Out of the closet
Women topping the merit lists, eyeing plum positions in the corporate ladder, making a headway in defence services is all that we know and cherish. This time around, it's women who have a threat to their territory. In a survey conducted by vouchercloud.com, while a meagre 22 per cent of women admitted secret shopping or downplaying their purchases, the number of men who have admitted doing the same is double. Surprised by the survey result, we tried checking the real scene and came out, well, more surprised. Retail therapy is what Saazish resorts to often and has to hide it. “My mother gets worked up with the number of shopping bags I carry home. So, when I see her in not so good a mood, I flip my shopping where she can't immediately see it.” His parents' biggest grouse - he doesn't always wear the things he buys. “I hope I am not crossing the line, admitting that buying gives a bigger high than wearing all that.” So much so that his father is getting an exceptionally big wardrobe area for his boy in the bungalow they are constructing in their native village Mudki in Ferozepur district. If you thought shopaholic boys troubles' ended as they get away from parents, meet Aakash Saluja, a regional manager with a leading pharmaceutical company. In love with food and clothes, you would find a new trouser or a shirt tucked in a car boot to be taken home at an appropriate time (read no wife or visiting parents looking). “I do indulge in food and clothes, much to annoyance of my wife. I do at times shop and not share till I am caught (he laughs) or fib on the pricing,” he owns up. Thrifty wives trying to run her house on a budget are often the reason for such behaviour, or sometimes it's like a wife asking, 'You bought for yourself, what about me' that makes men go into the secret shopping mode. But trust us, not all secret shopping sprees end on a sour note. Some are able to don their prized possessions albeit a bit later than actual purchase date, others buy peace by downplaying the actual cost. Yet, others have the best of worlds. Like Pankaj, a marketing manager with a media house. There used to be a time when he shopped in bulk, much to the annoyance of his life partner. Now, he sticks to what he needs. And, he admits, his needs do get extravagant at times, like recently when he set his heart on Louis Vuitton glares. “I bought this LV glares for Rs 87,000 and handed her the box asking her to gift me that on our wedding anniversary. She not only took it sportingly but actually did give me Rs 50,000 for it as it was supposed to be a gift from her.” So, secret shopper men in particular, looks like it's about time to come out of the closet. mona@tribunemail.com

In the class of seventies
“I must have composed that song at least one-and-half-years before it came out. That is what I would call my kind of music,” he warms up to the conversation taking off from the song that changed his life for good and how. As a child who grew up with music in the household, there was no need for clichéd detours like reality shows to get past initial breaks. “My mother sings devotional songs and my father has a music group of his own. Music is in my blood because there was that atmosphere in the house…I started with learning classical harmonium and also used to play tabla during school assembly.” There is no denying the success to a strong foundation in music, which included dedicated years and hours of practice. “A background in classical to be a musician is as important as knowledge of medicine to be a surgeon. You have to have your basics clear.” Root cause Even though the initial exposure to music was limited to bhajans and devotional songs, there was a strong penchant for melody as he grew up. “When I developed a sense of music, I found myself admiring the likes of AR Rahman and RD Burman…Then I also listen to music giants like Kalyanji Anandji, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle because I consider these people like textbooks in music.” he adds, “Among my personal favourite artistes are Beatles and Ricky Martin.” Future projects On the anvil is a long list of projects that include an Emraan Hashmi starrer, Alone starring Bipasha Basu, Yaara by Tigmanshui Dhulia and a film by Vikram Bhatt among others. “I am doing all sorts of genres in these films. You'll hear a Sufi track, a romantic number, a qawwali, everything.” Punjab calling On the wish-list is a film starring Shah Rukh Khan as is Latin music, a genre that he has briefly explored so far. “Latin music attracts me.” As for Punjabi music, “I am good friends with Mika. I am as it is doing regional music. I would love to do Punjabi music. I have given music for Kannada and Telugu films, which are difficult languages. Punjabi is as it is easy. Moreover, there can be no music without the Punjabi touch. The beats and energy are infectious.” Wait and watch With every topic having been touched upon, it is time for queries that need a clarification. Or, any other way he chooses to react to the not-so-favourable questions. For example the recent rape charges being pressed against him. “The matter is sub-judice, so I would not like to comment much upon it.” Or, perhaps, he would like to. “We are all here. I am not running anywhere. I am too famous to be running anywhere now. The truth will be out and will be there for everyone to see.” Till then it's a wait and watch. mnapriya@tribunemail.com

