Since the world has not crashed and burnt and the apocalypse has had as much impact as our police on preventing rapes, its safe to assume that the whole self-improvement thing was as much of a sham as global warming. In which case, its the time of the year to make yourself empty promises (read clichd resolutions), which you have no intentions of keeping, so go on and read Final Countdown (page 120) everything from doing something about rape to saving money is in there. You vowed to give up drinking? You wont, which is why our planner for 2013 has a new drink for everyday of the New Year. Since the only other thing you want to know from your calendar are dry days, weve marked out every dry day in India no matter where you are (page 95). You vowed to take up cycling. We did. Truth be told, we didnt take up cycling as much as travelled with them in the boot of the car for a week, took them out for 15 mins for a shoot and promptly returned them, but weve still managed to make some rather informed guesses about which bicycle you should get yourself to get ripped quick. Turn to page 74 to find out what happens when the FHM team with no sense of balance and direction tries to test out four bicycles. Even as the First Son decided to make an ass out of himself and embarrass daddy the President of India with his whole Dented and Painted remark, we made a list of prominent people whove redefined putting a sock in it (page 24). And Delhi Police might have found expired tear gas shells too hot to handle for anti-rape protestors, but we still made a list of the hottest Indian chillies including the one that goes in making bombs (page 16).

Despite the fact that its been a hectic month for us, weve managed to ask 17 questions to the new Kingfisher Calendar girls (page 68). The writer missed out asking them about bikini glue and so he has been taken into the back and shot. As consolation, we met the greatest band ever the band that needs to be written about in upper case the band that makes music, burns down the Playboy Mansion and bangs Sarkozys wife. The band whose members can and probably will steal your girlfriend even if they are half a century older than you. Yes, we are talking about THE ROLLING STONES (page 58). Did you ever wonder what would happen if all the obese, useless men who wear suits to football matches and scream from the sidelines were sacked? Well, we did too, so turn to Page 64 to read what would happen if FHM got its hands on our own version of the Football Manager. Upgrade has its usual amount of batshit insanity, tips on making that bread that looks like the mint the Bagel (page 82) and a roundup of the dirtiest, most pointless and kinkiest smartphone apps (page 86). Everything from Boob-Stare to the Real Time Sex Grader are in there. To round up tech, we got a hold of five gadgets we are calling the hatchbacks of the Smartphone and Tablet world (page 92). Even though, you have bought FHM for the tech and the features and the cuttingedge writing, it would be rude to not talk about the women. Weve got for you Jacqueline Fernandez fresh from SL, a girl with a mole from Afghanistan (page 6) and a German girl in a pink bikini, who looks like the best thing out of Germany since Hitl uh Mercedes (page 90). Enjoy the Issue. Kabeer Sharma

Cursed MS Dhoni, BCCI and the world at large for letting Sachin Tendulkar retire from one-days without playing a retirement game. Ingrates.

Got hopelessly addicted to Real Steel. Nothing cheers a man up like two eight feet digital robots beating the crap out of each other on a smartphone. Nothing. But then we found The Avengers game. Made fun of Manmohan Singh for his #Theekhai on Twitter. Tragically none of our tweets passed muster. But its Manmohan, he is bound to put a sock in it again. Got stuck in office and missed the NatGeo Wild Wild Fest we were partnering. Cursed loudly at those bloody Mayans. May they rot in hell for keeping the world on the edge of their seats! Made hopeless attempts at cycling. Fell. A lot. Picked ourselves up, rode the cycle like a tracer bullet for a kilometre and got down only when the shredded jeans got caught in the bicycle chain.

t happens like clockwork any firang face we see on one of our reality TV shows eventually ends up in Bollywood. However, Bigg Boss season 5 contestant, Vida Samadzai is in no mood to join the bandwagon. I wouldnt say I dont want to try my hand in Bollywood, but I have my own business that I need to look after, and I have a couple of assignments like one for Jaipur Tourism that requires me to travel extensively across the globe, so wheres the time? If I really have to try out acting, it has to be Hollywood because they believe beauty starts post 30, says the Afghani whose participation in the 2003 Miss Earth beauty pageant was heavily condemned by her people who felt that it was against Islamic law

current season of Bigg Boss and she pours her heart out at the kind of exaggeration that goes into garnering high TRPs for the show. Im not following the show because I found the first two episodes really boring. However, I keep hearing how Imam is creating a ruckus in the house. Thats the kind of drama you need to survive in the house, and thats the reason why people like Pooja Misrra make sense for the show. I owe most of my success in India to the show, but the kind of nonsense that people talk, the way our personal life gets dragged into every heated conversation and the sudden outbursts are not something I can relate to. Like someone in the house mocked Pooja Bedis divorced status, which according to me was

Indian men expect things quicker than usual. Instead of taking you out to a nice place where you can have dinner and chat, they would invite you to a bar where most of their friends are drinking. Thats not done.

completely not fair because why she separated from her husband is her decision. Maybe thats the best option she had when she got separated, so why is there a need to bring someones troubled past into a game show? When asked if all those rumours about Bigg Boss host and actor Salman Khan calling all the shots on who stays in the house and who doesnt, she says, I dont think so, but the show producers do have it in their mind who they want on the show and whom they dont. Also, they invite the right mix of people. So if there is a peace loving girl like Raageshwari Loomba, there will also be someone like Pooja Misrra who will always create a ruckus. But arent those controversies needed to make someone a star? After all, even Samadzai is identified with a controversy... Not really, they (controversies) are

only needed if and when you wanna attain stardom without any hard work, struggle and dedication, else your work speaks for itself. On cue, we decide to switch to some lighter questions and asked her what she thinks about Indian men? She opens up saying, I think they are lovely to interact with and have a different point of view from the men of other countries. Though they are extremely good with loving their families, but dating them could be a bit of a disappointment. Indian men expect things quicker than usual. Instead of taking you out to a nice place where you can have dinner and chat, they would invite you to a bar where most of their friends are drinking. Thats not done.

If someone tries to get frisky with her, she would generally turn around, give him the dirtiest look possible and walk away, or just slap him. .

woman. Whats wrong if the girl wants to pay her part of the rent since Im fully capable of handling my lifestyle and should be able to for the rest of my life? Im not generalising, but thats my experience. Still, Im somehow attracted to Asian men. Our next question to her if a man is attracted to you, should he walk up to you and say that gets an interesting response. Dont pay attention to me, but instead just wait for the right situation to impress me. Im tired of men trying to hit on me saying how beautiful I am. Come on, think of something different because if you do that Ill make sure you ask me out for a drink too. Okay, so what else goes down well with her when shes meeting someone special? A quick hi or maybe a handshake. If he is very sexy and cute, then a soft and gentle hug There was this friend of mine who was gay and he told me if there were more women like me around, we would not have been gay. I think thats the sweetest thing Ive been told. I dont judge a man by the car they drive, but I want to see if a man has a heart, a drive and ambition towards success. Even while dressing he should just be the way he is. I prefer a sharp look, but he needs to smell amazing. While taking me out for dinner, I would like him to reserve a corner table because they are less noisy, more private and no one stares at you. The bar is too casual and the center table is like here I am Thirsty for attention. We made a quick note of that before finishing our conversation.

Amazing packaging Wish you all a very Happy New Year. Thank you very much for recognising me as a long term reader of FHM and please dont keep any doubt as each and every issue is a heart stealer. Its getting a little chilly here in Howrah but you guys always know how to heat up the temperature, so it was very nice to see Sofia Hayat, the busty hottie. The interview of Ms.Hayat was definitely good, but I am sure, like me, many other guys couldnt keep their eyes off this sexy madame. I also liked the cover star Aditi Rao Hydari. I liked her in the movie London Paris New York. She is very sexy but at the same time she has got the looks of an angel. I wish her all the very best for her future. Now, I have got something to say to you guys. Please dont take it otherwise. As I said, its very much prestigious for me that you people recognised me as a long term FHM reader, and liked my letters, but maybe I am not that good to win the title of Letter of the Month. But still, I have always loved FHM magazine and I will keep on reading each and every issue of FHM for atleast the next 50 years! Keep it up guys. Congratulations to Mr Kabeer Sharma and the entire FHM team for the dedication with which you guys package the magazine. You are being passive aggressive Sudipta. Dont know what me mean by that? Watch Konkana Sen in Dil Kabaddi.

Into FHM, Zero Disappointment FHM is unique in more ways than one. Firstly, it features the nicest of girls and transforms them into their sexiest of avatars. The photoshoots of models and celebrities (whether desi or firang) is praiseworthy. I think no other magazine is able to do that. Secondly, I think the articles you write are simply unique. Suppose, take for example, your December issue. Your articles Essential Life-Lessons From Football and Hot, Wild & Dangerous were simply the best and very well-written. It also has something for every film buff like me as we are updated with the latest news of films whether Hindi or English. I am an avid reader and follower of your magazine and scan your magazine from the first page to the last. I also find your letters section very interesting and read the various letters especially those written by Ajit and Kabeer with a lot of interest. I also think, one day, FHM will feel incomplete without my letters as well like those of Kabeer.

After seeing Vidya Balan, Soha Ali Khan, Nargis Fakhri, Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif and Chitrangada Singh this year on FHMs cover, I had expected yet another popular face on the cover, but you guys completely bowled us over by giving the cover to Aditi Rao Hydari. What a pretty girl she is! While she has been a part of various applauded projects like Rockstar and her last film London Paris New York, I think she is capable of much more. And now that you have featured her on the cover, Im sure filmmakers who consider Hydari as a cutie would know what else she has to offer. Though she has lip-locked a few times on the screen, I never thought she would say yes to an FHM cover, but I guess you guys know how to get things done.
Kaustubh Chauhan, New Delhi.

CHANGE IS IN

The day is almost here Arijit because like Kabeer and Ajit everyone in the FHM team now waits for your letter too. Amazing packaging Just got the latest edition of FHM, and the moment I looked at the girls featured in the magazine, I wondered how a few men manage to live without women in their life. If you start giving free subscriptions, no man would ever think of not hooking up with a girl. What say?

Kabeer

Indeed Kabeer.

The guilt that comes with FHM girls

First of all, thanks for appreciating my feedback and letters, and giving them a place in your magazine. Agreed that I buy FHM for hot serves like Sofia Hayat, Aditi Rao Hydari and Brittney, but I know for sure that even other sections in the magazine like Filter profiles , reviews, games and stories like Things You Cant Control At Work are well done. However, Im so into your girls that I hardly have the appetite for anything else. This at times makes me feel guilty of preferring junk over nutritional food.

Thanks Kaustubh. We have many more surprises for you in 2013. Stay with us. Mail your howlers to fhm@maxposure.in
Esprit is an attitude and not an age; Esprit is for the young of heart who live and dress in a style that leaves others fuming.

