This Valentine’s make an everlasting impression with eternal platinum



Valentine’s Day is that occasion when you express true love to someone special and what better way to celebrate it than by gifting precious platinum jewelry that will last for a lifetime. The plethora of options helps you to pick the right one which best symbolises your love for your partner.


Platinum jewellery defines today’s generation which is modern yet has a touch of traditionalism. The uniqueness of the design makes it the perfect choice for any occasion and one of the best gifting options. There are enough options to choose from for gifting for men and for women. Right from exquisite chain and pendants, to delicate earrings, stunning bracelets or bangles, to rings and love bands for women and elegant and substantive chains, bracelets, rings, cufflinks for men.

Bollywood's golden couple Hrithik and Sussanne Roshan have ended their marriage. Sources cite several reasons why a reconciliation does not seem possible, one of which is Sussanne's terminal boredom with her husband who, she felt, had become obsessed with his career and his undeniable good looks. The wife felt neglected. Rumours of an open marriage has been dodging the couple for some time with names of other equally beautiful people like Barbara Mori and Arjun Rampal adding to a sizzling narrative of a marriage unraveling.

The final nail comes in the form of a rather mundane familial trouble: saas-bahu friction. Friends of the couple close to the development told Mumbai Mirror that Sussanne wanted Hrithik to move out of the family home Palazzio in Juhu but the star was not keen to leave his parents and his divorced sister.


Not that Sussanne had to share a small flat with caviling in-laws. The couple had their own independent floor but the escalating tensions between the bahu and the in-laws would not be contained in that building, and culminated with a blazing row between Sussane and Pinky Mum-in-law Roshan some days ago leading to this denouncement.

I REPRESENT A BILLION HOPES: GURLEEN GREWAL


Growing up as an Army kid was an adventure for Gurleen Grewal, who packed her bags every three years to start life afresh in a new city. As she gets ready to leave for Tokyo for the Miss International 2013 pageant on December 17, she can't help but draw parallels between the two. "I am used to going to new places and making friends within days. All that I've learnt till now will help me when I meet girls from other countries at the pageant. Tokyo is the land of the rising sun. I hope my destiny also rises there," she says.

Since her crowning, Gurleen has worked hard for the pageant. "Fitness was something I've put my soul into. It's so critical to be well groomed, so I gave it everything possible." For the talent round, she will perform a fusion of Kathak and western dance to the song In Aankhon Ki Masti Mein, choreographed by Shiamak Davar. For the finale, she will wear a glamorous gown by Falguni and Shane Peacock.

Like any other girl her age, Gurleen says she didn't have a goal when she participated in the pageant. She had finished her bachelor's in commerce, when she decided to test fate. "I didn't have a goal back then. But when I was crowned, I soon transitioned from a girl at 19 to a woman at 20. I have many more responsibilities now. I am no longer Gurleen, but a representative of India. If I win, India will be crowned. I represent a billion hopes and I hope to fulfill those," she concludes.

Think of a hawker carrying a belly tray at a busy traffic junction, a bus station or in a cricket stadium and peddling not sweets and snacks, but female contraceptives! India may not be ready for it now, but the innovative concept has already sparked huge interest in a number of countries, Beatrijs Janssen, a healthcare expert from the Netherlands, says. "I have already demonstrated it for promotion at conferences in several countries," Janssen says. Being a woman, she knows the importance of female condoms to ward off not just unwanted pregnancies, but also the menace of deadly HIV/AIDS.

