Heart’s calling
They had a choice to bury themselves behind the stack of files that needs to be cleared almost each day; a choice to hang their boots after a tiring, grilling day at work. They still have a choice to go on with their life the way it is, without spreading their wings. Had they limited themselves, these bureaucrats and IPS officers from the Tricity wouldn’t have another version to themselves. It is because of their hobbies that they stretch out from the 24x7 on-duty calls, finding a vent and a new meaning. We catch up with some.
Sky bound Gift of wings:
He took a fondness to it much before his service. “In service, I wouldn’t miss a chance to be up in the cockpit; I would fly down to receive any VIP myself,” he says smiling throughout. Sit back:
Flying allows me to relax and now whenever I pass through a place that has a flying club I like to fly,” adds the man who has first solo on a Pushpak and later endorsed Cessna 152, Bonanza 835 and other planes in Punjab.
Verse friendly Pen right: He has written books on Urdu poetry; he sings ghazals, a passion that he has kept alive since his college days. His renditions at mushairas organised both at international and national levels have been recognised by the audience as the real voice of the contemporary genre of 'ghazals'. “Writing is not just about conceiving an idea, it has to be given a definitive shape as well,” he shares. Ramendra has already two documentaries made on him and his work. “I am not into laboured poetry, which is why I can handle work and my passion. I write when I feel like.”
Riding high At any given point of time, this immaculate, well-spoken officer is either sorting out cases or listening to people who pour out their problems. This can go on endlessly, but he makes a conscious effort to find time for what interest him. Noble animal:
“I am passionate about horse-riding. I have painted horses when I was young. I have been to various animal fairs and only seen my fondness for the animal grow. It is such a noble animal and being with it only makes a person compassionate; evokes empathy and confidence.” As part of the training also, Naunihal Singh goes for horse-riding every morning. Sky is the limit: Flying is another passion that he pursues as and when he has time. A qualified pilot, he has flown across India; Jaipur, Khajuraho, Lucknow and Bhopal. “I intend to pursue it further as well, as it an upcoming thing in policing. My endeavour is to provide better policing in India and this is my higher goal,” he shares.
Creative streak Writing is something that keeps his sanity intact. “The ideas in my memory sometimes come down from a subconscious to a conscious level through writing.” He hardly sleeps at best for five hours; this routine is, however, never a deterrent in the creative process.
Short take “I like writing short stories. They are not autobiographical, still sometimes the experiences at work finds way into the story,” she smiles making sure she writes more. This passion for her is like a breather, something she would want to return to more often. jasmine@tribunemail.com

A different cut
He’s been the exploring the market in contemporary design and corsetry. “Gothic period was a resurgence of sorts, not just politically but in terms of social culture as well. It was a time of great upheaval, away from the usual and mainstream. And that is what my brand Vintage Goth stands for.” It’s a conscious effort to depart from the conventional. He shares, “We are working with Victorian influenced old rose prints, floral prints, butterfly prints. In terms of fabrics, we are working with brocades, poly satin, poly dupion, chiffon, georgette.” The collection comprises floral print range, cocktail dresses, corset and bustier sarees. “The floral print range has a timeless old world charm due to the exquisite prints of butterflies, flora and fauna and peacocks, among others.” While the cocktail range claims to make the wearer, “a red carpet diva,” the corset and bustier sarees, lends a traditional twist to corsets and bustiers by introducing sarees, which come along with Corset and Bustier as blouse. “These ready-to-wear sarees have a mermaid skirt and are made of fabrics that make them apt for weddings or black-tie events.” Starting 2001, it’s been over a decade of being in the retail industry, so there’s a lot to exchange notes on, “As an industry we have evolved. We use a blend of technology and Indian culture to create globe-trotting collections. This speaks volumes about the industry.” There’s a departure from the mainstream thought process, he “doesn’t think” that prêt –a-porter dilutes the creativity of haute couture and “nor is there any specific” design icon who he admires, neither in the Indian markets and nor on the international front.