Too smart A female teacher was having a problem with a boy in her class of 3rd grade. The boy said, Maam, I should be in fourth grade, Im smarter than my sis and she is in the 4th grade. The teacher had heard enough of his complains and took the boy to the principals office. She explained everything to the principal who decided to test the boy with some questions that a 4th grade student should know. Principal: Whats 3+3? Boy: 6 Principal: 6+6? Boy: 12 The principal asked the boy several questions and the boy got them right. The principal then asked Maam to send the boy to 4th grade. Maam decided to ask some more questions and the principal agreed. Maam: What does a cow has four that Ive only 2? Boy: Legs Maam: Whats in your pants that you have but I dont have? Boy: Pockets Maam: What starts with a C and ends with T, is hairy, oval, delicious and contains thin whitish liquid? Boy: Coconut Maam: What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky? The principals eyes open really wide, but before he could stop the answer, the boy was taking charge. Boy: Bubble Gum Maam: You stick your poles inside me. You tie me down to get me up, I get wet before you do. What am I? Boy: Tent The principal was looking restless. Maam: A finger goes in me. You fiddle with me when youre bored. The best man always has me first. What am I? Boy: Wedding ring Maam: I come in many sizes. When Im not well, I drip. When you blow me, you feel good? Boy: Nose Maam: I have a stiff shaft. My tip

The Whistling Pussy?

Santa while traveling in a plane was continuously looking at a womans legs and saw that she wasnt wearing her panties and beneath her tall waxed legs was a clean shaved pussy that was just unbelievable. Woman: I know what you are looking at. Santa apologetically, I am sorry, Maam. This would not happen again. Woman: Thats perfectly OK. I know Im not wearing my panties but one thing you dont know is that my pussy can do funny things... Santa: Like what? Woman: It can wink. Santa: Show me how? The woman lifted her skirt and made her clean shaved pussy wink at the Santa. Santa: Wow! Its amazing. Woman: It can blow a kiss as well and she made her nice white lips blow a kiss at Santa. Santa got completely floored by this and was in awe of what he just saw. Woman who was completely hot and wet and wanted some action said to Santa, You can come next to my seat and put your fingers in my pussy. Santa: Fuck, dont tell me it can whistle too!

rape-provoking miniskirts

In Africas last absolute monarchy, Swaziland, women have been banned from wearing miniskirts and midriff-revealing tops because the police thinks that it provokes rape as its easier for rapists to remove short cloths than something that covers the whole body.

Women who had 50 orgasms in a row commits suicide 39-year-old Gretchen Molannen, who was suffering from a rare sexual disorder called Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD) that results in spontaneous and unwanted genital sensation and arousal, committed suicide earlier this month. Molannen, who had tried to commit suicide a number of times earlier was suffering from the disease for over 16 years after she first noticed it at the age of 23 when one day she suddenly felt aroused without any stimulation. This arousal would usually continue for hours and the only temporary relief of a few minutes would come from hours of masturbation, which Molannen didnt want to indulge in because of her religious preferences.

And other popular variants of Indian chillies that will bring tears to your eyes.

Recently, a chef in London had to be rushed to the hospital after he tasted a sauce made with the Naga Jolakia, which is recognised by the Guinness Book Of World Records as the hottest chilli in the world. In fact, its rising demand from the armed forces that uses it in various weapons is rescuing the Naga Jolakia farmers in Assam from poverty. The Indian Army wants to make non-lethal grenades using Naga Jolakia to combat riots. Grown in: Assam, Nagaland 16 January 2013

01 Naga Jolakia

Not even close to the potency level of Naga Jolakia, this one is a bit fruity in taste and hence is used in making all sorts of curries. The deggi mirch that we use is actually powdered Kashmiri Mirch and red capsicum. Its most commonly used in Rogan Josh and Tandoori Chicken.

02 Kashmiri Mirch

03 Byadagi Chillies

05 Birdseye or Dhani Chillies

Also known as Kaddi Chillies these have a mild aroma, low pungency and is extensively used in South Indian cuisine especially Udupi cuisine. Named after the town of Byadagi in Karnataka, 300 crore Byadagi chillies are sold every year in India.

Basically used for colouring rather than heat, Kashmiri mirch can redden anything that absorbs colour like oils and fats, the surface of meats, onion, cottage cheese etc Grown in: J&K and Himachal Pradesh fhmindia fhmindia

The tiny and green Birdseye Chillies grow up to be extremely red. However, their pungency level depends on the area and environment they have been cultivated in. So a Birdeye chilli in India wouldnt have the same pungency quotient as the ones that are grown in other countries. They are also known as the African Devil Grown in: Mizoram and Manipur

Oleoresin, an oil extract made from Byadagi, is used in the preparation of nail polish and lipsticks. Grown in: Goa and Dharwar in Karnataka

chillies

Nacheti Chillies They are highly pungent, long, solid red in colour and are said to have first grown in Nagpur, Maharashtra. These chillies are acclaimed for their deep colour, aromatic value and pungency levels. Grown in: Nagpur, Maharashtra Ellachipur Sanman Chillies Majorly grown from September to December, the Ellachipur Sanman Chillies are very spicy and turn dark red in colour when they are dried. Grown in: Amravati, Maharashtra

04 Jwala Chillies

As the name suggests, these chillies are really pungent because of which they are always in demand. If you like things spicy, this is the variety you should be trying. They are usually 4 inches long, slender, green while raw and red while ripe. Internationally, they are popularly known as Finger Hot Indian Pepper. Grown in: Gujarat

06 Tomato Chilli

Maybe its called Tomato Chilli because it looks like cherry tomatoes. Also known as Warangal Chappatta, these are tiny, dark red in colour and not very pungent. Perfect for people who dont like spicy food yet want to enjoy pungency in some form. Tomato chilli jam is quite popular in the US. You can make it home. Grown in: Godavari, Khamman and Warangal districts of Andhra Pradesh.

They resemble the colour of ivory and are small sized, but dont let that fool you. Kanthari chillies can make you weep like a baby. Its primarily used in every preparation in Kerala. While its used as a substitute for green chillies in Sri Lanka, Thai people use it to add flavour to their dish and its one of the most exported chilli varieties in the country. Grown in: Tamil Nadu and Karnataka

07 Kanthari Chillies

08 Mundu Chillies
Also known as Gundu Molzuka, these fat and roundish variant has a distinct taste from other variants of chillies in the country. Its called Gundu Molzuka because Gundu in Tamil means fat and Molzuka means chilli. However, they are as hot as any other chilli produced in India.

Hindpur Chillies They are popular for their extremely high pungency levels and are most widely used in Andhra Pradesh where farmers engage in its production between December and March. Grown in: Andhra Pradesh Guntur Sanman Chilliess Another variant from Andhra Pradesh thats popular for its thick red skin and spicy flavour.

1Yasser Arafat

His body was exhumed to determine whether he died of radioactive polonium-210 poisoning and not a heart attack. The investigations were prompted after Al-Jazeera news channel sent some of the iconic leaders belongings that were provided by his wife Suha for poison testing to a Swiss Lab.

The infamous Italian American mafia boss of the Prohibition Era of the 1920s and 30s died of a cardiac arrest in 1947. In 1950, his body was exhumed from Mount Olivet Cemetery in Chicago where he was originally buried and moved to Mount Carmel Cemetery in the same city.

2Al Capone

3Charlie Chaplin

The 88-year-old film legend died in 1977. To strike a deal with Chaplins family, robbers stole his remains from Vaud, Switzerland where he was originally buried. Though the robbers were captured, Chaplin was reburied in a coffin made of concrete to prevent anyone stealing his remains again.

His remains were first exhumed from Valladolid, Spain and moved to a monastery in Seville, Spain and then to Hispaniola. His remains were once again moved to Havana, Cuba after the French invasion of Hispaniola in 1795. After the independence of Cuba, his remains were finally moved back to Seville again in 1898.

His remains that were first buried in Kochi in 1534 were shifted to Portugal in 1939. In 1880, someone elses coffin was mistaken for that of Gama and moved to a monastery outside of Lisbon, but in 1898, after the mistake was pointed out, his remains were laid to rest near the famous poet Camess grave in Lisbon.

6Che Guevara

When the Marxist revolutionary was executed in 1967 his hands were amputated and sent to Buenos Aires and later to Cuba for fingerprint identification. The mystery continued over his graveyard until a researcher located his body in Vallegrande, Bolivia in 1977. His remains now rest in Santa Clara, Cuba.

After the dictator committed suicide with his wife, his body was put in a bomb crater and set on fire. Though nothing concrete has been said about how his remains were dealt with, reports say that his remains were reburied in Madgeburg, Germany at the SMERSH headquarters.

7Adolf Hitler

8Abraham Lincoln

A lot of attempts were made to steal the remains of the sixteenth President of the United States from Springfield, Illinois where he was buried after his assassination in 1865 following which his remains were exhumed and reburied in several feet of concrete in 1901 at the same place.

We as Indians quickly lap up her achievements, but there is hardly any contribution of India to her inspiring success as an astronaut. Her parents, Deepak Pandya and Bonnie Pandya already stayed in the US when she was born in Euclid, Ohio. Furthermore, Sunita did her schooling in Massachusetts, got commissioned in the US Navy, was selected by NASA and is married to Federal officer, Michael J. Williams. Yes, she has some property in Gujarat and her first name is Sunita, but is that enough to make her an Indian?

Norah Jones, musicians The nine-time Grammy winner musician is somewhat Indian because her father was the famous sitar player, Ravi Shanker whose legacy is impeccably being carried forward by his daughter, Anoushka Shankar. Ravi and Norahs mother, Sue Jones separated in 1986 and since then Norah has been brought up in US, so we hardly have a reason to relate to her as Indian or an even half Indian for that matter.

They Say
The fact that this intro was changed atleast seven times is evidence enough that Indian public figures are veritable idiots. The latest one to put a sock in it is the first son, Abhijit Mukherjee who blamed Dented and Paintedwomen for instigating rape.
Too much hype has been created around the 26/11 attacks because elite people were targeted. Attacks have happened in trains and small towns too, but no one talked about it so much. Everybody took this up because the Taj and Oberoi hotels were involved. The attacks happened because our security failed. Everybody knows that the Pakistani government was not behind it and it was a terrorist attack. Our security had failed. We have had lot of attacks earlier, and all of them were not from Pakistan. They were from within also. - Salman Khan on 26/11 attacks

war of the world

Algeria Mali
The terrorist group Al-Qaeda Organization in the Maghreb (AQIM), Islamic Salvation Front and Monotheism movement group, Jamat Tawhid Wal Jihad Fi Garbi Afriqqiya mostly keep the Algerian army engaged. Of all these, AQIM is most active and looks committed to toppling the government. In January this year, the Malian government had to stand-up against several insurgent groups that had been demanding autonomy for Azawad, a northern Mali area, so that Tuareg people could settle down here. The National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (NMLA) that led this crusade and took control of the region by April was supported by the Islamist group, Ansar Dine. However, after the invasion when Ansar Dine introduced strict Sharia law in Azawad, NMLA started a conflict with Ansar Dine.

A list of countries that are always in a state of war with some enemy

Sudan

The ongoing Sudan internal conflict started in 2010 between the Army of Sudan and the Sudan Revolutionary Front over the oil-rich region of Abyei and to date it has affected over 14 lakh people and displaced over 200,000.

Syria

Its feared that the Syrian government might collapse anytime bringing to an end the ongoing civil war. Apart from clashes with Turkish army, Syria has also been battling the Syrian Revolution Coordinating Union up north near the Turkish border since 2011 and the Free Syrian Army amongst other rebel and terrorist groups

China

Israel

The country has long been involved in the Gaza strip conflict with Hamas and the recent bombings have proved that the conflict is yet to show its worst face.

According to various news reports, the East Turkestan Islamic Movement or Turkistan Islamic Movement has orchestrated over 200 acts of terrorism that caused the death of 162 people and over 440 injuries in the dragon country. The group continues to haunt China from time to time, while the country is also tacking Tibet.

