No kidding
"The weekly newsletter prepared us for what was to come. It was such a blessing to know the different changes occurring in my body are normal. Even better was post delivery, the weekly details filled me up on all that a mum should know," says Sneha. Internet is a modern storehouse of knowledge and people from all walks of life are taking recourse to it. Parents are no exception. So picking up baby's names to helping kids with their homework to exposing them to a world full of opportunities, everything is just a click away. Dr Swapana Singla, mother to Rihan and Akira, often resort to the Internet for help. "I bank on Wikipedia, name an issue and you find solutions on it," she says. Aman Mohal, an entrepreneur from Mohali, finds a constant partner in the Internet, which is of great help in raising her girls Ishmehar and Hasrat, studying in class ninth and seventh, respectively. "Not only regular projects, there is plethora of stuff one can do. We do science and vocabulary quizzes during summer holiday and creative writing on weekends," says Aman who being a working parent thanks the kid-centric sites that help her save resources. "Imagine doing a vocabulary worksheet from dictionary? Courtesy englishclub.com, the work that would have taken hours gets done in minutes," she says. Well, learning is one aspect, saving memories another. Joognu.com is one portal that lets you save pictures, videos and more of your child; there is also the option of gifting this talking visual diary the day your child turns 15! The founders, Anrivan Dam along with wife Pallavi Dam, busy in corporate jobs were worried about not spending enough time with kids Vivaan and Aaria. Some thought and this venture came into being, which lets parents share their memories online! In two years of their presence they have 20,000 users in more than forty-five countries. If their photo album is popular, diaries are a hit too and their latest offering is video newsletter. "We are overwhelmed by the response. Our generation saw inland and postcards being exchanged. No one has time and energy for that today, they can do so on Joognu now," says Anrivan, who quit his job to take care of his growing website. Not just help, if you want your child to turn a model, kidiezone.com helps you get a portfolio done, puts you in touch with model coordinators and more. So no regretting the fact that India doesn't have talent managers, you have online help. Music, art, maths, magic; name a thing and hundreds of sites pop open to show the way. Hold you child's hand, research a bit, cross check some more and make the most of the free resources

Call of the mountain
When Robert Macfarlane, the author of Mountains of the Mind: A History of a Fascination, writes that those who travel to mountain tops are half in love with themselves and half in love with oblivion, his words find an echo in the expeditions of Rajeev Saumitra and Ameet Singh. At first sight, these gentlemen come across as regular people...only till they introduce themselves as mountaineers.
"I am a director at a coaching institute and also teach geography. As a subject, geography has always guided my interest towards the mountains, which are pivotal to the safety of our nation and are beautiful to a degree beyond expression," says Rajeev, who scaled Mount Everest in May this year. Elated at the accomplishment, Rajeev gives a detailed description about his journey towards The Everest, "At the age of 39, I enrolled for a course in mountaineering at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Mountaineering, Manali, in September 2011. After a month of training, I went for an expedition to the island peak (6181) in Nepal. In the beginning of 2012, I made the first attempt to climb Mount Everest but due to bad weather conditions, had to return after climbing 8000 metres." He adds, "In May 2013, I climbed the peak and once I reached there, I removed the oxygen mask to feel the air amidst the snow desert. Though the climb was relatively easy, we did have minor trouble while descending. Our toes would hurt constantly, but when we got down it all seemed like a distant dream to have been on the top of the highest mountain in the world." Ameet Singh, who hails from Pune, is more motivated each time he experiments with his physical endurance while employing it to climb a mountain! "I am an out of work businessman and was last working at setting up a power IPP. Closure of that gave me an opportunity to renew myself in another way. I am driven by a need to push myself ; I have climbed some of the world's highest mountains, including Mount Elbrus in the Russian Caucasus range (5642 meters) on August 7, 2013," he
smiles. amarjot@tribunemail.com
risky venture
Rajeev agrees that mountaineering is most dangerous and expensive sport. "I have seen people die right in front of my eyes. It will be one's biggest folly to assume that mountain climbing is an easy task, so it is apparent that one must take adequate safety measures; the most important being acclimatisation. Often, on a higher altitude, the air pressure decreases, our bodies start to fatigue and one tends to become nauseous. Due to lack of oxygen, one's head starts to ache; our body's inbuilt alarm that suggests that one must stop climbing. Ideally it is advisable to climb about 1,000 metres in a day, lest you fatigue yourself to death," he says. |

