Get your Dose of Nutrients the Chutney Way! :D

Deepika
The most underestimated food item in our country is the chutney. I love chutneys and I have to have some in atleast one meal a day. Remember the usual dialogue dieticians and health conscious people give you? “Fill your plate with colourful fruits and vegetables! Have 5-6 servings and 5-6 fruits/vegetables a day.. blah.. blah.. blah.. ” Now for a lazy (Ive confessed this too many times and I’m not ashamed of it! :P) soul like me it is a nightmare to cut vegetables everyday and fill my plate with a variety of vegetables!

Some don’ts for Valentine’s Day

Kirthi Jayakumar
 
We concede: the hype is all that makes it fantastic. For the mature couple, everyday is Valentine’s Day – February 14 is just one special day on which the rest of the world acknowledges it. For those that are new to the dating deal, or are still in the initial few weeks/days of a relationship, that may not be the case.
Wherever you are on the relationship scale, here are some important points to remember when it comes to V-Day!
 
Don’t assume that your partner feels exactly as you feel about Valentine’s Day!
It’s possible that your partner isn’t as ecstatic about the day as you are, or perhaps, is doubly excited in comparison with you. At any rate, don’t be demanding of an equitable perspective on the day, because he is him, and you are you!
 
Don’t get too caught up and forget the date!
It doesn’t matter even if you think it’s just another date on the calendar – do sit up and take notice of the day, and get caught up in the frenzy sometimes – it only comes once a year, anyway!

The Hairy Adventures of Brad Pitt

Kirthi Jayakumar
Brad Pitt’s love life has been the cynosure of all eyes – from Indiana to India. But what we found most interesting was how he changed his hairstyles, to match that of the girl he was dating at each point. Statistically, 90% of his relationships have affected his hairstyles – as he models his own entirely as a masculine version of his girlfriend at the relevant time.
While sometimes, he’s looked great, some other times, the attempt has backfired. Here’s a look down that lane.