Romancing the vintage trunk
Sukhmani
Trunks were made in a large variety of shapes and sizes and from many materials and date back to pre-medieval times. The earliest trunks were rather primitive and date to the late 1700s. They were made of various woods and covered with hides such as deer, seal skin, horse, or cowhide. By the early 1800s the hide covered trunks continued and became a little more ornamented with handmade brass tacks, forged iron locks and handles and leather trim. From new vintage-inspired cigar leather trunks to broken-in well travelled luggage pieces or old world heritage timber trunks. A decorative trunk can make any space look elegant; it can give individual style, flair and a pretty storage space. There are lots of ingenious and creative ways for using a vintage trunk-- Bed end bench: Trunks make excellent bed end benches. Chose one that suits your decor, or better still, decorate your room according to the vintage piece. Its functional use can be to store your pillows and blankets. Coffee table: Trunks can be used as coffee tables in the living room. They can be an exquisite accent piece and, since it's usually placed in the centre of the room, they would also make a great focal point. If you want to use a dark wood finish trunk as a coffee table, make sure to keep the furnishings light/pastel coloured so as to make it stand out. Bedside table: A beautiful trunk can also be used as a nightstand if it has the right dimensions and shape. Place it in the bedroom near the bed and you have an original nightstand. Add a couple of vintage decorative pillows on the bed and you have a cosy bedroom that looks unique. Whimsical tables: If you have two or more similar small vintage trunks or luggage, add four legs to them and convert them into a set of fancy tables. If you have a beautiful vintage trunk you can even use it as a purely decorative piece. It doesn't have to be repurposed as a bedside table, coffee table, nightstand or anything else. Just use it as a place to display a few decorations and place it in the hallway or somewhere where everyone can see it and admire it. (Sukhmani is a Chandigarh-based interior and landscape designer)

Finding your own path
Renee Singh Learning to respond in a balanced appropriate fashion to events is a key skill in fighting stress. A so called bad day in your life is just that and nothing beyond. You obviously cannot control events but you definitely can control your reactions to them. Modifying behaviour
We have to learn to find inner balance, overcome inappropriate behaviour by analysing the feelings of unfairness. Try to discover and deal with the root of the problem. Do not ignore problems, acknowledge them as they arise. Your rights
1You have the right to make genuine mistakes and not feel guilty about it. 2We are only human, trying to be good and right constantly can take a huge toll on our personalities and this is one of the major causes of stress. So don't feel guilty even if you realise you have made a mistake. 3Mistakes are a part of your learning process. Analyse what went wrong, correct the error and avoid repeating it. You have to also remember that no one is perfect, so don't be too hard on yourself. 4You have the right to say no to other people's excessive demands on your time. Say it graciously. To lead a balanced life you need to establish your own priorities, standards and rights and be willing to take responsibility for your actions. Handling anger
Anger in itself is a disabling emotion and it produces measurable physical sensations such as increase in pulse rate and a rise in blood pressure. An explosion of anger does give you a momentary sense of relief but it disguises the real problem and simply turns into and becomes a problem in itself. If you explode unreasonably at a person, question the root of the problem. You could find an answer by making a list of possible reasons. Learning to control your anger by exploring its causes will bring down your levels of stress immensely. Think positively
To maintain a calm, balanced low stress environment you must learn to train yourself to think positively. A positive approach to all situations in life attracts a positive response from the people and situations you are dealing with. It helps us to remain in control even under immense pressure. Try not to be pressurised into decision making in a hurry. Think calmly and arrive at your conclusions at leisure. Reaching a level of balance within is of course something everyone craves for but then one also has to realise that we ourselves have to take the challenge of changing our perspectives to relieve our stress. Physical activity like a good walk, yoga and general exercise is a solution to stress also and does help in creating inner balance. Meditation, listening to music, visualising pleasant scenarios and thinking happy thoughts are all positive contributors. Find your own personal path to reaching balance within and feel joy taking over every aspect of your life. (Singh is a Chandigarh based
psychotherapist)

