Floral appeal
When was the last time you had gone out to some nearby community garden and taken a good look at the different varieties of flowers, observed people around, saw kids trying to pluck them with their parents trying their level best of nullify the effort?
When was the last time you saw colourful and delicate chrysanthemums? For once make an effort, pull out time from your busy schedule and visit the ongoing Chrysanthemum Show at the Terrace Garden in Sector-33, Chandigarh. Try not to rate the event on the number of people, stalls and a happening crowd - the idea should be to silently enjoy beauty in its full bloom. At the chrysanthemum show, you will see all colours of bloom in white, yellow, orange and red smiling at you. Different categories and varieties will make you stop and stare in admiration. "They should give more information along with the flowers," Harinder Sandhu and his wife, who are taking pictures, share with us. "Last year we had some amazing blooms, this year they are less," he adds. A quick must-have for good Chrysanthemums, as Harinder says, "The soil should be well-drained and they need a lot of sun." After some basic information, it is time to check out the manmade creativity at the show. A boat done up in flowers, animal shapes, sparrows, kangaroos make for a nice backdrop for a family photo. There is something nice about technology - you can admire and take back the beauty with you. At the Chrysanthemum Show you come across many people testing their photography skills amidst flowers, traditional dances and music. Neerja Kohli, a homemaker, with her son takes a good look at the red wine chrysanthemums. "It is nice to see so many different colours and also the fact that people are still interested in such shows. I have dragged my son to this place because I want him to see something like this as well," she says. "I love gardening and don't miss any flower show. I went to Amsterdam for their annual exotic flower show and it was the most amazing thing I have ever seen," she signs off jasmine@tribunemail.com

Love, ex and dhokha!
It seems suspecting wives are not always wrong while taking a bit 'too much' interest in their husbands' mood and longings. For a British study has found that one in four men regularly dreams about his former girlfriend.
The Dream Study, carried out by Premier Inn, asked 2,000 Brits about their dream patterns to come up with its findings. The study also revealed that the men in question were not necessarily pining for their ex-s by day. In fact, the majority reported high levels of satisfaction with their current relationship. Moreover, it was not just ex-partners that British men dreamt about either. In case some girlfriends start thinking that it is they who are the subject of their man's dreams, they are likely to be usurped during night-time by their partner's colleagues or boss -- with 26 per cent saying they dream of workmates -- or even their mother-in-law, says the study. Interestingly, over a third of British women said they spend their nights dreaming about their current partner, followed closely by dreams about their parents and children. — IANS

Brush with art
There are only a handful of people who work to fuel their passion in life. Karn Singh Takkhar is one of them. His works, on display at Girl in the Café at Sector 17, bring alive the enthusiasm of colours. At the age of 27, when most of the youngsters want a stable job, Karn quit his job with a private bank and opted to foray into art. Born in Madhya Pradesh, Karn went on to complete his schooling from the Doon School, Dehradun, and forgot all about his artistic instinct to get into sports. "It was then that I was introduced to horse-riding along with various other outdoor sports," he says. Apart from his interest in outdoor and extracurricular activities, the "It was in Canada that I again tried my hand at painting as well as drawing and now, it's a full-time hobby for me," he smiles. Karn feels he inherited this talent from his father. "My father, an IAS officer, has always had the knack of
crea-ting beautiful pieces of art," he says. Apart from his pen drawings and poster creations, Karn has also converted his art into cards, which are up for sale. "I am trying to raise funds for the Chandigarh Horse Riding Society. It's strange that there It was recently that Karn came in contact with Neepa Sharma, who decided to promote his style of art. "It is broadly abstract in nature," he says. Having had no professional training in art, he feels is a blessing in disguise. "My art has generated the same response in both India and Cana-da," he says. Already working on his next concept around horses, Karn Singh Takkhar hopes that one day there will be a father and son exhibition. "It is a distant dream and I hope I can realise it," he smiles. His art, like him, has undergone the process of maturing over a per-iod of time. "Even I see a visible difference in how I would work before and now,"he says. His favourite subjects remain the Mughal period, horses and the mountains. "It is obvious that the latter will always be close to my heart, but Mughal period is closer to my professional work," he says. vasudha@tribunemail.com

