WHATS NEW

Hyderabadi Menu at SBOW Hyderabad

Traditional Irani Chai pairs best with Bun Butter and freshly baked Hyderabadi biscuits like the famous sweet and salty Osmania biscuits that can lead to serpentine queues at some of their famous selling joints. There are others like Chand, Shatranj and Badam biscuits and Dilpasand puffs. No visit to a Hyderabadi Irani Café is complete without the delicious mutton mince filled Varqi Lukhmis, which are savory puffs, of which they make a vegetarian version too. Marag, a spicy and appetizing mutton soup, served with heart shaped Dil Naan is a common wedding delight. Paya and Zabaan Nihari served with naan are delicious soupy delights made with trotters and tongue with dominant flavors of garam masala and dagad phool or stone flower. The Hyderabadi Mutton/Chicken Biryani will entice non-vegetarians. The Vegetarians get to enjoy delights like Talihuwi Arbi, Bagara Khana, Khatti Dal and a Veg Biryani served with Baghare Baigan and dahi ki chutney. Do not miss on the flavors of Kaddu ka Dalcha, a preparation of lentils cooked with gourd which truly represents the Mughlai cuisine of Hyderabad. End your meal on a sweet note with Qoobani Ka Meetha, a delicious dessert made by combining apricots and malai.

LIFESTYLE Tell us a little about how the idea of becoming a stylist came into happening?

I think it’s something that happened accidentally. I joined the film industry as a costume designer but thanks to Sam and our passion for clothes, I started styling and I have never looked back.

How has the journey been by far?

It has been brilliant. I have enjoyed every bit of it. The learning process is the best! In every movie there’s a scope to learn and grow; the same is with styling for an event.

Your morning, evening and weekend routine for the day?

Mornings start with my baby, that’s the best time of the day. Then, I am off to shoots by 8 am or so. The day continues with shoots, meetings, and shopping. This is what my days and evenings comprise of. There are no weekends for me. I work with my friends which makes my work fun too.

What do you do in your leisure time if you are not working?

I am home if I am not working. I like to catch up on films I haven’t watched and sleep!

How do you manage your work and personal life?

I don’t know if there’s a particular formula but whatever it is, seems to be working. I try to balance as much as I can.

Tell us something about your family?

My husband Ajay, I and our baby Ansh. I have a great set of in laws whom I love and my parents; they have supported me through

everything. I don’t think I can work this way and have such crazy work schedules if my family did not support me as much.

How is your usual day at work?

It is very hectic, there is lots of work because I work on multiple projects and there’s always something happening, which I love!

What is next for you?

There are about 15 films in the pipeline for the year... I am starting a new restaurant next month along with a few friends and also working on starting my label by summer.

Rapid fire 1. 3 things you don’t leave home without?

Phone, diary and chapstick.

LIFESTYLE

‘I call myself an Ambient, as I don’t quite fit into either categories of an Introvert or an Extrovert. Like an Extrovert, I am pretty outgoing, drawn to people and get my energy from social gatherings. On the other hand, I crave and enjoy my alone time as well. I am a very easy going person, fitting and finding myself being content with any situation pretty naturally.

When it comes to work, I am a workaholic and you will never find me sitting idle in one place.

Either on the phone or rushing to a meeting, I am jack of all, accompanied with the master of the field (my partners); I am a jugadu and fit my work perfectly, I take quick decisions according to the situation with a practical thought.’ says Ayush ‘I am a happy go lucky person by nature. Love experimenting with life. Music, adventure and traveling are always a big yes. An absolute perfectionist and quite a critic. I can be really fussy and analytical at times, but believe in having a practical approach towards life. I love my space and consider my family and friends to be my strength.

Coming to my workplace, I am open to new ideas. It might not be easy to please me. I strongly believe in the overall development of my team, because a company is only as strong as the team behind it.’ says Farah

How did you come up with ‘Pink Pagdi’ ‘We three musketeers were united at a grand wedding of a Tollywood star. We were all in charge of different segments but while working there, we realized we are essentially guided by the same passion and the same ideology. It was then that we decided to have our own venture, hence PINK Pagdi was conceived. ‘ Srinivas

What according to you is the main USP that makes your company different from others in Hyderabad?

‘Pink Pagadi conceptualizes the dream wedding one might have. We are essentially wedding planners who have built a niche for ourselves in Hyderabad. We passionately believe that great designs are an outcome of well thought out concepts. We devote ourselves to find the taste of our clients, what their idea of a dream wedding entails and what suits them the best. Pink Pagadi is a magic wand you would love to have in order to make that big day of your life perfect. At Pink Pagadi, we work with the motto to make your wedding extraordinary. Hence we call our concepts the ‘Big idea’ and whatever we do, we execute it with utmost panache.’ Adds Ayush

What are your roles in specific?

The Visionary : With an excellent background in understanding market dynamics and client needs, and a natural knack for creativity, Farha Kudari takes care of the Ideation department and putting everything together.

The Executor : To ensure that you’re special day be a memorable one, Srinivas Gunishetty puts all the pieces together and builds up your dream wedding and acts as an executor.

The Conceptualizer : Heading the creative department is Ayush Agarwal, who is known for his out-of-the-box thinking and unconventional ideas. With a diploma in Art Direction and experience in working with MTV, Ayush’s artistic background is evident in his ability to interpret and develop client’s ideas and thoughts, collaborating with them to create a completely personalized wedding.

How do you keep your creativity alive and ideas fresh?

‘At Pink Pagdi, we believe, “Creativity is directly proportional to your risk appetite”; higher your risk appetite the better the creativity. The day you get scared of experimenting is when your creativity will die and that is what we do not let happen. Inspiration and positivity is in our blood, and it is inspiration along with positive thoughts that keeps us going.

