- Before I Die
Before I Die by Neha Pande Before I Die 27 July 2020 LIFESTYLE Advertisement We all as humans have thought about various things to do before we die, some of us might even have a huge bucket list of fun things to do before they die. Death is something inevitable so let’s make out the most of our days that we have and tick off all we can off our bucket list. “The meaning of life is to give life a meaning” so give your life a meaning by achieving or doing everything you ever wanted, even if it is as simple as kissing your loved one under the moonlight or as crazy as exploring the coral reefs. Travel to the Great Beyond Let’s kickstart the list with the one thing everyone desires to do at least once in their life, travel to a country you always wanted to so don’t you think twice about it and jump on the first plane available to send you off to the city of your dreams (please plan before you go anywhere). An expert tip before you travel off to the great beyond away from the comfort of your comfy home is to always plan before you go anywhere and research about the country because that why you’ll know about every nook and cranny of the city of your dreams and you will have the best experience while exploring the place, so lets get set and take off to L.A, Paris, Tokyo or New York, your choice. Learn A New Language We all have one of those times when we wish we knew another or other language(s), something to spice up our vocabulary and to woo people we meet. It’s always a plus point to add your knowledge about exotic languages or even regional languages to your resume. Maybe you might want to learn the languages of love French or Italian or something or hardcore like German and Dutch or maybe stay a bit closer to your homeland and learn something regional, all is well and all you need is to give it a go and let your knowledge expand. Donate Blood Donating blood is something we all have thought about but have always been scared to do so. At times it is good to let ourselves conquer our fears and do something good. Donating blood is most definitely something on my bucket list and maybe your too but if not then put it right on top because it’s something which is a whole new experience which will make you feel good inside and also help someone else when they are in need, no I do not mean vampires! A quick tip, research well about the blood bank or the hospital before you are going off to donate blood because there are a lot of frauds running loose. Eat Your Heart Out People are crazy about food, every couple of days we have one or another new food trend which goes viral over the internet and we all being foodies at heart want to taste it so bad. So after our marathon maybe we can grab a cheeky little bite of that Internet Famous food and eat our Hearts out because in the end food is life! So, let’s eat all the rainbow bagels, red velvet cupcakes or a good ol’ slice of pizza. Get a Pet Pets are a huge responsibility and also a lot of work but they are also your best friend and there when you feel down, a bond between an owner and his/her pet is unbreakable. One must have this experience because it’s one of the best feelings in this whole wide world, especially if your pet is from a shelter or rescued, something everyone desires is unconditional love and that’s what pets offer so it’s most definitely something people must have on their bucket lists. An important advice before you buy a pet would be to research it and make sure you have everything to make him/her feel absolutely comfortable. Be a lone wolf Go out alone and venture out in the wild, go out on a trip alone because it’s good to have that kind of experience. At times on trips with people you don’t get to do what you want so take this time to venture out alone. You might make new friends along the way, learn new things about yourself and even get to do things you thought you would never do alone. Adventure is the spice of life and at times the best experiences and adventures are with yourself. It is the best way of discovering yourself. Conquer your fears We all are scared of something and these things at times keep us up all night so before we go let’s conquer at least one of them. Conquering fear is on everyone’s bucket list but it’s too scary and at times looked over but it gives us no bigger satisfaction when we finally conquer our fears, it makes us a better version of ourselves. So, let’s start conquering these fears step by step and not be scared of those little spiders or clowns or thunder, let’s live life on our own terms. Get a Tattoo How long have you wished for that work of art on your body? People get scared or maybe conflicted when they talk about getting a tattoo because they think