Inheritance of notes
An exponent of the Gwalior gharana, Mudgal initially trained under his late father and guru Pt Vinaychandra Maudgalya, and there on under Vasant Thakar and Pandit Jasraj. Today, Mudgal is the principal of the 75-year-old music institute, Gandharva Vidyalaya. “The vidyalaya was opened in 1939 by my father in Delhi; I'm proud to take the legacy forward and complete 75 years of its existence this year. Year-long celebrations to mark this feat will be held at the vidyalaya,” says Mudgal, pleasantly surprised after receiving the standing ovation from his Chandigarh audience after the choir's performance at Tagore Theatre. After creating musical prodigies such as Shubha Mudgal, Kailash Sharma and Shubhadra Desai at the institute, Mudgal says the process of imbibing music in youngsters' lives is deeply enriching. “Nothing makes me happier than seeing my students enjoy this form of music. I believe we're giving rise to a very healthy society at the institute that is united only by the sound of music,” says he. About his rendition of the banis of the Sikh Gurbani in 2007, he adds, “The sound of each bani is spellbinding. That's why I decided to take it up.” When asked if he likes the stage to himself for performances or prefers conducting his students, he says, “Though I am primarily a solo vocalist, and enjoy that expression of my art thoroughly, conducting choirs is a different joy altogether. It's heartwarming to see students unite from all regions and cultures to make melody. Music is the unifying factor for these amateur students, which is immensely satisfying,” concludes Mudgal. somya@tribunemail.com The vidyalaya was opened in 1939 by my father in Delhi; I'm proud to take the legacy forward and complete 75 years of its existence this year.

Play out of bunkers without fear
Jesse Grewal
The first thing to do when your ball is in the bunker is to assess the lie and the texture of the sand - is the sand is wet or dry, is it soft or firm and the depth of sand in the bunker. When the sand is wet or firm, the club would tend to bounce out of the sand so it would be advisable to take a more lofted club (could be the lob wedge) and not open the face. If the sand is dry and soft, the club would tend to dig into the sand and lose speed. To avoid this, it is recommended that the club face be kept open so that the bounce or rounded area of the sole of the club hits the sand first, which helps the club to skid through the sand without digging too deep into the bunker. Play a less lofted club like the sand wedge as the loft does not increase too much after opening the face. If the dynamic loft goes over a certain limit of degrees, the friction reduces too much leaving the ball in the bunker as the club will slide under the ball without moving it far enough. If your swing tends to be steep or vertical, the club head would tend to dig deep into the sand. Opening the face would help it not dig. If your swing is from the inside, the club would approach on a shallow path. If the face is open, the club head would bounce out of the sand. For this type of swing, a square face would help the club head dig a little deeper into the sand for better results. The second part is to find the correct set up. Take a wide stance and dig your feet into the bunker for stability. The ball is positioned left of centre (for right-handed golfers) so that the bottom of the swings arc is two to three inches behind the ball. Bend a little more from the waist so that the hands are positioned low as this helps to get the ball out higher. Align only a little left if the club face is open, as the club face does not directly hit the ball therefore the directional change for the open face is less. The swing is similar to the swing used for pitching with a little more force. Make sure that the club head accelerates through the sand, splashing some sand towards the target. If the club enters the sand at the correct spot behind the ball, the result would be good!

Nip it in the bud
To avoid damage to the plants, kill the moths and butterflies at the larval stage satish narula
The moth or butterfly larvae are voracious feeders and in most of the cases, these are easily located on the plants. Some of the larvae of the likes of lemon butterfly emit a peculiar smell that a trained nose can recognise. One way to control them is the physical way of doing it. Throw these insects on the ground and kill them! If you cannot do that, spray a suitable chemical to control them. Then there are insects in the adult stage that cause tremendous damage. One of the most damaging insect that shows up is the chaffer beetle. It is normally not visible, the reason being it comes in the evening hours. The adults feed on the leaves green, leaving the veins intact. You can easily identify the attack by seeing the 'skeletal leaves' hanging on plants. Now when we have apprised you with the time of appearance of the insects, you better spray the plants in the evening hours. This will also save honey bees that retreat back to their hives by that time. Insects have better instincts and visual power than we do. That is one reason they either fly away or retreat to camouflage. Like we said, you could identify the presence of insects by looking at the symptoms. In your kitchen garden. look at the brinjal plants. Are the leaves flat and green? You will easily recognise normal leaves, but if there is cupping upward or downwards then there is something wrong. This happens due to sap-sucking insects that do so either at the top of the leaf or bottom of it. Now look at the back of leaves, you will find small greenish yellow insects like jassids, aphids or even thrips. Get rid of these by spraying rogor, dissolved at one milliliter to a litre of water. If your plants are in bearing, pluck all the ready fruit and then spray. Next week spray again, but with a changed chemical. This time spray malathion with the same concentration. Pick the fruit after about 10 days and eat them after thorough washing. (Narula is a Chandigarh-based senior PAU horticulturist and landscapist)