Sometimes outsiders are invited for these sessions, as working in the same field and especially in season time we could fall prey to one track thinking. One absurd idea from anywhere could make a whole theme for us for the season.’ says Farah

Do you ever have clashes in idea? If so, how do you come to a conclusion?

‘Yes. We are 3 different individuals and so are our ideologies but our goal is the same. You will find us in constant debates and war rooms. We all believe that open communication is the key to a strong partnership.

We respect each other’s opinion and believe in each other’s strengths.

In situations of clashes in ideas, we let the one with command in that area take over. Also with experience as a team, we have realized things that have worked and not worked for us in the past and that has strengthened our bond and trust in each other’s capabilities.’ adds Srinivas

What was the most difficult event you promoted? What made it difficult?

‘We take all the events as a challenge and promote it in our best capacity. However, if we had to look at one such event, there’s one that involved executing an entire wedding reception setup in just three hours. The reception had a setup which would ideally require 10 hours 20 NOVEMBER, 2016 - TULIP

of execution time? It is the combination of meticulous planning, appropriate vendor selection, bond with the hotel and focused supervision in every field that helped in the flawless execution of the plan.’ says Ayush

How do you get the ideas out of brides/families so that they describe to you effectively their vision for the wedding day/ special event?

‘Nothing works better than an intriguing talking; that is what our 1st meeting is all about. We have a set questionnaire that helps us to get the base perfectly right. We ask numerous questions multiple times, show them references and help them to imagine what we are trying to communicate. We ensure to have spoken to each one that matters.

We become a part of the family, suggest them things that they should and warn them about the don’ts to make THE DAY a special one.

Tell me about a time when you had to deal with a difficult client.

How did you manage that relationship?

Encountering Birdezilla and Groomzilla is the job of Super Heroes like us. Every Wedding is special not just for the client but for us and making the client feel that way is the key to a lasting relationship.

Creating a bond is a necessity and we ensure to do this by making our clients know we are listening. We make sure that the only duty of one of us is to stay in constant touch with the client and comfort him.

We also follow certain protocols such as contracts, MOU’s and other legal formalities, so that both parties are align. Our funda is to ensure to promise minimal and deliver at a maximum; hence we hardly have any disheartened clients.

What are the trends that are ruling this season, the color pallet and decor theme you are most likely to use best for the following -

Day wedding: Keep it simple and play with fabric and colors. Bright, vibrant and playful are the order of the day for day weddings.

Night wedding: Royal never goes out of fashion big sets with intricate work and with a touch of modernism is what we have seen this season.

Cocktail: Metallic grey red, blue, black bottle green amber etc. usually for cocktail parties. We go for theme based parties like casino, a day in Vegas, carnival etc Sangeet: Gone are the days when Sangeets were done by some sects of people. Sangeets have become bigger now. They are no less than any big award ceremonies that you see on TV. Black and Red is what have dominated this season so far and now we are going for metallic grey’s, Gold and Black.

Mehendi: Multi color peppy with loads of activities for guest.

The Dabang Diva

Sonakshi Sinha is a warm and peppy person, literally

someone you will feel comfortable enough to walk up to in a room full of strangers and chat. She has a very nice girl vibe about her. But she can be naughty just as easily. With a knack for great fashion herself, She isn’t afraid to experiment— whether it’s ditching boring leggings for eclectic dhoti pants or skipping the formulaic LBD for a traffic-stopping cocktail dress.

She was in Hyderabad as a showstopper for Rahul Gandhi and Rohit Khanna at BPFT’16 and we made the most of the opportunity to get some fashion cues from the lady herself that will have you looking like a million bucks with minimal effort.

Reade on to know more about what she thinks of fashion, her dream wedding and what she loves the most.

On being in Hyderabad I keep coming here for promotions and shoots; I have stayed here for 25 days when I was shooting here for linga. But it’s always been work visits for me, I haven’t really got a chance to go around the city, but I make sure I always carry some Biryani home, with me.

5 things you don’t step out of home without?

My hoodie, my chain- that I am really attached to and never leave home without, sunglasses, wallet and lipstick.

Your Fashion confession I am a very simple person by nature and so is my sense of style and fashion. I would rather dress down than dress up; because in my profession I always have to dress up anyway.

What part of your work do you enjoy the most?

My favourite part is process of shooting the film and performing on stage, I just love being on stage among live audience.

When not working: I love travelling so I take off whenever I get an opportunity, other than that I catch up with friends, spend time with family and the usual things that you don’t get to do in a hectic schedule.

One trend you would never try?

Bum shorts (its ridicules, laughs!)

When it comes to styling do you go by word of stylist or have your opinin too?

No No!! Of course not, I always have my inputs because nobody understands your body type better than yourself; you always have a better idea about what suits you. With me there is an entire process of trials and fittings, seeing what looks good, contemplating before finalising an outfit. So I like to be in sync with my stylist and designers that I work with, also my educational background in fashion helps, so I think it’s always a joint effort Favourite Indian designer: definitely Manish Malhotra , I also like wearing Anita Dongre.

On Dream Wedding: I intended to have the simplest beach wedding I can think of, I don’t even want to dress up on that day, I want to wear a simple thin gown, and maybe get marred barefoot on the smooth sand.

What would you wear- Something simple but in red keeping Indian tradition in mind.

3 things in a man that would instantly attract you?

Firstly, good sense of humour, second, if he smells good and third, he should be able to hold a conversation.

22 NOVEMBER, 2016 - TULIP

How would you describe a modern Indian bride?

Experimental! Brides today don’t stick to what they have been fed for so long, in terms of traditional dressing, they are experimenting with different silhouettes, different designers, mixing and matching. I have been to weddings where brides are like ‘i don’t have to be completely be decked up for functions’ and I feel it’s great.

Getting Hitched Soon Harita Singh & Kaustubh Kapruwan We talk to Harita about her beautiful relationship with Kaustabh.

Courtship period- 6 months as of now Best memory so far- When he formally asked me out 4 years ago on a rooftop lit up beautifully with candles, I was really surprised.

