by Aparajita Jaiswal Sneak Peek into Restaurant Kitchens 6 July 2022 FOOD Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Should you or should you not look behind the restaurant kitchen doors You are celebrating your promotion at work at your favorite restaurant and you have ordered a tasty, locally grown organic meal. You indulge completely to savor your food, while feeling good that your life appears to be just perfect. What could be better? Well, as a starter: the conditions in which your food is prepared. Food with attitude is okay, but food with hygiene is rather more important. Ever wondered whether or not the food, we tend to treat ourselves with at restaurants, is prepared maintain the standard conditions of cleanliness and hygiene? Ever thought of having a sneak peek into the kitchen of your favorite restaurant and say Hi to the chefs? Maybe you should, once in a while. Good food is definitely good vibes until you get sick because of the low standard of cleanliness and hygiene at restaurants and eateries. Catching food infections at a restaurant is the worst nightmares of their guests, more commonly evident in children. Customers would obviously wish to dine in a restaurant that serves hygienic food and focuses on cleanliness. The point of concern here now is how do we decide which of the restaurant serves hygienic food and which of them do not maintain the standard hygiene conditions. As a usual ideology, it is assumed that the high standard five start restaurants serve the most hygienic food and maintain high standard cleanliness. Provided the fact that the entire staff of such a restaurant is well qualified and considerably trained, justifies such an image of the restaurant in people’s minds. People usually prefer the high standard and obviously expensive restaurants over the shabby, précised or pinpoint restaurants with a moderate yet considerable ambience and quality services. This preferentiality is due to the assumption of the fact that the more you pay, the higher quality of services you avail and thus the food served must be hygienic enough. The actual fact might be that you end up paying for the ambience and services provided more than over the food served. Must give this a thought! Taking the quality of food served and hygiene maintained into consideration, there is always a chance that due to such high maintenance of the 5-star restaurants, they have an access to well-furnished technology as well. There are always freezers which help them store food for longer period of time. In fact, the food served in all the franchises of large and renowned brands, have a supply of their raw materials, always in a frozen form. Nobody would actually want to eat something that is in the refrigerator of the house for a day or two, but readily enjoy such meals in the restaurants. Street foods, highly enjoyed and populous among the young, is considered to be oily and unhygienic by many. Several videos and pictures of the unhygienic conditions in which street food is prepared are timely circulated over the social media. People here tend to be very aware and concerned about the hygiene maintained and threaten the owners of small stalls by recording their videos and posting over the social media negative review or feedback. However, the fact that a considerable proportion of the entire population within a metropolitan city relies upon the street food cannot be taken for granted. What else could make the best example, but the Vada Pav in Mumbai is a staple diet for everyone, be it employees, strugglers or anyone as such. Do people here talk about hygiene? Obviously not! Is your health adversely effected by Vada Pav? Obviously not! It is not all about the quality of services provided, the fact that these street foods are freshly prepared everyday and you can actually witness the food being prepared and immediately served is what makes it safe. The fact to thus understand is that the points to consider while choosing which restaurant to dine in, shouldn’t just the ambience or the quality of service provided but the quality of food, the raw materials used, the steps taken by the cooks and serving staff to maintain hygiene and of course the freshness of the food served. You cannot form a general opinion regarding the hygiene conditions of restaurants based upon the hierarchy of restaurants. The places like food stalls can serve hygienic food as well. The high standard restaurants and at times fail to do so as well and vice versa. You, as a consumer need to wisely choose among all these restaurants. Make sure that you dine to be healthy and fine.