Unsurprisingly, she has become the cynosure of hundreds of healthcare experts gathered at the ongoing first Global Health Conference on Social Marketing and Social Franchising, organised by HLFPPT(Hindustan Latex Family Planning Promotion Trust), a not-for-profit trust promoted by the mini-Ratna public sector enterprise HLL Lifecare Ltd, here. Janssen is the Communication Advisor to Universal Access to Female Condoms (UAFC), a joint programme launched in 2009 by four organisations (Oxfam Novib, Rutgers WPF, i+solutions and the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs) with the aim of making female condoms accessible and affordable for all. The Dutch health activist is serious about popularising the novel concept. To promote the idea and create awareness, she, along with other activists, has been working around the globe for the last four month, carrying the belly tray laden with a range of female condoms. India can take pride in the fact that the contraceptives on the tray include the ones manufactured by HLL Lifecare Ltd. "I am not sure about India, but it can soon be a reality as a marketing tool and a way of selling condoms. We have to modify these trays as per the preferences of the local people," Janssen says. "We thought about this idea, just like the system of selling goodies at football stands. The prime focus is to have mobility, instead of a stationary booth to sell condoms. Another key focus is to remove inhibitions about contraceptives. I understand that in India also, people are reluctant to ask for a contraceptive in a drug store." At present, the belly tray is being used for promotions. "But we are also thinking of making it a full-fledged tool to sell condoms at least in countries like Nigeria, Cameroon and Mozambique where we are actively working," she says. Under the UAFC, various organisations have already tried ingenious tools for marketing condoms. They have inducted female hair dressers to sell the condoms as African women spend lot of time for their hair-do. "There is no barrier of communication about condoms in a female beauty parlour," she says.

Most of us know about the beauty benefits of honey, but did you know that honey is an effective ingredient for weight loss? According to research, you could drop a dress size in about three weeks, simply by taking a spoonful of honey before bed. Sounds too good to be true? Here's why honey works well for weight loss.

What is the honey diet? 

Founder of the honey diet, Mike McInnes, discovered that athletes who ate foods rich in fructose such as honey burnt a lot more fats and had increased stamina levels as well. Honey acts as a fuel to make the liver produce glucose. This glucose keeps the brain sugar levels high and forces it to release fat burning hormones.

To benefit from the honey diet, simply replace your sugar intake with honey, throughout the day. In addition to that you should consume three spoonfuls of honey with hot water every night before bed. Combine this with an exercise regime (try and exercise three times a week) and you will notice a sizeable drop in your weight. The study showed that the mechanism in the brain that caused the sugar craving could be shut down completely with this honey routine.

How it works?

According to McInnes, most of us struggle to lose weight because we consume too much sugar and processed food. When we consume honey before bed, the body begins to burn more fat during those early hours of sleep. When you go a step further and replace all refined sugar from your diet with honey, you rebalance the brain signal that compels you to consume more sweet stuff. The results noticed from the honey diet have been remarkable. But remember to keep these points in mind:

Replace all sugar with honey: Cut out sugar from your diet. This means you will also have to give up on artificial sweeteners. Use honey in your tea, coffee and cereal instead of refined sugar. Keep a check on what you cook too, so that you don't use sugar in there either.

Skip junk food: Junk foods are processed food that contains empty calories. To fully benefit from the honey diet, stop eating junk food.

Opt for unrefined carbs: Refined white flour in white pasta and white rice may cause a spike in blood sugar levels. Opt for wholemeal flour instead as they are good for digestion and will keep you fuller for a longer time.

Consume Proteins: Keep your proteins lean but make sure you consume proteins with every meal as it will keep you full and also avoid a blood sugar rise that leads to cravings. Be careful with your fruits: Fruits are a convenient option while dieting but remember that most fruits are high in sugar levels and can hamper your honey diet. Either reduce your fruit intake or opt for low-carb fruits like berries and rhubarb. No potatoes: Any form of potato can cause your body's insulin level to rise. The honey diet requires you to avoid eating potatoes.

A simple aerobic walking program is as effective as clinical therapy in treating lower back pain, a new study suggests.

Dr. Michal Katz-Leurer of Tel Aviv University's Stanley Steyer School of Health Professions at the Sackler Faculty of Medicine and her colleague Ilana Shnayderman, a graduate student at the Department of Physical Therapy and a practicing physiotherapist at Maccabi Health Care, say that their treatment option - that includes walking two to three times a week for a period of 20 to 40 minutes - fits easily into a daily routine and allows those with back pain to be more responsible for their own health. According to Dr. Katz-Leurer, research has shown that when people walk actively, abdominal and back muscles work in much the same way as when they complete exercises that target these areas.