it’ll hurt like hell or they feel like it’s not the right time or they don’t have a specific design yet. Tattoos are like an expression of yourself on your body, they are beautiful works of art that are yours for life to cherish and one should get at least one in their entire life because they are beautiful self-representations. #Death #GetaTattoo #Conqueryourfears #Bealonewolf #GetaPet #EatYourHeartOut #Bucketlist #Deathwish #BeforeIdie #LearnANewLanguage #Travel #DonateBlood 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 Shriniwas Kodape IIT Bombay’s Mood Indigo: A Cultural Platform That Brings Youth Voices Together 17 December 2025 LIFESTYLE By Shriniwas Kodape Mood Indigo, IIT Bombay’s Iconic Celebration Of December 14 December 2025 LIFESTYLE By Shriniwas Kodape The Spa At The Urban Wellness Centre: Four Seasons Bangkok’s Sanctuary Where The Body Forgets The Noise 4 September 2025 LIFESTYLE By Anurag Sen Porsche Unveils The Next Generation 911 Cup: Precision, Power, And Purpose For 2026 24 August 2025 LIFESTYLE RELATED POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement
- Five Dream Wedding Destinations To Look Out For
by Aishwarya by Aishwarya Five Dream Wedding Destinations To Look Out For 12 February 2023 TRAVEL Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Wedding is an integral part of our lives. We all have dreamt about D-day and what it is going to look like. The pandemic has postponed and delayed so many weddings, and now is the time they are getting married. Wedding destinations play a significant role in the wedding. It should be a dream-come-true kind of place. Finding such a dream destination might be a difficult task, but here we have got you covered with these beautiful yet classy destinations. These destinations will be a beautiful addition to your precious moments of life. Tamara Kodai is a resort located in the highlands of Kodaikanal, in Tamil Nadu. This resort is the perfect blend between nature and luxury. The breathtaking view of the valleys of Kodaikanal and the ever-so-amazing climate is a perfect combination to take your vows for a lifetime. Another gem of a location is the Ramada Resort and Spa, in Rajasthan. It is known as one of the most romantic resorts and that checks the criteria for us; what’s better than a boujee resort? A romantic and boujee resort! It is adorned with serene gardens, Mewari-inspired architecture and a majestic interior, making it the perfect blend of royalty and luxury. The ITC Grand Bharat is evidence of five thousand years of continuous civilization, located amidst the historic Aravalli Range. This resort is the perfect blend of modernity, royalty, spacious and intimate. The interior is spectacular and thematic, and the best part- it is customizable too! The Deltin Daman , in Daman, is a 176-room five-star resort with a 10-acre footprint. It is a destination that can accommodate the families of the groom and bride, and still have the space to invite friends' families. This grandeur and royalty are all that you need to make the most out of your dream wedding. But yeah, start saving for its cost from now itself- some finance tip for the win. The last candidate for the wedding destinations in India has to be the Beleza resort, in Goa. It is a 19,000 sq ft lawn facing the Arabian Sea, with a multi-specialised and creative culinary team for the win. It provides a wide range of exquisite dishes inspired by goan culture, that won’t leave a reason for the relatives to gossip about the quality of food at the wedding. Now, talking about foreign wedding destinations, Santorini must be the one that tops the conversation. It is one of the most romantic places in the world. That being said, Crete- the largest island in Greece, is an underrated place. It has the beautiful pin sand beaches of Elafonissi and the Great Gorge of Samaria, in the rugged white mountains and blue house tops. Chania, the old town, is a charming cobblestone street with restaurants overlooking the lighthouse and Venetian, Turkish and other traditional buildings. Kapalua is yet another beautiful destination, in the northwest of Maui. Kapalua loosely translates to “arms embracing the sea”. This premier resort area is an underrated place. Luxury resorts like The Ritz Carlton Kapalua and Montage Kapalua Bay offer breathtaking setups for weddings. While a wedding is a sacred bond and has nothing to do with fanciness or luxury, many people dream about their wedding like this. It is your responsibility to be smart about your financial aspects and then, proceed with the grand wedding ceremonies. Finding such a dream destination might be a difficult task, but here we have got you covered with these beautiful yet classy destinations.

