Sushmita Sen was crowned Miss Universe 1994 and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was Miss World the same year, it indeed is one of the many feathers in Sathya Saran’s cap. Saran joined editor Femina in 1993. There has not been a single moment throughout that has been uneventful. Be it her books, her articles, her understanding of women, she is always into it. She merges yet retains herself, a true woman to the core...

Heard this adage, give a lime and get a pickle? Well, not just lime, anything including a lemon, raw mango, green chillies or even carrots can be pickled. Any fruit or vegetable preserved in salt, oil, or brine and lot of spices (specially if it is Indian) is pickle. An interesting addition to this is, seafood and meat pickle too.
Imagine shapely baby cucumbers in vinegar. Ditto, imagine baby, tender mangoes in salt brine. Indian homes or most south Indian homes make tender (whole) mango pickle called vadu manga. A relish enjoyed with a big helping of curd rice.

by Irina Kazakevic, MEd, Certified Yoga Teacher
I love Holidays! The idea of staying home and spending time with my loved ones fills my heart with joy. There is delicious food, music, gifts and laughter. The streets and people’s homes are beautifully decorated. My yoga teacher used to call this time of year “She Season of Light”. And I always thought of it, not just in terms of lights on the streets and Christmas trees, but as well as light in my heart, the light of love and gratitude.
