Trakroo, The Influencer Making A Difference 28 August 2023 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement In the fashion world, where trends change as swiftly as the wind, Sunita T. Trakroo stands as a beacon of inspiration, defying conventional norms and leading toward a more sustainable and conscientious future. A flourishing career as an influencer, with an unwavering commitment to social and environmental causes, sets her apart as a force to be reckoned with in the industry. In an exclusive interview with our magazine, Sunita shared her thoughts on fashion, her proudest achievements, her dreams for the future, and her pearls of wisdom for aspiring creators and models. "For me, fashion means different things to different people," Sunita begins, her eyes reflecting her passion for the subject. "Some interpret it as a personal style, and some as following runway choices and trends. Fashion is an amalgam of all the options, and it lies somewhere in the middle; it varies from person to person." Indeed, Sunita's unique approach to fashion resonates with her vast audience, who find themselves drawn to her impeccable taste and deep-rooted values. "Fashion should never compromise our values or the planet," she firmly states. "It's not just about looking good; it's about feeling good in what you wear and knowing that your choices positively impact the world." As we delve into her portfolio of work, Sunita coyly mentions projects she is proud of, projects she cannot divulge due to their confidential nature. "It is super secret for me because of the hard work I have done for a few tasks, but the results are not announced yet," she laughs. However, her passion and dedication have yielded remarkable results as her presence in the fashion world continues to grow and captivate. Aside from her secret endeavors, Sunita shares some of her ongoing projects, including collaborations with five-star properties and fashion events. "I believe in making every experience luxurious and sustainable," she says. "It's essential to show the world that fashion and luxury can go hand in hand with eco-consciousness." But what sets Sunita apart from many influencers is her vision for the future. "The future is uncertain," she admits, "but I want to collaborate with some NGOs and social activists. I'm keen to work for social and natural processes like afforestation and 'No Plastic India.'" Her eyes light up with determination as she speaks about her desire to use her platform to positively impact the environment and society. "I love to travel, and Greece has simply taken my breath away," Sunita gushes when we ask her about her favorite destination. "I admire it most and love to explore Santorini. Of course, it is a small island, but all the views are picturesque and soothing." Her love for travel extends beyond leisure, as she often incorporates sustainable and ethical practices during her journeys, promoting eco-tourism and responsible travel among her followers. As we approached the end of our interview, we couldn't resist asking Sunita to share some pearls of wisdom for aspiring creators and models. Her response was both empowering and thought-provoking: "Well! To be very frank, we live on Earth, so we must save our environment, wildlife, marine life, and every living thing because we don't inhabit this planet alone. As creators and models, we have a tremendous responsibility to use our influence to advocate for positive change." Her words echo in our minds long after the interview, reminding us of the power of social media and fashion. Sunita T. Trakroo has not only redefined fashion but has redefined what it means to be an influencer. With her unwavering commitment to sustainability and social causes, she has proven that fashion can be a vehicle for positive change and style can coexist with substance. In the ever-changing world of fashion, where the spotlight often shines on extravagance and excess, Sunita's values and principles stand as a refreshing reminder that beauty can be found not just in aesthetics but in the soul of those who use their influence for the greater good. As she continues her journey of blending fashion, luxury, and sustainability, we can't help but be excited about her future. In this future, style and responsibility go hand in hand, and fashion becomes a force for positive transformation.

