Exotica

The female of the species can be the harbingers of real change at the grassroots level influencing families and their immediate environs. Our cover story is about an initiative that allowed village women to weave carpets at their doorstep. While they could continue to look after their homes and hearths, their carpets travelled the world to decorate plush houses on every continent. The ramifications were numerous. Women empowerment, sustainable practises and a unique initiative were a few. In effect, all these catapulted a truly Indian brand on the international map.
On the travel front, one of our explorers ditched Goa in favour of the serene Bekal... and was rewarded with rest recuperation and more. Another traveller took off to Mauritius, which thrives on the beauty of coexistence and a melange of different influences to create an amalgam that is unique to the country. Sometimes, the best destinations are discovered by chance. One of our travellers happened to find one such paradise close to the capital.
Our celebrity interviewee, Aline Dobbie, returns annually to India renew the one of her birth to renew her connections and write insightful travel books.
At The India Art Fair, we narrow down a few galleries and the artists they display which are worth a dekko while our expert mixologists have some on offer for you to sip on. Beauty regimens need to change with the weather. We have some simple tips and tricks for hair and skincare which actually work.
