	Khiladi’s got competition David Dhawan's next film, a remake of Chasme Baddoor will clash with the release of Akshay Kumar's Khiladi 786. Gosh, we can just imagine how silly both movies are going to be! Leave me alone Director Prakesh Jha was irked when director Anurag Kashyap's work in Gangs of Wasseypur was compared with his film. So much so that he instructed media "not to ask questions about Anurag Kashyap.” “I have nothing to do with Anurag Kashyap. Why on earth shall I be compared with a director who is just a few films old? Please do not compare me with anyone. Parallel cinema is over. There was no survival of it in India. So people who talk about parallel cinema don't know the meaning. And I don't care what Anurag Kashyap is doing,” an annoyed Jha said. Prateik’s Banarasi act Bollywood actor Prateik Babbar says he was excited playing with guns and doing stunts in his first action movie Issaq. It is due for a release in two months, in which he plays a "Banarasi boy" in the lead role. Based in Banaras, it's a Romeo-Juliet kind of story and he is a kind of "killing machine" in the film. He is a Banarasi boy who kills for a living.

I used to switch off the lights and watch the show with my sister and daddy. And the funniest part was my sister and I used to get so scared sometimes that we use to close our eyes and cover up faces. But we never stopped watching it,” laughs Esha.

	GET PHYSICAL Killing the cramps Anil Juneja Pre-menstrual syndrome or PMS is a group of symptoms that start showing five to ten days before the period. Most women have at least some symptoms of PMS, and the symptoms go away after their period (menstruation) starts. For some women, PMS is just a monthly bother. For others, it may be so severe that it makes it hard to even get through the day. Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is characterised by uncomfortable mental and physical state that can occur about two weeks prior to menstruations. Some psychological manifestations of PMS include anxiety, depression, irritability, anger, confusion and forgetfulness. Physical symptoms include tenderness of breasts, migraine, nausea, changes in energy level, swelling of arms and legs, feeling bloated and back pain. In that case yoga asanas are helpful to ease the pain and makes you feel relaxed. Yoga can relieve both psychological and physical symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. But the yoga practice should be gentle, so that abdomen remains inactive throughout the practice and menstrual flow can continue unobstructed. Inverted yoga asanas should be completely avoided. These two yoga poses are gentle and suitable for relieving menstrual pain: Shishu asana (Child pose) To start with, sit on your knees with your feet together and buttocks resting on your heels. Separate your knees about the width of your hips. Place your hands on your thighs palms down. This is the vajraasana. Inhale deeply and then exhale as you bring your chest between your knees while swinging your arms forward. Rest your forehead on the floor, if possible. Now bring your arms around to your sides. Breathe gently through your nostrils as you hold the posture. Hold for about one to two minutes. Then return to the vajrasana. Repeat the posture 2 to 3 times. Bhujang asana (Cobra pose) To start with, lie flat on the stomach on the mat with legs straight, feet together, toes facing outside, and forehead on the floor. Keep the palm on the ground beside the chest. Inhale slowly and raise the hand and trunk as in the shape of hood of the cobra. Hold the position as long as you can, without experiencing any difficulty. Now exhale, while lowering the body. Repeat 3-5 times. (Juneja is a Chandigarh based Yoga and fitness expert)
	Go-getter Chase your dream Vasudha Gupta Following one’s dream is like falling in love...just as uncontrollable...if you don’t follow your dream then all that is left is regret. Guided by thoughts like these, Jasleen Aulakh has defied the standard norms to pursue her dream and become a musician. She studied Hindustani classical music in college, went to Pondicherry and has jammed with musicians. Motivational factor Known for a famous folk song, Jasleen credits her mother, Polly Saghera, as the sole reason for her success. A writer and lyricist, Polly’s contribution towards Jasleen’s singing career is beyond imagination. “According to her, I will realise her dream by becoming a famed singer,” Jasleen shares. Not only in terms of working technically with Jasleen’s music, her mother has also paid no heed to societal pressures. “Not everyone reacts very well to singing as a profession,” she adds. Feathers in the cap Jasleen’s claim to fame has been the folk song, which had a huge Youtube presence. Director Kabir Sadananad, during his search for shooting locations for Project 36, stumbled across her video and tried to get in touch with her. Few sessions of recording and Jasleen flew to Mumbai where she recorded the song based on the same folk song with Polly’s lyrics and a new tune. Having undergone training under Pandit Yashpal, Jasleen’s true calling was realised when she went to Pondicherry. Her band, back in Pondicherry, Organic Baham, played in and around Pondicherry. Currently her band, Just Ittefaaq, has Polly Saghera writing lyrics, Rohit Joshi on the lead guitar and vocals, Gaurish, the percussionist and Jasleen on the vocals and the rthyhm guitars. All set with the recording, the girl is keeping her fingers crossed, for Just Ittefaaq’s first album Polly’s Diary is about to come out. Working on music with meaning, most of Jasleen’s songs capture the essance of social stigmas. The band plays folk and Sufi music but does not limit to any particular genre. The band blends an assortment of musical instruments to achieve a unique sound. Flipside of being an achiever A fresh breath of music in Chandigarh, Jasleen’s only encounter with the flipside has been some of the reactions for doing something unconventional. Especially from those people who are not aware of the hard work and dedication that go into a profession like singing. Because such negative comments are completely forgotten when crowds are more than responsive. Words of wisdom “Get out, follow your dream and just do it,” she says with an air of confidence. “Set a time limit to achive what you really want to do and stay focussed,” she adds.