Pretty in pink
Neha is well versed the eating joint scenario at Elante Mall, she just hopes for the best before she takes us through the 'petite' space. She smiles, "It's just smaller, hence the name." If you are a regular with the sector-17 restaurant, this little bit of information is for you. "The menu of two restaurants is totally different. We do sometimes get the dishes prepared on request though," adds Neha. So the petite version of Girl In The Café is a pretty much happy and spacious place with a seating capacity of 60. The interior has the hues of pink beaming from everywhere. The Italian food menu is attached with a new British menu. The European concept of one-pan-breakfast that is served all day is something that might interest you. And of course, if you want a hot gossip session, you can do that over a cup of tea or let's say over two cups of tea for Rs 275 plus taxes along with some snacks. Adds Neha, who calls her petite restaurant a gamble, "If the mall runs so will the restaurants here," she says. But you don't need to worry about that. If you feel like having sandwiches, British Butty sandwiches and foil cooked meals can be a yum option. Wash it down with the authentic lavazza beans coffee at Girl In The Café (Petite).

Of pain and pen
"The book was a catharsis for the pain I was going through and I didn't quite realise that while I was penning it down," she says while articulating her emotions into words. This however, is not her first attempt at writing. For Babbu has been writing regular columns for several national and international journals, including, The Tribune. "My father, who was a prolific writer, wrote several books and columns, including Chacha Chandigaria. Many of my acquaintances were wondering if I would take to the passion that was an extension of my father's disposition, but I was quite unsure. However later, I did start writing for many journals and though I am not academically trained in the language (Punjabi) in which I write, I have received an overwhelming response from my critics and readers," she says. In fact, as the conversation progresses, one realises that Bubbu, who drapes her language in rather suave fold of expression, has a very intense undercurrent to her personality. "My first book, Surmai Shaam, was released in 2001. It was a compilation of several poems and I wrote it with the pen that my father gifted me," she shares as she takes a plunge in sweet nostalgia. "I was writing many columns in the newspapers, including Guftagu Zindagi Naal. My second book, Ek Baat Mai Paawan, was based on short stories, which mirrored the issues of the common man of Punjab and consequences of a political turbulence in the region," she adds. Just when the conversation shifts to her third book, her voice deepens, "Kinne hi reagistaan apni hond vich jazab kar, eh samundar jahi shaksiyat duniya di nazar kiti hai. This is my signature style of writing and just as the couplet reads, every individual experiences emotional vacuity at some point of time in life. This book is a compilation of a series of poems, which explores human sentiments." Her next book, While Punjab Burnt, is about Punjab during the 1982-1992.

Nail this art
Young Shivani Sharma, dejected at her never growing nails, would often pluck kena flower's buds, glue them on her nails and paint them. Passionate about nails she did not think of making it her profession. There were hardly any nail spas or parlours those days.
Today delicately moving her fingers with her stylish nails, done in ivory with Swarovski glints, she proudly talks of being the training head and managing partner at Lure Nails that distributes Star Nail products and services in India. In Chandigarh on Thursday Shivani emphasises on how important pretty hands and feet are for a well groomed look. And, after winning NCR, she is venturing out in Punjab. "Nail spas and embellishments are addictive. And, why not? In Rs 2000 you get beautiful nails that stay with you for three weeks and win you appreciation." Emphasising that manicure, pedicures are no more luxuries but necessity, specially in the monsoon, she talks of unending products and accessories for hands and feet that Star Nails provides in 130 odd countries. With people's spending power going up and women loving to turn out 'well groomed', the demand for nail art is only growing. What's more, you can do your everyday chores without spoiling your nail art. "You can bathe your dog, feed your kid, do everything, just don't use nails where fingers are needed--don't open boxes or push elevator buttons with nails," says Shivani who has cartoon characters on nails for kids.
On your fingertips
Shivani Sharma gives a head start if you are thinking of making a nail statement: Hottest trend: Stilettos or vamp nails that Rihana and Lady Gaga have been seen supporting. Not too practical (well, when was fashion?) they have the fashionistas hooked on
to. Colours burst: Neons, like everywhere else, rule the chart here too. Add dash of glitter to make the dull monsoon bright and go for Swarovski to celebrate the festive spirit. Shape smart: Stilettos might be in but most doable is soft square that's both practical and pretty. Sports length is what is the technical term for working nails. Options galore: Right from caviar to velvet, it's not just colour but there is a whole range of texture and look that you can play with. Foil for the metal look or veneer that stays on for up to three weeks, pick what you like!

