ISFANDYAR ZAMAN The summer is upon us and the world has conspired to make it even harder for us to get away. Let us say that we have made some plans and thus firstly, barring Sri Lanka (which I recommend) and a few other spots (which I don’t recommend), we need to gather forces to get the holy visas. This process itself will take months and involve proving beyond any reasonable doubt that you will not lock yourself onto one of the bridges the crisscross the Seine in Paris. Secondly, it’s the tickets and sadly now if we are heading west we have to fly one of the gulf carriers which will shuttle us at ungodly hours. Thirdly, you have to now dash to your DHO (District Health Officer) to get the polio vaccine and soon every other communicable disease’s vaccine.

Lastly you have to get to the airport and board. Now if you had done the first three steps the forth one should be a breeze. But wait a second we forgot about our dear brothers the TTP), they may just spoil your plans for picking up some iittala during the Helsinki design week. If we are still hell bent on negotiating with the peace loving TTP then please do get a commitment not to bomb any transport centres, hey some of us still take the bus for a vaca!

Luckily by virtue of Qatar Airways I had whisked away long ago the last attack. The last trip back to the US was short however long enough to note the urban regeneration happening there. Few years ago, going east of 16th street NW in Washington D.C. was a sure 46

shot recipe of getting mugged, now however it’s a mix between hipster heaven and yuppie yuck. If you do find yourself in this grand capital then I would urge to head to Shaw. Have some fresh oysters at Eat the Rich, taste some sherry at Mockingbird Hill and then dance it all off at Flash. DC is also however home to Rasika, which is Ashok Bajaj’s signature output. It has the best fried spinach chaat, one can ever lay ones taste buds upon and the fusion desi cuisine just works (barring the eggplant). Be sure to go with some friends (thanks Gabi, Shanti) so that you can taste amply. The flight out of the US was however a pain. The check in counter manager at United (also a Mr. Khan), would refuse to recognise my documents and would not let me board. After an hour of haggling about why not all documents have to be identical, I had missed my flight. Thankfully I am resourceful and the other fellow Pakistani at Lufthansa was able to help out. Note to self: never fly a US airline.

Back on the Continent, the Adriatic is still all the rage. Though the buzz has now moved to the Albanian Rivera, the Croatian coast line can still hold its own against any other. The country has a number of lovely towns sprinkled all over. In Zadar, be sure to take a midnight stroll along the waterfront promenade and spend a good fifteen minutes taking in the music belted out by the Sea organ. It is a musical contraption that plays music by way of sea waves and tubes located underneath the marble steps. The city has a few decent places to stay but the Falkensteiner Hotel and Spa located around 25 minutes away is the place to stay if you want to unwind. Speaking of hotels the Esplanade in Zagreb still oozes the charm of a once grand stop on the Orient Express. Whilst in Zagreb, once you done eating all the black risotto and grilled squid at Korcula (great food but predictable), head to Mundoaka where Sam’s establishment brings global street food to Zagreb. They crushed roasted coriander seeds on the Burrata, my question is who thought of that? It is truly truly amazing.

Prasac is also still good however Dino’s new place called 4/5 is rated more like 2/5. Croatia does pack in a lot of a country of only 4 million lovely people. If you feel like being on spring bring then head to Zrce beach on Pag and though the Boskinac is a lovely place to stay and Pag Lamb the most succulent ever, I would veer away from this Island (as Jukkis and I learned after the fact). If you are into design hotels then the newly opened Lone hotel in Rovinj is a feast for the senses.

Though a bit steep on the pocket, the sensitivity it shows to its surrounding and the calm it portrays make it worthwhile.

On the entertainment front, I am still enthralled by the Game of Thrones; however my favourites keep getting killed off. I also just finished Saba Imtaz’s Karachi you’re killing me. A good read and I look forward to more of her work.

Till we meet again and in the meantime may we all live in peace and not pieces.

yo u don ’t need to was h your levi ’ s ®

s ays ceo chi p bergh

has always been an innovative brand. They have supported upcoming musicians, collaborated with talented artists and continued to reinvent jeans while sticking to their core values. With Levi’s® CEO’s latest confession, you know that this brand isn’t just in it for the money. Levi’s® genuinely cares!

At the recent Fortune’s Brainstorm Green Conference Levi’s® CEO, Chip Bergh confessed that ‘he does not wash his jeans’. In order to be eco-friendly and save water, Levi’s® introduced their stone washed jeans, smoothed with rocks but no water, back in 2011. Guess what? They practice what they preach.

Chip Bergh openly stated that he hasn’t washed his jeans in over a year and he isn’t the only one. Fashion designer, Tommy Hilfiger is also part of the same bandwagon along with journalist Anderson Cooper. In fact it is advised by some to put ones jeans in the freezer if they start to smell, instead of washing them. "These jeans are maybe a year old and these have yet to see a washing machine," said Chip of the pair he wore during a chat onstage at the conference. "I know that sounds totally disgusting." He recommended spot cleaning jeans with a sponge or toothbrush and a bit of detergent, rather than using water. He added that less washing equals greater environmental sustainability.

So are you up for the challenge? What better way is there to prevent your mum or spouse from throwing your jeans in the wash than telling them they’re your Levi’s® and are designed to not be washed! Give it a try, come up with an alternate way of keeping your Levi’s® clean, and don’t go a single day without wearing your favourite pair.

About Levi’s® The Levi’s® brand epitomizes classic American style and effortless cool. Since their invention by Levi Strauss & Co. in 1873, Levi’s® jeans have become the most recognizable and imitated clothing in the world – capturing the imagination and loyalty of people for generations. Today, the Levi’s® brand portfolio continues to evolve through a relentless pioneering and innovative spirit that is unparalleled in the apparel industry.

