While colleges in the country have taken to technology in more ways than one, the recent move by D. G. Ruparel College in Mumbai has taken it to a different level altogether.

Eclectic approach

The trendiest home accessories are not what draw fashion choreographer Liza Varma’s attention. Rather, she is fascinated by the old-world charm of traditional wooden objects.

Can’t see the c-string

While on the one hand the world is going gaga over the latest revolution in lingerie called the C-string, the only person in India who seems to have a clue about it is Rakhi Sawant. The motor mouth, recently, created a huge noise when she insisted that her producers for her upcoming television show, should get her the C-string and even refused to do the show unless she gets them.
