Gastronome
Palace Plated Pleasures
This festive season, the sparkle will not be limited to the chandeliers; it will be on the plate.
Jetsetting
The Jetsetter's Festive Calendar
Between the glow of Diwali lamps and the glitter of New Year’s confetti is when the world becomes a carousel of fireworks, fêtes, art fairs, and snow-dusted soirées and the true jetsetter wouldn’t dream of staying put.
Lifestyle
wrist-bound luxury
The world of haute horology continues to dazzle with creations that merge centuries-old craftsmanship with modern ingenuity. The newest masterpieces revealing skeletonised movements that show the poetry of mechanics to gem-set dials that shimmer like sculptures in motion, and complications that defy convention, chart the evolving landscape of high watchmaking. The curated selection of models featured here—from reimagined icons to bold debuts—are set to define luxury this season.
luxury in a drop
A quiet renaissance is reshaping the perfume world. Master perfumers are returning to the ancient Indian attar tradition—oil-based, alcohol-free distillations that once scented royal courts and Mughal gardens—and infusing it with modern luxury. The result is not merely fragrance, but wearable art, coveted by collectors who treat a flacon as they would a piece of sculpture.
Trends
wellness without borders
Curated detox journeys blending ancient Ayurvedic rituals and cutting-edge wellness science—from Panchakarma retreats in the Himalayas to multi-hour hikes through canyons in Malibu, indulgent cleanses promise to rejuvenate skin, reset digestion, and leave you radiating beyond the celebrations.
sari, sherwani silhouettes
Festive dressing in India has always celebrated tradition, but this year the classics are stepping out with a decidedly modern swagger. Think saris that shimmer like liquid metal, sherwanis with architectural cuts, and silhouettes so fluid they blur the lines between past and future. With your calendar already dotted with festive parties and winter weddings, here’s how to step out in the most exciting new-age saris and sherwanis that are lighting up the season.
Travel
the lawrence of arabia way
This season, trade city skylines for the raw drama of Jordan’s desert in Wadi Rum. Here, in private glass-domed suites of luxury camps, Lawrence of Arabia camel safaris, Bedouin feasts, or even a helicopter transfer to Petra, you would be in a place where the air is crisp, the light is pure, skies are at their clearest, and constellations at their brightest. With the desert glowing differently at every hour, taking your breath away, you will make memories that feel eternal.

Transformative Leadership
Transformation and leadership cannot be separated, says Sadhguru, as every action of a leader has the power to directly or indirectly transform the lives of many people. However, he explains, one who wishes to be a great leader must also constantly strive to transform himself.