One thing about him that makes you confident and feel, “he is the one”- There is not a moment, when I’ve got to pretend to be somebody I am not, when I am with him.

Who among you both is going to be the excited one and the one with all the wedding fits - Definitely me when it comes to all the wedding preps. I am a typical Virgo who wants the tiniest of details to be perfect. But in other terms, we’re both looking forward to getting married.

Divya Sirwani & Mohit Nainani We talk to Divya about her beautiful relationship with Mohit.

Courtship period - One year Best memory so far-He is the king of surprises and never fails to amuse me. But nothing tops the surprise he planned for me the day he proposed; every little detail was so well taken care of. Cannot forget that day!

One thing about him that makes you confident and feel, “he is the one”He’s been my mirror, shield and sword unconditionally. I’ve got all of that rolled up in one person. He makes me secure in so many beautiful ways. And of course, being with him for 9 years & still watch his love unchanged makes me fall in love with him more n more!

Who among you both is going to be the excited one and the one with all the wedding fits - The over-the-top excited one is me hands down and I guess that’s what we women are organically. Mohit is a good mix of both excited and jittery. Let’s just say he’s the more responsible one and I take care of the fun department. ‘Wink’

Forever in Love

Rahul and Rihana Rawlani Wedding date: 25th September 2015 If you had to describe your journey so far in 1 sentence :-It’s been a roller coaster ride for both of us as being in a relationship and staying together as a married couple are two entirely different things but I must say it’s probably been one of the best years in the lifetime.

One best memory from the entire wedding gala:

Rihanna - When we tied the knot and took our wows Rahul- I enjoyed each and every moment in those 3 days.

What did you wear on your D-day?

Rihanna - I wore a peach colored cape with shorts by Purva Kumar for the pool party. Then, for the ring ceremony, I wore a beautiful gown by Kamaali Couture as the theme was IIFA - the awards night. My wedding lehenga was customized by Akansha Arora from Raas. And, I wore a bright coral Gaurav Gupta saree gown for my reception.

Rahul - For pool party, I wore a Hawaiian printed shirt with capri pants, an indo-western outfit for the ring ceremony, sherwani for wedding and a tuxedo suit for reception.

One person you would really like to thank for being there as a constant support throughout your wedding?

Rihanna - I would like to thank my aunt Anju for always being there by my side as a support system during all my wedding preparations and accompanying me to all the places for my trousseau shopping. And of course, my dad for managing everything so well; it wouldn’t have been possible without him.

Rahul - I would like to thank my sister for helping me throughout with all my preps and managing everything so well.

Your first impression on each other when you first met?

Sangeet Ceremony Ideas The Skit: Letting an array of songs tell the story of how you met or how as a couple you both are meant to be, is an adorable way to stage a Sangeet performance. While some couples have their families join forces and perform together, that way getting them more acquainted; other couples have a two sided performance, therefore adding to the excitement as to which side performed better. Either way, everyone has fun, which is the main purpose of a Sangeet. And since it’s a Skit, the songs can range from any latest Bollywood to Classics or even International hits wherein the lyrics represent steps of your life. At times even witty snippets of commentary or impersonation are imbibed in between the songs to add to the entertainment and laughter!

A Slideshow: Both pictures and music have the power to say what words can’t, so; imagine how powerful a performance it will be if both these aspects are brought together. While the pictures slideshow can go on in the background, having a song-and-dance representing every picture can be staged. This is not only an innovative idea; it also gets your guests engaged in the performance.

A Desi Themed Song & Dance: It so can happen that the bride and groom can be from culturally different backdrops – to that there would be nothing better than using it as an opportunity for a ‘Desi Themed Song-&-Dance’ in which the song selections could be a fusion of beats from both cultures. Where, for example, with a folk-like Punjabi song like ‘Baari-Barsi’ or ‘Gur Nalo Ishq Mitha’ there can be a Guajarati Garba dance. This blending represents the union of two families’ creative way of celebration!

TARUN TAHILIANI BE cheerful, be happy wear happy colours and enjoy yourself. Don’t stress, don’t wear an outfit just for visual appeal but for comfort as well. Keep in mind the skin tone and body type. Taller people can opt for outfit’s more than one colour, for brides who are shorter, single colour works better. Indian brides change into western outfits the second the wedding is over but if you want to keep the newness of the whole experience to last a bit longer, and then I would suggest light draped saris and anarkalis with stylish silhouettes and few embellishments.

Vaishali Couture

Vaishali Agarwal, is a Hyderabad-based fashion designer and founder of Vaishali couture. She is best known for her intricate designs that make a classy statement in the world of trends. With over 15 years of experience, Vaishali has built a clientele that loves to come back to her. She has designed and styled various celebrities like Saina Nehwal, Sania Mirza, Regina Cassandra, Adah Sharma, Nitya Menon and Ramya Krishna. She has also designed outfits for various Tollywood movies like Kotta Janta, Ala Modlainindi and Kalyan Vaibhavam.

Tell us about yourself as an individual?

I have been in the fashion industry for over 15 years now. It is my passion and I am glad that I can do it every single day of my life. Talking to clients, getting involved with them through my work and watching them walk in my designs gives me immense satisfaction. Apart from this, I spend time watching movies, doing house chores, traveling, catching up with friends and family, reading and doing extensive research in my field of fashion. My husband, Shishir and I have a daughter, Sandhya, she is pursuing her graduation from O.P Jindal Global University.

Tell us about how did you find your passion in having your own bridal and pret line?

I started my career in fashion with kids wear, way back in 2000. It was a good learning experience because when you work with or for kids, one has to pay attention to every detail. Right from using different types of embroidery to the finishing, children need comfortable wear. I also wanted to study the language and technique of fashion. I decided to get a formal degree from NIFT. After completing my course, I took a break from work to take care of my daughter and that’s when I realized how much I love the power of clothing and how, designing clothes and dressing up brides made me happy. Since then, I haven’t looked back and today the label has evolved to Vaishali Couture.

