    Every year the cosmic alignment known as the Lion’s Gate Portal swings open to a potent window pulsing with heightened energy, spiritual clarity, and the power to transform. This year, the celestial event peaks on August 8th, marking one of the most powerful moments to manifest your deepest dreams.


    It’s a rare convergence of the Sun in Leo, the brilliant star Sirius, and Earth’s energetic gateway. While we may still be navigating retrogrades, cosmic shifts, and the sweltering heat of the season, the Lion’s Gate Portal cuts through the noise, supercharging your quietest prayers and deepest desires.

    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.
