Neck-deep in water!
Summer is here. So are swimming buffs, prancing around the pool. Touted as ‘the best form of exercise’, swimming is supposed to be a good exercise for each body part. Well, there are other reasons why some are hooked on to it. They share the significance swimming holds in their lives. Fun sport Aanchal Bajwa, second-year IT engineering student at Panjab University, got inspired from her father. “I started swimming very early, but after compliments from people I took it seriously from class six onwards,” shares Aanchal. She has gone on to national competitions and won medals! Special ties “It’s such a fun sport. I have tried other sports too – martial arts, athletics. But they would leave me sweaty and exhausted,” says Aanchal. However, her eyes light up as she talks about swimming, “It’s so much fun. Whenever you swim, it’s total refreshment on the cards.” Why swim? Aanchal wants to carry on swimming ‘forever’. “It’s so healthy, increases concentration, builds stamina and I feel it builds immunity,” she says. “However, the best part is there is no qualification required. Just practice and you keep growing with it.
Making a splash Nakul Khanna, class 12th student, started swimming from class 1. “My grandmother would take me each afternoon to swim,” he fondly remembers. Special ties Ever since, that’s what Nakul does every summer afternoon. Back from school, he laps for the splendid swimming pool that’s the centre of his palatial house. “Sometimes, I envy the fish who can live in water all the time,” exclaims the boy. Why swim? “You know water activates your brain cells,” says Nakul philosophically. He loves to swim to lower the body temperature and have some ‘relaxing’ fun. Need of the hour
Shiraz Khan, model and actor, took to swimming around a year back. “I participated in a reality show that required under water tasks, which made me learn swimming,” shares Shiraz. Special ties “There is nothing half as relaxing as water,” claims Shiraz, who hits the pool every summer evening. “Howsoever stressed I am, the touch of water removes it immediately,” she says. Why swim? If you are to slim down and have that glow on your face, Shiraz recommends swimming! “It is a good breathing exercise, helps to lose weight and tone the body. Just ensure that you hit the pool in the evenings,” she says. Dancing like a dolphin Her friends say she doesn’t swim but ‘dances’ in water. For Gagan, professional dance instructor, swimming didn’t come that naturally. “As a child I was scared of ‘water ghosts’ and always worried about my sister who loved swimming,” says Gagan. However, Gagan’s sister not only banished ‘water ghosts’ from Gagan’s life, but also presented her with a passion for lifetime — swimming. Special ties Gagan’s family, who had a keen interest in sports, motivated her a lot. “I can do acrobatics in water, can stay underwater for more than 3 minutes, breast-stroke is my favourite although I also like doing butterfly, which is tougher,” she says. Why swim? Swimming is a passion with Gagan and this is why she recommends it to everyone, “It rejuvenates the body and soul.” People standing in a corner around the pool, feeling scared to enter it concerns Gagan, “I think one should always take a chance to learn something new that’s good and swimming is definitely one of those things.” mona@tribunemail.com

Dine, alfresco
When air-conditioned environs symbolise suffocating office interiors, it’s time to actually get out while going out! As against the initial makeshift trend, now even a 20-cover café will ensure there are some chairs spread in the open, be it the backyard or outside. Increasingly, rooftop space is giving way to open-air restaurants. “People are looking for a change. As of now, they are tired of monotonous ambience and air-conditioned surroundings. Our multi-cuisine open-air extension ‘Sun n Breeze’ is the first outlet that is getting sold,” Manoj Madhukar, general manager, Hotel Maryland shares some of the trends. He adds, “In fact people request for a table inside only if the open space is full.” Even though the 64-cover restaurant operates only for dinner! When boutique hotel Bella Vista set up shop, it ensured there were enough open space options for its in-house guests. The all-day dining restaurant Serenade has an extension of 40-cover that opens to a pool deck. To ring in the true blue feel of outside ambience, the deck is surrounded by grass patches while a water wall with cascades flows along. “Though it’s operational only for our resident guests, if the weather is suitable, more than 80 per cent of people request for a table outside,” shares Shamsher Chauhan, banquet manager. The economics part of operations too works in favour. Adds Madhukar, “Such places are functional for as many as nine months of the year. It’s only for three months during rainy season that people prefer indoor environment.” Open-air resto bars, especially on the rooftop, perhaps lend the right flavour to the ambience. Who would mind some food while soaking in slice of nature and breeze? Adds Chauhan, “During summers, it’s evening time that sees full attendance and during winters, it is almost throughout the day if it’s sunny. So they are actually in demand throughout the year.” Another advantage of the concept, share the people from the industry, is that even small spaces appear relatively large under the skies. Wouldn’t the same amount of space under closed doors give a cramped feeling? At times, it is sheer ambience. And not about the good food they serve or the best wine list. Vertigo, at a dizzying 62nd floor of The Banyan Tree Hotel in Bangkok, qualifies for the highest open-air place in Asia. New York would perhaps, lose a part of the popularity if it weren’t for myriad open-air resto bars that give a view of the Manhattan skyline. Even when the view is not the whole city, the charm of the backdrop remains. Opines Raju Chadha, co-owner, Bombay Chopsticks—10, “I don’t think in Chandigarh we have as many open air joints in the real sense. Bombay Chopsticks is the first of its kind Chinese open air restaurant in the city.” He adds, “It increases the ambience of the whole place and lends a distinct feel and charm to it. The response to the open space has been great. Food under the skies and amidst huge screens is better experienced than described.” Guess that sums it up! manpriya@tribunemail.com

