Virtual vanity
Uploading pictures on social networking sites is no longer the same. Some youngsters hold special photo-shoots for their online profiles...
It's a social dilemma; you've got to look good to be appreciated, to get those Facebook likes and compliments that will leave you in high spirits. We are all, after all, social beings!
Fashion funda
Chirpy and lively Danish adds, "When Bani Seth, a photographer and a friend, asked me to get a photo-shoot I was more than keen; I picked up my make-up kit, a few dresses that I had bought from New Zeeland, a saree and was ready to go. After the shoot, I had people asking me if I was interested in acting. Moreover, my friends really liked the photographs." Abhinav Jain, 20, a Ludhiana lad, who is presently pursuing his graduation in International Business, shares, "I got my shoot done from a friend, Tushar Bhardwaj, who is also a photographer. I have flaunted my dad's 22-year-old limited edition Ray Ban shades and a Burberry shirt. Also, by virtue of this photo-shoot I have received a lot of friend requests and also a lot of Facebook messages, with beautiful compliments flowing in from even those who don't know me."
Behind the lens
Following the trend, Anupreet Sidhu, who has a Facebook page by the name of Sidhu Ji also likes clicking people as well as herself, "Well my idea of starting up with this page was to propel my career as a stylist and fashion designer. I upload my new designs on Facebook to get the pulse of the youth so that I can start with my own online fashion label under the name, Sidhu Ji." Anupreet also offers fashion advice through her Facebook page, "I cater to as many as 300 to 400 messages each day." amarjot@tribunemail.com

Tryst with big screen
After a fruitful innings on television, Dhriti Saharan is coming up with movies in different languages…
You might remember her from Boogie Woogie, Kya Masti Kya Dhoom, Aao Jhoomein Gaayien, Har Dil Jo Love Karega, Footloose, Kisme Kitna Hai Dum and of course, Indian Idol. Now that's just the television part! She sings and dances too, professionally. Dhriti has been busy recording for Sony BMG albums with Krishna Beura and Raman Mahadevan. She has also recorded her voice in Khatron ke Khiladi. Filmy world
"I used to look at myself in the mirror; my expression while eating, smiling or even crying. While I chose engineering as a profession I just couldn't let the filmi keeda out of my head. I just knew I had to follow my dreams. And the journey till now has been fantastic." Talking about her roles, it has definitely been a roller-coaster ride for Dhriti. While she debuted with her role in the movie Pure Punjabi, she has surely come a
long way! "From playing the role of a rich brat to being a sensitive woman, my roles in each movie have been poles apart. I also sang a song Dil Musafir in Sadda Haq, but it's only used for promotions." And what kind of roles is she looking at in future? "My expectations from future are a notch higher now. I am looking for a good script. I would love to do a peppy role like that of Kareena Kapoor or Priyanka Chopra." In demand
"I have nothing against item numbers or Punjabi lyrics; the directors and composers make only what sells and it works with the public. But yes, when it comes to the influence on children, it's a matter of concern. It's important to keep it entertaining and classy at the same time. I did an item number Billo thumka in the Punjabi flick Pinky Moge Wali, which was a superhit." When the actress is not on a set, she loves to sing, dance, travel and meditate, "And how can I forget shopping? I like to live a simple life with my family. I also love to spend time with my pet mouse, Robin. Everybody at my home is a pet-lover." "My hobby is my profession now. So I thoroughly enjoy what I do," she signs off.

The show aims to reveal the creatures that lurk in the murky depths of inland waterways. This season, Wade searches for the giant cousin of the piranha Viewers can follow him to Thailand where the adventurous angler goes in search of the largest freshwater fish, the giant freshwater stingray. Also known as the 'wish-you-were-dead' fish, this UFO-shaped marine monstrosity is said to measure about 16-feet long and seven-feet across and is approximately 1,300 pounds; but what could really kill is its 18-inch barbed, bayonet-like tail that could whip extremely painful venom through an unfortunate passerby. Jeremy said, "This season, I get into even more unfamiliar territory. The destinations are diverse, the stories strange, and the fish every bit as fearsome but in unexpected ways." Wade discovers a freshwater fish that can grow as long as a whale, a species of shark that lives in freshwater 100 miles from the sea, and a fish with teeth as big as a lion's as well as other creatures and moments captured on film for the first time. He attempts to capture these amazing creatures and tell their tales.

