	gyan zone The super fruit Satish Narula The nature has provided us with the gift of fruits and vegetables. However, in general we have not understood their true value and most of our population is cereal based. The consumption of these bounties of nature is increased only if their value is understood. These are an excellent sources of nutrition but least understood. Guava is one such fruit that due to excellent qualities, should qualify to be an essential backyard tree. Guava is an established source of Vitamin C that helps fight diseases. It has excellent anti-oxidant quality. The super fruit that it is, its nutritional qualities play vital role in prevention of cancer and the latest fear, the ageing. Good news is that the fruit is low in calorie and fat besides being a rich source of soluble dietary fiber. Don’t be surprised if I say that it contains more potassium than banana and apple. It is because of this reason that it is also known to control systolic blood pressure. It is a good source of vitamin A and B-complex besides many others. Although due to the above said qualities it falls in ‘super fruit’ quality, it is least fussy when it comes to growing this fruit and justifiably qualifies to be an essential backyard tree. It can be grown in almost all the districts of Punjab. The suitable cultivars for this region are Sardar, Allahabad Safeda and Arka Amulya. One could obtain grafted guava plants of these varieties from PAU and its regional research station at Bahadurgarh. Guava gives two crops in a year, i.e. the summer or rainy season crop and winter season crop. The latter is better both in yield and quality. The rainy season crop is bound to be attacked by fruit fly the maggots of which make the fruit unfit for consumption. It is therefore because of this reason that the summer crop should be discouraged. This can be done by withholding irrigation during April-May so that flowers drop. The flowers could also be removed physically when within reach. The fruiting is also discouraged by applying fertilizer in June as it encourages vegetative growth. There could be an exception though as those who relish the ‘still hard’ fruit could do so as these are not infested by insects. The fruit fly appears only when the loosening of the fruit skin starts. Guava can be raised on different kind of soils. Its irrigation requirements are also very less. It can be watered after two to three weeks in summer and at monthly interval during winter. The fertilizer in guava is added during May-June. A full grown tree of ten years age should be added a dose of one kilogram of Urea, 2.5 kg Super phosphate and 1.5 kg of Muriate of Potash. The fertilizer should be thoroughly mixed with soil followed by copious irrigation. (Narula is a senior PAU horticulturist)
	it’s rocking Rustic flavour Anurag Kashyap’s Gangs of Wasseypur has been screened at the Cannes Film Festival 2012 and has managed to receive a good response. And the track O Womaniya, whose lyrics have been penned down by Varun Grover, is quite a hit. It has bizarre vocals of Khushboo Raj and Rekha Jha with a host of equally enthused female voices as the back-up. There is also a second version of this track with techno-improvisations. Soft melody It is like a ‘ladies-sangeet’ number such as Sasural Genda Phool and has a strong Bihari folk feel, which provides lighter moments in the terrifying action saga flick. The track is screechy and rustic to the core. — Chavvi Mittal, student, MCM College Live touch I love this track’s piercing vocals that intensify the style; from then on it continues to impress. It is so apt with its playful and sensual lyrics. It takes the live feel to another level. — Rohit Sethi, student, PU Good job It somehow reminds me of ‘Om Shanti Om’ from the movie Karz. This track is inventive and simple with its seemingly folk tune. Also it is sung with superb energy, which adds to the flavour. — Seema Sharma, student, Khalsa College (As told to Sabia Talwar)