What makes you stand out from the rest in this line of business?

For us, client satisfaction is the ultimate goal. We strive to achieve it through our work and service. If a client comes to us and does not like the fit or feels uncomfortable, we do everything to make it better. Apart from our service, I think the last 15 years have helped me to understand the unique needs of families and brides. I have an insight into their tradition, likes and dislikes which make our work more relevant, customized and loved.

I would say, the beauty regimen for a bride should ideally start 3 months before the D-Day. Start with your home care remedies & diet to help you achieve a glowing look.

Month 3 - Begin with your home remedies concentrating on issues like dry skin, dark circles, uneven skin tone, tan removal, pimples, etc. Go for regular walks and follow your fitness regimen. Take a hot oil massage every week. Beauty sleep is a must. Take care of your diet & drink lots of water.

Month 2 - Start your body scrubs, hair spas, detoxification therapy, and also continue with your Month 3 procedures.

Month 1 - Add on a facial, manicure, pedicure, bleach, waxing etc., along with your previous months regimen.

Nail it, The Nail Studio “To have beautiful Nails and Nail polishes has been a passion with me since the time I was 16. I remember spending all my pocket money on buying new nail polishes then. I tried new designs and colors on friends and family for years until I discovered that this hobby can become a profession. I researched and found out about the gel nails technology and went on to equip myself by doing various courses from different places to master the art. After 2 years of freelancing, I realized there is potential in having a unique set up and ‘Nail it’ was born. Our USP so far has been personal attention and services along with a beautiful and comfortable ambience for our clients.” Priya Thakur, Founder & Designer What they have: Gel nails, Acrygel, Nail extensions, variety of Stick on nail options, 3D nail art, stickers, glitters, exclusive bridal art, variety of nail art options for teenagers and young girls, 3 categories of manicure & pedicures.

Aliya Baig Tell us one highly useful and simple beauty tip that every women should follow ?

CTSM ..Cleansing, Toning, Scrubbing and Moisturizing goes a long way in maintaining good skin. Most of the time scrubbing is neglected, it’s important to get rid of dead skin to have a healthy looking skin.

Most often done mistake that every bride must avoid during her functions or

wedding day?

Everyone is excited seeing you as a bride and wants to show love to you on your wedding day but avoid over enthusiastic relatives who will hug and kiss you by transferring lipsticks on and mess up the dress and hair set up. Be a little firm and say no when you think it’s getting a little too over.

Tell us what looks you would go for this season for the following Night wedding - I believe in keeping the wedding day as traditional as possible. This season is full on rustic, old world charm yet glamorous wedding outfits. Brides have become more contemporary. Red is not much preferred these days. So, I would advise them to go for colors like dull Gold, Bronze, copper etc., as they look new yet still bridal and

traditional.

Reception - reception can be all in all contemporary and modern; colors like peaches and pinks. Sensuous gowns and drape style outfits look really glamorous and are in.

Sangeet- keep it Bollywood! As there is so much of dance and masti happening, go for glam lehengas in colors like shocking pinks and neon colors.

Mehandi- go for something comfortable in what you wear, hair messy braided so they are manageable while you are getting your Mehandi done.

Few weeks before the wedding are full of parties, celebrations, eating out and an invitation to weight gain and skin breakouts for many! Rina Hindocha shares some easy pointers that will come handy, especially with very little time left in hand for to be brides & grooms. Choose fitness program that you enjoy which incorporates weight training, cardio intervals and yoga. Along with that continue with a healthy nutrition program. Cycling, jogging, skipping, swimming, dance and aerobics, and training also help. Yoga and stretching should be a part of your routine, no matter which exercise you choose. For the groom push-ups, sit-ups and jogs don’t cost anything and can build them around their schedule. If you want to push things further, home workout videos have proven to be quite successful, as long as they stick to them, of course. On the food part focus on whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean protein and calcium, not sweets and fats. Also, take a daily multi-vitamin. If you have to be at a restaurant, identify the three healthiest things on the menu and pick between those. Shut some eye!! Getting enough sleep before the wedding goes hand-in-hand with good skin and healthy weight loss. Lack of sufficient sleep not only leads to low energy levels, insufficient sleep results in blood-shot, puffy eyes, dark circles and pale skin.

Focus should be on rest and relaxation, since stress can increase as the big day approaches.

Try taking a yoga class in the evenings so you will sleep better at night and use a sauna for 10 minutes at least three days a week. At the end brides and grooms will feel great and will be ready to face the world as a family and one that maintains the new healthy routine through time”, says Rina Hindocha. Yoga Instructor

Other spas you can visit

Heavenly Spa at Westin

Spa for most of us means a place where you get a massage which is actually not the case and the Westin, Heavenly Spa shows us why. The concept at Westin Heavenly Spa is to create a complete wellness experience. It is one of our favorites in the city, and one you should definitely opt for to beat your pre wedding stress.

After a warm welcome, the assigned masseuse leads you to one of their fine and well equipped massage rooms. Once you have changed in your robe and all set, they begin with soaking your feet in warm water using mineral salt to cleanse them. The best part about their hour long signature massage is that it involves a lot of stretching as well. They also ask you about a certain preferred area which you would like them to be more focused on, like any of your stress areas like feet, back or hands. They concentrate on right pressure points relieving you of any stress and have a more enhanced blood circulation in your body. As the warm oil spreads throughout your body, you can feel all aches slowly fade away and thereby helping you to enter a state of absolute bliss. This goes for over an hour and the masseuse slowly kneads on your muscles combining it with gentle strokes. The last 10-15 minutes she spends massaging your face and head. More like pressing the right pressure points and liberate any strain, followed by a good 10 minutes steam to absorb all the oil and complete the treatment.