Afghanistan

There are primarily seven groups that have been at loggerheads with the Afghan army and Onu forces. These include the Haqqani Network that rose against the US led NATO forces and the Afganistan Government, Peshawar Shura in east Afghanistan, Quetta Shura, Hezb-eIslami Gulbuddin since 1977, Hezb-e Islami Khalis since 1979, Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and the Mullah Dadullah Front since May 2012.

Pakistan

Its not just India that keeps their forces in action, but also the rebels of Lashkar-eTaiba, Pakistani Taliban of South Waziristan since 2008, Balochistan Liberation Army since 2000, Jaish-e-Mohammed and Bangladesh Militant Group 313 Brigade among several other terrorist outfits.

Egypt

This year the Egyptian government kept its armed forces engaged in constant war with Jihadist Salafist Group Takfir wal-Hijra while also tackling Mujahideen Shura Council and Al-Qaeda (and its military wing, Ansar al Jihad) that has been active in the Sinai area since last year.

India

Its not just terrorist groups, Maoists and militias that our country is struggling with, but also the tense ties with Pakistan over Kashmir and the freshly brewing territorial conflict with China over Arunachal Pradesh, which is giving our forces a tough time.

Japan

The warring vibes between Japan and China is creating ripples because of the intense territorial spat between them. Recently, a few Chinese aircrafts trespassed into Japans territory fueling heated debates on whether the two countries would soon engage in a fully blown war.

Dont forget the #

Seven months ago, a girl was molested outside a nightclub by 10 men in Guwahati while the cameras rolled. How many of us remember what happened to her today? What she is doing, whether she got counselling or not and whether the men involved in that crime were punished or not? We are angry, pissed off, livid, no conversations end without talking about her and two weekends have gone into protesting about her the question is what happens when something else, newer, more outraging and even closer to home comes along? And thats the scariest thing. Over the last year weve protested, demonstrated and tweeted outrage on Kasabs hanging and the dilly dallying on Afzal Gurus hanging, about the Israeli attacks on Palestine, Walmarts FDI lobbying, North Easterners fleeing from Bangalore, Government trying to limit SMS usage to 5 a day and LPG cylinders to 9 a year, Pakistan Interior Ministers insensitivity towards Captain Kalia, a power blackout, and the Kudankulam nuclear plant. Weve been equally angry and weve spent as much time making placards, holding candle light vigils, throwing stones at the government and generating hashtags for each issue. And thats where it begins to come undone. Till last December, India and its future and the future of our kids hung in the balance with the Lokpal Bill, then Anna decided to put protestors through the acid test would you protest against corruption at the cost of your New Years Eve party? As Anna played to a by-and-large empty audience, the Lokpal Bill that was scheduled for the winter session of parliament still continues to hang in limbo and we dont give a damn about it. In October 2010, Supreme Court commuted the death sentence of the rapist of 25-year-old college student, Priyadarshini Mattoo to a life term. But despite the fact that smartphone sales for the last quarter of 2010 increased by 295 percent as compared to 2009, we remained quiet. There were no mass mobilisations, protests, hashtags, angry protestors or demands for hangings. Our approach to these issues and I am afraid our approach to even the gangrape of the 23-year-old girl in Delhi last month has been that of the organisation that weve targeted the most last month the Delhi Police. The Delhi Police very often conducts drives against particular things tinted windows, drunk driving, not wearing a seatbelt, pollution certificate etc., so every time it embarks on a drive against tinted windows for example, you can drive around on the streets without a seatbelt with a car throwing out more exhaust than a brick kiln. Only we are a lot less subtle than Delhi Police and we deal with only one flashpoint and one hashtag at a time. I dont buy the promises that this time we will not let it be forgotten when we forgot Priyadarshini

We protested and forgot about everything from Kudankalam to FDI in 2012, how long will it take us to forget this rape shame?
Mattoos rape case or the Guwahati victim. Probably the Priyadarshini Mattoo case is even more relatable for us she was 25, a student of law, lived in Vasant Kunj and was raped and killed by the son of a Police Inspector General. In the 16 years since Priyadarshinis rape and murder, nothing has changed and our appalling track record in forgetting issues is hardly promising. Or maybe we dont relate to her case because we can relate too much to her case her rapist wasnt someone who came from outside our society, or lived in a slum or rode around in buses. We needed something that was relatable, but from a safe distance and the case in December fit the bill. But the question is, will we see it to its conclusion or will we find another flashpoint to not notice if the death sentence of her accused is commuted by the Supreme Court? I am not too hopeful. In the chorus of protests, anger, screaming and dismember the bastard rapists rhetoric one thing is missing and thats a solution. And that is the scary part. As I write this, the protests are yet to go through its pick me or your New Years Eve acid test. Yet never before has our collective amnesia been as clearly on exhibition as it is right

now. The tragedy is that we seem intent on not doing anything beyond the protests and the Twitter hashtags and the columns. Certainly us urban Indians are far more equipped to deal with these problems and change this mindset rather than depending on the same government we are putting to the sword everyday. Maybe the start would be to start sensitisation classes for men. Not just men living in slums who travel in buses, but the rest of us who talk in English, drive cars and tweet. I for one would be very keen to attend.

AN UNEXPECTED GENTLEMAN
So the world didnt combust and we all survived another hangover on January 1. But with the kind of protests, human rights violation and political guffaws we witnessed; doomsday didnt feel like a worst-case scenario. It would be easy for me to indulge in male bashing right now. I could write jibberish displaying my outright hatred for the male species in an article thatll find enough Twitter retweets and Facebook shares to warrant a mini-celebrity status. But I wont. Not because Im not outraged enough, rather cos I dont want to take part in dissecting the issue ad nauseam. My words wont make a difference, your actions will. And if you havent forgotten all about it by the time you read this, then thats a good start. What I will lend my two cents on will hopefully be more relevant to you. A crash course on when no means no, why she threw that vodka tonic in your face and how you can change a smirk into a smile. Its how I teach men to respect boundaries. Lets accept one thing first All men are not dogs on heat. In fact, a couple of months ago Id written in favour of the honourable gents Ive met through the years, so theres still hope for your kind. At a time when we suggestively dry hump a girlfriend on the dancefloor after too many martinis, use our feminine charms to bum a smoke off strangers and dont hesitate in accepting a drink from an appreciative man at the other side of the bar all without any intention of even sharing our phone number with the guy frustrated male friends have repeatedly asked me how to distinguish a coy maybe from a definite no and more importantly, how they can convert both into a hearty yes. I admit I too have played the girl card for the randomest of things. From pretending to be happy high to score freebies, to shamelessly flirting with men solely to distract them from girls I didnt like. Ive done it knowing I was leading men on. Sometimes these harmless overtures have led to fun adventures, but at most times theyve led to blue balls. This doesnt warrant a public flogging, though it does show how difficult it is to be an honest gentleman. But it doesnt discount the less than seemly men Ive encountered at clubs, theatres and malls who thought our eyes locking or me smiling gave them license to squeeze my butt or shove their pelvis on me. Yes, that has happened. Getting back to the topic, now that you know the truth, next time you face harmless female treachery, leave an impression. Im not suggesting you become creepy, but be affable and approachable. Say she comes up to you at a party to ask for a cigarette dont just give her one and let her walk off, rather engage her in a chat. Nothing hinting you are hitting on her, or shell just close off, but something that

Opening doors and pulling out chairs is no longer the chivalrous thing to do, so heres how to not seem like a brute the next time you meet a lady
catches her off-guard. Unless we are too pissed to even walk straight, in which case lucky you, we always have our guard up. We think well be giggly and girly, distract you and swiftly vanish after weve got what we wanted (a glass of wine, change for the cab) but we dont expect you to talk sense. Once youve surprised us, reel us in with subtlety. Dont be overeager and try to get our number or seem too friendly. Instead, get details thatll help you find us on social networking sites (birthplace, school, company name) and if things go well, leave your number. Rest assured, if you dont look like a monster and we dont have a boyfriend/fianc/ hubby, well call you. As a bonus, well praise you to female friends as the nice guy we just ran into. Another major brownie point scorer Being helpful. Last NYE, my friend who downed a bottle of Champagne and then passed out on the rooftop of a house party only reached home because two nice boys we met there took it upon themselves to get her water,

sober her up and then carry her down to our car. In between all of that, I showed my appreciation by giving my number to the cuter one of the two. In lesser friendly settings like a crowded bar, approaching a girl with Barney Stinson-type lines will get you slapped. What might help you is winning her friends over. If you try to speak to her without her posse around, shell find her way back to them and leave you in the lurch. But if you talk up her friends, you are in. Find a man, if any are a part of her crew and discuss safe things yesterdays games scores, how long the bartender is taking to pour warm beer in a glass etc. Men are less hostile to newbies and more likely to get you access to their pretty girls gang (barring sisters and/or their betrothed) if you connect with them. In case its ladies night out, approach them in a group sans an agenda and dont send free drinks to their table or theyll assume youre only looking for a lay. Strike up an easy convo and then disengage, but hang around close so they can spot you. Since you wont seem desperate, chances are theyll come talk to you again. Of course nothing is foolproof, but if you do happen to pull off looking like a gentleman rather than a predator in the making with these quick tips, then you might just start the year on a happier note.

New Year Treat! The tattoos and the out-and-out blunt dialogues are more than enough to woo moviegoers
Vishal Bhardwajs Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola, in keeping with his previous releases, is not straightforward and includes many ups and downs. Sporting a rugged look, Imran Khan plays the role of Matru and is paired opposite Anushka Sharma (Bijli) for the first time. The third pivotal character is Mandola (Pankaj Kapur). Set against the rustic backdrop of a village in Haryana, this comedy-drama revolves around Harry
40 January 2013

Featuring the sultry Chitrangada Singh and dashing Arjun Rampal, Inkaar delves upon the sensitive topic of sexual harassment. To make the story as real as possible, Sudhir Mishra wrote three scripts one from the female protagonists point of view, another from the male protagonists perspective and a third focussed on sentiments. And only after penning down all three, did he manage to give his bold and sensual treatment to the film. Inkaar is scheduled to release on January 18, 2013.

Lets hope the acting can do justice to the hard-hitting plot

Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola

Mandola, a rich-drunk industrialist, his daughter Bijli and his servant Matru, who studied LLB in DU, but unable to find a job comes back to his village and serves the Mandola family. On the other hand, Bijli goes to Oxford, falls in love with the son (Arya Babbar) of a rich politician (Shabana Azmi) and is all set to marry him. However, the union of these two lovers is not as simple as it sounds. The marriage and characters with shades of grey becomes the crux of the much-hyped film. Not to forget, the pink cow (shown at the end of every trailer) too plays an important role. The music by Bhardwaj himself is crude and loud just perfect for the film. The fun title track composed by Sukhwinder Singh and Ranjit is already breaking records. Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola is all set to woo the audience on January 11, 2013.

Stellar Cast!

A good watch Hopefully!

With a picturesque backdrop and an ensemble cast, Broken City by director Allen Hughes is looking like a winner. A disgraced former policeman, Billy Taggart (Mark Wahlberg) is hired by New York Citys mayor (Russell Crowe) to follow his unfaithful wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and investigate about murder, corruption and infidelity. Additionally, the use of an SLR camera for shooting characters in high-shutter speed adds depth to scenes. Broken City hits the theatres on January 18, 2013.

Smokin Hot!