	Over a cup of coffee! Gurvinder Singh If you thought coffee-making is not an art, after meeting Aparupa Roy you will surely change your thinking. The way she brews up the flavours and prepares for a cup, one surely believes coffee-making is an art! “No other beverage is so open to experimentation and tastes great in most of the conditions – hot or cold. Coffee is tremendously versatile, which makes it the world’s favourite drink after water,” she says. And one should not forget the health benefits – coffee improves blood circulation, cures skin diseases and helps in preventing indigestion. Aparupa is in Ludhiana to commence a month-long Coffee Festival at Cafe Coffee Day, Sarabha Nagar, Model Town Extension, where people can learn some tricks of coffee-making from her. “Coffee absorbs the aroma of its surroundings, so where it comes from becomes important. For example, Mysore Royal has the aroma of spices and fruits. So the regional flavour makes it unique. Black coffee (Americana) is a strong coffee, whereas Arabica variety is the purest form and has very little caffeine content. Robusta - a wild variety of coffee - is very acidic,” Roy adds up to our knowledge bank. Roy, a coffee evangelist, earned the title of a coffee expert from Coffee Lab in Bengaluru. “To become an expert and then coffee guru, one needs to have the passion and knowledge.” “Such is the utility of coffee that now people have even started getting pedicures and manicures with it,” she signs off. Relish it “One has to understand ‘fragrance’ of the dry coffee, the ‘aroma’ when it is wet and then the flavours - caramel, chocolate, fruity, salty, coal, woody etc. Later, you taste it with the tip of your tongue and slurp it while feeling the palate absorb it,” says Aparupa.
	Desi look alike What is life without a little bit of shock and suspense ? I thought this caption will wake my readers up from their heat-induced stupor! In South India, attukulu is poha, or pressed rice-flakes, and attu is a dosa. Rice in any form is a healthier option to maida preparations like breads, buns or pizzas. My kitchen always has a canister of poha ready to morph into a myriad of creations, quick, simple, delicious and healthy. Poha dosa, also called sponge dosa is literally that spongy and soft, unlike the paper crisp variety. Serve it folded over with an ‘aloo masaala’ filling or simply with a tomato chutney with a mustard, heeng and curry patta tempering. Perhaps I can initiate you all into that fare another day? Another option is to pile up grated carrots, onion slices and fresh coriander onto the semi-cooked dosa, then cover to soften slightly. Method n Wash and soak rice and poha separately in plenty of water. n Keep aside for 5-6 hours. n Drain and grind separately to a fine paste, using as little water as possible. n Keep aside for 7-8 hours or overnight. n Add curd, heeng, soda and salt and beat well. n Heat a dosa tava and sprinkle some water on it. This is called the splash-test. If it sizzles, you know the tava is ready ! n Put a half a cup of batter on it. Spread the batter in a circular motion, using a katori. n Sprinkle a tsp. of oil on it and cover. n Allow to fry over low heat, till bottom is golden brown. n Serve immediately with grated vegetable topping.

	star track Richa’s baby steps in Bollywood After a brief role in Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!, actress Richa Chadda is seen playing a substantial role in Anurag Kashyap’s Gangs of Wasseypur (GoW). However, Richa insists that she’s one regular Delhi girl and no Bollywood diva. We caught up with Richa to talk about her role in GoW, future plans, etc… How did the movie happen for you? I had auditioned for the role. Everyone liked my audition and I was soon selected. Despite the fact that the character is quite complex, Anurag assured me that I can do justice to it. It’s an important character in the film and I’m thankful to Anurag for it. How was it working with a National Award winning actor like Manoj Bajpai? He’s a qualified actor. He has been very supportive. He knew that I am a newcomer so he helped me with dialogues. He told me how to add the Bhojpuri element while delivering them. When I did it, everybody on the sets was simply amazed with my dialogue delivery. How was it working with a critically acclaimed director like Anurag Kashyap? He’s a complete prankster. It never gets boring when he’s around. He’s fun and always cracking jokes. At the same time, he makes sure that everyone is comfortable. He gives equal importance to everyone and makes sure they realise their importance on the sets. Your debut movie was Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! in 2008. Now, Gangs of Wasseypur in 2012. What kept you busy for four years? Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! released on 28 November, 2008. Just a month away from 2009, and two days after the terrorist attacks that happened in Mumbai. So the film couldn’t do well on the box-office despite the rave reviews. However, I kept on receiving offers after that. But all were cliché characters about a Delhi girl who smokes, drinks, and likes to abuse. I am not comfortable doing such character as they’re clichéd. I had signed a couple of films during that time though. But both the films didn’t happen. I started shooting for GoW in 2010. The movie is in two parts so it kept me busy. In between, I continued my passion for theatre and did some plays. So I’ve constantly been working. You’re also wearing prosthetics in the film. How difficult it was to shoot with them? It was very difficult. For example, if the shoot was at 8 AM, I had to be on the sets two hours before so they could put it on me. I am wearing two prosthetics belly in the film. One is six months old and the other is nine months. They were heavy. I couldn’t even use the toilet properly. But it was essential for the character and it did reflect in my performance. You also went to Cannes for the film. How was it? It was amazing. It was all beyond my imagination. A regular Delhi girl who was in a wheelchair for two months after going through a knee surgery, it was hard to believe. I was surrounded by critics, media and known people. It was beneficial for me as an actor as I got to interact with several people from the field. What’s the best compliment you received for the film? A lady journalist who was sitting next to me in Cannes during the screening asked me the name of the actress who played my character. She loved my performance and I felt that my hard-word paid off. Didn’t she recognise you? No, she didn’t. In the film, my look is completely different. And I’m actually glad that she didn’t recognise me but my look in the film is more of a village belle. I don’t wear outfits like those in real life. (Laughs) What’s next for you? My next film Tamanchey shall release by September. By August, I shall finalise the two international projects that I’ve in hand. I will divulge the details once they’re finalised. So let’s see. After Dibakar Banerjee and Anurag Kashyap, which director would you like to work with next? Mira Nair, Shekhar Kapur, Imtiaz Ali, Neeraj Pandey and the list goes on. I just want to do movies with a good script. I don’t desire money but I want to earn credibility and respect as an actor. Family time Rajesh Khanna is ailing. His former wife Dimple Kapadia has been by his bedside and daughter Rinke is flying down from London. Even Twinkle who is pregnant visits him regularly. His illness has brought the family together. Aamir’s mantra of excellence... Aamir Khan has never tried to fit into the mould of conventional Bollywood actors. He has lived life on his own terms and is one of the biggest superstars in the country. The versatile actor does whatever it takes and gets into the skin of the character. He has done movies that have pleased him, worked with new people and delighted us with marvelous performances each time in movies that have redefined cinema and impacted our lives, be it Qayamat se Qayamat Tak, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, Sarfarosh Dil Chahta Hai, Lagaan, Rang De Basanti, 3 Idiots, or Taare Zameen Par. His television show has created records and changes. He is currently preparing for Dhoom 3. Talaash is his next release. Who better than him, then, to tell us about what one needs to be successful and happy? 1Follow excellence, not success. If you follow excellence, success and fame will have no choice but to follow you. 2Do what makes you happy and content, not what makes you successful. If you like what you do and are happy doing what you do, you will do it well. 3Be grateful for all that you have. Love is the most important thing in life, along with health and care. Money and power cannot buy love, health and care. 5If you are powerful, use your power to help and benefit others. Power is of no use unless you use it to help others and contribute to society. 4Don’t compete with anyone. Try to improve and excel in your field. —HRM Bebo out, Deepika in Deepika Padukone is doing Karan Johar-Ekta Kapoor’s production with Emraan Hashmi. It is a very strong role.

