    There is something effortlessly sexy about a micro blouse. Whether it is a simple bandeau blouse or a cropped halter neck blouse, or a risqué underwire bralette, nothing says "sexy" like a micro blouse. And we don't mean the barely-there kind; we're talking about the kind of blouses that have a tasteful take on "risqué". It's a fine line!

    For Manifest to become one of Cambridge Dictionary's most viewed words of 2024 — 1,30,000 hits and counting — it means some of us must have Googled it at least once. I know, I hit that search button over and over again
    because each time I looked at it, I saw a new meaning.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.
