FROM THEEDITOR’S DESK

Whew, what a month, as we worked on this yet another marvelous issue! Being in constant communication with whomsoever reading Tulip is what we look forward to, as nothing else gives me more satisfaction than people appreciating what we publish in the magazine.
Early onset of Monsoons! Typical of Hyderabad, yet there is something about the rains which makes us happy all the time. Smell of the sand following the rain, enjoying a cup of hot coffee with friends, going for a long drive with that someone special or playing Football, the season is closely connected to our lives. It even makes you feel like dancing!
The cover story features former Miss India Universe, Gul Panag talking about her professional and personal lives and what she loves to do beyond acting. Every traveler dreams to visit Bali once in lifetime - be it for the beaches, the number of temples or experiencing various cultures there. Therefore, the focus on Expedition is this divine destination. We also show a cinematic history of the Dream Girl of Bollywood – Hema Malini, her major blockbusters, felicitations and recognitions she achieved in her life so far, as an actress and as a classical dance artist. Lona Logan talks about her life in Australia, how much she enjoys being a part of Hyderabad now and her passion towards photography, in A Day From Her Diary.
Restful at home while it’s raining hard outside and reading a novel within cozy, warm ambience is another activity we love to do. Therefore, we give you the list of best-sellers like – Sisterhood Everlasting (from Ann Brashares) and others, which are sure to make you feel good, just being at home.
Three things I have learnt from this issue -
Nothing is more precious than sharing a wonderful relationship with the loved ones.
Significance of ancient art – Romanticism and how the epoch had an impingement on the following future.
Importance of being fit by sustaining a healthy lifestyle.

IT’S A BOY FOR OSCAR WINNERNatalie Portman is mom now..
She had not revealed the baby son’s name yet, but Natalie Portman is now officially a mommy. It’s been quite a whirlwind for her, who made her biggest splash yet in Hollywood last year. The 2010 Best Actress
Oscar winner and fiancé, Black Swan choreographer Benjamin Millepied are now parents, seven months after announcing Portman was pregnant and that they were getting engaged. The two met while filming this ballet drama. This baby is the first child for the couple. The 30-year young who is known for being tight lipped about her private life, expressed publicly about her pregnancy and engagement in short sentences of joy - ‘I have al-ways kept my private life private, but I will say that I am indescribably happy and feel very grateful to have this experience.’ She had stuck to traditions when it came to baby’s birth. She also stated, she’d be out of public eye for a while, until she makes a comeback for her future projects. Portman also revealed that she was overwhelmed by the support she received from fam-ily and friends for her upcoming comedy flick - ‘No Strings Attached.’
JOLIE AND UN OFFICIALSVisit migrants from Africa
Angelina Jolie travelled to the tiny Italian island of Lampedusa on Sunday and thanked the residents for welcoming in the estimated 20,000 migrants who arrived after fleeing unrest
in Tunisia and Libya. Jolie, a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, toured a migrant holding centre, chat-ted with a few refugees and then participated in a ceremony at Lampedusa’s memorial for migrants lost at sea as part of commemo-rations for World Refugee Day. Jolie quoted - ‘You cannot imagine what you represented to all those people this year who were looking desperately for help.’ She thanked the residents who gathered for the ceremony for welcoming the migrants in and asked them to consider how bad their lives must have been, that they would risk everything for the chance of a better life in Europe. ‘It is very hard to imagine looking out at this beautiful sea, how many people have risked their lives and how many people have risked their children’s lives and so many of them have lost their lives at sea,’ she said. Pope Benedict XVI and U.N. refugee Chief Antonio Guterres have also urged European nations to continue keeping the doors open to refugees.
THE HANGOVER IIBiggest R-rated comedy ever!
It was one of the most anticipated sequels of the summer. The Hangover II grew its worldwide box office total to $488.7 mil-lion, surpassing the $467.5 million earned by the original film
to become the biggest R-rated comedy of all time. The big sur-prise is the film’s international performance. By no means, the movie is close to being finished and still has Spain and Japan yet to open. And domestically, it’s still high up on the top 10 chart. This flick is the biggest 3-day weekend comedy debut ever, beating The Simpsons Movie’s $74M. And it shattered all R-rated comedy records, both weekend and even first week numbers for Sex And The City.

SHAH RUKH KHANThanking Kareena Kapoor
Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan has showered praises on his big budget sci-fi action take - ‘Ra.One’ co-star Kareena Kapoor for her hard work and sin-
cerity in completing the shooting on time. ‘Finished the last few bits and pieces of ‘RA.One’ with Kareena. Want to thank her for working so hard and fast. She was such a sport. Hope we haven’t tanned her too much in the hot sun,’ Shah Rukh posted on his Twitter page. The actors were busy shooting portions of the film in Hyderabad. Ra.One is a much-awaited superhero film, in which Karee-na plays Shah Rukh’s love interest. The movie is set for re-lease on Diwali. Made on a budget of around Rs. 150 crore, the movie also stars Arjun Rampal.
AMRITA KAKCredits Salman for success
Actress Beena Kak’s daughter Amrita, who is riding high on success with chartbusters like Character Dheela from - Ready gives credit to Salman Khan
for making her a saleable name in Bollywood. She said – ‘Salman has been inspiring. I never thought about be-coming a professional singer. I used to learn music in school like everybody does. I was studying at St. Xaviers in Mumbai and was not very serious. But Salman has got me on track, guided me from time to time, encouraged me to come out of my shell and whatever I am today - the credit goes to him completely for making me a saleable name. When he noticed that I like to sing and have a voice which could be moulded, he introduced me to Sajid-Wajid so that I could polish my skills. I started doing regular re-hearsals ever since and there was no looking back for me.’ She is now happy to be a part of the music industry.
JUST DANCE!Hrithik learns sign language
He never seems to stop impressing his fans! Hrithik has once again impressed us all by learning the art of sign language to aid his communication with a few hearing
impaired participants of the reality show, Just Dance. This is his debut appearance on Indian television. It has been heard that he has recently undertaken private classes in sign language to help him start off, despite his busy schedule with the shooting of Agneepath. The buzz is that the actor came across a 21-year old contestant, who’s mother was deaf and mute. Hrithik was so touched by the boy’s story that he sought the help of a sign language teacher to convey his feelings of respect to the mother. The incident apparently reduced everyone on the sets, to tears. It is also heard that Hrithik sent a recorded video to a deaf girl who auditioned in London, being extremely im-pressed by her performance.

3 IDIOTSTelugu remake
Rajkumar Hirani and Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s Bollywood blockbuster - 3 Idiots broke all the records at the of-fice by having the highest gross rate. And we are
well aware of the buzz going on about the Telugu-remake of this comedy flick. News is being circulated that Pawan kalyan, Siddarth and Allari Naresh will be the leads in this version (Ranchordas Chachhad, Farhan Qureshi and Raju Rastogi respectively). It is also known that Geetha Arts is making this movie under star-producer Allu Arvind’s super-vision. The hunt for the heroines opposite the three stars is going on. Also, Suriya is said to be the one playing the same role in the Tamil version. Well, we really have to wait to see that the Telugu version has, in its purse.
HASSAN’S NEXTWith Isha and Sonakshi
The apprehension over who would be the second women in Kamal Hassan’s Viswaroopam is finally cleared. A fine dancer and a Kalaripayattu expert,
Isha Sharvani would play second fiddle to Sonakshi Sinha in this film. This movie is trilingual and directed by Kamal Haasan himself. It was earlier rumored that Shriya Saran would be playing the second heroine role in it. However, she later confirmed that she is not a part of the project. Looks like Kamal Hassan chose the Kisna girl over Shriya Saran. With Bollywood glam dolls Isha and Sonakshi, the movie ought to get a heavy response. Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy will com-pose the tunes for this movie and will be produced by Telefoto Films.
JR. NTR’S NEXT Project Story leaked
Jr NTR’s upcoming movie tentatively titled Oosaravelli’s shooting is progressing in Hyder-abad. The latest news related to the project is
that the story is leaked and this is making rounds on internet. But nobody is really sure whether it is the actual story or a fake one. Jr NTR plays a soft-ware professional who works in a reputed soft-ware company. He romances the heroine who works in the same company. Tamanna is playing female lead role in this film. Jr NTR has a very sensi-tive character - he is shy, timid and does not affirm violence until a villain takes an entry and the story changes to a different aspect altogether where NTR is also said to get disabled. Well, we really should wait for the movie to get released and see which of this is true. This film is slated for release in August and one has to say that it is too early to start the promotion activities for this movie.

