A Healthy Mantra | Pooja Batra
Jan 10, 2009 Articles, Your Look
For those who claim to be fed scantly with Bollywood films, Pooja Batra is that 5 ft 9 inch ex-Miss India who passed her crown to Aishwarya Rai in 1994. As far as her stint with Indian cinema, she is that ‘Hassena Maan Jayegi’ girl who also acted in the super hit ‘Virasat’ opposite Anil Kapoor.
Presently, the tall flamboyant, model-turned actress Pooja Batra makes Los Angeles cozy with her handsome doctor husband Sonu Ahluwalia. For some, marriage might be a slowing down, but for 20 something Pooja its all a beginning.
Batra also takes a sneak peak at other scripts, while theatre is one of her major preferences. Blessed with the combination of Indian and western beauty, Hollywood might not be too far away from her.
Born in Faizabad, UP, India, Pooja started her career with modeling, typically en vogue while in college. Batra breaks the myth that models cannot act. She said that if models could convey their emotions in a few seconds in an ad that convinced buyers, then three hours was sufficient.

Bikram Choudhury | Global Healer
Dec 12, 2008 Your Look
Spiritual healing is his goal, and the journey has thus begun. Ruchi M meets yoga guru Bikram Choudhury in Beverly Hills.
In America you cannot help but notice Bikram Choudhury’s yoga schools. There’re almost everywhere, helping people to cope with stress, illness and even lonliness. Choudhury, whose humble beginnings, can be traced to Kolkata says, “Yoga is a time tested way to overcome most human ills… when medical science has given up on a person, yoga will help.”
Right from the age of three, Choudhury was perfectly aware of his purpose, beginning lessons under the tutelage of Bishnu Ghosh, brother of Paramahansa Yogananda (founder of the Self Realisation Fellowship in Los Angeles).
For Bikram, his yoga lessons continued even when the family moved to Deogarh, Bihar. He would practice yoga for four to five hours a day, and at the age of 13, won the National India Yoga contest. When just 17, a knee injury during a weight-lifting championship turned out to be enormously distressing as doctors declared that he would never walk again.
