Mumbai, 10th July, 2013: RUOSH announced the launch of its water resistance shoes well in time for the monsoon season to begin. These shoes resist water, from getting inside the shoes. The leather is made water resistant during the tanning process which will not absorb water even if soaked for a prolonged duration. The soles are made from rubber and TPR which are water resistant.

Designed with monsoon in mind, these shoes have been tested on sole adhesion, flexing and water penetration. So now if you put your feet accidentally in the puddle of water or get stuck in the rain, you don?t have to worry about your shoes. These shoes also absorb shock from the foot and improve support and balance of the foot, providing extra grip. The leather is thicker, stronger and less prone to cracking than other water resistant leathers.

The range is available in 6 styles in all RUOSH exclusive brand outlets. The sole enhances the style element without compromising on the functionality of walking comfortably and confidently.

RUOSH water resistance collection starts from Rs. 3990 with styles to suit your personality.

This monsoon, take on the puddles with style

With its roots as an urban artform, Beatboxing is the art of urban vocal percussion. i.e. - imitating drum sounds and beat patterns using your lips, tongue, mouth, throat, and voice. While, as a music form it has evolved over hundreds of years (the Indian traditional form of the ?bol?, the percussion rhythm for songs), todays beatbox artists are stretching the sonic boundaries with new sounds, techniques and creativity.

MUMBAI: Comedy Central India presents Citizen Khan; a family based British comedy sitcom set in British Pakistan - Sparkhill, Birmingham.

Citizen Khan follows the trials and tribulations of Mr. Khan played by actor and writer Adil Ray, his long suffering wife (played by Shobu Kapoor) and daughters Shazia (Maya Sondhi) and Alia (Bhavna Limbachia). The title of the show is a play on the title of the Orson Welles film Citizen Kane.

Meet Mr. Khan, a loud-mouthed, patriarchal, self-appointed community leader and future President of the Spark-hill Pakistani Business Association; a small man with big dreams and strident opinions who is struggling to make ends meet but he is proud of his thriftiness (you can?t miss his Suit 1979 and ancient yellow Mercedes).

Things would be much easier if everyone just listened to him and followed his lead, but his obsessively house-proud wife and two feisty daughters have their own opinions and way of living life.

Citizen Khan is notable for being the BBC?s first Asian sitcom, but it?s also the creation of Adil Ray, a radio presenter who has reinvented himself as a TV funny man. The show has done extremely well in London with rave reviews from Guardian, Time Out and Independent.
