How would you handle readjusting to life after being wrongfully imprisoned for 19 years of your life? Sundance TV’s Rectify addresses this quandary as it follows the life of Daniel Holden. Convicted and sent to death row as a teenager for the rape and murder of his 16-year-old girlfriend, new evidence sets the stage for his return home to Paulie, Georgia. Now in his late 30s, Holden attempts to rekindle relationships with his family and friends, something not easily accomplished for someone whose name had been denounced for so long.

Be it a performance on the stage or her role in short films, you know she was born to dance and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what she has been doing for the last 20 years. Collaborating with artistes from Australia, Mongolia, Iran, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and many other countries, Sandhya has definitely taken the dance form to new levels.

Tell us something about your usual day at work? My usual day at work as a performing artist would include weight training, stretching for flexibility, practicing dance, practicing expressions etc. As a teacher it would include teaching students to dance, to eat right and sleep right.

What is a typical day like in your life? There is nothing like a typical day for me. Every day is different. I take each day as it comes and everyday is a different adventure. Some days I focus on my exercises, some days are more about my dance, some days I work on choreography or a project.

field you excel in? It takes motivation, intrinsic motivation every single day! You have to wake up and want to reinvent yourself. Never let your past successes let you relax. Focus more on the failures and learn from them. Constantly keep chasing your dreams.

Tell us something that no one knows about you? I am not a good multi tasker. I can only take up one thing at a time and I become very obsessive about it until I complete it with perfection.

Tell us a funny incident that happened with you? So the funniest thing happened with me when I went to watch Shobhana Garu perform at Ravindra Bharti. I had not dressed up at alluncombed hair, rubber chappals, no makeup on. After the performance we all stood up to give ‘THE’ Shobana a standing ovation and someone from the stage announced my name saying they wanted me to honour her with a shawl. I just froze! It was the most embarrassing and funniest moment of my life to go upon the stage dressed like I just got out from bed on a Sunday morning.

What does it take to be successful in the

How did Classical dancing happen? When I was around 9 years old, my mother was looking to put me in some sort of an extracurricular activity to vent out all my energy. Around the same time, it so happened that I went to Bangalore to watch my dance master perform ‘ksheera sagara mathanam’ and I was totally hooked. Thats when my mom decided to enrol me into the dance school next to our house. After this, there was no turning back. From the first day of my class I just knew that I wanted to be a professional dancer. How do you manage work and personal life? I cannot manage work and personal life! Im very bad at balancing things. Whenever I have to sort of balance anything, I just try to decide what’s more important at that moment and work things out accordingly.

Rapid Fire Three things you don’t leave home without? Phone, Power bank and credit card Next holiday destination? London. Most recent fashion purchase? Dior skirt. Are u a morning or night person? 100% morning person. Biggest addiction Instagram! One habit you’d like to change about yourself? To stop looking at food as an emotional comfort.

Dress up the restaurantA theme special edition We all love dressing up when there is a theme party, and most of the times, we go all out. But, imagine going to a restaurant or a cafe that is dressed to the occasion? Spot on, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re discussing cafes and restaurants with themes in Hyderabad today. If you are ready to go all out, read on, and head out to these amazing eateries which have the theme of your choice. - By Tanvi Kesari

Driven Cafe

Driven cafe is much more than just a themed eatery. Every inch of the cafe is made out of passion. The very moment you enter the cafe, you feel the chills from the air conditioner, set at a temperature suitable to the riders that enter the cafe after a long ride wearing their helmets and jackets on. The very next notable aspect is their loud music, deliberately above the preference of a layman, to give the rider a neutrality after his long windy ride. One you enter the cafe, there is a wide range of home brewed coffee to choose from. Ranging from the most expensive coffee- the kopi Luwak, and their strongest coffee, most commonly known as the death wish. If your adrenaline is on a high and you are one heck of a coffee lover, do head to the driven cafe right away, merely for the experience. Oh! And I almost forgot to mention, they rent luxurious cars and bikes, rent them if you can. Period. Must try: Kopi Luwak and Death wish for coffee. Paneer Sandwich to fill your stomach, and cafe caramel on the cold brew. Address: ISB Road, Financial District Kapil Towers, Opposite to ICICI Bank Nanakram Guda, Gachibowli, Hyderabad, Telangana 500008