Salma misses Joan
"She's an icon. It won't be the same without her - red carpets will not be the same without her," Hayek said. "She invented a whole way of making fun a little bit of fashion. We're going to miss her." Rivers passed away last Thursday, a week after she was placed in a medically-induced coma at Mount Sinai hospital in New York, following a cardiac and respiratory arrest while undergoing a routine operation on her vocal cords at the private Yorkville Endoscopy clinic on August 28. Celebrities, including Kelly Osbourne, Sarah Jessica Parker and Whoopi Goldberg, flocked to her funeral at the Temple Emanu-El in Manhattan to pay their final respects to the legendary star. — PTI

Extreme dedication
Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan, the poster-boy for health and fitness in the country, recently shot for a commercial for HRX , a brand inspired by the Bollywood superstar's style and philosophies, embodied in the tagline Push Your Extreme. Not only was the actor actively involved in the concept and creative, but also set an example while on the sets of the commercial, as he took to exercising with ambient mediums like the staircase and concrete slabs during the shoot.
Hrithik, who was shooting at a terrace of a popular suburban hotel, took to the ladder of a water tank to do over 200 crunches at a stretch before shooting for a bare body shot for the commercial. If that wasn't all, his extreme workout ended up being a treat to a group of children who rushed to the location when they heard the star was in the vicinity. A source says, "Hrithik Roshan was shooting for the HRX commercial when a group of kids from the vicinity rushed to the location to catch a glimpse of the star only to be treated to the site of him doing over 200 crunches on the terrace."

Shraddha congratulates Alia
That's when Alia told her about the video and told her that she needs to watch it. The actress immediately took permission from her doctor to go on the phone and see it. She couldn't stop laughing while she watched it. Shraddha called Alia and messaged her as well. She also wished her luck for Shandaar which has just gone on floors. Shraddha says, "I went crazy laughing in my physio clinic when I watched the video. It is hilarious. Simply Amazing. The way that she has done it, it's superb. After watching it, I called her immediately...Way to go!!" It is nice to see that this new generation of Bollywood is pally with each other and they actually hang out together to catch up with each other and even watch each other's films and praise them openly.

SRK, Kajol to reunite
If the latest rumours are anything to go by, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol will be paired up again in a Rohit Shetty's film. It is allegedly going to be a remake of Hum.
But now, if sources are to be believed, then the film will have a completely new script and will not be a remake of the Amitabh Bachchan starrer. The untitled film will reunite SRK-Kajol after four years. Rumours are rife that the Chennai Express filmmaker is in talks with Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor to play younger brothers to SRK. However, Shetty has not yet revealed if the film will be a comic caper or a drama. We wonder!

Wow…Vada Pav!
Vada Pav in Mumbai is everybody's favourite, including television stars. Some of them share their tasty notes
Spice route Vada Pavs are indeed delicious. I love the butter and cheese Vada Pavs. They are absolutely yummy. Whenever I cross Mitthibai College, I make sure I have at least one of them. Hot, little spicy, cheesy and with some butter…indeed makes it a mouth-watering experience. If given a challenge to eat, I think I can eat up to four to five at one go!
Filling food I like to eat Vada Pav because it is very tasty. I can't resist when I see Vada Pav in front of me. I think everybody in Mumbai likes them. It's a very economical food and filling too. I can eat three Vada Pavs in one go.
Something special Vada Pav is Mumbai's favourite snack; it's the specialty. It isn't possible to come to Mumbai and not have Vada Pav. It is very tasty, filling and the price is so less. I can eat two in one go! I enjoy eating it with a green chilly.
Desi burger Mumbai's very own burger 'Vada Pav' is my favourite snack; it is the most popular street food of Mumbai too, mainly because it is easily available, filling, affordable and can be eaten on the move. I like Schezwan Vada Pav with masala chai, which chases away all my travel fatigue.
Quick snack It's a 'desi' quick snack; very handy and not messy like a burger. I love the 'lasan ki chatni', which they put in it. It reminds me of college days when I used to travel in a local train from Mahalaxmi to Andheri. Vada Pav represents Mumbai; it's the flavour of Mumbai! I can eat three in a go, but I am not allowed to cheat on my diet very often.

