I am quite old school and when it comes to relationships, I don’t believe in backing out. I am going to work on this marriage till I die,” says Sheena.


The couple’s wedding festivities began two days ago with haldi, sangeet, mehendi, shagun and ring ceremonies.

Pre-wedding ceremonies in the Pink City for Sheena-Rohit







TV couple Sheena Bajaj and Rohit Purohit — he played Alexander on Porus — have been making the most of their time in Jaipur, where they tied the knot on Tuesday, following a courtship of five years.

The pre-wedding functions kick-started with haldi, sangeet, mehendi, shagun and a ring ceremony. The rituals were a combination of Punjabi and Rajasthani traditions, as Sheena is a Punjabi and Rohit is from Rajasthan.


The groom shares, “Jaipur is my hometown and I love the winters here. This was the perfect time to have the wedding. Besides, it’s always fun to binge on delicious food in this weather.”

While the couple danced to the title track of Dhadak, Rohit crooned Janam Janam (Dilwale), at their sangeet ceremony. Their industry friends, including Aniruddh Dave, Saurabh Pandey with wife Zara Soni Barring, Aarti Chabria, Mohit Daga and Himanshu Soni, attended the do.

ISRAELI WOMAN STUMBLES UPON ROMAN BUSTS


An Israeli woman walking near ancient ruins noticed a head sticking out of the ground, leading to the uncovering of two Roman-era busts, archaeologists said on Sunday. The life-size sculptures, carved in limestone, were found in the northern city of Beit Shean earlier this month, with the Israel Antiquities Authority dating them to the late Roman period, some 1,700 years ago. The sculptures emerged north of Beit Shean’s national park, where the ruins of a Roman and Byzantine city lie, probably thanks to the recent rains.

The finder would receive a ‘certificate of appreciation’ for her good citizenship in reporting her find to the authorities rather than taking them for herself

Why tattoos digitally recreated on athletes’ avatars are a problem




When LeBron James bounds down a basketball court, he is both a transcendent athlete and a prominent palette for dozens of tattoos. His mother’s name, Gloria, rests on a crown on his right shoulder and his forearms bear a portrait of his son LeBron Jr. and 330, an area code for his hometown, Akron, Ohio.

Although those tattoos have personal connections, they may not truly be his.


Any creative illustration “fixed in a tangible medium” is eligible for copyright, and, according to the United States Copyright Office, that includes the ink displayed on someone’s skin. What many people don’t realise, legal experts said, is that the copyright is inherently owned by the tattoo artist, not the person with the tattoos.

Lawyers generally agree that an implied licence allows people to freely display their tattoos in public, including on television broadcasts or magazine covers. But when tattoos are digitally recreated on avatars in sports video games, copyright infringement can become an issue.

“Video games are an entirely new area,” said Michael A. Kahn, a copyright lawyer. “There is LeBron James, but it’s not LeBron James. It’s a cartoon version of him.”

Electronic Arts, a game developer and publisher, recreates over 100 tattoos in its FIFA and UFC games, including the colourful sleeve on the right arm of soccer star Lionel Messi and a heart-eating gorilla on fighter Conor McGregor’s chest. Yet only a handful of players in its Madden football games are depicted with their real-life ink.

Players’ unions, many of which license the players’ likenesses to video game publishers, has advised athletes to secure licensing agreements before they get tattooed. Artists have an incentive to sign rather than

pass up a client who could be a billboard for their work.

Gotti Flores said he spent at least 40 hours tattooing NFL receiver Mike Evans. He was surprised, he said, that he had to give permission for his work to be reproduced in the game. “Really it didn’t even matter to me,” said Flores, who signed a waiver for no compensation.

Not all tattoo licensing happens so amicably. At least three lawsuits have been filed against Take-Two Interactive, a game developer, and a subsidiary, 2K Games. Although video game companies already pay to license copyrighted music, they may want to avoid the cost of negotiating with hundreds of artists for rights to their tattoos.

For wedding guests, now a hair and glam touch-up at venues



The women’s bathrooms and lounges at wedding receptions are often filled with guests who are sweaty and sometimes disheveled from a long day and night of activities or a few spins on the dance floor.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a hair and makeup artist on hand to re-pin an updo, touch up eye shadow or brighten up lips? Some couples are booking beauty companies for their guests and providing other glamour-focused amenities.


“If you think about it, once you’ve been to the church, in the bus, then get to the reception and go to the restroom, that’s a lot — especially if it’s 100 degrees outside,” said Tara Guerard, an event planner and designer. She added, “If there’s someone there to fix your hair and take away your sweat, it’s awesome.”

