,” says Punita Singh, who along with her kids Akshay and Aashita, believes in pollution-free Diwali. Interestingly, Jojo (2), though hates crackers, barks at them and wants to catch each chakri that’s lighted by kids in the family. “No celebration is complete without kids and pets. Though my pets hate all the noise of Diwali, all is accepted lest they shoo away Maa Lakshmi,” laughs Priya. The only thing that these pets look forward to on Diwali is sweets, which is their weakness. “I would love to indulge them, but then keep it in moderation,” says Priya. And, that’s what Dr Rakesh Jain from Dog Specialist, Sector 4, Panchkula suggests. “Sweets are bad for pets. We recommend you keep them indoors during the peak hours of Diwali.” “If the pets get really nervous, one can also go for sedation prescribed by a veterinary doctor,” he suggests. mona@tribunemail.com

PEACEnik
Art, categorically speaking, should and does often reflect the artist’s mind. It’s a visual presentation of social, emotional and psychological elements. Most importantly, it’s a representation of reality weaved aesthetically by the strings of imagination. But that is not what Imobi Sharma’s paintings are about. Instead, his paintings are a subtle form of aggression, a message depicted by a dash of colours. Call them divine, peaceful and meditative, but that is just a superficial observation, “The most important element of my works is peace; inner and outer. Back home, in Manipur, that is what we need the most,” says the artist.
Peace and tranquility on canvas is his way of sending out a message. Religious figures like Krishna-Radha and symbol of peace, Mahatma Gandhi, in his works speaks out his mind, loud enough to take notice of the fact. A look through his 20 paintings exhibited at Café Nomad-7, and one finds no disturbing elements. His themes are visible in his works like Mother and child — bond of affection, Krishna Radha and Peace underwater. More than that, it depicts the ethos and simplicity of the north-eastern lifestyle. Moving out of the circle of landscapes (given the natural beauty bestowed upon the Seven Sisters) and tribal art, Imobi believes artists from northeast need to break free. “We are strong with our cultural and folk art. The works are being appreciated and recognised the world over, but the political problems that mar the state are responsible for the lack of exposure to modern art,” says Imobi, albeit he uses contemporary techniques and his penchant for bright, vibrant colours to shed the serious tag. So does he somewhere describe himself through his works? “Well, maybe. I don’t like to talk much and keep to myself. I need peace around me when I work,” he says. So, we started on the right note.

LIVE-in decoded
That's how you differentiate a fling from a serious relationship, and that's how a one-night stand (that might extend to a few weeks) differs from a proper live-in relationship. Before the Supreme Court came out with the significant ruling - that not every live-in relationship can be categorised as a "relationship in the nature of marriage" - there was hardly any distinction. And it precisely meant that there was a scope for 'palimony' in relationships that enjoyed the tag of 'live-in'. As for explaining the term palimony, it's similar to alimony that the dependant partner is entitled to. Ranjan Lakhanpal, advocate and chairman, World Human Rights Protection Council, welcomes the ruling that comprises five parameters for a relationship to be 'recognised' as live-in. "Now, when the Indian society has accepted live-in relationships, a clear definition of it was required." He feels the conditions of the live-in will strengthen society. "People can't just stay together for a few days and then file suits against each other, wasting precious time of courts. Also, it will lend stability to society. Once people know there are certain restrictions, they will work hard to make a relationship work." Inducted as a provision in the Domestic Violence Act, 2005, live- in relationships needed more clarity. Says Rajesh Gill, a city-based sociologist, "People could misuse the provision by claiming right to maintenance even when they weren't serious about the relationship. It could, in fact, dilute the significance of legalising the live-in status." On the other hand, she feels, it will further help women claim their rights. "When a couple will stay as husband and wife in society, they will be entitled to all rights given to married couples." She feels the conditions should have been laid at the time when live-in relationships were legalised. Still, it is never too late: "Maybe, it was after practically dealing with the complications of suits filed in the courts that the lawmakers realised the importance of the definition of live-in." Any relationship given the status of live-in, irrespective of the period the couple have been staying together, defeated the very purpose of it. Says Kanchan Malhotra, a lawyer in district courts, "Live-in relationships were recognised because the society gradually understood the need for them. Under the strong influence of the West, not everyone accepted the model of marriage. Also, unnecessary disputes were avoided. But to ensure that people don't misuse the provision, parameters are welcome." It has also cleared the definition of domestic partner. Says Hemant Kumar, advocate, High Court, "There was a lot of confusion as to who's entitled to be known as a live-in partner. The ruling has done away with the confusion." Hope it has! ashima@tribunemail.com

