Visual tadka
Food, like any great work of art, must appeal to the eyes first, which is where presentation assumes utmost importance. Riding on the wave of changing food trends, Chandigarh-based restaurants are redefining the food culture of the city. The drinks have moved from glasses to
jars.

Shades of grey
There is a strong flipside of critical acclaim and character-driven world of off-beat cinema. The roles that challenge as well as stimulate are few and far between.
Hot wheels
"We grew up watching and playing with these sports bikes; now we can ride the real ones. Although I can manage without a bike, the only reason why I bought it is because the bike that I have resembles the toy bike I used to play with as a child," says Amandeep, a Ludhiana resident.
Faith healer
What happens when the treatment that is left to medicines fails to cure? With due respect to the Big Bang theory and all the other answers that science has bestowed mankind with, it has also introduced us to terms like idiopathic diseases. Last checked, unexplained allergies tip-toed into everyone's lives slowly and steadily; nevertheless, Indian medical fraternity failed to exploit the powers of faith and its healing properties.
"The doctors abroad, when they write a prescription, always mention - 'I treat, you cure'. In America, they started with faith healing long ago. Then why can't we? Despite being a spiritual and religious
country."

Shake up a storm
September 12 is celebrated as the National Chocolate Milkshake Day. So, now I am dreaming luscious, smooth and creamy chocolate milkshake. I am sure all such food holidays are just made up, having little historical significance. They are just an excuse to throw together our favourite ingredients and revel in good grub, better still when shared with friends and family. Milkshakes are a versatile term, and options countless. Even within the realm of chocolate, there are so many variations to achieve. So don't always head for the cafe round the corner to order that frothy, Nutella encircled pilsner glass.

Matter of the fact
Judge Tanishaa Mukerji and host Ragini Khanna have quit the stand-up comedy show, Gangs Of
Husseepur. Apparently the production house wasn't too happy with Tanishaa and Ragini and wanted them to be more spontaneous. But the women in question claim their contract has ended. Mandira Bedi is still on board though.