Choc-a-block
How about getting chocolate roses for your date or spending an evening sharing a chocolate pizza with your loved one? Well, now that Choko La is in Chandigarh with its premium chocolates you can think of that!
At the launch in Elante on Friday, Choco La with its obviously chocolate brown interiors displays its select products, read truffles, pralines, bars, mendicants, rochers, brownies and dry cakes. Its brief yet sumptuous menu scores high on desserts. Their very thin sliced chocolate pizza is topped with marshmallows, hazelnuts and bananas and chocolate fondues are best for get-togethers. The Choko La's USP, however, remains the hot chocolate. Vasudha Munjal's venture, Choko La in its seven years of existence has seen the rise in chocolate consumption. "Each Diwali it's 30 to 40 per cent jump," says Ravi Pahuja, chief operating officer. After Delhi and Mumbai, Chandigarh is the third city to have Choko La. The premium chocolate concern is known for their innovative items, the chocolate rose bouquets are a rage amongst youngsters, their Rakhis that one could wear and eat too sold like hotcakes recently. While the edible flower one could eat, the leather band one could keep forever. "Our competitors have imported premium chocolates. While they usually do just bars, we score with different shapes, sizes, packing and pricing," says Ravi. Tastefully done interiors offer a heaven for chocolate lovers who can savour hot and cold drinks, snacks and desserts. If you are looking for customised gift options for weddings, birthdays, corporate gifting or any other occasion, Choko La will happily do it for you. If you happen to visit, their dry eggless cake with a month's shelf life is a steal for Rs 290! Their raw chocolate comes from Belgium and they do an interesting job with handmade chocolates and range of products. So chocolate lovers, cheers for one more outlet for what Mayans called 'God's own food'!

Cook and tell
It's always up to an individual how to take the challenges of life. Some get bogged down, others rise above them and win. Swarn Gakhar, former head of Department of Economics, GCG-11 falls in the latter category.
On Saturday, she released her new book A to Z Cooking Book at Panchkula. Cooking had not been her forte but with her willingness to learn she has won appreciation not only from her friends and family but also readers of her first book Any Day Veg-Delights. She talks of her journey from being a 'not so good a cook' to a recipe writer. "I couldn't cook well when I got married and would often get bogged down by my husband's unsavoury comments about my gobhi or baingan. My guests wouldn't enjoy my meals either, so I decided to learn," she starts her story. In came volumes and volumes of the books, as Swarn gained expertise in the kitchen. Another turn of events took Swarn to her daughter in Manila, Philippines and she ended up gathering even more recipes in her diary. "Whenever trying a new dish, I never trust my memory. I duly jot down step-by step," says Swarn. "The response I got was phenomenal. I received calls from the educated section of society for revolutionising their kitchen." Enthused by it, her recent book is now in Hindi. "It has some 258 recipes right from mocktails, salads, soups, snacks to continental dishes. "These are everyday recipes that can be made from the regular kitchen ingredients. And methods are simple, I guarantee that anyone without any cooking experience can use the book and do wonderful regular cooking at home." The book published by Unistar is priced at Rs 200. Swarn is on with her next book and this time it's going to be on party recipes. "I wouldn't call myself an excellent cook, but I am passionate about cooking," says
Swarn.

