Stop sounding boorish and hear me out. All women, much like
men, have a distinct fragrance/smell that is characteristic of
them. Some have it subtle but some have it strong. This is
just how nature books were written. However, since it’s
bothering you to such an extent, speak to her (no finger
pointing. Time to play a gentleman). There are
ointments and lotions available that live to serve
just this purpose. So don’t worry… it’s not

will be Ajay’s wife. Desperate
measures are taken by the hero
to save his family from the dark
side of the law, after they
commit an unexpected crime.
Interestingly, Saif Ali Khan was
first approached for the movie
before Ajay landed up in the
role. With a brutal movie like

GUDDU RANGEELA
Two cousins, Guddu (Amit Sadh) and Rangeela (Arshad Warsi), run a
small-town orchestra party while moonlighting as informants for local gangs.
Younger impetuous Guddu can’t keep his hands off women and Rangeela is still
fighting a hopeless court case to avenge the killing of his wife, Babli, years back
at the hands of local political leader, Billu Pahalwan (Ronit Roy). When a local
‘PR for the Underworld’ Ashfaq gives them a chance to make quick money to
pay off the new corrupt inspector and to continue their case by kidnapping a
young girl named Baby (Aditi Rao Hydari) from another city, they don’t realise
that they have chanced upon the perfect revenge plan because Baby is the
estranged sister-in-law of the vicious Billu. They set off on a road journey, which

becomes a cat-and-mouse chase between the political power, police force and
a budding story of forbidden love on the run. Subash Kapoor and Arshad Warsi’s

Out on 3rd July.
TERMINATOR GENISYS
The fifth instalment (seriously!) of the Terminator
franchise is a reboot to the series. When John Connor
(Jason Clarke), leader of the human resistance against
Skynet, sends Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) back to 1984
to protect his mother, Sarah (Emilia Clarke), from a
terminator assassin, an unexpected turn of events
creates an altered timeline. Instead of a scared waitress,
Sarah is a skilled fighter and has a terminator guardian,
Arnold Schwarzenegger, by her side. Faced with unlikely
allies and dangerous new enemies, Reese sets out on
an unexpected new mission: reset the future. So, if you
have not had enough of Emilia as Daenerys Targaryen,
go throng the theatres.

BHAIJAAN
A young mute girl from Pakistan loses
herself in India with no way to head
back home. Pavan (Salman Khan)
undertakes the task to get her back to
her motherland and unite her with her
family at any cost. With Kareena
Kapoor as his lover and Nawazuddin
Siddiqui as a Pakistani journalist by his
side, Bhaijaan is sure to set things in
order before the movie ends. There are
no logics behind Salman movies and
you better not try and find one in
Bajrangi Bhaijaan either. It will be an
entertainer with a lot of chutzpah. Kabir
Khan is back to directing Salman after
the two created fireworks in Ek Tha

don’t need a reason to sit this one out.

The European race is a popular
international bike racing tournament.
The off-road motorcycle racing is held
on off-road circuits. The FIM
Motocross Championship is the
biggest tournament of this kind of
racing and it happens usually in
Europe, with events in North America,
South America, Asia, Australia and
Africa. Competitions consist of two
races that are called Motos with a
duration of 30 minutes plus two laps.
DAKAR Rally
The most famous cross-country rally
is the Dakar Rally. It was previously
held in Western Europe, often Paris,
to Dakar in Senegal via the Sahara
Desert. Since 2009, the rally has
been held in South America travelling
through Peru, Argentina and Chile.
Typically using larger bikes than other
off-road sports, the event takes place
over many days to complete.

02 WORST MOTORABLE
ROAD (YUNGAS ROAD)
69 might be a good figure on the bed, but
when it comes to roads, the 69-km stretch
of Yungas road leading from La Paz to
Coroico in Bolivia has nothing good about it.
Also known as the ‘Death Road’, it is a
common sight for buses and trucks to go
tumbling down the valley, especially when
they are trying to overtake. The largely
single lane road has no guard rails and cliffs
of up to 600m. In the rainy season, fog and
rain severely hampers visibility and during
the summer, rockfalls are a common
phenomenon. Walking isn’t that bad after all!

GOODBYE!
T hat time when you say a goodbye to someone,
only to realise that they’re also heading in the
same direction as yours. You feel a warm tingling
behind your ears and it’s plain awkward!
What to do?
This may happen in two situations: solitary or with
a group. The latter is easier to handle because
you customarily bid farewell to everyone and
someone just happened to go in the same
direction as yours. No big deal. The former is a
little tricky as you may have said some intense
closing lines or may have excused yourself for
something that’s really not your plan. Wit is the
key. Don’t just walk quietly, seemingly
embarrassed. Make a joke about them following
you, or that the universe doesn’t seem to get you
two to part so soon. The other party is also in the
same situation as yours, so take this one easy.
You’re freeing both of you from feeling awkward