President Dhaba

Nostalgia hitting me right in the eyes. The president dhaba is a one of its kind restaurant, bringing back your childhood memories of travelling long ways, to sit at a highway dhaba, and having your favourite butter naan and paneer butter masala. Your tastebuds are definitely watering enough to hog on a platter full of punjabi food, with the feel of a dhaba, all amidst the hustle and bustle of your own city. The beautiful, yet raw, rustic interiors are definitely the show stealer. So, don’t delay because the tandoors are all ready and heated, and the grills are sizzling hot, just like they should be. Must try: Seekh Kebab, Sarson Fish Tikka, Kajubhari Burg Tikka, Garlic Naan, Masala Kulcha, Punjabi Dal Tadka, Patiala Lassi, Rabri, Ghee Rice. Address: 36, Image Gardens Rd, Cyber Hills Colony, VIP Hills, Silicon Valley, Madhapur, Hyderabad, Telangana 500081

Beach House

There is a Goa in Hyderabad. You read that right. There is a mini Goa themed restaurant in the city. Have you heard of it yet? It is the beach house! The decor blends perfectly into your regular day at at the beach shack vibe, and smells like it, too. The strikingly beautiful furniture, and the friendly staff at the restaurant will complete your urge to go have sea food on a weekday, or maybe a weekend? All from the comfort of your city, and oh! Without a loss of pay! also, it is super economical, just like you would expect it to be when you’re on your vacation. So, don’t you worry about living far away from the sea shore, and get your flip flops and some florals on, and head to have some amazing sea food. Duh! What is a beach house without some fish in the sea ? Must try: chicken biryani, rolls, sea food, tandoori chicken, crispy corn.

Ohri’s 70 mm

If there were a Food Cinematic universe series, this would be the return of the Ohri’s. It is nostalgia at its best. Man! What an experience. Everything from the carefully done interiors giving you glimpses of your age old cinema, to the very theme of having to pay for the ticket while entering the restaurant. The ambience is ‘lit’ with reference to the cinematic lighting, and the evergreen Bollywood songs playing in the background. It gives you an experience of having food either in a movie shoot location, or in a cinema hall, with live food counters and people running around, and the music and the posters all over. It is a place worth visiting, re-visiting, and relishing. Must try: Salad, Biryani, Chaat, Pasta, Fish, Pav Bhaji, Haleem Address: 039, Adjacent Jalvihar Entertainment Private Limited Necklace Road, Hyderabad

Angaara

Experience royalty, within a budget. For all you food economists, who love to try new experiences, new cuisines, but without compromising on having to think twice before spending, Angaara is your man! True to its theme, the food is equally rich in taste, and will enhance your buds and leave you craving for more. The place is decorated with little nuances to Nizami culture, and you are treated like a maharaja inside. Sounds exciting? Let’s put on our royal anarkalis and kurtas, and curtsy our way to the royal dining room. Must try: Hyderabadi biryani, Chicken grill, Haleem, Nizami veg handi, murgh afgani Address: Plot 21, T.K.

Kangan

Bole chudiya! The restaurant is filled with bangles all over. It is so desi, you’d want to start dancing amidst the uber cool people in the Westin and embarrass yourself, but not feel guilty, because a little bit of Bollywood doesn’t hurt anybody. Set as one of the themed restaurants in The luxurious Westin hotel, Kangan surely stands out to give you an experience worth remembering. Not only for the money that you would pay, but for the food that justifies the pennies, and would leave you thinking that it deserves more. If they like you, they just might give you a set of bangles, trust me, it happens in there. So, are you ready with your PeeCee saree and some high heels to go there and have a Bollywood time? Must try: Chicken Tikka Masala, Dal Makhani,Mutton Biryani, Mirch Ka Saalan, Dahi Ke kebab, mocktails, kulcha. Address: Survey No.64, HUDA Techno Enclave, Raheja IT Park, Hitech City, Madhapur, Hyderabad, Telangana 500081