- 5 Places To Visit In Iceland On Your First Trip
by Yashi Srivastava by Yashi Srivastava 5 Places To Visit In Iceland On Your First Trip 20 February 2023 TRAVEL Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement When we talk about dreams, what is the first place that comes to your mind? Is it encircled with stunning landscapes, pristine lakes, divine mountain peaks, and ancient castles? If yes, then Iceland travel should be a part of your bucket list. This magnificent island is lush with inexplicable natural beauty, mind boggling travel routes, and thrilling adventures, which alone makes it worth a visit. Now that it is on your bucket list, you must know that there are an extravagant number of places to visit in Iceland. And we have saved you quite a lot of time by rounding off the top 10 Iceland tourist attractions for your first ever trip! So, let’s not waste any more time and find out the best places to visit in Iceland on your first trip. Vatnajökull Glacier: Remember the place where Elsa and her sister (from the Disney movie Frozen) lived? Well, if you do then this is one place that will leave you awestruck. Vatnajökull Glacier is a world made of ice. It is best known for its mystical caves that are constantly shifting their existence from one place to another. Thus, it is advisable for the first-time visitors to hire a guide before entering this winter wonderland. This maze-like formation is Europe’s largest glacier and also covers more than 8% of the entire area of the entire country. Soak yourself in the adventurous vibe of this place and do not forget to click pictures! Best time to visit: November to March (during this time, the ice caves are stable and that makes your tour better) Reykjavik : One of the most popular Iceland tourist places, Reykjavik takes the credit for its whale watching tours. Remember Keiko from Free Willy? Well, the killer whale was captured in a camera in a marine site close to Reykjavik. There is a 90% chance that you will get to spot the giant creature during a single tour in the middle of the ocean. The ride to whale watching usually starts from Reykjavik’s Old Harbour and lasts for about an hour or so. Once you see the magnificent creatures, do not forget to capture them in your cameras. Pssst… Here's a tip for you, go for the ringside seat to witness the amazing phenomenon. This place is also flushed with quaint cafes, vibrant bars, and stunning restaurants. Once you return from the tour, make sure to stop by at some of them and enjoy local food. You can also witness the splendid Northern Lights from this place. Best time to visit: June to September. However, you can go whale watching at any time of the year. Blue Lagoon Hot Spring : There are numerous hot springs across Iceland but none of them are as spectacular as the Blue Lagoon. Settled amid the fairy tale setting of silica mud and jet-black volcanic desert rocks, Blue Lagoon is a must-visit place for first time visitors. Being the most popular spa of Iceland, Blue Lagoon encompasses warm and healing water full of minerals of the ocean, silica mud, steam stacks, and soothing vibes. People can book their own premium packages at the time of visit to the spa. There are various five-star hotels standing in the vicinity that also provide special spa packages at the Lagoon. Most common among these is the Retreat Hotel Spa, which provides a complete luxury experience to people—private pool, cold well, steam room, personalized morning yoga class, water therapies and messages, etc. Best time to visit: All year round. Grundarfjordur: The fishing village of Grundarfjordur will make you fall in love at the first sight! The serene houses, summer folk festivals, and the striking view of Mt. Kirkjufell standing amid the awe-inspiring waterfalls and meandering streams are enough reasons for you to stop by at this little hamlet. Another reason to visit Grundarfjordur is the Eyrbyggja Heritage Centre, which regularly exhibits the oceanic history of the town in a beautiful way. Grundarfjordur is located at a distance of 3 hours from Reykjavik and outlines the north coast of Snaefellsnes peninsula . The peninsula has been nicknamed as ‘Iceland in miniature’ and is home to the glorious Snæfellsjökull glacier. This twin-peaked glacier is resplendently surrounded by lava fields and three coastlines as it sits on the peninsular tip of a volcano. Thus, this adds as another reason for visiting the beautiful village. Best time to visit: All year round. Lake Myvatn : Located close to Akureyri, the capital of North Iceland, Lake Myvatn is known for its mystical formation that comprises a treasure of gems and flora of moss balls. Nature lovers find themselves at ease near and around this lake. One can also spot both indigenous and exotic species of birds during summer season as they form various formations in a single flight above the lake area. Another thing that makes this lake quite exclusive is its incredible geology. When looked from a distance, one will notice that the lake is outlined by pseudo volcanic craters that make the water body look quite mysterious. If you are a fan of Game of Thrones, then you must know that one of the most famous love scenes in the series was shot in this area. Grjótagjá hot spring is another major attraction found near this lake. It is carefully hidden in a cave in the lava field of Dimmuborgir. The field is so intense and sensational that it has come to be known as the Black Fortress. There are many other places to visit in this area. You will require a whole day to cover them all. Best time to visit: May to October Now that you know the best places to visit in Iceland to make your first trip memorable and one-of-a-kind, it’s about time that you booked your tickets to have an adventure of a lifetime! Iceland is filled with some spectacular scenic routes, breathtaking lagoons, and mesmerizing flora and fauna that must be witnessed once in your life. Blob - .

