“Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.” COCO CHANEL, FASHION ICON 03 LIFESTYLE BEAUTY FITNESS TREND DECODING FASHION CULTURE QUIZ NEW ON THE BLOCK BY IIT-DELHI What if we told you that now you can eat as many eggs you want, that too, without worrying about weight gain! Well, now it’s possible as The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi, has created a vegan egg. This plant-based egg has almost the same taste and texture as well as the same protein level as regular eggs. What goes into the making of this egg? This vegan egg is made with lentils – with the goodness of moong (split green gram). There is more com- ing on this front. They will also come up with vegan meat also known as mock meat (Check the left side box). Right from sausages to vegan meats like mutton, chicken and turkey are in the pipeline. In fact, these meats will be a much healthier alterna- tive to the animal-based meat with almost the same taste, tex- ture and chunkiness. More on vegan eggs... The team of researchers headed by Kavya Dashora, assistant professor at the Centre for Rural Development and Technology, IIT-Delhi, made this possible. “It will be a cleaner source of protein; the egg, for instance, has zero choles- terol and is gluten-free. There is no risk of animal-based diseases, such as bird flu, and the concept pre- vents cruelty on animals as well,” Dashora explained. TNN RICE FOR BLEMISH FREE SKIN Usage of rice water is origi- nally an ancient skincare hack made popular by Japanese, Chinese and Koreans Dr Nivvedita Mahandru, beauty therapist, and naturopath, notes that the discovery of rice as an ingredient for beauty treatments began recently with the popularity of South Korean skincare brands. She advises preparing rice creams, serums, toners, scrubs for everyday use that can be refriger- ated for 10-15 days. Her pick is a rice-water toner for nightcare rou- tine that can give you blemish-free, clear and glossy skin. To make activated rice water at home is simple. Just soak rice for 30 minutes and strain water. Store the rice water in a spray bottle and refrigerate. Spritz it on your face and neck to refresh and revitalise your skin. TIMES LIFE If you have a proper skincare routine and you still feel you’re a victim of acne, then it could be because of your lifestyle. There are many things that can trigger acne. Here are five habits that could be the reason behind it YOUR HANDS Do you touch your face a lot? It can be one of the reasons you get acne. From touching keyboards to door- knobs, your hands carry a lot of bac- teria. Try to limit the contact and also wash your hands regularly. HAIR PRODUCTS, TOO If you use a lot of hair styling products, then you need to be cautious while using them. Be it a hair oil or hairspray, the product can drip onto your skin, which can lead to acne. So, when you are applying any such product, just cover your face and neck. TNN THE WAY YOU USE YOUR CELL PHONE The one thing we touch more than anything else is our phone. Cell phones contain the maximum amount of bacteria and touch- ing your phone and placing it on your face can cause breakouts. To avoid this, clean your phone using antibacterial solutions. You can also use earphones to keep breakouts at bay. YOUR PILLOWCASE If you feel lazy to change your bedsheet and pillow- case, then you need to think again. Your pillow can carry sweat, dirt and oil. All this bacteria in contact with your skin can cause acne. Make sure you change your pillow covers once a week to keep your skin clear. GOING TO SLEEP WITHOUT WASHING FACE Studying for exams and managing chores at home can be tiring. But if you skip washing your face with a gentle facewash before going to bed at night, dirt and oil can clog your pores, leading to acne. Intermittent exercise is cool Heard of exercising in short bursts? Check it out... N ope, we’re not telling you to run the whole day. Rather, instead of one workout that starts and stops, the big trend now is intermittent exercise – in- corporating workout moves into our everyday lives. For example, a few minutes of core ex- ercises in the morning, a short walk post lunch, and a 10-minute cardio workout in the evening, will set you on the path of fitness. TIME TO UN-SIT: A study in the January 2011 issue of ‘The Journal of the American College of Cardiology’ said that no matter how much time you spend be- ing physically active, you are damaging your health if you’re parked in front of the TV/com- puter for two or more hours a day. Intermittent exercise comes in handy as it reduces seden- tary time. It helps sedentary indi- viduals especially as they find short spurts of exercises (10-15 mins) split through the day more bearable than one long gym hour. IS THIS DOABLE? According to the general exercise guidelines, people need to exercise for 150 minutes a week. If you spread it to 5 days, it’s 30 minutes a day. Just throw in bursts of vigorous activity throughout the day. TIMES LIFE 2.

Here’s decoding it for you ALL ABOUT ‘JUTTI’ Who would have thought the humble jutti would become high fashion? The jutti has come a long way from its origins as everyday simple footwear, com- mon in North India. Both juttis and mojaris take the shape of the foot. Both are flat-soled; Rajput women usually wore juttis, men wore mojaris. The distinction is the front of the shoe as juttis are mostly with flat fronts. While traditional designs continue, contemporary pop designs are gaining popularity with young girls and celebs. MORE ON ‘MOJARI’ If jutti is the fashionable cousin, mojari is stur- dy, strong and no-nonsense. Mojaris and juttis sort of over- lap in their ori- gins as a typical style of handcrafted footwear produced in South Asia (mainly India). Also known as khussa, mojari traditionally uses tanned leather. Like most fes- tive designs, mojari too owes its origin to the Mughals, as it was common among the roy- alty then to don fancy shoes decorated with coloured threads, gems, and other elaborate ornaments. Mojaris are said to have been popularised under King Saleem Shah – a reason why it’s often referred to as Saleem Shahis too. One of the key dif- ference between mojaris and juttis is that a mojari is typi- cally a man’s shoe with an extended curled toe or nokh. While a jutti is closed from the back, a mojari is usu- ally open. The mojari is still an old-fashioned footwear.