Wine-some
Wine sessions lead to special stories and sharing many such special stories is what makers of Fratelli Wines are aiming at! In Chandigarh for the launch of six new labels of the brand at JW Marriott-35 on Friday, Kapil Sekhri, director, Fratelli Wines, talks about wine-lovers in the city, "There may be few takers for wine in Chandigarh, but those who are know their wine well."
Wine, preferred more by women, probably finds favour with the city folks as there is less of a taboo attached with it and it is more of a statement of class. Fratelli, an Indo-Italian venture, is a collaboration between three families who have brought the best of technology as well as expertise in Piero Masi, renowned wine-maker, to India. The company has its own vineyards and state-of-the-art processing as well as storing facilities. "One interesting aspect about wine-lovers in Chandigarh is that they do not bother about the price. Our Sauvignon and Chardonnay do better than others, despite their higher costs," says Kapil. "Nothing gives us more pleasure than to know that our wine has found favour with those who have tasted it," says Kapil. Apart from that they let their wine do the talking. All the nine labels of the Fratelli are available in Chandigarh for those who bond over a glass! —

Sleeping away to glory
Drinking two glasses of tart cherry juice daily can help you get a better night's sleep, a new study has suggested. An international team of researchers found that when adults had two daily glasses of tart cherry juice, they slept 39 minutes longer, on average, and had up to 6 percent increase in overall sleep efficiency (significantly less non-sleep time in bed), compared to when they drank a non-cherry, fruit cocktail.
In a study conducted at Northumbria University, 20 healthy adults drank two servings of tart cherry juice concentrate (30mL of 100 percent pure Montmorency juice concentrate per serving, diluted in a half pint of water; provided by CherryActive, Sunbury, UK) or a non-cherry fruit drink for seven consecutive days at a time - one serving when they woke up, and another before bed. The researchers tracked participant's sleep habits, and after drinking the cherry juice, they found significant improvements in sleep behaviours, most notably longer sleep time, less daytime napping and increased overall sleep efficiency compared to when they drank the non-cherry juice drink. The researchers attribute the sleep benefits to the melatonin content of the red Super Fruit - a powerful antioxidant critical for sleep-wake cycle regulation. Each serving of the tart cherry juice concentrate was estimated to contain the equivalent of 90 - 100 tart cherries, providing a significant level of melatonin in the juice and ultimately in the bodies of the participants. While more research is necessary before medical professionals turn to cherries as a sole treatment for sleep disorders, the scientists conclude that tart cherry juice concentrate could be a viable 'adjunct intervention for disturbed sleep across a number of scenarios'. The study has been published in the European Journal of Nutrition. —ANI

Showcasing sweaters
As common as the subject of photography is, the uniqueness of it emerges from what catches the fancy of a photographer. Sebastien Daguerressar is one of those rare photographers, who is attracted to the colours of India, particularly of sweaters.
A journalist of French origin, Sebastien moved to India five years back and
has been in love with the country ever since. “If you make a comparison, the
winter in France is more about the homogenous shades of black and grey,” he
says. It was the sudden bust of yellows and pinks, which attracted this bespectacled journalist. “The sweater story began last year in the winter. I never expected to see such fancy colours, flashing in the dull winter morning,” he adds. It was his little interest, which was encouraged by a friend. “Oliver Culman, a renowned French photographer who worked in India, gave me tips and motivated me to display my work,” he says. Coming to India was more of a choice after hearing great stories about the country. “I have a friend who visited India and updated me on the varied flavours, it was then that I decided to shift base and have been here since then,” he says. So, Sebastien, and his wife, also a journalist, moved here. Another interesting aspect of his photographs is the absence of faces, keeping the focus on the sweater. “If you don’t look at the face, you discover greater details of the sweaters. Even how the person poses tells a lot about him,” he smiles. Already working on another collection, revolving around the Dongria tribe of Orissa, the photographer-cum-journalist has selected the subject for the next. “It will be a focus on women’s feet and shoes,” he laughs. Without much technical know-how about photography to start with, Sebastien’s interest grew while learning the basics of photography at journalism school. “Portraits still remain a hot favourite for me,” he adds. Already showcased in Delhi, he has also sold many of his photographs. Wearing a plain, simple shirt, we were surprised to find him without the object of his fancy. “I find them itchy and have never really worn them,” he says. “They do look attractive but are very itchy,” he quickly chips in. vasudha@tribunemail.com