- Viddhi Giri: Bold, Unapologetic & Living Her Dream
Viddhi Giri: Bold, Unapologetic & Living Her Dream By Sakshi Batra Viddhi Giri: Bold, Unapologetic & Living Her Dream 20 March 2025 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Destined For Glamour! Fashion and entertainment have always been more than just an interest of Viddhi Giri , they are part of her very being. Growing up in a family deeply rooted in the industry, she was naturally drawn to the world of art in all its forms, from dance and design to creative expression. Her journey led her to NIFT , where she pursued textile design, but she soon realized she was never meant to stay behind the scenes. The spotlight called her, and she answered, stepping into the world of pageants and content creation. Now, as she builds her brand and collaborates with top fashion names, she sees her path not just as a series of opportunities but as fate unfolding in the most stylish way possible. The Toughest Battles Make The Best Queens! Every powerful woman has faced challenges that shaped her into the force she is today, and for Viddhi, it was the decision to walk away from someone she deeply loved. It felt like losing a part of herself, but love without respect is never enough. After holding on for too long, hoping things would change, she finally chose herself. The moment she let go, life opened its doors - offering success, self-love, and a newfound confidence. Sometimes, heartbreak isn’t an ending; “Sometimes you have to forget what you feel and remember what you deserve” , says Viddhi. The Moment That Changed Everything! Life often feels like a whirlwind of experiences, but for Viddhi, Miss Diva was the moment that redefined everything . “More than just a beauty pageant, it was a test of discipline, confidence, and the ability to push beyond limits” . Standing on that stage, she felt a powerful realization: she was meant to shine, not just for herself, but to inspire others. What’s Next? Moving from Chandigarh to Mumbai has been a thrilling leap toward new opportunities. Unlike many who follow the expected route into acting, Viddhi has carved her own path, one where impact matters more than convention. “Her goal is to inspire young women to prioritize their well-being, embrace confidence, and redefine beauty on their terms”. With upcoming projects reflecting this philosophy, she is determined to make waves in the industry where wellness and self-love take centre stage. Surprise, Surprise! Despite her glamorous persona, Viddhi is deeply spiritual , believing in divine timing, rituals, and faith. Beneath the dazzling exterior is someone who finds peace in solitude, relishing moments spent dancing alone to house music or simply enjoying her own company. There’s a quieter, introspective side that remains unseen by many. Living Loud, Loving Hard, And Leaving A Legacy! A life well-lived isn’t measured by achievements alone but by the joy in everyday moments. Viddhi doesn’t wait for vacations to feel alive; for her, every day is a celebration of soulful food, intense workouts, new connections, and unapologetic self-expression. Whether it's embracing love fearlessly, dressing as she pleases, or simply enjoying a fine glass of wine balanced with a morning workout, she is a testament to living fully. The Truth About Wellness - No Trends, Just Life! Wellness isn’t about strict rules; it’s a mindset. For Viddhi, eating home-cooked meals isn’t dieting, and workouts aren’t a burden; they’re acts of self-care. She believes self-care isn’t about discipline but about self-respect. To her, the body is a temple, and when self-love is genuine, caring for it becomes effortless rather than an obligation. Rule Breaker, Risk Taker! Viddhi has never been one to conform to rules; instead, she has challenged authority at every stage of her life. Rather than blindly following traditions, she believes in questioning norms and forging her own path. With time, she has come to understand that true power lies in directing her energy wisely. And if rebellion was ever part of the journey, she carries no regrets. Beyond The Glam - Finding Happiness In Simplicity Despite being in the world of high fashion and entertainment, Viddhi’s happy place is rooted in the simplest pleasures. A plate of saag and makki di roti, a chilled glass of lassi, and a peaceful day away from the chaos is all it takes . Embroidery is another unexpected love, she enjoys stitching designs on old clothes and bedsheets, a quiet, creative escape in her fast-paced life. Viddhi’s Unfiltered Life Advice For Girls Living alone at least once in life is a game-changer. If a man can’t be changed, it’s time to change the man. The higher the heels, the closer to confidence. Perfection is a myth; stop chasing it. No one is above or below you; stay grounded. One Beauty Rule To Live By! Beauty isn’t just skin deep, it’s a mindset. Viddhi never speaks negatively about her looks, not even as a joke. When complimented, she takes it with a bright smile and owns it. Confidence, after all, is the ultimate beauty hack. If Not This, Then What? If there was ever a parallel career path, Viddhi sees herself as a sports presenter or anchor. Even though she doesn’t follow sports closely, the sheer thrill of it excites her. Who knows? The future is full of endless possibilities! Viddhi Giri is a powerhouse of passion, resilience, and unapologetic confidence—and this is just the beginning!