Action, drama and leggy-babes in bikini What more can you ask for from a Bollywood film?
The Race franchise with its elaborate, secret-filled plot is back and this time with a new set of jaw-dropping star cast. The only two actors reprising their roles are Saif Ali Khan and Anil Kapoor, while the others have been replaced by John Abraham, Deepika Padukone, Jacqueline Fernandez and Ameesha Patel. Race 2 features Ranveer Singh, the business tycoon, who is now mourning his fiance Sonias (Bipasha Basu) death and has sworn to take revenge. While trying to catch Sonias killers, he takes help from a mafia don Armaan (Abraham) and his pretty, sultry partner Ileena (Padukone). In the midst of all these twists, there is Armaans fiance Omisha (Fernandez) who is unaware of Armaans real identity and also has some dark secrets. The fruit-eating cop with his bimbette assistant makes a comeback too. While the narrative does have plenty of masala, its the bikini-clad women who take the movie up two notches. To spruce things up even more, the music by Pritam Chakraborty is fast and peppy and is rocking the charts just like Race. The foot-tapping number Party On My Mind is already is gunning for the top position with Deepika Padukone and our cover girl looking smokin hot. Race 2 by Abbas-Mustan releases on January 25, 2013.

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

This Hansel and Gretel is a 3D adventure starring Jeremy Renner and Gemma Aterton in an adult take on a childhood favourite. The evil witch is played by Famke Janssen who from the trailers plays her part with finesse and wickedness. The story slightly drifts away from the original tale featuring the brother and sister duo who are left in the forest by their father and tricked by a witch, but who eventually defeat the evil woman, take her wealth and go back to their father. This films storyline shows Hansel and Gretel, 15 years after their encounter with the witch, when they are hired by the Mayor of Augsburg to get rid of an evil sorceress who is going to sacrifice many children. Directed by Tommy Wirkola, the film has been shot aesthetically and recreates an old-town charm. That aside, theres some fantastic prosthetics make-up and mind-blowing action scenes too. The film will give competition to Race 2 at the ticket window on January 25, 2013.

A Winner?

Matt Damon may be out of the Bourne franchise, but his latest movie is garnering him a lot of Oscar buzz.
This American-drama helmed by Gus Van Sant and starring Matt Damon in the lead follows two corporate salesmen (Steve Butler and Sue Thomason) who reach a rural town to buy the drilling rights from local residents. The task, which is not an easy one, becomes the crux of the film, as a schoolteacher along with another motivated man protest and become Butlers rivals. See it for Matts fantastic performance.

he warming cocktails aside, Karsh Kales unconventional music kept the crowd entertained at the recent Chivas Studio. The Indian-American tabla player who got the Collectiv (his Indian band) with him has been passionate about music since he was five. The self-taught artiste was responsible for introducing the Asian underground genre mixing different kinds of styles to create unique tunes. I didnt have a guru and learnt everything by watching Zakir Hussain on TV. Late Pandit Ravi Shankar was a great inspiration too, recalls Kale. Described as a visionary composer and producer by Billboard, apart from being hailed as one of the most innovative scorers known for mixing Indian classical and folk with electronica and rock, Karsh also has mad deejaying skills. I first picked up drum sticks, however the tabla caught my attention. Then I went to study music at NYU and sort of stood out as the tabla guy. Soon after I started collaborating with a lot of artists, known and unknown, and it was the start of my journey, he shares. His tracks on HBOs hit show True Blood and the Farhan Akhtar starrer Karthik Calling Karthik garnered him rave reviews. Kale also worked with Midival Punditz on re-scoring Bruce Lees 1978 film Enter The Dragon. That aside, his association with Bill Laswell, Sting, Norah Jones and Anoushka Shankar helped him shine. After I entered the scene, I recorded my own albums, and in the midst of that I got signed on by Six Degrees Records and I became a part of Tabla Beat Science the band founded by Bill Laswell and led by Zakir Hussain. Kales first album, Realize, released in 2001, was a compilation of 13 original tracks and got him instant fame, but Bollywood isnt for him as he feels it hampers his creativity, which is why after composing a few numbers he stepped back. With movies you need to only give what theyve asked for Its kind of hardcore as your ability to create and compose is limited and you have to stick to the script, he explains. The 38-year-old was born as Utkarsha Kale in England, but moved to New York when his parents relocated. After shifting, he changed his name to Karsh because his younger brother couldnt pronounce it. Also, if youre growing up in the US, your name can be butchered to be the butt of every joke, so I thought

its better to change it, Kale adds with a laugh. His father introduced him to the music of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, while his own work is heavily influenced by the likes of Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. Today, a total of six albums and 50 tracks make him one of the best fusion performers. His third album, Broken English with Anoushka Shankar elevated his position further. Shes a fabulous composer and a close friend. Our collaboration got positive reviews, so we soon released a second album, Breathing Under Water, he informs us. Apart from the Karsh Kale Collectiv, he also has a band in the US called Cinema Large. I toured with them once in India, but its very difficult to get them here, so The Collectiv was formed last year. Warren Mendonsa is a fab guitarist and other guys including singer Shilpa Rao are extremely talented and original. I remember I had a concert, the finale, and we were suppose to perform for the first time, but we guys didnt have time to rehearse and walked on stage straightaway. The coordination and overall outcome was splendid, and it was then I realised that with this band I can be me, he shares. Quiz him if the music industry has changed in the last five years and he laughs, At least theres an industry now and artists can reach audiences. Unlike earlier, you dont have to go to labels and feel the burden of releasing an album to get noticed. You can just upload things on Soundcloud. He thinks bands like Shaair + Func, Indus Creed, Soulmate and Swarathma are changing the Indian scenario. Theres a Bollywood cult and then there are guys like Raghu Dixit, Dualist Inquiry etc. focusing on different styles like electronica, rock, jazz, blues and even regional. To me this is music and not the actors dancing around trees. All that is fake, Kale voices. There are so many singers in my band who have sung for films, but people dont remember them. They only see Kareena dancing on it or the songs are referred to as a Shah Rukh-song or a Salman-song, he adds. Before we wrap, Karsh tells us hes into books, history and American politics. So did you vote this time? Unfortunately I didnt as I was in a flight, but I voted last time and besides, I knew New York will vote Obama, he ends.

HIS INNER CIRCLE

Of course his name has to be here. I have worked with him on 30 compositions and then in the band Table Beat Science as well. With him I have explored my talent and delved into styles like jazz, pop and rock. Ive also worked with his wife Gigi, who is a famous Ethopian singer. Bill is somebody I listened to and took inspiration from when I was growing up in the 80s and the 90s.

Bill Laswell

Warren Mendonsa

A part of the Collectiv, he is kind of my partner and co-producer. We only met last year and since then we have done so many gigs together. In other words, he evolves the band.

anoushka shankar

She is a very close friend, especially after we worked on the album back in 2006. The collaboration turned into a 2-year project and since then, she has been my critic too. Whenever Im stuck at something, she helps me out and tells me what to do. Like the Punditz, her opinion is very important. In fact, before the world hears my tracks, they are the first ones to know about it.

For me Zakir bhai is the ultimate man and my guru. I learnt tabla as a child by seeing him perform on stage and how he used to navigate. So it was like a dream come true when I met my idol and performed with him.

Zakir Hussain

Midival Punditz

They are my partners in crime. You know we share a great relationship, even though we do our own albums, we still work and tweak each others compositions. And that way, we were always involved with each other. At the studio, they take a backseat when Im adding elements to their tunes, and I do the same. Weve grown together!

Far Cry 3 is the benchmark for all open world games with unlimited exploring and combat options along with life-like graphics that easily make it one of the best games at the moment

ropical islands are synonymous with ultimate tourist destinations lush green surroundings, colourful flowers and fruits, gorgeous women in tiny bikinis; all next to a serene ocean. But enter the world of Far Cry 3 and all your notions of a tropical island paradise are turned upside down. Rook Island is no paradise, but instead its a haven for some ruthless pirates and slave traders. The story is quite simple. You are Jason Brody who goes out skydiving with his

friends on a vacation and ends up in the land of scalawags and cold-hearted murderers. Everyone is captured but due to some confusion, you manage to escape from a makeshift prison determined that you will free your friends as well. The storyline is a bit thin, but thats not the USP of the game. Far Cry 3 pushes the limits and defines what an open world game should be like. Taking a cue from Assassins Creed, this games detailed work is truly a diehard gamers

delight as it makes the surroundings look realistic, but the standout feature is how the characters appear as close to real as possible. The graphics are topnotch just like Arkham City and make you actually feel like you really are in the thick of things. This troubled island entices you to want to complete each and every challenge. We have to give full credit to the games makers and developers for making a terrifying insane villain in the form of Vaas. This deranged pirate is quite charismatic in his

DmC: Devil May Cry

The upcoming hack and slash beat em up video game developed by Ninja Theory, is a reboot and has a different plotline than the other games from the same series.

Each of these missions help you unlock areas, weapons, map information and skills. There are also assignments that test your survival skills like hunting or gathering herbs. The unique factor is the fact that the threat to you isnt just from pirates, but the

also wild animals and creatures that roam the jungle. The Cooperative Gameplay or Co-op is a fantastic additional campaign where up to four players can play together online. This can also be played in split-screen mode with six-missions. The campaign gets two additions the Battle Cry and Booster Systems. Battle Cry speeds up your movement and re-energises your health, which all team members in range benefit from, while

Boosters are life boosts you can offer to another player. Once you are totally consumed by the game and its beautifully detailed graphics, the storyline becomes non-existent. Yes it does sound quite silly that a rich kid suddenly turns into a cold-blooded crusader who takes on pirates to save his friends, but the gaming world is not about being logical, rather its the gameplay that counts and Far Cry 3 seems to pack in just that after its previous installment flopped big time.

Poor Mans ML

Mahindra Ssyangyong Rexton

The Rexton is a fabulous or a fabulously bad car depending on how many lakhs you have in your bank account
46 January 2013 fhmindia fhmindia fhmindia.com

here are two ways to get a double-barrel surname you can marry William, sunbathe without your bottom on in France or you can watch as your company gets bought out by another like Rexton did. Add to this the fact that the Rexton probably has a more illustrious heritage than the naked Dutchess. It was born to German parents (based on the Mercedes Benz W163ML platform) it was then sold off to the South Koreans (the good or the bad ones depending on the side you were on during the Cold War) and then landed in India through an Indian automobile manufacturer. Even if you ignore the rest of the ranting, if the words Mercedes, Mahindra, India hit home youve probably got more takeaway from the intro than our Prime Ministers speech after the Anti-Rape protests. The Rexton is a fabulous car, but the best thing about it isnt its engine, its automatic transmission, safety features or its trim, but its price tag. By now, pros at the price tag war, Mahindra has positioned Ssyangyong Rexton a cool two odd lakhs below the likes of the one-a-month selling Mitsubishi Pajero Sport or even the SUV that Punjabi wet dreams are made of the Toyota Fortuner. The Rexton is a fabulous/ boring car depending on whether you can afford the ML or not. The Mahindra signature is mercifully missing in design (save for a small chrome badge on the tailgate) inside the power train is a 2.7 litre, 5-cylinder diesel mated to 5-speed automatic or manual. Even though on paper the automatic transmission seems to be the meatier one of the two producing 22 bhp more than the manuals 162bhp, its let down by an appallingly lazy gearbox. The automatic also gets an AWD, which we are told can make this two tonne behemoth do 100 in