Our range of leading jeanswear and accessories are available in more than 110 countries, allowing individuals around the world to express their personal style. For more information about the Levi’s® brand, its products and stores, please visit levi.com.pk

The first day of the week is the best day of the week for you. Enthusiasm, spontaneity and adventure figure strongly. You have such a natural high as Monday comes to an end that you fly through Tuesday and Wednesday, barely noticing how boring they are. And then, on Thursday, the pace picks up again. On Friday you’re forced to be stern with someone whose stubbornness is a roadblock to everyone else’s happiness. Saturday and Sunday, you have energy to spare, but unfortunately, a lot of it is consumed in family squabbles.

You have an itch to buy something, but rushing out at the start of the week and plunking down cash on the first thing that catches your eye will lead to regret.

You’ve been here before. Try to take your time this week. Tuesday and Wednesday, indulge in your social life — you have loyal friends and great chemistry with a certain flirtatious someone. The best amusements in life are the simple ones.

Thursday and Friday, you’re racing to get things done before the weekend.

Saturday and Sunday you’re as content as a sheep in a field of bright grass.

You may not be the only one in the group in the mood for a real discussion. Take the initiative to open up the floor to an intense conversation on Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday, the skills you need are buried fairly deeply inside of you. Both focus and resolve — despite the chatter of busybodies — are necessary. The answers you crave may not be at your fingertips toward the end of the week, but dialogue (even between people who rarely talk) is flowing. Friday has the added benefit of a flirtatious encounter, but this weekend, for whatever reason, you’re singing the blues.

Sing out. Sing loud.

Your reflexes couldn’t be faster, but on Monday, you don’t necessarily want to jump the moment someone says to.

Take your time. Think things through before you say anything or even react.

Tuesday and Wednesday are much more cut out for spontaneity — at a dinner gathering, tell the wildest stories you know and you’ll be the life of the party. Then, Thursday and Friday, if you feel like being a daredevil, be a daredevil. Your heart is racing, and on Saturday, all eyes are on you. Wave to your audience. Sunday is a day of glorious new beginnings.

virgo

libra

Your ability to turn a ho-hum outing into the most glorious event anyone’s ever been involved with is unrivaled. On Monday, your friends are clutching their sides with laughter. If only you had the same effect on the people you work with.

Finish whatever you’ve got to get done at work on Tuesday and Wednesday, and then fly out of there. Don’t expect kudos. You won’t be rewarded for your efforts until the time is right. Thursday and Friday are booked solid with social activities. That’s great, because you love social activities, but take some time for yourself this weekend. Mow the lawn.

Make a pie. Sleep.

Money issues are the most pressing things on your list at the start of the week. Your spirits are high and your friends are better than ever, but this financial stuff is a drag. Cash is just tight right now. Tuesday and Wednesday, take your mind off such mundane matters by having a picnic in the forest, going for a bike ride or throwing a stargazing party on your roof. The end of the week is all about fulfilling obligations, but Saturday and Sunday, you get to do whatever you like. There are a lot of people who’d like to see you.

A certain relationship occupies your time on Monday. It might be romantic. It might be work-related. But it’s all-consuming.

How things turn out between you two depends largely on you and the kind of energy you bring to the situation.

Toward the middle of the week, beauty and delicious food figure strongly, and on Thursday, a random experience with someone you barely know turns out to be the most fun you’ve had in ages. Friday you have your fingers in a lot of pies. The future is bright. But Saturday and Sunday you have chores to do.

If someone looks like they’re in the mood for a fight early in the week, walk the other way. You can work out your differences another day.

Monday’s one of those slippery days when things could easily get out of hand, so nip problems in the bud. Conflict is still in the air on Tuesday and Wednesday; if someone’s impatient, go out of your way to let them cool down. You’re a Gandhi figure with lots of nonviolent solutions, but at the end of the week, your concentration switches to a contractual matter. The fine print needs your attention. Saturday and Sunday, take a long drive somewhere.

Crank up the radio.

Who’s up for a game of dodgeball?

That’s the question on your lips at the start of the week. No more of this Scrabble business. You want an outside game, something to get your blood jumping. Tuesday and Wednesday you don’t have any time for games, with all the urgent yet mundane miscellaneous tasks on your plate. But Thursday and Friday are hardly boring — there are too many things going on to keep track of. Saturday and Sunday are full of tea, pillows, feelings, deep pondering and awesome food.

Some distant worry occupies part of your brain on Monday, but by Tuesday, it has dissolved. Children and trees figure into your day on Wednesday, and Thursday is a veritable symphony of cell phones ringing. People love to gab on Fridays, for some reason — it must have something to do with the imminent weekend — but this Friday, you won’t be much into extra chatter. You might even say to someone, ‘Get on with it.’ Try not to say it rudely.

Saturday and Sunday, be an angel to someone you love.

You see a pattern in the wallpaper you’ve never seen before — that’s what Monday is like. Nothing changes about the outside world, but you order its shapes differently in your mind. These discoveries you’re making are subtle; nevertheless, they persist. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the findings you uncover have to do with your family. Thursday brings a revelation in your love life — it’s really something this week — and Friday you get to plan a creative date. Unfortunately, the weekend is a letdown, mostly because of bills, chores, health issues and high emotions.

Everything will be okay soon though.

You appreciate the beauty of low-level clouds, but you don’t appreciate being within one at the start of the week.

How are you supposed to see where you’re going? This happens now and again in your life, these moments of blind bewilderment. Light candles and make dinner on Tuesday and Wednesday. Then read. Don’t commit to social activities. You may end up spending Thursday and Friday around the house as well — puttering, watching DVDs, doing whatever occurs to you. This weekend, your energy unexpectedly soars. Find an outdoor concert to attend.