- Novotel Living Bangkok: A Home Between Journeys
By Shriniwas Kodape By Shriniwas Kodape Novotel Living Bangkok: A Home Between Journeys 26 July 2025 TRAVEL Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement The late afternoon sun wrapped itself around Sukhumvit, painting the street in elongated shadows and soft amber light. I stopped in front of Novotel Living Bangkok Sukhumvit Legacy —the glass doors glowed with quiet invitation, the kind of welcome that doesn’t need to announce itself. No velvet ropes or flashing signs, just a sense that this was a place made for living, not just staying. Inside, voices softened. The lobby offered air that felt clean and human. I checked in without fuss, handed a room key with a smile—no scripted fanfare, just warm acknowledgment. The scent of lemongrass lingered faintly, pressed into cushions and polished counters, as if someone had whispered, we’re glad you’re here. The room was spacious, well lit, and honest—woods warmed the corners, linen curtains filtered sunlight across the floor, and a corner kitchenette beckoned with promise. Here was room to unpack more than just a suitcase. The bed stood unassuming but confident, and I sank into it like a traveler who’s forgotten how to rest. Morning arrived gently. The breakfast area hummed with quiet conversation and steaming plates. Real eggs, smoky bacon, stir-fried greens, juicy fruit—everything felt as if it had been made just for this world before 8 a.m. The coffee came strong and unpretentious, delivered with a nod and a warmth that felt intentional. By midday, the pool area called. Not with Instagram appeal, but with simple pleasure—shallow water for kids laughing, sunlit tiles for lounging adults, and a breeze that cut through heat like fresh linen. A child’s shriek of joy echoed, a father leaned back with eyes closed, and for a moment, the city felt paused. In the early evening, I let the quiet follow me. The hotel doesn’t spin stories of glamour—they have no rooftop bar or cocktail hours—but what it offers is rest. A place to fold your itinerary into something gentler. When hunger came, I found friendly, modest dining downstairs—or stepped out to the street: market lights, street food, and BTS trains humming beyond the curtains. Evening settled in soft tones: the lobby lit in lamplight, the curtains drawn shut but breathing, the city’s hum nearby but distant. Sometimes I sat by the window, not watching anything in particular—just letting the hum of Bangkok absorb into me. What stays with you after a night here isn’t polished service, but meaningful gestures: the staff who learn your name, the quiet layout of the room, the feeling that this could be—just might be—a longer chapter, not just a stopover. That’s the subtle comfort of Novotel Living. When the morning of departure came, I didn’t check out. I paused at the door, took one last look, and said not farewell—but goodbye. And as I walked away, the city woke fully around me, but something about this place had shifted inside. That’s the gift Novotel Living gives: not escape from the journey, but a soft space to carry it forward.

- Eco-friendly clothing is the need of the hour
Eco-friendly clothing is the need of the hour by Meenal Chand Eco-friendly clothing is the need of the hour 1 December 2020 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement With the adverse chaotic outburst of the nature we are witnessing and the trendy ‘local for vocal’, there’s no harm or I must say there’s more smartness in switching to sustainability. One thing that is much needed and should be updated is the fashion and clothing and if it’s in the good side without putting burden on the environment we live in what could be better than that? Advocating sustainable fashion, I must say clothing made from cotton ,jute etc would not only be eco friendly but it could give a big boost to the economy as well if one finds a way to make it more reasonable and classy. Infact, bigger brands have already started working on that and it’s more of a movement and process fostering change to fashion products and the fashion system towards greater ecological integrity and social justice. Sustainable fashion concerns more than just addressing fashion textiles or products. It comprises addressing the whole system of fashion. In pursuit of making considerable great amendments in the field and to seek divergence from same old fibres ,this could be a real helpful way! #ecofriendlyclothing #Fashion #sustainablefashion SEARCH Why does Fashion Need Fashion Shows FASHION From Dreams To Crowns: Anuradha Garg’s Inspiring Mrs. India Story FASHION Colour Psychology in Fashion: Explained FASHION Legendary Female Icons Who Made Fashion Statements In The 20th Century FASHION The House of Chanel: History FASHION POPULAR POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement By Shriniwas Kodape The Snake That Wore Red: Inside The Vision Cultured™ Revolution 19 October 2025 FASHION By Sakshi Shah Francesca Bellettini Ushers In Gucci’s New Dawn 19 September 2025 FASHION By Shriniwas Kodape Dibba Studio: Weaving The Future Of Fashion At Thailand Fashion Week AW25-26 2 September 2025 FASHION By Shriniwas Kodape Aksstagga: Threads That Whisper Love, Memory, And Eternity 21 August 2025 FASHION RELATED POSTS Advertisement
- Four Seasons Bangkok: Where The River Holds Its Breath