MAJESTIC MCLLROYYoungest US Open Champion
Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy completed a remarkable four days to clinch his first major title with an eight-shot victory in the US Open. He became the youngest US Open champion
since Bobby Jones in 1923 and the youngest major winner since Tiger Woods triumphed at the Masters in 1997. The 22-year-old broke a host of scoring records and shot a final-round 69 to end 16 under par at Congressional. He said – ‘The whole week has been incredible. I could not have asked for any more and I am so happy to hold this trophy.’ McIlroy banished memories of his Masters meltdown, when he blew a four-shot lead going into the final day and marched to a first major title at his 10th attempt as a professional.
MLB Hudson Inspires Braves’ Win
Atlanta Braves’ pitcher Tim Hudson shut out the Toronto Blue Jays for more than eight innings and drove in the only runs of a 2-0 Interleague win. The right-hander allowed just two hits and retired
20 batters to ensure his two-run homer in the seventh inning would win the game for the Braves, second in the National League East. Carlos Zam-brano had suffered a dismal start on the same ground last year, giving up four runs before his resulting tirade in the dug-out led to a three-game ban and anger management classes, but tonight he struck out five in eight innings and Starlin Castro and Carlos Pena homered in a four-run sixth inning for the Cubs. The Milwaukee Brewers, top of the National League Central, were beaten 8-4 by the Tampa Bay Rays, for whom Evan Longoria struck a three-run homer in the eighth innings. A three-run homer by Jason Giambi in a six-run fifth inning helped the Colorado Rockies to an 8-7 win over the American League Central leading Cleve-land Indians. Giambi’s blow scored Todd Helton and Troy Tulowitzki, the latter having hit a two-out, two RBI double immediately beforehand, as the Rockies turned the game on its head.
EURO 2012Ballack declines German swansong
Ex-Germany captain Michael Ballack will not be making a fare-well appearance for his country after dismissing Joachim Low’s offer of a swansong as a farce. Low has opted to move on from
the 34-year-old playmaker but raised the possibility of giving him a send off in next month’s friendly against Brazil. The former Chel-sea and Bayern Munich man, now with Bayer Leverkusen, was not impressed by that idea though. He said - ‘The style and content of [Low’s] statement are unfortunately exactly the way he has treated me since my serious injury last summer. To call a friendly match that was arranged long ago a farewell match is a farce in my opinion. I know I owe my fans this match but I cannot accept the offer.’ DFB general secretary Wolfgang Niersbach said - ‘I have absolutely no understanding, let alone him saying it’s a ‘hypocrisy’ or a ‘farce’. In my view, all the conversations we have had with him have been fair and just. Michael should have contacted us on how to proceed. How-ever, this did not happen so we decided to give a press release out because it was overdue really.’

PICK OF THE MONTH
PROMISES TO KEEP - by Jane Green
Callie Perry has a pretty perfect life. It may not be every-one’s idea of happiness – her husband spends more time travelling for his job as a commercials director. Callie, a
successful family photographer living in Bedford - New York, is beloved by all who know her. Callie’s parents - Walter and Honor are divorced for almost thirty years and they haven’t spoken for most of that time. They may share a daughter, but it is agreed by all who knew them, they share little else, until they all receive a shocking phone call that changes their lives forever and brings them all together one short, snowy winter. Promises to Keep is
about the hard choices we sometimes have to make; about having to be a child, long after you have grown up and mostly, about the enduring nature of love.
BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP – by Steve J Watson
Christine wakes up every morning on an unfamiliar bed, with an unfamiliar man. She looks in the mir-ror and sees an unfamiliar, middle- aged face. And
every morning, the man she has woken up with, must explain that he is Ben, he is her husband, she is forty-sev-en years old and a terrible accident two decades earlier decimated her ability to form new memories. But it’s the phone call from Dr. Nash - a Neurologist, who directs her to her journal, hidden in the back of her closet. For the past few weeks, Christine has been recording her daily activities - tearful mornings with Ben, sessions with Dr. Nash, flashes of scenes from her former life - and reread-ing past entries, relearning the facts of her life as retold by the husband she is completely dependent upon. Every day, Christine must begin again the reconstruction of her past. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more unbelievable it seems.

And indeed, it will change their lives forever, but in ways that none of them could ever have expected. As moving and life-changing as an encounter with long-lost best friends, Sisterhood Everlasting is a powerful story about growing up, losing your way and find-ing the courage to create a new one.

EARLY MORNINGS
Day starts at 6:30. I ask the kids to get up and get ready to school. It takes
some time to wake them up, as my kids are not morning people. After
I get them changed, I go downstairs and make the breakfast ready. Fol-
lowing breakfast, they get cleaned up and ready for school bus. I walk
them down to the bus, which comes around 7:45. I see them off and
come back home to have a light breakfast.
AFTERNOONS –
I always get back home by 3:30, as
that’s when my kids come back from
school. This is when it starts getting
busy again for me with them. When
they get home, I will get them to relax
and give them a snack.
AFTER 8:30 I head to the gym, located within my community. I per-form cardio and weights for an hour there. I have been into fitness now for a number of years. I always feel good after my session. I enjoy keeping fit and have always been into sports from an early age. I try to encourage this to my children as well, in order to remain fit and ac-tive. After my workout, I come back home, get refreshed and have my proper breakfast as I don’t like to eat heavy before going to gym. I enjoy food at Novotel and Westin.
LATE MORNINGSAt 10:15 until 11:30, I work on my photos which I have taken previously, edit them and make a backup, besides checking my mails and other extra computer work. Post 11:30, I usually have to go out. During the week, I shop for my kids and any other errands I have to do. I occasion-ally have lunch with friends or go out around the city and take photos. I have been trying to go out around Hyderabad and the local sites to get some good shots. This can take time, as usually you have to go back a number of times to the same place to get good pictures. If I have been busy while I am out I will usually eat at restaurants in Banjara.
AFTER 4:15 –I begin with helping my kids with their homework to get it out of the way, so they can go play. The community I live in, is ideal for kids, so any chance they have, they are out of the door. So from 4:15 until 6:15 can be consumed with homework among my three kids. I have to space the timings so each can get my attention, more so with my younger ones as they need more help.

EVENINGS –From 6:15 until 7:00 we prepare dinner. This is mostly done by my housemaid, Roopa who is a great help. She has been with us since the beginning, five years ago. So she knows my family and our eating habits back to front. Within this hour I pack the kids’ school bags for the next day and decide on what to make for snacks. I also get their clothes ready for the morning. Post dinner, around 7:45, it’s time to get washed up and ready for bed. I then take them to their sleeping room, where I put on relaxing music and read books for them. They really love the music in the background.
LATE EVENINGS –
By 9:15, everyone is asleep and its quiet
time for me. I rarely watch TV, but pre-
fer a cup of hot green tea whilst read-
ing and playing music. By 11:00 I usually
sleep, as I have an early start with kids.
LIVING IN INDIA -
We have been in India for the past five and a half
years. I often get asked whether I prefer Australia
or India. They are both very different and each
country has its bad and good. No one place
is ever perfect. I feel it’s where you make your
home, you should make the most of it. India has
taught me so much and I have truly treasured
my time here, so far. I have been intrigued with
the culture, the sounds, the colour, the celebra-
tions and the people. So much so, I miss India
when I go back home, as do my children. There
is something intangible about India that draws
you back. Hyderabad has welcomed us and I
personally have made great friends and have felt
at home here in this city.

ROMANTICISM
An international artistic and philosophical movement that redefined the fundamental ways in which people of Western cultures thought about themselves and about their world. Romanticist artists were fascinated by the nature, the genius, their passions, inner struggles, their moods, mental potentials and heroes. They investigated human nature and personality, the folk culture, the national and ethnic origins, the medieval era, the exotic, the remote and the mysterious. Romanticist artists had roles of ultimate creators who ignored the estab-lished rules, which they felt were too strict, formal, traditional and even procedural. It elevated folk art and ancient custom to something noble, made of spontaneity a desirable character (the musical impromptu) and argued for a natural epistemol-ogy of human activities as conditioned by nature in the form of language and customary usage. Christian culture dealt with a struggle between the heavenly perfection and the human experience of inadequacy and guilt. This sense of struggle and ever-present dark forces and dark feelings, were present in the existing culture and part of the whole human experi-ence. The big names during this era included – William Blake, Henry Fuseli, Francisco de Goya who were excellent examples of artists, who not only dealt both with these dark feelings, but also with their rejection of such concepts because they felt society could and should be living up to a higher standard of personal freedom and individualism. Romanticism can be seen as a rejection of the precepts of order, calm, harmony, balance, idealization, and rationality which typified Classicism in general and late 18th-century Neoclassicism in particular. It was also to some extent, a reaction against the enlightenment, against 18th-century rationalism and physical materialism in general.
VISUAL ARTS – In European painting, the Romantic sensibility contrasted with the Neoclassicism being taught in the academies. In a revived clash between color and design, the expressiveness and mood of color, as in works of Theodore Garicault and Eugene Delac-roix, emphasized in the new prominence of the brushstroke and impasto, the artist’s free handling of paint, tended to be repressed in neoclassicism under a self-effacing fin-ish. Painters like Thomas Cole, Albert Bierstadt, Fred-eric Edwin Church often ex-pressed Romantic themes in their paintings, convey-ing a message that Nature is powerful and will even-tually overcome the tran-sient creations of human. More often, they worked to distinguish themselves from their counterparts by depicting unique scenes and landscapes.