They have some special dishes for the rains. “We have spinach and cheese ravioli to be enjoyed.

While there is no denying the fact that traditional Indian food (read samosa, pakora, jalebi) are best enjoyed in the rains, but for the wide-travelled, Indian gourmet food values more than the desi palate. “Considering that our city people love the weather, we have introduced cake shakes especially for the monsoons. Other than this, we have the dark chocolate cakes. Rest every dish has some spice added to it,” says Priya Garg, director, Ovenfresh. Those who want some Pan Asian flavours will get a great deal at Hotel Icon in Sector 8. “Considering the down pour we have started the monsoon buffet where we are offering four starters, sixteen main course dishes and three desserts,” says Dilsher Sukhija. Everything at an unbeatable price of Rs 285! That’s not the end of delicacies, for some Indian zayaka, Hotel Western Court has started its mango festival. “Mangoes are synonymous with monsoons so we have the mango festival and connoisseurs can enjoy the aam panna, peeti wali puri with aam ras and murgh keri,” says Rajeev Kakkar, group general manager, Hotel Western Court. That’s not all, they also intend to begin the world cuisine festival for the season. If you are in love with burgers than a drive to Hotel Mountview won’t be a waste, here you can enjoy the Burger ‘n’ coolers festival.

	the ‘in’ side A touch of bling Sukhmani Add a bit of sparkle to the interiors of your home. You don’t have to go over-the-top with all bling, just a subtle touch of it is enough to enliven a room and add some luxe. I’m talking about sophisticated and elegant bling that promises your home some shine. You can add glitter to any area, be it your bathroom or living room. Here are some tips to help you add that wonderful shine to your house– Just one statement piece, like a chandelier, mirrored furniture or mercury glass home accessory in a corner is enough to raise the bling element in a room. Too much of shine will make your decor look garish. Use a metallic wallpaper to accent a wall in a room. Metallic wallpapers are a rage today and it is one of the easiest ways to add some glam to your living space. You can also find some wallpapers that are embellished with swarovski crystals. Silver works best with cool colours like aqua blue, sea green, ivory or grey. Use gold with bold colours like bottle green, teal, peacock blue or plum. Bronze pairs well with red, orange or aubergine tones. Metallic finish on a piece of furniture can do the trick too. Remember that metallic finishes usually make furniture appear larger. You just need one piece of furniture that will make your guests stop and admire it. Hang crystal lighting fixtures. A crystal chandelier makes a bold statement in any room. Display photographs in crystal, silver or golden coloured frames on a side table. Such a collection usually looks very stunning. Place a piece of antique mirror furniture in a room. This type of furniture works well with traditional decor as well as in contemporary settings. Bling can be added to a bedroom by using mirrored side tables, headboards, beautifully embellished cushions or a bed runner. Luxurious fabrics like silk, velvet or satin would be ideal. Kitchens can be made to shine and sparkle with the use of stainless steel sinks and appliances. Consider using countertops that have sparkle built right in them. You can use chrome, brass or polished nickel fittings. Metallic tiles can add the needed pop of bling to kitchens as well as bathrooms. Display collections of clear or transparent coloured glassware or cut glass on mantles and shelves. Many glass dishes and containers can be transformed into candle holders or used for floating candles. Nothing adds sparkle like candles and glass. Mirrors are an excellent way to add light and space to a room. Move slowly, adding single pieces until you get the right balance of sparkle in your space. So go on and add a bit of bling to your house today! (Sukhmani is a Chandigarh-based Interior & Landscape designer)

	Yash’s high five We have seen Yash Tonk playing various roles on television as well as in Bollywood. When it comes to movies, he likes the old classics more than the recent movies. We caught with the actor to speak about his five favourite films… Mother India It was India’s first entry to Oscars. A classic and my all time favourite. If you look at the film, you will be amazed at how it was shot during those days when there was lack of technology. From bullock cart to horse, the film showcases extremely beautiful rural India. Sholay Sholay was the beginning of entertaining cinema. It had everything. Friendship, romance, revenge, it had everything. The movie has been made really well and it remains a favourite of many people and not just me. Mughal-E-Azam When it comes to movies, I am really in love with the old ones. Mughal-E-Azam is another film that I love. Be it the songs or the story, the movie is a masterpiece. Devdas I like the old Devdas. I can’t imagine anyone playing the character of Devdas other than Dilip Kumar. I loved him so much in the film. His simplicity, charisma, everything about him is marvelous in the film. Rang De Basanti It is a very different film than what we get to see today. It was not only written well but the thoughts were also put so fabulously in the film. It isn’t an easy film and I am sure the actors really worked hard for their characters.
