- Not a beach body, but a fit body
Not a beach body, but a fit body LIFESTYLE Not a beach body, but a fit body by Raunak Singh Hooda 1 June 2021 Advertisement “A sound body keeps a sound mind.” We hear this saying so often around us, this is what our parents, school teachers, and elders tell us when they need to emphasize the importance of exercise in our lives. So let’s try to understand what this means. In today’s fast-paced world, where productivity and profit are given the highest priority, and general well-being takes a backseat in light of extreme capitalism, it is imperative that people become more aware of how their body functions, and why it is necessary to keep it fit. The first and foremost cause of physical deterioration of the body lies in the mental state of a person. With many social media platforms growing increasingly toxic, a large number of people today are facing mental health issues that are deep-rooted, and these are primarily hurting the physical well-being of these people. Exercise has been found to be one of the major protectors of a person’s mental well-being. Exercise improves mental health by reducing anxiety, depression, and negative mood, and by improving self-esteem and cognitive function. Exercise has also been found to alleviate symptoms such as low self-esteem and social withdrawal. Lack of exercise also has a cause-effect relationship with obesity. A lack of proper exercise causes it, and a lack of proper exercise is also induced by it. In 2019, an estimated 38.2 million children under the age of five were found to be suffering from obesity. Why it is a problem is because raised BMI is a major risk factor for noncommunicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, musculoskeletal disorders(especially osteoarthritis), and even some forms of cancer. Regular physical exercise increases people’s energy expenditure, which can help them stay in energy balance, and even lose weight, as long as they don’t overcompensate for the number of calories burned during the exercise period. Physical exercise also decreases the fat around the waist and total body fat, hence slowing down the advancement of abdominal obesity. Exercise also helps to lower the blood cholesterol levels, hence lowering chances of a heart attack. Physical exercise is also recommended by doctors due to the fact, that it influences the person and the body to form a habit. If a person decides to start exercising, it will naturally boost good hormones such as serotonin, which leaves them feeling better, and that leads to the mind automatically convincing the rest of the body to make a habit out of it, so that boosts in mood and energy can be experienced more often. Hence, fitness and exercise can really improve the quality of life of an individual, and following such a lifestyle may just be the deciding factor for a healthier and longer life.

- Formula 1 for the Streets: Audi’s 1,001 PS Nuvolari Supercar Ascends
Formula 1 for the Streets: Audi’s 1,001 PS Nuvolari Supercar Ascends LIFESTYLE Formula 1 for the Streets: Audi’s 1,001 PS Nuvolari Supercar Ascends By Teyana Sharma 5 June 2026 Advertisement Audi has unveiled the Nuvolari, a groundbreaking technological flagship that marks a bold new chapter for the brand. As Audi's first supercar featuring a high-performance hybrid powertrain, it seamlessly injects the relentless spirit of Formula 1 directly onto the tarmac. Named after the legendary, fearless Italian racing driver Tazio Nuvolari , this machine represents uncompromising performance and absolute engineering focus. The Nuvolari stands as the fastest and most powerful production vehicle in the history of the four rings: The Powertrain: Combines a 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine (revving up to 10,000 rpm) with three axial flux electric motors. Output: Generates a massive combined system output of 1,001 PS (736 kW) and up to 2,150 Nm of front-axle torque. Velocity: Rockets from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 2.6 seconds, reaching a top speed exceeding 350 km/h. Built on a lightweight Audi Space Frame with a first-of-its-kind carbon exterior, the Nuvolari utilizes advanced active aerodynamics. A Formula 1-inspired front S-duct and a deployable adaptive rear wing automatically adjust to supply over 400 kg of downforce when cornering or braking. To handle this extreme performance, the next-generation quattro predictive ride system monitors grip level, steering angle, and yaw rate to proactively stabilize the vehicle before traction is ever lost. Stopping power is delivered via the heavy-duty Audi Ceramic Pro brake-by-wire system, capable of handling deceleration loads on par with an F1 car. Finished in a signature Titanium paint, the supercar debuts Audi's new monolithic design philosophy. Inside, the heavily driver-centric cabin sports lightweight carbon fiber seats and an intelligent, dual-zone color layout separating the focused, dark front cockpit from a lighter Shadow Dune rear environment. Staking Audi's claim at the absolute pinnacle of desirability, production of the Nuvolari is strictly limited to 499 units globally. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in the first half of 2027.