Keep it subtle
Manpriya Singh At times, bad make up can be worse than a shoe bite. A foundation that washes down to the collars till you look like a sportsperson in junior high and kohl running down the eyes till you appear like a werewolf that eats everything up on a moonlit night. It takes neither long nor a lot to get a set of eyes that look picture perfect for summers. Make up icon Bobbi Brown has always sworn by the no-sweat sheer make up to last you in heat and humidity. Her latest make up introductions for the summer of 2013, called Nude Beach Collection draws on the golden browns and sunlight gold in sheer finish. The make up for eyes is water resistant and blendable. Back home, Ambika Pillai for this season, has advocated "clean fresh eyes with a hint of colour on the lips. There should either be a pop of colour on the eyes or the lips." What the artists say
Keeping things simple and subtle is a great way to enhance one's natural beauty and draw attention to the eyes. A nude coloured eye shadow with a hint of shimmer brings a sparkle. Skipping the eye-liner and opting for double coated mascara is an option too. Tanvi KG of I Style Makeovers emphasises on the smudge proof eye make up for summers. "During summers, people tend to wipe their faces very often. Make up should be such that can stand the test of sweat and is non oily." She adds, "Gel liners are a great way to begin with and counter the problems of oiliness and sweat." As for the smoky look, "I think that's a complete no for summers, at least during the day. Instead of too much on the eyes, apply a bright lip colour." For someone who's ready to get too adventurous there are neon gel liners. The smoky eye might be here to stay but doesn't get a nod from the city based artists. Opines Antara Dhamija, make-up artist with a city based salon, "If at all, one goes for a smokey eye, it should be in nudes and browns." She adds, "A hint of shimmer, base colour palette, sweat proof products should make you look like a summer queen."

Emraan Hashmi comes of age
Emraan Hashmi's Ghanchakkar is getting ready for release and this movie is unlike anything he has ever done before. He talks about the promos of the sequel to Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai and dancing in Ghanchakkar.
The big change
I have not built a brand out of me like my colleagues. My popularity is limited to my films. So far, it has worked for me. In the past three years, my career has got a big boost and I have gone places, literally. My films would do well but I was not counted in the race of actors. Now I am considered a bankable actor and a hero and so many big films have come my way. I have figures to back my claims and I do films outside the Bhatt camp too. A suitable role
The character of Shoaib changed my fortunes. I have seen the promos of the sequel to the movie. The movie changed my life. I do not think about such things. If the makers felt they wanted an older actor to do the movie, it is fine. It is a valid call. I cannot talk about how it felt about being replaced because actors get attached to the characters and we play them with our heart and soul. On the dance floor
I tried dancing in my earlier films but it was like struggling to stay afloat when thrown into the water. I am comfortable shaking a leg now than I was ever before. But left to my own devices, I would rather avoid the whole thing. I am currently shooting a Sufiana song called Allah Meherban for Ghanchakkar. It is a qawwali number and quite fun. On Ghanchakkar
Vidya Balan and I are working again in Ghanchakkar after The Dirty Picture. There are some shades reminiscent of TDP. In this movie, Vidya and I play a couple who love each other but are also at each other's throats. They want to make the relationship work. The movie has very real marriage problems. The couple is at loggerheads most of the time.

Out to scare
It seems that Shraddha Kapoor has turned down her friend Arjun Kanungo's music video. She had agreed to do the video before Aashiqui 2 happened. Kanungo is a singer of Khoon Choos Le fame. They have been friends for many years and she turned down his video because she is a star now and has to be choosy about her work. Let’s see how her career shapes up in the future.
Star value: Shraddha Kapoor
Boom director to cast Sunny Leone?
The director of the movie Boom is all set to direct his next project and for that he has roped in Sunny Leone for a lead role. Sunny Leone, who is a Canadian-American porn actress, turned a Bollywood actress with Jism 2, which released in 2011. Recently, she did an item song for Shootout at Wadala. Director Kaizad Gustad also directed Katrina Kaif in her debut movie Boom which released in 2003. The director, who was not heard about after a mishap on the sets of his movie Bombay Central, is now back with a confidence to successfully take off his new project. Gustad is not ready to reveal much about the movie at this juncture. Confirming the same, he said, "Yes, I am doing a film with Sunny and Sachin." Sachin Joshi is remembered for his acting in Aazan, which released in 2011 and Mumbai Mirror, which released in the beginning of this year. Kaizad is known for his comedy movie Bombay Boys which released in 1998. Apart from these two leads, the director is also in talks with Naseeruddin Shah for a major role in the movie. There are going to be five major characters in the movie and all the characters will have some grey shades to their roles. A source tells us that the director found certain vulnerability in the adult movie actress turned Bollywood actress and hence she was chosen for this project. The movie is rumoured to be a comic thriller. It is on the lines of Brad Pitt's Oceans series. —

