There is no denying that 2013 has been a whirlwind of a year for everyone’s favourite Bollywood starlet Deepika Padukone, who has wowed fans the world over with her acting prowess in recent films like Race 2, Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani and Chennai Express. Riding high on the immense success enjoyed by each, Padukone is truly at the peak of her career currently. She will now be sharing screen space with Ranvir Singh in the upcoming Raam-Leela, a Gujarati adaptation of Shakespeare’s epic Romeo and Juliet, set in violent Gujarat. In true Sanjay Leela Bhansali fashion (we all remember Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Black and Devdas, right?), Raam-Leela boasts of extensive sets, elaborate song and dance sequences and a palpable chemistry between the two lead actors. Releasing on November 15th, Raam-Leela promises to be an action-packed romantic saga so hit the theatres to catch this one for sure.
Do Weekly Detox
Have you been feeling unhealthy, tired or just generally low these days? It is an increasingly common complaint that we hear about ever so often at Ms T and so, decided to dedicate this space to helping you reset. How, you ask? With a good, weekly detox cleanse. Not only are many of us eating more than we should, the food that we do eat had often lost much of its nutrients in the cooking process and is packed with fat, oil and preservatives which affect our bodies adversely. A detox diet serves as a short-term cleanse of your body to rid you of the toxins that have been consumed and also gives plenty of additional nutrients which speed up their elimination from your body. Therefore, it is imperative for you to indulge yourself in a good detox at least once or twice a week to keep yourselves healthy from the inside. There are plenty of detox plans and ideas around ( you can make detox salads or smoothies and shakes as well) which are both quick and easy to do, so long as the fruits and vegetables you use are all fresh and natural. We cannot stress the benefits of a weekly detox enough so search for a plan that suits you, keep at it for a few weeks and we promise, you will see a brand new you!
Read Bridget Jones — Mad about the Boy:
Ladies, it is time for us to indulge ourselves and soak up that refreshing winter sunshine with a good book. Actually, make that a great book cause Bridget Jones — Mad about the Boy (MATB) is just that. When Helen Fielding first published Bridget Jones’ Diary, charting the life of the young, single and very much ready to mingle Bridget as she went from one romantic calamity to the other, Helen revolutionised the world of chick-lit, following up with an equally successful sequel called The Edge of Reason. The two books have even been translated into major blockbuster films starring the adorable Renee Zellweger as Bridget. Now, after making us wait for more than a decade, Helen is back to tickle our funny bones with MATB, her third instalment in the Bridget Jones trilogy. In MATB, we see a whole new phase of recentlywidowed, 51-year-old Bridget’s life in contemporary London, including the challenges of aging, social-networking problems and even fitting into skinny jeans. Bridget is still maintaining her diary, smoking uncontrollably, looking for love and is as hapless and prone to social disasters as ever. But we aren’t complaining because her shortcomings make for an uproariously funny read. MATB has already hit local bookstores so make sure you invest in your very own copy before they sell out.