Confessions of a righteous saas
Why do you think Saath Nibhaana Saathiya is a hit among the audiences? I think that the show is popular because of the storyline and the saas-bahu relationship. My character, Kokila, is righteous and stands up for justice. She never accepts any wrongdoings from anyone. What kind of reactions do you get from the fans? My fans tell me that they love Koki and many women tell me that the saas-bahu relationship shown in the show is very inspiring and real. It is overwhelming to receive feedback from the audience as we work hard for them everyday. Do you also have a production company that produces plays? Yes, I have a theatre group, Panorama Art and we are into children's' theatre. We manage to produce 3 to 4 plays annually and over 40 to 45 kids participate in each play. Which TV actor do you like
the most? Surekha Sikri and Meghna Malik have a command over their craft and are brilliant actors. The way they portray their characters seems effortless and that is how acting should really be. Tell us something about
your family… My husband, Radha Krishna Datta is an NSD graduate and he runs our production company. My son is still studying and at times, he helps us out with our production company.

Workout anytime, anywhere
Anil Juneja Even if your are holidaying or if it is frequent travelling for business or nothing but sheer paucity of time....let there be no escape from your fitness routine! For the ones who do not want to miss on their fitness schedule while travelling or for those who want a quick, safe, easy and effective workout remedy at home, there is one sure shot solution: Sun salutation aka surya namaskar.
As a beginner, you may not be able to bring that synchronisation of breath and body movement, but with continuous practice you will coordinate both and take it to a higher level. Let us now learn the series step by step: Make sure to stand at the front of the mat to leave room behind for the subsequent steps: 1 Pranam asana: Exhale as you bring both your hands in prayer position in front of your heart. 2 Hast uttan asana: Start to inhale as your arms stretches up and backwards, letting your chest wide open and abdominals getting stretched without dropping your head back. 3 Padhasta asana: Begin to exhale as you bend forward. While doing so keep your back, arms and legs straight and bend down from your waist as far as possible. Try to bring your hands flat on the floor. 4 Ashwa sanchalan asana: Now as you inhale, stretch your right leg back and look up. Make sure that the left knee and left are in same line. 5 Ardha chaturanga dandasana: Holding the breath, take the other leg back as well and balance your entire body on toes and hands. Align your legs, hips, back, head and neck in one straight diagonal. 6 Ashthanga namaskar: Now exhale and lower your knees, chest and forehead on the mat while keeping your hips raised up. 7 Bhujanga asana: Start to inhale and lift your head and then chest up. Look up and arch your head and spine backwards. 8 Parvata asana: Now breathe out and lift the hips and tail bone up while straightening the arms and pushing the body backwards. 9 Ashwa sanchalan asana: Inhale and step your right leg forward in between your hands and look up. ( Position no. 4 and 9 is similar) 10 Padhasta aasana: Start to exhale and bring your left leg forward as well, aligning the toes and finger tips in one line and bending forward. ( Position no. 3 and 10 is similar) 11 Hast uttan asana: Start to inhale and lift your arms and spine upward until you arch them backwards. ( Position no. 2 and 11 is similar) 12 Tada asana: Start to exhale and lower your arms down. Stand upright with your body weight equally distributed on both feet. Repeat the same sequence with the left leg so as to finish one complete set. (Juneja is a Chandigarh-based yoga expert)

Big switch
Many Bollywood celebrities have lost considerable weight to look as glamorous or good as they do today. Here are some inspiring examples.
Sonakshi Sinha
She is super hot, pretty and stylish today but there was a time when she was fat and used to wear tacky clothes. A lot of hard work went in for her to lose weight and get fit but the efforts have paid off and she looks amazing! She indulges in her favourite chocolate treats from time to time and has a heavy lunch on Sundays. The workouts keep her in shape as she loves to eat.
She has been a pleasantly plump and pampered teenager with a pretty face. It worked fine for her till she was cast in Student of The Year and had to slim down for her role. Karan Johar gave her a few months to get in shape. She did that and even flaunted her new sexy figure in a bikini and looked good. She is fit now and exudes confidence.
She was nearly 90 kilos when she was in college. She did not care and was happy wolfing down pizzas. She had to get in shape for her debut in Ladies vs Ricky Bahl and has maintained a healthy weight at around 60 kg and has no desire to be skinny. She has had to give up her favourite pizza.
He was a fat kid and continued to be so when he grew up. He wanted to be behind the scenes so looks did not matter. Salman Khan motivated him to get in shape and become an actor. He followed his advice and has showed off his chiselled physique in both his movies and even posed topless for magazines. He is a big fitness freak now.