- Queen’s Land
by Neha Pande TRAVEL Queen’s Land by Neha Pande 1 September 2020 Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Queen’s Land also known as London has magic in its heart like Hogwarts and Fashion in its veins. From London Fashion week to Buckingham Palace, this place is a must visit for all travellers. The best time to visit is either spring when all the natural beauty comes to life like tiny dewdrops early morning or during Christmas to see the snow clad city with Santa’s magic and the beauty of British Christmas. Tourists are drawn to London’s museums, history, theatre, pubs and the beauty of the Queen’s Land. The only problems that tourists might face is that London is extremely expensive and it rains pretty often so carry your coats and umbrellas. London is known for many beautiful places to visit, yet tourists have 5 place on their list which everyone visiting London must visit- The Big Ben which is set in the heart of Parliament Squared and the Houses of Parliament. Big Ben is without a doubt the world’s most famous clock which is right next door to the equally famous Houses of Parliament with the House of Lords and House of Commons. The Tower of London and the Tower bridge, these two bridges have been used as synonyms all around the world but no the bridges are separate yet both beautifully constructed in their own ways. You’ll have to come to London to visit both the bridges and check out their difference in style. The Buckingham Palace, the Queen’s residence was built in 1703 as a house for 3rd Earl of Mulgrave but was purchased over in 1761 by King George III and since then it has harboured Royalties and Royal delegates. The Westminster Alley formally known as Collegiate Church is a large Gothic Abbey Church which is the perfect place to bring out the Goth in You. The church is just nearby the Palace of Westminster which is something which one must check out. It’s the perfect place for some fun Gothic Photoshoot. Trafalgar Square is in the heart of London and is a large pedestrian square with the beautiful statue of Admiral Lord Nelson on a large Collin with four statues of lions around him. This square celebrates the Battle of Trafalgar fought in 1805. One of the best features of this square is the National Art Gallery facing it. Other than that you need to go Museum hopping to satisfy your intellect and London is known for its museums and artefacts from all around Europe. Many museums like Tate, City Museums , National Gallery, Historical museum are free! So you don’t have to spend a single penny to visit! Theatres, authentic and fusion delectables, Brick Lane for pictures, The London eye, Cathedrals etc are other things you can not miss if you are in London. You especially can not miss the beautiful gardens and pubs for some amazing selfies, fun and booze. If you are visiting London then the main mode of transportation are subways or buses, if you feel like spending a bit more than you can take cabs but it’s better to get a subway card if you are visiting for a while and splurge the savings on shopping as London is also known as one of the shopping centrals so don’t miss out a chance to shop for top brand clothing which are in style. The best way to visit London or any other city is to explore and to talk to the locals. Locals know more about the city than the internet can ever tell you. So explore, interact and have fun!

- Jainil Mehta: A Soulful Symphony
Jainil Mehta: A Soulful Symphony LIFESTYLE Jainil Mehta: A Soulful Symphony by Akshra Khandelwal 6 September 2023 Advertisement Dance has the power to captivate hearts and stir emotions like nothing else. For Jainil Mehta, dance became more than just a hobby; it became a lifelong passion that drove him to pursue it professionally. In this candid interview with L’utopia Magazine, Jainil takes us on an enthralling journey through his love for dance, the challenges he conquered, and the inspiring achievements that have defined his career. Unearthing the Passion "How did you discover your passion for dance, and what inspired you to pursue it professionally?" Jainil shares, "As a typical Indian parent, my mom enrolled me in various classes at the age of 5. Dance, among them all, continued to resonate with me as the years passed." The allure of dance grew stronger, and by Grade 6, Jainil realized that his calling extended beyond performing; he was also drawn to teaching and choreography. This revelation inspired him to pursue dance professionally, and after Grade 12, he sought formal education in the art by applying to dance colleges. The Synchronization of Dance and the Online World Jainil's online journey commenced in May 2019 when he was in search of dancers to join his classes. Instagram and Youtube played crucial roles in connecting him with potential students and fellow dance creators, making his online presence a vital part of his dance career. "I kept DANCE as a priority amidst all lifestyle posts," Jainil reveals, proving that dance has been the heartbeat of his virtual presence from the beginning. Epiphanies on Stage "Tell us about any memorable performances or experiences in your dance career," we inquire eagerly. Jainil's eyes light up as he recalls the moment he stepped into the USC Kaufman School of Dance building after being accepted. It was a dream come true, and spending four years studying and obtaining a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance became a thrilling and unforgettable adventure for him. Choreographing Dreams "If