Ageless beauties
It sounds like a cliché, but there really is something special about seeing old timers bring alive the memories of the naïve days of the past when fashion models with great bone structure, excellent posture and to-die-for legs took the ramp by storm. Recently Chanel’s show opened with Stella Tennant, a 40-year-old model with whom
Celebs take calculated rick
At a time when they are buying Bentleys and Rolls-Royces, Bollywood celebrities seem to be taking comfort in the common man’s vehicular choice — the autorickshaw. Stranded by their drivers and broken down cars, these stars often resort to hiring an autorickshaw to get to their destination. Privacy seeking celebrities ironically opt for the very open three-wheeler in a bid to escape their fans.
Game for a buggy ride? You can have one soon
It would be a ride of a lifetime to visit Red Fort, Jama Masjid, Old Fort, Humayun’s Tomb and Hazrat Nizamuddin in a horse carriage if the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has its way. Reports suggest that the MCD has proposed to update its licensing scheme for animal-drawn carriages, allowing people to rent out their buggies to tourists. Delhiites are excited and welcome this initiative with gusto, but some also wonder how it may affect traffic in the capital and share other concerns.
Tuitions gain steam
Talk about expenditure and there will be a big list of things that one can’t simply overlook or compromise on at any cost. School education for that matter is a must for all, but in today’s day and age it is not enough because in order to get good marks many students depend on private tuitions and coaching classes. As Board exams and various college entrances are round the corner, many students flock to tutorial classes and do not mind paying for much costlier lessons after school hours.
Vidya Balan is raring to go
From playing a casually attired mum in Paa to being raunchy sex siren Silk Smitha in Dirty Picture, Vidya Balan has managed to pack in a surprise in each film.
The actress will be seen in a line-up of strong women centric movies this year — right from the remake of Satte Pe Satta to Sujoy Ghosh’s Kahani, apart from Dirty Picture where she is essaying Silk Smitha’s roles.
Go green
What’s the one thing that women around the world including beauties like Deepika Padukone and Angelina Jolie have been sporting? The colour green, when it comes to make-up. Yes, that’s right, hues like the shades of the forest, earthy grass and even bolder ones like jade and emerald have been making waves. While stars with a
Booking weighty issues
Recent figures from a top book retail website indicated how weight loss books are becoming bestsellers in the non-fiction category in India. With several dieticians, some even with a celebrity client or two, and fitness experts penning books on how to shed the kilos, the junk food-obsessed generation only seems to be more than
The mistress of cuisines
When I asked my 20-something cousin why he watches Nigella Express, he says, “I don't know what she says half the time, I just like watching her.” Google or Youtube Nigella and most of the comments posted are along the same lines.
Turning to theatre
At one point in time during the school years, weekly schedules were incomplete without music, dance, sports or martial arts classes. But as one graduates to college, these activities seem to take a backseat. However, in a wave of sorts, youngsters across the country have been actively taking part in theatre — whether it is to pursue dreams of becoming an actor or to just polish their social skills, theatre is back to being labelled ‘cool’. Why, some are even choosing to take this up as their profession too!