ROMANTICISM AND MUSIC – E.T.A. Hoffmann called Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven the three ‘Romantic Composers’ and Ludwig Spohr used the term ‘good romantic style’ to ap-ply to parts of Beethoven’s Fifth Sym-phony. Technically, Mozart and Haydn were considered Classical composers and by most standards, Beethoven represented the start of the musical Romantic period.

Surviving in agony and pain for several years and until he becomes a stronger mutant, Erik confronts Sebastian yet again in a private cruise and plans to take a revenge for his mother’s execution.

The saga of gorgeous Hema Malini
She is a notable Bharatanatyam artiste, Choreographer,
Politician and a Padma Shri awardee. Hema Malini is one
of the most celebrated and successful movie adepts in
the history of Indian cinema. From ‘Sapnon Ka Sauda-
gar’ way back in 1968 to her latest flick ‘Sadiyaan’, she
continues to stand unbeaten as the Dream Girl of Bolly-
wood. Appearing in over 150 movies in the last four de-
cades, she has given a multitude of well recognized and
remembered super hits. Let’s have a look at the special
review of this extraordinary actress...
1968Where she made a debut in the movie – Sapnon Ka Saudagar in which she starred next to the ever-green actor of yesteryears, Raj Ka-poor. This amatory drama flick was an immediate hit in the box office, followed by many such entertain-ing ones.
1972Directed by Ramesh Sippy, the story of Seeta Aur Geeta is about identical twins, getting separated at birth and grow up with different temperaments. The twins then swap places (like The Prince And The Pauper) Hema’s two partners in the movie are played by Dhar-mendra and Sanjeev Kapoor. She was noted for the novelty of her role as Geeta where she is rambunctious and rebellious. Although this theme has been reprised in other movies be-fore and after, Seeta aur Geeta stands out and has a very light and catchy mood.
1970Johny Mera Naam was a critical success. Acting alongside Dev Anand and Pran in this escapade-drama, Hema Malini gained further fame and repute. This entertaining crime story is about two gangsters, who smuggle dia-monds and two brothers who were separated during childhood, after the murder of their father.
1975Sholay was released on August 15th, 1975. Starring with actors like – Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra, who were already famous by then, Hema Malini played a role of a feisty, talkative, young woman who makes her living by driving a horse-cart. The Film Society Of Lincoln Cen-tre described it as ‘an extraordi-nary and utterly seamless blend
of jeopardy, drollery, music and dance’, labeling it an ‘indisputable classic’. Sholay earned about Rs. 15 crores in its first run. That amount of earnings was a record that remained unbroken for several years.
1974Hema (Lata) played a role of an air-hostess falling in love with Karan (Rajesh Khanna), a womanizer and an alcoholic, in this movie – Prem Nagar. Lata accepts to transform Karan into a better individual and suc-ceeds in it. This movie became a box office hit and ran in theatres for nearly 750 days. It received five of five stars in the Bolly-wood guide Collections. The film grossed 4,50,00,000 at the box office in 1974.
1980The Burning Train had all huge stars act-ing (Vinod Khanna, Neetu Singh, Vinod Mehra, Jeetendra, Parveen Babi) and a major hit, own-ing to several action sequences. Hema played a role of an adorable girl, Seema, who falls in love with Dharmendra and plan to get married. The movie was about a fast train named Super Fast Express, that catches fire on its inaugural run from New Delhi to Mumbai.

2010Sadiyaan, an emotional drama nar-rated in an old fash-ioned way, is a movie from a different era, when the warmth of relations mattered the most, when blood was thicker than wa-ter and when promises were meant to be honoured. The movie is about two moth-ers Hema Malini and Rekha. Hema (Bena-zir) plays a role of a mother who leaves behind her child in the mansion she lived in, before moving to Lahore. The child is rescued by Amrit (Rekha) and Rajveer (Rishi Kapoor), who try hard to locate the parents of the child, but in vain. They de-cide to raise the child themselves.

Hamsters are small, cute, play-
ful who eat less and are the best buddies of their owners! And the bonus point is they don’t crave for your attention, instead they like to be left alone.
Hamster’s tail is very small. They are nearsighted and colorblind. But, they have incisive hearing and smelling ability. They are crepuscular.
They live approximately for 2-3 years (depending on their species). For fe-male hamsters, the ideal age for breeding is four to six months and for male around three to four months.
Their favorite is toy wheels. They like to run and exercise. Interest-ingly, after running long
on the wheel in their cage, they look here and there, wondering they are still at the place from where they started running. They enjoy tun-nels, tubes, ball, wooden structures, on which they can climb on. Toys are the best way to keep their teeth in shape. They like chewing a lot, so provide them with wooden toys and structures. There are hamster toys and wheels readily available in the market.
Cater them with hamster cage with all the necessities such as an ex-ercise wheel, toys and a snug little bed. Make sure that you clean the cage regularly. Choose a cage according to the species of hamster you are domesticating, one that is appropriate for the size of your pet. Don’t overlook on cage cleaning, feeding and daily handling to ensure a healthy hamster.
They can store food in their cheeks up to 20% of their body weight. They react to their names and also remember their relatives. As any other animal, they too need a healthy diet containing carbohydrates and fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals and water. Treat them with hard-boiled egg, milk, monkey chow, yeast. They munch on vegeta-bles. Small amount of grass, clo-ver and a carrot a day is fine.
Being solitary, they don’t need much looking after. They can be happy alone. Their growth is rapid and are short-lived. Moreover, they are best considered as pets because they are inexpensive and their diet is identically less. Hence, their living costs very little. With such care and handling, own a pet without further thought.
Pets, for long have been kept as watch guards or to demo one’s status. But today,
one owns pet for best companionship, to fight loneliness, to cuddle, and to find someone
cute every time around you see, talk them nonstop, pamper them, order them, to envy or trouble your neighbors and simply love them and make them a part of your life. The best thing is, they won’t earn your enmity and even at your worst they will remain your best. They are sweet, cute, adorable and lovable. All they need is your care and love. As dogs, cats, love birds, parrots, guinea pigs have been owner’s favorite, so have Hamsters.
ENDEARINGHAMSTERS
Many of them mistake hamster for guinea pig. Well, guin-ea pigs are also cute and endearing. Though both of them are rodents, but they are entirely dissimilar pets. Hamsters are small. They can fit into a child’s hand whereas guinea pigs are much larger, around three times bigger to ham-sters. The main difference is that guinea pigs sleep in night whereas hamsters seem pretty active then. Hence, they are known as nocturnal and they look like furry mouse.

DJ Piyush‘MUSIC SAVED MY LIFE’ –
A strong but a true phrase! I am glad to be in a position where I am now. Music bug bit me when I was 16 and have always been behind it ever since. Before that, though I was equally passionate towards music, I had no idea about DJing, until a friend of mine (who
was also a DJ), took me to a club in Juhu – Raspberry Rhinoceros.
I observed that his music resembled a lot like mine. This incident influenced me more! That is how it all originated and how I was inspired. I then started investing money on purchasing the music essentials.
‘My first gig was for my own birthday. I love doing music so much and I am gifted with a talent to identify what people expect and love to hear and I will be ever dedicated to keep the crowd happy. I specialize in Hip-Hop, R & B, Raggaeton, Bollywood remixes, Electro-House, Progressive IBIZA Trance and others. I listen to a lot of Retro, Trance, Sufi music. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is my all time favourite artist.’
The epitome of his talent is being in sync with the crowd, oozing confidence and interactive micing skills with spontaneous rapping and live remixing techniques.
Piyush Bajaj carved a niche for himself, playing at the hottest and the most happening party patches of Hyderabad. With a purpose to encourage electronic music more, he played at many outdoor gigs and parties, pushing the deeper and darker side of club and house music. He was recognized as one of top 50 young entrepreneurs of south India, by the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and had performed in Bangkok, Shanghai, Switzerland, Bahrain and Germany as well. He is the winner of ‘War of the DJs – 2005.’ He is a whiz in enthralling the crowd with the best of anything they love to hear.
‘There is music for every mood and situation of life. Nothing else gives me satisfaction than get-ting the tired and worn-out souls, to the dance floor.’
I owe a large amount of success to the city’s crowd, who have loved my music and encouraged all through these years. I consider myself honoured to be a part of Hyderabad.

conquered all odds and made his place in the music industry.
‘I have been in the field of DJing for more than 12 years now with performances in the best pubs in Hyderabad. I play for every age group and according to what people love to listen, but at the same time, I give my style music too, as people now are into Desi Bhangra, Hip-Hop and so on. This is how I pull the crowd to the dance floor. I first play what they need and then skip to Progres-sive-House or Dutch music, besides introducing new tracks on mike. I specialize in Techno, House, Electro, Urbane, Commercial, Retro and Progressive music and also Bollywood remixes ‘ – he says.
He is innovative and his reputation precedes his name, which is synonymous with a broad spec-trum of his music genre. Name the genre and he has fine-tuned himself and mastered it effort-lessly. He has to his credit more than 1000 private parties.
Understanding the crowd and entertaining them accordingly was what he always did and soon he turned to be an eminent figure in the DJ World, indispensable from the pubs, discotheques, social functions and corporate events.
He imparts knowledge and trains upcoming and promising DJs with minute detailing of DJing and sound production from his vast experience of more than a decade. With his wide and depth knowledge of DJing and sound production to compliment it, DJ Asif Iqbal has been invited as a judge in the ‘War of the DJs’ conducted at IIIT, MGIT campuses recently. By doing so, he has made India proud by not only participating in it, but also winning the same.
The crowd of Hyderabad show keen interest towards music. They are ever supportive and love my music. They are picking up good style in different genres like Dutch, Techno, Progressive and more. I share a wonderful af-finity and have several memorable moments connected to this city.