Once you have showered and dressed, they lead you to a dim lit seating area, to have a bit of ‘me’ time, while you sip on some herbal tea and enjoy some dark chocolates and walnuts to boost you up.

Organice It

SPECIAL

Organizing really starts when you are a little girl. Keeping your room tidy and reinventing everyday products to organize your room gave Riddhi Doshi the idea very early that, if she ever gets into a creative field it has to be something relating to her passion. She feels strongly about it. ORGANICE is India’s first organizing company. Their aim is to remain a company driven by innovation in product and design. They aim to bring more color and design aesthetics to the existing product line. They regularly draw inspiration from art galleries and design fairs. For their spring summer 2017, they took inspiration from their tour to Budapest and Prague.

Organice also very often tours various cities with trunk shows and exhibitions.

Their travel Lingerie Organizer - is a traveler essential item and so is the cosmetic Organizer – although newly launched, it has created a huge buzz on social media. “We absolutely love it when everyday ordinary people think our products are extra ordinary. That is a high, we live for”, they explain.

Many ladies around the city, specially our p3’s wear whatever they find though it does not suit them, of course to defend them they say one needs to be comfortable in their own skin. The fact is even they know they are lazy to hit the gym and this is so not appealing to the eyes! Who wants to see popping out love handles, it is high time to work out than play the defense game ladies.

Groom The Gentlemen’s Way

Truefitt & Hill

Given the title of the ‘Oldest Barbershop in the World’ by the Guinness Book of World Records, Truefitt & Hill is one of the most respected and long-storied wet shaving companies in existence.

Having great response post its launch of luxury barbershop at Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, Truefitt & Hill specializes in men’s grooming product and services. The prestigious history of Truefitt & Hill began in 1805 during the reign of H.M. King George III. Since then, the clientele has included members of the male like of the Royal Family, as well as members of the visiting Royal households. Truefitt and Hill barbers hold Royal Warrant to H.R.H., The Duke of Edinburgh. It has provided discerning gentleman with the finest grooming products and services. The elite clientele also include the Business leaders, Members of Parliament, Ambassadors and Diplomats and visiting Dignitaries. Oscar Wilde, Charles Dickens, Lord Byron, Frank Sinatra, Winston Churchill, Alfred Hitchcock and Laurence Olivier are few of their renowned clients. Apart from London Truefitt & Hill has the luxe barber shop in Chicago, Toronto, Beijing, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Bangkok, Baku.

The Gentlemen in Hyderabad can now experience the royal services, grooming products and accessories. It is one of the finest pampering hubs for men. If you opt to redefine a plush pampering, Truefitt & Hill just does all the talking with its unmatched product quality and prestigious procedures! It is almost like entering the United Kingdom where you are greeted by the most courteous personnel who take you on a majestic ride. Decorated with gramophones, door bells and carriers, everything is vintage and classy because that is how the British do it! Truefitt & Hill has provided discerning gentlemen with not only the finest grooming products and services but also offer an opportunity to look and feel

their very best. It was established in 1805 and they are the world’s oldest barbershop.

Their exceptional services include all the classic and royal treatments like an assortment of signature procedures consisting of the Royal Haircut, Shave, Manicure and Pedicure. They also have a complete package like the Classic Package and the Royal Grooming Package. We opted for the two well-liked services – Royal Haircut and Royal Facial with Pedicure.

They have a separate splendid den for the Royal treatments, by the way!

Must try The Royal Haircut: The procedure begins with a personal consultation and then the ritual proceeds with one of their specially formulated shampoos that nourish, repair and add strength & volume to the hair.

Towel-dry sets the hair right; allowing the master barber to cut the royal mane to excellence. Followed by a soothing head massage with oil, the hair is shampooed, rinsed and conditioned later. The hair is then sculpted to create a style that is distinct and definitive. The whole session takes about 60 minutes to complete and it is something enormously worth to decide on for; while you are Truefitt and Hill.

The Royal Facial: The Royal Facial is an intense skin-cleansing regime that exfoliates, lets your skin breathe and leaves it glowing like never before. It treats one’s appearance to look their best. The entire session is for 45 minutes. Royal pedicure is nothing like you have experienced earlier. It consists of scrubbing, moisturizing and foot reflexology which is available in flavors like Hawaiian Lei orchid/ Papaya Nectar/ Milk N Honey/ Strawberry flavors.

SPECIAL

‘Ustraa by Rahul Anand & Rajat Tuli was started like everything else does at Happily Unmarried. With someone ranting in office about how there are no good products for men available in the grooming department.

While the more good looking sex has so many options, the Indian men have been getting a complete raw deal.

So we did a bit of research, asked around and realized that something needs to be done. And Ustraa was born.

Ustraa started in August. Happily Unmarried has been around for 10 years.

The response so far has been overwhelming and it is humbling to know that so many people have trusted us. We try and ensure that we do not let this faith break and each & every ingredient that goes in our products gets approved after major tests and checks. We also have a full blown content and customer care platform which deals with issues that our customers face - like hair growth, product suggestions, explaining usage, ingredients etc. All our products are also completely SLS, SLES & Paraben free, Not tested on animals (not even the ingredients we source) and completely ethical. We have products lined up in research and development and the moment they pass quality and testing you will see them online in all their glory. We intent on becoming a complete men’s grooming platform very soon. ‘says Abhijit.

Mastering the segment of hand crafted exclusive and niche buttons for men, both wanted to reach out to a larger audience and add style as a sash on the men folk.

Love for textiles and block prints - around which they have grown-up brings forth a reflection of selective and rich taste in their bespoke and premium collections. ‘AZGA was conceptualized to offer handcrafted buttons to men of impeccable taste and undeniable aura. They by far India’s one of the first ever brands to offer a varied range of handcrafted buttons. An eye for detail, warmth for kaarigars and love for handmade comes to us naturally from our parents.

