Jazzy Jiving Jatt
He was out in the fields; life was pretty easy. He picked up a fight whenever he wanted to; love whenever he wanted to. He is back from hibernation, he has come back from Canada; he has slipped into the finest trendy clothes and he just bought a Land Rover. The jatt of Punjab is back in cinema and in a new avatar.
"Jatt & Juliet, Carry On Jatta and now Singh Vs Kaur, it is the very jatt titles that are coming back into trend; the typical character remains the same. Singh Vs Kaur, produced by Gurfateh Films and Sippy Grewal, is a complete entertainer and one of the most stylised films made in Punjabi." Now for the man who brings in the entertainment factor — Gippy Grewal. A totally different look and style, Gippy has also sung all the songs of the film. Diversity is the name with him. "I understand that comedy is ruling the roost; with Singh Vs Kaur I have tried to give it a new meaning. My look is something different; it goes with the character, which I am sure the audiences will appreciate." What of the resurgence of the jatt name in cinema after a long time? Does anyone remember Jatt jeona maur...Jatt da gandasa "Jatt has been the likeable character, some of the movie-watchers would relate to it. It is the same jatt who is known to entertain people in a new set-up." Singh Vs Kaur releases next month in February. The movie is high on action as well, which is executed by Ram-Laxman who did the original Dabangg Down South. The movie boasts of music done by Jatinder Shah. Gippy, the singer adds, "I enjoy acting and singing, and when I have to act on my own songs the result is far better." While music was being talked about, we catch a sight of a man who looks familiar. Dr Zeus of Kangana fame was there to support his friend along with cricketer Harbhajan Singh. Dr Zeus doesn't have tattoos all over his body and he has a greater interest in talking about music than style. "I am working on a number of compositions. I will be performing in Chandigrah around next week," he says. Dr Zeus has done tracks on Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and wishes to work with Punjabi actors. "I make killer music," he smiles. Talking about killer music, one man around definitely has a killer presence — Harbhajan Singh. He has Punjabi music on his i-Pod, he likes Gippy Grewal as an actor and he has things to say about Punjabi cinema. "It is great thing that our films are a global phenomenon," he says.

Drew baby-proofs home
Actress Drew Barrymore is protective of baby daughter Olive and has reportedly spent $ 80,000 baby-proofing her home.
The 50 First Dates star, who became a mother for the first time three months ago, is determined to protect the tot as much as possible and so wants to make sure there's nothing in her home that can harm her.
"She is being overprotective to the next level. But it's also so sweet. She loves this child so much," a source said. Barrymore, who married husband Will Kopelman when she was pregnant with Olive, has had baby monitors installed in every room, pointy edges around the house softened and all the electrical sockets raised. Friends say the actress, who was in rehab by the time she was 13, wants Olive to have the safe and secure upbringing she never had. "She'll do everything it takes to keep Olive safe because no one did that for her when she was a kid," the source added. — PTI

The Think Like A Man hit-maker has been engaged to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) superstar David Otunga since 2008. He is all set to branch into acting with a role in The Call and Hudson said that she has a new

Wait & watch
Schrader said it will be months before he'll let critics and fans see the movie, which also stars adult actor James Deen, because he fears the project will be unfairly savaged because of the embattled Mean Girls star Lohan's involvement. "The intense reactions to Lohan's 2012 TV movie Liz and Dick and the Times magazine article have made us realise that there will be an immediate blowback once The Canyons is publicly screened. "That's the nature of anything involving Lindsay. In a way it's good we're not at Sundance. We weren't prepared, we weren't organised," he added. But Schrader insists his decision to stall screenings have nothing to do with the quality of the movie. "The film is very good. I have no qualms about that." — PTI Bad time: Lindsay Lohan