Slow & steady
Renee Singh
Sometimes without realising stress takes over our lives in such a way that food becomes our inherent comfort zone. Just chilling over a nice ice cream sundae or even indulging in a nice burger or pizza gives such a joy. I'm not saying you should give up on your gourmet delights either, it's just that a little bit of care on over indulgence is a must. Reducing bad habits
Monitoring what you consume and the timing of your eating habits is very essential. We seem to eat wrong foods quite often, and many a time our eating timing is not correct, all these little habits have an impact on our stress level. The one drink in the evening becomes a couple of drinks and the once a week pizza becomes a daily affair. Try making a well balanced diet schedule and sticking on to it. Also replace convenience food with certain foods which are considered healthy. Certain foods have been linked with poor overall health. Avoid food which is high in saturated fats such as meats cheese and butter products. Try a soya meal instead of meat, tastes great and is a healthier option. Reduce your daily caffeine dose by drinking either decaffeinated tea or coffee or supplement it with juice. A minimum of 8 glasses of water is a must. Dos and
dont's

Water management
Satish Narula The temperature is soaring with every passing day and the plants need more water. It depends on the type of plants and how these are planted, whether in pots, soil or baskets. You have to fix priorities. Different types of plants are there in the garden. Some are fruit trees, in bearing, and there are vegetables too in the kitchen garden. Even their watering needs are different. There are plants in soil or in pots and even in baskets. The plants in pots are also of different nature. Some may need water everyday whereas others may skip a few days. You have to understand their need. You learn by experience and for the beginners, here is the ready reference for fruit trees like litchi, mango, lemon, pomegranate, grapes, peach, plum and pear. Those which are in bearing should be given a good amount of water at three day's interval. So is the case with lemon and pomegranate but in these cases, unlike peach and plum, the watering should be light. Otherwise there will be dropping of flowers and fruit. There may be splitting of fruit too. This happens when a gap in watering is followed by copious watering. In case of litchi the reason for splitting of fruit is altogether different. It is due to the lack of water. Litchi is a heavy drinker when in fruiting stage. Give full water at least twice a week in the basin that should be made as wide as the spread of the tree. Dehradun cultivar of litchi is more prone to splitting than Calcuttia. In case of mango and pear, however, you can keep the frequency to 10 to 15 days. Grapes are again shallow rooted and need water frequently. Keep these watering at five days interval. In case of summer vegetables as in case of various cucurbits like kaddu, kheera, chappan kadu, lauki, tinda etc the watering is done in channels and the vine is spread on a dry patch. This not only conserves moisture but also saves the fruit from rotting due to direct contact with water in the summer heat. The frequency in this case too is kept at twice a week. Karela vine is trained on some support and if nothing is handy, a few dry twigs are kept under the vine to keep the fruit and vine raised so that these do no come in direct contact with water.

Glam up
Your sense of style is… For me, style is the best representation of yourself. I like to wear something stylish and elegant in the casual way. I always dress up according to my body type and something which I am most comfortable in. Latest addition in your wardrobe… Jumpsuits as I think they are very stylish and comfortable, especially in this hot weather. Brand freak or street smart? I am a smart shopper and I like to mix and match the things bought from both good brands and street markets as well. Choose one: sporty, glamorous or chic? Glamorous as any girl would love to showcase her feminity in glamorous clothes. Your style icon … I like Audrey Hepburn, Victoria Beckham and Sonam Kapoor because they are trendsetters, stylish and experimental with their clothes and looks. Who's the worst-dressed celebrity around? Celina Jaitely and Vidya Balan. Although they are good but I think they need a stylist. One fashion trend you don't understand… Baggy jeans or clothes Your take on accessories I like little funky accessories. I think you can experiment a lot with them and they can elevate even a normal attire. One thing that boosts your confidence Good clothes, my self-belief and love and affection from family and friends. You would like to be dressed up by…. Manish Malhotra as he is one of my favourite designers for his contemporary, chic, elegant yet stylish clothes. (As told to Manpriya Singh)