Sodabottleopenerwala

Persian surnames that are Indianised can be so catchy that you can make a great cafe out of it. If you’ve lived in Mumbai, or have a Parsi friend, or you love Parsi food, this is the only and the best eatery in town for you to head to. I mentioned Mumbai, because of its famous Parsi cafes where you can have amazing Irani chai, and chat with your buddies. The interior is like an Instagram filter, except for there is none. Falling short of words to describe everything about the place, it is a must visit If you’re in the city and are bored of eating your regular food. Though priced slightly on the higher graph, it is all worth the hype. Must try: Vada Pav, Berry Pulao, Chicken Farcha,Irani Chai, Egg Kejriwal, Raspberry Soda, Keema Pav Address: Unit 4, Ground Floor, Niharika Jubilee 1, Road 1, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad TULIP - OCTOBER, 2019 29

Ohri’s rubaiyat

When has Ohri’s opened a restaurant or an eater without a theme? Give them a square inch of space, and they come up with something out of the box. Such is Rubaiyat. You enter the world of the Mughals and royalty, with shimmering chandeliers, arched pathways, and are sure to be consumed by the grandiose of the pillars. The Mughlai cuisine with an aroma of its own surrounds the area, giving you a craving to dive deep into the royal platters once you step in. While it is an absolute dream come true to meat eaters, vegetarians have their own share of menu, serving justice by the restaurant. Must try: Dakhani Saag Motia, Bhindi Singhara,Martaban ka Chara Aloo, Lahori Murgh Tikka, Awadh Ke Galauti Kebab, Rampur ka Pyaazi Kebab, Chowgra, Tala Hua Gosht, Shikampur Kebab, and Gosht Double Seena Masala. Address: Ohris Cyber Pearl, Block 1, Hitech City, Hyderabad Madhapur, Cyberabad

Frozen Desert

Deserts are supposed to be frozen? No! ‘Desserts’ are supposed to be frozen. Go back to the first word. This is one of the true definitions of a themed eatery. You experience the heat of the sand beneath your feet, and cool it down with the teeth chilling ice cream in your mouth. The place is a perfect oxymoron for all you lovers of desserts, and if you are in for an experience to go with your regular ice cream cravings. So, let’s get to the desert to have some tongue pleasing, mouth- watering desserts! Must try: Waffles, tea, sandwich, strawberry cheesecake, macaroon, passion fruit tart.

Festive Dinner with the Reddys What’s your OOTD or OOTN for the occasion? I love wearing Sarees and Cotton Kurtis with Linen Pants. They are definitely my go-to! They’re also something I wear everyday. It’s simple, yet elegant and most importantly, comfortable. Comfort over everything. What’s the most lovable thing about Diwali ?

Mandatory family greetings and blessings would be sought, the evening mostly means shuttling another fire-cracker session, catching up on the latest movie release on TV and binging on our favourite festival food. What are your favorite fire crackers? Flower pots and sparklers !! How is a typical day like at the Reddy house? I start the day with a cup of green tea. It’s always very lively at home with lots of people around and the house buzzing with lots of energy. Good vibes only! What according to you are the best places to shop for diwali special outfits?

This Festive season have a green Diwali

- By Syeda Inas Inayath

Diwali is the festival of lights, it is a celebration that marks the victory of good over evil, light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance, The theme of “green world” is spreading all over the world and it also our responsibility to maintain it overserves for a better and safe society so that this year we should celebrate this Diwali more sustainably and be more conscious about the choices we make. This year we must celebrate Diwali keeping in mind the future to come.

Meena Kumari

A Digital Marketing Executive and photographer. Eco-friendly Diwali has been our way of celebrating since the day we got our dog. The fear in his face really shook us. Every year we create a warm and happy atmosphere for all of us. We spend the whole night in our balcony that’s fully lit with diyas and decorated with flowers shutting off all the electricals and phones. We talk and laugh the whole time. I think the whole point is to be happy and create a happy environment for everyone around which includes animals, plants, birds and everything else that lives around. It’s our Happy Diwali”,

K. Jahnavi Krishna Priya MA(anthropology)

Firstly Diwali is a festival of lights and is celebrated to commemorate the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya. So even religion does not asks us to celebrate it through burning harmful crackers. On Diwali day I sit down for pooja and meditate for well being of the world, I advocate against the use of crackers which pollute nature in all possible ways and cause disturbance to the old people, toddlers and animals. I run a campaign among school children regarding the celebration of eco friendly Diwali , Make children portray yoga asanas which depict a diya, so that they get the media coverage through which we can aware people about eco-friendly diwali. Try to clean my surroundings, my home and plant a tree on the auspicious evening. I have chosen to celebrate eco-friendly Diwali when I was in my higher schooling after having heard to the adverse effects it is having on environment.I took the owe to go eco friendly and became successful in it and so can anyone, all it takes is a start.