Break-up time!
Break Ke Baad…the reason why Deepika Padukone was in Chandigarh on Friday was Break Ke Baad. Don't read between the lines, we are not talking about Deepika-Ranbir break up (though that seems to be the hot topic of discussion again these days) but the lady's busy promoting her latest movie. Making her fans' day in Chandigarh, the dusky beauty came to DLF Citycentre Mall, IT Park, with producer Kunal Kohli and director Danish Aslam in tow. Well, we were expecting Imran Khan too, but then had to settle with Danish, who could very well pass as a look-alike! "Sorry for the heartbreak girls, but Imran is shooting in Patiala. So he couldn' t make it," Kunal announces and was immediately corrected by a group, "He is shooting in Nabha." We do keep a track of our stars, don' t we! Anyways, Deepika did the honours alone. "It feels great to come back to Chandigarh. It reminds me of my hometown, Bengaluru. The energy you feel here is so wonderful," the actor acknowledged her fans immediately. "Every time I come, I get a warm welcome." Awww…we are so wooed!
Still, the promotion was actually for Break Ke Baad, not Chandigarh. The movie that has Imran Khan and Deepika in the lead is already a hit with its music and is scheduled for release on November 26. "It's a simple love story between two people (we were tired of the love triangles) who break-up whenever they want and come back together again," Danish speaks for the first time. The debutante director, who has earlier assisted Kunal Kohli in Fanaa, Ta Ra Rum Pum, and worked on Swades and Salaam Namaste is excited about the young, fresh love story.
His own love story, though, just got into a new phase recently when he tied the knot with actor Shruti Seth. For a first-timer, having an ensemble cast of Sharmila Tagore, Navin Nischol, Lillette Dubey, Shahana Goswami, and Imran-Deepika as the lead, is a dream come true. And a hit would be a perfect wedding gift! As for Kunal, who is producing the film, launching a new director comes as a high. "The movie is a 'dramedy', a coming-of-age romance; contemporary and exciting. It's about lack of space, especially in relationships. We seriously need space," he says. After a disastrous Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic, he seems hopeful about Break Ke Baad, " We have got the best lead pair; together they look good."
She did make Danish dance to her tunes though (pun intended). "There is a little problem with Danish. Paapu can't dance saala," Kunal says, with all his encouragement. Well, the Pappu did oblige in the end! Kunal winds up with a query for the fans, "Where do you get good paranthas here?" Each shouted, "My home."

The 'Bourne Identity' star who will soon welcome a fourth daughter with wife Luciana Barroso, insists that the brood is enough for him. The actor is father to Isabella, 4, and Gia, 2, as well as Barroso's 11-year-old daughter Alexis, from her first marriage. "My wife is about to have our fourth kid and we've drawn a line in the sand. This is it. Our lives are full and wonderful and we're done with having kids. Lucy is in her third trimester for the fourth time and I think that's about enough to ask of any woman," said Damon. However, the 40-year-old actor is very keen to see his little ladies grow up. "If I had a bucket list, I'd say raising my four girls to be strong, good women would be number one," said the actor. — PTI

Bon Appetit
Carrot pinwheels
1 carrot, scraped and grated ½ a cucumber, peeled, deseeded and grated ½ cup crumbled paneer Fresh mint leaves 2 tbsp cream or hung yogurt Salt and pepper 6-8 slices of bread of your choice Method Trim the crusts off the bread and flatten each slice with a rolling pin. Spread with butter followed by the carrot mixture. Roll tightly and wrap the sausage-like roll in cling film. Refrigerate for at least an hour to encourage the pinwheel to hold its shape. Remove cling film before serving and slice 'pinwheels' from the roll. Roasted red pepper rolls
1 red bell pepper 1 tomato 2 tbsp walnuts 1 tsp olive oil Salt & pepper to taste ¼ cup processed cheese, grated Butter 6-8 slices bread of your choice Method Halve the pepper, smear with olive oil and place in a roasting tin or a shallow tray. Place in a preheated oven at 180 degrees C for 20-30 minutes or till the surface skin is charred and shriveled. Transfer to a poly bag for another 10 minutes. (This will make the peppers 'sweat' to enable you to remove the skins later) Peel off the blackened layers and discard. Chop the flesh of the peppers and season lightly. Dry roast the walnuts in a karhai and break into smaller bits. Crumble the cheese and chop the tomatoes. Flatten the trimmed bread as in the previous recipe and spread with softened butter. Lay out the chopped peppers, walnuts, tomatoes and grated cheese. Roll up loosely and skewer with a toothpick. Serve with a ketchup or a green chutney. Devilled egg triangles
2 hard boiled eggs ½ cup mayonnaise Butter, as needed Prepared mustard Salt and pepper Lettuce leaves 6-8 slices white or brown bread Method Shell the eggs and mash roughly. Add about a tablespoon or more of mayonnaise, salt, pepper and mustard to taste. Spread butter on one side of one slice and mayonnaise on the second slice. Arrange a generous amount of the egg filling on the slice, follow up with the lettuce and top with the other slice. Cut into triangles. If you want to use it as a dainty finger-food, cut each into four squares, skewer with a half a toothpick and top the upper end of the toothpick with a fresh boiled pea. |