The Man Company

‘When I moved back to India from London 2 years back, I couldn’t find many reasonably priced quality men grooming essentials. Many of them were poor quality mass market products or were overpriced for no apparent reason. While discussing this problem with old friends Hitesh Dhingra, Bhisham Bhateja and Parvesh Kumar (now co-founders) that’s when the idea clicked to have a great head to toe brand for the Indian (men grooming) market. The next day the team was on a mission and TMC was born. Today, start-ups like The Man Company are giving men the choice and an alternate (digital) avenue that they never had in the past. Men grooming has long been ignored by FMCG companies. Their focus has always been women since its 90% of the personal care market and traditionally, women have been the influencers for purchase decisions at home.

With changing times, men are getting more conscious about what they want to use. They no longer want to compromise on their personal care. It’s not only about the packaging, but also the ingredients that are good for the body, fragrance, and a brand that men can relate to.’ says Rohit Chawla, Co founder.

So far, the response has been phenomenal. We are growing rapidly with 50% month on month growth. We have received overwhelming response from customer, who have not only been repeat buying from us, but have also been referring our brand to their friends and family. Our biggest challenge is to keep up with the growing demand, which is a good thing!

Secondly, men are life-casting all the time (selfies, profile pictures, social media apps like Snap chat, Instagram, Tinder) and it has become wash or a hair cream. important for men to look good.

‘Starting a business of my own was a passion I always wanted to pursue and decided if I had to start something it would be with fashion.

Inspired by this, my friend Ruchika was ready to join hands with me to create a wonderful fusion of our own personal designs. We have our partner Nupur who is closely working with us on the designing area and keep updating us on the upcoming trends and fashion.

After a long discussion between all three of us, on what we could create, we decided to come up with our own product line of bags & clutches, by simply taking into consideration that every Indian woman’s basic necessity is to own a bag.

We then, started to curate bags that are unique and are of top quality, keeping price points in mind. Our aim is to provide our customer the best bags / clutches’ at reasonable prices. Taking all this in account, we make sure we customize amazing products to our clientele with just limited stock.

Our product range has outgrown to our imagination with the amazing response that we have received in our initial nine months via aide of social media. We surely want to move from exhibitions to e-commerce and in the future launch our own website and will be soon coming up with our new product line which will be majorly into accessories and home décor as well.

Tea Trunk

‘I grew up collecting teas. Friends and family who would travel well would bring back tea as presents.

At one point, I owned over 100 rare and exotic teas from China, Japan, Taiwan, Russia, England, Turkey, Greece, Egypt, Kenya and so on. I owned this tea treasure but I knew little about these teas. So in 2011, my passion for tea took me to a professional tea school in Sri Lanka, where I studied under the guidance of Japanese tea master, Nao Kumekawa.

During my study, I visited numerous tea gardens, tasted 100 cups of tea a day, and profiled over 2000 varieties of tea.

I left Tea School inspired and brimming with stories about tea, and decided to make it my mission to demystify tea-speak. Many tea tastings and workshops followed. The more stories I told, the more I heard. I smiled extra bright when chai-lovers walked over to say that they had never had tea this way. And I wanted more and more people to discover and enjoy good-quality tea. Thus was born Tea Trunk, the name inspired from my father’s vintage trunk and a tribute to where my love of tea began.’ says Snigdha Manchanda Today my trunk holds gourmet tea blends crafted by me. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Take your pick, and experience tea like it should be.

We are not tea brokers, traders or resellers. As craftsmen, we work directly with tea gardens, farmers and farmer cooperatives. We source our teas from them and we craft our own unique blends. Our teas are whole leaf, flavourful and healthy. No artificial colours. No additives. No tea dust. Our teas are served and retailed in over 200 locations across India. We were even invited to participate in the World Tea Expo.

We are constantly being creative and developing new flavours and tea blends, like Chilli Chai which is the regular, everyone’s favourite masala chai but with a twist, ahint of red chilli flakes! Another of our favourites is our unique Marigold Green Tea. It is a festive blend of green tea and marigold flowers, our tribute to the iconic Marigold Flower of India. This blend is soothing and refreshing! We also keep curating gift hampers, hosting tea parties and conducting tea tasting workshops.

CERAMIC PRO is the new sensation in town and to know more about it, we got in touch with the self-effacing MR.NISHANT SABOO, Director of SABOO CERAMIC PRO INDIA.He talks about his journey with Ceramic Pro and how it’s going to revolutionize the Indian Lifestyle Sector, especially the automobile industry.

Can you walk us through the company profile?

Ceramic Pro is the brand of Nanoshine Ltd, And with over 3500 installers in more than 70 countries around the globe, its rapidly growing as the premium brand in the sector. For years the company has been creating industrial, multi-functional, protective coatings for all surfaces. I was briefed about this product last September by one of my close friends Mr. Agastya who saw its potential in Australia and he advised me to attend the SEMA show to gain more insight. I went to attend the SEMA Show in San Diego from where I met Mr.Peter and Mr. Adam from Ceramic Pro who educated, trained and enrolled me into the Ceramic Pro family.

Tell us more about ceramic Pro in India?

It was clear to me relatively early that one needed to confront the challenging situations faced by this sector and to have an unique product that has applications in all sectors is like a dream come true, and this is what happed to me while in SEMA. Coming back to India I had with me samples of all the major polishing brands and started conducting rigorous in-house R&D and after I grew in confidence with Ceramic Pro from my own experience, I went ahead and took the dealership for India in July, 2016. Now we have Ceramic Pro Showrooms in Hyderabad, Chennai, Cochin, Surat, Pune and Trivandram and Jaipur, Delhi, Bengaluru showrooms will be opened in the coming weeks.

What makes ceramic pro unique and what are its features?

Ceramic Pro is the only coating brand that has been certified by SGS, the worlds leading inspection, verification and certification entity.