Let's admit it; we are all, to some extent, a bunch of narcissists. For what is humility, but an indirect boast! If your thoughts are still not in tune with the idea, we suggest you log into your Facebook account and analyse the pompous show of self-obsession in the profile pictures of your friends, relatives and even you for that matter! 
Now there's a very strange undercurrent that defines narcissism on a rather optimistic note, even as the young brigade takes to fashionable photo-shoots while uploading them on social networking sites. Danish Gill, 21, is extremely excited about getting her photoshoot done and she reasons her intentions while engaging in an interesting conversation, "I like getting myself clicked so that when I grow old, I can show my grandchildren how I looked when I was young. Pictures serve as memory banks; I am saving memories of me." 
Sharing a similar story, Kudrat Choudhary, 19, who is currently studying law, says, "Photography to me is an art that brings out a very different side of you, so I wanted to see that side of me. Initially I was a little nervous but when I looked at my photograph, I was awestruck as I looked so different. I didn't spend any money since a friend of mine, Bani, did my photo-shoot and her mother helped me with the make-up. I was wearing a peplum dress by Charlotte Rousse and another dress by Forever 21 for the shoot," she says.
Bani Seth, 18, shares, "Firstly, I am really fond of clicking my own pictures and probably that kindled my interest in mainly fashion photography. I started with it a year ago and I do a lot of fashion shoots for my friends; I don't charge because I enjoy my work. I'll take this up professionally once I get done with my photography course, for which I'll be going to London soon." 
While singing, dancing and television shows were just the beginning, Dhriti Saharan has now imprinted her acting talent on the big screen through the horizons of Punjabi, Telugu and Bengali movies. The biggest news that has hit the industry is the ban that has been lifted from her movie Sadda Haq. Along with that, she
awaits the release of her Punjabi-Bengali bilingual Teri Meri Ik Jindri with Partho Ghosh and another Telugu film Love Touch with Jayant is set for a release soon. 
When the apocalypse struck on the music of the nation, the one man
standing to take the charge, turn the table around and spin the world with his music was DJ Suketu aka Suketu Radia. Maybe that's why today he is ranked as the number one DJ. In Chandigarh Dj Suketu once again electrifies the hearts of the music lovers.
Sharad Kelkar's powerful voice gives him an edge over other television actors for, besides shooting for serials, he also dubs for Hollywood films. Recently, he dubbed for the film, Sumrfs 2 that will be releasing in the end of July. You will be surprised to know that he has even lent his voice to Adlabs Imagica's, Prince of Dark Waters.
He belonged to the Sisodia clan of Suryavanshi Rajputs who ruled Mewar. He, for centuries exemplified the qualities that Rajputs aspire to be and he is Bharat Ka Veer Putra Maharana
Pratap! Sony has launched the historical magnum opus-Bharat Ka Veer Putra Maharana
Pratap. The historical drama narrates the awe-inspiring story of Pratap Singh, one of the first freedom fighters that India ever saw. It brings forth the lesser known facts and achievements he made during his lifetime. Amitabh Bachchan has lent his baritone voice for the first time in a television soap series to introduce Maharana Pratap's history. The show highlights the relationship between mother-son Jaivantha Bai (played by Rajshree
Thakur) and Pratap (played by Faisal Khan) that became an integral part of Pratap's fight for
Mewar.
A warm personality and a powerhouse talent, Rupal Patel, cant get enough of her hit show Saath Nibhaana Saathiya. This NSD graduate talks about why she cherishes her role and what else she does in life.
Sun Salutation, the ancient yogic practise of prostrating to the Sun Lord, is a combination of twelve powerful yogic postures that work on all the fitness components namely strength, flexibility, stamina and stability. In fact, it is a complete body work out that can be done anywhere and anytime. The best part about it is that it does not require any specialised area (gym or fitness studio) or any heavy equipment. Just find a comfortable corner at the side of your hotel room or some space at that serene sea side, and in next 20 to 30 minutes you are done with a perfect and complete exercise regime.
She was a fashion designing student and highly overweight. Salman Khan was her angel and asked her to shape up and become an actress. He cast her in Dabangg when she lost weight and the rest is history. Sonakshi is not thin by any standards but she is a healthy Indian girl and her desi image works for her. She has to watch what she eats and workout as well.

We are what we eat. Convenience food is something we start filling our stomach with when we are under stress. This is also synonymous with junk food eating. If we want to reduce our stress levels then eating well must be a part of a serious program .Every morsel we are consuming is leaving a certain impact on our mind and body.
Every person has a sense of style in his own right. Yet, there are only a few who'd attract the second glances, who have the power to make the camera go zoom on them. It could be tousled hair, it could be the torn jeans. Our this week's face in the crowd Deepshikha Sharma, 24, model-cum-doctor, believes in dressing up to the core.
Actress Tanishaa Mukerji seems to be following the footsteps of her grandfather S Mukherji's as we hear that the actress has stepped into the business side of films.