And unlike muscle strengthening programs, which often call for specific equipment and can involve exercises that require expert supervision, walking is a simple activity that can be done alone. For the study, the researchers recruited 52 patients with lower back pain to participate in a randomized control trial. Through questionnaires, they were initially assessed for pain levels, feelings of disability, and avoidance of daily activities, as well as muscle and walking endurance. Then, half of the participants completed a typical clinic-based muscle strengthening program, with two to three exercise sessions a week for six weeks. The other half completed a six-week aerobic walking program, walking two to three times weekly. Participants started with 20 minutes of walking, then progressed to 40 minutes as their endurance improved.

Results showed that both groups improved significantly in all areas of assessment, demonstrating that the walking program was "as effective as treatment that could have been received in the clinic," says Dr. Katz-Leurer. Dr. Katz-Leurer says that the walking program has the additional advantage of encouraging patients to follow a healthier lifestyle overall. In terms of physical fitness, those in the walking group were able to walk an average of 0.05 miles farther during a six-minute walking test at the end of the program compared to the pre-program assessments. She also notes that that regularly active people are less likely to suffer typical aches and pains over their lifetime. Walking, a low-impact activity, also lowers blood pressure, boosts brain and immune system functioning, and reduces stress, she says.

The study has been published in the journal Clinical Rehabilitation.

After their kin were murdered, homes burnt and women raped before their eyes during the recent communal clashes, thousands of people fled to the safety of makeshift camps in the worst-hit Muzaffarnagar and Shamli districts of Uttar Pradesh. One such camp in Malakpur, 18 kms from Shamli, housed the largest number of such displaced persons until recently. Death has visited this camp almost on a daily basis since. It witnessed the maximum (28) number of deaths in the past one month, 25 of them infants, all under a month old.
Murshida Khatoon, 25, one of many grieving mothers in the camp lost her 20-day-old baby a week ago.
A plastic tent surrounded by filth and human excreta is now her home and the family sleeps on dried grass, without a quilt to protect her other children from cold weather.

“We got a quilt after I lost my child,” said Khatoon. “But what is one quilt for a family of seven?” Another riot survivor, Dilshana Begum, whose five-month-old baby died at the camp, said, “We took loans and sold our motorcycle to collect Rs. 20,000 to pay for the hospital expenses. But even after spending every penny we had, we couldn't save our child.” Stories of deep despair can be heard at other camps. Three other camps— Khurban, Badheri Khurd and Barnabi — have witnessed eight deaths, which include four children aged less than 30 days. Too afraid to take the dead back to the villages that were once home, hurried burials are carried out in graveyards adjacent to the camps. “Newborns and old people are dying of cold. There is a severe lack of warm clothes and toilet facilities in the camps which makes the situation very grim. The last time a medical officer visited any of these camps to treat the inmates was almost a month ago,” says Chaudhary Gulshad, a member of a local committee running the camp.


A number of deaths have been reported from Muzaffarnagar, the epicentre of the bloody clashes. Shahpur and Basi Kalan camps have seen four deaths while Loi, another camp with a large number of displaced people, has witnessed 12 deaths, the last one a day ago. Mohammad Shaqir and his wife, Sabira, rushed to a nearby health centre around midnight after their eight-month-old kid woke up screaming and wheezing. The doctor told them that the boy needs to be administered oxygen, a facility they didn’t have. So, the couple rushed to another hospital. “While we looked for a hospital, I realised that he had stopped breathing,” recalls Shaqir.

“He died in my arms.” Shamli additional district magistrate Pratap Singh has no information of the deaths in the camps in Shamli. Muzaffarnagar ADM Indermani Tripathi said that 11 deaths have taken place in the Loi camp. Clearly unaware of the deaths in the camps, Muzaffarnagar chief medical officer SK Tyagi said only “one or two deaths have taken place” in the camps in the district and he has been looking after medical measures for the camps’ inmates. Rehana Adib, whose organisation Astitva has been involved in the relief work, said many more deaths have gone unreported because the camps lack proper supervision by health officials. More than 60 people died in the riots in Muzaffarnagar and neighbouring districts of Shamli and Meerut, but now, the humanitarian crisis unfolding in these camps has claimed an equal number of lives. Three months after the riots, about 18,000 people are still huddled in camps, 4,500 in the Malakpur camp alone. More than 40,000 people were displaced by the riots.