Up close & personal
In front of the camera and behind it, it is a twin task for the actors, veejays and loads of other artistes - to be yourself, before the archlights and behind them as well! The second is a matter of choice. But, if the first is taken care of, the end result is a successful and 'most wanted' Veejay! And the funda has worked pretty well for VJ Bani and VJ Ayushmann, in the city to unveil MTV India along with Wildcraft's new range of stylish backpacks and outdoor gear.
Of course, it is all about style and attitude, and the two VJs here know how to flaunt their style, which is 'being what they are.' "Style as it goes is each to his own," says Bani, describing what style means to her. "Anything that I can carry comfortably without having to look into the mirror time and again. There is no harm in following fashion; the trick however lies in using it to your benefit. Never be a fashion victim," she says. Well, the bindaas ex-Roadie can say this being a VJ. "On the contrary, I have to respect the surroundings where I am shooting. This does not mean I have to be extra-cautious, or follow hard and fast rules, I just need to understand what the place requires me to wear and what would look comfortable on camera." If style is the talking point here, this VJ certainly has it in loads. Jazzy, snappy and cool, no strings attached! "I like MTV gear by Wildcraft, especially the bags that are really sturdy and versatile. It is perfect for my gymnasium," adds Bani showing us what has caught her fancy in terms of accessories these days. "Earlier, I used to accessorise a lot, but now my tattoos are my accessories." There is no missing the tattoos in all forms and sizes. Style quotient to the hilt! All the same, style isn't all the lady can be tagged with. "I want to do good cinema with a lot of English dialogues. As of now, you will see me auditioning for Roadies 8; sometime later maybe in movies as well." Right next to Bani is the guy who going by the cliché needs no introduction, at the same times needs to be talked about in a totally different context due to the abundance of work with which he is moving from one step of the ladder to another — Ayushmann. He is all over the television, for the right reasons of course and the guy loves it too. Who can love television given the present day scenario? "I agree television was much better in the times of Nukkad, Baneygi Apni Baat. However, it is still a good medium for a newcomer like me. It pays better than films," he adds with a smile. We could have seen it coming, after all the VJ has the gift of gab topped with crazy humour. "I was offered roles in Jhoota Hi Sahi, I hate Luv Story; being a theatre actor, I would want to do something that excites me, something that I can look up to and notice in years down the line," he says. 'MTV Gear by Wildcraft' includes vibrant and funky outdoors, travel and adventure gear featuring backpacks, slings, messengers and duffel bags amongst others. The range also comprises a special Roadies line that includes bags as well as adventure gear for riding, hiking and cycling as well as other outdoor equipment, including a cool range of sleeping bags and tents! This quirky range is priced from Rs 745-Rs 2,995 and is available across exclusive Wildcraft stores as well as modern trade shop-in-shops across the country. jasmine@tribunemail.com |

