Breeding the best
 Adhiraj with his Great Dane and St. Bernard When eight out of ten people are taking an Alsatian or a Labrador or a Pomeranian (and now a pug) out for a walk, there's reason why you'd want to flaunt an out-of-the-ordinary canine counterpart. The breeds may have been rare, but the preference for rare breeds has never been a rare phenomenon! After all, it's flattering to be flooded with questions on your pet, right from its breed to its name.

Live to eat
They say the way to a person's heart is through stomach and while everyone craves for yummy, mouth smacking food, some enjoy cooking themselves and some love ordering meals. No matter what, we all have our own favourite comfort food. We spoke to few actors about their comfort food and what dish is closest to their heart.

Here comes the Badshah…
Superstar Shah Rukh Khan is truly Bollywood's badshah and his welcome at Toronto's Fairmont Royal York hotel was proof enough!As around a hundred fans, who waited to catch a glimpse of the actor at the hotel lobby Friday morning, the actor broke into an impromptu little jig despite his knee injury — turning his entry into a mini red carpet walk!

Delhi belly is for adults: Aamir Khan
Aamir who has got people ecstatic with his over-the-top item number shares his take on the controversial film
You wanted a heroine for the item song in Delhi Belly but now you have done the song yourself with Anusha Dandekar.Yes, I wanted a heroine but none of them answered my calls and it became very difficult to match schedules. So I decided to do it myself. Kiran wanted me to do the song and you guys (the media) had also suggested that I do the song. It is the first time that I have done an item song in my career and I had a lot of fun going all out with the steps and look.



Awesome act: Aamir Khan

Winds of change

Go green
Being concerned about the environment and taking action steps is a must these days. We have to preserve the planet for forthcoming generations. Bollywood celebrity Priyanka Chopra shares some tips.Priyanka Chopra: Just because tissue paper is free, it doesn’t mean that you should use like there is no tomorrow. Tissue is made from paper, and trees are cut to make paper. Tissues contribute to waste. Use napkins instead, because they are reusable.

No child’s play this
DJ Bhuvi, in Chandigarh to promote his upcoming album Bhuvi XS, says training is essential for becoming a DJ
What used to be a passion with music enthusiasts, has now grown to the stature of an industry. What used to be a simple scratch 'n' mix job is now a full-fledged, high-flying deal. Deejaying — it is not a child's play anymore!

Its raining trends
It’s the cool linen, easy-to-dry mal mal and chic cotton making a fashion statement this monsoon

Colour palette 

l A potpourri of colours is an instant hit in the rains. Bright and frozen hues spell the colour trend of the season. Florals are a rage this season.

l Dark colours are best when it's raining. They can be carried off well even if you're wet. 

l White and beige though look cool on a hot humid day but should be avoided in rains as muck can spoil your complete outfit. 

MASTER CHEF
Chocoholics beware!
Attention chocoholics, this is a warning. One spoonful of this chocolate mousse and you will be hooked forever. This is what I call a chocolate pudding for grown ups, a simple, easy yet elegant dessert. While it uses only a few ingredients, chocolate, egg whites, butter and cream, its chocolate flavour is rich and its texture is silky smooth, and foamy. Foamy is an apt description as "mousse" is French for 'froth' or 'foam'.

The foodies
Whiff of South
If you want genuine flavour of the South Indian variegated cuisine other than the routine idlis and dosas, then Punj Spice in Park Plaza in Ludhiana is the best place to have a meal any time in this whole week.
