Making desserts healthy is a constant challenge these days, but some of these restaurateurs and dessert chains have decided to make the impossible happen. From sugarfree options to vegan goodness, controlled calorie offerings and natural ingredients, desserts are not guilty pleasures anymore.
Nawaz Calling Kalki
If there is one actor in the past few years who has managed to make a transition from being on the sidelines to the centre of attention, it has to be Nawazuddin Siddiqui. And, if there is one actress who has maintained the perfect balance between commercial films and indie cinema, it’s Kalki Koechlin. We thought it would be a great idea to bring them together to discuss cinema, their preparation processes for roles and to talk about the most challenging on-screen experiences they have had.

The Dependable Mr. Khurrana
After a career resurrection of sorts in 2017, Ayushmann Khurrana knocked it out of the park last year, delivering two smashing performances (Andhadhun, Badhaai Ho) in films that won over critics and the box office. From the ‘common man’ representative to becoming one of the poster boys of quality — and commercially viable — cinema, Khurrana has proved that he has enough acting muscle to shoulder solo projects. This year, he has a number of releases, making him possibly the busiest actor in the industry. He’s bringing in the new age of Bollywood — intelligent, socially conscious and dedicated to the medium.
The Making Of Virat Kohli
At the age of 30, Virat Kohli is already one of the all-time great batsmen, terrorising bowlers and shattering batting records in every format of the game, in every corner of the cricketing world. Every behemoth started somewhere, though, and for Kohli, his beginnings were in the rough-and-tumble of Delhi’s age-grade and domestic cricket circuits. Even as a 10-year old at his first cricket coaching camp, his special talent was recognised by coaches and experienced players alike. In this excerpt from their book Virat: The Making Of A Champion, journalists Neeraj Jha and Vidhanshu Kumar illustrate the young Kohli’s immense potential.
The Men Who Are Gay For Pay
Young male models and struggling actors — who are straight — are willing to go ‘gay-for-pay’ on various LGBT dating and hookup apps in the country. While prostitution has always been a hush-hush affair on these apps, for the last two years, it has become a rather prominent feature. This might be because of a dearth of paid gigs and sky-high living costs in big cities, but is it also a marker for a paradigm shift in sexuality and sexual behaviour?
Kia Set For India Debut
The Korean car manufacturer will launch its India-specific compact SUV named Kia Seltos next month.
The Well ‘Connected' SUV
The new Hyundai Venue is more than just another compact SUV. Blue Link, its standout feature, allows a host of key functions — including engine start, location tracking, speed, tyre pressure, remote lock, engine immobilization — to be monitored and controlled from a smartphone app.
Guru Randhawa- The King Of Clubs
Bollywood music can be best described as “Zumba-ready” these days. While the last two decades saw a wave of original music, timeless melodies and rich lyrics, today’s OSTs are for quick ear munching. Music is consumed at pubs, during drives and at the gym – and Guru Randhawa is both an example of and exception to this pop culture behaviour. He’s everywhere, and it is (aslmost) impossible to hate him.
A (big) Small Car
Volvo’s XC40 is its smallest SUV, but it certainly doesn’t act like it.

The Legendary Rivalry Revisited
They were the two greatest sitar players of the post-independence generation and lifelong adversaries. Vilayat Khan and Ravi Shankar were contemporaries who played together on stage only once, in 1952, when the former stole the show. Journalist and author Namita Devidayal explores this unique rivalry in The Sixth String of Vilayat Khan (Westland Publications), her brilliant new biography of the mercurial Hindustani classical musician, from which this piece is excerpted.

Is There Redemption For The #MeTooIndia Accused?
I have had a huge amount of difficulty finishing this piece. I’ve written and rewritten this three to four times, deleting the entire thing a few times as well. I don’t think it has been because I have nothing to say; I have a lot to say, but I genuinely do not know how to say it without sounding insincere...