The perfect remedy
We make compromises all the time. We do not wear what we really want to; eat what we want to, live with someone when we want to be with someone else. Well, this is one life and one can actually do what the heart desires, going by the theme of Priya Kumar’s third book The Perfect World.
An accidental writer, Priya (a motivational speaker otherwise) now wants to be an author throughout her life. In Chandigarh on Friday for the launch of her latest book, she shares the story of how she became a writer. “It happened in that fateful December when I was left with no work for some two months; when the Taj at Mumbai was under siege,” says Priya, whose workshops were postponed one after another as the five-stars (they invariably are the venue for her workshops) were put on high alert. Undeterred, Priya took out her bucket list with ‘to write a book’ on the top (she wants to make a movie, act in one cut her own album…) and sat to write. Seven days flat and manuscript of I Am Another You was ready. The very first publisher got the book printed. Priya wrote another book on her publisher’s request — License to Live. This time, it was the result of eight days. And again her third book, The Perfect World was written in eight days! “I am like that. I am mad. I don’t sit still till I finish what I have in mind,” says Priya, who in her motivational workshops makes people walk on fire, crushed glass or bend construction rods with their necks. “The idea is to let go of the inhibitions,” says Priya, who believes in telling stories, a gift that she discovered right in her childhood. Chandigarh-born Priya is now based in Mumbai, travels the world for motivational workshops and takes out time to write. Her Perfect World is Niki Sander’s journey into the universe and back to planet earth and how she returns wiser. “You can take the message if it clicks,” says Priya, whose earlier two books have also been on the bestseller’s list. The Perfect World is available on bookstores for Rs 275. mona@tribunemail.com

When Sonam meets Cruise
Sonam Kapoor is everywhere all over again as her film Players is ready for release. Here is what she has to say about her look, action scenes, meeting Tom Cruise, and all about Players.
Meeting Cruise You know I was blushing like a school-girl when I met him. I have always been a big fan of his. I was shocked to see how handsome he is in his late 40s. I was in awe of Tom. Of course, Dad also looks very young and fit! Favourite stars When I was a kid I used to have a poster of Tom in my bedroom and of course after Titanic, it was Leonardo DiCaprio but at the same time I liked Brad Pitt too. These are the hot stars of Hollywood. Players look I am sporting a very different look for Players. It's sporty at the same time very sexy. After the first promo was out I have been getting so many compliments about my looks. My character Naina Briganza is totally different. Director Abbas-Mustan thought of giving me a different look according to the character who loves rash driving. She is a techy girl and makes Abhishek's life hell. I think just not me but everyone has a different and rocking look in the film and the credit goes to directors Abbas-Mustan who always make their heroines look hot. Censor censure I know kids are getting mature at an early age today but then a film has something to say. Like they banned smoking which I am against because there are so many other things that need to be banned. In one song I showed the middle finger, that's a very common thing today.
The Don speaks
With shouts of "I love you Shah Rukh" emanating from a thousand strong crowd Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan unveiled the look of his upcoming action thriller Don 2 at the ongoing Dubai International Film Festival and ever the charmer, the actor said he has made bad look really good in the movie.
The 46-year-old actor, who enjoys a huge fan-following in UAE, said he enjoyed making the Don sequel, which hits theatres in 2D and 3D on December 23. "When I am good, I am good but when I am bad, I am better. I have a dark soul and I am very proud of the film because I could be as bad as I wanted and there is no justification. Of course, we are not glorifying the bad things but in my 70 films odd career I have never enjoyed playing a part like I do in Don 2," he said. The actor was accompanied by co-star Priyanka Chopra, director Farhan Akhtar and producer Ritesh Sidhwani but the evening clearly belonged to him as he charmed his way through the crowd with his quick repartees. The film faced some trouble in India because of its smoking scenes and responding to a question from a young audience member, Shah Rukh said he never considered himself a role model. "I don't consider myself a role model. I have little kids of my own and I make movies for them. But honestly I think they should be exposed to all kind of stories so they can give vent to whatever is in their system and grow up to be cool like me. We are not justifying anything here," he said. One of the best loved stars in India, Shah Rukh said he tries to do different things "within the parameters of commercial cinema". —PTI
Invisible hero
Kunal Kapoor will be seen next in the much awaited Don 2 directed by Farhan Akhtar. The handsome actor, who is playing the role of an integral character Sameer Ali in the movie, has been missing from the recent promotional activities of the movie.
News is that Kunal's disappearing act is no promotional gimmick chalked out by the team, but in fact a date problem which the actor is facing. Kunal is currently in Punjab shooting for his next movie, Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana which is a UTV Spotboy and Anurag Kashyap production. The actor is away on a long outdoor schedule for his upcoming movie and hence has no options but to give some of the promotional activities of Don 2 a miss. In fact, Kunal who is very excited about his role in Don 2 and disappointed that he can't be with the team at this time. When quizzed about the same the actor went on to say, "I think I'm one of the actors that actually enjoy promotional work. It's a good chance to re-connect with the whole team. But unfortunately I'm smack in the centre of a tight schedule." Talking about his film with Anurag, he said, "It's a comedy film and working with Anurag is wonderful experience because he is a director who has a different perception of filmmaking. His films capture what happens around us." " It's a first ever film made on food in India. Being an Indian we all know how much we love to eat. Every part of India has a special dish. This film is also different as for the first time audience will see Anurag doing a family entertainer. The film revolves around a Punjabi family," says Kunal. Coming back to Don 2 he says, "It's a wonderful experience sharing screen with SRK. He is a total entertainer and Farhan is a great director. Don 2 is different as it takes Don to another level."

