	For fun’s sake Music composer-cum-singer-cum-actor Bhinda Aujla is okay with the Punjabi film industry churning out rom-coms Ashima Batish It’s too early to expect experimental cinema from the just-revived Punjabi film industry. Too early for it to spring up surprise thrillers or action flicks. Let it produce more romantic, funny, buddy films, let more singers become actors, let it tread the beaten path.. what is important right now is to mint money, get established and then take a step forward. Bhinda Aujla, a music director-cum-singer-cum- actor, who will debut with Jugnu Weds Jugni, doesn’t mind confessing that majority of the Punjabi films that’ll hit the big screens this year will again be rom-coms. There is still time for other genres to enter the mainstream. He is doing another film, Sajjan-The Real Story, again a comedy. “Punjab is a happy and prosperous state. People have money, they are well-travelled and haven’t seen the difficulties of life like people of other states. The reason, you can’t offer them cinema that isn’t enough entertaining.” But when it comes to present something new to the audience, he suggests history of Punjab makes for a perfect topic. Given the number of freedom fighters and revolutionaries from Punjab, films on the same will make meaningful cinema. “I realise that other regional cinemas make films on diverse subjects but you can’t draw a comparison between us and them. We should make ‘different’ cinema only when we are ready for it and not just for the heck of it.” He has over 300 tracks to his credit but composing three tracks for Jihne Mera Dil Luteya was the high point of his career. A trained music composer and singer from London, he feels that his life will change post the release of Jugnu Weds Jugni. “It’s a pure comedy and I am sure people will appreciate it.” He is happy to enter the queue of singers who graduated to become actors, a trend he finds in the interest of the industry. “People’s acceptance of Punjabi singers and actors is more as compared to actors as such. If they can help make a movie do well, I don’t see any harm if the trend is followed in the future too.” As for his success, he gives credit to his Godfather, Kamraan Ahmed, owner of record label, Movie Box, who he says helped him learn the nuances of music composition. This year, he believes the fate of Punjabi cinema will change. With the number of films releasing and Bollywood taking more and more interest in Punjabi film industry, one can safely say that the industry is faring pretty well. “When Akshay Kumar is ready to present a Punjabi film, it becomes evident that we are generating enough business.” That box office figures of last year hits reflect clearly. And he is happy to make his contribution to the same.
	Eat, play, love Delhi-based dietician Dr Shikha Sharma feels that the presentation of food plays an important role in inculcating the right eating habits among children Amarjot Kaur Dr Shikha Sharma, a Delhi-based dietician, who is also the member of Young Indians (YI), visited the city at the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII)-32 on Friday. At the conference that primarily focused on nutritional value, Sharma busted many myths related to food. “When women say that milk is the only source of calcium, I ask them if they have ever wondered where the cows get their calcium from. Moreover, most mothers add copious amount of sugar in the milk, which further goes down to drain whatever calcium it did have,” says Sharma with a rather assertive tone. “What really can serve as a good calcium base, are green vegetables and sesame seeds. Also, one needs to innovate when it comes to serving food to children. You can use an ice-cream cone and fill it with fruits, just top the filling with a little scoop of ice-cream and there is no way that a kid won’t relish it,” she winks. On how to persuade the children to indulge in healthy eating habits, Sharma offers a rather simple solution, “Children will do what you don’t want them to and will also copy what you do. So, play on it. If you prepare a bowl of sprouts or lentils and play them into eating the same, they will carelessly give in.” If you are wondering how to influence your child about healthy food, Sharma renders the key, “I know peer pressure messes with your child’s mind, which also gets in your way. And against your better judgement, you end up giving him or her a packet of chips and coke. I’ll suggest the parents to encourage their children to participate in group activities, when in a group; they will enjoy something as boring as a bowl of sprouts too.” Something for everyone While speaking volumes about the outlandish escapades that cater to the nutritional values as mentioned in the Ayurveda, Sharma draws focus on five keys to good health. “Besides establishing a close proximity with nature, and the intuitive wisdom that our body has, we should do away with the idea of attaining perfection because it is such a relative word,” she says. As she brushes her hair behind the ears, and answering to the general queries related with food, she smiles, “Do you know how good a half a glass of water can be, when taken right before the meal? It improves digestion and if you have ginger boiled in water early in the morning, it will help your body to digest all toxins,” she adds. To satisfy your sweet tooth, she advises dalchhini, which can also be taken by those who are diabetic. Fodder for emotions Like chocolate, which is capable of evoking feeling of love, food can play a major role in changing one’s behaviour. “According to a survey that was conducted recently at the juvenile prisons in the US, junk food makes children irritable and restless. When the prison authorities stopped serving them with junk food, sugar and aerated drinks, they found a considerable change in their behaviour; they were less agitated and their aggression level also came down. Children should be offered a healthy diet and Indian food suffices and has all the essential nutrients that are required for the proper growth of your child. Weight wise “It takes at least 20 minutes for the brain to process that the stomach is full,” quips Sharma, “However, if you do want to lose weight, there is nothing better than starting your day with a glass of lukewarm water with half a lemon in it.” While talking about women and their weight-related issues, Sharma turns red in rage, “I don’t understand why women harass themselves so much, we are all humans and everybody cannot be perfect. There is nothing wrong if you indulge in butter chicken on a diet. Don’t feel guilty, instead just stay calm and focus on having a balanced diet.” While enlisting a few food items that can help you in managing your weight better, Sharma said, “It’s best to have flaxseeds mixed in ‘roti’ to manage diet. Also, aloe vera juice is very good for digestion and it boosts your metabolism. Healthy living Never leave home on an empty stomach, even if it requires you to eat just a handful of sprouts. Avoid drinking fruit juices early if you have skipped breakfast. Instead, drink vegetable juice. Black pepper does not only cure cough but also keeps you warm during the winter. Keep your liver healthy, it has the ability to wash out maximum toxins from the body. Aloe vera, wheatgrass juice and barley water go a long way in keeping your liver healthy. Amla is good for hair.