By Shriniwas Kodape By Shriniwas Kodape Four Seasons Bangkok: Where The River Holds Its Breath 17 September 2025 TRAVEL Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement I’ve stayed in enough hotels to recognise when a place has nothing to prove. Four Seasons Bangkok is one of them. From the moment you step off the riverfront promenade into its courtyard, there’s a quiet assurance in the way it carries itself. No need for dramatic declarations or ornamental excess, just an effortless elegance that flows through every inch of the property. The Chao Phraya rolls by at its own unhurried pace, and the Four Seasons seems to take its cue from the water. There’s space here, not just in the architecture, but in the way it lets you breathe. The lobby is an embrace of warm light, polished stone, and subtle floral arrangements that feel placed for your eyes only. Every sightline is deliberate, every surface carrying the kind of texture that makes you want to run your hand across it. Rooms here aren’t just designed; they’re staged for living. Floor-to-ceiling windows pull the river inside, letting the daylight change the mood hour by hour. The materials are rich without being loud: soft fabrics, clean lines, and a colour palette that calms more than it commands. The bed seems built for slow mornings, and the kind of sleep that feels like a reset button. The dining, though, is where Four Seasons Bangkok truly leans into its personality. Food here is never an afterthought. Each restaurant has its own voice, its own rhythm, yet they all share an attention to craft that cannot be faked. Yu Ting Yuan, the hotel’s signature Michelin-recognized Cantonese restaurant, is a performance in precision with flavours layered with intention, each plate a study in restraint and detail. Riva del Fiume Ristorante brings an Italian sensibility to the riverfront, sunlit and relaxed, while Palmier by Guillaume Galliot offers French coastal charm with a contemporary edge. Even breakfast carries that quiet indulgence, turning the first meal of the day into an occasion worth lingering over. Service moves like good jazz, fluid, responsive, never out of tune. Staff seem to appear exactly when you need them, and vanish just as seamlessly. It is this rhythm that makes the stay feel less like being managed and more like being understood. And then there is the pool: long, linear, set against the river with just enough separation to make you feel part of the city without being swallowed by it. By day, it is a place to drift; by night, it becomes a reflective strip of light, mirroring the Bangkok skyline. Four Seasons Bangkok doesn’t chase your attention. It earns it. Not with noise or spectacle, but with an unwavering sense of place, a property that knows exactly what it is and delivers on it without hesitation. Here, the river holds its breath, and so do you, if only for a moment, before stepping back into the pulse of the city.

- The Land Rover Defender Octa: A Beast With A Posh Postcode
The Land Rover Defender Octa: A Beast With A Posh Postcode By Shriniwas Kodape The Land Rover Defender Octa: A Beast With A Posh Postcode 3 June 2025 LIFESTYLE Advertisement Picture a world where tanks decide they’ve had enough of war, swap their cannons for a 13.1-inch touchscreen, and sign up for rally school. That’s the Land Rover Defender Octa —a machine so ferociously capable it makes other SUVs look like they’re auditioning for a Prius convention. With a 626bhp V8 heart ripped straight from a BMW M car, this thing storms to 100km/h in four seconds flat, which is frankly absurd for something that looks like it could bench-press a small village. Land Rover claims it’s their most powerful Defender ever, a rugged aristocrat that laughs in the face of mud, mountains, and lesser 4x4s. But is it a genuine off-road titan, or just a Range Rover with an identity crisis? Dive into the Defender’s world to see what this beast is made of. The Octa’s design is a masterclass in blending grit with glamour, its boxy frame looming like a bouncer outside a Monte Carlo casino. Alpine light windows and a side-hinged tailgate nod to the Defender’s heritage , while sleek lines ensure it looks right at home in a Delhi penthouse garage or a Mayfair valet queue. Inside, exposed beams scream rugged, but the configurable centre console—tucking away your sunglasses or samosas like a magician’s trick—is pure sophistication. The optional front jump seat fits three, perfect for mates tagging along to a Sahara rally or an Alpine chalet. The Pivi Pro system’s 13.1-inch touchscreen serves up navigation and off-road data with the clarity of a five-star concierge. Add in premium leather that smells like money and storage for your adventure gear—think hiking boots or a cricket bat—and this cabin is ready for anything. Whether parked in Tokyo’s Ginza or Cape Town’s waterfront, the Octa’s style screams confidence, a rolling icon that demands attention wherever it roams. That 626bhp twin-turbo V8 roars like a lion that’s raided a coffee plantation, paired with an eight-speed gearbox smoother than a politician’s promise. The Active Locking Rear Differential and Yaw Controller make it carve corners like a Himalayan yak attempting a tango, defying its two-tonne bulk. It blitzes from 0-100km/h in four seconds, leaving supercars choking on dust from Autobahns to Himalayan trails. This isn’t just an SUV—it’s a rocket ship disguised as a 4x4, ready to outpace Porsches on coastal highways or claw up rocky ridges.Sprint through city streets like a Mumbai monsoon chase, or wrestle desert dunes like a Bedouin on a mission. It’s not cheap, but when you’re behind the wheel of a beast that makes lesser vehicles quiver, every penny feels like a ticket to glory. Explore its power in detail and you’ll see why it’s built for those who demand the extraordinary. The Octa doesn’t drive—it conquers, with 291mm ground clearance and angles (38, 28, 40 degrees) that laugh at cliffs. It wades through 900mm of water, from Amazon rivers to