- I Am: Fashion As Voice, Identity, Movement
I Am: Fashion As Voice, Identity, Movement By Anurag Sen I Am: Fashion As Voice, Identity, Movement 11 July 2025 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement When I AM took to the runway at Thailand Fashion Week AW25/26, it didn’t just showcase a collection—it delivered a proclamation. 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.

- Sky Bar By Lebua, State Tower: Where The City Pauses And The Sky Pours Back
Sky Bar By Lebua, State Tower: Where The City Pauses And The Sky Pours Back LIFESTYLE Sky Bar By Lebua, State Tower: Where The City Pauses And The Sky Pours Back By Shriniwas Kodape 28 July 2025 Advertisement The elevator ride felt like a confession. Not the kind you make with words—but the kind your body makes when it realizes it’s rising too fast for your nerves to catch up. Sixty-four floors up in Bangkok, gravity takes a step back and lets you walk into something impossible. And then, the door opens. You don’t walk into Sky Bar By Lebua , State Tower—you emerge into it. There’s no transition. No warm-up. Just you, the skyline, and a bar glowing orange like it was ripped out of a Ridley Scott film and dropped onto the edge of the earth. It should be chaotic. But it’s not. It’s curated. Controlled. Calm, in a way only places that know they’re the center of the universe can afford to be. To your right, the golden dome glints under the moonlight like something holy.To your left, Bangkok spills out beneath you—rivers, towers, heat, and movement. But up here? It’s quiet. A whisper wrapped in neon. And dead center: the bar. Sky Bar by Lebua, State Tower isn’t just one of the highest rooftop bars in the world—it’s a character in its own story. A bar with credits in a Hollywood blockbuster (The Hangover Part II), a signature cocktail born from that film’s chaos, and a reputation that hangs heavy with altitude and attitude. You ask for the Hangovertini —because how could you not? Gin. Green tea vermouth. A swirl of rosemary honey and crisp apple. It tastes like someone distilled the memory of your wildest night and then dared you to drink it before making the same mistakes all over again. The LED-lit counter pulses around you—colors shift every ninety seconds: violet, orange, emerald. It makes your drink look like it’s in costume. It makes everyone around you look cooler than they probably are. It makes your heartbeat line up with the light. The crowd is a cocktail of its own—stylish couples with cameras, solo travelers nursing silence, influencers chasing golden hour, and then someone like you: in it, but not quite of it. You take a sip. The breeze catches your collar. The bar staff doesn’t pitch you anything—they offer. A tequila cocktail kissed with burnt orange and smoked vanilla. Then something mezcal-forward with roasted pineapple and a chili foam that lingers like a memory you don’t want to admit you miss. These aren’t just drinks. They’re declarations. Each one crafted with the precision of a watchmaker. Each one balanced for altitude, not ego. Thai herbs and citrus oils. Global spirits with Bangkok’s pulse running through them. There’s no menu for this part of the night—just trust and glassware. The bartenders don’t serve—they compose. And they don’t ask if you like it. They already know you do. There’s no food here. No distractions. Just drink and view. You lean against the edge. The rail is glass. The city below looks like it’s dancing. Someone’s laughing too loud. Someone else just proposed. And somewhere, far beneath it all, tuk-tuks still scream and street food still sizzles. But none of that touches you here. Because this isn’t the Bangkok of chaos. This is the Bangkok that floats. That glows. That lets you breathe. You look down. You look up. You order another. And then you remember: this is where they shot the scene. The wolfpack. The aftermath. The myth of the lost night. But here’s the truth the movie didn’t tell you— Sky Bar by Lebua, State Tower doesn’t give you a hangover. It gives you clarity. It doesn’t get you drunk. It gets you honest. Because somewhere between your second drink and your third silence, you start to realize—this place wasn’t built for hype. It was built for you. The version of you that wanted to taste what it feels like to be suspended in the sky. The one that needed to stand still while the world kept spinning below. The one that didn’t come looking for a drink—but found one that said, “I know who you are.” And that’s the thing about Sky Bar. You don’t just leave with a buzz. You leave remembering how to feel small, tall, and alive—at the same damn time.