10.9 seconds. The automatic also comes with buttons on the steering to shift gears manually and a switch on the gear stalk to shift up and shift down. Unarguably, the Rexton is infinitely more fun to drive in the manual mode, which leads us to wonder whether its the manual and not the automatic that is the one to bet on (the manual is even cheaper than Endeavour). Even then, this isnt the car youd go nuts in, or have a lot of fun in there isnt one lunatic bone in its body its made to cruise, crush potholes under its 16 inch tyres and trod over most things thanks to its 252 mts ground clearance. Its what youd call a civilised SUV especially in its fighting league. Agreed the Fortuner seems angrier, more aggressive and the Endeavour has the whole breadbox on wheels thing going on, but thats where the place lies for the Rexton its the car that none of Mahindras cars have ever been accused of the softie amongst goons. The dashboard, though stocked, is lagging at least a decade behind other cars, but the Rexton more than makes up for this by the sheer amount of goodies it has to offer. Everything from a touchscreen interface, rear sensors, cruise control, climate control, intelligent headlamps and wipers and what not. The seats come with the memory function and they automatically adjust to aid in ingress and egress once you jam in the key. That said, the Rexton very much isnt the car youd drive if you were 30 and had the money to throw, its the kind of a car you borrow from your father when you are 22.

he midlife crisis was slowly catching up to Ford Figo and the manufacturer didnt want to make the mistake of living off its past laurels. This hatchback has been nothing short of a lifeline for Ford in India and now after giving the segment leader Maruti Swift a serious scare since 2010, the US automaker has launched its new avatar. Ford hasnt completely gone the Pamela Anderson way by just doing cosmetic changes, they are actually functional, uh, we mean the Figo. The increased proportions of the headlights provide better visibility for the driver as it comes with a larger reflective surface rather than simply improving the cars looks. The bezel treatment on the fog lamps has improved its use too. The Figo looks like it has spent some time in the gym as the new chrome finished nose styling and the hexagon grille gives it a more muscular look. This design trend has been taken from Fords Down Under team. Therefore there is a stark resemblance between the new look Figo and the Falcon, a sedan sold in Australia. Even though Figos design might not be as radical as the Swift, but the new 14-inch alloys adds the much needed a sporty flair. As this car been a great hit among first time car owners, the new Figo now comes with two new vibrant colours Kinetic Blue and Bright Yellow to attract more youngsters. Thankfully, the lime eyesore Green Squeeze colour has finally been discontinued. Ford has retained the interiors but they have heeded to popular demand and booted the hideous coral coloured dashboard and Titanium, the top of the line variant, now gets a soothing riviera blue. Due to a lack of patience, we have this tendency of changing radio stations or music tracks frequently, so now Figo gets Fiestas audio system controls behind the steering wheel. One is at peace when you are inside the car as Ford has added additional

insulation that reduces unwanted sounds or engine noise from outside. The front seats even get new headrests and come with much better lumbar support, so one doesnt get backaches after a long drive. For a hatchback in this segment, Figo undoubtedly is one of the most fun cars to drive. Being a typical Ford, it will never fail to deceive you on how well it handles and takes on corners with full confidence. Not even once will it squeal and protest. The gearshift is a lot slicker now and there isnt any false slotting of gears. Also, it doesnt feel heavy and cumbersome. The 1.4-litre diesel engine is a gem sort of deceptive, because on paper it churns out only 69PS, but the Figo never runs out of steam and neither does it struggle in slow traffic. With the incredible torque this engine generates, the car never lacks pulling power. Both the diesel and petrols calibration has been revised but this was more of a boon for the 1.2-lite petrol engine as it is now more responsive. This engine has always been criticised for being sluggish and underpowered but not anymore. Till the 2500rpm range it holds in own. No doubt it gasps for power once it on the highway, but then the Figo is a city car. Thankfully, Ford servicing and spare parts dont cost a bomb anymore like they used to during the Ikon days. The service network is spread all over the country and the quality of their work is top notch. All in all, its still the most value for money hatchback within ` 5.5 lakhs due to the variety of features available and its drive quality and not to mention, the superb built. The diesel variant is undoubtedly the one to buy for its sheer torque and impressive fuel economy.

wORSE THAN HELL CARS

2001 Pontiac Aztek
This marvelous disaster from Pontiac is a classic case of losing the plot. Often touted as the worst car of all time, the Aztek design had been fiddled with, fussed over, cost-shaved and otherwise compromised until the tough, cool-looking concept had been reduced to a bulky, plasticclad mess.

2003 Chevrolet SSR

Please note the SSR stands for Super Sport (read silly) Roadster, well, only if you are good at playing weird sports. With a heavy retractable hardtop the car was supposed to be great, instead it was grating.

2001 Jaguar X type

This was the result of attempt to turn the front-drive compact car into an all-wheel drive sports sedan, a response to entry level luxury sedans like BMW 3 series and Merc C class. The objective of this car was to reach an annual sale of 100,000 units, where it peaked only at 50,000 an year.

1997 Plymouth Prowler

This beast (ugly one) looked like a mean machine from the 22nd century, with the problem that it was launched in the 20th century. Futuristic looks, 3.5 litre V6 and less than spectacular 250 bhp seemed like a car that threatened much; but delivered less.

he last time Jacqueline Fernandez was on the FHM cover, the Greece economy wasnt in the crapper, Germany were still football champions, Julian Assange hadnt been arrested, Robert Downey Jr had been part of only one movie from the Sherlock Holmes and Iron Man franchises, iPads hadnt been invented, and Kim Jong Il, Osama Bin Laden as well as Steve Jobs were all still alive. Between then and now, Miss Fernandez might not have managed to get herself a hit movie in the traditional sense of the term, but she has done an item song in Housefull, a substantial role in Housefull 2 and a very memorable too-hot-to-handlewithout-gloves role in Murder 2. She has also managed to get herself a legion of followers, a couple of ads, made herself a PETA ambassador and turned Jacky Oh into the most clichd headline for her interviews, but even more than that she has managed to unify Indian men. And thats a tough task. Indian men havent been united in their disapproval of anything as they have been of Pakistan beating the stuffing out of us in cricket and then hockey, Manmohan Singhs ED as a politician and Jacqueline Fernandez choice of a lover. If rumours are to be believed (and there are a lot of them, with each one quoting some credible anonymous source or another), Miss Fernandez has taken on a particular Mr Khan as her preferred gentleman caller much to the disappointment of just about anyone who wears boxers to work. Its also rumoured that the said gentlemen caller was the reason for her passing on Krissh 3 as well as all her wardrobe choices. Whats the point if controversial news is believed more than me, she protests. We meet her at a studio in Mumbai and the discussion steers towards a particular fashion magazine with a gift for making covergirls look awful, her ability to blow comically large

chewing gum bubbles and her obsession with olives. Yes I do love olives, but there seems to be some misunderstanding about it being my obsession... she trails off. In between shots, the conversation has moved to the protests in Delhi after the gang rape of a 23 year-old-girl. Rape, molestation, sex crimes involve thousands of innocent people and we need to make sure that it is not our loved ones who might be the next victims. It will affect the societys growth if the judicial system continues to not react with an iron fist, she asserts strongly. So we ask her if shes pro-protests. People are out on the streets trying to protect their rights and safety, she argues. Jacqueline however doesnt think the answer just lies in making Indian men more sensitive to women, More than men becoming sensitive to women, it is women who need to be educated on their rights.

Lanka (she was born and won the Miss SL crown there), Bahrain, Australia (where she studied) and now India lending her a very well rounded charm. She also loves cooking, still hangs up stockings for Santa Claus to fill on Christmas and apparently loves doing sequels the latest one is Race 2 (shes done the part deux for Murder 2 and Housefull 2 before this) in which shes setting the screen on fire with lan. But there must be some pressure on her to make a mark for herself in Murder 2 she stepped into Mallika Sherawats shoes while Housefull 2 was populated by Deepika Padukone and Lara Dutta which she easily dismisses. Theres only so much you can do as an actor. You dont control the script or your character. You only control your performance. Do that well and people will forget to make comparisons with others. True to what she says, her loitering on the beach in Murder 2 has already taken the place of Ms Sherawats bikini-clad image from the original Murder in our minds. And if you saw the first edition of Race, youd know its hardly one of those running around a tree looking pretty kind of a role, Miss Fernandez has gone ahead and got herself one of those gruelling, bruise-inducing characters. Miss Fernandez, who is at her hottest yet, has turned into a major yoga and gymnastic nut. Surely there are easier roles out there? Ya, but those easier roles have not come my way though I would take them happily! For Race 2, I did some crossfit with Deepesh (Bhat) and he threw in some gymnastics too, which was insane. I also upped my yoga routine to a more advanced stage, she says. We ask her if her character is similar to Irene Adler from Sherlock Holmes considering she does play a con-woman in the movie and she thinks about it for a bit. It is and it isnt, she finally responds. I loved her in Sherlock Holmes. In fact, she kicks ass and thats why I love her. But my character definitely has the potential to stand out as well as shes

dark in a positive kind of way, she says. She shared a couple more things about her role in Race 2 all of which weve completely forgotten because weve been unashamedly staring at her in a cutaway bikini and denim shorts. Its the kind of image timeless pin-ups are made of. Truth be told, weve spent much of the shoot standing and staring (bordering on trolling) and come up with our own observations about Miss Fernandez. Firstly, she looks kickass in overalls, bikinis and military jackets. Secondly, she seems a lot taller in movies than she is in real life, which is the reason why you wont be giving yourself a stroke or get your palms all sweaty merely at the prospect of talking to her. Wed glean more info about her life off-screen, but of course shes not talking about her personal life. She is also not answering questions about whether she is single or not, just to make sure you hang on to the last bit of hope, suspended safely in the space between her being available and not being available.

What is crazier is their enthusiasm to perform at gigs even after 50 years. Their energy level and Jaggers voice can even give Lady Gaga an adrenaline rush.