Ceramic Pro is a clear, liquid Nano ceramic coating, which when cured will chemically bond, transforming itself on the surface to become a rigid, super-structure of Nano glass, protecting the substrate it is applied to indefinitely. Thus the shield formed is of permanent nature, resistant to solvents,acids, alkalis, UV rays, harsh weather conditions, fire and corrosion. This preserves the original factory paint, makes the surface glossy, selfcleaning and super hydrophobic.

Can you brief us about the process involved?

Any car that visits a Ceramic Pro centre goes through a process where the car is initially inspected and recommended a coating package based on the driving profile; say for example a car that regularly goes on the highway needs more protection than a car that’s primarily used for the city drive. Then the car is cleaned by foam wash, after which detailing, paint correction processes are done and the car is polished with Menzerna (German), Rupes (Italian) compounds and applied with Rupes machines. Once this entire process is done (approx. 6 hours), the surface is again cleaned with IPA to bring the surface to a stage where only the metal and the clear coat paint is remaining. Then the car is taken to an A/C bay and Ceramic Pro Nano Polish is applied that prepares the surface ready for bonding and then Ceramic Pro 9H that creates the layers protecting the surface, is applied with proper time breaks for proper curing and finally after the curing, Ceramic Pro Light is applied for extra gloss. Ceramic Pro rain for glasses, Ceramic Pro Leather for Leather surfaces and Ceramic Pro Wheel & Caliper is applied based on the packages chosen by the customer. The complete process takes three days and before delivery the car is baked with IR lamps or inside a paint booth for faster curing. We also educate and provide a demo to the customers and their caretakers on how to clean and maintain their car post applicationto achieve maximum life for the coating that’s been applied.

What are your plans for ceramic pro in India?

We at Ceramic Pro India are planning to venture into Industrial, Marineand Aeronautical and Construction sectors once we are satisfied with our in-house R&D. We aim to have our presence in all major cities of India by the end of 2017.

ENTERTAINMENT

MOVIES Movie Reviews

Mirzya Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Mirzya is a victim of some legitimate expectations than a prey to Sahiban’s perceived betrayal. Why did Sahiban break Mirza’s arrows? If this was the big central question that Mehra went about exploring in his reinterpretation of the Punjabi love legend then, for all the hope he kindled, the film doesn’t quite come up with any startling revelations, nor does it offer a radical, modern understanding of the tale. At another level the most interesting and compelling bit about Mirzya — its musical structure — also becomes its undoing.

The film plays out like a highly stylised, spectacular Broadway musical; it does as though you are witnessing larger than life theatre on a 70 mm screen. You can actually see the film in its soundtrack alone. It remains the mainstay and takes away from the film. It’s a pity then that despite so much happening, so much aspired for in the film, in the end you don’t feel as though you have come back with something substantial. As in each of his films Mehra is not content with the usual, is highly ambitious with his craft but doesn’t quite hit the target here.

Jack Reacher-Never go Back Let’s talk about Tom Cruise for a minute. They say; you must always separate the artist from the art, which is, like most rational advice, easier said than done. But with Tom Cruise, it has become a necessity. You see, despite his… quirks, Cruise is still – and this is a fact – one of the most dependable action heroes working right now. And Jack Reacher: Never Go Back is the kind of film he should be able to pull off in his sleep. But this time, it’s almost as if several of his yes men actually said that to him, and the invincible immortal Tom Cruise, the tan-free and with the power of Xenu rushing to his head/heart, took a breath, and thought to himself ‘I can do that’. For every good idea in this film, there are ten bad ones. For all its feminist ambitions – what with Cobie Smulders being in it and all – it’s still Reacher who ends up saving the day, and in one crucial scene, even making Smulders look like a fool (in front of twenty bad guys, no less). There’s a reason this film isn’t called Cobie Smulders: Never Go Back. It needs to be stripped of all this pretense, and it needs to embrace what it really is: A film that would have been sentenced to an eternity on the 3-for2 aisle of the local DVD store had Tom Cruise’s face not been on those jingoistic, Trump state posters.

Ijam Puri Jagannadh, one of the leading directors of Tollywood, teaming up with Kalyan Ram raised eyebrows. Although Puri is going through lean phase, the teaser of “Ism” raised expectations and it gave impression that he has come back in form. By now, people have stopped expecting a classic like ‘Pokiri’ from Puri Jagannadh after watching so many bad movies from him but all agree that he is still capable of presenting a decent movie like ‘Temper’. Hence, expectations were built on “Ism” but he disappoints again with this film. Puri has shown an international mafia don like Javed Ibrahim more like a bafoon. He is seen interacting with a match-maker in a comic way, and meeting Kalyan Ram casually and giving him silly ideas. Not only that; in the end Javed Ibrahim turned into a good guy. Puri Jagannadh has made an International Don a noble person! This is the first time that Telugu film industry touched upon Wiki-Leaks kind of journalism. All in all, despite patriotic scenes, noble cause of journalism, the movie doesn’t hold interest due to bad packaging. Kalyan Ram and court scene in the end are good part of the movie.

Forecast For

November 2016 ARIES

November of 2016 will be a calm and relaxed time, especially in terms of work and finances. Nevertheless, despite the overall decline in the dynamics of this period (compared to the previous periods of 2016), the events around you will develop in the most vivid, unpredictable and somewhat amusing manner. Love life will appear unambiguous and, let’s say, quite eloquent, in comparison with the previous stages of the current one-year cycle. From the first days of the month you will literally come to realize that the lion’s share of your efforts were really pointless; especially in the area of personal relationships.

TAURUS

Taurus, the leading zodiac sign of the earth trine, in November of 2016, will find themselves in a fairly stable position, though a bit ambiguous.

