November EDITION
Learn the art of now!
Festive seasons are the perfect time to make new resolutions! While we clean our homes and spruce them up to welcome Lakshmi mata, I think it’s is also a great time to clean up and organise our minds. Of late, no matter where I go, all I hear are money making schemes—stock markets, land boom, cryptocurrency, women selling saris, jewellery—it’s almost as if money is determining your worth.
Worse than that is how today’s happiness is postponed to 5 years later, when the speculated market boom is expected. A lot of youngsters don’t want to marry until they settle down. Families postpone travel plans or buying a house or even visiting old parents. While I am not advocating for materialistic pleasure, I do question the very aspect of settling down. Where is the fun in travelling at the age of 60 with knee pains while you could have easily done it at 30?
We already know that settling down is an imaginary concept; yet we place all out bets and happiness on it. We can always hire people to drive a car for us or even make money for us; material things lost can be found, but the one thing that can never be found once lost is life. Enjoy life, share it with others, watch your children grow, throw things around and even mess up the house because the one thing you can control is now! Tomorrow, your land may or may not boom, your bitcoin may or may not double…that’s for tomorrow. Today, don’t miss out on the simple joys of life, only to come to regret it.
All we want for all of you is to have a cracking Diwali. Go enjoy the simple pleasures! Colour your hair green; featured in this issue is an organic brand to perfectly meet that need! Shop your heart out— our fashion section will help guide you with tips from experts and inspiration straight from the runway.

What’s important is you learn the art of now…