Suhani Kapoor On Dancing Through The Challenges And Defying The Digital Norms by Akshra Khandelwal Suhani Kapoor On Dancing Through The Challenges And Defying The Digital Norms 26 August 2023 LIFESTYLE Advertisement In a world dominated by pixels and screens, where the allure of the camera's lens can shape destinies and inspire millions, we had the privilege of sitting down with the vibrant and determined influencer Suhani Kapoor. Amidst the hustle of her college life and the unrelenting demands of content creation, Suhani welcomed us into her world, sharing her creative journey, motivations, and aspirations. As we exchanged pleasantries, Suhani's genuine warmth set the tone for our conversation. "I am doing good," she smiled, "I feel blessed and grateful for everything." A statement that resonated with her followers, as her journey to becoming an influencer has been nothing short of remarkable. Sipping on her tea, Suhani began her creative narrative. "Being in front of the camera always excited me," she recalled, a twinkle in her eye. "During my childhood, I recorded myself doing anything and everything, speaking my heart out and dancing in front of the camera." The seeds of her future as an influencer were sown early, nurtured by her intrinsic love for self-expression. The pivotal moment arrived when Suhani discovered the app "musically," now known as TikTok. "I started making videos randomly, never expecting anything, but gradually gaining many followers," she reminisced. By the time TikTok was banned in India in 2019, Suhani had already amassed a following of 300k. Unfazed by the setback, she shifted her focus to Instagram and began creating reels, steadily building a new audience. But the journey could have been smoother. Suhani shared the heartache of waking up one day to find her Instagram account hacked or deleted. "I tried to regain that account for months but could never get it back." Undeterred, she started anew, and within two years, she had garnered over 100k followers. Her determination to inspire others through creativity remained undiminished. "If you could have any superpower, what would it be?" we asked. Suhani's response revealed the empathetic core of her being. "I would choose to end the negativity and hate humans have for each other," she said. Her wish to dispel the darkness resonated deeply, reflecting the profound impact cyberbullying and negativity can have on individuals. "As a creator, I receive a lot of hate daily for what I do," Suhani shared candidly. "And I know that even a person not into content creation also goes through hate in real life." Her superpower, a testament to her resilience and compassion, highlighted the pressing need for kindness and understanding in the digital age. Curious about the woman behind the camera, we asked about a typical day in Suhani's life. Her response was refreshingly relatable. "A typical day in my life would look like getting up at 8, then getting ready for college." The routine of a college student was coupled with the unique demands of an influencer's life. After college, Suhani finds solace in her interactions with loved ones. "Giving my mom some tea about the day, playing and petting Buddy (my pet)." The simple moments ground her in the whirlwind. The role of friends, family, and personal reflection is pivotal, emphasising the balance between her digital persona and her true self. Navigating the tumultuous teenage years, Suhani spoke about her sources of motivation. "Sometimes, I feel unmotivated and anxious when my days are not going well or too hectic." Her vulnerability highlighted the challenges influencers, particularly young ones, face in managing multiple responsibilities. Yet, the uplifting messages from her followers keep her going. "I open my Instagram DMs and find so many people loving and supporting me for what I do; that really makes me feel blessed and cheered up." Her parents, too, stand as pillars of strength, supporting her journey to become the best version of herself. As our conversation flowed, Suhani shared a glimpse of her career's most cherished milestones. One that stood out was her debut as the main lead in the music video "Mann Aasmaani Hua." The opportunity to star in her first-ever song album was a testament to the power of her loyal followers. Another milestone was the offer to lead a television show on a prestigious channel, underscoring her rising influence in the industry. Before we bid adieu, we asked Suhani for a message she'd like to share with the world. Her words were a testament to her authenticity and her unyielding optimism. "My message to the world would be, JUST BE YOURSELF. And also enjoy it to the fullest because we all have just one life, and we all should be grateful for everything." Her parting advice encapsulated the essence of her journey: "Believe in yourself no matter how difficult the times are. You do you. Don't care about the world; if something makes you happy, do it." As we wrapped up our conversation, Suhani Kapoor's story of resilience, creativity, and the unwavering pursuit of self-expression remained etched. With her positivity and determination, Suhani inspires countless individuals to embrace their true selves and navigate life's challenges gracefully.