monsoon floods, with Terrain Response 2 tweaking settings for sand, snow, or mud like a seasoned explorer. ClearSight Ground View turns boulders into blips on the touchscreen, letting you navigate Arctic tundra or Rajasthan’s dunes like a pro. Yet, on tarmac, its suspension glides smoother than a private jet, making drives from Delhi to Jaipur or London to Edinburgh feel like a first-class lounge. Picture storming a Moroccan ridge at dawn, then rolling into a Dubai marina by dusk, passengers lounging in a cabin fit for a rock star’s entourage. The air suspension adjusts on the fly, soaking up potholes or lifting for rugged trails, while the 360-degree cameras make tight city parking a breeze. This adventure is redefined—check out its off-road prowess to see how it tames the wild with ease.For L’Utopia’s readers—Delhi’s urban elite or global tastemakers—the Defender Octa is a middle finger to the ordinary. It’s a status symbol that tackles mountains and dazzles at galas, as at home in Ladakh’s wilds as it is stealing the show in Paris. It laughs at potholes, shrugs off storms, and redefines what an SUV can be. From Sahara sands to Scottish moors, the Octa isn’t just a vehicle—it’s a lifestyle, a beast that makes the world your playground, and every journey a triumph. Whether you’re chasing horizons in the Outback or turning heads in Milan, this machine delivers a thrill that’s as raw as it is refined, a testament to Land Rover’s knack for building legends that rule both wilderness and city with swagger.

- Gunja's Inspiring Transition From The Cubicles Into The Realm Of Beauty
Gunja's Inspiring Transition From The Cubicles Into The Realm Of Beauty by Akshra Khandelwal Gunja's Inspiring Transition From The Cubicles Into The Realm Of Beauty 31 August 2023 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement One name stands out in digital artistry and creative expression like a radiant star - Gunja. With a charismatic smile that echoes her vibrant energy, Gunja has captured the hearts of many with her awe-inspiring content and impeccable talent. As we sat down for an exclusive interview with the influencer, the candid conversation revealed the essence of her journey, her inspirations, and the secrets behind her undeniable success. "I'm great. Been working on a bunch of exciting campaigns currently and feeling super grateful," Gunja exclaims with an infectious enthusiasm that mirrors her online persona. The gleam in her eyes tells a story of dedication and devotion to her craft. Gunja's day unfolds like a perfectly scripted routine, a glimpse into the life of Gunja - her real name. "So I start my day with affirmations, gratitude & exercises, followed by breakfast. I then follow up on emails & head to my studio for shoots. By evening I come back & then have dinner, edit a few videos & then sleep," she narrates, revealing a well-structured rhythm that fuels her creativity. Her journey as an influencer has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride, packed with twists, turns, and leaps of faith. "My journey has definitely been a rollercoaster. I started my page in November 2019 after quitting my high-paying job as I wanted to pursue my passion, beauty. Initially, I was creating videos for fun until it started picking up & eventually, my hard work paid off, leading to me grabbing multiple brand collaborations & now I'm here fulfilling my dreams one by one," Gunja shares, her eyes sparkling with the memories of her transformation. Among the gems in her crown of content creation are the mesmerising recreations that have captivated her audience's hearts. "As a teenager, I was always fascinated with the makeup of Bollywood celebrities. I always wanted to look like my favourite actress. Then when I started experimenting with makeup, it boosted my confidence to recreate some celebrity-inspired makeup looks, and the kind of love my audience shows for it is impeccable," she explains, revealing the genesis of her creative series that marries art with admiration. Gunja's playlist holds a melody that resonates deep within her soul. "Who Says" by Selena Gomez is a song she always finds herself returning to. "The lyrics uplift my mood. The song is all about self-confidence & how you shouldn't let anyone else define your worth and know who you actually are," she articulates, her voice carrying the weight of the song's empowering message. The delicate art of balance is a skill that Gunja has perfected. "It's simple. By not rushing & stressing over. Also, by setting blocks of time for each task & practising mindfulness," she states, a glimpse into the poise that underlies her creative chaos. For aspiring creators who seek to follow in her footsteps, Gunja has a golden nugget of advice. "Be patient, consistent & moreover, believe in yourself and don't give up," she imparts, words that echo like a mantra for those treading the path of dreams. But Gunja's message to the world transcends the digital canvas and touches the heart of the human experience. "Pay attention to your thoughts, think outside the box, find peace within yourself & have a generous heart," she concludes, her words a testament to the profound wisdom she has gained on her journey. As our conversation draws to a close, it's evident that Gunja is more than an influencer; she is a beacon of inspiration, a symbol of resilience, and a testament to the power of pursuing one's passions. Peppered with challenges and triumphs, her journey is a testament that every creation is a canvas for the soul's expression. In the world of pixels and algorithms, Gunja shines as a reminder that behind every profile is a tapestry of dreams waiting to be woven into reality.