DIVINE DESTINATION
ISLAND OF GODS - Located in south of Indonesia, this island is one of the best beach and holiday des-tinations all across the world, anytime in a year. Known for tranquil beaches, natural and welcoming beauty, abundant greenery and vegetation, extremely pleasant surroundings, Bali is an ideal place to attain spiritual enlightenment, peace of mind and eternal love. A true traveler’s journey is incomplete without visiting Bali, once in lifetime. Bali for few years awarded as the world’s best island by - International Travel Magazine. Although every place possesses divine touch and celestial bliss, the best ones to explore are –
‘Life in Bali is always relat-ed to ‘Tri Hita Karana’ or a tripartite concept that in-clude the spiritual relation between Human, God and their Environment. It is the Balinese civilization what makes the island different from other destinations. ‘
TEMPLES OF BALIBESAKIH – Many claim that there are more temples than homes in Bali. Over a thousand years old, Be-sakih Temple is known as the ‘Mother Temple of Bali.’ It is the biggest and holiest of all the Balinese temples. Named after the Dragon God believed to inhabit the mountain, it is said to be the only temple where a Hindu of any caste can worship. Eighteen separate sanctuaries belonging to dif-ferent regencies and caste groups surround the three main temples dedicated to Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu. To the Balinese, visiting the temple sanctuaries is a special pilgrimage. The mountain top setting gives it a mystical quality. Steps ascend through split gates to the main courtyard where
the Trinity shrines are wrapped in cloth and decorated with flower offerings.
GOA GAJAH – One of the most historical sites in Bali and was developed in the 11th century, on the western edge of Bedulu Village, a few miles away from Ubud. Goa Gajah is a place to meditate and worship the spiritual essence of the site, Lord Ganesha - the Hindu God of knowledge and wisdom, who is characterized as an entity by his elephant head and four arms.

photography and exoticism. Located in Tabanan, the temple sits on a large offshore rock which has been shaped continuously over the years by the ocean tide. It is one of seven sea temples around the Balinese coast. Each temple was established within eyesight of the next to form a chain along the south-western coast. Sunset is the best time to visit, when the golden red skies frame the temple and waves crash into the rocks. The temple itself is built on a small promontory which is only accessible at low tide. During high water the rock takes on the appear-ance of a large boat at sea, such is its shape.
TAMAN AYUN – (literally translates as ‘beautiful garden’) is the Royal Temple of Mengwi Empire, located in Mengwi village. It is set on the land which is surrounded by the big fish pond and look like a drift on the water. It owns the beautiful temple building with multistoried roof and Balinese Architecture. According to Astadewata, a special God wor-shiped in Taman Ayun Temple is the God in manifestation as a Wisnu God, which his palace is located in top of Mangu mount.
Anthropology, Architecture and Environmentalism. There are hundreds of shops selling antiques, woodcarvings, crafts, textiles and paintings. Traditional cuisines dominate this region, but these days, various ex-otic cuisines are also served at the best restaurants like – Mozaic, Wa-rung Enak, Indus and Ibu Rai. There is good rafting available on the Ayung River at Sayan, just west of Ubud. This is the domain of high-end resorts like the Four Seasons and Amandari. Visiting Bali Bird Park (a splendid two-hectare aviary park with more than 250 species of birds), Petulu (where between 15,000 – 20,000 white Herons arrive here and tussle for roosting, is quite a sight to watch) and Bali Zoo (protects some of Indonesia’s finest species as well as other exotic animals including Siamangs, deer, kangaroos, reptiles, tigers, primates and various kinds of birds such as Bali starlings, peacocks, cassowaries and cockatoos) are must.

KUTA – Surfing, shopping and partying are the three main events in Kuta. In addition to being the best sunset point with its everyday spec-tacular sunsets, it is also knows for active nightlife. Swish, high-class, mid-scale restaurants and pubs line up the streets as well as the beach-fronts. The serene beaches of Kuta are one of the first favorite beaches discovered by tourists. On the south, the beach is fenced by the air-port’s runway, which gives you a breathtaking landing experience. The beach stretches as far north as the eyes can see. In the mornings you regularly see Balinese people throwing offerings into the sea, especially when Nyepi (‘Day Of Silence’ that is commemorated every Isakawara – Saka New Year) is approaching. The best spot is the temple right next to the beach about 200-250m to the north of the Hard Rock Hotel. Visit Waterbom Park, the biggest water theme parks in the entire Asia and

One hundred or so bare-chested men sit down on the ground surrounding a bonfire or a fire made from coconut husks, led by a priest or a female dancer at the center. The only music to accom-pany them is the beats of their palms, clapping or hitting their chests, their thighs, or other parts of their bodies, rhythmically accompanied by shouting and chanting.
LEGIAN - Stretching north from Kuta, Legian offers standardized and easy access to shops and bars but with a slightly more relaxed and less chaotic feeling. This area draws high
profile visitors due to the endearing beach frontage and proliferation of mid-market hotels. Seminyak, a town north to Legian is more up market with mostly luxury accommodations and fashionable high-end restaurants and bars.

BEAUTY
Let us consider the dark spots and scars caused by acne. They not only leaves dark marks, but also tiny pits (holes) under the skin. These are difficult to remove, since the pits form due to destruc-
tion of skin tissue. The skin also gets a premature aged look. Some-times, there is extra growth of scar tissue, developing into ‘Keloids.’ The result of this kind of scarring is that, the skin becomes uneven and loses its smooth texture. Among the treatments for acne scars are Laser Therapy, Microdermabrasion, chemical peeling, etc.
Considering the risks involved in chemical peeling, I advise - Veg Peel-ing treatments, to minimize acne scars.
Some home remedies may also help. However, these home remedies for scar removal should be carried out after the acne condition has subsided. If there are no pimples, acne or rash, use a facial scrub. Mix rice powder with curd and apply on the face. Rub gently on the skin with small circular movements, especially on the areas with acne marks. Then leave it on for five minutes and wash off with plenty of plain wa-ter. Or, mix oats with egg white and apply on the face. When it dries, wet it with water and gently rub the skin the same way. Wash off with plain water. Do these scrub treatments twice a week
A face mask may also be used once or twice a week. Mix 3 teaspoons oats with egg white and one teaspoon each of curd and honey. Ap-ply on the face, avoiding the lips and area around
eyes. Wash it off after half an hour. Dried
and powdered lemon and
orange peels or
ground almonds can also be added to the pack.
If there is any dryness after undergoing these treatments, take two tea-spoons curd, add a pinch of Turmeric (Haldi) and apply daily on the face, washing it off after 15 minutes. This not only softens the skin, but also helps acne and marks.
Dark patches or blemishes may be due to many reasons, like hormonal imbalances. Sun-exposure is an important factor, as it increases the production of melanin, the natural colouring matter. Repeated expo-sure to the sun causes the patches to appear on the skin. Pigmented patches are also common on aging skin and may develop during the menopausal years. Dark patches may even appear during pregnancy. Chloasma is a condition of pigmentation which is usually associated with pregnancy and involves the upper cheeks, nose and forehead. In fact, it is sometimes called the ‘pregnancy mask.’
The first aspect of the treatment is sun protection with the applica-tion of sunscreens with a high SPF. If the skin is dry, a sunscreen lotion should be applied. For normal to oily skin or combination skin, a sun-screen lotion is more suitable. Sunblock creams of higher SPF are also available. The sunscreen should be applied about 20 minutes before sun-exposure, to allow it time to be absorbed by the skin. It should be reapplied if you are in the sun for longer than an hour at a stretch. The effects of the sun increase near water bodies and snow, as they reflect the sun’s radiation. Therefore, it becomes all the more important to protect the skin and re-apply the sun screen after 20 to 30 minutes.
A home-care routine is also advised, using specialized cleansers and products which help revitalize the skin and remove the pigmentation.
As far as home remedies are concerned, we recommend the use of fa-cial scrubs twice a week. You can buy a facial scrub or mix rice powder with curd and use as a facial scrub. Apply it on the dark patches and rub gently on the skin with tiny circular movements. Leave on for a few minutes and then wash off with water. Mix honey and lemon juice in equal quantities and apply daily only on the dark patches. Wash off after 15 minutes with plain water.
Twice a week, apply face mask. Mix 3 teaspoons oatmeal with one tea-spoon each of honey, curd and lemon juice, or egg white. Apply on the entire face, avoiding the lips and area around eyes. Wash it off after half an hour.
Fruit masks may also help Hyperpigmentation. Mix ripe papaya pulp with grated cucumber, tomato pulp and oranges. Apply the pack daily on the face and wash it off after half an hour. The pack not only lightens skin colour, but also revitalizes the skin and removes dead epithelial cells.
Blemishes on the face can be due to various reasons. There may be dark spots, scars and pits on the skin, left behind by acne. Or, there may be dark patches or dark spots (freckles) on the skin, due to sun-sensitivity. An acne-prone skin is usually oily and should there-fore be treated accordingly. A skin with sun-sensitivity is usually on the dry side, although an oily skin may also develop hyperpigmentation. Skin care should be according to skin type.
A word of warning - Never pick pimples or blackheads with the nails.