Chatter box
Grand Master Mithun Chakraborty was at his dancing best at the launch of the third season of Zee TV’s Dance India Dance. He took to the stage to show his signature moves. He also gave his remarks about Jay Bhanushali being very busy and doesn’t have time to
talk to him. Here’s what Dada had to say about
the show, dancing styles today and more…
What can the audience expect from Dance India Dance 3? When I close my eyes and say Dance India Dance- I don’t see victories or failures- all I see is the passion and desire to excel in every dancer who sets foot on this prestigious platform of DID. I started my career as a struggling dancer and looking back, I see flashbacks of my own life in front of me. DID is very close to my heart and with the blessings of the Almighty, DID 3 will go down in history books as yet another landmark season. The audiences can expect thrilling moments and a grand show. How does it feel to be back on the show with judges
—Geeta Kapoor, Terrence Lewis and Remo D’souza? We all are family and I am happy my best trio is back plus the ravishing Soumya Tandon and handsome Jay Bhanushali hosting our show. We are a cool gang. In fact Jay is very busy and he told me that he didn’t have time to talk (laughs). Who is the best dancer in the industry today? I have always said Hrithik Roshan is a fabulous dancer. Shahid Kapoor also dances very well. They have it in them and they have proved it. How would you define dance today? Dancing today has changed completely and dancing pattern or forms should always change. I feel that today’s dancers are more talented than we were. They improvise and learn so many different dancing forms. It is amazing. What does the tagline of the show -Born To Dance
mean? Mumkin nahi hain sabhi ke liye dance ke jariye sab kuch paana. Jo chingari banke paide hote hain sirf unhe ki fitrat hai aag
lagana. That’s is born to dance. If you are born with the talent, then you can go higher in life. Do you think with western styles and modern forms of dancing, Indian classical dance forms like
Bharatnatyam, etc are getting overshadowed? I don’t think so. Our classical dance is the basis of every dance. There are some youngsters who love Indian classical dances. Are dance reality shows boon to the youth of today? I think such shows are a great thing to happen as through these shows at least all these talented dancers are getting a chance to show their flair. If you think of us, we would show our talent by dancing in various hotels. And back then I used ask them if they would give lunch as we didn’t know when and where would we get food to eat. What do you think of physically challenged contestants who show their talent but later are eliminated? I don’t know what to say on this but you must have seen that we give full respect to them in the show. For me people who, in spite of physical challenges, dare to perform are winners.
Wrong foot forward
In Zee’s Yahaan Mein Ghar Ghar Kheli, Abha’s (Suhasi Dhami) look-a-like Albeli is getting tired of playing the sweet and homely Abha.
She is making lot of mistakes and in the upcoming episodes she will sing the wrong aarti, eating food that Abha hated, which will make Karan (Karan V Grover) think something is wrong with her.
But he won’t doubt that she is not Abha. Albeli will soon be exposed.
Ageing gracefully
Ankita Lokhande, who has won millions of heart as Archana, in Zee’s Pavitra Rishta will now be seen as mother to four kids post leap. As a 45-year-old woman, she is still the same as she was promised no grey hair by producer Ekta Kapoor.
“Twenty years down the line, viewers will be delighted to see that Archana hasn’t changed one bit. She’s still every bit the ideal mother, daughter and sister,” says Ankita.
“She’s aged rather gracefully with hardly any greys yet! What has gone missing from her life is the role of a wife. On some level, she deeply misses Manav,” she adds.
Heading for trouble?
In Zee’s Ram Milaye Jodi, Mona (Sara Khan) has been working with Aditya sir (Angad Hasija) for a while and the two have become good friends. The stoic Aditya loves Mona’s vivaciousness. In the upcoming episode, Mona will take him for a pani puri party and her husband Anukalp (Sujoy) will spot them. Earlier, too Ambaji didn’t approve of Mona spending so much time with her boss but will this new development bring trouble for Mona?
Relationship web
In Colors’ Balika Vadhu- Gauri (Anjum Faroki) and Jagya (Shashank Vyas) are going through a tough time in their relationship but soon more trouble will land at their doorstep. Their landlady Kunda tai will find out that Gauri snatched a married man. Her husband had left her for another woman, so as she suffered the same fate, she will get angry and throw them out. She will blame Gauri for breaking Anandi’s marriage. Gauri will be taunted and tormented once again while Jagya will worry about what to do next.
Replacement time
Imagine TV seems to be looking out for a good time slot for Swayamvar and have put two shows Dharampatni and Haar Jeet under scanner. They were launched in August and October respectively and haven’t delivered expected
TRPs. Dharampatni was the bigger show with loads of hype but Harshad Chopra and Aasiya Kazi failed to make an impact with the audiences. If things don’t work out they might go off air by December end.
Caring husband
In Star Plus’ Saath Nibhana Saathiya, Gopi, being played by Jiyaa
Manek, will soon be on the road to recovery. She will return home from the hospital.
Her husband,
Aham, will be very caring towards her and will ensure that she is taken care of. He won’t leave her side and will surprise her by doing little things for her.

