Hot new wheels for 2016
Those days are gone when small engines spelled doom for power hungry petrolheads. Turbo-charging is a common technical sucker-punch these days with small cars offering power outputs of much larger engines.

Many of us spend hours here, flopped on cushions with a book on weekends, or whispering our woes in a friend's ear. With a steaming cup of aromatic coffee resting within easy reach, placed on none other than a favourite coffee or side table, we make the best out of our lazy Fridays.

The sisterhood of sartorial spirit!
Life, with all its twists and turns, is not easy, and looking good and feeling fabulous is not either. Knowing what works best for me is great, but sometimes too much of a good thing can be not so good.

A tasty retreat
I am such a gloomy Gus when it comes to celebrating days meant only for vendible gains. I, quite honestly speaking, see no reason to hail Valentine's Day, Mother's or Father's Day; even getting a stale rose on International Women's Day plays on my nerves.

Better with butter
Unadulterated butter packs a bunch of nutrients like protein, 'good' fats and a host of vitamins, including A, D, K and B12. It also adds a taste of richness to almost all dishes, and the smell of butter also boosts the appeal of the dish served.

Packed lunches
Although it is very tempting to have Fakhruddin's biryani or KFC’s chicken fry every day for lunch, it is surely taxing on the stomach. When any food item is deep fried, the quality of the item becomes less healthy and multiplies in caloric density. Most of the delicious food that we can ever think of either have too much oil in them or too much sugar! So, does it mean that we must have dull and drab food everyday and keep away the delicacies for special occasions? Not necessarily!