	gyan zone Pixel perfect The annual exhibition of Chandigarh Lalit Kala Akademi highlights the conventional and unconventional mediums Manpriya Singh Sometimes movement is more important than an improvement. Each year, the Annual Art Exhibition 2012 by Chandigarh Lalit Kala Akademi promises a perceptible change. Somewhere in the names, at times in the works; this while it’s in the mediums. From etching and aquatint, pen on sheet, etching and chine colle to pen and ink; there’s a breather from the generally dominated oil on canvas and acrylic on canvas. Shares Diwan Manna, chairman, “This year, for the first time, we have a video installation. While it is very common at other places in the country, in Chandigarh, that is not the case. At least, it’s a first by the Akademi.” Annual affair The three categories namely professional, student and invited, aim at putting together the art from various sections. Starting with the award winners, there’s Alka Kalra’s Dhaba, an acrylic on canvas painting the picture of ordinary kitchen utensils. While 36 works figure in the professional category, maximum works, 48, feature in the student category. Says Manna, “Things are gradually improving. There is an influx of new talent because of their exposure to seminars and lectures. The only challenge is to retain the talent in the city.” By invitation only There are as many as 34 invited artists. Bheem Malhotra’s Snowscapes On The Way comes with his characteristic touch and features in the invited artists’ list. There’s JS Garcha’s acrylic on canvas, My City, is as blue as beautiful, comprising just the complex winding roots of a tree. While many have had their fare share of limelight, other names don’t seem so familiar, spring from nowhere and present a refreshing change. Selected artist Ajay Kalwaniya’s photograph of two kids at Lok Tilak Manya Station brings out the innocence of children amidst rubble. There’s Ila Choudhary’s Some Faces in My Life, a tapestry in silk. Mediums galore As many as 118 art works on display come packed with various mediums. To begin with, there’s Untalkable Video, a multimedia projection on display by Manjot Kaur. Satish Kumar’s Devil Tree, done in charcoal, stands apart for giving a beautiful touch of realism to abstract. There’s Master of Light, an inkjet print work by Diwan Manna, exploring the poetry and lyricism in light against the background of Corbusier’s work. Dev Inder’s Shadows and Flowers is as straight and simple as it can get and brings out the raw beauty of shadows and flowers. Moving on, the wooden sculpture by Gaganndeep Kaur, Bhukh Da Saathi, brings out the dynamism of a lunch box. Two steps away lies a half-eaten corn cob in stone, titled Chhalli by the same artist. There’s Sadhana Kumari’s work in wood, comprising a manuscript with a peacock feather titled Epic. Rahul Dhiman’s Daily Life, highlights the shadows of daily labourers and burden of a common man in the medium of collograph. This apart from other works done in splash of colours or dynamism of monochromes. Shares Manna, “Our job was just to invite. The selection has been done by the jury.” He adds, “But each year, the criteria remain the same. Good art.” manpriya@tribunemail.com On till January 24 at Sobha Singh Art Gallery, Punjab Kala Bhawan—16, Chandigarh

	Doc Talk Arm candy Vishal Thukral Having toned arms is something to die for. To reduce inner-arm fat, one must reduce overall body fat percentage. It is not possible to spot reduce a certain area on your body. Eating a healthy diet along with exercising on a regular basis will help to lose extra weight. During weight loss, specific toning exercises for inner arms are recommended to tone and strengthen them. Here, several easy arm toning exercises are suggested especially for women. The best way to get rid of ugly, flabby arm "meat" is to reduce the amount of fat in arms and tone arm muscles. Triceps dips This exercise can be done using an exercise bench or any sturdy, non-movable object that's about the same height as an exercise bench. Dips will give quick definition to the backs and sides of the arms, making them look athletic and diminishing flab. Start with two sets of 10 repetitions and work your way up to three sets of 15-20 reps as you get stronger. Do this exercise every other day for maximum results. How you do Position your hands shoulder width apart on a secured bench or stable chair. Move your booty in front of the bench with your legs bent and feet placed about hip width apart on the floor. Straighten out your arms and keep a little bend in your elbows in order to always keep tension on your triceps and off your elbow joints. Now slowly bend at your elbows and lower your upper body down towards the floor until your arms are at about a 90 degree angle. Be sure to keep your back close to the bench. Once you reach the bottom of the movement, slowly press off with your hands, and push yourself straight back up to the starting position Push-ups Regular or girly (modified) push-ups are a great arm toning exercise. They tone the biceps in the front of the arm and the chest. Push-ups are also great because they can be done anywhere and use your own bodyweight. Lie prone on floor with hands slightly wider than shoulder width. Raise body up on the floor by extending arms. Keeping body straight, lower body to floor by bending arms. Push body up until arms are extended. Repeat. Start with two sets 10-15 repetitions and work your way to three sets. Dumbbell bicep curls From a standing position, hold a dumbbell (1kg & increase weight as your strength increases with practice) in each hand (arms at sides). Keeping your palms facing up, slowly curl up both arms by bending at the elbow until your biceps are fully flexed; keep your elbows close to your sides during this exercise. Hold for a second, then slowly lower your weights back down to the starting position and repeat. Start with two sets 10-15 repetitions and work your way to three sets. Triceps extension Do the overhead triceps extension. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent and both arms directly overhead holding a dumbbell (minimum 2kg & increase weight as your strength increases with practice). The inside of your elbows should be touching your head. Slowly lower the dumbbell down behind your head and hold for two seconds, and then return to your starting position. Repeat for 20 repetitions, or until your muscle is tired. Start with two sets and work your way to three sets. Diet tips Stock up on fruits, vegetables and whole grains. These healthy food options will give your body the nutrients it needs to function properly, supply energy for exercising and reduce hunger. Remove unhealthy foods that include saturated fats, sugars and refined flours from your diet. Drink plenty of water. Water not only fills you up and eliminates hunger, but it also keeps your digestive tract functioning properly. Proper digestion is important for weight loss because it reduces water retention and flushes excess fat from the body. (Thukral is an aerobic fitness trainer)
	star track When John lost his cool John Abraham is not a regular at award shows. He attended one show recently and that left him with a bad taste in his mouth. A source says, "John attended the awards function with the rest of the cast of Shootout at Wadala to promote the movie which releases in the summer. He will be attending other award shows this season because of Vicky Donor which has been nominated in many categories. So at this particular show, he reached at eight and waited in his vanity van. After two hours, a boy from the event management company escorted him backstage and John was fine with it. He went and found that Ranbir Kapoor was still on stage and he had to wait for another hour for his segment. Then he got angry and gave a piece of his mind to the event managers from the company that organised the show." The source continues, "John is a cool guy and even tempered. He rarely loses his cool and does not throw his weight around. He is professional and punctual so he did not like the fact that he was made to wait for three hours and it was just unprofessional behaviour on part of the event managers! So he made his displeasure known to them." We hope John has a good time at the other award shows this season

	From struggle to success Randeep Hooda has established himself today after many years of struggle in the industry. He talks about his equation with Naseeruddin Shah, his love for horses and more. Love for horses I have a passion for horses and I sold my car in 2010 for just in Rs 1.5lakh in order to be able to feed them. They kept me alive and prevented me from jading. I maintain five horses at the Mahalaxmi Race Course. I put all my money into maintaining my horses. Even Naseeruddin Shah loves horses. Love long lost Breaking up with Sushmita Sen is the best thing that happened to me. I got fame but I was always sidelined. It was not like I was dating a Miss Universe and it not a matter of conquest for me. The biggest part of my relationship with Sushmita was my relationship with her daughter Renee. I have missed only one theatre rehearsal in my life and that was because Sushmita did not want me to go. Friend, philosopher, guide Naseeruddin Shah is my friend, guide, mentor, co-star, director, teacher. I admire him as a human being as well. He has some bitterness in him because he feels he has not been rewarded enough for his talent. He is revolutionary in many ways.

	chatter box Mohit's take on Khamoshiyaan Mohit Sehgal is a bit disappointed with the low ratings of his show, Mujhse Kuchh Kehti…Yeh Khamoshiyaan on Star Plus. The actor talks about the same Cutting out the melodrama The creative team understands that the viewers did not take a liking to the excessive rona-dhona and high-voltage drama that was shown initially. "Unfortunately, Khamoshiyaan was launched when there were no television rating points (TRP) and it took quite some time for us to understand what viewers wanted to watch," justifies Sehgal. He adds, "However, we are considering the feedback that we have received from our viewers. We will be introducing lighter moments in the show while focusing on the romantic sequences between Sid and Gauri (Mrunal Thakur)." Zooming in on romance "It's not the chemistry that failed to bring out romance between Sid and Gauri's characters, the show did not focus on the romantic moments between the two till now. So viewers got to see less of Mrunal and Mohit, which could possibly be the reason for such reports coming in," said Sehgal. Message to viewers "Please be patient as many changes have been made in the story line of Khamoshiyaan based on the feedbacks that we have got. Not all shows can become popular overnight, and not all the concepts that get conceived gets successful without facing a challenge. We will from now show what the viewers want to see. So please look for the changes before jumping into conclusions. I am being positive and hope that Khamoshiyaan does well in the future," he affirmed.
