Roving Eye

The process uses a scrubber machine which treats the deepest layers of the skin and removes dead cells. Another interesting point is that apart from gold flakes, the pack also contains aromatic oils which promise to remove those ugly taints from the skin.

As for the scrubber machine, it8217;s not locally available. But not to worry. For galvanic or ultrasonic machines can also do the task and at a reasonable cost. Both these machines can be procured from local S R Beauty and Exporters who were also organisers of the seminar. While ultrasonic machine costs about Rs 15,000, galvanic is cheaper at Rs 3,500. Orders for the machine and also the facial kit can be placed with Bharti Taneja8217;s Alps Beauty and Care Institute, New Delhi But how does gold work on the skin? 8220;We, its use results in proper oxidation of blood. That8217;s what revitalises tissues and provides excellent skin texture,8221; said the attending expert.

The gold facial kit will now be locally available with all beauticians and the treatment can be used once a month. The kit comprises seven products, including gold aroma lotion, gold gel, gold soap and gold accelerator to be used for removal of dark circles under the eye.

So get ready to grab the gold!Poor Man8217;s Booker
Touted as India8217;s answer to the Booker, the Crossword Book Award failed to generate even a fraction of the hype. 8220;It didn8217;t happen here, Delhi being what it is, but the award did get a lot of attention in Mumbai,8221; explained one of the organisers. We didn8217;t know how much to believe him, for I. Allan Sealy, the man who got it, appeared anything but thrilled. He didn8217;t even read from his book, The Everest Hotel.

But we can8217;t complain, for three of the shortlisted writers did, although only two were supposed to. Sohaila Abdulali gave a brisk and robust rendering of her novel, The Madwoman Of Jogare, and Manju Kapur was more modulated in her reading from Difficult Daughters, but the evening belonged to Victor Rangel-Ribeiro, whose rollicking account of life in Goa of the 1930s in Tivolem, had the audience captivated. 8220;I thought this was a tall gathering until I was invited to be part of it,8221; said the short and beaming writer. 8220;I have some good news and bad news,8221; he continued. The bad news is that I have been asked to read for twenty minutes and the good news is that this is the time when you can take your power nap.8221; That pepped up the proceedings somewhat, but the ultimate boredom indicator turned out to be the complete absence of questions from the audience, despite much prodding by the emcee. Or maybe the power crowd couldn8217;t wait to sample the British Council8217;s generously supplied wines. India definitelydeserves a better Booker!
