Lady with the lamp
By Fatima Zakir

 When we were young we loved reading about Florence Nightingale and her selfless services towards humanity. We were, and still are, in awe of her courage and dedication towards the ailing. She not only made nursing a reputable profession but also added modern techniques to nursing, making it more effective and beneficial. A symbol of hope, love, courage and passion Florence Nightingale has taught us to think beyond ourselves and for the humanity at large. But over time, somehow, the perception of this noble profession started changing in our part of the world.....

 Makeup needs change with every occasion, season and even time of day. So if you want to deck up for an evening out, wear makeup differently than during the day. For a radiant, glamorous effect, evening makeup should be deep and sophisticated. More is more this season, especially for evening. Perfect evening makeup takes just a bit of know-how, a few makeup techniques and only a few products. This week we have compiled some after-dark makeup tricks of the season.

It’s tempting to use a full-coverage foundation and lots of powder, but the combo will only make your skin look cakey and dull. A better option is to use a sheer, buildable base and a cream blush. These formulas are transparent so your skin shows through, creating a more radiant effect than powders.....

Diet & nutrition

 Herbal teas are all the rage these days. And why shouldn’t they be? Herbal teas possess many medicinal qualities and they can help with everything from easing a cold and indigestion to fighting infection and nausea. But when choosing a herbal tea, make sure that you pick the right one. While fruit flavoured teas - such as apple and orange - tend to be delicious, they are developed for their flavouring more than anything else. However, herbal teas, such as thyme, peppermint and ginger have greater therapeutic virtues.......

Art
By Samina Shaheen

 Ceramics is a form of art that requires talent and receives great acclaim if the artist has managed to accomplish the task successfully. When thinking of ceramics, pots and bowls pop into one’s mind. But the art of ceramics stretches way beyond that.In art history, ceramics means art objects such as figures, tiles, and tableware made from clay and other raw materials by the process of pottery. Some ceramic products are regarded as fine art, while others are decorative, industrial or applied art objects. Decorative ceramics are sometimes called ‘art pottery’. Most traditional ceramic products were made from clay (or clay mixed with other materials).....

| Dear Nadine,

I am mentally disturbed due to some issues. I think that I have a borderline personality disorder. I was very sensitive in my childhood, and reacted badly to criticism. I spent my life in boarding where I struggled because I had a weak personality and had troubles with a few peers. Then, I was sexually abused by my brother, which was a shocking incident for me, and I am still suffering from the effects. I am a loving and caring person, and have a master’s degree, and many people like me. I got married to an extremely nice man but had uneducated in-laws. I used to cry when my in-laws misbehaved with me and we have painful memories of each other. I tried to be a good bahu and sacrificed my happiness to win the hearts of my in-laws, but now at the age of 30 when I look back, I realise I made mistakes.....

Decor
By Rubia Moghees

 Your home should be a reflection of your personal style and attitude towards life. Buying furniture, choosing the paint colour, and placing accessories and furnishings around a room is just not enough - the overall interiors of your house should be aesthetically appealing and practical at the same time. Some people have all the knowledge when it comes to interior designing. But with so many options available in the market most of the times people get confused and don’t know where to go to for buying the perfect things for their homes, be it decor pieces, rugs, furniture etc......

 Dear Editor,
Almost everyday, newspapers report cases of suicide attempts by unhappy, unemploy`ed young men. We need to figure out what must be done to stop this suicide spree among our youth. Unfortunately, no one seems to have a clear idea of what should be done. The present system of education is mainly responsible for this state of affairs. Our young men are not equipped to deal with life, as they should be. When leave the portals of the university in thousands, they can think only of one thing: a job. They know nothing of about trade. They don’t have any technical skills and even the science students have only a theoretical knowledge of their subjects; their vocational education is singularly inadequate and limited.

Roaring ‘20s, superheroes, desi zombies and a double role
By Zahra Salahuddin

 Baz Luhrmann’s version of The Great Gatsby is polarizing opinion as does any film based on a much-loved classic novel. The F. Scott Fitzgerald book that remains one of the greatest accounts of the spirit of the roaring twenties and what lay beneath them is brought to the screen in full technicolour glory. Anyone who caught the promos these past few months on the big screen was gobsmacked — this is a big screen movie alright,
