Mumbai:Shruti Haasan recently acquired a huge flat in Mumbai, and our sources tell us that she is now busy doing up the interiors, having chosen to forego the services of a professional decorator.

A friend of the actress told us, The formalities of purchasing the house were completed last month. She was staying at rented house in Bandra for over five years and always wanted to own a house. She has finally managed to fulfil this dream on her own. Her father (Kamal Haasan) is very proud of her.

Considering that this is something shes wanted for so long, its not surprising that she wants her home decor to bear the stamp of her personality.

Shrutis apartment is a spacious one, with two bedrooms, in one of the top storeys of a high rise. Our source tells us that the actress has a dedicated space where she has set up some high-end speakers and her music collection: Her living room will have photos of her and her parents Shruti has flown to Dehradun for a film shoot but will return next week and check on the developments.

When we contacted Shruti, she said, I feel really blessed to have done this all on my own.

Its been a successful four years for Deanne Dawe, who operates her business, Tidy Solutions, from an office in Clarkes Beach.

Deanne Dawe owns Tidy Solutions, a house designing business out of Clarke's Beach.

Dawe is one of several women from the Conception Bay North area to get nominated for a prestigious award from the Newfoundland and Labrador Organization of Women Entrepreneurs (NLOWE). Two others are Natalie Austin and Shannon Doyle, both of Carbonear.

For the second year in a row, Dawe has been notified she is in the running for the Youth Entrepreneur of the Year award, an award for successful young entrepreneurs under 35, who operate a profitable business.

Tidy Solutions has been steadily gaining popularity for those looking to build new homes, mainly because Dawe produces custom house plans.

As a certified interior designer not to be confused with an interior decorator Dawe uses drafting software to assist clients to design their dream home, whether it be through renovations or a new build.

Her interest in designing came at a young age, when she recognized a skill many other children didnt have.

When I was a kid, and the other kids were drawing hopscotch (on the pavement), I was drawing house plans, Dawe told The Compass in a phone interview June 10.

THE SHADOW YEAR, Hannah Richells latest novel, starts out slowly, examining the sadness and grief of Lila, a woman who has recently lost a child. The story builds to a dramatic and terrible conclusion with tension rising page by page as the story shifts between Lila's perspective and that of Kat, living in the same house 30 years earlier. The two stories interweave in ways both obvious and surprising, and Richell's highly charged and effortless writing draws readers in from page one.

Soon after losing her daughter, in an accident of which she has little memory and that happened just months after her father died, Lila inherits a house in the farm country north of London. It is really a run-down cottage, inaccessible by road but close to a beautiful and isolated lake. Lila, an interior decorator and renovator by profession, hopes that fixing up the cottage will help heal her heart and give her quiet time to help remember the details of the accident. But leaving London means leaving her husband Tom, also in mourning, behind. As she spends more and more time alone in the cottage, her marriage grows increasingly tense. It is with kind-hearted neighbors named William and Evelyn that Lila finally begins to relax and find a sense of peace. Still, she must face her strained relationship with Tom, her complicated relationship with her mother and the difficult memories of her father.

"Literary in style, but not stuffy or arrogant, THE SHADOW YEAR is entertaining and sometimes heartwrenching."

The year is 1980, and Kat and her friends are fresh out of college. A trip to an abandoned house on a lake inspires them to cancel their plans for jobs for the next year and stay, the five of them, in the house, living off the land. Kat, raised in her early years by her junkie parents before moving with her little sister Freya into a foster home, is in love with Simon, the charismatic leader of their group. She sets out to make the house more comfortable as Mac takes the lead on hunting food, Ben becomes the house chef, and his girlfriend, Carla, the gardener. The idyllic life they hope to craft for themselves starts to fall apart as winter approaches, supplies run low, and the strain only increases when the beautiful Freya arrives, attracting Simon's attention just when Kat thinks he has finally come to care for her romantically. The delicate balance of feelings and responsibilities fall apart after one night of intoxication and violence, and the consequences are devastating and deadly.

The stories of Lila and Kat are twisted images of each other but also connected in ways that unfold as the novel progresses. The lakeside house is the setting for both, but what happens to Lila and Kat take them in two very different directions. Some of the connections are quickly apparent to keen readers, but Richell has a few tricks up her writerly sleeve as well. Figuring out some of the elements and conjunctions between the two plots in no way diminishes the impact of the novel.

Literary in style, but not stuffy or arrogant, THE SHADOW YEAR is entertaining and sometimes heartwrenching. It is a smart page-turner, a bit scary and quite atmospheric, exploring the depths of sadness, loneliness, loss and hope, as well as the meaning of family.

It's an unfortunate start. A choppy dark blue sea and a moonless Fijian sky.

The nose of the water taxi rises and falls, hitting the water like a brick on concrete. Boatman Api peers out into the blackness, keeping a watch out for hazards on the 40-minute trip from Fiji's main island to Malolo Island.

I feel I've made a serious mistake.

I pull my one-year-old closer to my chest, trying to stop her rockmelon-sized head from bobbling about, while my partner wraps his arms tighter around our three-year-old.

The exhaust fumes are making me queasy - then we arrive at the jetty and see the singing staff, who after their welcome song shout "Bula! Bula!"

Malolo Island Resort operations manager Zack Vonotabua hands out peppermint-scented wet towels and joins us for a pineapple drink at the Beach Bar on the water's edge.

"How was your boat trip over?" says Zack, as he holds the glass and straw in place for my youngest girl.

Before I get a chance to explain that it was choppy, my daughter starts vomiting over Zack's arm and then the chair, seat cushion and the table.

It's an odd first encounter with Malolo but the perfect introduction, I soon realise, to this small island resort.

The seasickness "event" demonstrates how the staff here make one feel instantly embraced into a new family - they are as concerned about my little one as I am.
