Greetings Readers!

Welcome to the issue that is as colourful as the events covered in it. Be it food or football, Navratri or Halloween, Comicon or Sensation, our magazine has it all! Out of them all, my personal favourite is... any guesses? Well yes, it has to be Football, doesn’t it? With the football fever taking over the city, what better a time could there be for readers to read and know about the various spots in the city where one can go and play the sport.

With Navratri and Comicon around the corner, there is a buzz in Hyderabad. On one hand the city is preparing ‘pandals’ and setting up ‘Dandiya’ centres for the nine day festival, while on the other hand it is gearing up to witness the innumerable characters that the youngsters are going to bring up this Comicon.

“I’ve never been in love but I imagine it’s similar to the feeling you get when you see the waiter arriving with your food.” But what about desserts? Worry not, we’ve got you covered. Go on, turn the pages and read about the best Indian desserts with a western flavour to them.

We also have something in store for our little friends with paws. Dog lovers- brace yourselves to have an amazing time reading about India’s first Dog Park that has been opened in our very own city! Well, it’s finally time to lay out the welcome mat for our own exclusive doggie retreat.

If you’re reading this then I hope something good happens to you today!

It’s not your typical beauty Magazine, but it’s good for the woman who wants a healthy variety of pop culture, beauty tips, and social issues.

I personally like the section in which one gets to know about all the newly opened restaurants and eating joints in Hyderabad. This is the only magazine that I look forward to getting every month, and the only one I would probably ever consider subscribing too.

Baguette Salads Every healthy person wishes for an exclusive, well equipped salad bar where they can binge on some yummy, yet tasty veggies, without guilt! Baguette Salads is one such place where everything looks and feels very homely, but try as you may, you might not be able to replicate this at home. You will want to revisit the restaurant again and again. It takes you around the globe with their various categories of salads like New York, South Beach, California, Tokyo, Malibu Beach, Arctic and so many more. Sounds exotic right? It tastes even better! Our recommendation would be to try South Beach: with chipotle dressing, black beans, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, romaine and corn wrapped or tossed in a bowl, pita pocket or a Baguette (a long narrow French loaf, but here filled with salad of your choice). Add some crunch in your life and try the Tex-Mex which includes- romaine, cheddar cheese, jalapenos topped with tortilla chips and dressed in Classic Caesar’s dressing.

We also tried the California in a Baguette- currants, tomatoes, arcadian blend and pumpkin seeds were a great combination when filled inside the baguette. If you are a fruit salad person, they have a fruit bowl called Crazy Fruit and Nuts too, which is loaded with grapes, strawberries, green apples, oranges, walnuts, black currants and topped with a honey mustard dressing! You have the freedom to pick and customise your own bowl the way you like it. Healthy smoothies are also available here to sip along while you go green.

Dirty Burgers Dirty Burgers has been around in Hyderabad for a while now. They make no tall claims of serving some of the best burgers in the area or city for that matter, but they really should. With 18 burger options, it comes with a spice chart from High- Med- Low sauce, in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options.

We were invited to the latest addition of their outlet in jubilee Hills, and we were in for a treat. The place, the monsoon showers and ‘Dirty Burgers’ was great. Their 911 burgers know how to hit the spot. Every time you bite in one of their burgers you will know exactly how juicy and tasty they are. While they may look just like your standard burgers, their specialty is customization, be it the sauce, patty or fries, just say it and it will be served. Also, they serve gluten free buns, making it even better and guilt free to indulge. They also have a lot of flavors in fries, but one that stands out is gravy chicken fries, that can be like a complete meal in itself.

Don’t forget to try their choco chip pancakes, they are fluffy and topped with oodles of chocolate chips and red velvet toast, whipped cream and flavorful.

The interiors have a very rustic and edgy vibe, good place for football lovers, for obvious reasons and also sitcom fans as the place plans to hold regular screenings and marathons and has a feel-good vibe.

Go with a big appetite and order the burgers, fries, and the desserts too. Gluttony is overrated anyway!

Bolt Cold Brew Bolt Cold Brew was started by Vishaka and Anisha Shah along with Jatin Gujrati.

Their passion for coffee led them to the plantations of Chikamaglur and Araku in search of great coffee. On these trips, they fell in love with the subtle art of making coffee and differentiating between nuances of flavour and aroma in different origins of coffee. So much so that they started roasting their coffee at home and one of the founders spent a week at Coffee Board of India, to learn and get trained in the coffee business from the experts. Eventually, they figured they should share their love for coffee with others and that’s when Bolt was born. The idea behind Bolt came when last summer they casually made some cold brew using freshly roasted Arabica beans for their own use. With its first sip they fell in love with its refreshing taste and got similar feedback from friends and family. Vishaka leads the day to day operations of the company. Given her background in pharma studies, she brings a lot of focus on quality control and ensuring world class production standards. Anisha and Jatin are graduates from Indian School of Business and look after marketing, finance, and strategy. They are the first to launch ready-to-drink bottled cold brewed coffee in Hyderabad and probably one of the first in India. Bolt is made in small batches with freshly roasted 100% Arabica beans. It has no added sugar, less than 5 calories per serving and 2X the energy of regular energy drinks. Because of the cold brewed process, it has 70% lower acidity than a hot brewed coffee, making it the perfect refresher. In addition to cold brewed coffee, they also offer Vietnamese Cold Brew (online orders only), Brewsticks, Honey Twigs. They have recently launched a cream and honey version of Bolt as a special menu on Zomato. This one is for customers who prefer milk with their coffee.

All their products are available on www.boltcoldbrew.com, Zomato, Swiggy, and UberEats. Also available at Q-mart, Banjara Hills, Balaji Grand Bazar, Kris Gethin, and X60 CrossFit, Jubilee Hills.