Satyagraha is the sequel to Raajneeti
Prakash Jha's Satyagraha is a sequel to his super-hit Rajneeti. Prakash Jha says, "Raajneeti was a family drama about betrayal. Satyagraha is based on the conflict between a father and son, against the backdrop of the political maneuvering by Manoj Bajpayee's character. It's about modern day politics and protests."
"Satyagraha, much like Raajneeti, is about a sense of betrayal, family drama, personal conflicts, egos and modern-day political texture. It's a modern day Raajneeti," adds Prakash Jha. Prakash Jha's next will be sequel to Satyagraha and will be more about conventional politics. Satyagraha, produced by Prakash Jha Productions and UTV Motion Pictures, releases on August
30.

Aishwarya ko gussa kyun aata hai?
She lost her temper and answered that she is an actor and such type of questions should not be directed to her. In the recent times, senior actors opt for special numbers and recently Madhuri Dixit grooved to the item song Ghagra from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. Ash too has done successful item songs in the past. Off late, it was rumoured that the actor will do an item number in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming film Ram Leela but it is reported that she has been replaced by Priyanka Chopra. For quite some time, reports are doing rounds that Aishwarya would make a comeback soon but nothing has been announced yet.

Priyanka on right Plane(s)
Dressed in jeans and a white top that gave a sneak peek of her shining naval ring, Priyanka looked quite a bit inspired by Hollywood. As the shutterbugs went crazy clicking her and showed no signs of relenting Priyanka asked wittily, "Did you guys miss me so much?" "It's a super-cute film that you can watch with your family and friends. It is particularly special for me as its release coincides with my father's (Dr Ashok Chopra, who passed away in June this year) birthday," she added. Talking about her character, Priyanka said, "Ishani is a very sexy plane and my own animated version. The way she opens her eyes and the way she talks is basically me." Priyanka also reminisced the time when she dreamt of becoming a Disney princess. "I always wanted to be Disney princess like Tinkerbell who was my
favourite."

Huma's perfect life
Fitness is fine
As an actor, fitness is important for me. I want to look pretty as well. I am a huge foodie but I have controlled myself since I joined Bollywood. I want directors to visualise me in different characters, and hence want to get fitter. However, I don't feel the need to look like a model. Actresses with fuller bodies like Vidya Balan and Sonakshi Sinha are quite sought-after; people want real actors nowadays. I feel that when people have nothing else to talk about, they talk about weight. Endless ambitions
I consider myself fortunate to have worked with actors like Rishi Kapoor, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Irrfan Khan so early in my career. All of them are sheer powerhouses of talent. When you work with such people, you are not only inspired to deliver better but also feel a greater sense of responsibility not to let anyone down. I got to learn a lot about the craft from them. Talking about dream roles, there are many. Right now, I am itching for a good comedy film and a biopic. I want to work with the best of directors in the industry. Ahh, the wish is endless. Filmi family
My family is quite loud, emotional, affectionate and dramatic. So, you can say that we are kind of filmi. However, that's where our connection with films ends. My parents always felt that becoming an actor was very tough, especially for outsiders. They get amused when they think that both their son (actor Saqib Saleem) and daughter have entered into Bollywood and are doing fairly well. In fact, now they feel that if their kids could become actors, anyone can. Tapping her toes
I enjoy dancing in real life. Obviously, I was a little nervous because it was the first time I was dancing on stage. My choreographer and background dancers were very supportive. I feel that it is good to be nervous before a live performance because your nervous energy shows itself on stage (laughs). Disciplined approach
I have definitely become a more disciplined person after joining Bollywood. You have to be disciplined and manage time in order to avoid stress. Life can be chaotic at times. The industry is very deadline-oriented and people expect a lot from you. I have learnt to be more organised and my multi-tasking skills have improved considerably.

Ajay on telly
Says Channel V Head Prem Kamath, "Now, Bollywood has realised that to connect with the youth of the country they would have to integrate with them trough television. Channel V is the preferred choice when it comes to such content; our shows are widely watched and focus on the youth". Karan too was very excited to have Ajay Devgn as the co-host with him. "He's very down-to-earth and never makes you feel that he's a superstar. The experience was really nice and I had an amazing time shooting with him."
