Summer scorchers
The big boys of fashion came up with their verdicts for the spring and summer of 2013 way back in October; just when we were gearing up for winters and weddings. Whether the orange was the new black or the black is back, is a hazy memory now. Maybe someone can recollect that Marc Jacobs was seeing all squares for the coming season and for Louis Vuitton range. Straight from the ramp, big, bold, black and white checks are the big news this season. Bringing you brand new updates for a fresh summer wardrobe, from people whose opinions matter.

The power of two
Even though they received business acumen in legacy from their father, running the giant MBD group was by no means an easy task, but sisters, Monica and Sonica Malhotra, have held their own and succeeded. Their latest venture is in the hospitality industry with Radisson Blu after having already been successful with one such venture in
Noida. Such is their expertise that in less than two years the hotel received ‘Asia’s Best Performing Franchised Hotel of the year for 2011’!
An MBA in finance and a PLD (Programme in Leadership Development) from the Harvard Business School, Sonica encourages an open-minded work culture devoid of traditional hierarchies.

Hair to dye for!
Once the growing age is reflected in grey hair, the importance of hair dyes and colours becomes paramount. Hair dyeing and colouring, an ancient art, involves treatment of the hair with various chemical compounds. In ancient times, the dyes were obtained from plants. Some of the most well known dyes are henna, indigo, cassia obovata, senna and amla.

Far from the madding crowd
Mumbai, the city that doesn’t stop buzzing and is on the move constantly! Rushed life, deadlines, meetings, household chores! Where is the time to stand and stare?
Something that always intrigues me that whenever I go to Punjab, I see, however busy anyone is, jobs or business, they all have some leisure time for themselves. Waqt hota hai, theherne ka!
