Chilly weather has an inimitable way of bringing people together: we yearn for warmth, love, and connection, and the holidays deliver with big family meals, gifts of gratitude, and a purposeful slowing down of time to enjoy it all.

What It Means To Be Free

What It Means To Be Free

Freedom.

A seven-letter word that means different things to different people.

Whether we dress and act in certain ways, travel to far-flung destinations, identify as a night owl or an early bird, freedom exists in every choice we make. The liberty to lead the life we want, to speak the language we choose.

As India’s 75th year of independence dawns, we dream on through art in its varied forms that celebrates freedom in its many splendoured manifestations

An Ode to Fall

An Ode to Fall

An Ode to Fall

The leaves are turning, and there’s a nip in the air. With the arrival of fall comes the feeling of change: a gradual transition into winter and the close of another year.