Alice Rosario, Model.

“As any kid, we loved bursting crackers. It was a time for fun, we were allowed to stay up late and night. Catching up with neighbours. It was something that got us together but the moment we stepped back home, the noise levels and the smoke would always scare the babies (my puppers) They would constantly whine and , cry. The noise levels would get too much for them. Growing up we realised, it just not worth it. Like your enjoyment is actually harming something really dear to you. We have over 13 dogs that we look after. So our Diwali’s are usually celebrate with all of these bundles of Joy snuggled close to us. Isn’t it a Happy diwali? 38 OCTOBER, 2019 TULIP

Inside The

GOLCONDA FORT

An architectural masterpiece which was once the capital city of the Qutub Shahi Dynasty and standing tall in the city of Nizams, Golconda Fort needs no introduction. The Golconda Fort sites atop a granite hill and this 400 year old majestic and imposing citadel is one of the most outstanding citadels which epitomises the rich culture of “Nawabs” of that era, giving royal and bygone era feels. Though few may say that its beauty is fading due to the amount of ruins, Golconda Fort makes sure you get hooked to it for many reasons and fascinates people to pay a visit and get lost in time. What fascinates people and ensures their return is the rich history, the marvellous interiors, the secrets which are still buried and the stories of the past which can still be felt at every corner. Here are the missed and unseen details of the Golconda Fort which you’d be willing to experience -

The Darwazas

The ‘darwaza’ or gates of any fort played a very important role back then. Besides being functional, it adds mystique to the appearance of the structure and maybe that what entices people to enter and have a complete new experience. Golconda Fort has eight important gates – Bala Hissar Darwaza, Fateh Darwaza, Banjara Darwaza, Moti Darwaza, Patancheru Darwaza, Mecca Darwaza and Yali Darwaza which connects and links to one route, out of which three of them were important in terms of architecture and purpose. Bala Hissar Darwaza – The Bala Hissar depicts and showcases Indo-Islamic design in stucco between the arch and the lintel with a heraldic lion and other mythical animals. There is also a peacock motif which is used above the door decoratively. Fateh Darwaza – The ‘Fateh Darwaza’ or the ‘Victory Gate’ has a history as this is the gate through which Emperor Aurangzeb’s forces entered the fort. The gate is located the southern part of the fort. This gateway is 13 feet wide and 25 feet wide high which has iron sheets with spikes stuck on the teak doors, with two sockets at each side. Yali Darwaza – The ‘Yali Darwaza’ pierces the middle fortification and has a very interesting broad lintel consisting of a lotus medallion with mythical animals on its sides, probably ‘yalis’. Swans with worms in their beaks can also be seen. The pointed top is surrounded by animal and bird motifs. 46 OCTOBER, 2019 TULIP

Architectural Excellence – Golconda Fort’s beauty comes from an amalgamation of Indo-Islamic architecture. The meticulous details of each design carved at each gate, each pillar and the fading gardens which were once sprawling and playing fountains will act as a time machine transporting you back in time. The colossal gates at the entrance, the arches, the pillars and details at every corner will keep you intact with the place. The secrets of the past, such as, the underground tunnel which is believed to exist till date from ‘Durbar Hall’ to one of the palaces at the foothill to the forts, consisting the tombs of the Qutub Shahi Kings, will give you goose bumps for sure. Also, the way the fort was designed with the granite rocks with exotic designs makes sure that the fort always has cool breeze inside despite the hot weather outside. Each and every corner has a story and being a huge fort, you never know what you get to discover or explore at the next turn.

km inside the citadel. Not only that, there are people who say that one can easily hear these noises from outside too.