Ground reality
Any piece of terracotta art made in India is five times costlier than the one imported from South- East Asia. No rocket science but plain logic. "It takes us three hours to make a terracotta piece, which is done in mere 20 minutes by artisans of China or Vietnam," informs Buddhiram Prajapati, a national award winner for his contribution to terracotta artform. In these countries, the government provides artists with with infrastructure that makes work easy for them. "They are thus better then us both quality and quantity wise and are much cheaper even when exported," adds Prajapati, in the city on Friday to conduct a Terracotta workshop at the Government College of Art-10. He adds, "We don't even get the quality earth. Artists have to make their own arrangements to get raw material." Prajapati has been working with the art form from the past 30 years. He has held terracotta workshops in various countries to popularise this art form. Back home, he says more efforts are required to develop interest of budding artists. "Unlike other artforms like painting and sculpture, you don't get readymade material for terracotta. The solution lies is combining arts. Painting vases or other décor items will make more people buy it." This art is also suffering because earth utensils are a thing of past. "Earlier people used to eat in utensils made from natural material. Making a dinner set would now cost us around Rs 12,000 and who buys it now when melamine and plastic sets are available at cheaper rates." He still hopes for better times. Especially with times changing and people becoming pro-organic, he feels earthen utensils will be seen again on kitchen shelves. "But we don't expect people to buy the same old earthen pots. We have to introduce new designs to lure people." Prajapati recently displayed his work at Dilli Haat during the Commonwealth Games. "CWG was an opportunity for artists to show our art and culture to the world. It helped us create our market in the world, he concludes. ashima@tribunemail.com

Funnyface sandwiches
This is a lovely kiddy party idea! The smileys are guaranteed to put a smile on the little ones' faces. Cut all the bread into roundels with a large cutter or a steel 'katori'. Use any of the above recipes to prepare the sandwiches. Slice some olives and place them on the round sandwiches as eyes. Use a bottle with a nozzle, fill up with ketchup and squeeze an arc below the eyes to complete the smiley image. You can also place a carrot triangle to depict a nose! Do keep tissues handy, for these funny faces will result in sticky fingers at the end of the show!

If your idea of a luxurious bath does not extend beyond a weekly ‘tel malish’ and a scrub… you, probably, haven’t eased yourself into a supersonic jacuzzi, switched on a couple of water jets to massage your back, listened to music, maybe even watched television even as the warm water soothed your tired nerves. Putting Cleopatra-like bathing to shame, bathroom accessories available in the market these days make for a ‘nawabi’ style bath!
Rajwant’s quests have transformed into his conquests over the years. Back home after winning the third position in the ‘Stock Amateur’ category at Raid De Himalayas, Rajwant tells us what drives him so far and away. “Call it passion. As a student I was fascinated by hardcore adventure stuff, but I didn’t have the means. Now that I have managed to do that, there is no stopping,” says the young traveller. At the Raid, where he was competing with a non-modified car, Rajwant was introduced to the sport as a professional for the first time. But his feats came even before this. 
And then Kunal Kohli chips in: "The city has great food joints, it's well-planned and has the most beautiful women in the country." Bull's eye! The movie already looks like a winner on box office, especially in the city. 
Meanwhile, Deepika was the most animated, enacting her famous Om Shanti Om wave for the crowd. Interacting with fans like she knows each one of them personally, she also performed a little gesture — showing the same moves on the movie’s song Adhure. "It' s my favourite song in the film," and the crowd shouted in approval. "But there are no steps on the songs, as my
director doesn't like steps." 
Actor Eva Longoria Parker escaped unhurt in a car crash in Los Angeles.
Hollywood heartthrob Matt Damon who is to become a father for the fourth time, has ruled out having any more children in the near future.
What does a city that treats its food as an added status symbol need next? A Page 3 treatment, maybe. So, we have Page 3, a restaurant in Sector 5, Panchkula, serving you right. Coming up with concept-based weekdays, Page 3 is all set to make each day fun, with food and drinks as complementary.
Grab a couple of slices of bread. Slap on some butter or mayonnaise. Raid your fridge for some crunchies, greens, cheese or leftover scraps of meat and lay it on thick! Clamp down the other slice and there! You've got yourself a sandwich! Okay so what's the big deal? What on earth can be easier than this? It may not occur to you but a sandwich sensibly assembled can be an extremely healthy meal, balanced, nourishing and delicious. If you go too generous on the butter or mayonnaise, it will spell doom for your waistline, so opt for low cal spreads to ease the calorie burden. When a rumble in the belly demands gratification, a sandwich is ever so easy to assemble with minimal hassle. Remember not to dump a hodgepodge of too many flavours in a given sandwich. The more the merrier does not apply here. Add an unusual dimension to what you create and don't clutter it with numerous peripherals. A jungle of myriad flavours will only assault the taste buds, failing to tantalise!