Conventional ceilingThis is the standard issue, ‘Plain Jane’ version of ceilings. It is essentially, a wall laid on its side and then covered with drywall or plaster. Usually 8 feet high to fit with standard construction material sizes, conventional ceilings have an ad-vantage of being easy to build and very functional. Building a conventional ceil-ing 10 feet high will make a room feel larger. They are found in most house-holds and can be made distinctive by painting them according to taste. Grace your plain ceiling with wooden work and lighting.
Cathedral ceilingThis is a high sloping ceiling attached directly to the roof trusses, rising all the way to the top of the house. Cathedral ceilings angle up to a central peak, providing a spectacular design patterns, as well as an open and spacious feel to a room or a home entrance. While visually attractive, cathedral ceilings may have a few down-sides. Since the ceiling panels are connected directly to the roof trusses, the trusses need to be wide enough (usually 12 inches) to allow adequate insulation and ven-tilation behind the ceiling. If trusses are too thin, it will be impossible to properly insulate the house. Conversely, if the gaps are repleted with insulation, there will be no space to allow for proper ventilation behind the ceiling. Also, the height of a cathedral ceiling itself makes it difficult (or expensive) to paint or change light fixtures. Finally, the high ceiling and the associated large volume of air can make moving the air for heating or cooling the home an expensive proposition.
Shed ceiling It is similar to a cathedral ceiling in that the ceil-ing line slopes up at one end, but the other side of the peak is a solid vertical wall to the floor. The rise angle of the ceiling is not as steep as a cathedral ceiling and shed ceilings are usually built with an attic above them for in-sulation and ventilation.
When it comes to the floor we walk over, tiles or floor designs are the only creativity we can think of. But when it comes to ceilings, sky is the limit! You can
do anything and everything you want to do. Colour them, shape them and play with them like clay in the hands of small children. To many, a ceiling is just a ceiling - a large, flat sur-face, few of feet above our heads. However, we can do a lot of things beyond imagination with the wall above our heads, which unlike the other sides are not only untouched but are also easiest to maintain. Here are some ceiling designs recom-mended by the creative designers –

Suspended ceilingIt is a flat ceiling, built underneath an existing ceiling. It consists of a metal grid work suspended from the existing ceilings, with panels built of light-weight acoustic material laid into the grid. Suspended ceilings are great at hiding old ceilings, wiring, plumbing or mechanical fixtures. Since the ceil-ing panels are not fastened but just laid into a grid, a suspended ceiling also provides easy access to the hidden wiring or plumbing behind them. They usually have an industrial appearance and they lower the original height of the ceiling by at least 6 inches, which can be a problem in basements where suspended ceilings are often used.
Vaulted, Tray and Cove ceilings All these ceiling types provide a transitional element be-tween the vertical walls of a room and the horizontal ceil-ing. As decorative elements, they provide increased vol-ume or height to a room. Vaulted ceilings arch up from the walls to the ceiling to furnish a high, spacious feeling. They look good and supply enough light inside the house. They also allow for skylights which are difficult to make under the conventional flat walls. Tray ceiling lines supposedly resemble a tray turned upside down. They have an angle around the perimeter where the ceiling meets the walls. Often, they have a flat ceiling centre with the sides sloping in from the walls, to join the level ceiling surface. However, tray ceilings are sometimes built with a series of stepped square edges going from the wall to the flat part of the ceiling. Cove ceilings have a rounded concave surface join-ing the walls and the flat ceiling. The curve is gentle and totally smooth, creating a rounded look which feels soft and very natural. Some homes utilize other types of trim or moulding around the cove.
ConsiderationsWhile choosing a ceiling type for your home, take the cost of heating and cool-ing into consideration. High ceilings increase the amount of heat needed in the winter because heat rises. Lower ceilings increase the cost of cooling because the heat is trapped in a lower area. Fans, windows and vents can be incorpo-rated into the design to improve heating and cooling efficiency and decrease heating and cooling costs. Before making any structural changes, it is advisable to consult a structural engineer or an Architect.

DON’T SPOOF! BE YOURSELF!World is a small place to live in. And life is a short period of
breathing and living. A hundred years is still scanty for beings like us, who have the most clued up mind ever. And in this
short time of our standing who do you think are you kidding by being someone else, by being someone who is not you? Well it’s not. Because as mentioned above, the world is a small place to live in and in this pocket size globe of mine there are a lot of people I have met, enjoyed with, shared my pain and happiness and then forgotten. But each time I think of them and many others, a wondering hits me down to the fact on how many genuine people have I been encountered with.
Let it be people we meet in our workaday or family or the arena of mak-ing new friends - social networking, everywhere if there is one thing that pulls down the image of a person, then it is the faux attitude. If I can’t afford a designer wear sari then I don’t have to. If I don’t have a great job to swank a luxury convertible which would eventually lead the vigilance into raiding property, then in that case too, I don’t have to. If I am a daughter of a government employee and I don’t have the pocket money to buy myself plenty accessories or garbs, then again I don’t have to! Now, in the aforesaid mentioning, there is difference be-tween passion and show off. Passion is an innate activity that at some time, may lead to show off and show off is an activity based on the de

sire and self-involuntary instinct to prove something which may or may not have / are. In simple words, passion is a good character and show off is a pitiable trait, which not only leads to demeaning, but also gives a bad tag line to one’s self-respect.
Now here is an interesting fact. When we converse with people, there is one side within us which is honest and the other side which wants to be something that we have always wanted to be and somehow we tend to blend both of them and give that person standing in front of us an impression about us which is only half true. No, this is not a mind blowing fact. The fact is that a human can never ever be entirely honest about self to another human. And that is natural and need not be com-plained about. But honesty is not a criterion for liking a person, the idea of being oneself is. Many have this weird habit of lying about anything. You ask them, ‘How was your day?’ They tell you, ‘Bad! I had a bad accident!’ And some ‘bad’ accident without a scratch isn’t it? You ask them, ‘Did you pour dirt water in the sink?’ Even if it does no harm, they deny. But you know what, this is what they are. Now, if they start faking around and pretend to be honest, then it wouldn’t suit them, would it? Well that doesn’t mean they should keep on lying. But, the pretence to be honest is lot more pain in the caput than lying itself.
To illustrate this without confounding, there is a personal experience I would like to share. I had a friend of mine at school, who like most of us, was a very simple, neighbourhood girl. A year later I was waiting for the town bus to arrive when someone tapped on my shoulder and before I could turn around and see who it was, two long hands fortified my bodice and the moment I looked up I saw a female in shorts and strapless blouse (in the bus stand) and hey, (You would have guessed by now who I am talking about) it was her! We greeted each other in the usual girly fashion of hugging, holding hands restlessly and embar-
you want to learn website designing, they will tell how excellent they are at speaking HTML language.
Such people assume good impression when people raise their eye-brows. What they wouldn’t notice is the hidden smirk that comes a few minutes later. Do you say this is natural? Well, I will tell you where it all goes wrong. They are still in their high school classroom where good grades mean they were ‘intelligent’ and have lived in that misconcep-tion for this long, especially in the contemporary world where people don’t talk books. I don’t think such people ever change. They can be great company to be with, but at the end they do have this ability to make people flee on their heels.
The phony look - If the lead makes you think I am talking about physical
rassingly screaming. I finally asked her to take a walk down the nearest coffee
shop to which she gladly agreed, but later changed my mind and hired an auto. As we sat there reminiscing old times, I could see her attention drifting to cute guys, her blush when she knew people noticed her, but as we talked for hours, I could not help but pity
for what had become of her. She was no more the cool sassy I knew at
school, she was a wannabe who was try-ing too hard to be the archetypal descended of
another wannabe, whose stature made people notice everything about her except the person
who she really was.
When it comes to fake attitude there are types too. No two leaves in the woods are same. So to make
this all more interesting, here is a briefed study on two main types of fake attitudes -
The intellectual stand - We all want to impress oth-ers. Let it be good sense of humour or passionate talking or the most famous of all, the intellectual stand. I have a better description for this category. They are called jack of all trades and master of