By Shriniwas Kodape The Blooming Gallery: A Fever Dream Of Matcha And Moss 15 August 2025 FOOD Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement She said nothing as she poured the tea. Just placed the glass pot on the table, steam curling upward like a question you weren’t ready to answer, and drifted away through a curtain of hanging wisteria. I didn’t know her name, but it didn’t matter. No one speaks loudly here. The Blooming Gallery isn’t that kind of place. Bangkok, outside, was melting into itself—tuk-tuks honking like arguments, humidity thick enough to chew. But inside this tucked-away glasshouse in Thonglor, time unraveled at its own pace. The air smelled faintly of earl grey, truffle, and damp moss. If you listened closely, you could hear Billie Holiday leaking softly from invisible speakers, and maybe your own breath for once. The entrance doesn’t demand attention. No grand arch, no flash. Just a wooden sign nearly hidden by vines and a single white flower pressed into the menu stand. You step inside and forget the city. Or maybe it forgets you. Tables are scattered like thoughts in a well-kept dream—some under an ivy canopy, others beside glass walls where the sun falls like honey. It’s less a café and more a secret someone decided not to keep. Everything—teacups, cutlery, plates—feels like it was chosen slowly, carefully, as if each belonged to a different memory. I didn’t order right away. Places like this, you don’t rush. You arrive. You adjust. You let your shoulders drop. Eventually, I asked for the matcha latte. When it came, it was almost too beautiful to drink—Kyoto matcha swirled with cream, topped with an edible bloom so perfect it looked fake. It wasn’t. Nothing here is. The food followed in that same quiet rhythm. Angel hair pasta with mentaiko and tiger prawns—delicate, oceanic, whispering of salt and warmth. A fettuccine drowned in truffle cream that made you close your eyes for a second longer than usual. But dessert was the moment everything tilted. A Path in the Forest, they called it. Matcha mousse layered with soft cheesecake and crumbs that tasted like childhood. It wasn’t sweet in the lazy way most desserts are. It was structured, balanced, and surprising—like something your grandmother would make if she had trained in Tokyo and lived in a greenhouse. There’s no table turnover here. No pressure to leave. The staff move like they’ve lived through quieter centuries. No one asks if you’re finished. You stay as long as the tea stays warm. Evening creeps in slowly through the glass ceiling. The shadows stretch. The flowers seem to shift in the changing light. Someone brings a cocktail to the next table—elderflower and gin, the glass rimmed with crushed lavender. The couple beside me stop talking and just hold hands. It doesn’t feel like a restaurant. It feels like an ending you didn’t know you needed. And maybe that’s the point. Outside, Bangkok is still boiling. Still relentless. But inside The Blooming Gallery, you remember how to breathe again. How to sit still. How to let something be beautiful without needing to explain why. You’ll leave, of course. You’ll sweat, and curse the traffic, and scroll through your phone like everyone else. But something soft will follow you, like perfume on an old shirt or a song you didn’t know you remembered. Something that bloomed quietly and refused to die. And you’ll know exactly where to go when you need it again.

Seerat Kapoor – An All-rounder’s journey in today’s era by Aparajita Jaiswal Seerat Kapoor – An All-rounder’s journey in today’s era 30 June 2022 COVER STORIES Advertisement Seerat Kapoor has indeed been an all-rounder through her dancing, singing and acting. When asked about her experience training with Ashleigh Lobo, she reveals- “In all honesty, when I started off as a dancer, I had no long term plan of taking it up as a choreographer. I had merely taken it to train the passion that I have towards dance. I enrolled into Ashleigh’s company as a student, along with a couple of seniors who within my first class spotted me and offered me a scholarship program.” Moreover, the artist claims that she became a co-member of Ashleigh’s team and was landed with the opportunity of working as a choreographer in the movie, Rockstar. Taking a sneak peek into the artist’s journey as an actor, Seerat reveals that performing theatrical dance trained her to “face the camera and the big screen”. Seerat’s parents guided her through the process of training professionally as a singer. “I was very young and my parents had this knack of already understanding that there were two creative kids born to them, my brother and I. My parents thought if I trained, I could potentially stand up in the field of professional singing. At that point, all I wanted was to dance, sing and act. I remember a very open conversation at home about how Hindustani Classical music influences your vocal training.” The artist’s inspiration game is rather idealistic and taken from various forms. “I draw inspiration from everywhere, there are no one or two people, not just industry professionals, but the people I work with. Right from the management to my PR to the team that supports me; everyone inspires me. Seeing old ladies in the gym is an inspiration. Therefore, it’s holistic and I’m also inspired by many films and performances by actors.