by Aishwarya Tasting the sunny side of Christmas: Christmas Cocktails 2 November 2022 FOOD Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement It's that time of the year again! With Christmas just over our heads, you might think of the cocktail options to serve your guest. No Christmas party is complete without the classic cocktails. So, here are some of the classic yet yummy cocktails, you can try this Christmas. We also have some non-alcoholic options for the non-drinkers! Eggnog: It is a creamy, sweet, and classic addition to your cocktails recipes, and can be consumed with or without alcohol. It originates from medieval Britain’s “posset”, a milky drink used to toast. The American colonies adopted this drink in the 1700s, using rum as the alcoholic base. Since milk and egg were available widely, it was an affordable drink option to go with. Well, why does it have this weird name? It is said to have derived from the word “noggin”, which was a wooden cup, and “grog”, a strong beer. Hot Buttered Rum: It is tracked back to Europe in the 1600s when sailors consumed hot and spicy drinks to fight off the cold weather. Then England captured Jamaica in 1655 when rum became a much-preferred option than brandy. The Hot Buttered Rum consists of alcohol, sugar or honey, boiling water, spices, and a thick layer of butter. Sounds weird, but you should give it a try for sure! Candy Cane Martini: This drink is a mix of all the best flavours and colours that are appropriate for the season. Candy Cane Martini is a mix of vanilla vodka, creme de cacao, and peppermint schnapps topped with a candy cane. It looks and tastes, just like the Christmas season. The origin of the Candy Cane Martini is still unknown, but the classic martini is said to have originated during the Gold Rush, when a bartender named Martinez ran out of champagne and hence mixed what he had, in short, our today’s cocktail was born that day. Tom & Jerry: A drink that is just as fun and weird as the cartoon. Tom & Jerry is a creamy drink similar to Eggnog but is served warm. It is believed to have been created by British sports journalist Pierce Egan and has become a winter staple today. It is just warm milk, but with steroids. Kidding, it is warm milk mixed with shots of brandy and rum. Even today many bars mix up batches of warm milk for the chilly winter night. Non-alcoholic Thanksgiving Punch: Even though the name suggests Thanksgiving, drinks are best served when you like having one. So, the Thanksgiving punch is great for Christmas too, as it has notes of cinnamon and orange that give the perfect cosiness for the winter. It consists of apple cider, sparkling blood orange juice, and sparkling grape juice with a dash of fresh orange and cranberry. A splash of rum, reposado tequila, or Anejo tequila is all you need, to transform this mocktail into a cocktail. Festivals are the season to celebrate, and the celebration gets even better with a tasty drink. Do try these cocktails this Christmas, and enjoy sipping on life forever. No Christmas party is complete without the classic cocktails. So, here are some of the classic yet yummy cocktails, you can try this Christmas.

The Thursday Murder Club Reading The Book Watching The Film Living With The Story By Shrinivas Kodape The Thursday Murder Club Reading The Book Watching The Film Living With The Story 11 January 2026 LIFESTYLE Advertisement Thursday began like any other day. Quiet. Predictable. The kind of day that passes without asking for attention. That feeling followed me as I opened The Thursday Murder Club , unaware that the story waiting inside would slowly rearrange the way I thought about time, curiosity and presence. It did not rush me. It did not announce itself. It simply invited me to sit and listen. The story unfolds inside a retirement community where routine shapes the rhythm of life. Four residents meet every Thursday to discuss unsolved murder cases. Elizabeth Joyce Ibrahim and Ron appear unremarkable at first glance. As the pages turn they reveal intelligence sharpened by experience and curiosity sustained by connection. Reading it felt like leaning into a conversation that grows richer the longer you stay with it. Richard Osman writes with calm assurance. The prose carries warmth and clarity. Humor emerges through observation rather than effort. Joyce’s diary entries add emotional texture to the narrative. She notices what others overlook and gives weight to everyday moments. Elizabeth carries authority with quiet confidence. Ibrahim brings thoughtful structure. Ron brings conviction rooted in history. Together they form a balance that feels natural and human. The pleasure of reading The Thursday Murder Club comes from its understanding of people. Aging is portrayed as awareness rather than decline. Experience refines instinct. Curiosity remains a source of energy. The mystery unfolds alongside conversations about memory routine and companionship. The investigation matters yet the relationships give it meaning. By the time I finished the book these characters felt familiar. Watching the film later felt like meeting them again in a different room. The shift from page to screen carried the same sense of ease that defines the story. Helen Mirren ’s Elizabeth commands attention through restraint. Her presence communicates intelligence and authority without excess. Every movement feels deliberate. Celia Imrie brings Joyce to life with warmth and sincerity. Her expressions carry observation and emotional openness. Watching her felt like seeing Joyce’s inner world expressed through gesture and timing. Ben Kingsley ’s Ibrahim offers steadiness and quiet thoughtfulness. His performance reflects a man who values logic, empathy and balance. Pierce Brosnan’s Ron brings energy shaped by lived experience. His warmth and conviction give the group momentum. Together the four performances feel connected and lived in. Their chemistry suggests shared history and genuine familiarity. The film mirrors the book’s tone through patience and attention. The setting remains calm and composed allowing tension to build through conversation and silence. Scenes unfold without hurry. Humor arrives naturally through timing and interaction. The mystery develops through observation rather than spectacle. Watching the film after reading the book highlighted the strengths of both mediums. The book allows access to inner thoughts especially through Joyce’s reflections. The film offers immediacy through faces, voices and presence. Each version adds a different layer to the same story. Together they create a complete experience. What stayed with me across both experiences was the story’s relationship with time. The Thursday meetings become a ritual that gives structure and purpose. These characters remain engaged with the world around them. Intelligence operates quietly. Relevance comes from participation rather than recognition. Companionship becomes the emotional center of the narrative. The mystery resolves with clarity and care. Clues appear naturally. Revelations feel earned. Satisfaction comes from watching attention and patience come together. The story trusts the reader and viewer to notice and that trust creates depth. Reading The Thursday Murder Club felt comforting and stimulating. Watching the film felt familiar and engaging.