The history behind this was for security reasons. The acoustics had proven to be useful, especially during Golconda’s reign as a capital- the period when the fort was attacked many times. The chamber acoustics was such that any noise that occurred from the movements to attack the king or people was echoed multiple times. The Iranian architects instructed the Qutub Shahis to mix a lot of substances into building materials for excellent sound reflections such as clay and metals. Also, the architecture was in such a way, that they constructed arches and porticos for the amplification of the sound. It is a great example of how physics was efficiently used in the bygone era. The Pillar Engraved with Bilingual Inscription –

The Acoustic Wonder – Ever wondered why tourists when visiting Golconda Fort always clap? It is because the sound of a clap can reputedly travel for more than 1

This might fascinate those who delve a lot into the history of a place. A 16th century bilingual inscription has been discovered in Golconda Fort adding a new dimension to the Qutub Shahi dynasty. This bilingual inscription is uncommon and rare as it contains both Persian and Telugu scripts engraved on the both sides though badly eroded. The script on this miniature pillar is said to match the style of inscriptions done by Vijayanagar emperors. At the top, are the symbols of ‘sun’ and ‘moon’, a customary practice in Telegu inscriptions. The Man-Made Marvel – The acoustics might be a marvel when it comes to knowing how people back then used physics in the best possible way, but this main thing is always missed, not understood and rarely spoken about. The Golconda Fort has a web of aqueducts, clay pipes and storm water drains. The first one is right across the first entrance which carries water to the “Hammam”. The concept behind hamman is still not completely clear as the historians are divided whether it was exclusively for women or was used for rituals before the burial. In the middle of the vast courtyard of “Rani Mahal” is a metal fountain that has been a sight with the spray of water on a moonlit night, shining like a diamond. Water bubbling out of a fountain is a wonderful sight but making it happen without any electricity is a miracle in itself. The Qutub Shahi kings used high water engineering skills to pump up water to higher levels, this leading a very urbane and modern lifestyle for their time. There are so many wonders to explore in this world, so why not start from here. Happy exploring!

The spooky time of the year is here! Welcome Halloween!

If you’re, say, the average human being, Halloween probably isn’t on your radar right now. But if October 31 is your favourite holiday, you’re well aware that costume planning can begin as early as you damn please. Instagram has become the ultimate source of all things beauty inspo. And in the months leading up to Halloween—hey, it’ll be here before you know it—your feed will be flush with a whole new crop of elaborate, out-of-the-box makeup ideas, including the deeply creepy, the crazy beautiful, and, of course, the politically charged, all of which are definitely worthy of a double tap. So to help keep you from another year of procrastinating, scrambling, and ultimately hating on your costume all night, we rounded up our favorite ideas, below, to get you inspired way, way ahead of the big night.

“Halloween’s a holiday where we get to be creative in CT terms of decking up to decorations, for me personally it’s a break from the professional bridal makeup I do and I enjoy doing a makeup look that’s totally opposite and gives me creative freedom. I enjoy watching spooky movies with my friends and ofcourse love stocking on loads of chocolates for trick or treating kids! The best part is getting ready as fictional characters! Last year I’d dressed up as Maleficent, I find Angelina Jolie’s character absolutely iconic so I wore the black attire with the horns and did contour to match her high cheekbones, enhanced my brows and liner to emulate, plus the signature red lips to complete the look! This year I’m planning to be Annabelle, it’s definitely going to be really spooky as I’m planning to replicate the look with the braids hairstyle along with the white outfit. It’s going to be exciting as I’m planning on doing the exact look which is white washed face with heavy blush, rounded eyes and dark lips!”. Nabeela Meenazi, Makeup Artist TULIP - OCTOBER, 2019 53

| FEATURE “Halloween has always been our favourite time of the year. No matter how caught up we are with things, we make it a point to meet on this day dressed as spooky characters. Last year we dressed up as the cat women and witches. This year all of us have planned to dress up as dead brides and call ourselves as the ghostly dead group”.

Ravali, Nada & Sanjana

“The best part about Halloween is the Trick or Treat and the candies of course. We love the spooky vibes and how the imaginations meet fashion (costumes). Last year we dressed as Blair and Serena”. Abida & Tahera, Fashion bloggers. “Halloween is a great time to move away from the general beauty makeup looks and play around with something more fun. Last year, I created some grotesque looks like a crazy clown and a skull, and also some pretty yet fun looks like the sunflower fields and the devil VS angel look. The response last year was overwhelming and I received alot of requests for Halloween makeup tutorials. So this year, in the halloween countdown, we’re going to have a bunch of new looks and tutorials instore. Both grotesque and glamours. Experiment with your looks this Halloween and remember to have fun!”