appearance, then you are right as well as wrong. It goes like this that the phony look is the commonest of all fake attitudes. Now if you have seen girls in short skirts and shorter tops, then you will notice that many of them are dead uncomfortable with their attire. You will see them pulling their skirts down at sporadic moments or trying too much to avoid keeping their hands awkwardly in front of their dresses.
I tell you what, I do not disdain girls who wear minis and shorts, as it is
The other part of phony look is the pretence to be someone else. Girls who assume that attitude can draw them attention, others whose sweet words are as made up as sugar and guys who think charm means wannabe talk, show how cool they are. Why is being what you are so difficult to handle? If a person doesn’t like you, then it can never be any big deal. You do not want everyone’s company, do you? And not everyone is perfect and doesn’t have to be. When people like you for what you are and dislike you for what you are, that is when you make the best friends of your life.
So the motto of this article to all who are living happy lives out there, here is a tiny advise – ‘Life is as tiny as a bubble. The moment it bursts, love, memories and life itself vaporize. So live this small life full size, without pretence and vice.’
their lives and they got every right to live it their ways. But hey, without digressing to my feminist issues, the point is - attiring in a manner that suits you and your lifestyle. Clothes don’t make you. Trendy bags or shorter clothes with large price tags, do not make what you are. No-body can ever judge you by what you carry. Yeah, but you keep up this bogus attitude, then the judgment is worse than it sounds. Such people need not worry. All you need is to be yourself. It is even simpler than it sounds!

Who should host the engagement ceremony?
Traditionally, parents of the bride. But today, the bride and groom can host it by themselves or a friend or other family member can undertake the hosting duties.
What kind of event should it be?
This depends on your budget and personal lifestyle. From a formal gathering with printed invi-tations, to a causal backyard barbeque or anything in between. A cocktail party with
hors d’oeuvres is always in exciting.
Who should be invited?
You will certainly want to invite your two families, so they can get to know one another. It’s a bad etiquette to invite anyone, other than those who will definitely be
A felicitous couple has decided to turn their relationship into a lifetime commitment and it’s time to spread the good news to family and friends. It is also time to introduce the future in-laws, to one another. And that’s why we organize an engagement ceremony to announce and celebrate to-
getherness of the couple. Traditionally this party should be hosted by the patents of the bride, usually at their residence. But looking at more casual and friendly societies around us, the rules for this event are not fixed, these days. These days, anyone can host an engagement revel. Among some families, this event is planned by the groom to make a proposal to his bride – although everyone is sure of the answer, before he does this. If this party will serve the purpose of introducing the two families to one another, it would be a good idea to have a live ice-cream counter. Someone who knows the guests better, should be as-signed the job of welcoming them to the event and making the introduction.
Important DOs and DON’Ts -
invited for the wedding. So it’s good to limit the guest list to those very close to you. Typi-cally, guests who would have to travel are not invited, as you will already be asking them
to travel for the wedding. (The exception to this rule would be the parents of the bride or groom).
When should the engagement happen?
Among those families whose engagements last for a little longer duration, engagement parties are held one to three months prior to marriage date. For the rest, it can be held any-
time around six months earlier to wedding.
Should you expect gifts for them?
The announcement of an engagement inevitably gets some guests thinking about the gifts for the couple.
Entertainment sessions -
Entertainment always enhances the nature of any event, although it’s not a necessity. A quality sound sys-tem with lively and upbeat music is good enough to make the guests happier. If your budget allows, you can hire an orchestra, as they offer pleasant background music. If you would prefer something livelier, hire a DJ or maybe a Mariachi band. You could even organize a karaoke and invite your guests to sing along. Set aside a floor for dancing and ask the guests to dedicate a dance move or two, to the newly engaged

couple. It’s a fantastic way to prepare you for the wedding. Your choice of entertain-ment should match the scenario and the theme of the party. Therefore, make sure you choose entertain-ment sessions which match your tastes and make you feel more comfortable.
What kind of food should you serve?
Choice of food depends once again, on the tone and theme of your par-ty and of course the number of guests you are inviting and their normal food habits and likes. For a cocktail party, a selection of hors d’oeuvres and finger foods are appropriate. A sit-down dinner may appear peculiar, so if you plan to invite more than ten guests for dinner, you may have to consider hiring caterers, if you don’t want to spend the entire evening washing the utensils in the kitchen. Hiring staff to serve food and drinks takes the pressure off you, but if that’s not within your budget, you may ask family members or friends to help out. It’s a great way to meet and mingle. For a more casual affair, choose a buffet, barbeque or a potluck. Party shops stock a fabu-
lous array of disposable cutlery and plates these days and they will save you time at the kitchen. If you choose to hold your engagement at a restaurant or a hotel, you can plan the meal accordingly to your tastes and budget. The catering manager can also help you select a menu which is within your price range.
Alcohol, beverages or fruit juices?
Just like food, your choice of drinks depends on the style of party you are arranging. Unless you are having a formal cocktail party and intend to serve cocktails and mixed drinks, most people steer clear of spirits these days. They usually involve preparation. You need to provide a variety of different mixers and they can work out to be very
expensive. A couple of good quality brands or beer, good quality wine (white and /or red- the choice is yours) and a range of mineral waters and soda generally satisfies most palates. A self-serve bar works well at an informal gather-
ing, or if you prefer, you can hire professional staff to prepare and serve drinks. And dint forget the cham-pagne if you intend to have toasts.
Engagement party favors
Engagement party favors aren’t necessary, but if you would like to present your guests return gifts, then something with the date of your wedding is a good idea. A decorative tag or sticker with your wedding date can be attached to a small scented candle, a gift box filled with chocolates and cookies or scented soaps can be presented.

How to make him feel Special By Shalini Jena
All those mushy talk, those flashy smiles and exclusive dates may result to be a back-fire tragedy when it comes to making you feel special. The cheesy stuff they do, might not work on you, but when the doer is you, it totally overwhelms them with gratitude. So let’s start the 10 ways by musing over how to make that happen!
Surprise them!We all like surprises and this includes men as well. They love to make us feel on the top of the world, but deep inside they too become de-lirious when caught off guard, for a change. Make sure that whatever you plan is not all gooey and emotional. Better do something fun for him! Like, get his favourite game tickets or plan with his friends to take him for a surprise hangout.
Keep Them Safe!Now, none of this can be universal. But come on, no matter how much your guy loves you and knows that you love him back, your all too sweet demeanour might test his ego if you run your tongue around babbling about your special moments with others. So care to keep those moments just between the two of you, because most men are pretty sensitive of their ego.
Food + NotesIf someone said that a man’s heart is through his stomach, then no one is bluffing here! A romantic, dinner is a great idea, but let’s say you have work to do. Then have a take-a-note habit. Like different colours mean different things, a lot of men appreci-ate that attention you give. Stick a note on his fridge that guides him to his favourite cake. It’s fun, sweet and makes them happier to know that you always care.
Avoid The Usual BuggingPlease avoid blaming him too much, for being careless on dis-playing emotions. In fact, a funny thing is, you get it more if you are less worried about it. By doing this, you let him know that there is no pressure on him for any reason, whatsoever. And this is one magic trick that backfires. During the rose period of a relationship they make you feel like the most won-derful happening in their life, but later they get too used to it and take you for granted. But you got to understand that it is a good thing, as it means that they know you will always be there.

Pamper Please...
When he is sick, treat him like a baby. All men are tough and can handle anything until they come down with cold or flu. Just like Nora took care of Barney in HIMYM and that made him feel so special that he was smitten by her! It is important to let him know that it’s fine to be vulnerable and that you can be the stronger one, for once. They will really appreciate this and will undoubtedly create a deeper connection.
Stop Getting UpsetDon’t get sad all the time. We all can be in-sensitive, at times. At such situations, words which we could never mean, take shape and the best thing to do is to wait and sort this out in a composed and a thoughtful manner. This makes him realise your love for him and a bitter fight that could have worsened things, ac-tually turns out to be a special moment.
Just Say ItI love you! These three words are magical and human race owns a lot to the person who first thought of it and said it. It’s like a na-tional phrase which means that you care for that someone spe-cial. Love has deep emotions which can be portrayed in dif-ferent modes. Some-times, it is expressed taciturnly and other times, aloud. Either way, men might act all cavalier, but they care much more than women do. And they love it when you care to say these magical three words.
Give Him A Break!Make sure he knows that you are fine with him, having his occasional guy time without having to make a big deal about it. It can be anything, from playing Hockey or Cricket with his best friends or cel-ebrating an all boy’s night to hanging out alone and having his own happy-time whenever he wants to.
Fantasy!Fulfil your fantasies with him! Do keep spicing things up, in your re-lationship. It sure is your part to do. Maybe you have a bowl beside the bed that you both write your fantasies in and then take turns fulfilling them over time. This can be a ton of fun for both of you!
See That He TalksLet him talk for a change too. At times, we are so busy with our lives that we just don’t stop and think about the fact of how their day went. They don’t like to be asked too many questions. So just ask them how their day was and let them talk.