It has spacious lawns, which are used for marriage ceremonies and big events. Then there is the famous Lakshmi Ladies Club, which dates back to pre-partition days. It has as many as 2,000 members and the fees is Rs 300 per month. The initial fee is Rs 50,000, while for professional it is Rs 25,000. The club holds three weekly meetings in a month where varied and interesting programmes are held. On the same pattern, as many as 25 clubs for ladies have been established in Ludhiana.

Censor problems
Shor In The City has been screened for select audiences without the
Censor Board certificate. The Board is angry with the producers. The
film has a ‘U/A’ certificate. We love them ‘fat’
Zarine Khan looks ravishing in the Character dheela song with Salman Khan but we cannot say she has lost weight. She must have toned up though as she has been working out. Another aspiring actress who fails to look slim is Sonakshi Sinha. These women should simply adore their voluptuous figures and not fall into the "being thin" rat race! Ranbir’s brotherly instincts

Actor Govinda, who is making a comeback after a long gap with Naughty @ 40 says this is his third inning in Bollywood and now he is no mood to refuse films. “This is my third inning in Bollywood. Now I can afford to do all kind of cinema. I am not in a mood to refuse films. There was a time when I was refusing so many films. Especially in last two years I refused lot of films. And we keep waiting for good films thinking it would turn out good,” Govinda said. There are two films of Govinda in the offing - Ravi Chopra’s Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai and Run Bhola Run. Both are comedies. Run Bhola Run is a romantic-comedy written and directed by Neeraj Vora starring Govinda, Tusshar Kapoor, Ameesha Patel and Celina Jaitley in lead roles. The film’s plot centers on two convicts who escape from jail. While Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai, is film directed by Ravi Chopra, starring Salman Khan, Lara Dutta, Govinda, Tabu, and Boman Irani. The film is likely to release in June. “These are typical Govinda entertainers. One will walk out of theatre laughing out loud...and they will feel good,” the 48-year-old actor said. Presently, he is happy working with director Jagmohan Mundhra in Naughty @ 40. The film also stars Yuvika Chaudhary, Sayali Bhagat and American actor Lucia Gilbert. “When I first came into the industry I wanted to work with directors of international repute. But my personality did not match their expectations. It still doesn’t, but at least I have got a chance now and I am happy,” Govinda said. On his role in the film, Govinda says, I play a lively happy-go-lucky guy called Happy who wants to have just fun in his life. His romantic escapades revolving around Yuvika and Sayali form the story of the film. Besides, there is Lucia who will be the highlight of the film. — PTI

Making some Shor in Bollywood
Sendhil Ramamurthy is best known for his role as Mohinder Suresh in the sci-fi fantasy television series, Heroes. He is also shooting another mini-series called Covert Affairs. Currently, he is making his Bollywood debut in Shor in the City and is paired opposite Preeti Desai. We caught up with the actor and asked him about the movie, his association with Bollywood and working in Hollywood.
What prompted you to sign Shor In The City? I’m Indian and I always wanted to do a Bollywood film. When I met directors Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, they showed me a small film on which Shor in The City is based, which prompted me to sign it because I loved the concept. Did you enjoy shooting in India? It’s a great place to work. Tusshar Ray (director of photography) was brilliant. Indian filmmakers give 100 per cent to their films so it’s a wonderful experience working with them. Also Bollywood is going through an experiment phase, which is interesting. What’s the difference in working in India and the US? The people in the US are more practical and there is a time limit when it comes to work. However, both industries are passionate about cinema. What was the last Bollywood film that you watched? 3 Idiots and Jodha Akbar. I loved the latter because of the way it was shot. What about your co-stars? Preeti Desai was awesome to work with. Tusshar is really sweet. He makes notes and is eager to learn. Preeti and he introduced me to Indian street food. Any plans to shift to India? I don’t think that it will happen. My family is in the States and I was born and brought up there. I may visit India once in a while. What do you like about India? The Gateway of India. I spent most of my nights shooting there and I love the location. You wanted Deepika Padukone to see your last film Afterlife? (Laughs) She’s one of the prettiest actresses around. She and I come from Bangalore. I haven’t seen her films as yet, but I’ve met her in a few parties. Do you want her to watch this moviel? If she’s free, it would be great for her to come. — HRM |

Barefoot running can be beneficial while heavily cushioned running shoes may be leaving the foot prone to injury, according to a US sports medicine expert. Irene Davis of Harvard University has been studying both barefoot running and minimal footwear running, which uses a type of running shoe almost like a glove for the foot, but with a thin layer of rubber on the bottom, reports ABC Science. These shoes give the foot its full range of natural movement, but protect the sole from stones or extreme surface temperatures. Davis, a Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine and a Catherine Worthingham Fellow of the American Physical Therapy Association, said cushioned running shoes encourage runners to land hard on the heel at the end of each stride. “When you land on your heel you end up with a very quick rise to peak in the force that your body experiences. That completely goes away when you run barefoot because you land on the ball of your foot,” said Davis. Davis and co-authors tested their theories by looking at Kenyan runners. “We wanted to find if people who had never worn shoes before demonstrated the same kind of running pattern,” said Davis. “We felt that was a better indication of how we were naturally meant to run because these individuals had never worn shoes. When we tested [the runners] in Kenya, we found exactly those same kinds of mechanics. They don’t land on their heels, they land with a very gentle forefoot strike pattern,” she said. Once you remove the shoe and take away the artificial shock absorber, the tendons and muscles in the foot, the ankle, calf and thigh start to do the job they were built for, Davis said. She said that causes some runners pain because they aren’t used to using those muscles to control the foot and absorb shock, and they tend to overdo it in the initial stages. “We’ve basically deconditioned our feet by wearing shoes and by wearing very robust motion controlling and cushioning shoes, which takes away some of the function of the foot,” she said. Davis said she has also found that running barefoot can help flatfooted people to strengthen and raise the arches. The study was presented at the 2011 Australasian Podiatry Conference in Melbourne. — ANI

Power of silence
I am neither a romantic dreamer nor a mystic, but only a poet who portrays the realities of life through the medium of words,” says Dheera Khandelwal at the release of her latest Hindi poetry book Mukhar Maun (silence speaks) at a function held recently. While agreeing that ‘poets are born and not made’, Khandelwal shares that she started writing as a school student at Unaao in UP. And her father, who excelled in Persian, was her guiding light. As and when some incident or a social problem touched her soul, a poem was born. “Somehow I felt really relieved after I penned down something. I believe that a poet’s thought must reach the reader’s mind in simple words rather than heavy phrases, which dilute the message,” she opines. She adds, “My entry into the Indian Administrative Service in 1986 provided me more opportunities, which resulted in many anthologies like Neh Ke Deep, Maati Ki Mehak, Oas Ke Moti, Kadmon Ki Lya and the latest, Mukhar Maun. I am grateful to my life partner Dr KK Khandelwal, friends, colleagues and the literary fraternity for all the support.”

stress buster
Modern science, despite major technological achievements, has so far failed to find a way to measure it. Most people who are stressed don’t even know how critical their situation is. Some even fail to respond as they suppress their symptoms wonderfully. Familiarity with stress is very important. It is only through identifying with the condition and understanding it that we can learn how to handle it. Observing the body’s response to stress. l
Identifying physical signs of stress. l
Understanding ones genetic and environmental make up objectively. l
These factors are very important in identifying a condition. Managing stress l
Recognising stress reaction l
Reduce further production of stress reaction. l
Address the stress reaction and chemicals already produced. l Manage the residual stress. Stress is not always harmful but it has its benefits too. Our attitude is most important in life. If we keep that going, nothing in the world can get to us. Focus on change Focus on change is the key once you have managed to identify a condition you should be able to change it. Change is the only constant Change brings in l
New information l New demands l New challenges The human being has a habit of resisting anything new initially. Anything unknown we have to deal with causes stress. Best approach l Analyse the situation l Assess the need for our purpose. A positive focus means your recognize the benefits and opportunities around you and use them to your advantage. Changing the internal system Set up filters within yourself to cut down the impact of external stressors. To deal with stress this is very vital. For example : “I hated noodless two years ago now I love them”. It is how we decide to recondition our mind. (Singh is a Chandigarh-based psychotherapist) |

There are few challenges you cannot fake. You are known for being stubborn and not a quitter. Use these qualities this year in fighting any battles with your health. Adopt a logical approach. Do more of what is working out for you and eliminate everything that isn’t. Your yearly horoscope shows that this might mean cutting out some pleasures you are not ready to let go but it is time to focus on health. Don’t let that stubborn attitude stop you. You will succeed in reassessing your strengths and weaknesses. Your enthusiasm and inspired interactions will naturally have a positive impact on socializing and your popularity. Social events would be very rewarding this year. It is a good year for social activities and for getting in touch with friends. Left-arm fast bowler Ashish Nehra (April 29, 1979, Delhi), who has represented India at the international level since 1999 shares the birthday.

His lucky number is 5, which has affinity with the year 2012 which adds up to 5. Nehra will shine in 2012....definitely, say his stars. |

Ranbir Kapoor flies to Delhi at any given opportunity to meet his sister Riddhima and his beloved niece Samara. Ranbir and Riddhima had decided that they would name her daughter Samara when they were children and Ranbir reminded his sister of this story and that is how the name came about.
Each individual is unique and each of us responds differently to a stressful situation. The problem of stress is not taken as seriously as it should be.
This year you will become fond of music, arts and drama. Be not self-centred. Don’t undertake any project half-heartedly. With will power and persistent determination achieve your goals. Love and marriage may not be the main focus this year.