Ground work
Deepa cast Saran as the love interest of protagonist Saleem Sinai after working with her in Cooking with Stella. "Deepa believed in me for this role. The trickiest part was to play a girl in 1947, who lives in slums. I did not know how slum life was back then. We had a workshop. She made me work in Mumbai slums for about two months to understand the life there," Saran said. The 30-year-old actress believes Parvati is the role of a lifetime. She is looking forward to the release of the film on February 1. The film is being released in India by the PVR Pictures. "Parvati is born seven seconds after the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947. She has got special powers. It was a challenging film to shoot because it was not easy to fit the entire book into two hours. The film is a mirror image of India of that time. The interesting thing is that our dreams and aspirations have not changed much over the years," says Saran. The actress, who made a name for herself by starring in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi films, says she loved Rushdie's novel so she was delighted to relive the moments as a character. "We relived those moments through this film. Every character has something to say and our biggest challenge was to put everything together. About 50 pages are sometimes fitted into one minute but there is a harmony. Salman (Rushdie) loves all the changes that we have made in the film. He said he wished he could have thought about the changes while writing the book," says Saran. Saran, a trained dancer in kathak and Rajasthani folk dance, also had an opportunity to indulge in her passion during the film. She is seen dancing with abandon in one of the scenes. "I am wearing my mom's old jewellery for that scene. I showed Deepa some dance movies and she told me to just dance. I am singing this Rajasthani folk song which fits in that situation. It is a beautiful scene." Saran, who has starred in films like Sivaji: The Boss, Awarapan and Pokkiri Raja, is busy working on a number of other projects. "I think that the best part of being an Indian actress is that you can be a part of so many different films in different languages. I am doing Valmiki Ki Bandook in Hindi and have some projects down south. I am just going with the flow." — PTI

Hilary robbed in Paris
Oscar-winning actress Hilary Swank was caught up in a violent robbery when her purse was stolen while she was in a taxi in the Parisian suburb of Saint-Denis.
According to a police source, Swank, 38, was sitting in the back seat of her taxi and thieves pounced on the taxi whilst it remained stationary in the northern part of the city.
Three thieves smashed the back window of the taxi and snatched Swank's designer purse from her hands before making off with the loot. The suburb of Saint-Denis is notorious for its frequent traffic jams and over the years an influx of 'smash and grab' robberies have become increasingly common. As of yet, the PS, I Love You star has not issued any statement relating to the robbery. — PTI

10-year plan
"Producers tell me I have got good and better 10 years now. And I think the same. I feel I have improved as an actor, human being and I am far more relaxed. It is great to be here," he said. John had made his acting debut in 2003 with Jism, followed by Saaya (2003), Paap (2004), Lakeer (2004), the films that did not run well at the box office. However, Yash Raj Films' Dhoom released in 2004 proved to be a success and was followed by other hit films like Dostana, New York, Force. Last year, John had produced Vicky Donor, a romantic comedy film directed by Shoojit Sircar. John said when he made his debut in 2003, he was afraid that he might have to pack his bag soon. "When I came here into the industry with Jism, I felt I would be here for three months and then go back to work...This was in 2003 and it has been 10 years now," he said. The actor said the newcomers should not harbour any pre-conceived notions about the industry. "To the newcomers, I would say 'don't come here with any pre-conceived notions like only industry kids get work'. I am not from the industry and so are Akshay Kumar and Shah Rukh Khan. The industry is an open space," he said. — PTI

Par Excellence
Putting is a game within a game. It is completely different from the long game as the shape of the putter is different from the other clubs. The head has a little loft and is designed to get the ball rolling as soon as possible while the other clubs are designed to get the ball airborne. The shape of the grip is different too. The grip on all clubs must be round but in a putter the grip has a flat surface on top and is shaped to fit into the palm on the underside. As the shape of the grip is different it is recommended to employ a different grip while putting and not the grip used in the long game.
The reverse overlap is the most commonly used grip in putting and also the recommended one for all types of golfers. Other non-conventional grips are used by players to reduce the work of the hands especially when a player has the yips. These could be the reverse grip (left hand lower than the right) or the claw. The belly and the long putter also reduce the work of the hands but are going to be banned from 2016. The index finger of the left hand (for right handed golfers) is extended and placed over the right hand’s fingers after taking the grip (picture 1). This reduces the work of the wrists through the putting stroke. Do not extend the index finger of the right hand down the shaft as this is a very powerful finger and though it gives the feeling of improving direction it adds power and flips the putter upwards. This added loft imparts backspin to the ball making it roll less. Another variation of this is to place the extended left finger along the shaft of the putter and place the right hand at the same level as the left hand with its fingers on top on the left hand (picture 2). To adopt this, the grip has to be a little over size or thicker. The main idea in this is to get the putter completely in the palms in both hands. If you are using the same grip as in the long game try switching to one of these to improve your putting. If you are a good putter do not change as any grip which works can be used. (Grewal has coached several national champions and professionals apart from being coach of the Indian golf team for the Eisenhower Cup (World Cup) in 2008. He is currently the Director of National Golf Academy of India and CGA Hero Honda Golf Academy. If you have any queries get in touch with him at |

