India’s Superior Spas

Between Delhi's crushing crowds and Mumbai's glamour and glitz-not to mention the countless temples and castles-there's no shortage of exotic attractions for travellers in India. But a growing number of visitors are spending less time at the Taj Mahal, and are instead seeking out the medical and spiritual benefits of traditional Ayurvedic treatment at the high-end spas popping up all over India.

Indians undergoing Ayurvedic treatments will often go to resorts for two or three weeks or more, making the pilgrimage for healing and detox programs that include fixed diets, daily regiments of yoga and meditation, and medicinal spa treatments prescribed by a doctor.

Twenty20: The Page 3 of Cricket

The Indian Premier League has rammed home a new meaning to the notion of a 'generation gap'. With the emergence of IPL, cricket is now firmly part of the 'celebrity culture' that dominates our urban planet. Cheerleaders, film stars, fireworks, event managers, and yes, twenty two players in coloured clothing hitting lots of sixes: the purists may be alarmed, but the fact is that 'cricketainment' is finally a recognised industry.

In a sense, Twenty20 is to cricket what Page 3 is to journalism: fast, exciting, but also, often vacuous and titillating.

Every second child thinks green

It may pleasantly surprise parents worried about brats brought up on a daily diet of violent cartoons. Not only are the majority of children in urban India politically correct, they are also extremely environmentally sensitive.

The 2008 results of New Generations — Cartoon Network’s kid’s lifestyle research — say that every second Indian child is concerned with global warming. Three out of four children are pre-disposed to buying environment-friendly products and that given the power to change the world, one of three kids would want to stop violence. Twenty five per cent want to save endangered species and help reduce environmental problems.