Zarnain Abedi Makeup Artist “Halloween is the time of the year where you can freely dress up like somebody else and express whichever persona you want, allowing you to showcase your creativity in the best way possible! H&M offers these Halloween costumes including skeleton bodysuits which let’s one groove in the spirit of the festival in a fun way”.

FEATURE | “Halloween is relatively new to our culture. What I love about it is the fact that Indians have adapted it so well and eagerly look forward to Halloween every year. I also love how adults and children alike enjoy dressing up in evil attires with long nails and witch broom sticks. The air just feels like there’s hocus pocus and magic everywhere!”

“Halloween is the time to be as weird as you want and no one can judge you. It is perfect for me! The thought of October gives me a feeling like no other. I get to scare people and don’t need to explain why. Halloween is a beautiful holiday created for every horror enthusiast. Last year I dressed up as a skeleton. For this year I am planning something extra scary.”

Halloween according to me it is the best time of the year to kick back, order pizza and binge watch some of the scariest Netflix movies with your friends.” Shaya Pillai, Film Major.

“Halloween has always been exiting as I get to see how creative one can get and dress up as their dreamy characters, dropping their inhibitions and step outside of themselves for a evening. My favourite Halloween party till date was the one I attended in the United Kingdom during my university days. I was dressed as the Joker that day”.

Sanjana Reddy, Business Manager

“Halloween is a month from now but I can already feel my excitement pouring out of me. It is an amazing time to go to haunted houses and watch scary movies with your friends. It is also a great time to party and dress up. Last year I was dressed as the evil nun and literally scared everyone away haha.”

Best Skin Treatments in Hyderabad

Reva Clinic

Started ten years ago, Reva Clinic is a state-ofthe-art integrated medical facility that combines the best functional and aesthetic medicine from around the world under one roof. Its aim is to maximise and maintain optimal physiological function and minimize, in some cases, reverse the signs of ‘Aging’. The services they provide are categorised into different segments of body sculpting, hair treatments, laser hair reduction, skin treatments, nutrition and detox, health and ayurveda wellness. Out of all these services being provided, we went to experience Micro-needling procedure at Reva Clinic. Micro-needling is a derma roller procedure that uses small needles to prick the skin, this promoting firm and toned skin. The main purpose of this treatment is to generate new collagen and skin tissue for smoother skin. We went and met Dr. Poojitha Pedarla who is an experienced dermatologist at the clinic, and showed our concerns of acne scars and open pores due to acne. We were amazed on how patiently she listened to our query, understood the problem and came to the conclusion of 4-5 sittings of micro-needling for a better and clear skin. On the day of our treatment, upon entering we were taken to the waiting lounge where a steaming cup of green tea was served and ensured us that we are in safe hands.

Procedure –

A cream is applied on the face for 45 mins before the procedure in the waiting lounge which works as an anaesthesia where it numbs the face which helps in not feeling anything while the procedure is being performed. It hardly took 5 mins for the procedure to complete. The doctor was cooperative enough to make sure we are in no pain and the whole procedure is a stress free procedure. An ice-pack is then applied where you feel much relaxed. The redness due to the needles will be there on the face for 2-3 days, but will subside and the fresh skin will start to come out and you can witness decreased pores with each session. With each session, you will notice your skin glow and shine with radiance.

ADCS (Advanced Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery Centre) Dr. Soujanya Dhulipala’s idea of providing the quality and affordable Dermatology services and Hair Restoration surgery has taken shape into the ‘Advanced dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery Centre’.

Having realized the fact that the Clinical Dermatology must be complemented with the ever growing Cosmetic Dermatology, Dermato Surgery and Hair Restoration Surgery, Dr. Soujanya started the centre with latest available equipments covering the areas of the cosmetic dermatology and hair restoration surgery. We went to visit and witness the procedure of ‘Laser Toning’/Q Switch Laser Toning (with Helios) is a technology that treats uneven skin tone and hyper pigmentation. Switch Laser is safe for Indian skin to treat unwanted pigmentation. The laser beam of light specifically targets the brown pigment or melanin, present in the dark spots without having any effects on the surrounding skin. The pigment absorbs the laser energy and gets fragmented with the skin’s tissues, giving a smooth, clear and even skin. It usually takes 5-6 sessions for it to show the best results, depending on the skin type and the level or intensity of problem. Laser toning as such has no down time, so getting back to work or resuming daily chores can be done immediately.