Master Chef
There are dessert recipes that require a long, elaborate technique and multiple steps. There are others that are quick, simple and easy to execute. There are dessert recipes which have a half a mile long list of ingredients. And then there is caramel custard! Milk, eggs, sugar and vanilla. I mean how difficult can those be to lay your hands on? Bitter sweet caramel flavour paired with firm and decadent vanilla custard, it’s a combination made in heaven! You can cut the sweetness by serving a sliced acidic fruit with it like mango or strawberry, or a dollop of whipped cream. I for one am very happy with just the caramel custard, and lots and lots of it!
*
Divide the sugar into two halves. In a heavy pan on a low heat, place ¾ cup of sugar. *
Twirl around gently without stirring with a spoon until the sugar melts completely. *
A spoon if lowered into the pan will promptly pick up hundreds of sugar grains on itself. They will be difficult to shake off back into the “melting pot”! *
Do not be tempted to raise the heat either. You may end up with scorched sugar that will only be fit for the dustbin. *
When the melted sugar syrup is golden brown, pour it into 6-8 small metal bowls, or one large one. *
Tilt around to coat the bottom of the bowls. Pre heat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). *
In another vessel, beat the eggs, milk, vanilla and the remaining ¾ cup of sugar together. You can speed up this process by first warming the milk with the sugar till the latter dissolves. Cool slightly, then whip in the eggs and vanilla. *
Pour boiling water in a shallow tin and place the bowls in them. The bowls should roughly be standing in a one inch depth of water. *
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the centre comes out clean. Remove from pans to cool on wire racks. *
To un-mould, run a knife around rim of cups and invert onto dessert plates. *
Serve warm or chilled. (Nijhowne is a Chandigarh-based culinary expert)

Punjabi Tadka
I can’t believe I am
a celebrity People tell me that I have become famous. I think I am still the old Sharry Mann who loves his family and friends. Sometimes, when I sit alone, I wonder what have I become. When people say nice things about me I feel grateful and humble. I wish I could Out of the many things that I want to do, I want to take a bus ride to my village along with my old friends. I want to walk down the same route and spend time with friends like I used to in college. Songs with a soul Yaar Anmulle was a song dedicated to friends, everyone could connect to it. Same goes for Aate di Chiri, which talks about a soul connection with mother. Whenever, I sing a song, I feel I am and it is this feeling that I wish to translate to the listeners as well. Actor singer, singer actor I like to sing, I am a singer. I connect to the medium. And now I have decided to take the plunge in acting with Oye Hoye Pyar Ho Gaya. I am still pretty new it, let’s see how it goes. Live junction It is fun performing live, the energy the response from the audiences’ keeps me alive on stage.

