    We love a simple, classic top handle bag. Or an elegant, minimalistic crossbody bag. But sometimes, we don't mind a beautiful alligator-shaped minaudière, or a shoe-shaped top handle bag. If you, like us, are all for bags that are shaped like other objects, we have some cool recommendations for you!

    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.