by Aparajita Jaiswal The planet’s number one choice of beverage 7 July 2022 FOOD Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Is coffee just a brewed drink prepared from roasted coffee beans? A love of all things connected with coffee has brought both large and small companies into the world of coffee production and trading. Coffee culture is constantly changing as coffee drinkers seek new ways to enjoy their favorite beverage. People get together for a cup of coffee and a whole cosmos of conversations. In North America and a lot of western European countries, Starbucks and other coffee chains have dominated the market because they are providing to the customers a complete experience around coffee. Coffee and friends, coffee and work, coffee and snacks and coffee to go! The Irish mix coffee with whiskey and they call it “Irish coffee”. In Italy the espresso and espresso machine were born and made into the favorite whole-day beverage of Italians. In Greece, there is an old fashioned coffee shop for old gentlemen, the “kafenio”, where they drink Greek coffee and exchange political ideas or they play cards and a board game called “tavli”. Also, some countries, like Colombia or Brazil, the whole economy is based in coffee. Although, the majority of coffee is produced in Brazil. It produces 40% of the world’s coffee. Interestingly enough, the word espresso comes from Italian and means “expressed” or “forced out”. Espresso is made by forcing very hot water under high pressure through finely ground, compacted coffee. Wherein, the cappuccino was named after Capuchin friars because its color resembles the Capuchin robe. Contrary to the popular belief, dark roast and light roast coffee actually have a similar amount of caffeine. “Coffee – the favorite drink of the civilized world.” – Thomas Jefferson Historically, the word ‘coffee’ comes from the Arabic word ‘qahwah’ which refers to a type of wine. Before coffee became widely available, the popular breakfast drink was beer. No one knows exactly how or when coffee was discovered, though there are many legends about its origin. It is said that coffee grown worldwide can trace its heritage back centuries to the ancient coffee forests on the Ethiopian plateau. Legend believes, the goat herder, Kaldi, first discovered the potential of these beloved beans. The story goes that that Kaldi discovered coffee after he noticed that after eating the berries from a certain tree, his goats became so energetic that they did not want to sleep at night. Kaldi reported his findings to the abbot of the local monastery, who made a drink with the berries and found that it kept him alert through the long hours of evening prayer. The abbot shared his discovery with the other monks at the monastery, and knowledge of the energising berries began a journey which would bring these beans across the globe. Before people learned how to brew coffee, east African tribes mixed coffee berries with animal fat and consumed it as food. It takes a lot to brew the perfect cup of coffee. Some of the best coffee in the world comes from high-quality beans and unique processing methods. Each of these specialty coffees is known for their distinct flavour and aroma, as well as their high price tag. “Kopi Luwak” is the most expensive coffee in the world. It comes from Indonesia and is made from beans digested from the Asian Palm Civet. In other words, it comes from cat poop. It sells for €350 and up per kilo! Another one of the most expensive coffee in the world is Black Ivory Coffee. It can cost up to $1,100 per kilogram. This coffee is produced from part-digested coffee cherries eaten and defecated by Thai elephants. “Beethoven was such an ardent coffee lover that he’d count 60 beans per cup before making his brew.” Not only can your daily cup of joe help you feel more energised, burn fat and improve physical performance, it may also lower your risk of several conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. In fact, coffee may even boost longevity. A study by the University of Texas has found that men who drank two cups a day were 42 per cent less likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction compared to men who didn’t. Studies have shown that drinking coffee may lower your risk of depression. Globally people consume about 2.25 billion cups of coffee every day. Coffee is most effective if you drink it between 9:30 and 11:30 AM. Scientists have now successfully turned ground coffee into bio-diesel, so one day coffee may be fuelling your car. Historical facts about coffee are almost unbelievable but very true like for example coffee was banned in Mecca in 1511 as it was believed to stimulate radical thinking and idleness. In ancient Arab culture, a woman could only divorce her husband if he didn’t like her coffee. Another strange fact is the Guinness World record holder for the “Oldest Cat Ever,” a 38-year-old cat named Crème Puff; drank coffee every morning her whole life. #CoffeeCoffeebeansBrazilEspressoBeverageBrazil SEARCH How to keep your skin healthy naturally FOOD Fantasy breakfast FOOD All About Homebrewing: The Art of Making Probiotic Fermented Beverages FOOD Virgin Territory: These non-alcoholic thirst quenchers are mixologist approved FOOD Tasting the sunny side of Christmas: Christmas Cocktails FOOD POPULAR POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement By Sakshi Shah Mumbai’s Take On Valentine’s, From Dinners To Sweet Endings 10 February 2026 FOOD By Shriniwas Kodape Breeze By Lebua State Tower: Duck Skin, Oolong, And The Distance Between Who You Are And Who You Were 9 September 2025 FOOD By Shriniwas Kodape China Table Restaurant At Radisson Blu Plaza Bangkok: A Dim Sum Story At Dusk 7 September 2025 FOOD By Shriniwas Kodape The Blooming Gallery: A Fever Dream Of Matcha And Moss 15 August 2025 FOOD RELATED POSTS Advertisement

