    Curating a home is an art, and for Astha Khetan, founder of House of Things, it is also a deeply personal expression of identity. HOT is not just a collection—it is a celebration of stories told through objects. From artisanal ceramics to contemporary sculptures, every piece is selected for its ability to spark conversation, elevate everyday rituals, and infuse spaces with personality.


    Astha’s eye gravitates toward the unexpected, the whimsical, and the culturally rooted. Whether it’s a sculptural vase that doubles as a centerpiece or a textured rug inspired by architectural motifs, her selections bring warmth, elegance, and a sense of discovery into the home. Each object resonates with craftsmanship and thoughtfulness, reflecting a modern sensibility that honors tradition without being predictable.


    For those who believe interiors should reflect personality, these curated pieces by Astha Khetan, founder of House of Things, transform everyday spaces into immersive experiences. Each object is a conversation starter, blending craftsmanship, culture, and whimsy.

    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.

    The fact that it comes with band, baaja and baraat — what's not to love?And that is the reason our first issue celebrates:
    THE NEW BRIDE.

    If you look at
    'Curate Beautiful, Create Happy'individually, they are powerful but when you put them together, they become a promise. While each section is dedicated to a word, I hope you will see this as your first of many handbooks for happiness.

    Beautiful
    It has everything you need to make your wedding special. From the big comeback of red and pink in bridal wear to how the cool kids are wearing corsets to the celebration, there is only one way to get ready for a wedding —with enjoyment.

    Create
    This section is a building block, a step to a better life. A place where we have all the answers. Or at least the beginning of a great conversation.

    Happy
    This needs very little description. It has travel with a special focus on incredible India, and a collection of wedding albums, sourced randomly, but collected with abundance because happiness has no limits.

    - Avarna Jain,
    Chairperson RPSG Lifestyle Media

    This first issue has a lot more, including a carefully edited address book of everything you need to make your wedding perfectly 'gramworthy! But it doesn't stop there. Each issue will be different because each one of you is unique.
    Because we manifested this difference, now we will celebrate you.