WHATS HAPPENING

Fun with fitness Namrata Purohit, Celebrity Fitness Coach, was in the city to educate and spread awareness about the new fitness craze‘Pilates’ The youngest trained Stott Pilates Instructor in the World, an author, an entrepreneur and the youngest celebrity fitness trainer who has Bollywood coming to her studio to learn Pilates, was in Hyderabad to share her fitness secrets with Young FICCI Ladies Organisation (YFLO) members.

She urged people to start small and then build it up. “Take baby steps and keep

increasing fitness workouts. There are many struggling to be fit; you should focus on having fun with fitness. People cite fitness to be monotonous and stay away from it. But, to avoid that, you keep innovating. There are so many fitness options available to you. It is impossible not to find anything to interest you”, she added

Speaking about her success stories, the Young Pilates expert referred to the transformation of celebs like Karishma, Sonakshi Sinha, who worked really hard to be where they are today and says it is only sheer dedication that will give success.

She announced that she dreams of expanding her Pilates studios to many cities.

“Currently we are spread in seven cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Ahmedabad and Jaipur. We

would like to add four more studios this year. Then we will expand to smaller cities.

Awareness about Pilates is very poor. But it is a miraculous program. Thanks to Pilates, my father could be relieved from his twenty year old backache problem”, she informed. “To avoid eating junk food, always carry a snack in your bag”.

A proud owner of “The Pilates Studio” in Mumbai, which holds the distinction of being the first studio in the world to offer Pilates and Simulated Altitude Training under one roof, Namrata is the only fully certified Barre Instructor in the country. She is also a Certified Boogie Bounce Master Instructor.

“Barre fitness is the latest fitness trend that incorporates yoga, dance, and Pilates.

Boogie Bounce is a fun fitness class that incorporates dance, high energy and lots of fun. It is an exercise program on a mini trampoline (a springboard kind of thing). In this, every muscle in the body is worked, even the facial muscles.

Pilates in layman’s language, which is similar to Yoga, concentrates on strengthening the body as well as mind-body connection.

Pilates is an exercise technique that was invented for injured dancers nearly a century ago by gymnast Joseph Pilates. While Pilates focuses on core strength, toning and body control, the yoga focuses more on flexibility, spirituality and covers a broader range of muscles, such as the hands, wrist, and ankles.

Unlike some forms of exercise, Pilates does not over-develop some parts of the body and neglect others. Pilates training focuses on core strength. It trains the body as an integrated whole. It helps to develop a strong core, flat abdominals, and a stiff back. “ She authored a book ‘The Lady Girl’s Guide to Being Fit”. She is a national level Squash and state level football player in India. She has done her masters in Sports Management, A TEDx speaker, 24 years old Namrata, inspires to be innovative in workouts. She combines Yoga and Pilates to make it more interesting.

Castle Rock

The Stephen King multiverse is the setting for this psychological horror series that takes place in Castle Rock, Maine, which is a location familiar to fans of King’s work. “Castle Rock” explores themes and worlds that unite King’s canon, including the infamous Shawshank Prison. An anonymous phone call lures death-row attorney Henry Deaver back to Castle Rock. He is unsettled by his hometown, but he returns to help a sinister, mostly mute man being kept in a cage underneath Shawshank. Sissy Spacek and Bill Skarsgard, who starred in feature adaptations of King’s “Carrie” and “IT”, respectively, are among the show’s stars.

Bruges

Bruges is a city of West Flanders in the northern part of Belgium. Relatively cosmopolitan and bourgeois given its compact size, it is one of the best preserved pre-motorised cities in Europe and offers the kind of charms rarely available elsewhere. Bruges is a postcard perfect stop if you’re touring Europe.

Cycling in Bruges is the perfect way to discover the historical centre. Once over the encircling canal and inside the city walls, Bruges closes in around you with street after street of charming historic houses and a canal always nearby. In recent years, the city has turned so much towards tourism the locals sometimes complain they are living in Disney-land. The newly cleaned houses should however not confuse you; they are truly centuries old. And if you can get away from the chocolate-shops, you can visit some more quiet areas like St. Anna, and imagine what life in the late middle ages must have been like.

A famous Tollywood actress recently broke up with her boyfriend. With three more big Telugu projects in her hand, she’s already on cloud nine and hoping that she will become that sought after star heroine in the industry. Though she asked everyone to not blame anyone for the breakup, a quirky smile on her manager’s face is telling more truth than his mouth.

LIFESTYLE requires your dedication to be a state winner for which I had to work on my walk, body, makeup, diet. I worked on it for six months rigorously.

I took it up as a challenge, finished my graduation last year and planned on giving it a real shot this year.

The rest is history!

What is the most challenging part about your journey?

Waking up early & giving up the junk (chocolates) Fitness is something that is challenging for all of us. Attaining the body that you desire and learning how to walk in heels was the most challenging part for me, as I never owned a pair of heels before the pageant, since I was always the tall kid. I had to train hard to get used to heels. All these challenges helped me become a better version of myself.

F

ootball is undoubtedly one of the most popular sport on this planet.

More than 200 countries have taken up the beautiful game over the years and its fan following is widespread. India, more specifically Hyderabad is no exception to this theory, as the several thousands of Indians follow and support the game ardently.

Football is being played in India for more than 100 years now. Asia’s oldest football club Mohun Bagan was founded in Kolkata in 1889, much before the emergence of Premier League giants Liverpool FC. Durand Cup which is played in India was started in the year 1888.

It is the oldest football competition in Asia and the third oldest tournament in the world after FA Cup and Scottish Cup. Every four years just like any other footballing nation, Indians actively watch the FIFA World Cup and a huge craze is created among the Indian masses regarding the tournament, irrespective of our participation.

Even though the Indian youth mostly focuses on international club football, Indian football too is slowly gaining popularity among the masses.

The craze has caught up with city players, especially with so many grounds offering professional training and amenities. We have listed some of the most known football grounds where you play, watch, learn and even host events.

The feeling of watching the club you support brings so much anticipation whether they will make or break your day. The last minute goals, the majestic skills and the fans pure joy really tugs at your heart strings. No other sport I believe can bring out such similar intensity.

The reason I love football so much is that it is a very simple, blank canvas. The players are afforded maximum freedom to perform the very simple task of getting a ball into a net. But so many amazing players and managers have painted that canvas in so many different ways. Through this simple game, there have been towns and boroughs and portions of cities that now identify themselves based on their local club. People all over the world fall in love with a club, and develop communities and friendships purely based on their loyalty to the sport and their team.

Dribble Football Unlike a decade back, having open spaces to play your favorite sport has now become a luxury for most. A luxury only a privileged few can afford. With rising costs of space and intense urbanization, the need for open spaces and playgrounds seems to have lost its priority. Furthermore, technology has taken over the world of sports with more and more children and teenagers relying on online and virtual gaming, thus missing out on the importance of physical activity coupled with the benefits of fresh air for all-round development. The team at Dribble football, as young adults, understand the need of the hour and would like to gift the next generation the joys that they had once enjoyed. Dribble aims at bridging this need-gap by providing an open space for children, teenagers and the youth to indulge in their favorite sport of Football. Dribble Football is the closest one will get to a stadium experience, which will encourage the youth to move out of confined spaces and play in the open. It is India’s premiere 5-a-side football operator, FIFA certified, floodlit, synthetic grass fields with over 1,20,000 dribblers in their active database and is also registered for corporate and college tournament.

FASHION

Shalika Sharma is a science graduate, but her passion for Fashion got her to study at London College of Fashion. From there on, there was no looking back. Currently she is working as the Head of Retail and Wardrobe Consultancy at Tailorman.

Tell us about yourself how did you get into wardrobe styling/styling concierge?

I come with a versatile experience of over a decade, with international expertise in Fashion Marketing, Commercial Styling and Wardrobe Consultancy.

I also have a dedicated history of styling eminent personalities such as Saif Ali Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, Sonam Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Aditya Roy Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Royal Family of the UAE, and many HNI’s across India and internationally.

How has fashion evolved from earlier days to now, if someone wants to hire a fashion consultant to style an individual?

Individual styling is an everyday saga that requires a detailed analysis of a person’s lifestyle.

Hence as a Wardrobe Consultant I like to focus on various aspects of my clients’ personality and preferences instead of just styling them. Gone are the days when stylists used to style the clients based on latest trends and forecasts. But now, it has become more of a personalised affair where catering to a client’s need is imperative than blindly following ongoing fashion trends.

What’s the procedure if one needs wardrobe styling and what role does the stylist play?

As a wardrobe consultant, my foremost duty is to address the concerns of the clients. A lot of people, by and large, have complexes about their own bodies and resist sharing those issues. Hence, we come into picture by offering them a detailed solution for their regular and occasional wear and help them feel good about themselves.

Having such a consultant by your side really helps to minimize confusions while shopping for yourself or others. Hence, less confusions, lead to better time management and that ultimately leads to having a great Wardrobe.

What’s in trend for men’s fashion?

Must haves – White Dress Shirt, Blue Jeans, Black Trousers, Understated Blazer and a classic navy blue suit in wool with a regular notch lapel.

Trending – Printed ( checks / stripe / Fun print ) Suits , Solid bright socks, Quirky cufflinks and some CONFIDENCE. Since you head the wardrobe consulting wing at Tailorman, how do you think the concept of custom tailoring is branching out?

Well, this concept started back in the 18th century in Britain and has now traversed to various new territories, India being one of them. Concept of customisation was a signature style of royalty in the early Indian era, that has only grown to be famous in various verticals, primarily in lifestyle. Hence, Customisation and personalisation are two sides of one coin. Tailoring is exactly the same. We construct garments customised to your personal preference and body type. Something like this is an evergreen concept that can never diminish.

What is the price involved when someone is looking to hire a wardrobe consultant?

The price starts from Rs 5000 onwards and it varies depending on the client requirements.

Fashion week is here with newer trends to get hooked on to! Known for its seduction and glamour, this is always one hell of an event, taking place in Milan, Italy!

The city always looks forward to taking inspiration from the trends that are born on this ramp!

The spring/summer event which is held during the months of September/October each year is going on right now and has a huge show of display with the likes of your favourite celebs donning their very best at the Milan Fashion week. Milan fashion week began in late summer heat with the remnants of Hurricane Florence disrupting some flights. With a ton of drama doing the rounds as usual and Gucci absent from the September schedule, the floor is open for the remaining designers to make a mark. But we’re all eyes for the best dressed celebrities who ensured a large number of turned heads and awestruck gazes.

40 OCTOBER, 2018 - TULIP

Here are some of the trendiest looks worn by celebrities this Spring Collection

SONAM KAPOOR

Sonam Kapoor and her ties with the fashion industry go a long-long way. A frequent guest at the Big four fashion weeks, this time she waltzed out of her car with an arm-candy in the form of her newlywed husband, Anand Ahuja, for the Milan Fashion week. This gorgeous couple turned heads, what with the risquĂŠ ensemble donned by Sonam. A grey maxi dress with a plunging neckline, she paired it up with a blazer that added an extra edge to the entire outfit that she carried with svelte confidence.

Classic round sunnies and a touch of red lipstick, she looked ravishing, hand in arm with Anand, who looked quite dapper himself, in a matching grey suit and was all eyes for Sonam! They looked like they were right out of an old classic Hollywood movie. So dreamy!

FASHION

CARDI B

Following their infamous showdown during New York Fashion Week, Cardi B arrived at Milan Fashion week just three days after Nicki Minaj, throwing subliminal shade in her choice of outfit, which, as one can only assume, reminds us uncannily of Nicki herself!

For the Dolce & Gabbana show, Cardi stood out with an unforgettable look of headto-toe leopard, including a leopard print trench, blouse, boots, and some fur-rimmed glasses. Cardi said the outfit was an ode to The Nanny actress Fran Drescher who can carry off certain quirky looks with enviable ease. Cardi also went on a classic, highlyentertaining rant en route to the show on her social media. American rapper, Cardi B has turned Milan Fashion Week into her own concert. From donning Dolce&Gabanna head to toe to pulling off purple plush, Cardi stays winning. She’s a total fashion slayer, not your regular mama!

EMILY RATAJKOWSKI

Emily Ratajkowski returned to the runway during Milan Fashion Week.

The brunette walked with aplomb in the Versace spring/summer 2019 show in a black slinky slip with thighhigh slit cinched with a thin belt and accessorized with a gold choker, platform sandals and stockings. When readying for the final evening of Milan Fashion Week, turning to Italy’s reigning la dolce vita icon for inspiration is a foolproof approach. Just look to Emily Ratajkowski whose cultivated abs and legs-for-days were outshone only by a tousled, breezily pinned updo that melded bombshell glamour with a wash of millennial insouciance.The result was a casual interpretation of one of meticulous, high-drama updos, which was pared down with a simple swirl of pink blush and a sheer, glassy lip.

Finishing out the city’s bustling fashion week, it’s a look that promised to travel well the next morning on the first flight out of Milan—and beyond!

Stylish moms-to-be FASHION

Anyone who’s been pregnant will say that dressing a growing baby bump is no easy task! While pregnant moms-to-be are constantly getting used to their variety of changes and growing bump, they mostly look for clothing options that are comfortable for their constantly changing body. In addition, investing in maternity clothing can be expensive, especially considering the other costs moms have with a baby on the way. It’s stressful having no clothes that fit properly, and even more stressful when mom’s budget doesn’t have the room for updating her wardrobe. Plus, considering that mom will only be pregnant for a period of nine months, she doesn’t want to spend a fortune on clothing she may not even be able to wear for long.

With all this in mind, dressing a baby bump doesn’t have to be a difficult task! We’ve rounded up some stylish moms-to-be who confidently carried out the baby bump in style. Just remember- the most important thing is that the mommy feels good, regardless of what she’s wearing! So long as mom feels gorgeous, she’ll look gorgeous too!

Cover up with style

The yoga pants of dresses

Maxi dresses allow moms of young kids to dress up a bit while still being able to sit on the floor and play or bend down to pick up a baby (or spilled food) without showing everything!

Super functional and affordable!

Casual and light.

A dress is perfect for outdoors and makes you look way more put together. It’s basically the yoga pant of dresses.

The fabric lays gently enough to help cover any stubborn areas. Every mom needs one of these!

Feel a little loose after having a kid or two? Throw this camisole under. It is multipurpose. Goes well with see-through items, holds everything together, and allows you to pull-up/pull-down if you’re nursing.

This is a perfect way to flatter your figure since the cami helps overlayed shirts to lay nicer.

Plaid Shirts

Plaid shirts are a staple favorite in most closets.

This is another look that is very classy and it looks great with jeans or leggings.

There are several ways you can wear it: buttoned untucked, buttoned tucked, and unbuttoned with a shirt underneath. Lots of versatility! It is perfect for all of your fall outings!

Ponchos/ Kaftans

This is a really stylish alternative to a heavy and bulky coat. It is such a fashionable way to stay cozy and warm, and this is another piece that covers a multitude of imperfections!

Fashion has always been my greatest passion apart from designing. I also like styling; I like to play around with colours, layers, accessories, style everyday clothes in a brand new way.

Fashion styling is still new and fast growing these days.

I am planning to start my own label and launch it very soon. It is every designers dream to see their collection on the ramp of New York or Milan fashion week. I have similar dreams and want to work really hard for it.

Your personal style statement?

I like experimenting with new trends, keeping in mind the comfort factor. It matters what you wear and if it suits your body type. When you are comfortable, it is easier to carry it off with style and confidence.

For me as a designer, client satisfaction matters the most. I believe people should be happy and satisfied with your work. It is very important to keep a tab of the details on a day to day basis; be it your designs, trends or even work in progress” She adds.

Your inspiration?

I love travelling a lot and when I do, inspiration is everywhere. My last collection was ‘Suhaag the Red”.

I also worked on Mughal inspired art. I also keep in mind the latest trends and try to inculcate it in my work. For example i have used a lot of feathers in my garments recently, keeping in mind the global trend of it. On a more personal note, my inspiration comes from my mom, who has been my strongest and greatest support throughout my journey so far.

In next 10 years; keeping in mind with the launch of my label, my next goal will be to go global and make it available to clients all over the world.

Greatest strength I think my greatest strength is that I am a good listener, have a positive attitude and i love exploring new things.

Rejoice R for Dogs in the city!

Dog owners in the city, rejoice! Now you can stop worrying about the dogs and where can they have their share of fun, without being hesitant! India’s first ever dog park is here, an initiative by GHMC, this park is a mind blowing idea for both humans and dogs to have a great time at. It is a thoughtful project for recreational purposes for dogs.

- By Ishna Rawlani

The Attraction at the Dog Park: Spread over 1.3 acres, the park has been developed at an approximate cost of 1.1 cr. The bone-shaped park covered in paw-friendly artificial grass turf features a walking track, a still-to-be-completed eatery, a Loo CafĂŠ, ramps, two splash puddles in the shape of paws, hoop-jumps, weave posts and other fun obstacle courses.

They brought together landscape designers and pet consultants to place all the required equipments.

There is an in-house vet and dog trainers to maintain protocol and cleanliness.

Free Vaccination is also administered to pets.

48 OCTOBER, 2018 - TULIP

FEATURE

The park also boasts of provisions for a person with disabilities and their dog helpers to exercise and enjoy outdoor activities without the fear of accidents.

According to GHMC Zonal Commissioner D. Harichandana, the park was constructed to provide training for dogs to stay fit. The park is also set up to address all the issues related to dogs.

In an interview, Rajendra Kumar, an official with the Urban Biodiversity Wing of GHMC, said, The park has a dog training centre where certified professionals would train the pets. It also has a dog splash pool and an exclusive dog play area. There is a para-vet clinic where veterinary professionals would administer to the medical needs of the dogs. For regular visitors, there is a separate walkway and benches to relax. Pet parks are common in foreign countries but, in India, we do not

have any such facility and pets are usually not allowed into regular parks. We built the park on a dump yard that was lying barren and the entire set up took around six months to build.

There is an entry ticket fee for both dogs and visitors to the park.

Telangana’s Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister KT Rama Rao tweeted last week. “The first park in India developed to international standards for pets & pet parents & certified by Kennel Club of India.”

Route to the Dog Park: The Dog Park is built in the Kondapur locality of Hyderabad and is easily accessible by road. It is located at a distance of about 15 km from Charminar.

As Hyderabad is well connected to all other major cities and towns by rail, road and air, people from outside the city can also plan a visit to this unusual park which will certainly amaze you. The distance between the park and the Hyderabad airport is 30 km. If you are travelling by train, then you can take a direct cab from Hyderabad railway station to the Dog Park.

Depending on the success of this park, the GHMC has plans to put up one more park in the eastern part of the city, Harichandana said adding that as of now it is an exclusive dog park and they might have a cat corner.

Witches’ Night Out FEATURE

Halloween is popularly known to be that time of the year, when kids of all ages, dress up in their best spooky attire and go trick or treating. But it is also celebrated by adults everywhere because celebration clearly has no age limit.

Certain families across the world, celebrate Halloween in the most resplendent manner, where they come together and decorate their houses with pumpkins and lanterns and organize fun games and costume parties to keep themselves entertained. Halloween is observed every year in a number of countries on October 31 - the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows’ Day, also known as All Saints’ Day. Most of the Halloween traditions originated from the ancient Celtic harvest festivals and emerged through the decades as a Christian holiday where people attend church services and light candles on graves of dead people, but with influences from immigrants’ conventions and a more secure approach, it is now a modern celebration worldwide.

Trick or Treat

The phrase trick-or-treat was first used in America in 1927, with the customs, imported into America by immigrants. Disguising yourself in costumes that concealed your identity, gave way to kids getting away with threatening a trick in return for a treat. After the World War Two, Halloween turned into a widespread occasion that mainly revolved around kids, with suburban areas providing a protected place to youngsters to meander aimlessly. Costumes were gutsy earlier, and were influenced by gothic figures of literature. Kids dressed up as bats or ghouls or maybe something as exotic as an Egyptian Pharaoh or a Mummy. Later costumes were influenced by popular culture and turned out to be more sexualised in the 1970s. A significant number of us have succumbed to a scary Halloween trick or even played the terrible trickster ourselves. From popping out of bushes dressed as zombies or spooking individuals in their sleep as ghosts - the terrifying list of possibilities is endless 50 OCTOBER, 2018 - TULIP

Antonia Walter

Student Halloween, the 2nd most expensive festival after Christmas, is extremely popular amongst kids, where they get an opportunity to trick and treat. The fun and frolic element of Halloween is pretty new. It traces its origins to the ancient Samhain festival celebrated in Ireland.

Samhain is considered the time when the ‘door’ to the other world opens and dead communicates with the earthly beings.

It also traces its roots from All Hallow’s Eve or All Saint’s Eve celebrated in many parts of the world. Basically the dead were remembered and many people believed that as the spirits could wander freely during the period, they can probably inhabit their houses too. Thus, to scare them away, Irish people started placing the carved turnips outside their homes.

This was their way to ward off the evil.

FEATURE

Food

There are a large variety of Halloween treats, like spooky looking cookies, cupcakes, caramel apples which are basically apples dipped into caramel syrup and rolled in nuts occasionally, pumpkin seeds and the list goes on.

One custom that persists in modern Ireland is the preparing of a barmbrack, (Irish: báirín breac), which is a light fruitcake, into which a plain ring, a coin, and different charms are put before preparation. It is said that the individuals who get a ring will find their true romance in the following year.

This is similar to the tradition of king cake at the celebration of Epiphany. On the day of Hallows’ Eve, numerous Western Christian denominations empower abstain from meat, indulging in a variety of veggie food instead. Since in the Northern Hemisphere, Halloween comes in the wake of the yearly apple harvest, candy apples (known as toffee apples outside North America), taffy apples or caramel apples are the main attraction of the season.

Carved Pumpkins

The tradition of carving pumpkins, originates from the Samhain celebrations, where Gaels would cut turnips to avoid spirits and prevent pixies from settling in houses. One of the legends behind the American version of carved pumpkins, called Jack O’Lantern, originated from the folkloric story of Stingy Jack, who tricked the devil into making a promise not to touch his soul when he died. When he actually kicked the bucket, he wasn’t let into Heaven either as he was mean and cruel. Stuck in the dark Netherworld, he asked the Devil for help The Devil tossed him a burning ember which he kept in a turnip. When the Irish immigrants arrived in North America in the 1840s, they couldn’t discover any turnips to cut, as it was their custom, so they utilized the more promptly accessible pumpkin into which they carve scary faces. By the 1920s pumpkin carving was catching on all over America and Halloween was a major occasion for dressing up and going trick-or-treating.

Nitin Thomas

Student Hosting a Halloween party can be a lot of hard work, but it is the most fun way of celebrating Halloween in India. It is super exciting to deck up your house with Halloween decorations like fake cobwebs, jack o lanterns, pumpkins, hanging skeletons and more, planning.

Planning your food and drinks in Halloween style with eateries shaped like monsters, cupcakes oozing out blood-coloured jam, playing eerie music in the background and create a perfect Halloween atmosphere. Your guests are sure to fall in love with the party as they hang around in their scary costumes.

Hidden Beauties of

HYDERABAD One can never get enough of its charm, hustle and the typical beautiful places to visit. But there are certain areas which are undiscovered, beautiful and so picturesque. They are hidden far off and we are here to explore it for people who love to go away from the city.

Mir Alam Tank The tank was named after Mir Alam Bahadur, the Prime Minister of Hyderabad, during Asaf Jah III, Hyderabad’s third Nizam’s reign. Mir Alam Bahadur is believed to have laid the foundation for the tank on July 20, 1804, which was then completed in a period of two years and declared open on June 8, 1806.

It is indeed a treat to watch this engineering marvel, that was built by a French engineering company, comprising 21 semicircular arches for a total area of approximately one mile. It was reportedly planned by Michel Joachim Marie Raymond, the Frenchman to whom Hyderabad’s Raymond Tomb has been dedicated. Telangana Tourism provides boating facilities on the lake, which is operated from the premises of Nehru Zoological Park.

Boating Facility One can choose from a variety of mechanized boats, steering boats 52 OCTOBER, 2018 - TULIP

and speedy boats. With changing time patterns of the day, the lake acquires different hues. Several migratory birds make the precinct their home during different seasons, while the dense vegetation of Nehru Zoological Park on the other side offers a tropical feel.

Mir Alam tank is a testimony to the efforts of Hyderabad’s erstwhile rulers who have used the topography of Deccan plateau to build vast water bodies. The boating facility is popular with tourists where one gets to enjoy the pleasant breeze and a refreshing experience.

The cruise facility is available at an affordable price and the tourism department has introduced modern boats, which are in good condition.

During the peak time of the tank’s utilisation, historians say that the waters of the Mir Alam Tank was so sweet and pure, that people carried them in containers to their home towns.

Shamirpet Lake

FEATURE

Shamirpet Lake is an artificial lake near Hyderabad. It is located approximately 24 kilometers north of Secunderabad, and was built during the Nizam reign. The lake attracts many birds, making it a good birdwatching spot. The Outer Ring Road passes within close proximity to the lake, providing easy access to the many resorts and private dhabas around the lake. Many people frequent the lake for a picnic or a get together. The lake provides an excellent backdrop for the innumerable Tollywood movie scenes which have been shot in and around the area. However, in the recent past, there were many cases of drowning in the lake. Ever since then, many warning boards have been erected by the authorities and the Shamirpet police keeps a watchful eye on the lake. If you’re headed for a long drive, then you should definitely visit the lake.

Jawahar Deer Park Towering trees, an assortment of hued flowers growing everywhere and a wild, cobalt blue lake is what meets your eye once you enter the vicinity of Shamirpet Deer Park. The national park lies 24 kilometers away from Hyderabad. The Shamirpet lake gives a fresh lease of life to the area and its residing animals which is why wildlife frequents this area during summer. Shamirpet Deer Park stretches over a vast land (54 acres) of deciduous forest which gives shelter to a wide array of animals. Famous for being home to the Blackbuck and the Chital deer, this park also abounds in other species of deer in their natural habitat.

Biggest Baobab

The Cave of 40 Theives

This isn’t your regular tree! There is a cave right inside the trunk of this humongous tree, located at Nanakramguda. It is rumored that during the reign of Qutub Shahi rulers, the infamous Ali Baba and his 40 thieves used to hide inside the cave present in the Baobab tree during the day and come out at night to perform their foul activities. There is a small cave between the branches of the tree. You have to climb massive large trunks of 27. 4 meter circumference of the tree that leads you to the opening of the cave in the center of the trunk. Exploring the history of the tree is as exciting as getting in the cave. It is advisable to take some sort of flashlight with you as it is very dark inside the cave.

Saroornagar Lake

From the year of its creation in 1626, the lake remained largely clean until 1956 when Hyderabad expanded.Spread over 99 acres, the lake was restored by the Hyderabad Urban Development Authority in 2003–04 at a cost of 200 million. After the restoration of the lake, migratory birds returned to the lake in big numbers.

In 1626, the lake was created for agricultural and drinking purposes.

The lake has a maximum depth of 6.1 metres. It is one of five major water bodies in Hyderabad. After 1956 when Hyderabad became the state capital of Andhra Pradesh, the city witnessed unprecedented population growth, industrialisation and agriculture using synthetic fertilizers and insecticides.

Inevitably, untreated domestic sewage, solid waste and industrial effluents entered into the catchment area of this lake.

Best Start-ups of the City We list out some life changing saviours for you in this issue.

Here are some cool startup companies of Hyderabad that are helpful and changing the world, one startup at a time.

Banyan Nation Recycling activities in India are driven by market forces which are informal and illegal where they recycle the plastic with unscientific techniques which release high toxic carcinogens and pollute the atmosphere. Many workers in India are still dependent on this informal recycling sector for their living where they get paid less than Rs 200 per day by the kabadiwala.

As there are no proper recycling plants in India, a Hyderabad based startup Banyan Nation has been incubated at T-Hub. Banyan Nation was founded by two youngsters Mani Vajipey and Raj Madangopal from Silicon Valley who focused on building a sustainable business model in recycling plastic which could also provide a solution for the plastic and waste management problem in India.

They found that dishes like Poha, Upma, Idli and Chiwda leave people drooling so they retained the cuisines by changing the ingredients. They bring out the goodness of millets in the form of products like Flakes, Rawa, Porridge and Pops. These products are free from artificial ingredients and are available at affordable prices.

FEATURE

How did the idea of Comic-con come to you?

I had always been a comic book fan, though it was a business need that kind of drove me to try and do a comic con. I used to publish comics and I saw a space for an event like this to come in and that’s how the first ever Comic Con came about.

What are the categories of characters in Comic-con?

Pretty much everything and everyone in pop-culture, be it from comics, movies, television, gaming and more!

Tell us a little in detail about Comic-con?

Comic Con India is a unique event celebrating the illustrated medium, which brings together the whole comics industry and related fields such as Merchandise, Toys, Games, Films and Animation, along with fans of this culture from all age groups. The properties include Annual Indian Comics Convention; Comic Con Express; Mumbai Film and Comic Con, Bangalore Comic Con and Hyderabad Comic Con. What difference can be expected this year?

There is a massive gaming presence, Hyderabad clearly is serious about its gaming and we are delivering on that, be it the ESL India Finale or the AMD Game On. We also plan to have PUBG at the show. Additionally, there is a great line up for guests and a brand new line up of experience zones.

What is the whole motive behind Comic-con?

It’s the one-stop event for celebrating everything in popular culture, basically anything with passionate fans.

What is your inspiration for the same?

I’d like to believe I am like some of the characters from Ready Player One, obsessing about everything in popular culture, picking up on every reference and that’s one of the key reasons I ended up starting Comic Con. In which cities does Comic-con take place?

Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Hyderabad.

How different is it in Hyderabad?

Each city brings its own energy and feel to the show. Hyderabad fans are the most energetic and engaged, we have the most fun at this show. Some of the key differences are the special guests, zones as well as our exhibitors. A lot of experiences are unique to Hyderabad and as I mentioned the fans make it special.

Your future plans with Comic-con?

We hope to take the Comic Con experience to other cities in the future and expand the pop-culture scene.

Your favourite characters?

My all-time favorite character is Superman.

How long does gel paint last?

If a client is going for gel polish, it lasts for 2-3 weeks depending on the growth rate of an individual. To retain gel polish for a longer time, they should avoid trimming, buffing or shaping them post the service. A common problem that clients face is yellowing of the nails because of turmeric, try to avoid it or just remove it using cotton dipped in nail paint remover or rub some hand sanitizer and clean the nail plate to remove turmeric. Every 15-20 days client can change gel polish. There is no need to give a gap in between services.

Extensions Clients should make sure they get refills every 15-20 days depending on their growth for the perfect look. This way you can retain extensions for up to 2-3 months, post which you can get your existing extensions removed and go in for a new set. There are no side effects with nail extensions when refills are done on time.

A Mountain Retreat Naldehra is located at distance of 22 km away from Shimla in Himachal Pradesh. Situated 2,044 meters above sea level, it is known for being one of the best and oldest 18 hole golf courses in the country. Historical facts state that this hill station was discovered by Lord Curzon, a Viceroy of the erstwhile British Raj. Impressed by its beautiful natural surroundings, he decided to make a golf course in this hill station. He also named his daughter Alexendra Naldehra, after the place.

Where to stay: The Chalets Naldehra The Chalets Naldehra is a quiet, secluded and stunning property which is conveniently located away from Shimla.

The charming log huts with forest spread across it is a photographer’s dream and makes for an incredible mountain retreat.

The Chalets Naldehra is the first property built in India with the internationally recognized expertise that has come to be associated with the Scandinavian log homes. The chalets have been built with technology and wood imported from Finland. These fir logs have been specially treated in a high-tech plant and are given a finish that is enduring, warm and welcoming.

These have a drawing/dining room, a bedroom and a parvis with sloped ceilings - something that every child or adult will adore.

Restaurant- Yet another spectacular part of the hotel is the ‘360° Top of the World’ revolving restaurant with huge windows that unfold vistas of the valleys and forests. The revolving restaurant can at a time accommodate up to 24 people and buzzes with Mozart throughout your meal. The food offered at Chalets Naldehra includes Chinese, Continental and Indian.They also offer meals at the shared lawns and an experience not to be missed is the evening tea in gardens with the sight of mesmerizing sunset. While they do have their indoor restaurant, we would definitely suggest you to immerse in nature and enjoy outdoors as much as possible, even if it means facing a monkey or two.

Pool: They have a pool so gorgeous, it that can give the modern-day infinity pool a miss. The heated leisure pool of the Chalets has been imported from Australia and placed in a large greenhouse like hall that seems to bring in the charm of the surrounding woods – it’s almost as if you are swimming with the cedars. Under a starlit sky or on a warm sunny afternoon or for that matter while the monsoon rain patters on the clear-glass roof or even when snowflakes swirl, you can take a long, leisure swim or just lounge by the poolside, soaking in bliss.

Spa- The spa offers Ayurvedic therapies and massages. Sauna, Jacuzzi pool, Steam room, hot and cold showers are available. After all, what is a retreat without a tranquil massage?

They also have a bar where you can pour yourself a strong drink or have a cup of coffee, activity room, croquet green, and a library among other facilities. In keeping with the mystique of The Chalets Naldehra, every unit has been given a name that either belongs to the region or has been named after an explorer or adventurer of the region. For example, The Gerard Chalet is named after the Gerard Brothers who were amongst the earliest travelers and mappers of the tract. They also have conference hall that makes it an incredible venue for conferences, so maybe you should take your next team meeting or conference right amidst the hills.

What to do: Naldehra is dotted with several attractions which include temples, lakes, hot water springs, scenic beauty and golf courses.

Mahunag Temple is one of the most prominent attractions, from which the place has derived its name. Also, a visit to Shimla can be a day’s outing where you can indulge in some famous cafes, stroll around mall road and visit famous structures that belonged from the British era.

Eat Clean & Train Mean Dina Arif - taking her love for fitness to a new level and spreading the motivation by being fit. She was always into sports! Being a child, she grew up in a sports-oriented household. Her whole family has been playing badminton for years, working up to the national level as well. Fitness turned into a passion for her when she started doing weights at the gym just to see what it was like, and the results were amazing! She maintained it with a good diet and consistency.

That’s what kept her going for years and now this is who she is! A fitness enthusiast!

What’s the new fitness regimen to stay fit or to lose weight? What regimen would you recommend?

The one and the only regimen in the fitness world according to me is consistency.

Consistency is the key towards a healthy and fit life. I saw that when i was consistent with my workouts, it turned into my lifestyle. It’s not a phase or just a diet anymore, which only gives you short-term results. Once you make fitness a lifestyle, that you live by, it changes everything, and that’s what is going to help you lose weight and stay fit your whole life. what are some of the common fitness myths that people believe to be true?

I’ve heard of myths like girls shouldn’t lift because it makes them bulky, or that girls should only jog or walk. I have also heard of myths like zero carbs help you lose weight. It just never made sense to me as to how people made these opinions by cutting out the most vital aspects of an individual’s life to make them fit. You need carbs, you need cardio and you need to lift weights, be it a boy or a girl. There is no gender when it comes to fitness, anyone and everyone can be fit! Nor 68 OCTOBER, 2018 - TULIP

is there such a thing as completely stopping carbs or sugar, you either limit it or find healthier alternatives.

How does one break a weight plateau?

Weight plateaus are common amongst people who follow the same workout routine or diet every day. This causes the body to get accustomed to the same dynamics when done repeatedly, which results in a plateau.

When I reached a plateau I did alterations in my workouts such as lifting heavier or doing

more reps which gives the body a shock and shows better results. Also switching foods that are high in protein with a sufficient amount of carbs and healthy fats helps the body break the plateau and gain muscle.

Can you share some healthy recipes and tips?

I have done a lot of trial and errors on myself which gave me the knowledge on several tips

that I can share with others. Starting your day with a meal that has high carbs and healthy fats give your day a good kick start and keep you full for longer as well. In addition to this, protein enriched meals and healthy snacking throughout the day helps metabolism and your digestive system. Also staying active through the day apart from the gym helps the body burn a sufficient amount of calories even when at rest! My recipes revolve around one idea and that is that they should be EASY. I am not one to stand in the kitchen for hours and get a meal out of it. Like any other fitness enthusiast, I also prepare meals for the whole week. So, quick and easy meals that I make

one day and store it for the rest of the week is what I’m all about! One of these recipes that I love snacking on are my yummy cookies, which are only made of 3 ingredients. I add oats, bananas, and dark chocolate chips to a bowl and mix it all together and bake for 10 to 12 mins. That keeps my sugar cravings on the low!

FITNESS

What is a strict no-no among crash fad diets?

The biggest no-no for me is a zero carb diet.

I need my carbs, and trust me it’s not just

me, everyone needs carbs. Carbs are so vital for the growth of muscles and overall of for an individual that it just cannot be locked out. Yes, you can limit it, you can have it in moderation, you can switch to things such as quinoa or brown rice but a no carb diet is not your sure shot way to getting abs. It may show short-term results but don’t make it your lifestyle.

How does one motivate oneself? What is your motivation towards fitness?

My motivation is the inner strength and peace that I get from being fit. That one hour that I spend with just myself, pushing myself to do that last pull is mentally relaxing for me. It’s a physical and mental getaway. I see myself lifting weights that I wouldn’t have even thought of lifting. How I keep lifting heavier and pushing myself to do better is what makes my day and that’s what makes me want to come back to the gym the next day. It became clear to me when I won the HRX challenge recently, how much my body

was able to work when I put my mind to it.

I wanted to win. I wanted to set a goal for others to reach. I wanted to put the hard work I did for years into something meaningful.

And there I was, winning a challenge and meeting Hrithik Roshan. People need to realize that fitness is one thing that you can do only for yourself. It has no benefits for another person. Fitness is something which will make your brain and body connect in ways you can’t even imagine or explain to another person, and will only result in something better. A fit life will never let you down.

Any tips you would like to give to our readers?

Tips I would like to share are to be consistent, and to never think that you can’t do it. I can’t stress enough on how an opinion becomes such a mental block. It’s all in the head, and once you clear that space and fill it with positive notions towards yourself, you will see yourself reaching higher goals!

MOVIES Movie Reviews

THE NUN When a young nun at a cloistered abbey in Romania takes her own life, a priest with a haunted past and a novitiate on the threshold of her final vows are sent by the Vatican to investigate. Together they uncover the order’s unholy secret.A mix of slow-burn religious mystery and old-school adventure that egregiously fails to utilize its greatest hit: Bonnie Aarons’ terrifyingly freaky villainess of the cloth. The Nun is more chaotic than most of the many, many films set in The Conjuring universe. If not for sudden blasts of Dolby fury, there would be nothing to provide shocks, let alone scares. What terrifies most is the complete and utter lack of plot.

U TURN This movie shows the life of Rachana (Samantha Akkineni), who is a reporter following a story revolving around offenders who move the divider blocks on RK Puram flyover, to take a U TURN. Just when she thinks her story is on track and life seems to be sorted, she ends up in issues involving the flyover and the mysterious deaths of people who had taken the U TURN. And now, revealing more about the movie would be unfair!! The film is a definite must watch.It gives nothing but thrill and excitement to the viewers. What’s best about the movie is the cinematography, the screenplay and the background score (music by Anirudh Ravichandran) which is unforgettable. The cast is one of the biggest asset of the film and it stars Samantha Akkineni, Rahul Ravindran, Bhoomika Chawla, a Aadhi Pinisetty playing the lead roles. As it a thriller-horror, some can try and guess the plot, but the director has done a wonderful job indeed, with a hard hitting message to the society. It’s indeed an excellent movie to watch in the recent times. So, people should definitely take a U TURN to the cinema halls and watch it!! I would give it a rating of 4/5.

Manmarziyaan Set in Amritsar, Manmarziyaan has robust local flavor but builds its narrative too slowly and indulgently. Taapsee Pannu and Vicky Kaushal are head over heels in love. Vicky is a typical carefree dude who wants to enjoy benefits of romance sans commitment of marriage. Taapsee’s family isn’t happy with this arrangement and pushes her to settle down immediately, either with Vicky or a munda of their choice. Vicky develops cold feet every time he tries to approach the girl’s family. Disgruntled, Taapsee agrees for arranged marriage. Enter - perfect marriage material Abhishek Bachchan, gold hearted NRI who is an epitome of good manners & simplicity. He falls deeply in love with Taapsee. But the old flame rebounds back into the girl’s life and finally, after lot of emotional drama, she makes an easy choice between passion and pure love. The movie is strictly one-time watch for hopeless romantics and rebellious youngsters.