In the lanes of Banaras
What made you give a nod to this role? This is a unique show where the protagonist is a male and I get to play a well-defined role. That the show is for Sony channel and produced by Deeya as well as Tony Singh, is reason enough to accept it. What is the show about? It is set in the beautiful town of Benaras and follows the life of a charming boy Shivprasad Mishra aka Bunty (played by me). An ideal brother, son and friend, he is the blue-eyed boy of his family. His entire world revolves around the three women in his life — his amma, badi didi and chhoti. In any given situation, he has quick fixes to brighten up the mood of each of his family members. But in a bid to keep everyone happy, Bunty's personal life is always in trouble. His life takes a turn when his elder sister makes him promise not to get married until she is married off. Being a true Banarasi, Bunty vows to never go back on his words but is stuck at the crossroads when he bumps into his dream girl, Saagarika (Pratyusha Banerjee), at a family wedding. Saagarika, raised single-handedly by her father who is unaware of a woman's needs after her mother's death, sees a complete contrast in Bunty who is full of affection and is sensitive towards women. What is the other cast like? We have a great bunch of cast members; the beautiful and talented Pratyusha Banerjee will play the role of my love interest, Sagarika Chattopadhyay, who is modern but traditional at heart. In character roles as Bunty's Amma will be Shubhangi Gokhale and Babuji will be played by Rajendra Chawla; the roles of Badi didi and Chotti will be played by Aparajita Bajaj and Ayesha Kaduskar, respectively. How was the shoot? It was very hot on the locales of Benares, but it was great fun shooting in the town. Are there any icons you look up to? Yes, my actor-father Deep Dhillon. I look up to him for guidance. — HRM

If your birthday is September 9...
Number 9 is the teacher, a tolerant, somewhat impractical and sympathetic vibration. Ruled by Mars, you will be jack of all trades. You will have to make some sacrifices to attain better results in career. Financial matters will have to be handled judiciously. Passions are strong in March, which cause you to impulsively seek out new alliances. Your financial position will be quite satisfactory. As this will be a favourable year, you stand to gain overall. Positive colours: Golden, Red.
You share your birthday with Akshay Kumar (September 9, 1967, Amritsar), who was born as Rajiv Hari Om Bhatia and grew up in Chandni Chowk, Delhi. He went to Bangkok and worked as a chef before making it big in Bollywood. Number 9 will keep him at the top always.

If you thought it's only women who hide shopping bags at the back of cabinets, well it's time for a reality check! Women and shopping is generally considered synonymous, but in a life and time when lines are blurring and gender bender is the norm, you can't be certain about anything anymore.
Saazish Sidhu, a young stylist from Mumbai, has been all for shopping right from the word go. “I remember when I was 12, I was accompanying my mum to a mall on a trip abroad and I insisted on being left alone to choose my stuff,” recalls Saazish. Becoming financially independent at an early age added fuel to the fire. His shoe wardrobe would put that of an average woman to shame. And, boy, he just can't have enough of watches, hats and bags. And, peculiarly, he is very brand conscious when it comes to underclothes. “Comfort is the key to a long day at work,” he insists.
The flipside of a smash hit is that any other introduction fades into the background. Even though the hit single Galliyan from Ek Villain happened afterwards, singer and music director Ankit Tiwari will always be known as the guy who gave us Sunn Raha Hai from Aashiqui 2. However, he has gratefully moved on from the prolonged hangover of the success.
With the wave of his fingers, he has mastered the art of stirring emotions. A point and drop with the soar and dip of the heart creates an uncanny tandem. Watching Padma Shri classical vocalist Madhup Mudgal build the crescendo for his choir is nothing short of mesmerising. In Chandigarh recently for a performance with his choir from Gandharva Mahavidyalya, Delhi, Mudgal talks about his rendition of the Gurbani, producing musical prodigies at his institute and more…
The bunker shot is one of the most feared shots in golf without reason. If the lie of the ball in the bunker is good, there is nothing much to the shot. There are many more difficult shots on the golf course than the bunker shot. In fact, I have heard many coaches telling their new students that it is a difficult shot and to avoid going into bunkers. Hitting out of the thick grass fringes around the green and along the fairways is far tougher than playing out of a bunker.
After the deluge of the mango, the king of fruits, now is the time to relish the royal fruit pear, which has a romantic hue of its own for it is has the right sweetness and is so succulent that it just glides down the throat! Combine this yummy fruit with chocolate and ice-cream to create a delectable dessert.

When we say the winged guests in a garden, we refer to either the birds or the butterflies, but not the moths. However, the damage caused by the moth or the butterfly is almost the same. It is not the adult stage of either of these, but the larval stage that is damaging. There are larvae of some moths or butterflies that devour a single fully grown leaf in five minutes.

Mexican star Salma Hayek thinks red carpets will never be the same again now that Joan Rivers has died. The 48-year-old actress believes the 81-year-old comedienne will be sorely missed at glamorous events and her passing has left a big hole in Hollywood.
Shraddha Kapoor is all praise for Alia Bhatt's video by All India Bakchod that mocks her. It has Alia with her family, Karan Johar, Parineeti Chopra, and Arjun Kapoor making fun of themselves. It has gone viral in a matter of days. When she saw the video she couldn't stop laughing and immediately called Alia to tell her how hilarious it was. Shraddha was in her physiotherapy session for the muscle tear that she got during the rehearsals of ABCD 2.
