When Couture Learns To Stay Put: Elie Saab’s India Entry Turns Fashion Into A Fixed Address

Lifestylelifestyle

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 21: Luxury has always flirted with permanence, even when pretending to be seasonal. Runway collections vanish in months, trends expire faster than invitations, and yet the promise of luxury has always been about something lasting — legacy, lineage, and the quiet assurance that you’ve arrived. Elie Saab’s entry into India through branded residences feels less like a business expansion and more like a confession: fashion no longer wants to hang in your wardrobe; it wants to live with you. This is not a sudden pivot. It’s a carefully timed escalation. As global lifestyle brands increasingly move…

Travel Grows Up In 2026 — And Leaves The Bucket List Behind

Lifestylelifestyle

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 20: For years, travel was marketed like a competitive sport. The more stamps on your passport, the more enviable your life appeared. Airports became backdrops, destinations became trophies, and experiences were reduced to captions written mid-boarding call. Somewhere along the way, travel stopped asking why and focused obsessively on where. 2026, inconveniently for that narrative, has other plans. The language of travel is changing — not loudly, not dramatically, but decisively. Travellers are no longer chasing itineraries designed for applause. They are curating journeys that mirror their values, emotional bandwidth, and increasingly limited tolerance for chaos…

The Fiction of Memory Versus Forgetting

Lifestylelifestyle

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 17: Read a few writings of Kafka and you will notice something under your shoes; and this ground that you are standing upon, it would seem to collapse into an abyss of absurdist thoughts, thoughts that seek purpose, thoughts that would make you crawl under the bed and force you to die, a strange sense of metamorphosis, the one that woke Buddha up into a night and convinced him to leave his home and wife and children behind. When you discover something different from the sense of reality of other people; you are most prone to…
