She had gone to the school to inform the authorities concerned that her poor health was the reason for doing so. Her father had accompanied her. It was alleged that the Principal did not cooperate with the father of the girl who left the scene after exchange of hot words. The former then reportedly slapped the girl repeatedly in front of the school assembly. Parul maintained that she had been sick since December 5 and was forced to go to the school following a message from her friends that her name would be struck off the rolls for not coming to school. |

A graceful kathak recital at Chandigarh's Pracheen Kala Kendra was a treat for the audience on Thursday evening. Akanksha Srivastava presented the recital on the occasion of the 83rd monthly 'baithak' of the kendra. It was quite apparent from the ease with which the dancer performed that Pandit Arjun Mishra has left no lose ends in her grooming. Bright and sprightly young Akanksha has earned herself a decent place in the field of classical dance. Her performance was an amalgamation of temple dance and dance from the Mughal courts. She started with an invocatory piece on "Ram Vandana". She swayed gently to the 'teen taal' beats on "Nam bhi bhakat vatsale”. This was followed by 'nritta'(pure dance) which had strong imprints of her expertise in the Lucknow gharana. The thumri 'Dekho chhed-chhad mohe garva lagaye' was well appreciated by the audience. Her dance of the Mughal court on "Darbar-e-Salami” was also less impressive. The concert ended with a 'taraana' set to raag Kalavati. Akanksha was accompanied by Dharamnath Mishra (vocal), Vikash Maharaj (tabla) and Sibbete Hassan (sitar). — TNS

Eat nuts to avoid bad fat: expert Almonds were among the best replacements because they were low in bad fat contents and high in good fat. Cashew nuts were also suggested, she said. Dr Karmally is an associate research scientist and director of nutrition at the centre. Lack of nutrition could affect any major body function, including heart, blood pressure, and bones. Dr Karmally said one needed to be very careful while planning the diet chart. Too much of butter and vegetable oil needed to be avoided. Obesity also posed threat to heart. She said fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fatless milk were the right ingredients of a balanced diet. Dr Karmally said parents should give a good diet to their children particularly in breakfast before they left for schools. She also suggested that certain body movements should be carried out after meals and certain time gap should be given before retiring to bed.

It’s my life
“LIVE today as if there is no tomorrow.” Believing in this motto, I try to make the best of each day. It helps me live life thoroughly and without worries and tensions of any failure. I am an extrovert who like meeting people and making friends. I take keen interest in social work by helping in organising blood donation camps and helping students with their problems in university affairs. I am pursuing LLB. I would, however, like to do the Barrister’s degree from the UK. I am always conscious of the fact that instead of going for long-term plans, the present should be neatly drafted. It automatically has a bearing on the future. In today’s world, it is always better if one loads himself with maximum information about his field concerned from maximum sources. I sometimes end up spending a lot on others while trying to help them in times of need, but I do not have any regrets because I feel that if I can lend smile to even a single face, it is a big achievement. As told to Sanjeev S. Bariana |