- How Fashion Haul Is Damaging Our Environment: Explained
How Fashion Haul Is Damaging Our Environment: Explained by Aishwarya How Fashion Haul Is Damaging Our Environment: Explained 3 November 2022 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement If you are active on social media, you would know what fashion haul is. At least once, these fashion haul videos must have popped on your feed. These videos can also be there in your ‘for you’ feed. Well, you might think, what’s the big deal if these videos are there? So let us tell you that, these videos are destroying our environment. Not in a real sense, but hypothetically speaking, these hauls lead to excessive buying of clothes and that leads to the destruction of our environment. A haul is a video that is promotional and, most fashion influencers do it. The company sends them a large number of clothes to try on and review. In return, the influencers get a hefty compensation in money or its kind. Now, the problem with such a promotion is that it provokes the audience to buy stuff that isn’t even needed by them. These hauls are heavily focused on fast fashion , which on its own is damaging to our nature. Though the hauls are bad for nature, people seem to like those content. The concept to understand here is that hauls are not only bad for our nature but are also for our budget. TikTok is a video content platform and, there are more than 1 billion views on the #clothinghaul hashtag and almost 13 billion views on the #haul hashtag. These numbers show us the reach, these videos have amongst the audience. The famous Shein is one of the most popular companies, in the haul trend. Shein hauls are popular for sure, but they are also driven by a marketing strategy. Shein has an affiliate program for influencers , that pays them a 10-20% commission for the haul post. Now, let’s talk about the damage, that these fast fashion hauls do to our environment. According to a study , the fast fashion industry creates almost 92 million tons of waste and, consumes around 79 trillion litres of water each year. As an industry, the fast fashion industry is responsible for 1/3rd of all microplastics found in the ocean and, produces almost 20% of global water waste. These numbers will concern you, but the fact is that most of fast fashion’s waste comes from post-production. Textile waste, the waste from unused textiles and old cloths, ends up in landfills. Around 85% of all textiles wind up in landfills every year- equivalent to one garbage truck filled with clothes being dumped in landfills every second. If this doesn’t concern you- which shouldn't be the case, there’s more than this. The fashion industry is the second largest polluter in the world, after the oil industry. Well, if you are thinking that, then why is it always the fashion industry that is being targeted? Then the reason is that fashion is a want and not a need. An excessive amount of clothing is harming the environment and also your bank account (read: month-end balance). The wastewater that this fast fashion industry produces, has toxic substances in it like lead, mercury, and arsenic. These substances are extremely harmful to aquatic life- where these substances are released, and also to millions of people who live by the river banks. A huge quantity of freshwater is used for dyeing and other processes, which leads to a shortage even more. To this, cotton needs a lot of water to grow, up to 20,000 litres of water is needed to produce 1kg of cotton. Another contributor to pollution is chemicals. They are used in every process, right from dyeing to result. The fashion industry also accounts for 10% of global carbon emission. It is also seen that the fashion industry has a major part in the degradation of soil. Apart from these environmental issues, there also exist some societal issues. The workers in the fashion industry are compensated very less and, and they work for a crazy amount of time. This is to keep up with the trends and deliver the clothes within the shortest period possible. This makes them a slave to the time, and they often end up getting burned out mentally and physically. The fast fashion and haul culture also give rise to the flex culture. Youngsters are on a quest to always have the trendiest clothes and also an excessive amount of clothing to wear. When there is a will, there is a way. So, the solution to this problem/disaster lies in acknowledging the harm that it is creating and, showing some willingness to change. Change isn’t difficult in today’s world, where nearly everything and anything has a cool alternative available. We just need to be mindful and choose sustainable options rather than a convenient option. A haul is a video that is promotional and, most fashion influencers do it. The company sends them a large number of clothes to try on and review. In return, the influencers get a hefty compensation in money or its kind.
