Mumbai wine lovers,
Grover Zampa has launched five new wines.

Signet Spectrum: This dry red wine is fermented and aged for 12 months in concrete egg-shaped tanks. The aroma is concentrated, and dense in fruity fragrance with nascent figs and bergamot. A powerful mouthfeel that comes alive with liquorice and almond notes which, on aging, evolves into a delectable note of dusted leather and venison.
Signet Shiraz (Amphora): Fermented and aged for 12 months in terracotta clay Amphora, this red wine runs a deep garnet red. The porous structure of terracotta clay allows micro-oxygenation which helps to soften the tannins, giving the wine a deep and rich structure, without additional flavours.

Signet Shiraz (2L Foudre): A well-balanced wine with soft tannins and a medium body, slightly oaky finish with a sublime ending palate. Fermented for 12 months in 2000 litres French oak foudre, this wine emits the strong varietal characteristics of a Shiraz - black berry, black cherry, pepper, and to***co.

Signet Shiraz (1L Foudre): It has hints of French oak notes of cinnamon and vanilla. It leaves hints of fruit and beautiful resinous pepper on the finish. Fermented for 12 months in 1000-litre French oak foudre.

Signet Shiraz (24 months French Barriques):Matured in 225 litres French oak barrels for 24 months and 12 months in a bottle, this dry red delivers rich aromas of red berry, prune, vanilla, to***co, and hints of violet that mingle elegantly giving a leathery character and a deep level of complexity.

We had a rather trying Diwali. The crackers unsettled Khal and they kept going until 1 am.

Who cares about old, sick people, anyway? Not even Navi Mumbai police.

Anywho, we did have some moments of relief and we tried to make the most of it.

23/10/2022

It's the dawn of a festive day, so the sky also made a little rangoli.
Happy Diwali, people.

Was going through my Navratri selfies and suddenly realised how awesome my skin looks.

I recently discovered and have fallen in love with their face serum. This is no paid endorsement, just an honest review. My skin has brightened and softened in just three uses.

Looking forward to exploring more of their products. Thank you for introducing me to the brand.

05/10/2022

Happy Dussehra from ours to you and yours. And, happy new beginnings to my brother. His travel agency finds a perfect office.

I kept my eye infection and Khal's fever aside to be with these girls and rock some garba numbers.

Their enthusiasm, innocence and laughter is contagious. They helped me forget all my worries. I am recharged.

Can't thank .kirtania enough for the awesome, dancing Navratri it has been this far - teaching, grooving and judging.

30/09/2022

From competing in dandia and garba competitions to assisting a judge, I am sure getting old, and, hopefully, wiser. Not complaining

Thank you .kirtania for thinking of me as a worthy assistant.

29/09/2022

If not a journalist, I would have been a teacher, full time. I absolutely love my short dance teaching stints.

And moments such as these are what I live for. Look at the smiles on their innocent faces!

Thank you .kirtania for the opportunity.

I like to indulge in some craft sessions everywhere I go.

Here, the super talented, 61-year-old Finnish artist shows us how to make some trinkets from wood and reindeer antliers.

Thank you for being as enthu as I was.

In sub-zero degree, in the midst of a misty lake in a boat, wearing four layers of woolens, we caught the once-in-a-lifetime (hoping for more, of course) Auroras/Celestial Lights/Fire of the Foxes or the Northern Lights. They say the Universe really has to conspire, and three days before your visit, for you to see these surreal things.
1. The activities on the sun
2. Clear sky
3. The right time of the night
4. Your timing of the trip and
5. And the weather

Yet, you know what was better? The crescent moon (scroll right), our own Chanda mama. For the very first time in my life, it was at the eye level. Touching it seemed a real possibility.

It was not that distant, white dot in the sky that the hearts in love pine for. I wonder what would the lyrics of all our Bollywood 'Chand' songs - Chandare kabhi to zamin pe aa or the classic Chanda mama door the be if the lyricists saw them the way I did last night?

Went foraging in Helsinki's Central Park today. It's more like a forest.

Picked up and ate berries, leaves, plums, apples, was stung by nettle leaves (but no complaints as I refused the gloves) and had a wonderful time learning about the wild foods in Finland from

Foraging is a Finnish tradition. Anna's mom and grandmother would both forage in summer, made jams and pickles and savoured it in the winters

Anna left her decade-long job to follow her ancestors' footsteps. Also, foraging ingredients and selling them is a tax-free business in India and everyone is allowed to forage.

Selfie with Helsinki.

At the monumental church in the city square. Even on a Sunday, this place has hardly any people as compared to Mumbai. Ahh! What luxury.

Some stories are a tad more special than others. They totally consume you. You write several drafts of them and survive biting cold, altitude sickness, fleeting headaches and nausea to make them happen, and beg people to help you with it.

My story chasing the journey of the soft gold of Ladakh, the finest Pashmina in the world, was one such, and totally worth it. And it wouldn't have happened if .ladakh .couture , the Changpas and everyone else whom I met in Ladakh wouldn't have had the patience to deal with my madness. Thank you so much. It takes a village.

And, thank you , and team for giving this story a generous spread in your esteemed publication. I am truly grateful.

A sincere appeal from Khal Dogo - "I love Bappa, but am too scared of dhols and loud music. Can you humans please go easy on the noise? I hear it's not great for you'll as well."

For almost two to three hours yesterday, Khal kept going around in circles in the house. Scared, paranoid and refusing to eat. I am already dreading day 5 and 10 of this festival. ):

A performer's dream.

The amphitheatre at Katara, the art and culture village in Doha. It seats 5,000 people, and holds all kinds of performances. That too is free for the audiences.
kirtania, one day we will be here.

Lachic quit her lucrative job to work with her community in Leh. She built a gorgeous, sustainable hotel and restaurant, dipped in Ladakhi crafts, architecture, textile and culture, giving work to so many skilled Ladakhis.
ladakh is a splendid property, and it was my absolute pleasure to stay here and interview Lachic for this article in The Sunday Magazine of New Indian Express.

What is young India's idea of a nation and patriotism? Do they want a flag in every home or coexistence with nature, secularism or a majoritarian state.

I talk to talented youngsters from across segments to get to the bottom of it for

In what feels like after a long, long time, I write about the excitement of being in an art space, in architect and lighting designer Arjun Rathi's, one-of-a-kind hand blown glass studio. Fun times!

How awesome are these!
Set with emerald and diamond lenses, these spectacles were commissioned by an unknown Mughal prince. Originally conceived from gemstones that would have weighed over 300 and 200 carats respectively.

The origin of the emeralds can be traced all the way to the Muzo mines of Colombia, whereas the diamond lenses most probably came from the famous Golconda mines of Southern India.

These represent not only a technical feat in their cleavage but also extraordinary boldness and invention, one which is also rooted in tradition. These two extraordinary pairs of spectacles, have never before appeared on the market but have been the focus of a multitude of scholarly research. The following catalogue note will draw on information gleaned from detailed scientific and historical analyses to understand their conception and production.

Actress Chitrangda Singh gives us major festive wear goals in fashion designer Anushree Reddy's gorgeous collection Nazaakat.

Inspired by the alluring Lucknow city, Nazaakat is a story told through the classic-contemporary woman’s lens. With its inspiration derived from the magnetism of the renowned North Indian craft, this range is a link between yesterday and today, coming to life after months of experimentation, careful handiwork, and timeless design.

The collection marries the art of Chikankari and Mukaish work- lending it a distinctive appeal and unparalleled intricacies. The colour palette embodies delicate pastels and muted tones, bringing out these elaborate details with an infinite charm.