Porsche Taycan Turbo GT : Luxury In Overdrive By Ananya Patankar Porsche Taycan Turbo GT : Luxury In Overdrive 19 July 2025 LIFESTYLE Advertisement The silhouette of speed, frozen in time. With Yas Marina in its rear-view mirror, Porsche’s electric flagship is rewriting the language of luxury performance. On the cool tarmac of Yas Marina Circuit , beneath the desert stars and surrounded by the hushed intensity of track lights, Porsche made history. The Taycan Turbo GT didn’t just break the record for fastest production electric vehicle around the 5.281-kilometre Formula 1-grade circuit—it shattered it, clocking in a blistering 2:07.247. With GT racing driver Ramez Azzam behind the wheel and FIA observers on watch, it was speed redefined—silent, surging, and steeped in precision. The moment was official. The message was unmistakable: this isn’t just Porsche’s fastest EV. It’s a revolution on rubber. Meet the new, redefined and evermore powerful Taycan Turbo GT. Every surface, every seam of this Porsche is a study in how performance can meet poise. The optional Weissach Package strips away the rear seats in the name of performance purity, while carbon fibre elements and a dramatic fixed rear wing don’t just add character—they subtract drag. Even when parked, it seems ready to pounce. It’s not just streamlined—it’s sculpted, as if every curve has been air-brushed by speed itself. And yet, despite its aggressive silhouette, the Taycan retains Porsche’s design ethos of grace without gimmick. This is not a car you drive. It’s a car that propels you. With up to 1108 PS on tap thanks to Launch Control and Attack Mode—borrowed straight from Porsche’s Formula E bloodline—the Taycan Turbo GT explodes from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.2 seconds. Top speed? 305 km/h. But those are just numbers. What is truly astonishing is how it all feels: the torque isn’t delivered, it’s detonated. Corners don’t resist, they invite. Straightaways feel like warp zones. It’s not brute strength—it’s balletic savagery, every motion engineered with minute attention and unleashed with seamless poise. At the heart of the Taycan Turbo GT lies a pulse inverter derived from Porsche’s 99X Formula E car , boosting current and response time to near-telepathic levels. The Porsche Active Ride suspension, tuned specifically for this GT variant, balances wheel loads like a tightrope walker mid-performance. And those brakes—lightweight ceramics refined with optimized disc chambers—shave kilograms where it counts. Even the weight savings from the Weissach Package are deliberate: 75 kilograms gone, and not a gram wasted. Its performance is measured in milliseconds and engineered in milligrams. The result? A machine that doesn’t just harness electricity—it commands it. As for the driving experience, low-slung and snug, the driver’s seat in the Taycan Turbo GT isn’t a throne—it’s an exoskeleton. You feel it before you even move: the pulse of potential underfoot, the poised anticipation of launch. As Azzam noted, “You sit low in the car so you feel connected.” And connected you are—every flick of the wrist on the steering, every feather of the throttle, met with immediate, almost emotional response. This isn’t merely about performance. It’s about presence. The GT isn’t trying to impress you. It’s trying to include you—in something precise, poised, and unrelentingly Porsche. And yet, despite its circuit credentials, the Taycan Turbo GT is still wrapped in the refined language of everyday Porsche luxury. Inside, it’s all clean interfaces, sculpted surfaces, and tactile satisfaction. It's as practical as it is provocative—offering the driver all the data, comfort, and control needed for daily roads, even as it carries the DNA of a track predator. There's an ease here, a confidence. No shouting. No theatre. Just seamless transitions—from traffic light to track lap, from asphalt to afterglow. There was a time when electric was seen as an alternative. Then, it became inevitable. Now, thanks to machines like the Taycan Turbo GT, it’s aspirational. This is not just Porsche's fastest production EV. It’s one of its most significant. A car that shows how sustainability and sensation can coexist—without compromise. With every lap record it shatters, with every supercar it silently humbles, the Taycan Turbo GT whispers a truth that’s getting louder with every passing year: the future isn’t coming. It’s already at the start line. And it’s wearing a Porsche crest.