Rollin Stones Everyone knows The Stones untamed history, however their oldest member Jagger throws some light on things, It was a very different time back then. There was no popular culture and music wasnt an intellectual subject... it just was. We became a part of a great phenomenon and suddenly we were in magazines and newspaper. Many know that Jagger and Richards were childhood friends and bumped into each other after a long time. Their passion for music brought them together and that was the beginning of an era. With Jagger as the frontman, Keith (Richards) and Brian Jones were on the guitar backed by bassist Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts. Rollin Stones as

they were originally called became a new sensation in the Blues scene. Our name was based on a song Mannish Boy by Muddy Waters who we absolutely loved. Later on, our manager added a g making it The Rolling Stones, Richards shares. As The Stones gained popularity, they started experimenting. However, all this wasnt without difficulty. Their contemporaries, The Beatles and The Kinks were tough competitors and additionally, changes in the line-up, the death of Jones and a concertgoer shot dead all took place one after the other. But none of this stopped them. We started off really small, doing what we wanted to do, which was to play music and to bring America the music that was

Your Man, Little Red Rooster and (I Cant Get No) Satisfaction, Jaggers rustic-style dancing became so famous that it inspired the recent hit Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera. Its very flattering to have a song about the dance I did, Jagger states. Quiz him if the moves were spontaneous or choreographed and he replies, When I was younger, mum tried to teach me the waltz, but it wasnt really my thing. I never had a choreographer. It just came to me. At that time I was very taken by Little Richards and his movements. Success came at a young age, so surely there were things that they did absolutely wrong I dont know if we did anything wrong, really, Jagger cuts in. When we started out we just wanted to get the music out there. We knew, of course that if we were successful then the fame and everything would come with it, but it has always been about giving back what we got and getting great music out, he explains. While it was a snakes-and-ladders journey for the band, they feel its a whole different age now. Rock was a completely new form when we started and rock n roll has evolved since then. Also, theres so much more exposure to new music now and so much possibility, Wood voices. Just like the growth in rock, The Stones camp feels their fans have grown up along with them apart from the new fans who have joined in. Now they only meet at the recording studio once in a while. Though for celebrating the bands 50th Anniversary, The Stones came together to release a compilation album Grrr! with their best singles. This album tells our story, our journey and everything weve been through in the last 50 years. Of course, weve had different members over the years, but it has always been and will always survive as The Rolling Stones, Jagger proudly states. Do you think of anyone as competition today? We werent really competitive. Back then we were on contention with The Beatles. I think people thought of them as the good guys and we were the bad guys. I like to believe, we are still, Jaggers ends with a laugh.

tHE ROLLING STONES TRIVIA

They almost became a Rock n Roll casualty in 1963 when their van skidded off a bridge, but it didnt flip over. Their road manager and piano player Ian Stewart was driving. Brian Jones was found dead in his swimming pool on July 3, 1969. The coroners report listed death by misadventure. He had major drug problems and left the band a few weeks earlier. Jagger was knighted in 2002. Richards thought it was very hypocritical of him to accept the honour, since The Stones have always been critical of the British monarchy and English law. Mick Jaggers dressing room is called Workout, Charlie Watts room is called Cotton Club, Ron Wood is in Recovery and Keith has Camp X-Ray.

right at their doorstep but they werent listening to it. We love RnB and it has always been about the music for us, adds Richards. Would You Let Your Daughter Marry a Rolling Stone? Unlike the meek Beatles, Stones were always hard-hitting and abusive. Picking up from their notorious demeanour, manager Andrew Oldham promoted them around the globe. Whenever they toured, the newspapers read, Would You Let Your Daughter Marry a Rolling Stone. While young girls and boys hooted for them, adults detested them. The reason: the controversies that (somehow) surrounded the band perpetually. From drug possession to

umpteen affairs that created nationwide debate, there were too many incidents to remember. One article that led to widespread hullabaloo was about the band urinating in public. In those days people were very easily shocked. Now youve got a few scandals in your daily papers, but back then it wasnt like that. So people and the press played up what we did, even though what we were doing wasnt really that shocking, Charlie Watts says with a smile. Also, back then the industry was different too. If you were in show business you had to behave in a certain manner and conduct yourself properly. We didnt create controversies, at least, we didnt intend to, he smirks.

The rolling stones trivia

Keith Richards failed his driving test three times and sent his minder instead to impersonate him. The minder eventually passed on Richards behalf. The album cover of Sticky Fingers was designed by Andy Warhol. Rumour has it that Andy Warhol also designed the famed Rolling Stones tongue logo, or it could have ben either John Pasch or Craig Braun.

Mick Jagger doesnt shy away from diaper duty. In fact, hes quite good at it. Ive always changed nappies, for other peoples children as well as my own, he said. I change[d] Ronnie Woods childrens nappies. You do these things when its necessary although Im not about to become a full-time house-husband like John Lennon did at one stage [but] Im relatively experienced and I quite enjoy it.

Charlie Watts was awakened in the middle of the night by a call from a drunk and coked-up Mick Jagger who was screaming, Wheres my f*ckin drummer? Watts calmly got up, dressed in his usual impeccable dark suit, shined shoes and tie, pocket scarf, went over to Micks hotel room and punched Jagger in the face, without so much as raising his voice, he said, Dont you ever call me your drummer again.

UNSACKABILITY UPGRADE PACK IAN HOLLOWAY MODE

Are you mental in the head enough to emulate the mighty Olly? In our reboot of Football Manager, after a match you are presented with a text box with space for 1,000 words. You can only progress if you can fill the box with complete bollocks, with as little of it actually relating to your team and players. Be inspired by this real life example [Olly on scraping a win]: If youre a burglar, its no good poncing about outside somebodys house, looking good with your swag bag ready. Just get in there, burgle them and come out. I dont advocate that obviously, its just an analogy. Tenacity and determination are admirable traits in a manager. Hanging on to the job when its clear that youre way out of your depth? Not so much. None of that stopped Steve Kean as his tenure as Blackburn manager became increasingly tragic. Fan protests and relegation werent enough to earn him the boot as the Rovers board erected some kind of sack-proof force field around the manager. Stick this upgrade into our football manager game and no matter how hard you fail, the board wont show you the door. See if you can last until the supporters come round and torch your car.

STEVE mclaren mode

If you fancy managing a foreign team but feel daunted by the challenge of an international league, simply emulate Englands least popular manager by attempting to master the local lingo. Dont fancy learning another language? Dont worry, just speak in a slightly weird accent. If that fails, take the focus off your team by erecting a brolly on the touchline and praying for lightning.

BONUS LEVEL: TWEET DELETE CHAIRMAN OVERRIDE

In this glitch on the game, your success can be cruelly scuppered by the Chairman Override. Mid-way through the season your screen will lock, while a remote source (usually based in Russia) starts to extract players from your team, add unknown names to your squad and insist upon having an input in the starting line-up. Offset integrity by demanding a 350% pay increase and your own private jet. Liven up your FHM Football Manager experience with this new high-octane addition, where your players tweets pop up on your screen in real time. Youll have only seconds to react to their declarations, including: the ref woz a propa nob ne1 wanna help me stab him? and didnt realise all our supporters were such pricks!!!!1! #deadlineday. Fail to delete them in time and face being hit with hefty legal fees, or being without key players due to lengthy court cases.

CLUELESS EGOMANIAC challenge

Take a well-run, fairly successful club and bring it to its knees as quickly as possible. Like Claude Anelka did at Raith Rovers. Bored with being brother Nicolass agent, Claude persuaded the Rovers board to let him be boss (mainly by waving a 200k cheque at them). Claude brought in a load of players from Frances SEVENTH division. One draw and nine defeats later the dream was over. When the club later tried to release one of Claudes recruits, Mehdi Eloudji, he asked if he could stay on as an odd-job man.

SECRET TACTIC: INVITE REFS ROUND FOR DINNER

Not getting the results you want? Relegation zone looming? Dont worry, enter a secret code and the game allows you to invite referees round for dinner at your house, where you charm them with fine Tuscan wine, Chilean sea bass and menacing Chinese burns. Within no time youll notice penalties going your way and advantageous extended injury time periods. Note: this is 800% more effective if youre playing as Manchester United.

IRRATIONAL DISLIKE MODE THE ON-THE-PITCH TEAM TALK

Former Hull City boss Phil Brown is a pioneer, and in FHMs version of Football Manager hes heralded as the hero he is. Youll have the option to emulate his greatest moments, such as conducting a half-time team talk on the pitch in front of the fans, as he did at the Etihad stadium back in 2008. Okay, so his players looked utterly bemused by the stunt but after losing the first half 4-0, they pulled off a heroic, erm, 1-1 draw in the second. Opt for the full-on Phil Brown mode and you unlock the option to choose just how orange your face is It doesnt matter who you are, some people that you have to work with will wind you right up for no real reason. Maybe its the way they talk or their stupid face. Chances are that as a football manager, youll be in charge of some of them. In our game, youre allowed to be as deranged and irrational as you like when it comes to despising your own players. It worked for partially cuckoo ex-France boss Raymond Domenech. He had no time for players named Leo, once saying, When I have a Leo in defence, Ive always got my gun ready as I know hes going to want to show off at one moment or another and cost us.

HAVE IT OFF WITH YOUR PLAYERS WIVES

Just like [NAME REMOVED] and [NAME REMOVED]. Remember when [NAME REMOVED] got sacked by [CLUB REMOVED] even though hed got them to [POSITION REMOVED] in the league? Yeah, that

WITCHCRAFT
Sometimes, a run of crappy results can only be explained by a gypsy curse. Luckily, our game will let you beat it, just like ex-Birmingham boss Barry Fry did by pissing on all four corners of the pitch. I had to squirt and then hold it in while I walked around, said Baz. When youve gone three months without a win, youll try anything. It didnt work they sacked him shortly afterwards.

PAOLO DI CANIO RUMBLE PACK

When your boss calls you, One of the worst players I have ever seen at a football match, you know you need to buck your ideas up a bit. The man-management expert behind those words was Paolo di Canio, after he had hauled off his keeper Wes Foderingham with only twenty minutes of a match against Preston gone and the team 2-0 down. Mentalist? Paolo? Probably. A couple of days later, di Canio was STILL raging, insisting that Foderingham would have to apologise to him before he would be considered for the first team again.

DODGY DEALS CHEAT SCREEN

Hold Ctrl, Alt and F6 down together for six seconds and a pop-up window will appear where you can fiddle with your finances and avoid the virtual taxman. Special features include off-shore bank accounts named after dogs, high-risk investment schemes, and filtering your players wages through your wifes pension scheme.

SMOKING MANAGEMENT OPTION

Some of the greatest players in the history of the game have been chain-smokers. Johan Cruyff, Socrates, Zinedine Zidane, erm, Mario Balotelli. Giving your players the option to puff away on the fags after a training session just might help them relax. Included will be the option take it a step further and let your goalkeeper spark up mid-match while the action is down the other end of the pitch. Perhaps you could play at the other extreme altogether and be like former Wimbledon boss Egil Olsen, who used to chase smoking strangers down the street and demand that they stop.

nervous during the shoot?

02 What makes you

Thank god they fit. Haha, says Elena while recalling the joy of wearing a bikini for the first time. She adds, Youre never too sure where the sample has come from, you just know that it will be small and pray that all those intense workouts have paid off, which I am happy to say they did and well, still do, Kyra chips in saying, I would be lying if I say I was not a little nervous because it was my first ever bikini shoot.

Do bikinis always fit?

Bang comes the reply from Kanishtha who says, I wont deny that I was shy at first. A chirpy Kyra chimes in saying, Though I have worn a bikini at beaches and even got casually shot in it, a calendar shoot like this made me nervous because there was a huge crew and cameras that were only focusing on me. All this attention does make you nervous.

So how do you cope with it?

All that initial nervousness you feel is just a mind game, and the moment you realise it, you become more confident and start enjoying the whole process, quips Kyra. An even more confident answer comes from Kanishtha, who says that since she was comfortable in her own skin, she didnt take a lot of time to adjust to the needs of the shoot.

03

what about 05 What Makes 04 And you forget the flaws that become evident in a bikini?
The charming Elena confesses, I have days where its a good day and my hair just sits right and then there are those days when my hair doesnt sit right or my clothes dont match. It comes with being a woman and I have insecurities too. The most important thing is to put those insecurities at the back of your mind and just enjoy the shoot.
fhmindia fhmindia

Kyra suggests, If youre looking for flaws in yourself, then your brain is flawed. You need to realise that if you dont see yourself as good enough, no one else will. Kanishtha adds, I love being fit and I am my biggest critic, so I make sure my body is at its fittest before the shoot. I prepare for it like Id prepare for a test or interview.

Are you made fun of when you dont get the shot?
Its now Kyras turn to make a confession as she tells us, No, instead its me who is always cribbing even when everyone else is telling me that its a great shot. Kanishtha cuts in, I have to tell you that it doesnt really happen. Even Elene feels the same. There are never any jibes hurled at you, I havent dealt with any Simon Cowells or Suhel Seths. Frankly, the mistakes that you make are evident on the images, so you yourself get conscious about them. calendar. Elenas agency told her she should get the perfect shot in maximum 20 shots.