These three reports, among several others that go unnoticed, have brought to the surface the basic problem in the country: those who are in powerful positions — the supposed crusaders of justice — are found violating the law and committing the most heinous of crimes. Yes, the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, which was implemented in April, does promise to protect women, but how can women protect themselves before taking the issue to court?

Law-point
Former assistant solicitor general of India, PS Dinesh Kumar, says, "At the moment, the only functional law for sexual harassment is the Vishaka Guidelines." It states that every institution must have a sexual harassment committee with five members, of which three members should be women, including the chairperson. Based on an oral or written complaint, the committee is supposed to question the accused after examining the witness's accounts, if any, and/or, other evidences provided by the complainant. If the person is found guilty, depending on the degree of harassment, suitable action must be taken.

Having handled many cases of sexual harassment in various institutions, Dinesh adds, "What we ignore is that men too are harassed. I've seen several cases where women, to avenge professional disagreements, have lodged complaints of sexual harassment against righteous men. This is equally disheartening." Suggesting a common solution, he says, "Irrespective of the complainant's gender, we must give everyone a fair hearing, look at the issue objectively and punish severely only after we're sure of all the facts."

Practical issues
A profession where sexual abuse is rampant is the film industry. Actress Nikesha Patel says, "The industry is extremely male dominated and that becomes difficult at times. During the shoot of one of my films, the director asked me to wear an extremely deep-neck blouse. Neither my role nor the plot required it as it was about a traditional village girl, but the director insisted I expose or drop out of the film. Uncomfortable with this request of his, I decided to drop out, but since I was firm about my decision, they gave up and agreed to do the film without any vulgarity. However, many actresses agree to such conditions as they fear losing out on opportunities."

Several women, who face sexual abuse at work, prefer to stay quiet in order to avoid further harassment or getting unwanted attention.

Aarti Nagdeo, an advertising professional, says, "One of my colleagues, who was not even a close friend, commented on my dressing sense saying I should wear things that make me look luscious. I was furious, but ignored this because I did not want to court any trouble at work. But another time I told a colleague, who pinched me every day while greeting me, that it hurt me and asked him not to do it again. I had to say it indirectly in order to avoid straining our professional relationship."

Taking the leap
Malayalam actress Shwetha Menon recently accused the Congress MP Peethambara Kurup of grabbing her with sexual intention. However, the actress did not take the case forward and suddenly kept mum about the whole incident. "Women like her need to speak up and make a difference. I don't understand why she suddenly decided to become quiet about the whole thing," says actress Malavika Avinash.

Stressing on the importance of voicing out such issues, the actress adds, "Women who have been sexually harassed should speak up as it will make a lot more people aware and gather voices of support. All that is required is to make peers, seniors in the institution and friends aware of such instances so that action can be taken against the criminal, collectively."

Echoing Malavika's thoughts is actress and mother Priyanka Upendra. "Women must make their problems known to others. If they suffer in silence, they're only encouraging such men to continue with their crime. In order to end one's own suffering and ensure the wrongdoer realizes it to be an offence, it's important to bring the issue to light."

Organizational measures
Sure, women have to muster up the courage to speak out against the crime, but on a more organizational level, the right foundation must be laid for a safe and secure work environment. Sexuality activist Shaibya Saldanha says, "The 2013 act for sexual harassment has clearly specified every function and requirement the committee is supposed carry out, which is great. However, the organizations should ensure the committee is set up according to the act much earlier and not when a case crops up." She adds, "Also, there must be an orientation session for men and women on what constitutes sexual harassment. Once the committee is established, with trustworthy people on the panel, these must be periodic discussions on gender issues. Since the process of lodging a complaint might be scary for many women, the members of the committee must make themselves approachable to the employees at all times and talk to them about their issues before starting the formal procedure."