Doc Talk
We are in the heart of winter, and marking the beginning of a new year. It is a beautiful time to make room for a new you. With exercise, good nutrition and personal care, make time for a new beginning that takes you out of any darkness of the past, and a new light is born within you.
No crash diets Good nutrition is of utmost importance. More and more women of our thriving city are moving out of the concept of crash diets and realising the importance of good, wholesome meals. At the same time, there is an equal realisation that there is no reason for our good eating habits to go for a toss simply because the mercury is dropping daily. Dry fruits make for a delightful snack as the chill sets in. But despite the delicious flavours of the various kinds of dry fruits, remember that the ‘fist-full’ rule applies. Take a fist full of the dry fruits of your choice and make it part of your daily diet. It is enough for you. Traditional wisdom rightly promotes the consumption of sweets made at home using sesame seeds (til) and jaggery. Both are an important source of calcium and ideal during the winter months. Jaggery and dates are a good substitute for sugar. Fluid intake is highly important too. Fill yourself with good soups and herbal teas to keep the chill at bay. Work out One thing that definitely suffers in such cold, cold days is the exercise routine. Women must remember that regular exercise, regardless of the weather, is of utmost importance to keep their bones strong. There are many health problems that women can avoid simply by regular exercise. Weight control, of course, is the other major reason why exercise is so important for you. Exercise is a vital part of preventing osteoporosis. This disease is particularly bad and strikes mainly in women. A good, brisk walk is just what you need to keep your body in great shape, and your bones happy and healthy. But during foggy days, you may not feel like stepping out for your regular walk. So, through these weeks, you can continue light exercise indoors like stretching and light workouts. Exercising on a regular basis will also keep your weight under control, and help you avoid health problems that come with being overweight. If you have a family history of heart problems, then regular exercise is essential for you. Exercise increases your heart rate and breathing, and keeps your heart healthy. Remember, the heart is a muscle too. Personal care Personal care, of course, must be underlined. Hair care and skin care during the winter is important. Equally important is the overall care of your body. A regular check-up must be an essential part of every woman’s health plan. A yearly health examination is highly important. Good diet and exercise will give you a healthy body. Combine it with an annual health check-up. It is your best investment for good health. |

For your safety
A recent study of ASSOCHAM Social Development Foundation (ASDF) reveals that around 92 per cent of working women in all major cities across the country feel insecure; especially at night. The survey covered mostly women working in key segments such as BPO/IT, hospitality, civil aviation, hospitals and garment units, among others.
Not surprisingly, the study revealed that North region topped the list with 92 per cent women respondents complaining that they felt unsafe. While 85 per cent women felt the same in South, 82 per cent felt unsafe in East. Keeping the current scenario in mind, with the rising crime rate in the country against senior citizens and women, Midas Care introduces Bodyguard, a self-defense pepper spray, available in a handy size, fits easily into ones purse, pocket or bag and is effortless to use. It temporarily immobilises the attacker, inflaming the eyes, nose, throat and lungs, causing temporary blindness, severe burning sensation on skin, swelling of breathing tube tissues and systematically cuts off all except breathing. So the victim can escape. —TNS

A lesson in hosting
I always look for something different, especially when it comes to doing the same roles in serials. Welcome is different and is about entertaining guests as well as food. How good a cook are you? I can't cook, but can take care of our guests. I have learnt to be a good host from my dad. Also, I can throw a good party, but cooking is something that I have never had to do; so I didn't learn it either. What will be your role
in the show? I will be seen interacting with celebrities and will try to get them to open up as much as possible before the camera. Who are your idols
in acting? I love Robert De Niro and Johny Depp because they believe in doing good work and not talking much about it. What do you think of Mehmaan Nawazi, which is the tag line of the show? The concept is based on the art of entertaining guests. Besides being passionate about food, Indians also like to take care of guests. The entire experience is the basis on which we will judge the guests in the show.

The show must go on!
Have you shot the last episode of the show? Yes, I did and was miserable. I woke up to the realisation that I won't be able to shoot anymore. I've already started feeling the pain of not being able to shoot. Do
you think the show went off air because of TRPs? No, rather I think that it was doing really well. Most shows don't have a finite story. Moreover, we took the big risk of making a show on the subject of domestic violence. However, taking it off the air also involves a lot of risk. Many people felt that the subject of domestic violence was portrayed too graphically. What's your take? No, I think it created awareness among women in India as well as abroad who have been through domestic violence and kept quiet. The show gave them strength to step
forward. Was there a need to show so much domestic violence on television? In fact, it's good that we depicted domestic violence behind closed doors; now people know what actually happens. It is about time that the issue
is addressed. What's next for you? I recently shot for a cooking reality show titled Welcome and will soon launch a Punjabi film with my wife
Teejay.