By Sakshi Shah By Sakshi Shah Nykaa’s Winter Gifting Edit: Easy, Thoughtful Beauty Gifts Everyone Will Actually Use 23 December 2025 BEAUTY Advertisement Advertisement December does this thing where gifting suddenly feels urgent. There’s always one more friend, one more plan, one more reason to show up with something wrapped nicely. And beauty gifts? They’re the safest bet especially when they’re things people actually use, not just admire for five minutes. This winter, Nykaa’s edit makes gifting feel less like pressure and more like an easy win. Think vanity staples, low-effort indulgences, and products that quietly slide into everyday routines. Starting with something simple but oddly satisfying the Praush Beauty Pink Vanity Handheld Mirror . It’s cute without trying too hard, compact enough to live in a tote, and instantly makes touch-ups feel a little more put together. This is the kind of gift that doesn’t scream “beauty product” but somehow ends up being used every single day. It’s practical, yes but also very Instagram-friendly, which never hurts. If fragrance gifting feels risky, the Aqualogica Refresh+ Love At First Spritz Perfume Body Mists Set of 3 solves that problem neatly. Light, wearable, and easy to reapply, these mists are made for people who like their scent to feel fresh rather than overpowering. Perfect for layering or switching moods through the day, it’s a set that feels playful and personal without committing to just one fragrance personality. For the makeup lover who keeps it neutral but never boring, the Love Earth Everyday Nudes Lip Liner - Pack of 6 is a quiet hero. From soft pinks to deeper browns, this set covers every everyday lip mood. It’s the kind of product you don’t realise you need until you have it and then you use it constantly. Ideal for gifting someone who likes options without the drama. Winter makeup can be tricky, which is where the Praush Beauty Silk Blur Moisturising Primer comes in. This one’s all about balanced hydration without heaviness, smoothness without feeling like too much. It preps the skin effortlessly, making makeup sit better while still feeling comfortable in colder weather. A thoughtful pick for anyone who wants their base to look easy and natural. Adding a little colour to the mix, the Praush Beauty Juicy Jelly Tint – Raspberry Mood brings just the right amount of festive energy. It’s glossy, fresh, and instantly lifts a look without needing much effort. One swipe, and you’re good to go. This is the kind of product that lives in handbags and gets reapplied without a mirror, casual, but effective. For those who love a coordinated routine, the Aqualogica Refresh+ Cherry Blossom Perfume Body Wash, Mist & Gel Moisturizer Gift Set is a total winner. It takes the guesswork out of layering scents by offering a complete ritual in one box. The floral notes are uplifting without being cloying, and the gel moisturizer is a savior for anyone who hates that sticky, heavy post-lotion feeling. It’s fresh, functional, and looks beautiful sitting on a bathroom shelf. And then there’s comfort gifting, done right. The Plum BodyLovin’ Vanilla Caramello Bath & Body Gift Set is warm, cozy, and unapologetically indulgent. It’s perfect for slow winter evenings, self-care days, or simply making daily routines feel nicer. Vanilla with a caramel twist always feels festive, and this set nails that comforting, feel-good vibe. What works about this Nykaa gifting edit is how effortless it feels. Every product fits into real routines, nothing too complicated, nothing too extra. Whether you’re gifting a friend, a family member, or yourself (because that counts), these picks make winter beauty feel approachable, fun, and genuinely usable. And honestly, that’s the best kind of gift there is.