At the heart of each piece is a radiant dial, framed in symmetry, marked by applied hour markers, and grounded by a discreet date window at 6 o’clock. Flip the watch, and the transparent sapphire crystal caseback reveals the real secret, Omega’s finest miniature engine to date. When it comes to the heartbeat of the watch, Raynald Aeschlimann, Omega’s President and CEO, puts it best: “The most beautiful part of the watch is the one you cannot immediately see.” Beneath the dial lies the Calibre 8750 (for stainless steel and two-tone models) or the Calibre 8751 (for Sedna and Moonshine Gold) both newly engineered for this intimately scaled case. It’s a technical triumph, conceived not just to fit but to elevate the smaller silhouette. Each movement carries the Master Chronometer certification, the pinnacle of precision, magnetism resistance, and durability. These calibres offer self-winding performance in both directions, enhanced by the Co-Axial escapement and silicon balance spring. They hold more than 48 hours of power reserve, enough for long weekends and last-minute escapes. It’s craftsmanship so refined, so hidden, you almost forget it’s there. But isn’t that the very definition of luxury? Much like a secret, the Aqua Terra 30 mm isn’t about making statements, it’s about confidence. The bracelets are engineered for seamless integration, sculpted in brushed and polished finishes, secured with Omega’s patented screw-and-pin system, and closed with a butterfly clasp that adjusts for effortless comfort. Every element, from the dial proportions to the feel on the wrist, speaks to the idea of ease, of elegance that doesn’t try too hard, of a luxury that’s lived in, not put on. To celebrate this release, Omega enlisted six luminaries , redefining modern femininity from across music, film, and fashion, each embodying the campaign’s sensibility: personal, expressive, quietly powerful. Among who are Ashley Graham , Tems , Ariana DeBose , Marisa Abela , Danielle Marsh , and Sunday Rose Kidman Urban . Their testimonials are intimate and disarming. Tems calls her watch “a layering essential.” Graham insists “it will never come off.” Ariana DeBose says it simply: “The ultimate secret is to wear it with joy.” In a rhythmic campaign film, the watch passes hand to hand like a shared confidence, underscoring the irresistible urge to reveal beauty, eventually. Omega suggests, this isn’t just another watch. It’s a secret you wear. A symbol of quiet rebellion against the overt and overstated. The Omega Aqua Terra 30 mm doesn’t seek the spotlight, it becomes it. For the woman who finds power in her own rhythm, elegance in her own way, and joy in things not everyone can see, this is your little secret . And perhaps, it’s time to let it slip.

- A Journey Of Transformation, Empathy, And Unwavering Passion With Jitin Gulati
A Journey Of Transformation, Empathy, And Unwavering Passion With Jitin Gulati By Anushka Sharma A Journey Of Transformation, Empathy, And Unwavering Passion With Jitin Gulati 11 October 2024 COVER STORIES Advertisement We recently had the pleasure of speaking with Jitin Gulati , a dynamic actor who has been making waves with his unique roles and remarkable journey in the entertainment industry. Reflecting on his career, Jitin shares that his evolution as an actor has been as much about personal growth as it has been about his diverse roles. “In one word, if I had to sum up my journey, it would be ‘enriching.’ The characters I've portrayed have taught me not only about the craft but also about myself as a person,” he shares, offering a glimpse into his reflective approach to his work. Jitin emphasizes that, for him, the genre of a project is secondary. What truly excites him is the complexity and depth of the roles he takes on. “I am more drawn to characters that are far removed from my own life. It’s an opportunity to explore new worlds and bring these unfamiliar personas to life with empathy.” He credits the directors and creative teams he works with for making this experience even more profound. One of Jitin’s latest projects, “Tribhuvan Mishra CA Topper”, available on Netflix, touches on important societal themes. “While the show is wrapped in a comedic tone, it subtly discusses issues like gender, masculinity, and how professions that are often misunderstood or stigmatized deserve the same respect as any other.” Jitin was particularly drawn to the lack of judgment in the script and was excited to work on a role that presented such important conversations in a lighthearted setting. When asked about his most cherished projects, Jitin couldn’t pick just one. He recalls the camaraderie developed over five years while working on “Bombay Meri Jaan”,particularly as the project spanned several COVID lockdowns. Another significant milestone in his career was playing a transgender character in “Kala”, a role that opened up an entirely new world for him. “From makeup to costume fittings, it was an immersive experience—both nerve-wracking and incredibly rewarding.” Despite his passion for acting, Jitin cherishes his time off with family. As an actor constantly on the move, he values the time spent reconnecting with his roots and his family in Faridabad. “It’s my way to recharge, and it grounds me,” he reflects. As for future plans, Jitin’s focus remains clear: he aims to keep learning and growing. He’s excited about his upcoming projects, including a supernatural horror film and a period fantasy drama. He also shared an inspiring facet of his life: before pursuing acting full-time, Jitin worked for nearly nine years in banking. “It was a big leap, but I’ve always known my dream was to act. Sometimes, you just have to take that chance,” he adds. In closing, Jitin revealed his admiration for industry legends Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, both of whom he’s had the honor of working with. “People often say you shouldn’t meet your heroes, but in this case, you absolutely should. They are as remarkable in person as they are on screen.” This candid conversation with Jitin provided a deeper look into the man behind the roles—a thoughtful actor continually evolving in his craft and inspiring others with his journey.

