Virtual showcase
Artists do not have to totally rely on exhibitions to display their creations now. A number of websites showcase their talent across the globe
The virtual world offers a rare liberating experience — uninhibited by physical boundaries like that of the real world. For example, an art exhibition on display at one of the city art galleries would be about a few artists and as many artworks as a gallery can hold. On the other hand, a website dedicated to artists and their works can go up to any number.

Abiding charm of Old Manali
 Manali, named after the Hindu law-giver Manu, literally means "the abode of Manu". Situated 2 km north of the mall (read new
Manali), old Manali is nothing like you would expect. Devoid of the
hustle-bustle of honeymooning Indians and the restaurant-lined mall, Old
Manali offers a peaceful atmosphere for that perfect promenade.
Colour your space
A garden devoid of colours means nothing. We have all the slogans for going 'green' but there is no harm if it is supplemented with 'hues'. After all, what is life without
colours? The range of plants that is available for indoors as well as the outdoors is amazing. Nature has done wonders and the credit goes to the explorers too who located such plants in the wild, tamed them and brought to cities.
 Art(e) of spending
Rolls Royce, Porsche and Varun Bahl are the names thrown at us in what promises to be a first-of-its-kind exhibition in India. Chandigarh hosts plenty of exhibitions, but this one, we are told, is different.

Dyramics, luxury mobiles and phones from Porsche Design and Varun Bahl Haute Couture.

Seeing is eating
A new study has indicated that consumers will choose and eat more indulgent food after they see someone who is overweight-unless they consciously think about their health goals. "Why do people often think back on a pleasant evening with friends and realise that they ate more and worse food than they wish they had?" asked authors Margaret C. Campbell (Leeds School of Business) and Gina S. Mohr (University of Colorado, Boulder).