Back to College!
I love my college! It’s amazing to get back to college after summer holidays, as I get to meet all my friends where I have a gang of friends. Now that I am in my third year, I want to create fun filled moments before I walk out as a gradu-ate. Getting caught while eating chew-ing gums, playing music in the class, King Kong Hi-5s are a few memories, I will always remember’ – Siddanti Bodhu, St. Francis.
College days are one of the most un-forgettable times in a student’s life for a combination of reasons. Many students are happy on knowing
about their college re-opening, while there are others who have bitter memories connected to this phase. So, it’s both a good and a not-so-good feeling for college goers. Many prefer life beyond just sitting in a classroom for hours to-gether and listening to lectures, but there are others who love the feeling of waking up early in the morning with an urge to reach college as early and leave as late as they can. A fine line is drawn between reluctance and enthusiasm, fun and seriousness, indolence and avidness, but at times, a combination of all these factors. What makes college life boring, yet interesting? Let’s hear it from a few below -
‘ It is a wonderful feeling after getting back home from a strenuous exercising at the gym. The change in atmosphere, friends, the special place at the col-lege canteen where your ideas are generated out of which, most of them are insane. At times the huge summer gap gets even broader than it is supposed to be. Getting back to a place where you always belong holds a special place’ – Amir Khan, Badruka College.
‘Feels good to go back to a routine and hang-ing out with friends everyday’ – Roshni Banerjee, St. Francis.
‘College seems too hec-tic. But it will get back to normal soon. A second year student like me will be excited about the IDEs. Hopefully, it will be a good experience and I am happy that I am back on schedule. Summers are unbeliev-able’ – Abeer Rasheed Khan, St.Francis.
‘It feels like I got a new life alto-gether. There is more to life than just eating and sleeping’ – Aashita Agarwal, St.Francis.
‘Holidays have always been fun. But after the college re-opened, the fun added on. There is always something exciting happening in college everyday and you get to meet a lot of new people. While in college, I am always occupied in either listening to music or to the new gossips or struggling hard to complete stressful assignments. No matter what, at least I always wait for a new day in college, be it even after having a bad day or a catfight with friends’ – Saloni Gulati, St. Francis.
‘Well, my summer break was fun! I travelled a lot and met my cousins too, so I had a very nice time on the whole. In fact, I was waiting for the college to re-open. But when it is open, I now find it a bit boring. But now, I am getting used to the routine. So now I feel that my life is back to normal and I am liking it’ – Prerna Kulkarni,St. Francis.
‘It feels amazingly awesome and out of the world, to find myself occupied with everything around. Have been waiting for a long time! The best part is you meet all your friends and get a chance to bunk classes and trouble the lecturers’- Roshni Ahuja, St. Francis.

It all began during a vacation in China. Though being happy with our lives, we always had a thought of doing something for kids. The idea was tempting and after a shopping spree by the streets, we made up
our minds to establish a concept store in Hyderabad, dedicating only for kids. The duration of this dream project lasted longer, but sooner, Kids Avenue was successfully launched in 2010. Through this journey, we held continuous support and backing up from our husbands in all the prospects required and would like to thank them for the same. However, the journey has just begun and yet to achieve a lot more. We also contrive to establish this organization, beyond Hyderabad in near future.
About Family –We three are more like friends, than co-sisters to each other, sharing tough and easy times in lives, staying together as a family and working together. Having similar choices and opinions on professional terms,
Love and compassion for kids and an urge to dedicate and attain something exceptional for them, are what inspired them to reach where they are today. Owners of Kids Avenue boutique and co-sisters - Reema Agrawal, Rakhee Agrawal and Shalini Agrawal, talk to Tulip about their magical bonding among them, a dream they lived unitedly and turning it into a reality…
we share a tremendous rapport. We turned over to a level of under-standing, where do not complain about things. We have always had unending support and encouragement from our husbands, in all the aspects of life, right from when we got married.
Reema : ‘I have two sons (Dhruv and Arnav) and I am totally enjoying my motherhood. We love attending parties and socializing. My hus-band always advises me not to get stuck in whatever I have in life and to keep moving ahead and dream more.’
Rakhee : ‘I want to thank my parents for bringing to me position where I am today. I have two daughters (Vedika and Aanika). I feel extremely blessed to be a part of their lives, as a mother and the days when they were born, will always remain unforgettable. Ten years from when I got married and to now, there have been arrant balance and harmony among us.’

Shalini : ‘I am blessed with one son (Dheer). I was a simple, reserved, family oriented girl who was always into being a topper, during school-ing and college days. Marriage changed my life from good to better and I owe a lot to my husband, who inspired me to do anything, that I always wished to.’
Our passion towards travelling influenced us a lot - We revel traveling which brings the best out of us. And as good as that, we enjoy shop-ping. Reema states – ‘Over the recent four years, we have been paying a pilgrimage visit to Shirdi and Haji Ali Dargah, once a year. My nearly memorable travelling moments are connected to Istanbul. It’s a place I can holiday anytime, over and over, for it possesses wonderful histori-cal monuments and mosques. Half Europe and half Asia, the city has a balancing combination of cultures, traditions and rituals belonging to these two continents. I have a different taste when it comes to travelling and I prefer exploring places by my own. Journeying to Beirut (Lebanon) is a dream and I hope to fulfill it in near future. Further, holidaying mo-ments at Chicago for more than a month with family and friends, are still anew. We make it a point to sojourn a new place or two, each year.’ With a subtle smile, Reema continues – ‘Journey to Mauritius will al-ways remain special. The undersea walk was a thrilling adventure with my husband.’
Shalini enjoins – ‘I have not travelled much, although I visited New Zea-land seven years before. The place almost seems imaginary and unreal. A land of eternal peace and calmness, raw and natural beauty, it offers the best of adventurous sports to tourists. I loved my stay at Auckland.’
Almost always, we have our lunch together, whether it’s going out or having it at work. Beyond Hard Rock Café and Syn, Reema and Rakhee say – ‘We enjoy south Indian thalis at Southern Spice and Abhiruchi, Chutneys for north Indian and Aromas of China for Chinese cuisines. ’ ‘I frequent Little Italy at times, says Shalini. The best places to shop at, are – GVK One and Inorbit malls.
‘Traveling is more than a passion for me. Packing bags may seem bor-ing, but the entire span of journey helps me remember only the best things, after I come back. My best friend lives in San Francisco and visit there quite often. Singapore is a spectacular holiday spot and every place is beautiful there. Learning how to fly a plane and flying it for an hour was the most adventurous activity I made and a great experience I will always remember’, says Rakhee.
On Devotion, Spirituality, Fitness and Lifestyle –We believe in Karma, oneness and pray all Gods. We also believe that there is a constant Godly force existing within us, all through, indicating that there is nothing to be worried about in life, when we look for Him.

I visit him along with family, once or even twice a year to seek spiritual blessings and good fortune. We believe in him a lot, for his past predictions have turned true, guiding us towards right paths.’
Being fit and healthy is our priority. Often, we make sure we indulge in versatile fitness activities and insist our families too, to follow it and make it a regular affair. Shalini says – ‘I believe in Yoga and I start my day with it. It, not only has an influence on physical aspect of body, but ad-dresses mind and soul as well. I perform it 5 days a week at Sharmila’s Yoga Zone, which has now become a part of my everyday life. I then return home to make breakfast for my son and husband. Being around, watching them happy all the time, talking with them is what I love to do. As I am religious, I also dedicate 10 minutes of everyday, offering prayers to God. Lunches are at work, but breakfasts and dinners are invariably at home, with family. I owe where I am now, a lot to my fam-ily.’ With a dissimilar, yet a productive approach towards fitness, Rakhee says – ‘Daily exercises are a great way to help relieve the stress within your body and it brings a sense of well-being in my life. Yoga is the best way to connect to your inner self. It is the best way to have a good rest of the day. My life has been transformed to good, ever since I started it and I recommend it to all the fitness freaks out there. I also sit at the balcony and watch the lovely greenery around – that’s one of my ideas to have a good time. I continue my day with cooking for family. Reema, Shalini and I, often have this – ‘Special Breakfast Sessions,’ where we all join and have it together, sharing light, memorable moments.’ As a superficial opinion, Reema says – ‘I am not much into fitness but, I en-joy waking up early and go for a long walk. I am talkative and I love to make people around me, happy and that’s my way to attain true peace. I am religious as well as spiritual. Daily prayers to God in the mornings are a must.’