It is better to focus on relevant issues, on the tasks that will be of decisive importance for you. And, although in this case everything will be highly individual, it is fair to say that in the first ten days of the month you will be able to clearly define not only priority in your work, but also the key issues that you’ll have to deal with. In terms of personal relationships, everything will be balanced and you will not have to resort to any complex multi-step combinations to achieve the desired results. It will be enough to focus on your task and consistently move towards it, especially since no barriers and obstacles are anticipated.

GEMINI

November of 2016 may well turn out to be though not a stable but definitely a bright and productive month, in the first place in the working and financial direction. Although it is too early to talk about the completion of all the current projects, it’s foolish not to mention that you’re extremely close to this line, which means you need to increase your concentration and focus on priorities. In relationships with your family and friends you will need to display maximum straightness and readiness for actions in order to resolve conflict situations. In no case should you “roll into metaphysics” and “breed new concepts “, to be more precise, you should try to think as less as possible, no matter how strange and ambiguous it may sound. November of 2016 should be an extremely active and dynamic time for you.

CANCER

November, the penultimate month of 2016, will be dynamic, but not as positive as you would like. You will need to consistently and scrupulously “sift” through all the events through the prism of your current capabilities. In the sense that, unfortunately, there will be more than enough scenarios at the current stage, but not every one of them you will be able to use with regard to your actual position. You’ll have to think a little, as they say,” to flex your brain”? In the end you really reach your desired result. pay attention to the way things work in your family circle. If this area is reigned by discord and total misunderstanding, then you should get rid of all other third-party matters and stabilize the situation as soon as possible, because without a reliable “rear” you won’t be able to set on the road of productive development.

TULIP - NOVEMBER, 2016 77

78 NOVEMBER, 2016 - TULIP

TAROT

LEO

Leo November of 2016 might appear a quite turbulent time, but clearly positive and promising in terms of debriefing. In this respect, a kind of fateful and fatal moment may be observed: at the end of the month you will still come to a predetermined ending, but the road that will take you there can be extremely arbitrary and unusual. Nevertheless, the roads that we are walking on are sometimes much more important than the results we achieve, so you shouldn’t underestimate the ambiguity of the situation. Regarding the sphere of personal relations, we can say only one thing: Leos will need to compete for their own happiness. In relationships with friends, you should try to be as honest and open as possible, even if someone pushes you to the treacherous rode.

VIRGO

November of 2016 for Virgo may be not as productive as hoped by representatives of this sign. But, it is also necessary to point out one simple fact: if you have something that does not work, do not rush to blame the stars and other circumstances. In terms of personal relationships, Venus will “exacerbate” (excuse me for so playful definition) your empathic abilities. In other words, you will feel a lot more than usual, you will have more empathy for people and you will intensify your personal attachment, but you should also remember that hatred, contempt and anger will also receive an additional incentive. Be careful and cautious; impulsivity is unacceptable, it is destructive and can destroy any relationship in no time.

LIBRA

The working direction in November of 2016 for zodiac sign Virgo may be a restless time, but it will be relatively productive. First of all, you should immediately tune in to the fact that all the tasks you normally perform; you will be unable to do now, not under the current position of the stars. For at least the entire first decade of the month you will have to behave like a meek lamb, because any action at all can attract the attention of your enemies, and you simply will not be able to handle them at this time. You don’t have to stand around and wait for the right moment to act in terms of personal relations; here you will be free to respond to circumstances as you see it and when you deem it necessary.

In any case, don’t worry about past mistakes and miscalculations, even if they now identify themselves in a special degree.

SCORPIO

The penultimate month of 2016 may seem a rather restless, in many ways ambiguous and eventful time for Scorpios. At the same time, November promises to be the most dynamic month you’ve ever experienced! The scope of work and entrepreneurship in November of 2016 for the zodiac sign Scorpio can turn out to be the direction in which people born under this sign will finally be able to realize their full potential. And it is important to consider a few things. Do not be discouraged if something doesn’t work out. Take your time; regroup your strength in the end everything will work out to your advantage.

In any other scenario, success is guaranteed, and the most daring expectations will be met with spectacular success.

SAGITTARIUS

The zodiac sign Sagittarius in November of 2016 will bring a lot of amazing and curious events, each of which you will remember for a long time. But whether the memories will be good or bad is entirely up to you. Try not to be too biased, as not all people are what they seem at first glance. Sometimes it is possible, they say, to work shoulder to shoulder with a person for a whole year, and then suddenly in a moment you can fit out something about them that is almost unimaginable.

Listen to others but make no mistake, the truth is not born in dispute; truth exists regardless of debate and opinion, and you can reach it only independently by improving and constantly evolving yourself.

CAPRICORN

If you work for yourself, be prepared for the fact that your opponents are active and all their activities that are possible, conceivable and inconceivable will be directed against you. If you do not work for yourself, try to be as flexible as possible, but not in terms of decision making, but in terms of adjusting to the circumstances, so to speak. No one’s asking you to “cave in under the world” but mimicry often yields much more productive results than a meaningless “fight the system”.

AQUARIUS

November of 2016 will feel quite calm and confident, although we cannot say that it will be unequivocally positive. Now, a lot will not be the way you long thought it would be, and this is important, because the moments of frustration will be followed by the chain of understanding bordering with revelation. Focus on what is really important to you, but do not be in a hurry to “distance yourself” from anything, because the more things happening around you, the easier it will be for you to “breathe”. Why? It’s simple: You can fulfill your potential and bring about the most productive results only when you operate at full speed.

PISCES

Be careful, you do not need to put forth excessive effort, and no special resources will be required from you, but note one simple fact: now your main opponents will have serious advantages. This is particularly true for those Pisces who work for themselves. Under no circumstances waste your time; if you have a “spare moment”, use it to receive some “bonus”, though not too significant, albeit it a real bonus for the future.

Another issue is how clearly you understand yourself and your real needs. As they say, if the ship has no course, no wind will be fair to him.

The metaphor is trite and frankly boring, but now it comes in handy, because in regard to emotional attitude, many Pisces at this stage may have problems of perception.
