A Time For Tea
The moment she stepped into Bengaluru from West Bengal as a young bride, she was bitten by the entrepreneurial bug that had mesmerised the Silicon City for much of this decade.

After having sipped some of the finest blends back home, Pritika Agarwal felt the need to introduce individuals in her new city to the fine and luxe experience of tea appreciation. Over a chat with RITZ, she unravels the concept behind TeaBrew and her passion for India’s favourite beverage.

Make In India A 911 Emergency Service
Three questions. Do you remember all your passwords? For your net banking transactions, to alter your profile, for your debit and credit cards, your email ID s, mobile PIN...the list can be quite endless. Now,do you remember all the helplines that exist? Apart from 100 for the Police, you may still be confused between 101 and 102 for Fire & Ambulance, or whether you need to dial 108 for a medical emergency, or individual hospital hotlines, not to speak of helplines for Senior Citizens, Child Abuse and all the myriad situations we may find ourselves in.

No Fuss. No Fear. The Elusive Superstar. Prabhudeva
An effortless beard. Tousled hair. And a broad grin. The description is simple. Befitting the simplicity that he exudes. For no one would expect this quiet, unassuming man to suddenly roll-up his sleeves and break into a dance routine that would leave us out of breath! It's not without reason that he is fondly called the Michael Jackson of India, for Prabhu Dheva in his own way revolutionised the dance scene in Indian cinema. You may have sniggered at his baggy pants and off-beat shirts. But when the music came on... you just had to bow down and submit. Nothing has changed since. Of course, he grew out of the baggy-do, but the quick moves are very much intact. Prabhu Dheva might be a man of few words, but he definitely surprises you with his genuine repartee.

Fatherhood Gave Me A New Life - NTR
NTR seems to be enjoying the best of both worlds. Personally, being a doting father and at work too, he has scored a hat-trick with ‘Temper’, ‘Nannaku Prematho’ and ‘Janatha Garage’. The three blockbusters have put the actor back on familiar turf – that of a ‘superstar’. A raring urge to move on regardless, fuels his soul and that’s exactly what’s endearing about him. If there’s one thing he exemplifies, it’s his sheer grit and determination. SASHIDHAR ADIVI gets up close and personal with the powerhouse performer who reflects on his eventful journey, family and realisations among many other things.