YOU WILL NEED
•Stripsofpaper(⅛ or ¼ inches wide) of varying colors• A slotted quilling tool,• A drop of white glue on a piece of scrap paper and• A toothpick.
HERE’S HOW
Insert the end of the paper into the slot of the quilling tool1. Turn the slotted tool towards you. Place your thumb or index finger at the very tip of the slotted tool - this will prevent the paper from slipping off the tool. Use the other fingers to guide the strip of paper so that it rolls into an even plug (called a tight coil).
HOW TO DO PAPER QUILLING
2. When done, turn the slotted tool a quarter turn away from you. Pull the plug out of the slotted tool. Hint - the coil comes off the tool neatly if you pull the coil off the tool and not pull the tool out of the coil.3. Use a toothpick to apply a small smidgen of glue onto the free end of the tight coil. Use your finger / a clean toothpick / forceps to press the free end onto the coil.4. When dry (about 5 seconds), you will have a tight coil. These can be used to make flowers, grapes, eyes and more.
DO HEED THE TIPS
Always tear your quilling strips before using them, do not cut the paper. The tearing feathers the edge of the paper so the seam blends when you glue the end to hold the shape in place.
The needle tool will enable you to produce a fine hole in the center of your tight circles which the slotted tool will not. The start of the paper in the circle will be bent if you use the slotted tool.
Always dampen the end of the quilling paper (with your tongue) before rolling on the needle tool. This will make the paper bind together at the outset instead of slipping off the needle. This actually, is the basic trick to use the needle tool.
Always roll your quilling paper as close to the tip of the needle tool as possible. You will also have the tightest circle when working at the tip of the needle.
Quilling is an art of creating decorative designs from thin strips of curled paper. This age-old art of paper quilling has been around since Renais-sance which dates back to about 3 to 4 centuries during when the
nuns used small edges trimmed from the Bible pages to create simple, yet beautiful form of artistry. It was an art practiced by ladies in the 18th century and was one of the techniques that young girls of wealthy households were required to learn as part of their studies. The colonists brought the art with them when they emigrated to America. Most of the quilled paper designs which have been preserved are of religious artwork. The art of quilling did die out for a time, but has recently become a very popular craft. This is because of the low cost of the paper supplies needed to make different designs to decorate invitations and boxes and especially pages of scrapbooks, with the increased interest in scrapbooking.

Mercedez Benz SLS AMG
The car is the first Mercedes automobile designed in-house by AMG and is de-scribed by Mercedez Benz as a spiritual
successor to the Mercedes Benz 300SL Gull-wing. The SLS AMG will also adapt the feature of wing doors that will swing open upwards on gas struts. The doors must be closed manu-ally as AMG engineers decided against auto-closing systems because the systems would have added 90 pounds to the car. In case of a roll-over, the doors can be fully detached to allow the occupants to leave the vehicle. Nine exclusive paint shades will be available, includ-ing two matte finishes. LED head and tail lamps will help make sure the car is visible at all times. Inside, the AMG SLS is clearly airplane inspired in its cockpit design. The car has a long bon-net, the passenger compartment is close to the rear axle and the rear of the car is short. Nappa leather, real metal trim and optional real carbon fiber help set the interior apart from traditional offerings. The performance highlights start under the long, shapely hood. An entirely new intake manifold system, restructured valve gear and camshaft and a de-throttled exhaust system are responsible for the performance boost. 9.5 x 19 inch front and 11 x 20 inch rear wheels wrapped in SLS AMG specific tires help put the power to the ground. With this powertrain, the SLS AMG will accelerate to 62 mph in 3.8 seconds before topping out at about 197 mph.
Originally created by an Indian-based designing firm for a Ma-harajah for his private collection,
this Rolls Royce model that comes com-plete with Ferrari Enzo style doors, grille of a Rolls-Royce with the shape of a Nis-san Z, packing exotic-style scissor doors and the spirit of the Maybach Exelero, was touched by the Indian designer Dilip Chhabria before it was nicknamed ‘The Black Ruby.’ With one of a kind design, the Black Ruby adds to its uniqueness with butterfly doors and red interiors.

Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse
A lifestyle product, built for both style and utility, the new Arc Touch is the lat-est update of Microsoft’s Arc wireless mouse series. It is as sleek as Apple’s magic mouse. But unlike the completely touch sensitive magic mouse, the
Arc Touch has two plastic physical keys for the left and right click, with a silver touch sensitive scroll in between. It is flat, like a mobile phone in its dormant or off state and is not curved like a normal mouse. Bending it physically not only shapes it into a conventional mouse, but switches it on. It has a couple of unique innova-tions that convert a mere peripheral to a stylish accessory. A never seen before feature, there is a distinct clicking sound once the mouse snaps into its operating position. The USB connector of the mouse is small and sticks to the magnetic bot-tom of the mouse.
PERFORMANCE - The Arc Touch performs well as a mouse with its BlueTrack laser sensor ensuring that the device runs smoothly on all surfaces and is very accurate. It gives you a vi-bration feedback as you scroll. The vibration feedback however lasts for a heartbeat longer than comfortable even after you are done scrolling.
Microsoft Demonstrates Windows 8
By the end of 2011, all the gadget lov-ers can expect to lay their hands upon the beta version of Windows 8. It is
expected to the first tablet oriented oper-ating system. It is going to compete with Google and Apple in the mobile tablet cat-egory. Codenamed Windows 8, it sports a completely redesigned interface, featuring tiles similar to Microsoft Windows Phone 7. Windows 8-based PCs will be able to scale from touch-only small screens through to large screens, with / without a keyboard and mouse. Microsoft also announced that all Windows 7 apps and programs will be supported in the new touch-enabled ver-sion of Windows and users will be able to seamlessly switch between these apps. The prominent ‘Store’ link seems to suggest that Microsoft will be offering a Windows App Store, much like Apple’s Mac App Store. They also demonstrated for the first time a fully touch-enabled Internet Explorer 10. Microsoft promises that while the interface is optimized for touch, it should also work equally well with a mouse and keyboard.
SIGNIFICANT FEATURES -
• Livetileswithnotifications,showingalwaysup-to-dateinformationfromyourapps.
• Fluid, natural switching between running apps.
• Convenient ability to snap and resize an app to the side of the screen, so you can really multitask using the capabilities of Windows.
• Web-connected and Web-powered apps built using HTML5 and JavaScript that have access to the full power of the PC.
• Fully touch-optimized browsing, with all the power of hardware-accelerated Internet Explorer 10.
• Fast launching of apps from a tile-based Start screen, which replaces the Windows Start menu with a customizable, scalable full-screen view of apps.

Adam, First Indian-Made Tablet On Sale Again –
India’s first home-made tablet Adam is up for grabs again, af-ter being sold out the first time round. First showcased at Con-sumer Electronics Show 2010, the tablet has been an object of
interest and criticism because of its Eden UI. It was one of the first tablets to feature the Pixel Qi display and was hailed by experts as the thing to watch-out for. For all new buyers, the company will ship an upgraded version of the Eden UI, which has now hit ver-sion 1.5. Adam originally was released with Google’s Android 2.2 Froyo operating system but now the company claims that they are working on an Android Gingerbread version, which will eventually be upgraded to Android 3.0 Honeycomb. The brand is yet to pro-duce the product in large scale, enough to make a mark.
SIGNIFICANT FEATURES -
Twitter, Now With Picture Search And Upload –
Micro-blogging domain Twitter has updated its search feature to show you not only relevant
tweets, but relevant photos and videos as well. Use the search box on the Twitter website and you’ll now be presented with a bunch of thumbnail images in the right hand column. Twitter has also outlined plans to make photo sharing simpler. In the near future, it also allows you to attach snaps to a tweet from within Twitter.com, and this will also roll out to all official Twit-ter mobile apps.
Asus Eee Pad MeMo 3D, gets official –
First spotted back at CES in January, the Android Honeycomb-based Asus Eee Pad MeMO tablet has
just been official launched and slated for release – and now it’s in 3D. Asus has bestowed glasses-free 3D tech upon the 7in 1024x600 display, allowing you to ogle pop-out vids without the need to slip on an uncomfortable pair of bins. The MeMO also comes with a MeMIC Bluetooth headset that will have hands-free chatting facility.
NVidia’s Tegra 250 Dual-Core processor clocking at 1Ghz powers the Adam alongside 1GB of RAM, 10.1 Pixel Qi display with multi-touch sup-port and a resolution of 1024x600, 8 GB of flash memory, a micoSD card slot, a 3.2 megapixel swivel camera and multiple ports including a full sized USB port.

Dip into the season with a fra-grance that is quintessentially summer. Embrace the sweet-
smelling scents which bring you na-ture in a bottle. This season look for a refreshing fragrance with notes of lotus lily, creamy musk sans fruity mel-ons, pineapples and mint leaves with an oceanic aroma.
For the perfect summer fragrances, first off, it should be light and crisp. A mélange of fruits and flowers would be perfect. Sweetness is astaple but it should not be heavy or cloyingly sweet. Next, add hints of musk, amber and patchouli. These notes are what make scents more exciting. A sprinkle here and there of musky sweetness leaves a very sensual trail. You don’t want your perfume to evaporate into thin air after an hour or so, don’t you?
Floral perfumes are those fragrances are dominated by one or several types of flower notes. These perfumes are mostly feminine and popular with women. Floral perfumes represent the essence of love and romance and are not only the oldest fragrances but the most popular too. Floral perfumes can be single floral fragrances with one single flower scent or several blended together to produce a unique scent.
Here are some perfumes to inspire your collection of summer fragrances.