you could choreograph a celebrity, who would it be and why?" we ask. Without a moment's hesitation, Jainil expresses his love for Bollywood and reveals his desire to choreograph any Bollywood celebrity. Having grown up immersed in Bollywood movies since childhood, the idea of contributing to a romantic comedy film, Jainil's favorite genre, excites him. The Triumph of Individuality "My biggest accomplishment was bringing men in skirts into the limelight," Jainil proudly declares. What began as a personal journey transformed into a powerful movement, inspiring countless individuals to embrace bold choices and conquer their insecurities fearlessly. Conquering Challenges with Grace As with any artistic endeavor, Jainil encountered challenges in reaching his audience. He acknowledges that marketing and understanding algorithms were hurdles to overcome. However, his belief in being true to himself and showcasing his talent on social media proved instrumental in building a global community of over 10,000 students. Nurturing Aspiring Dancers Addressing aspiring dancers, Jainil offers sage advice: "Use dance as your meditation - to center and ground yourself. Do not be afraid of challenges - embrace them and flow through them." He encourages young dancers to find solace and strength in their art, reminding them that life has other battles to fight. "I want to create the first-ever accredited higher education dance program in India," Jainil shares his ambitious goal. He envisions a program that fosters global exchange, interdisciplinary learning, and partnerships, allowing dancers to develop their artistic choices and identities, forging unique careers. Jainil Mehta's passion for dance, his journey from discovery to profession, and his unwavering dedication to his craft have illuminated the world of dance and inspired thousands.

- Ferrari Luce And The Beauty Of Doing Less
Ferrari Luce And The Beauty Of Doing Less LIFESTYLE Ferrari Luce And The Beauty Of Doing Less By Anurag Sen 12 February 2026 Advertisement Some cars impress you instantly. Others grow on you the longer you sit with them. Ferrari Luce belongs firmly to the second kind. The more you look, the more it reveals, not through excess or spectacle, but through restraint. As a car enthusiast, that is what makes it exciting. Ferrari has not tried to overwhelm the senses here. Instead, it has chosen to calm them. https://video.wixstatic.com/video/08ff15_4864ed8e78dd45a4bdd3b2e25e62567e/1080p/mp4/file.mp4 What stands out immediately about the Luce is how confident the interior feels. There is no desperation to prove that it is electric. No giant screens screaming for attention. No cluttered interfaces trying to do everything at once. The cabin feels composed, almost meditative, designed around the driver rather than technology. It reminds you that Ferrari still believes driving is an experience first, not a software demonstration. The design language is subtle, but deeply considered. The cabin is treated as one clean volume, with every element placed where it naturally belongs. Controls feel intentional. Physical buttons, toggles, and dials return with purpose, and they feel right. There is something deeply satisfying about touching a control and feeling a response instead of swiping at glass. Ferrari understands this instinctively, and Luce reflects that understanding beautifully. The steering wheel is a perfect example of this philosophy. It carries a simplified three spoke design that quietly nods to Ferrari’s heritage while feeling thoroughly modern. Exposed aluminium elements are not hidden away, but celebrated. The layout feels intuitive, almost familiar, as if you do not need to learn it. It just works. That sense of familiarity is rare in modern interiors, especially in electric cars, and Ferrari deserves credit for preserving it. Then there is the binnacle, arguably the most striking feature of the interior. This is where Luce truly shines. The blend of physical needles with digital displays is not just visually impressive, it feels emotionally right. The needle adds soul. The screen adds clarity. Together, they create an interface that feels alive rather than artificial. The fact that the binnacle moves with the steering wheel only strengthens that connection between driver and machine. It feels like the car is responding to you, not the other way around. Overhead controls and the carefully arranged center console add to this cockpit like atmosphere. Nothing feels wasted. Nothing feels decorative for the sake of it. Ferrari and LoveFrom have clearly spent time thinking about how hands move, how eyes travel, and how moments inside a car actually unfold. It is design rooted in use, not just aesthetics. Material choice plays a quiet but powerful role. Recycled aluminium is machined and finished with care, giving it depth and texture. Glass surfaces feel purposeful rather than flashy. Even the key becomes part of the experience, turning the act of starting the car into something almost ceremonial. These are small details, but they are the kind enthusiasts notice and appreciate. What Ferrari Luce proves is that progress does not need to be loud. It can be elegant. It can be focused. It can respect the driver. In a time where interiors are becoming more distracting than engaging, Luce feels like a return to clarity. A reminder that great design does not shout. It invites you in and lets you discover it at your own pace. And that, perhaps, is why this car feels special. It trusts the driver.