Stirring drama and commotion
In the up and coming episodes of Diya Aur Baati Hum, Bhabho (Neelu Vaghela) puts Sandhya (Deepika Singh) to test. So what do the viewers have in store this time? As per the ongoing track, Bhabho had told Sandhya that she will pursue her study for IPS exams only if she does not make any mistakes in the house till her next birthday. To keep a track of her mistakes, Bhabho keeps three mud pots in the house.
Why just three pots? Three pots are a symbol of three chances that Sandhya gets to make mistakes and if she exceeds the three chances, she will have to stop studying further. And Bhabho will break a pot at every mistake that she makes. Sadly, Sandhya has already made her first mistake and is now left with only two more chances. Now, Sandhya will come across something that will dishearten her and she will decide on making mistakes on purpose. She finds out that Bhabho had fed liquor chocolates to Sandhya just a day before her exams, so that she fails to reach the examination hall. Our source says, "She will realise that Bhabho will never be happy with her studies. This is when she will decide to make mistakes on her own to help Bhabho succeed in her mission." In fact, in the upcoming episodes, Sandhya will be seen taking the blame of rats entering into Suraj's (Anas Rashid) shop, in spite of knowing that Emily (Pooja Singh), Chavi (Shehrish Ali) and Meenakshi (Kanica Maheshwari) had entered his shop and one of them had left the door open.
‘I look for the impact of a role’
After proving her talent in many movies and television shows, Zarina Wahab will enter the popular show, Madhubala that is telecast on Colors. During a candies conversation with the Life+Style, the actor shares that she looks for the impact of the role and not it's length. Tell us something about your role in the show, Madhubala. In the show, I essay the role of Sultan's mother, who is mentally unstable because of a tragedy. My character, Meera, had an affair with RK's deceased father and did not know he was a married man. Meera could never overcome the trauma of RK giving Sultan away to his driver and she hates RK and his family. Meanwhile, that Sultan and RK are step brothers will bring a big twist in the story. Why did you choose to do this role? I enjoy doing emotional roles and I am looking forward to it. This role has many shades and I am happy with the show and this new twist. Earlier, in Yahaan Mein Ghar Ghar Kheli, you played the role of a mentally unstable woman. Is your role similar to the one that you will be essaying now? No, that was very different. My character had an accident due to which she loses her memory and behaves like a child. That was a very tough role to enact. We have seen you in a very few films. What kind of film offers do you get? I get many offers, but I only take up the ones that are different and interesting. I have recently done a Malyalam film. I don't go by the length of the role. For instance, in the film, My Name Is Khan, my role was a short one, but it was noticed rather well and it even got me an award. So, I look for the impact of the role, be it TV or films. Which was the last television show that you enjoyed watching? I hardly get to watch television, but I really enjoyed watching shows like Kasauti Zindagi Kay and Smriti Irani's
Virrudh.
Tying an eco-friendly knot
Chhanchhan and Manav's much-awaited wedding is all set to take place with a twist. Unlike the usual taam-jhaam, this will be an eco-friendly wedding. Neither a boisterous banquet, nor a beach is the venue. Chhanchhan and Manav marry in an art gallery. In fact, they will also place a donation box where guests can drop their contributions, which will not be for the newly weds, but will be donated to an orphanage! Sari-clad women and bow-tied men will not do the rounds at this wedding; instead children will ensure that the food is not wasted. Several dustbins will also be monitored by these young bunches to ensure there is no filth around. This wedding is surely something to watch out
for! The secret ingredient
The show, Masterchef kitchen ke Superstar that is telecast on Star Plus, has reached its finale week and the top three contestants, including Ripudaman Handa, Doyal Sarangi and Navneet Rastogi are ready for their final challenge. The battle will be tough and the ingredients, a suspense. The top three contestants will face tougher challenges than what they have fought previously. While actor, Shabbir came to show his strong support for Navneet Rastogi, Gurmeet gave a strong hand to Ripudaman Handa and Pratyusha was standing by Doyel's side. The actors chose their favourite contestant and became their main source of strength while they fought it out in one more challenge before the finale. "I am very grateful to Gurmeet for supporting me and appreciating my cooking," said the Ripudaman. "Choosing India's very own Masterchef is not an easy task, it's an important decision and the one who fights hard and proves their mettle by presenting the best dish, will be declared as the true Masterchef Kitchen ka Superstar," says the very charming Judge, Chef Kunal Kapoor. Watch this special episode on June 10 and 11 at 8 pm on Masterchef Kitchen Ke Superstar only on Star Plus. Time on his side

