1. Kidnap all the polar bears and stuff them into your fridge
2. Give the cattle a strict talk on etiquette and the inappropriateness of farting in public
3. Puncture the tyres of all vehicles in your locality and offer your cycle on rent instead. This way, you save the planet and make money as well. W00t!
4. Save paper, save trees – another wonderful reason to not submit assignments and miss exams (not that we need any, but still)
5. Resuscitate Captain Planet
While most of us are going to be busy this winter break studying for internal home exams, if you do ever decide to take a break then here are a few movies you could watch:
1) 3 Idiots: Aamir Khan is back again, this time teaming up with Raju Hirani of Munnabhai fame in an adaption of Chetan Bhagat’s bestselling book “Five Point Someone”. Also starring Kareena Kapoor, Madhavan and Sherman Joshi, 3 Idiots is a comedy of ideas that is provocative, funny, wildly entertaining and insightful. A laughter-riot that talks about the most important of human pursuits: self-actualization. The movie is releasing on 25th December, 2009.
2) World Cup 2011: While most of us might have seen trailers of this movie, the movie has an unknown star cast and deals with the nexus between cricket, match fixing and the underworld. With characters like Indulkar and Vallya one can imagine what the director is trying to say.
3) Raat Gayi Baat Gayi : Rajat kappor and Vinay pathak are back too, this time with Neha Dhupia in Raat Gayi Baat Gayi. Raat Gayi Baat Gayi is a film about three couples and a keen observation on the modern day marriage. The film should be funny and is worth a watch, releasing on 31st December, 2009.
4) Avatar: James Cameron, the famous director of the super-hit ‘Titanic’ is back, producing the most expensive Hollywood Film Avatar, which cost $237 million. Every scene in the movie has special effects and is worth a watch with an awesome story line. It hits the theatres on 18th December 2009.
A few other good movies to catch would be Julie and Julia, Its Complicated, Up in the Air. There are few movies that release on January 8th 2009, but that’s when the home exams start so you can catch them once your done or if you just cant study anymore and would prefer seeing a movie

- Michael Owen scored a hat-trick on Wednesday to give injury-depleted Manchester United a 3-1 win over Wolfsburg and top spot in Group B of the Champions League.
- LeT operative David Headley’s cellphone and his Chicago apartment were registered in the names of dead persons and investigations have found that he was leading a double life under directions from the Pakistan-based terror outfit, according to the FBI. Headley changed his name from Daood Gilani in 2006 to further his cover, the FBI said.
Q: So I have my best friend’s birthday party coming up and you know, I’m the
kind who’d never wear a dress because it’s so “pink” and “girly”. But this time
something inside me wants to feel, errr, “pink and girly”. So I’ve bought this
dress and it’s got a deep neck. My friends told me it’s fine and the boys won’t
even stare at me. But you know, it’s deep for me. The larger problem is that I
have zits on my chest and I desperately need to get rid of them. It’s next week!
Help me.
A: Oh so the tom boy finds a suitable extreme away from the uncomfortable
middle space. Let me tell you, I’ve seen girls, who never got out of their ill
fitted jeans and loose sweatshirts, look absolutely stunning in dresses and guys
don’t stare, but ogle at them. So please be inspired and carry that little piece
of clothing very confidently. For the zits, you can use the same spot treatment
you use on your face. But my prior research stated this. I went through bundles
of dust laden books in the library(not), to get you the most viable acne-busting
recipe.
So you need to crush two Aspirin tablets and mix it with water and honey to make a paste. So you need to apply it on the spots and leave it on for 10 minutes before you wash it off. Aspirin has something called a “acetylsalicylic acid” to dry out pimples and. And if nothing else works, just conceal it with an oil-free powder or concealer. Life is not so tough and complicated so don’t make it sound like that.
Am I inspired to wear my black prom dress? Next issue will witness amma in a hot black dress and the drab pink sari will be a token to the garbage collector. No, I’m kidding. You guys just need a reason to get excited. Go Conceal!
Q: I’ve been dating only for about 2 months and I think the time to, “lift my heel off the floor” and “bat my eyelashes endlessly” is coming closer. So I’ve been using excessive amounts of mouthwash everyday and brushing uncountably, but it’s not helping. Is it in my genes? Is bad breath in my genes!? No, it can’t be. It’s too absurd to make it sound like a hereditary problem. What do I do differently?
A: This question is so highly rated that one day my fans will “de-fan” me and follow this. Reason enough for you to believe that you’re not the only one? So now that we’re done convincing you against your solitude, let me put forth the practical solution. YOU NEED TO FLOSS GIRL! Yes, it’s as loud as the font. YOU NEED TO FLOSS, EVERYDAY. This one wasn’t any sober. Flossing is a crucial step and many people conveniently forget about it. Even if you brush and swish with mouthwash, left-over plague still lingers between your teeth. It loves hanging out with you. So hit it hard with a gentle floss and tell it to get lost. Erm, more politely, if you can.
Please remember, the only way to dislodge bad-breath bacteria is with FLOSS.
Ø This December 7th the world leaders hope to agree on a deal at the UN climate summit in Copenhagen.