Guerard, who runs Tara Guérard Soirée, recently started incorporating beauty bars in the ladies’ bathrooms at the receptions of weddings she organises. She collaborates with a local freelance makeup artist and hair stylist, Deidre Outlaw, who came up with the idea.

The two noted that the service is particularly successful in hot summer months or generally warm weather.

Brittany Lo, founder of Beautini, a hair and makeup business in New York City, also offers beauty amenities to guests at weddings and other social events. “People run to the bathroom every 10 dances to make sure that their makeup is in place and they don’t look like a hot mess,” Lo said. “This provides a next-level service for them: Someone else quickly does it, and then the guest runs back out to the dance floor.”

The beauty bar and allday glam squad doesn’t come cheaply, however. Hourly prices are typically $100 to $250 per stylist.

But there are less expensive ways to incorporate these ideas. Guerard likes to hand out cool towels on the dance floor during humid summer months. “All the small things are affordable, and people really appreciate the thought,” she said.

Pre-wedding skincare tips for brides-to-be!


1/7 Skincare dos and don'ts for brides-to-be!

As you get closer to your wedding day, it's important to pay attention to your skin, as it needs to look the best. If you want a radiant skin and want to have the best photos, then we have a skin care plan for you. We've charted the dos and don'ts of skincare tips to follow a few months before the big day:

2/7​ Avoid invasive treatments

If you have been getting any invasive treatments, it's better you avoid them right now. From chemical peels to laser, steer clear from aggressive treatments. A lot of brides-to-be indulge in invasive treatments, which take months to show results and that's why you should avoid them during this crucial time.

3/7​ Don't touch your face

If you get a pimple, just relax! Acne scars can take months to fade and that's why you must avoid pricking the pimples. Go for spot-treatments and if there is any scar left, you can use the pure form of aloe vera gel on a daily basis.



4/7 Use gentle skincare

A lot of brides-to-be indulge in expensive skincare creams, serums and what not just a few months before the wedding. However, experimenting with intensive skincare products can be a risk. Stick to gentle and natural potions.

5/7​ Get your sleep

A good sleep will combat dark circles and also relive stress, which can lead to pimples. A proper sleep will keep you calm and relieved.

6/7​ Reduce alchol intake

Just a few days before the wedding, try to reduce your alcohol intake. If drinking, make sure you drink enough water along with it. This way you can avoid swollen face and puffy eyes.

7/7​ Go for trusted facials

If you go for a facial a few days before the big day, make sure you go for tried and tested facials. Avoid over-exfoliation and go for gentle cleansing instead. You can also indulge in face masks to get smoother and nourished skin.

A blind pimple doesn't appear on the surface on the skin. It's a bump, where the acne is formed under the skin. Such kind of a pimple is painful. The pain is caused due to the pressure the bump is causing under the skin. That's why the surface above the bump is sensitive and shouldn't be touched and pricked. You can easily feel the bump but can't see it!


2/7​Why does it happen?

Such acne happens due to the build-up of bacteria and sebum. If you have large pores and oily skin, blind pimples can happen easily and also when proper cleansing is not done. The bacteria gets trapped under the pore and forms deeper down in the skin.

3/7​How long do they last?

If they remain under the skin, then the acne can take months to disappear. If they start to inflame, then it might appear on the surface of the skin and can disappear easily.


4/7How to handle

Picking and squeezing will only make this kind of acne worse, so no matter what, don't touch! A blind pimple needs to be calmed and they are actually just impossible to pop. Trying to squeeze will cause pain, increase inflammation and even lead to major scarring. The best way to treat them is to visit a dermatologist. You can also try the following things to treat it at home:

5/7Try salicylic acid

The acid is known to be one the best acne fighters. It helps to dry a pimple. For blind pimples, you can use cleansers infused with this ingredient. If you have really sensitive and dry skin, use the product only on the concerned area.

6/7Calm the inflammation

If a pimple causes too much pain, then use ice therapy. Wash your face with a salicylic acid cleanser like mentioned above. After cleansing, use an ice pack 2-3 times in one hour's time. It will help to cool the area, relieve the pain and also reduce the swelling.

7/7Destroy the bacteria

You can also try benzoyl peroxide, which helps to kill the bacteria. You can try this for big cystic big pimples. However, stay cautious and use this product properly. Make sure you moisturise the area and do spot-treatment only. Also, use it less and if it stings, wash it off immediately.