The best picnic spots around the world - that you need to visit by Aishwarya The best picnic spots around the world - that you need to visit 4 November 2022 LIFESTYLE Advertisement Scotch eggs, cheese, and champagne may sound like the ideal picnic, but add views of a rose garden, the beach, or a wildebeest stampede and it becomes even more spectacular. Picnics are everyone's favourite. So let’s see some of the best places to have your picnic, the next time! Beach picnic in Rapid Bay, Australia: Legend has it that when the explorer Colonel Light landed in Rapid Bay aboard HMS Rapid in 1830, he said he'd scarcely seen a better place, and it's difficult to disagree. The bay's sandy beach is nestled beneath cliffs that overlook the ocean and is only a 90-minute drive from Adelaide on South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula. The sea is at its warmest between October and May, so you can relax on the beach after feasting on local cheese, bread, and McLaren Vale wine from neighbouring vineyards. You can also snorkel or dive to encounter leafy sea dragons beneath the bay's jetty, as well as cowfish, pufferfish, and the rare bull ray in the nearby coral. Tanzanian bush picnic at Sanctuary Kusini: What does a picnic while viewing a wildebeest stampede sound like? Sanctuary Kusini is Tanzania's only permanent camp in the distant south of the Serengeti, overlooking grassy plains teeming with predators all year. You may have a picnic in the main lodge, which is built around a cluster of kopjes (rocky outcrops), giving you front-row seats to the Great Migration. Alternatively, you can get a hamper and have a bush picnic. Wildlife picnic in Kumana National Park, Sri Lanka: Set up your picnic basket on the banks of the river that flows through Kumana National Park, an hour's drive from Arugam Bay on Sri Lanka's east coast. As you sip your Ceylon tea, you may notice deer, wild buffalo, elephants, or leopards quenching their thirst in the river. Alternatively, spread down a blanket in Kumana Villu, a 202-hectare mangrove swamp where painted storks feed their fledglings in the treetops and pheasant-tailed jacana swim about floating nests. To avoid the annual rain, the area is best explored between April and September. Ayu in the Wild, a luxury tour company, creates customised tours with a focus on ecological and slow travel - and it can even prepare a picnic. Cherry blossom picnic in Tohoku, Japan: Try digging into an obento lunch box with a glass of sake at a table amid hundreds of pink cherry blossoms if you thought a picnic in a rose garden was romantic. Tohoku Local Secret Tours will arrange a private hanami (flower viewing) picnic on the grounds of the 1,200-year-old Shiogama Shrine in Sendai, in the Tohoku area of northern Japan, and a local musician will serenade you on a three-stringed shamisen. After your picnic, you can visit the shrine grounds. Rose garden picnic in Sacramento, California: Sacramento, known as the Farm-to-Fork Capital, is home to California's largest farmers market, so stock up on fresh vegetables and wine from the adjacent Napa and Sonoma Valleys. After you've finished your picnic, you can relax on the seats at McKinley Park Rose Garden in the city's east, which has over 1,000 rose bushes and tree roses. Every year, new types are sown. Visit between March and May to view the blossoms at their peak. What does a picnic while viewing a wildebeest stampede sound like? Sanctuary Kusini is Tanzania's only permanent camp in the distant south of the Serengeti, overlooking grassy plains teeming with predators all year. #Picnic #PicnicSpots #Travel #Japan #SriLanka #California #Tanzanian #Australia SEARCH Ankita Malik: Empowering Change And Embracing Authenticity LIFESTYLE Juggling Two Worlds: The Inspiring Journey Of Kritika Goel LIFESTYLE Juggling Law And Fashion: The Inspirational Journey Of Riddhi Nahata, A Multifaceted Influencer LIFESTYLE Nikita Pawar: From Fashion Design To Digital Stardom LIFESTYLE Join Shruti Yogi On Her Enchanting Journey From Kumkum Bhagya To Wanderlust Saga LIFESTYLE POPULAR POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement By Sakshi Shah A Matter Of Time: Tag Heuer In Project Hail Mary 12 March 2026 LIFESTYLE By Sakshi Shah The Modern Rituals Of Wellbeing 20 February 2026 LIFESTYLE By Anurag Sen Ferrari Luce And The Beauty Of Doing Less 12 February 2026 LIFESTYLE By Shriniwas Kodape Notes From The Long Way Around 8 February 2026 LIFESTYLE RELATED POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement
