Midriff fashion is more than just putting a bold foot forward. It is about free spiritedness as well. By PRAMITA BOSE Being oomphy is no cakewalk as one has to tread the fine line between sensuality and vulgarity. It can go south if not pulled off in the right perspective. Success comes with gravity, dignity, responsibility and a keen fashion sense. Not Just a Hot Pursuit! Apparently, midriff fashion might come across as a ‘hot and sensuous affair’ but there’s more to the story, affirms the experts. “Absolutely! You got to think bigger and beyond a hot bod.

Wellness Wows (Tofu)

Power Your Menu With Indulgence of Tofu   By PRAMITA BOSE Tofu is   a pallid white supple block of mashed soyabeans. It’s a prominent ingredient in modern-day Asian and vegetarian dishes. Tofu is high in protein with a subtle taste and is derived from the seed of the soya plant. Bone Booster Can tofu reinforce sturdy bone health and mitigate osteoporosis risks? Tofu, particularly the calcium-set varieties, is abundant in calcium and magnesium , both essential for maintaining bone density. Consistent consumption upkeeps strong bones and helps lessen the perils of osteoporosis progression , especially in ageing population. “On the flip side, bone health is not built on calcium alone,” stresses functional nutritionist Mugdha Pradhan, CEO and founder of iThrive, a Pune-based health and wellness platform . “It is true that tofu is often calcium-fortified, which can further contribute modestly to the ingestion of calcium,” she echoes. Yet at the same time, “solid bones ...

Ad commercial for Diva jewellery brand on the occasion of  Women’s Day (March 8) By PRAMITA BOSE Visuals: “Will she, won’t she?” mutters a woman under her breath while plucking leaves one by one from a twig held in her hand. She, a single, independent lady in her mid-30s, is in the next scene seen riding an auto rickshaw to an orphanage-cum-child care centre, embossed with the word ‘MATRISHAKTI’ in a large font on its signboard atop the entrance doorway.  She gets down in front of the main gate leading to the edifice painted in stark white. A baby nurse takes her to the babycare unit, a room full of cradled babies and the air around filled with their shrill cries and babbles. She is then brought closer to a cot and the caregiver lifts a beautiful baby girl in a swaddle to put it into the visitor’s arms. The baby feels a new touch, looks up and instantly blinks with a sunny sweet smile at her newfound warmth of love and care.  The lady heaves a sigh of relief, beaming ...