The actor is especially fond of children and has spearheaded many initiatives to help under privileged children in India and abroad. In the past when quizzed about having his own kids Salman generally used to brush aside the topic. In fact, he would smartly counter the question saying he treats all the kids he supports through this NGO like his own! But looks like the recently celebrated Father’s Day has made Salman rethink his future rather seriously. He wants his own child and then adopt another one later.

Birthday bumps Mika Singh held his birthday bash with friends like Ekta Kapoor, Shaan, Kiran Bawa,Vivek Oberoi, Ayushmann Khurrana, Kishwer Merchant, Karishma Tanna, Vishal-Shekhar, and others. And thankfully there was no kiss controversy this time! Mystery of the title It is unfortunate that despite several denials, large sections of the media have begun to call Yash Chopra’s as yet untitled film starring Shahrukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma as Yeh Kahaan Aa Gaye Hum. This is completely baseless and the movie still remains untitled. While some have responsibly helped to set the records straight, others have chosen to continue to perpetuate this baseless rumour. Yash Raj Films requests all to await their announcement of the title of this much awaited film which resumed shooting in London earlier this month and has created a huge interest and buzz all around. This film also brings together the award winning pair of A R Rahman and Gulzar, who along with Yash Chopra, are working on creating some wonderful and meaningful music. The film is scheduled for a Diwali 2012 release, the festive time when Yash Chopra movies over the years have lit up homes worldwide. An astronomical ride...

	The year ahead Madan Gupta Spatu If your birthday is June 22... Health-related problems might cause discomfort. Do not let your relatives and friends manage your finances or you could soon be surpassing your budget. Use your head in romance as love is always blind. If you run from a situation-it will follow you in the worst possible way. Personal relationships may suffer due to lack of communication. There are chances of stomach ailments. At work, there can be annoying situations that will require attention and systematic planning. Avoid taking it out on others and don't be bitter. Involuntarily, you'll go to meet a friend and see your loved one talking to someone. This will make you angry and jealous. Now you can finally take that decision which puts an end to your hostile and unfavorable situation. Remember that it'll be enough for you to take the first step, the rest will come alone. Take this opportunity and correct it once and for all everything which is not right around you. Since you are number four, you are capable of handling large scale undertakings, assuming great responsibility, and working long and hard towards completion. Often, especially in the early part of life, there is rigidity or stubbornness, and a tendency to repress feelings. Number four people are trustworthy, hard-working, and helpful. Your usual structured thinking may be missing in action at the beginning of the week, so get feedback from a co-worker or another pertinent party. The upside is that an idea you have now can be a big winner, once you translate it into workable terms. In work duties, it is worthwhile that you evaluate the situation by looking for better concentration. This could give you excellent results. Those born after 1980 will have new energy in projects they wish to undertake. Sudden financial gains will change your mood. Intellectual group of people will offer a helping hand and assistance financially. If you are ready to work hard, you will meet your goals and make profits out of it. You need to take care of your health. Mars has been encouraging you to bide your time, but that's soon eclipsed by the restless energies coming in. A love interest makes a bold proposition, and you counter it with one of your own. Mood: Excellent but busy. Compatible signs: Taurus, Gemini. Lucky colours: Green, Aqua.