- AiSPi Wanderlust Diaries: Marzook, L’Afshar, And A Fashion Bender In Mumbai
AiSPi Wanderlust Diaries: Marzook, L’Afshar, And A Fashion Bender In Mumbai By Shriniwas Kodape AiSPi Wanderlust Diaries: Marzook, L’Afshar, And A Fashion Bender In Mumbai 25 April 2025 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement There are days in Mumbai when the air feels heavier, as if the city’s leaning in, waiting for something to happen. This was one of those days. On the top floors of The St. Regis Mumbai, the curtains pulled back, the champagne flowed too early, and a different kind of storm rolled in — a beautiful, high-fashion cyclone called AiSPi Wanderlust Diaries . Now, if you’ve never heard of AiSPi , let me put it this way — it’s not your typical, sterile pop-up pushing overpriced clichés. No, this is the stuff of fashion folklore, the kind of operation run by people who chase labels in alleyways of Antwerp and underground ateliers in Istanbul. They traffic in stories, not trends. And this weekend, they turned Mumbai into their playground. Marzook was there — those wild, sculptural bags that feel like tiny spaceships for your secrets, glittering like fever dreams under the ballroom lights. These weren’t bags you politely slung over your shoulder. No. These are bags you build an entire damn night around. You walk into a room with a Marzook, and you don’t just arrive — you declare war on subtlety. Then came L’Afshar . Minimalist? Sure. But not in that quiet, forgettable way. Sharp-edged, modern relics that look like they were carved out of glass by someone with a hangover and a god complex. I watched people — the loud, the shy, the ones pretending not to care — run their fingers over those cool, marble-like surfaces. They didn’t just want to carry them; they wanted to be the kind of person who could. And if you drifted past the handbags and martinis, you'd stumble onto things that didn't shout — but whispered in the most intoxicating ways. The Pen Stroke , with hand-drawn journals and prints that made you want to run away to somewhere lawless and write everything down. And The Charm Shop , selling tiny, sparkling talismans — little anchors in a city that never stops spinning. But here’s what most people won’t tell you: It wasn’t about the shopping. Not really. It was about what those pieces made you feel. It was about holding something that carried the fingerprints of another world. About standing in a room full of strangers and thinking, Damn, maybe Mumbai’s finally getting the fashion scene it deserves. And adding to this electric madness, AiSPi unveiled their new Spring/Summer 2025 collections — a breathtaking lineup from 30+ global designers , each piece a portal to some sun-drenched square in Valencia, a candlelit studio in Paris, or a wild rooftop atelier in Tbilisi. These weren’t just collections; they were declarations of where fashion is going next, and Mumbai got the first, intoxicating taste. By evening, the place wasn’t just a pop-up — it was a fever dream. People weren’t browsing; they were hunting. The room smelled like perfume, leather, ambition, and a little danger. And that’s exactly how it should be. Wanderlust Diaries wasn’t a polite fashion event. It was a beautiful, decadent act of rebellion. Proof that in this fast, crowded, endlessly noisy city, there’s still room for things that are rare, strange, and alive. Here’s to more nights like this. More stories told in silk, sequins, scribbled journals, and hard-edged acrylic bags. And to AiSPi — may they keep smuggling this beautiful madness across borders, bringing the world’s finest, strangest, most beautiful things straight into the heart of Mumbai. See you at the next one. Bring your chaos. And your wallet.