Every girl is uniquely beautiful, so I never get jealous. I just give my best, and it shows in the final product, says Kanishtha. However, for a more acceptable answer we turned to Elena who answered, Im very competitive in the sense that I want to excel and ensure that the client is happy and it is always nice to be the favourite. Who doesnt want to look the best? Right? Right Elena. For Kyra, it doesnt really matter because she understands that everyone knows their job well.

how many clicks does it take to get the perfect shot?

What are the prerequisites of being the perfect calender girl?

09

While Kyra tell us that it would take anywhere between 10 to 15 shots, Kanishtha insists that its either the first or the last shot that ends up in the calendar. Elenas agency told her she should get the perfect shot in maximum 20 shots.

While according to Kyra, its fitness, Kanishtha insists on a healthy body and a beautiful mind. She says, It is all about being comfortable and being happy with every job one does. A completely different take comes from Elena who opinionates, There are no prerequisites like perfection in the eye of the beholder. At the end of the day, we are all Photoshopped and its a models best friend.

10

Why were you selected over other models?

11

Are bikini girls talented?

While Kanishtha believes her unconventional look made her stand out in the audition, Kyra credits her selection to a mix of the right place, right time and right attitude. For Elena, it was her ability to fit in the vision of Atul Kasbekar that sealed the deal for her. She says, Every client has a vision and only those models who fit in the vision bag the deal.

Obviously, yes! affirms Kyra adding, Like dancing is my talent and it has helped me immensely in controlling my body language and in helping me get the right expressions while posing. Kanishtha goes on to add, It doesnt matter if you have a good body but dont have the right skill to give a perfect shot, so yes, you need much more than a good body to pose right.

Encouraging us, Kanishtha says, I understand the profession I am in and Im very comfortable with it. Even Elena maintains the same tone saying, when you are 510 and the average height of girls around you is at the 5ft4 mark, you get used to not fitting in as such. It is like an easier version of the kids game, Wheres Wally. Also, its in a mans genetic makeup to ogle anyway. (Haha!) Men and women desire models, whether for their clothes or the image they are portraying, it goes hand in hand with being a model, so you cannot really be uncomfortable. It comes with the territory.

Do you mind if we ogle?

This is the one thing that the otherwise frank Elena wouldnt reveal. I might have my own set of insecurities, but yes, I have them too, which I wont be specific about because then everyone will pick up on it. While Kanishtha says, If you know that you are prepared, why should you have insecurities?

How insecure are you?

13

19 thing s

What are the instructions passed on to you?

14

What is that one thing you would like to tell girls who want to follow you?

15

A mood board with the look, hairstyles, moves and the general mood they want to achieve is first shown to us. Then the responsibility is on us to deliver, informs Elena. While Kyra says that instructions mainly aim toward letting the model be herself.

Well, first be sure that you are comfortable in a bikini, advises Kanistha. Elena adds, You should pray to the almighty that Vijay Mallaya approves your look just the way he did mine, and you should be thankful to him for providing you with such a great platform.

I make sure that I know exactly whats needed from the shoot. While the team insists that you be natural, you have to understand that you are serving someone elses purpose, and thats what makes you sensible, advises Kyra. As far as Elena is concerned, she tries to embrace the surroundings of the shoot, assess the mood board, the hair and make-up and become the character the team envisions. I pray that I get the shot right in ten clicks.

16

So how exactly do you prepare for a shoot?

If I am not getting the shot right, I like to find out why. Modeling is a learning curve you grow from shoot to shoot, says Elena. Adding to it, Kanishtha says, Why would you not get the right shot if you are prepared? We agree.

Good for: Rush-hour public transport, speed enthusiasts. Bad for: Any type of bumpy routes or muddy (non) roads. The bike: The most important characteristics in a racing bicycle are its weight and stiffness that determine the efficiency at which the power from a riders pedal strokes can be transferred to the drive-train and subsequently to its wheels. The sole purpose of this cycle in particular is to provide more speed without keeping the riders comfort level in mind. Therefore, the drop handlebars are positioned lower than the saddle to give a more aerodynamic posture to the rider and that is also why the front and back wheels are close together for quick handling. The ride: On good roads the ride is pretty smooth and enjoyable, however on bumpy and weathered roads like that of smaller towns, the ride can be troublesome. This cycle is built for the athletic kinds, so fat behinds will have a tough time bending, balancing and riding on it. You might even have a tough time riding this bike with your 3-piece on.

doable as this article winning the Pulitzer. But even then a folding bike has its own advantages you can carry it to your house if you live in an apartment or up to the office where it can sit quietly in a corner while you set about doing corporate slavery. The ride: The foldy is a perfect bike for those who either have a driver bringing their car to work, left it at work last night or dont have a parking spot its the perfect thing for people who want to date people other than just cyclists. Most of the bad PR about foldy bikes comes from them having small wheels and thus, requiring a lot more effort. In a fit of inspired innovation, the fellows at Firefox decided to overcome that by fitting the cycle with full-sized tyres, so if the smaller folding cycles could be lifted clean off your shin and only tore the back of your thigh, this time your twowheeled steed will be smashing into your shins every time. The upside of this Firefox cycle is that its as fast around corners as the regular un-bendy cycles and it weighs 6 kgs less than the regular 18kg cycles. The downside is that you think for the money they are charging theyd at least have given you a belt to tie it when its folded. How much? For something that isnt going to collapse on itself mid-ride, you need to spend at least `13,000 for a bike with six gears, which works for everyday commuting.

Its a cakewalk
Good for: Those lazy bums looking for effortless driving. Bad for: Bumpy roads and tight corners. The bike: To switch from manual to automatic is a cakewalk, but vice versa is a pain. So if you have been commuting in your personal vehicle, make sure that you buy a bicycle thats easy to ride and not one that you see one of those racers riding in the Olympics. You are not switching to a cycle to prove a point, but because you are health conscious or you want a bit of adventure injected into you daily routine. Go for a bike that has swift gears, broad seats (so that it doesnt get stuck up your arse) and is easy to maintain because from what we know, its damn costly to maintain an expensive bike. The ride: We tried riding this bicycle on one of the bumpy stretches of a Gurgaon road. This bike is absolutely easy to ride, the gears are effortless to switch and its light so there is nothing that you dont like about it. However, in case you plan to ride it like a drunk bastard you will find it tough maneuvering at turns because it doesnt come easy and you need to understand that bicycles dont have the shockers of an SUV, so little bumps are expected. How much? Good things come with a price and you should be ready to shell out for those swift gears, easy rides and the brand name that it comes with. Fork out for: You must add on a pair of indicators, a water bottle holder and a wheel lock to the cycle. Though there are a lot of accessories that you can add, we would say get the modifications and accessories attached

Cycle guru, Joel Natale, on how to choose the perfect peddler 01 Be realistic You need to decide what kind of riding you are going to be doing. Are you riding to work? Going off-road? Doing triathlon training? Youre not going to be able to do everything every bikes a compromise. 02 Spend smart Pretty much the more you spend, the better the bike youre going to get. Although there are some brands that charge a slight premium, if you spend more, youll be getting better components and lighter weight. 03 Consider secondhand You can pick up really good second-hand deals particularly fixies, where the components on them are a small proportion of the whole bike, so if you need to replace them, it isnt very expensive. Whereas if youre riding a 20-speed road bike and you have to replace all the cogs, chains, shifters, cables; thats a lot more expensive. 04 Dont be scared of salespeople Most modern bike shops are filled with people who love riding bikes, and theyre not actually that commercially focused. You need to know what you want out of the bike, so that you dont get unduly swayed, but generally theyre going to help you get the best bike for you. 05 Feel the love You have to love your bike for me thats the most important thing. You need to like the way it looks, you need to like the way it rides, and you need to like the way it makes you feel.

Go for ease

Not for bumps

after you have ridden it for sometime or else we dont see a point in spending a bomb on accessories.

2 Why are you looking for a shift?

Obviously money. What else asshole? Oh yes, my current office is also far away from my place, and if you give me a job, Ill save a lot on fuel.

I didnt want to miss out on an opportunity to work with a reputed company like yours, so the moment I noticed that theres an opening, I knew my golden chance is here.

3 Why should I hire you?

Because my current company doesnt pay, they dont have proper parking space, and I have heard that in case of a recession, Ill be the first one my boss wants to get rid of. Also, Ill be cheaper to hire, so in your budget, you can hire four people like me.

4 And what about your strengths?

How many would you really want to know? You will run out of time if I take you through the list. I approach every project with a lot of positivity, Im a go-getter, a team player and pressure doesnt ruffle my feathers.

I match the requirements.

4 Where do you see yourself five years from now?

Rearing to go forward with my career goals, learning new things and taking on new responsibilities under your able guidance.

While I would like to see my cheques getting fatter, considering the number of times the economic downturn is happening, I wouldnt be surprised if five years from now, Im once again struggling with yet another recession, and working my ass off to make sure that my bosses dont chuck me out.

5 List out your weaknesses?

Mostly, Im extremely strong headed about deadlines, so I would always put in those extra hours in the office to finish my work, and maybe increase the running cost of your office, and the coffee vending machine. While I do take criticism positively, mistakes hurt me a lot. Thats what I can think of as of now.

You can ask my girlfriend, she can make a presentation on them. Im too busy finding out other peoples mistakes, so do you really want me to believe that if I tell you about my weaknesses, youll hire me. By the way, I have met your wife at one of the conferences and she is my weakness, so lets not go there. Next question please.

ANNOYING QUESTIONS THAT HRS

ACTUALLY

ASKED

@ IBM: How do you weigh an elephant without using a weighing machine? @ HP: If Germans were the tallest people in the world, how would you prove it? @ Deloitte: Would Mahatma Gandhi have made a good software engineer? @ Volkswagen: What would you do if you inherit a pizzeria from your uncle? @ E&Y: Does life fascinate you?

7 What do you know about the company?

That you are ready to pay more than others, you let your staff enjoy free meals, and you provide cab facility.

Yours is a Fortune 500 company with an ever increasing global footprin, and a clientele that any firm would envy. In size and scale, you have grown from 500 crores to a 10,000 crore company in just a decade, which is one of the best success stories I have ever heard.

Theres more to building up your biceps than just pumping heavy iron
02

Slow and low

Trying to fit in as many reps as possible may impress that pretty girl youve got your eye on down the gym, but in the long run, lowering weights slowly will have an increased effect. Although you should lift quickly, says personal trainer Joe Addison, the lowering phase of an exercise has been shown to be just as important, if not more so, than the lifting. Especially when it comes to muscle growth.
88 January 2013

Tri for more

Vin Diesel didnt get to where he is by spending all of his time on his biceps. Working your triceps twice as hard as your biceps is a trick for beefing up your arms. The triceps make up two thirds of the upper arm, so the key to big guns is to work the triceps hard, says Addison. Ignoring your triceps will leave your arms looking more like a water pistol than an AK-47.

03

Wear white
Thats right, its only an optical illusion when it looks as though tennis pro Rafael Nadals got two tree trunks strapped to his shoulders. Well, kind of. White shirts accentuate your torso and make you look much more buff than their colourful equivalents. So, if you want to show off your toned torso, ditch that brightlycoloured sports gear and pull on your tennis whites instead.

Get your post-gym munch on

Scared of diving into a slice of cake? Fear not. The hour after youve trained is the magic window where its absolutely fine to have simple carbohydrates without them being stored as fat. These quickdigesting sugars replenish your muscles and, combined with whey powder, give them the building blocks for muscle growth.

04

05

Sleep on it
You may think that an early start at the gym was worth it, but staying in bed for an extra hour or two could have made a vast improvement to your muscle power. Sleep is vital for muscle growth. During deep sleep there is an increase in the production of growth hormones these help to repair and build new muscle. So, whenever you can get an extra hour to sleep, please do.

Wax on, wax off

Whether its your guns or any other part of your body, hair hides muscle and obscures its definition. Former professional bodybuilder Cynthia James says, A hairless body is the only way to show off the details of your muscles and physique. Plus it will reveal symmetry. Were not sure about a full-on de-fuzz but each to their own.

Ditch the tech

Cavemen didnt have any fancy machines or hi-tech gyms, and they were still ripped enough to hunt sabre-toothed tigers. A lot of personal trainers believe that free weights elicit more muscle growth as more of the motor pools are recruited within the muscle to help stabilise the weight. In other words, your muscles are working to control the load youre lifting and the direction of the movement.

Take a break
If your arms are still aching from yesterdays brutal gym session, then let them rest. When you work the muscles it actually shreds them, and its the rebuilding that occurs during the rest period that makes them bigger. If youre still feeling the effects from a previous workout but are keen to get down to the gym, focus on another muscle group instead.

09

Drink more water

Your kitchen sink could make a huge difference to how much youre filling out your sleeves. Muscles are full of glycogen. Every molecule of glycogen must bond with three molecules of water, so staying hydrated ensures your muscles always look full. Failing to drink enough water will make your guns look more like a cracked pebble than meaty cliffside rock.

10

Squeeze to succeed
Posing in front of the mirror might send a bit of banter your way, but just explain that its part of your training routine a trick called isotension. As sports nutritionist and fitness guru Scott Baptie says, Between sets, while youre resting, flex your muscles and hold them for about 6-10 seconds to keep them contracted. This will enhance your ability to control the body muscle.

Words by Kumar Saurav

So you are back in the limelight again, are you enjoying it? Yes, of course. Its an amazing feeling to be a part of Khiladi 786. Im so happy and proud that Ive done the item song Balma, where I get to dance with Akshay sir. Finally in the item girl brigade... Its an amazing feeling especially because my song went down well with the viewers and everyone is dancing to it. The Sigdi song is kickass What according to you makes it really hot? I believe its the energetic moves that make the song look kickass, as well as the item girl. What are the prerequisites to be the perfect item girl? Your body needs to be very flexible to be able to dance, you have to be expressive and confident that you will deliver such a performance that the moment audiences see you onscreen, they will start whistling and I have all these qualities. Item girls are mostly one-song wonders Does that scare you? Not at all, I already have offers to do more item songs, so soon you will see me again. What next? Im getting item girl offers not only from the Hindi film industry, but from the south as well, though I want to concentrate more on my acting career and doing films. Do you like Indian men? Of course I do What annoys you in a man?

They try to flirt with more then one girl at the same time. If a guy wants you to ask you out for a drink, how should he approach you? He can come up to me straight away and ask sweetly if I can have a drink or two with him without trying to be overconfident. How would you like him to greet you with a kiss or a hug? If hes a friend already, a warm hug is fine. How should he complement you? I would love to hear something original that will make me feel very special. How should he dress up? I always prefer an elegant look. It makes a guy look sexier. Plus, perfume is a must and I love the manly smell. Do you like a corner table or the one bang in the centre? A corner table but with a good view, so I can concentrate on my company and the food rather than other people around. What is that one thing that you cant resist after you are high? Im never high, I like to have control over myself. How would you react if he tries to get frisky with you? Depends on what the chemistry is between us and how long we know each other. Well, basically the comfort lever should be there. What is the wildest thing you have ever done after getting drunk? I cant tell you all my secrets.

I always prefer an elegant look. It makes a guy look sexier.

but hey, does having a 5 plus device that can barely fit in your hands or pocket, unless you still flash those low waist baggy jeans, not make you look smarter? Just to clear things up, the 5.3 Samsung Galaxy Note is considered a Phablet, whereas the ASUS Padfone, with a phone that docks into a tablet casing to be used as a

tablet, is not one. The idea of a Phablet is to be able to enjoy the best of both worlds, without needing additional devices (or device casings in the case of the Padfone). Lets take a look at a few such devices available in the market, as well as some future releases that will likely keep up the Phablet trend.

1 zinc cloud z5
In over two days of using the Zync Cloud Z5 the battery overheating alert came on twice and at least once the phone found itself in an uncontrollable fit and let out an uninterrupted hmmmm, which was cured only when the battery was popped out. The Zync Cloud Z5 might not be the pick of the heap from amongst the five phones you see on page, but it comes this closest to the Samsung Note in terms of its looks. The interface is useful, but the Z5 lags especially if you are trying to see videos or are as addicted to Real Steel as we are. The only good part or bad part is that it is priced the lowest amongst all at ` 8,990

2 LG Optimus VU
Everything on this phone seems to be right lightweight, responsive touch, slimness but the design. It actually feels like holding a square box of chocolate. What comes in as a bummer is the 4:3 display aspect ratio, which is one of the very few display aspects manufacturers use these days. With a stylus input, LG has yet again followed the footsteps of Samsung. Another feature which LG has tried to show off with this phone is of NFC tags. The 8mp rear camera with LED flash will not disappoint the photographer in you and a fairly decent battery will let you wander around the whole day multitasking. Price at JUST ` 34,999.

3 Samsung 4 Micromax Galaxy Note 2 Superfone Canvas 2 Samsung seems to be

riding high on a new tune of its own with this new device which is nothing less than a marvel, a trendsetter and a benchmark. What really makes a difference is Google Now, a service where Google looks at your calendar, tasks, and searches, and offers helpful tips on how to go about getting those things done. Note 2 has a very accurate and pressure-sensitive screen, so writing on it is surprisingly good. What we really didnt like was the eye pinching brightness. Overall, this one stands to be the right mix of a phone and a tablet and has managed to sell about 5 million units globally. Priced at ` 34,599.

5 Aqua 5.0
The latest company to join the bandwagon is Intex who recently launched the new Aqua 5.0. The Aqua sometimes hangs while playing high graphics games but nothing serious enough to hamper your game or annoy you. The all black-interface is a treat for the eyes. Unfortunately, the back panel is a bit too plasticky for our liking and feels like a cheap toys battery flap. The 5-inch size may look like it is a handful but the design of the Aqua makes it easy to use. The touch response is almost flawless and there isnt any lag. The downfall of this device is its 5 megapixel camera, the photos lack sharpness. The Aqua is an impressive buy at a competitive price of ` 9,999.

Here is a classic avatar from Micromax that comes with a plethora of features. The phone sports an 8-megapixel CMOS camera with dual LED flash. Despite sporting a 5 inch capacitive screen this phone fits amazingly well in your hand. The low resolution of the LCD display might disappoint you as it makes images, icons etc. lose their sharpness. We feel the UI could have been smoother considering it is powered by a dual core processor. What we really liked is that Micromax has added a SIM management option to set the default card for call, messages, Internet, etc. Both SIMs can be active at the same time if needed. Priced at ` 9,999.

3 brilliantly simple gadgets

reviews

we strip gadgets down to the screws and the motherboard... just so you can make an informed decision. Playing with new toys is just a work hazard
a f f o r d a b ly wise

HP Spectre XT

Meet HP Envy Spektre a really smart Ultrabook. The smartest feature of this device has got to be its boot up and resume time, which is just a few seconds. This 13.3 inch stunner is a great-looking Ultrabook with loads of premium features. For connectivity, you get two USB ports (one of them is USB 3.0), a full-size HDMI, Ethernet, 3.5mm headphone port and a SD card reader. The tapered designed gadget weighs just 1.4kg. The Beats Audio technology and a total of four speakers two in the panel near the screen and two on the underside endow the Spectre XT with unusually loud and clear. So the peripherals are pretty impressive and the battery doesnt disappoint us either. The Coolsense technology automatically adjusts your notebooks temperature based on usage and conditions. With a 7-8 hour battery life, this one will definitely keep you happy if you are the go-getter kinds. Price: ` 64,990

best boot up time

LG Docking Speaker

Intex Aqua 3.2

We have to give props to Intex for bringing out really good phones at drop dead prices. This dual SIM handset comes loaded with a 1GHz processor, 2.3.5 operating system, 2MP camera and 32GB expandable memory. The ease with which this 127 grams talk buddy slips into your pocket and the responsive touch are its high points. Even the call quality and audio is up-tothe mark. However, three things that dont go down well with the overall positive impression of the phone is the absence of a front camera, an ambiguous email display and poor battery life. Everything else in this phone is right on track. The phone also comes preloaded with Fruit Ninja, Nimbuzz, Gmail, YouTube and IRCTC, all of which makes it really usable. Also, data access comes easy with the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. So should you buy this phone? Yes. If youre greedy for features but dont have 20K to spend, this ones for you. Price: ` 3790

On the outside this cube-shaped docking speaker seems to be the prettiest thing that happened to you in 2012, unless you got a chance to personally meet Dita Von Teese (which we did. Hah!). With a built in sub-woofer and 80W audio output, this one seems just good enough for a small room. Though what has really impressed us is the fact that this gadget can dock an iPad (comes with specific iPad dock connectors). With the Airplay connectivity, this one is a truly universal gadget (can connect via dock, aux in and Bluetooth). This gadget also sports a really responsive touch user interface. The sound output of 2.1 channel 80W speaker isnt the best you can get in the market where the Bose SoundDock series has already made a big mark, but the built-in USB port that supports MP3 and WMA playback, and the M radio are value additions to this smartly designed cube that doesnt take up that much of your space. Price: ` 20,990

9 New Year Resolutionsyou have no intention of keeping

train of thought is interrupted by a traffic jam. This whole country is going to the dogs, why the hell doesnt the government do something, what is it using your tax money for? You lean out of your SUV and squint your eyes to read A skirt is not an invitation to rape, mutter to yourself and sit back. This is a necessary demonstration, unlike those rascal pilots who went on a strike or those unreasonable workers demanding overtime. Stop jumping for deals which are too good to be true While you are driving to work, a decent looking fella implores you to lower your window on a red light. He offers you a brand new Sony Vaio laptop that fell off a truck for just 25K. He shows you the laptop, its golden but you can make do its brand new, so you haggle down to 10K, he comes with you to the ATM, you withdraw cash, he haggles more and places the bag in the backseat advising you not to stick around for long. On the next light, you pull up the bag to set eyes on your new laptop and find half-a-brick inside. start Cycling Everyone around knows at least one person who comes to office on a bicycle. Its the perfect way to stay fit, get lean, avoid jams and do your best for the environment. With this in mind, you get yourself a folding bicycle that easily fits in the back of your car. You will use it when you dont have to go anywhere at night, dont need to wear good clothes to work, when its not too cold, or the minute you buy yourself a bicycle lock. At the end of two weeks, the virgin bicycle gets retired to the storeroom between the OTG and the treadmill. distances, India is playing cricket or on Christmas and public holidays. Stopping drinking is easier than not using the office loo all you have to do is sto...you will think about de-addiction as soon as you are back from the loo.