“ Being a public figure can bring out its “pros and cons”. According to the artist, the perception of a situation and whether it is bound to work in favour or not is in the stride of an actor. Her approach towards negative criticism is constructive as she looks at them as opportunities for her betterment in her art. Seerat Kapoor appeared in Slow Slow music video with Badshaah and Abhishek and has been working on several projects currently. She claims that featuring in Slow Slow music video was extremely good. The opportunity was out of her comfort zone. She added that meeting Badshah created a personal level attachment on a deeper level. In terms of her recent projects, the artist reveals that she has a Bollywood debut release with Tushar Kapoor Entertainment Productions along with veterans such as Nawazuddin Siddiqui sir. She is currently filming another movie with Suryadevara Naga Vamsi.“ The conversation was extremely delightful. Seerat concluded the interview with a heart- wrenching message for her fans. “I want to tell my fans that they have been such a great support and I won’t stay silent here, because they very loudly cheer for me when I put up something.“ #TaraTaraKhandelwalBooksBooksandbeyondBoundWritersReadersAuthorsLiterary #Love #depression #society #Seerat #Fashion #SeeratKapoor #lutopia #Anxiety #Reality #LutopiaMagazine #skincare #Life #Kapoor #Mentalhealth SEARCH A Journey Shaped By Courage, Creativity, And Social Media With Aditi Sharma COVER STORIES Inner Joy Trails My Inspiration : A Candid Conversation With The Creative Anushka Kaushik COVER STORIES Barkha Singh’s candid candour makes the way to an eye-catching interview COVER STORIES Educate, Empower, Excel: Priyanka Chahar Choudhary's Inspirational Overture COVER STORIES Waluscha De Sousa On Being Her ‘True Self’ And Going On The Dream Journey COVER STORIES POPULAR POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement By Sakshi Shah Khushi Bhardwaj Is Growing Up On Screen, And Doing It Her Way 31 December 2025 COVER STORIES By Shriniwas Kodape The Eternal Strings Of Amaan & Ayaan Ali Bangash 4 October 2025 COVER STORIES By Anurag Sen Vivian Dsena: The Fluke Star Who Became Television’s Undying Heartthrob 25 September 2025 COVER STORIES By Ananya Patankar Unscripted, Unstoppable: The Many Lives Of Christine Gulasatree 22 August 2025 COVER STORIES RELATED POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement

by Akash Khatri 10 Must Try Classic Cocktails 7 July 2022 FOOD Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement You can’t go wrong with a classic cocktail. Whether you’re craving a tried-and-true Dark N Stormy, or a posh Cosmo. Here are 10 must try Classic Cocktails. COSMOPOLITAN: The origin of the Cosmopolitan is disputed. But one popular story is that the Cosmo was created by a college student named Neal Murray. He did not get the job just because of the management’s racism. But once while they were all away for a weekend for an event, the staff snuck him in. In three days, they trained him. And by the time the management returned, his talent and skill made them accept him as the new bartender. One night he was experimenting with the cocktail, Kamikaze. He discovered that adding a splash of cranberry juice to the drink gave it a delightful pink color, and a delicious fruity punch. When someone asked him what it was, he said he didn’t know. The customer responded by calling it “very Cosmopolitan”, which is how it got the name. SCREWDRIVER: Why would one call a drink made of vodka and juice “screwdriver”? The screwdriver originated when American Oil workers in the oil fields of Turkey, started adding vodka to their orange juice, for an extra kick. And since they didn’t have any spoons handy, they stirred it with screwdrivers. That explains the name. And since they weren’t supposed to be drinking on the job, “Screwdriver” was an easy way to refer to it without ginning it away. TOM COLLINS: In 1874, there was a mass prank going around in New York in which people used to tell their friends that a man named Tom Collins had been spreading nasty rumors about him or her in a nearby bar. People would then go to the local pub and ask for Tom Collins. The bartender of the pub heard that joke too many times and got an idea. After that, the next time somebody ran into the bar demanding to see Tom Collins; the bartender gave a refreshing gin cocktail. LONG ISLAND ICED TEA: A consistent theme with classic cocktails- the Long Island Iced Tea also has multiple origin stories. Some claim the drink originated during the prohibition, when an older gentleman with an entrepreneurial spirit created a cocktail to look like iced tea as a way to drink by disguise. Not only did the iced tea look aesthetic, but also having five different alcohols definitely added to the appeal. MARTINI: Martini is a mixture of gin and dry vermouth. In the early 1860s, people used to frequently go to the Occidental Hotel in San Francisco and order bartender Jerry Thomas’s special mixture of gin and dry vermouth. And then they would take an evening ferry to the nearby town of Martinez. The bartender later named his signature cocktail ‘Martini’ in reference to the destination people headed to after consuming the drink. MOJITO: A 16th century in Cuba holds resemblance to the modern-day Mojito. This mixture of mint, rum, sugar, and lime juice was originally made with a harsh liquor called aguardiente. The lime juice and sugar used to cut the hard taste. The name of the drink comes from a Cuban spice made from limes, called mojo. BLOODY MARY: In the 1920s, Fernand Petiot, an American mixed up equal parts tomato juice and vodka. A patron in the bar suggested he call the drink “Bloody Mary.” He said it reminded him of the Bucket of Blood Club in Chicago, and a girl he knew there named Mary. When he took the recipe to New York, the people weren’t too impressed at first. They said the drink tasted a bit bland. He added black pepper, cayenne pepper, Worcestershire sauce, lemon and a splash of tabasco pepper sauce, for those who wanted it. And that’s how an American classic was born. DARK N STORMY: Made of spicy ginger beer and rich Gosling’s Black Seal dark rum, the drink allegedly got its name from an old sailor who compared the drink’s murky hue to the color of storm clouds. An old fisherman commented on how it looked, comparing it to a cloud “only a fool or dead man would sail under.” It’s an unproven legend. But the drink’s connection to the joys and dangers of seafaring is well-established. BELLINI: This delightful wine cocktail is a blend of white peach puree and Prosecco. Giuseppe Cipriani, started mixing up the fruity tipples in 1934 and the pink color of the drink reminded him of a saint’s toga from a painting by Italian Renaissance artist Giovanni Bellini. Thus, he named his cocktail ‘Bellini’ in honor of the painter and his artwork. MARGARITA: There is an old drink which is a mix of brandy, triple sec, and lemon juice; called the Daisy. A bartender in Tijuana, Mexico was making a Daisy and accidentally grabbed a bottle of tequila instead of brandy. The accident became a hit at the bar. And it was then made famous as a new drink called Margarita, the Spanish word for the Daisy.

Ways to be kind to yourself by Neha Pande Ways to be kind to yourself 1 September 2020 LIFESTYLE Advertisement Be kind to yourself; your body, your soul and your mind because if you are not kind and loving to yourself then who will be? In today’s fast paced life we at times forget to take care of ourselves and when even a tiny thing doesn’t go according to our plan we start to feel low; beating ourselves over that one tiny mishap. During times like these we must take a step back and be kind to ourselves. Mishaps happen, problems and issues occur but we must stay strong and be kind to ourselves. Keeping that in mind we have made a list of ways which will help you be kinder to yourself. Take some time out for yourself – Take a break, take a time out and call it your day. Everyone needs rest and at times the best way to love yourself and be kind to yourself is to take a break and rest your body, soul and mind. Let yourself recharge and get ready for days to come. Go on a little vacation or if you can’t then take some time out to read your favourite book, watch a movie, cook, bake or go for a spa! Sky’s the limit; but make sure whatever you do, it relaxes you and makes you happy. Call a Friend – At times all we need is to call someone and vent all our troubles out and that’s why, when in doubt you go call your best friend. Friends can always hype you up and make you feel like you are on top of the world. Calling someone also helps you solve a lot of issues and helps you realise your self worth making you feel loved and appreciated. Just pick up your phone and call or in Sam Smith’s words “I’m only one call away, I’ll be there to save the day.” Give yourself a pep talk – “Hey you! You are stunning and beautiful!” Pep talks are essential especially on a low day. Instead of counting all the flaws in you, celebrate the good in yourself. Practice the art of pep talks; go stand in front of the mirror and remind yourself of how beautiful you are and how much of an amazing person you are. Take a nap – Why do you think babies are so happy most of the times? Studies have shown that taking naps can definitely make a person be energised and happy. Naps are like the super tablets that a person needs to be happy and if you are happy and energised you’ll be more kind too yourself. One nap a day will definitely make all you worries go away. Go for a walk or exercise – Go out into the world and breathe in the fresh air letting go of your worries. Walks and working out will not only keep you healthy and active but will also keep you fresh and happy. So pop in your earphones and blast some Beyoncé as you go workout or some Sam Smith for calm peaceful walks.

