Shahrukh Khan

A people’s person, passionate about his work, and having a Hyderabadi slang is how Shahrukh can be best described. His videos are a great pastime if you want to have a hearty, healthy laugh. With the passion of a thousand burning suns, Shahrukh did not stop at just making videos. He has gone a step ahead and made two movies, both very successful. “Agar kisi cheez ko dil se chaho toh poori kayenat tumhe use milane ki sazish mein lag jaati hai”, he says quoting Shahrukh Khan.

Tell us something about yourself?

I’m single, so, hello ladies! I’m really passionate about making videos I enjoy the process of writing, directing, acting, editing and everything related to it Basically my life revolves around creating cool content on YouTube I spend most of my time creating videos and coming up with funny ideas for my channel Hyderabad Diaries

How did you come up with the concept of Hyderabad Diaries? I always wanted to do something that clearly brought out my creative side as well as my personality. As I spent a lot of my time surfing through the Internet, I definitely was inspired by a lot of YouTubers to start my own channel. Wanting to create something very unique, I realised that there weren’t any YouTube channels

that made videos with Hyderabadi Slang What other motivation could I need? It seemed like the perfect idea to me. So, I started it. What is the proudest moment in your career? My proudest moment was when I made my first movie. When I first started my channel, I never thought that I’d reach a point where I would confidently make a movie of my own But it happened and happened so well that the movie was a huge hit. At this point, I am done shooting for another movie which is going to hit the theatres very soon What do you do in your free time when you’re not working?

The usual guy stuff I play video games, listen to music, order food, disappoint my parents, switch between social media apps scrolling through my feed for hours and order more food. I also love reading the comments on my pictures from all my fans It brings me immense pleasure to receive so much love from people who I don’t even know personally. It really boosts my self esteem and encourages me to make more videos Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?

“Celebrating the 5 year anniversary of you asking me this question” Mitch Hedberg. What does it take to be successful in the field you excel in?

It definitely takes a lot of passion because you cannot afford to get bored of the stuff you do. If you are not passionate about what you do, then you cannot deliver your 100% to the audience It also takes a lot of consistency as you cannot be inconsistent when people are waiting for your content In fact, there’s no place for inconsistency in any field and in any walk of life

Rapid Fire

Three things you never leave home without? My phone, wallet and car keys

Tell us the last lie you told someone?

“Reaching in 10 minutes bro ”

Are you a morning person or a night person?

Morning person My mind is very fresh in the mornings.

Favourite movie quote?

Since I’m named after the king of Bollywood, it has to be “Senorita, aise bade bade deshon mein choti choti baatein hoti rehti hai.”

Your biggest addiction?

Movies every language, every genre

What stores do you shop at most?

Fantoosh and Kumar shirts Haha, kidding I usually shop from UAE.

CELEBRATING THE HEROES THAT MEN ARE!

By Angela Tresiya

There are countless occasions to honour women, but how frequently do we honour men? They should actually be honoured equally because they are synonymous with the words "provider," "caretaker," or "sacrificial." The sacrifices of a man are never spoken of, and in this silence, a lot of feelings dissipate. It's time for the world to acknowledge them not only as courageous, strong, brave and masculine, but also as emotional beings. Barring all this, it is time that we embrace, celebrate and make them feel significant. As the month of November marks the International Men's Day, here's to celebrating the hero's that they are!

CelebrityFashionStylist

Beinganacecelebrityfashionstylist,wheredoesyourinspirationcomefrom?

My inspiration comes from not just one, but from many It comes from surpassing all the odds, striving hard to achieve my goals and being able to make a name for myself on my own. I also inspire myself everyday to achieve untouched skies. What is the one thing you wish people knew about being a celebrity fashion stylist andhowwouldyoudescribeyourworklifebalance?

Hahahahah! People think this profession is all glam, easy and lots of parties, but the reality is far too different. It’s a profession where one requires a lot of patience and lots of creativity and a calm state of mind. I really wish people knew the tremendous hard work that goes behind it to be called a celebrity fashion stylist Speaking of work life balance, being a fashion stylist to so many top actors and actresses is not easy. The working hours are odd with barely any offs. There’s travelling ,shoots ,events and fittings and look tests With such a schedule everyday, it becomes difficult to have a personal life mostly. But I make sure I switch off from work once I get home and sometimes take a weekend off to travel and refresh. Twice a year, a long holiday helps me balance my personal and professional life

Whatmakesyourprofessionunique,acutabovetherest?

Well, being a fashion stylist itself is surely a unique profession unlike the other mainstream professions. The immense travelling, fashion weeks across the world, bringing in new looks for the actors surely makes it a cut above the rest!

Theonemottoormantrathatyoubelieveinthatkeepsyougoingnowthatyoulookbackatyourjourneytillthisdate?

Well, I’d like to give the entire credit to my partner Hassan who keeps me going, who takes half or sometimes more than half of the workload onto him so that we meet our deadlines on time Coming to manta, I’d say keep calm , focus and target your goals step by step. My journey of a decade in styling has been simply amazing, a thrilling experience. Couldn’t have asked for more, I am so thankful to have been in this profession, so thankful to all my actor friends who appreciate my work and encourage me to do more, which has got me to this position in my career and life

Whatiscelebrating“InternationalMen’sDay”accordingtoyou?

A man is a true man when he gives equal respect, love and compassion to everyone in his life, starting from his mother, sister, friend’s wife and the elderly. He is a true man when he understands that this planet is not just his, he is not the supreme one. In Fact he shares this planet with other animals too and gives them all Love. When each man understands this and implies, that’s the true international men's day according to me

SriramRayabaram

FitnessInstructor/Coach

Asafitnessinstructor/coach,whodoyoulookuptothemost?

Right now the only name that comes to my mind is "Rock Dwayne Johnson". His discipline towards fitness, work and life inspires me everyday and I look up to him

Howdoyoubalanceyourworklifeandpersonallife?

Balancing is key, but I really don't know if I am “balancing it well” or “not”?. If I'm doing it, all the credit goes to my family and friends. They have been very supportive. But one thing I can say is, setting up meaningful priorities will balance everything

What is the one thing you wish people knew about your profession as you aretheguidingelementintransformingliveswhichmakesitunique?

"IT'S NOT EASY", Yes! I wanted people to know that it's not easy, being a professional fitness coach or instructor is equally or even more challenging than any other profession in the world. We are under constant pressure of providing results, meeting up to client's expectations and the biggest challenge is people won't realise that the outcome of the effort (result) depends on their discipline, not on the trainer, we are the guiding tool. In Spite of providing the best knowledge and service we are often taken for granted. What makes it unique is its highest form of Discipline, Consistent Hard work, helping in transforming lives, Inspiring people to be fit and healthy. All these combined makes our profession unique and a cut above the rest. Always remember, being fit and healthy is the first step to prosperity!

The one motto or mantra that you believe in that keeps you going now that you look back at your journey till this date?

The mantra is "JUST KEEP GOING". It's either going to be a good day or a bad day, but nothing's gonna stop for you. Time just ticks off, it won't wait. So you gotta gather all the courage and keep moving, because nothing is permanent and it applies to every phase/part of your life. My Journey has been Phenomenal, full of ups and downs, just how it is supposed to be I'm very grateful for whatever I am now and going to be.

What is celebrating "International Men's Day"accordingtoyou?

Respecting Women. I personally feel we will be considered as complete gentlemen only when we respect women, love kids and take care of our Mother. This gesture shouldn't be limited to only one day, we must celebrate "International men's day" everyday.

DOCTOR

Whatdoesitmeantobeadoctorandwhoinspiresyou?

Being a doctor is a very noble profession. People around have always had respect for doctors. But especially during the period of covid there was a fear among everyone and more than medical treatment, we doctors gave psychological awareness and strength on how to deal with this pandemic which helped a majority of people to fight with Covid My biggest inspiration in my life is my mom as she is a very hard working lady, with lots of talent , intelligence and a multitasker. She has always been more like a friend to me since my growing years & balanced her love , care & affection for every child of hers which is a rare & unique quality.

Howdoyoubalanceyourworklifeandpersonallife?

As a doctor by profession, me, my brother and sister in law, who are doctors too, split our work and time accordingly as we have our own Clinic especially for the treatment of Skin & hair I am more focused towards the management as they see lots of patients every day. As we are coming up with a super speciality for hair and skin I am focused and busy on that these days. Personally I make sure that I spend good quality time with my two lovely kids who are at their growing stage, along with my wife everyday. We often go out to places like the malls, movies, restaurants & farmhouses during the weekends And I make sure we have a family international trip twice a year that excites my kids a lot and also balances my personal and professional life.

Whatdoyouthinkisthekeyfeaturethatelevateshowuniqueitistobeadoctor?

I feel proud of myself for being called a doctor which makes my profession unique as no matter what there is a common saying “Health is wealth”. I have seen the wealthiest of people fearing and panicking during the pandemic. I used to get so many calls out of fear But now along with respect, they also value them a lot that keeps the profession unique

Theonemottoormantrathatyoubelieveinthatkeepsyougoingnowthatyoulookbackatyourjourneytillthisdate?

The one motto and mantra that I believe that keeps me going smoothly is that I strongly believe in living each day with lots of positivity My children give me joy and happiness and I try to spend as much time as I can with them Looking back at my journey, I feel blessed to have had everything in my life which I had wished and desired for. Beginning from my school days to college days, I have had & still have loads of friends with whom I really had the time of my life. I enjoyed my youth, became a little sober after being married to my lovely and caring wife Now I am enjoying parenthood with my cute kids

Whatiscelebrating"InternationalMen'sDay"accordingtoyou?

Celebrating international men's day is a special day for all the men because I believe that being a good gentleman makes your life complete with giving lots of love and care to your family Taking all the responsibilities with dignity, helping others around you when in need for which you can be proud of and others love you for your qualities and personality which a man should have.

SarathShetty

CelebrityPhotographer

Wheredoyoudrawinspirationfrom?

As creative professionals, our inspiration is drawn from several aspects Passion for the art, light falling on an object or someone, beauty that nature holds around us which enables us to capture and share with the world Talking of inspiration my teacher who taught me the basics of photography, the technical aspects and basically to capture has also been my inspiration in the initial stages of my career, however, as I progressed, where I had the chance and privilege of working, collaborating with various brands and people, associating with creative minds is always inspiring which also allows you to learn a lot along the journey

How challenging is it for you to balance your work life and personallife?

Achieving the right balance between work and personal life is a constant challenge but when you have an understanding and supportive family that clearly gets the intent and what the field demands of you, it helps to create that balance. However, as I ventured into interior designing now it has become all the more challenging yet to prevent burnout, it becomes imperative to take those periodic vacations, leisure and time with family keeps you up and going.

What is the one thing you wish people knew about your professionandwhataccordingtoyoumakesitunique?

When people hire a creative professional, they tend to take the liberty of owning them for the time One needs to understand that we are artists and we need some freedom, time and space to evolve a design and curate the project. And what makes it unique is that if you're in a creative field, where you're in charge of everything from ideation to direction to planning to execution, it is kind of liberating since there is artistic freedom. It's a blend of art and technical skill. The one motto or mantra that you believe in that keeps you goingnowthatyoulookbackatyourjourneytillthisdate?

The motto has always been to be honest with my work and with people around. I'm a firm believer of, what goes around comes around It has worked for me and will continue to integrate honesty with dignity. To characterize my journey so far, I would only say that there have been many unexpected twists and turns that have led to where I am today Looking back to my simple beginnings and my earliest memories, I never thought I would be where I am today. I'm incredibly grateful for my experiences, learnings, and achievements What is celebrating "International Men's Day" according to you?

Well, according to me, raising awareness on the mental health issues men face. The challenging and harmful stereotypes about toxic masculinity and generally supporting the well being of men would be a way to celebrate International Men's Day.

"If you’ve lived anywhere from the mid-90s through to pre-2010, then there’s a good chance that you are acquainted with the likes of Snakes-N-Ladders, and Ludo among the variety of board games that etched such a beautiful when you won, yet frustrating memory when the big snake ate you up and spat you down 7 rows. Particularly, the biggest and most entertaining game on a Sunday afternoon was playing Snakes-N-Ladders with your cousins/parents/siblings or even the neighboring auntie. The memory of this game will always be etched in my memory, with a frooti in one hand, the dice in the other, and the Sunday afternoon sun beaming down on the board, while we sat on the veranda. It used to be a battle between my mom, dad, and my grandma, and somehow, I always ended up winning. But that is the beauty of the early 2000s, it was the simplicity of how everything was before technology took over. I would be lying if I said I don’t miss those days, when the rivalry was of who would complete the board first, rather than having the highest score on candy crush."

ARTSY TOUCH TO YOUR

By Sindhura Repaka

and Contemporary Folk Art by Bhamini Shree

Visual Artist, Art mentor & Writer

Instagram: @bhamini_shree

Bhamini is a self taught visual artist, art mentor, and writer who has been in the world of art and artistic expression for over 15 years and has worked on various forms of art including various Indian folk art like Madhubani, Lippan, and Warli, intricate and ornate mandalas, expression and pop art. She uses art as a medium of thought provocation, normalization, curiosity, and conversations and has taught over 50,000 patrons from across the globe, through direct and collaborative sessions and workshops. When Bhamini observed that folk art is often undervalued, and people seldom observe the thought process, she wanted to take this folk to the market where it's not just about history, but also about the concept, and curation, like any other good work of art. Her first painting was sold when she was shadowing a mentor. In her words, “Identifying art as decor is the first step of devaluing art Art is the visual sensory point, which allows one to feel in a certain way, think beyond the obvious, set the mood in a certain manner, and of course, the other aspects of investment, etc, then emerge. With the increase in social media usage, while the concern about the availability of art for homes is reduced, the concern is the volume of options, often leaving buyers baffled. In my opinion, while making any purchase related to art, one should first check out the options nearby. Not only does it support local, but also reduces transit costs, ultimately benefitting the buyer oneself.”

‘The Fearless’, depicting the faces a woman can take and that all these faces are equally beautiful and acceptable is one of her favorite works.

How can we encourage people to support local artists more?

In general, art is assumed to be an inaccessible genre, which is far from reality. Owing to this, one usually tends to go behind the norm and seldom explores the uniqueness available around. This is one habit that needs to be worked upon. The onus usually falls on the artist to make their works available. The role of galleries is also very important here. During the start of my career as a visual artist, particularly from no formal art education background, this gap was evident and what I experienced is that it's more to do with the mindset of "let the risen rise more" than let there be inclusive growth. We need more galleries, more art stores, more art walks, more workshops, and easy access to the above all.

Watercolour Art by Nithya

Consultant & Watercolour artist

Instagram: @ nithya _ kandalam

If you are looking for framed art pieces for your collage wall or a subtle touch of watercolor landscapes and waterscapes to elevate your space, Nithya has got you covered. This IT Consultant accidentally stumbled across watercolors and her curiosity to learn led to spending a lot of time watching YouTube videos and Skillshare classes. Although since childhood, she was used to pencil sketches, she realized she would get good at painting only once she starts painting. On a random day in the summer of 2017, she saw an Instagram video of an artist painting colorful watercolor leaves and it felt very therapeutic Just to give it a shot, she got some watercolor tubes and started exploring, one thing led to another, and her obsession with painting watercolor landscapes never ended. She believes, Hosting, attending, and creating awareness about various pop ups in the locality, Tagging/sharing the work of artists, giving positive reviews/comments on their social media, and engaging with their content are some small steps to encourage our local artists.

‘Pebbles on the beach’ is one of her favorite pieces. She describes she took her time and painted each pebble with all her heart.

What do you think of people using art as home decor pieces and how would you suggest people do more of it?

Art always adds beauty. One can always choose the type of art that vibes with their personality and have more of those around them. Though large statement pieces are the in thing now, many smaller ones are also great as they can represent the various moods the modern lifestyle presents. In the end, it is all about what appeals to the heart/eyes.

Mandala and Zentangle art by Sruthi Padakanti Architect, Artist & Art director

Instagram: @sheetal.sruthi

If Zen mandalas are your aesthetic, look no further and contact Sruthi Padakanti aka thehyderabadiartist. Sruthi is an architect, and artist and is currently working as an art director. She was introduced to this art style through her architectural journey where she studied its history and the importance of details. Remembering her first selling art piece, she says, “I do remember that moment and it's just so priceless I always had this in the back of my mind The core purpose of being an artist was to have a piece of my artwork exist somewhere on the earth even when the one that made it is no more.” She believes that art should not be made in a set period, under conditions or controls. It’s something that just has to be made at its own pace. She doesn’t want art to be her only way of making money. ‘Intridala’ which was her first artwork to be showcased in the state art gallery amongst great artists throughout India is one of her favorite pieces.

What do you think of people using art as home decor pieces and how can we encourage people to support local artists more?

It's always a great choice to have statement pieces, not just those picked from stores. Having a handmade or unique piece will always add value and make the space look rich and customized. We can encourage local artists by having more art exhibits that will expose people to a lot of new art forms, and more stores and online platforms that help artists put up their works in galleries. Making it a family outing and getting all age groups to a place.

Scribble Art by Harish Bhagavathula

and Development Consultant & Scribble Artist

Instagram: @Mangopenciler2.0

Harish’s scribble arts serve as not unique and valuable art pieces but incredible conversation starters. His art pieces look like just another portrait when seen from a distance but if you look closely, you'll notice that it has been created using seemingly random lines instead of smooth shadings. Though Harish has been drawing portraits since childhood, he was never a big fan of smooth/realistic shadings. His journey into scribble art started when he accidentally stumbled upon the profile of a Malaysian artist named Vince Low. His first selling piece was a Groot sketch which he made for himself and posted on Instagram when someone asked if they could have a copy of it framed. This pleasant surprise became a memorable experience for him. Harish mentions that luckily his livelihood is not dependent on selling art. But he prefers to sell his pieces at flea markets and art exhibitions because it makes him happy to see people own a piece of something he created. His M.S.Subbulakshmi piece is his favorite of all his works. He describes how this piece of his holds the divinity in her face as closely as possible and that too with a minimal amount of lines.

How can we encourage people to support local artists more?

As I said, the feeling of buying artwork from someone you know or can talk to is amazing! It is like purchasing vegetables directly from the hands of the farmer who worked hard in creating them where you also get an opportunity to appreciate them for the same. I think art exhibitions and galleries are great places to encourage this. I know for a fact that people would want to encourage local artists but they don't know where to find them. While social media is a great place for online exposure, in-person events are a great place for the people of the city to meet their artists and make contacts. I realized that their interest to buy art increases when they come and see the works in person and also when they get inspired by the artist they talk to at these events.

Murals by Shreya Varakhedkar Mural Artist

Instagram: @shreyavarakhedkar

Shreya is your one stop destination for breathtaking murals. This versatile artist is into wall art, murals, stage design, installations, customized canvases, and portraits and also takes classes. According to her mom, she started drawing and painting at the age of 4. With constant support from her family, art became a part of her. She always liked to experiment and she believes this quality has taught her a lot. She dropped out in 2nd year of her NIFT course as she realized, she was not really into fashion design. She wanted to explore more. Later in 2016, she and her partner formed a company called Art Gravity. They took up projects ranging from organizing travel camps to making murals, organizing events to arranging stage installations. Currently, they do stage production for the Prism club and kitchen and other freelance projects. Her first sold art piece was when she was 16. Talking about her favorite art piece, she mentions, “I have a lot of art pieces very close to me but one piece I'd like the world to see is one I did in the lockdown about the natural healing when the humans were locked in.”

What do you think of people using art as home decor pieces and how can we encourage people to support local artists more?

Art is self-expression and the beauty inside you can beautify the home better. I feel everyone should have that personal touch in the place they live. These days there are a lot of DIY ( do it yourself) things you find online. But I prefer making art out of waste. One major thing clients do is not pay the entire amount or pay on time. We are all working hard as artists to make a living, the biggest support would be if we got our payments on time, be it any art form. Also, people could choose personalized gifting like portraits or some decor pieces that way we get a lot of small projects and it's not very expensive also.

What do you think of people using art as home decor pieces and how can we encourage people to support local artists more?

I say go ahead and do it. Buy art, support artists, and make it a norm to treat one’s place of existence as sacred. The hanging art of your choice changes the aesthetic and ambiance of a home. Also, I wanted to mention: protesters attacking historical artworks to draw attention to question the rich is pretty diabolical. Most of these artists celebrated died poor and the rich getting richer based on ART is ironic. Buy our art! Lift the ancestral curse! Make artists rich when they're alive! You can support local artists by following their work, by buying if you can afford it, and not bargaining, and most importantly not saying things like "oh I like to paint sometimes too, but not as good as you, didn't choose to take it professionally. haha!

Surreal- Science-ism by Sravya Kothalanka Musician, Artist, Model

Instagram: @ladyskavya

Sravya Kothalanka also called Lady Skavya for her music, has been very magically inclined since a young age. Growing up she was very much into renaissance art. Frida Kahlo was her greatest inspiration, (fun fact: they share the same birthdays and the same subjects for their art themselves) She also mentions that Da Vinci, Dahli, and of course Van Gogh were an influence. ‘Surreal Science-ism’ is a term she coined for what her art is called as it explains it all. This full time artist does a lot of creative things, takes her art very seriously, and says she wouldn’t do anything else for a living. She sold her first original piece when she was 18 and described how accomplished and overwhelmed, she felt. She does people's magical or aura portraits, takes custom orders for conceptual artwork, paints walls, and makes celestial jewelry, which she rather calls ‘body décor’. You can find her art alter ego/brand witchitralu on socials too.

Portraits by Spoorthy Punna

Software engineer & Artist

Instagram: @spoorthy_arts_crafts

Spoorthy’s childhood love for arts and crafts soon turned into a side hustle. Her first sold artwork was a tiny clay key chain. She dreams of one day displaying all her artworks at an exhibition. Mandalas have been her recent obsession amongst other arts including miniatures, crafts, canvas paintings, quilling dolls, and glass paintings. This promising artist believes that people who use art as home décor have a colorful environment and a positive vibe. And that a room that is decorated with natural and real art looks way more attractive rather than a mass produced piece. She sure loves filling up and decorating each part of her home with crafts and art pieces

How can we encourage people to support local artists more?

You can reach out to the group where good professional artists are available, through meetups and gatherings, and art contests. Art exhibitions and Art programs as well. People all around the city will be very much interested to join each of these. I met many people in my life in this way.

If you are looking for a smaller art piece for your side table that is sure to catch an eye, then micro art should definitely be on your list. Karthik is one such micro artist who works with pencil lead carvings. With a zeal to gift something handmade, Karthik stumbled on micro art and after 34 days of learning trial and error, he made his first piece. He now carves sculptures, customized names, and other art on the pencil lead which can serve as a gift or a decoration to elevate your living room tables, shelves, and walls. His first selling art piece was a customized name on a pencil. What started as a zeal to learn this art form soon transformed into a side hustle observing the demand for this artwork in the market He aims to teach his art form and bring awareness to handmade things.

What do you think of people using art as home decor pieces and how can we encourage people to support local artists more?

It feels good to see people nowadays using handmade things as home decor for their living room rather than merely hanging photo frames. The inclusion of different art forms like a mandala, Digital art, illustrations, string art, and micro art is becoming mainstream. We have to encourage people to support local artists by creating awareness about handmade things and products and by showcasing their efforts for doing that. Also, it’s on artists too to create according to the people’s needs if we are expecting our art to be bought and supported.

Invert art and charcoal art by Yashwanth Moguram Student & Artist

Instagram ID: @Yashwanthmogaram

This multidisciplinary artist juggles between various art forms including Charcoal art, Pencil art, Canvas painting, Coffee art, Invert art, DIY crafts, planters and home décor, Mural art, and Miniature paintings Yashwanth has found his canvas to be his best platform to share his emotions and this intrigued him to try our different art forms since childhood. He soon turned into an admirer of Invert art once he understood that art is not only what we can see with our naked eye, but also there are e few kinds of art that need the support of the digital eye as well. His first sold art was a customized charcoal sketch for one of his Instagram followers. This made him think of selling his artwork online. He says this not only helped him make money but also allowed him to explore his artistic side. He believes Art is not only showing the skills on canvas. It is also beautifying the home or public places where pedestrians can walk through and have a look at the artworks with a sense of creativity and meaning to it

How can we encourage people to support local artists more?

As local artists find it difficult to come into the limelight due to the lack of reach of their works to the public, we need to come up with an open art exhibition platform where all the local artists can come and showcase their artworks. This not only adds value to the artists but also encourages the viewers to bring out the creative side within them. We can come up with competitions, workshops, and collaborative arts, which will enable all the local artists to connect and share their knowledge.