Flying is his passion, the sky a canvas that opens to a new possibility and challenge at the same time. He has read the author Richard Bach a lot. “I haven’t attained the spirituality that he has,” laughs the officer, “but yes I relate to his passion to fly.”
Despite his schedule, his heart takes a flight to pull out some thoughts flying in the air. He brings them down and weaves them beautifully in his Urdu poetry.
Thoughts and ideas do not hit him like a hurricane; they just keep flowing in his head, sometimes as rapids and sometimes as peaceful streams. The net result is seen in the number of words that bind together in the various books that he has written. “Writing is a passion that comes fairly naturally,” adds the officer, who has also written columns in various newspapers and magazines. 
With whatever time she has, Shalini spends it on reading these days. Coming from a literary background, it was natural for her to take up writing. Work left no space for anything, but Shalini kept her passion for writing short stories alive. 
The world of fashion is infinite; there’s a place and space for every name and the ideas grow by the exponent. Gurgaon-based designer Suman Bharti hopped onto the bandwagon, hoping to cash-in on the sea of possibilities and endless permutations that the fashion industry had to offer. “My brand Vintage Goth stands for the values of commitment to comfort, elegance and authenticity. And these are the key points in my mind. Plus my designs are for the woman of today. In the past few years we have seen huge transformation in the women’s apparel segment. Women want to experiment and dress differently,” shares the graduate from Pearl Academy of Fashion, on his brand philosophy during the launch of spring-summer collection.
Trunks were once a necessity for travellers but quickly faded when less expensive and easier to move luggage made its appearance. Since then they have become a great interior decorating accessory. If you have an old trunk or a vintage luggage, use it in the house in creative ways and see the appreciation you get.
Often in times of stress behavioural patterns which are deeply imbedded in our psyche come up to the surface and we start acting and reacting accordingly. Many a time situations at home or at work make you feel uncomfortable but you take no action to change it. You find the resentment building up and this is reflected in your behaviour. You could actually become unreasonably angry or intolerant of other people's behaviour.

The collection on offer include Lego inspired mug, octopus surprise mug, scary shark mug and crab mug. With Lego inspired mug, drink your coffee and build something too. The octopus and shark mug looks like a harmless mug made of gleaming white porcelain but inside waits a scary shock to help you wake yourself up. :
The summer hue
Bipasha Basu is starring in yet another Vikram Bhatt film, Creature 3D. The film is going to be the Bollywood debut of Pakistani model turned actor Imran Abbas. It is currently being shot in
Ooty.
Ayan Mukerji has worked hard for more than a year on Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and the movie has taken a lot out of him. He is more than happy to go away on his much-awaited holiday to Turkey, Barcelona, Montreal and Los Angeles. He is going with his friend Aarti and once he returns, he will go on a holiday with his parents.
Time and tide
Aditya Roy Kapur and Parineeti Chopra will star together in a love story produced by Yash Raj Films and directed by Habib Faisal. They are being paired for the first time. Parineeti is a Yash Raj discovery and a favourite and Aditya's fortunes have turned around after Aashiqui 2 and Yeh Jawaani Hai
Deewani.
Sonam Kapoor charged only Rs 11 to be a part of, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's next film, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. She was really happy while she worked with him in Delhi 6 and was dying to work with him again because he is humane, down-to-earth and well-mannered. This film will give her a chance to showcase her acting skills and is gathering a positive buzz.
One after the other
The sequel of Namastey London is totally on and Akshay Kumar's birthday gift to Vipul Shah is agreeing to be a part of the hit movie. The leading lady for the movie is yet to be finalised and this will be Akshay and Vipul's seventh film together in twelve years. Himesh Reshammiya is likely to be the music director.
Though Vatsal Seth tried his luck in films, but nothing great came out of it. Now the buzz is that television producers have started showing a keen interest in him. He has been approached for Cinevistaas' next show that will be telecast on Star Plus and even Shrishti Arya's show that will be telecast on Sony. He stands a chance to be chosen to play the male lead in one of the shows.
Nearing its end