- I don’t dream, I have ambitions: Pavitra Punia talks about her goals, inspirations and wonderful acting career
I don’t dream, I have ambitions: Pavitra Punia talks about her goals, inspirations and wonderful acting career by Rupashree Ravi I don’t dream, I have ambitions: Pavitra Punia talks about her goals, inspirations and wonderful acting career 30 June 2022 COVER STORIES Advertisement Television actress Pavitra Punia is a bundle of talent. She is known for her roles in several popular television serials and for starring in reality shows. In an exclusive interview, she shared her experiences of playing different iconic characters, her ambitions and thoughts on feminism. Without a doubt, the television industry is very dynamic and competitive. It is not easy for actresses to leave their mark. Sharing her views on this, Punia said, “The industry is always going to be a hard place for everyone to leave their mark. There are so many amazing talents and a lot of competition indeed. The film and television industry is not an easy one to prove your work. But I am confident that I’m going to leave my mark. I still have a long way to go and a long journey to follow ahead.” Punia started her career in 2009 as a contestant in MTV Splitsvilla 3. She got her first lead role as Geet Dhillon in the Star Plus serial Love U Zindagi, where she starred opposite Sidharth Shukla. She went on to play many roles in different serials, from Anushka in Hongey Judaa Na Hum to Poulomi Roy in Naagin 3. She was also a contestant in Box Cricket League and Bigg Boss. Punia is currently seen in the Dangal TV show Ishq ki Daastan – Naagmani as Mohini. “I’m appearing in a new television show after a year and a half. It’s a daily soap and I have started filming for it, so please stay tuned,” she added. She spoke about her experience so far as an actress. She shared, “My experience in the industry has been wonderful. I had never thought of becoming an actress. When I got a chance to become one, the industry itself gave me the best and I think I’m just bearing the fruits of the labour that I put in every day as an actress. I love my job as I get to play different characters and live so many lives. Not everyone gets this opportunity. It’s a wonderful experience to have so many fans and to be a role model for people.” Punia’s favourite actresses are Charlize Theron and Jennifer Lopez. She cited them as inspirations and as role models she really looks up to when portraying a role. She also admires Kareena Kapoor and her work. “I also look up to myself and I see myself in the mirror along with my to-do list of goals,” she added. When asked where she sees her acting career taking her, she shared, “I think I see my acting career taking me to the heights that I’m very ambitious about. I don’t dream; I have ambitions. I believe dreams are meant to be broken. But my ambitions are like a bucket list. It’s a long list that is yet to complete. But yes, I know for sure that I see myself just like a superstar.” Talking about her favourite roles out of all the characters she has played, she said, “It was fun and easy to pick up the role of Timnasa in Baalveer Returns and even the character of Nidhi Chabra in Ye Hai Mohabbatein. I think I have portrayed all these characters well. It’s like someone has poured me into these characters. My most favourite characters are definitely these two. Currently, I’m playing the role of Mohini in Ishq ki Daastan – Naagmani. It’s really fun and is among my favourites.” Punia also shared her views on feminism and gave a message for all women. She stressed on the importance of being true to who you are. “It’s important for women to be themselves. They should be kind and fierce and also maintain a balance between both. Be healthy and honest about your bodies and have respect for all people out there. I believe being independent and earning for the family is also important. Live beautifully and fiercely,” she mentioned. Finally, she addressed her fans and thanked them for their support. She advised them to always be kind and be what they are. She said, “At the end of the day you’re going to reminisce about how you spent your time. Stay true to yourselves and live a beautiful life. Do not change yourself for anyone. Let people accept you the way you are. That is your superpower.” 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 The Many Chapters Of Lekha Prajapati, From Performer To Storyteller 6 July 2026 COVER STORIES By Sakshi Shah Across Languages, One Voice: Sheena Chohan 1 April 2026 COVER STORIES By Sakshi Shah Mananveer Singh On Making Music That Feels Natural And Real 24 March 2026 COVER STORIES By Sakshi Shah Falak Khan On Acting, Identity, And Letting Her Work Speak For Itself 9 March 2026 COVER STORIES RELATED POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement

Founded by the bold and visionary Mervina Nyampulu , I AM isn’t simply a label; it’s a movement that fuses style with spirit, silhouette with selfhood, and design with declaration. From its very name, the brand invites dialogue. It’s not a statement of what one wears, but of who one is. Mervina Nyampulu didn’t enter fashion to follow. She came to forge. With East African roots and a globally informed perspective, she channels her experience as a cultural entrepreneur and advocate into garments that feel less like products and more like manifestos. Her background in building ethically driven businesses like Bella Luxury has deeply informed her approach to I AM, which wears its values as visibly as its textiles. Sustainability isn’t a buzzword here—it’s a practice. Every piece is created with ethical sourcing, low-impact materials, and a profound respect for the hands that shape them. Each stitch is mindful. Each silhouette is intentional. On the Thailand Fashion Week runway, I AM arrived with a quiet command. The garments didn’t clamor for attention—they held it. Structured coats, flowing dresses, sharp lines softened by movement—everything felt deeply rooted in balance. The palette was grounded yet bold, moving between neutrals and earth tones with quiet flashes of strength. Models walked not as placeholders, but as presences. They didn’t perform the clothes—they embodied them. There is an undeniable architectural logic to the designs—clean seams, strong shoulders, carefully measured volume—but there’s also something deeply emotional beneath it all. These aren’t just clothes to be seen in. These are clothes for women who know how they want to feel. Women who define themselves on their own terms, who take up space without apology. It’s this interiority—the intention beneath the form—that gives I AM its resonance. Beyond aesthetics, the brand is also a conduit for conversation. On social media, Mervina has opened space for women around the world to answer the simple but profound prompt: “I am…” The responses speak volumes—testaments of identity, resilience, grief, joy, motherhood, ambition. It becomes clear that the garments are only one part of the expression. The other part is voice. Shared. Claimed. Reclaimed. I AM isn’t interested in dictating identity—it’s about making room for it. What also sets the label apart is its rejection of fashion’s usual rush. There’s a slowness to I AM—not in relevance, but in intention. No trend-chasing. No hollow virality. Just thoughtful design rooted in purpose. The brand is expanding organically, appearing in curated showcases rather than saturating markets, growing its presence through authenticity and word of mouth. The label’s social media—still emerging—is raw, real, and refreshingly unfiltered. It shows fittings, process, imperfections. It lets you in. And in an industry obsessed with polish, that kind of honesty stands out. At Thailand Fashion Week, this clarity of vision translated seamlessly to the stage. The audience wasn’t simply watching a show—they were encountering a philosophy. There was something grounding about the way the models moved, the way the fabric flowed, the way every look felt like a chapter in a single story. I AM didn’t just present a new collection—it reminded us what fashion can be when stripped of noise: a tool for self-definition. A mirror for cultural pride. A frame for empowerment. Mervina Nyampulu doesn’t design for the moment. She designs for meaning. Her clothes aren’t driven by seasonal urgency—they’re guided by timeless values. Her collections aren’t a sprint—they’re a slow, steady shaping of a visual language rooted in authenticity, ethics, and narrative. In every piece, you feel not only the eye of the designer, but the heart behind the brand. I AM is not for everyone. It doesn’t try to be. It is for the woman who dresses with intention. Who sees her wardrobe not as armor or performance, but as truth. Who doesn’t need to be louder to be heard—only clearer. In a world full of echoes, I AM speaks in its own voice. It speaks in fabric, in movement, in meaning. And most of all, it speaks in solidarity with every woman who wears it—not to impress, but to express. As the last model stepped off the Thailand Fashion Week runway, what lingered wasn’t just the memory of a collection—it was the clarity of a brand that knows exactly what it stands for. I AM is a name. A message. A promise. And above all, it’s a reminder: fashion, at its most powerful, doesn’t just tell you what’s beautiful—it tells you who you are.
