Cheering for children

•You don’t have to wait for November 14 to pamper the tiny ones, but Children’s Day does have a special ring to it. Take out time for kids — yours and others’ — and gift them a day they will remember for a long time to come. Spend time playing, lounging, chatting, or maybe doing nothing more than giving them your full and undivided attention. Double their joy with presents. Choose from a trip to the games parlour, take them to Garfield 2, shower them with goodie hampers, kiddie gadgets… Top it with a treat at their favourite dessert parlour.

Tuning in to Bigg Boss

• Bobby Darling is voted out and that is just the beginning of the dramatic three months ahead. Catch celebrities be themselves as they try to make Bigg Boss’s home their own. Rakhi Sawant’s “domestication”, Aryan Vaid trying to woo Anupama Verma, girls ganging up against Ragini, Deepak Parasher’s mummy-like ways… Entertainment takes a new turn in this Sony reality show hosted by Arshad Warsi. So, are you in it?

Mastering pile-on

• Perfect the pile-on technique this winter as you play around with jackets of varying lengths, from shrugs to overcoats… The art lies in combining them aesthetically, balancing the silhouette all the way. Long sleeves under shorter sleeves, waistcoats over tees, shirts over a jacket… Let your sense of fashion ride wild. Choose shades from a similar colour family for a muted, toned-down look or pick contrasts from two ends of the palette for the shock effect.