- A New Year Resolution That Doesn’t Involve Fixing Yourself
SOCIETY By Shrinivas Kodape A New Year Resolution That Doesn’t Involve Fixing Yourself 19 January 2026 SOCIETY Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement I have spent most of my adult life chasing structure. Deadlines, routines, productivity systems, plans that promise clarity. Like many of us, I begin every new year telling myself that this will be the one where I become healthier, calmer, more balanced. And like many of us, I often measure that balance in steps walked, hours slept, tasks completed. What I rarely count is how often I allow myself to create, or even simply experience art without an agenda. Reading about the growing body of research linking creativity to mental and physical wellbeing forced me to pause. Not because it felt revolutionary, but because it felt uncomfortably familiar. Somewhere deep down, we already know this. We just forget to practice it. The idea that art could meaningfully shape how we feel, how we age, and how resilient we become is not new. What is new is how clearly science is now catching up with instinct. I am not writing this as someone who has figured it out. I am writing this as someone actively trying. Trying to read more without scanning. Trying to listen to music without multitasking. Trying to sit in a gallery or a performance without immediately thinking about what comes next. Trying to create without worrying whether the result is useful or productive. And I will be honest, it is harder than it sounds. I collect books. Shelves of them. Stacks waiting patiently by the bed, on the desk, in corners of the house. I love the weight of them, the promise they carry, the belief that one day I will sit still long enough to read them the way they deserve. Discipline, however, does not always arrive when intention does. Some days, the books remain untouched. And I have learned to make peace with that. One page at a time. One day at a time. We live in a world that rewards efficiency. Art does not operate on efficiency. It asks for presence. It asks for time without a guaranteed outcome. And yet, study after study now suggests that engaging with creativity does something essential to us. It steadies the nervous system. It improves mood. It strengthens memory and emotional processing. It gives the brain room to breathe. What struck me most was not the data itself, but the simplicity of it. You do not need to be an artist. You do not need training or talent. You only need to engage. Attend a concert. Read a book slowly. Draw without posting it. Write without publishing it. Dance without documenting it. These acts activate parts of the brain that daily routines rarely touch. They remind us that we are not only here to function. We are here to feel. There is also something deeply human about how art connects us to one another. Loneliness has become one of the quiet health crises of our time. Creative spaces offer connection without pressure. Sitting in a theatre, a museum, or even a small music venue places you among others without demanding performance. You share an experience. You feel something together. That matters more than we acknowledge. I have noticed this shift in myself when I make room for creativity, even imperfectly. My thoughts slow. My reactions soften. Problems that felt heavy suddenly feel manageable. It is not because art fixes anything directly, but because it changes how I hold things. It creates distance between stimulus and response. It reminds me that life is not a checklist. This does not mean abandoning discipline or responsibility. It means expanding our idea of health. We speak often about balance, but we rarely give creativity a seat at the table. We treat it as optional, as leisure, as something to indulge in only after everything else is done. The truth is, everything else is never done. Art has to be chosen deliberately. There is something grounding about returning to creativity in a world obsessed with speed. Art moves at a human pace. It unfolds. It resists shortcuts. It invites reflection. And in doing so, it strengthens mental resilience in ways that productivity culture never can. As an editor, I am constantly surrounded by creativity. As a human, I am still learning how to receive it properly. I am learning to stop treating art as something I consume quickly and start treating it as something I sit with. My books remind me of that daily. Not as a source of guilt, but as an invitation. If there is one intention worth carrying into this year, it is this. Make space for art without justification. Let it exist in your life without needing to explain its value. Trust that what nourishes the mind will eventually steady the body. Trust that creativity is not a luxury, but a necessity we have forgotten how to prioritize. I am trying to live by this too. Slowly. Imperfectly. One page, one moment, one day at a time. And perhaps that is enough to begin. SEARCH Why India is the most depressed country in the world?