Procedure –

After listening to our problem, the doctor made sure that we are comfortable and she was friendly enough for us to reveal in details about the skin problems we are suffering from. She even kept us telling while performing the procedure about what is being done and its role. First, the assistant cleaned the face and applied a layer of carbon powder on it. The carbon powder creates a layer between the laser rays and the skin and also helps in decreasing sebum secretion. 1064nm Wavelength Mode and Pulse width of 300us is used to heat the carbon to help with acne and open pores. After this, the doctor entered, covered the eyes with eye mask as radiations from laser are not healthy for the eyes and began the treatment. The procedure started with the laser focussing on effected skin areas, though it pricked a little but she was gentle enough so it really didn’t hurt much. During the Carbon removing process dead skin cells, makeup residue, clogged Pores, oil sebum and blackheads are removed. After the completion of treatment, a cold ice pack was applied on the skin to soothe and cool it down. This was followed by a vitamin C cream that would nourish bring glow to the skin. After the session was completed, we were amazed looking at the results just the first session got. The skin was smoother and shinier with lesser appearance of dark spots, pigmentation, unwanted hair and freckles. The overall experience was great and a much recommended experience in case you suffering from such skin conditions. The doctor is extremely humble and not money minded at all. She was kind enough to also help us out with a hair reduction treatment as a part of the laser treatment on the face!

Pioneers of Acro Yoga From giving her first stage performance at the tiny age of four and then establishing a professional career as a dance instructor at Shiamak Davar’s International India Private limited to giving up all the comforts and pursue a career of her own, Nicy Jospeh, Dancer, Zumba Instructor, Founder & Owner at Nicy Joseph Dance and Fitness and Acro Yoga with Nicy and Kamal, has truly come a long way. Not just her, but her partner, Kamal Maliramani has also been practicing yoga for a decade now and had the opportunity of getting the taste of AcroYoga first from a workshop. As the form appealed to his creative mind, he thoroughly explored this and encouraged Nicy to join him as well. They have never looked back since. AcroYoga is a blend of wisdom, dynamic power of acrobatics and the loving kindness of healing arts. It comprises of two components – Solar and Lunar. Solar aspect is more acrobatic oriented, whereas the Lunar aspect is more inclined towards healing and is considered therapeutic. This concept started picking up about two decades ago with an objective of developing

loving and caring communities. They started with their own set of students and slowly started conducting two days workshops at other yoga and dance studios where the community started to build. Today, they conduct open jam sessions to enable everyone to experience and explore this form of yoga. Their practice videos have also been well received. They ensure a minimum of two videos and few photographs on their social media handles every month. As Nicy states, “Acroyoga brings in the fresh energy and perspective to life; to understand the beauty of togetherness, and achieve the seemingly impossible. Each aspect transforms us into kids who just wish to explore more and more of this art called Acroyoga. It keeps us creative, compassionate, playful, responsible and appreciative of others.” You can follow her on Instagram - @nicyjospeh06 and stay tuned for more updates, current events and much more.

Rejuvenate at Somara Spa We went to experience the massage service at the spa which is located centrally in Hyderabad. We were welcomed warmly upon entering the place. They have a nice cozy reception area where you are seated and given the menu to choose aptly according to your requirement. We went ahead with the deep tissue massage, the masseur escorted to the therapy room and we were asked about the concentration areas where the focus needs to be. The room was having nice smoothing music which elevated the calmness of mind and felt relaxed once the therapy began. Post therapy green tea was offered and the feeling of freshness was there and the body felt re-energized with all the soreness and tiredness gone.

Sun, Sand and Surf Mahabalipuram, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its exuberant group of sanctuaries, founded by the Pallava kings, was carved out of rock along the Coromandel Coast in the 7th and 8th centuries. It is known especially for its rathas-temples in the form of chariots, mandapas - cave sanctuaries, giant open-air reliefs such as the famous â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Descent of the Gangesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and the temple of Rivage, with thousands of sculptures to the glory of Shiva.