The year ahead
If your birthday is December 10...
You’re longing for a partnership that offers mental stimulation. You’re not very talkative, and prefer to express your affection through actions. In 2011, if you’ve developed some wonderful plans they will come true in 2012. If your best friend or lover isn’t eager to talk, try not to take it personally. Your contributions, whether emotional, intellectual or financial, are being put to good use, and that makes you feel even more generous. You find it much easier to endear yourself to the right people on birthday— so much so that you might find someone has a crush on you! Take on new interests. You will be able to clear up a recent dispute with your partner. Try not to nag him or her with your stubbornness. Your leadership skills — overt or covert — are tested in March, so step up and assume command or lead from the rear. Don’t get exasperated with your anxieties. A superior performance will lead to happiness. Your creative energies are high. Luck is in your favour. Unemployed may get job offers. An opportunity to start a new venture with quick financial gains is likely. Your birth on the 10th day adds a tone of independence and extra energy. The number one energy suggests more executive ability and leadership qualities than your path may have indicated. This ‘one’ energy may diminish your ability and desire to handle details. If contemplating construction, your home town will be a better choice of permanent residence after retirement. Mood: Problems ‘lifting’ fast. Compatible signs: Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces. Lucky colours: Blanched almond and black. Lucky days: Thursday. Lucky numbers: 4, 10, 19, 34, 49. Lucky gem: Ruby.
