NET NATTER Want to try something different at a tennis match (at your own risk, of course)?

As the flower-power era of love and peace was revisited, the music — George Harrison’s and others besides our very own desi Hare Rama Hare Krishna numbers — added rhythm Ajay Kakkar, Ryuhei Kono & Jai Panda to the mood of nostalgia.

he search was for the best tresses in TBollywood and the chance was to win a date with the lady who owns those locks. As part of a promotion of the newly launched Head & Shoul- ders Silky Black Sham- poo, a contest was launched online in asso- ciation with Indiatimes, recently. For those who have been secretly dreaming of taking a Bollywood diva out for a date, this was a chance never-to-miss.

More so, because the con- test was a simple one and participants could vote online at Indiatimes.com or via SMS to 8888. The response to the contest was overwhelm- ing; and pretty lady Tara Sharma emerged as the unanimous choice of 20,146 online voters and 30,835 SMS voters. The winner? Abhiraj Gandhi, a budding lawyer was the lucky one to have won the privilege of Tara Shar- ma’s company in an ex- clusive date. As for other winning participants, there were free hampers of the new Head & Shoul- ders Silky Black sham- poo to grab. THE ESSENCE OF LIFE... ife and its essence. That’s what the new works of LNiren Sengupta which were unfurled in the midst of a small gathering recently, were all about. The exhibition, which traces Niren’s journey towards self- realisation, was inaugurated by Ashok Logani, and was then joined in by the Hollands, Peter

Subroto and Nupur Kundu and Judith, of the British High Commission who went around for a closer look at the paint- ings. The artist himself stood back and enjoyed the expres- sions on his guests’ faces as they looked at his works. Amongst those who were there to explore the essence of Niren’s work, were Harshvard- han, Subroto Kundu with Nupur and Jagdish Chander.

Physicist Peter Barham says his heat- transfer equation accounts for every rele- vant variable, including the difference in temperature between fridge and oven. It also accounts for the ratio of the specific heat of the turkey to the specific heat of the air, and the radius, girth and precise physi- cal geometry of the turkey. He said breast meat benefits from cooking at a high temperature to bring out the flavour, while legs and wings are bet- ter cooked for longer at lower temper- atures.

This will tell us how normal the gamete (sperm) really is.” The research is the first example of sperm being made in a laboratory. Earlier this year, US scientists reported making fe- male gametes — eggs — from mouse stem cells taken from embryos. However, so far they have not proven capable of being fer- tilised by sperm.