In conversation with This will be your second web series of the year. How does it feel? It always, doesn’t matter if it is first, second or hundredth, feels great to be working or doing the work that you actually enjoy doing. I really feel proud that I have been the pioneer in bringing good quality series to the digital platform. How is doing talk show different from any other series/movies you have done before? They all are very different. Each movie is different from the one you have done before. So, every experience, every character has no comparison to what you have done before, that is the beauty of us as actors, we can go into so many characters and play so many different things but doing a talk show is always interesting because you trying to get something out of the other person so you are more interested in what the other person is saying rather than it being more about you unlike in movies. We have heard that the show will reveal intimate matters – so how do you plan on managing this? Yes, the show does reveal lot of intimate details and that is what the show is about. We want to know about what celebrities wear, eat, like literally what they do in their bedrooms. You know when somebody sits across the table, sits across the sofa, now I should say who sits next to the bed with me, I can feel it, I can say it, and I mean there is no such strategy maybe that is why my talk show has been such a hit. I know what I want to go after but I let the celebrity take over. Tell us something very funny/ embarrassing incidents from the sets of ‘feet up with the stars’. Oh, there have been lot of embarrassing/funny incidents. I think half the time I realise that I shouldn’t be laughing or cracking

jokes over other people’s voices. We had to be stopped many times just because we were like, “No! We didn’t get that, can you repeat that again” because we were over laughing at each other all the time, so, you will have to watch the show to see what funny tit bits were there. What’s next in terms of work? There is been lot happening at work for what is

happening next but I am right now here to talk about the one and only fabulous show that’s on our telugu channels that no other region has picked up. We are the first people to pick up and do such a concept in Telugu so I would like to celebrate the hard work that went into this and when I am ready to celebrate the next one, I shall surely let you know. You have worked for Hollywood and Tollywood – how are they different from one another? Apart from the two letters, the passion, the love, the commitment that each of them have to tell a story and the commitment to the art is undeniable. What’s a usual day in your life like? These days, everything revolves around my daughter’s school and classes, her timings. Just that and then everything else comes into play afterwards. I have been more diligent about looking my best, feeling my best and giving my since she was born. Whatever it takes like eating healthy, working out hard, setting goals for myself. Before it was like part of the working hazard, now I do it with joy. Before it was like part of the working hazard, now I do it with joy. Tell us something about how you are as a mother to Apple. Are you an easy going mom or strict? I am a very easy going mom but when it comes to discipline, I don’t hesitate. I could be at a wedding, an award show, at a party, if I see she is using the space to misbehave, I don’t give in, I take her right out, make her explain what is going on because being a celebrity’s daughter and coming from a celebrity’s family, she is got higher responsibility to completely embrace who she is but to be who she is also. So, the disciplinarian in the house, is definitely me.

Understanding that, Prabhas is making sure that his next movie will have all prime characters needed. His upcoming movie is being directed by Radhakrishna Kumar of ‘Jil’ movie fame.

MOVIES Movie Reviews

Chhichhore “Beta yeh tumara result decide nahii karta ki tum loser ho ya nahi yeh tumhari koshish karti hai “An ode to college-time friendships, romances, ragging, fights, competitions and countless memories, Chhichhore is a riot of emotions, and takes you on a nostalgic ride. It’s a relevant film with a rather important message conveyed through an engaging narrative. A must watch with old school and college friends.

Rambo Last Blood It is less an escapist action movie and more a dramatized manifestation of the most notorious sentences from Donald Trump’s presidential campaign announcement speech. He has destroyed an entire battalion of Vietnamese troops, he defeated the Russians in Afghanistan and he decimated the Burmese military machine. Now the iconic super-soldier John Rambo faces his greatest enemy yet: audience apathy.

Gang Leader The movie is all about a revenge, never seen before on Telugu screen. A revenge story tried out in a comical way is what the attempt was. But somehow somewhere the movie got stuck more between balancing the two exactly oppositely directed emotions and that is where we can find the tilt in balance. As usual with Vikram’s movies, art department and technical values are good. Music was OK but could be better and gripping when needed.
