The year ahead
If your birthday is July 24...
Venus has decided to put some harmony into your working environment. Why not promote cordial relationships with colleagues or employees? How about organising a get-together this year? An office romance may also happen. A new diet, fitness program, beauty treatments, a new hair style or cosmetic surgery are
favoured. Income will come from unexpected sources. Career can be quite challenging. Relationships may suffer due to lack of communication. Throat problems are likely. You'll be able to reap the benefits of a task, which you managed to fulfill. You'll be pleased with the results. Avoid being too arrogant as this could lead to misunderstandings and problems.

The scare dare test
Big CBS Prime brings a new horror show ‘13: Fear Is Real’, that will scare the viewers. This is the first ever reality horror show for the Indian audiences. Imagine the Blair Witch Project as a reality series? This is pretty much on the similar lines.
13: Fear Is Real is a spine-tingling series combining the horror genre with a reality show format. Contestants are taken on a journey with challenges and games are designed to frighten them on the way.

Zooming on Waheeda Rehman
Waheeda Rehman signed the Guide when her counterparts in the industry were doing love stories or family dramas. The yesteryear actress says she took up the 1965 film as a challenge because it highlighted the grey shades in her onscreen character.
The 76-year-old legendary actress, whose portrayal of Rosie was appreciated by the audience, said it was tough to play a rebellious character at that time when the film industry was not open to such roles.

HEART talk
Respect family values
I am a 16-year-old boy and I stay in a joint family. My father does nothing without asking his elder brother, and he has completely refused my request to let me take up deejaying. For everything I have to do, he first asks his brother. Don’t you think I should be allowed to make my own decisions?
You are too young to make your own decisions, and you shouldn’t be interfering in the functioning of the family. Yes, you have the right to express your likes and dislikes, but that does not mean you can function independently. Joint families work with some pattern, so try talking it out to the head of the family. I am sure something will work out.

For your eyes only
Tips on applying mascara: They say that the eyes are the windows to a person’s soul. The eyes can really speak for themselves and can often stand on their own. This is why it’s not surprising to know that make-up also focuses much on the eyes. There are so many things available nowadays to enhance the eyes — eye shadows or even eye accessories like eye extensions. And of course, there’s also the ever popular mascara. Mascara enhances the eyes by elongating the lashes and therefore accentuates the beauty of the eyes.
Stress buster
Take it easy
Stress, in addition to being itself, and the result of itself, is also the cause of itself. This is what the famous psychologist Hans Selye has said and I do agree with him completely.
Most people keep stressing all the time as a form of “really caring’’ about achieving a goal. But this is not about caring, it’s about stressing.
Relaxed magic: Caring is relaxing, focusing and calling on all of your resources, all of that relaxing magic to action when you pay full attention with peace of mind.

Bhardwaj, also stars Konkona Sen Sharma and Huma Qureshi. "I am not necessarily a daayan but then I could be the one! It is this very unpredictability about the film that I love most. It is a contemporary film set in today's
