Bring The Outdoors Indoors It's summer, so bring home the flowers, plants, fallen leaves etc. Farah smiles, "Pepper your coffee tables and bedside nooks with natural decor, like a bouquet of garden roses or beach-combing treasures. For a more rustic feel, try bringing in eco-friendly materials like bamboo, hemp, and jute area rugs. These materials bring an exotic and natural feeling of the outdoors in." Running short of space, no problem, check the cute miniature gardens from Sorrel (in ECR).
Small Props, High Drama There's nothing like a mirror to open up a space, let it face the light or maybe an open window. You could even place one outside to create your niche garden nook. The easiest way to add some shades of Indian summer would be to bring some colourfully themed tableware. We love the classic chai cups from Ashvita Design Studio. Ideal conversation piece, right? This season, let's make our abode, bright and cosy.

MONEY Tips for thrifty travelling in South India
...
With cheap cabs, traveling within India can be very cost-effective. Domestic and international travellers should lose the thought that standalone restaurants in India are not hygienic so it is safer with star hotels. This is a myth. Your favourite secret getaway in and around Chennai ... Mahabalipram & Pondicherry are places I go whenever I want to have undisturbed family time. As my daughter is married in Coirnbatore, we also like to stay in Pollachi heritage houses for that unique taste of Tamil traditions.
Best buys in Chennai (souvenirs/gifts etc) I like to buy sarees for my wife and daughters for all hindu festivals in Nalli & Kurnaran. This is our family tradition. Most authentic Tamil food should be fried in... Dakshin Restaurant in Crowne plaza and Signature Vasantha Bhavan restaurant in Nungambakkam Best place to tryfusionfood Tangarine and Flying elephant. Must-tryfun experience in Chennai With my grandchildren we often go to Mahaballipuram beaches. Nowadays, a day insid' Phoenix mall i for all age groups. What does demonetisation mean to players like Yeldi? It means 2 different things. One It means we have been given a fantastic role to play in India's vision to go cashless and to be able to provide a system that accounts every transaction. And the 2nd thing is we are grateful to be able to help our nation at this momentus era as Yeldi itself was born to convert actual cash to digital without the need for a bank account or a smart phone.

To sweet beginnings On April 14, the two Southern states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala will gear up to welcome the Tamil New Year (Puthandu) and Vishu respectively. Considered to be an auspicious day, the Tamils begin their day by looking at a tray filled with three fruits - mango, banana and jack fruit, gold and silver coins and a mirror. Keralites too have a similar tradition of looking at auspicious items including coins, mirror and yellow flowers called konna. A traditional vegetarian feast will be served in both the states and the meal mostly likely will end with a cup of payasam. This famous rice pudding boasts of liberal doses of ghee and milk. Experience the sweetness of this traditional dessert and more at the festive feasts (lunch thali) from Taj Corarnandel. Date :April 14. Details: Taj Coramandel, +9144 66002827.