Rat & Boa Redefining Contemporary Fashion With Sustainability And Soul By Sakshi Batra Rat & Boa Redefining Contemporary Fashion With Sustainability And Soul 11 March 2025 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement A Fashion Revolution Rooted In Boldness And Empowerment In the ever-evolving world of fashion, where trends shift like the wind, there exists a brand that has not only stood its ground but has become a beacon of fearless femininity - Rat & Boa . Founded in 2015 by two visionary friends, Valentina Muntoni and Stephanie Bennett , this London-based label is more than just an online clothing brand; it’s a movement. Known for its bold prints, sultry silhouettes, and an aesthetic that exudes effortless confidence , Rat & Boa has captured the hearts of fashion lovers worldwide. What Sets Them Apart? A deep commitment to sustainability and a mission to empower women - both those who wear their designs and those who create them. It’s not just about turning heads - It’s about turning the industry towards a more sustainable, ethical, and empowering future. From Friendship To Fashion Legacy Rat & Boa’s journey began when Valentina and Stephanie met at university in 2008. Reconnecting years later, they turned their shared passion for fashion into a brand. With just a vision and a camera, they photographed their own designs, infusing personal style into every piece. Their bold aesthetic quickly gained cult status. What’s In A Name? Inspired by a Stevie Nicks quote about contrasts, ‘Rat & Boa’ symbolizes the brand’s duality - soft yet strong, feminine yet fierce, classic yet contemporary. The Rise Of A Cult Label With its signature blend of sensuality and sophistication, Rat & Boa has redefined modern occasion wear. From floor-grazing maxi dresses that whisper bohemian elegance to daring mini dresses that command attention, every piece tells a story of confidence and individuality. The brand’s popularity soared when global fashion icons like Bella Hadid, Kim Kardashian, and Kaia Gerber embraced its designs, cementing its place in high-fashion circles. Beyond its striking aesthetics, Rat & Boa has consistently expanded its offerings. In 2020, the brand introduced soft tailoring, and in 2021, it launched a swimwear collection. With each new venture, the label remains true to its DNA: creating timeless , love-forever pieces that outlast fleeting trends. Sustainability: A Promise, Not A Trend At a time when fast fashion dominates and environmental concerns loom large, Rat & Boa takes a stand for responsible fashion. Their promise? To create striking collections with minimal environmental impact and maximum social responsibility. Slow and Thoughtful Production: The brand prides itself on producing in limited runs, ensuring minimal waste and avoiding the pitfalls of overproduction. Sustainable Fabrics & Digital Printing: They meticulously select luxurious yet durable fabrics, employing digital printing techniques to reduce fabric waste and water consumption. Empowering Women in the Supply Chain: With a workforce of over 1,500 women across the globe, Rat & Boa has committed to the UN Women’s Empowerment Principles, ensuring fair wages, ethical working conditions, and opportunities for growth. Carbon Neutral Goals: By 2025, the brand aims to make all deliveries carbon neutral, with strategic warehouse placements in the EU and Australia to cut down emissions. Sustainable Luxury: A Commitment To Eco-Friendly Fashion Each piece is crafted from luxurious, long-lasting fabrics that feel great and endure in your wardrobe. The brand tends to minimize waste by using every metre of fabric, digitally printing most pieces to cut water and fabric waste and never sending anything to landfill. Their collections remain fur-free, and they’re working toward full traceability of all man-made cellulose fibres by the end of 2025. Fashion With Purpose Rat & Boa isn’t just about making women look good, it’s about making them feel powerful. Every collection is designed with the modern woman in mind: “One who is fearless, independent, and unapologetically herself”. The brand champions gender equality, sustainability, and ethical practices, proving that style and responsibility can and should go hand in hand. From its signature “Forever Loves” collection to must-have vacation dresses and statement matching sets, Rat & Boa continues to redefine contemporary fashion while staying committed to a future that’s as responsible as it is stylish. Looking Ahead: What’s Next For Rat & Boa? With an unwavering dedication to growth, sustainability, and bold design, the future of Rat & Boa is as exciting as its past. As they explore new categories and continue pushing boundaries, one thing is clear, “This is a brand built to last, not just in fashion but in its commitment to making a difference”. Rat & Boa is more than just a label, it’s a lifestyle, a statement, and a celebration of fearless femininity. So, are you ready to be part of the revolution?