If you are looking for elegant yet sophisticated home décor with a human touch, Inaya‘s hand painted cushion covers, table runners, mini customized paintings, and upcycled hand painted light bottles are a perfect fit. Be it digital illustration, erotica, murals, Hand painted fabric (clothing - all genders) handmade & hand painted accessories like a scrunchie, hairband, pouches, hand painted home décor, she does not restrict herself to only canvases. Her first selling art piece was at her first exhibit and by one of her Instagram admirers. Inaya always dreamt of being an artist since a very tender age and back then business/money /sale/art exhibits /exposure was something that kids were unaware of. But one thing she was absolutely sure of was to be an artist and as she got more exposure to things around her, she wanted to create art for a purpose, to inspire people through art. Today, she is a self taught artist, proud founder of RÉBAH by Inaya, and an art teacher and freelance digital illustrator. What do you think of people using art as home decor pieces and how would you suggest people do more of it?

In this modernized lifestyle, we hardly find original art pieces and most of them are just replicas. I don't understand how difficult is it to at least retain the essence of art & craft that our Indian culture is already filled with. I think everyone must own art pieces at least as home decor, creating all by yourself is the best but I understand that not everyone is born creative mind to make art pieces. Hence that obstacles are resolved as well but brands like us who make them.

art by Bindu Reddy

Artist and Creative Writer

ID: @paintings_by_bindu

Though Bindu was drawn to sketching and painting since childhood, she returned to art in 2017 after being diagnosed with clinical depression, as one of her attempts to change her lifestyle Then, with digital art slowly becoming mainstream, she purchased a Wacom and practiced it on Adobe Photoshop for a year before allowing herself to indulge in an iPad, bought out of savings from art commissions. Her first selling piece was a watercolor painting of the village square, which her grandmother purchased for her kitchen wall. She explains that the most favorite pieces of her work are a sketch of her mother and another of her grandmother and her grandfather's sister both in a single frame. She made it for her grandfather when he was very ill to remind him of his sister and wife, who both passed away by then. The way his face lit up when he received it, she expresses is proof of how much power art holds.

I feel we Indians are behind the rest of the world in this. An artwork is a feeling captured and frozen in time, according to the American artist Joan Mitchell. Having an evocation of a bright place or time in the form of a beautiful painting/sculpture as decor might brighten an otherwise fleeting moment in existence where we are less about experiencing living and more about existing. Access to art in everyday living lessens the feeling that existence is all there is to living. Being an artist means that the person prefers to dive into his inner soul and fish out things to do, which are totally complementary to the skills needed to sell those products. When someone facilitates exposure to their art, an artist would greatly benefit.

By Vaishnavi Maloth

Make-up has become an essential part of our daily routines these days whether it is a casual look or a full glam, every occasion and day demands a specific look. Over time, the kind of make-up has evolved and travelled across borders. Following the same routine can be boring after some time and we must switch up our looks once in a while to keep up with the trends and have fun with the process.

Here is a curation of different makeup aesthetics and styles you can try for the next occasion.

It is one of the first styles that pops into one’s head when you say makeup. It is the quintessential look of glamour, class, and high fashion. Glam makeup can either be full glam or soft glam depending on the setting you are going to be in and the occasion. It is characterized by luminous skin, a strong eye with winged liner and fake lashes, defined bold lips, defined brows, and sculpted contour. Full glam focuses on more coverage compared to soft glam which is toned down a little bit. It is the most popular makeup aesthetic people have been relying on for decades. Over time, with more inclination towards skincare and better makeup products, glam makeup has become a much smoother and cleaner look.

No makeup look has been the talk of the town for years now where you enhance your features just enough for them to stand out but also blend in perfectly with your natural skin. Although you’ve applied makeup, it doesn’t look like it. The basic elements of this style of makeup are lighter coverage which is often achieved with BB Creams rather than foundations, rosy cheeks, fuller lashes, glossy lips, and full brows. To have such glowing and fresh makeup it is essential to exfoliate and hydrate regularly.

Essentials: BB Cream, Blush, Mascara, Lip Balm.

The Korean aesthetic has been in vogue these days which is a youthful, radiant, and dewy style. This style prioritizes skincare so that the makeup sits well on the skin. It involves minimal makeup with light coverage and natural eyes with a bit of glam if preferred. Blushes are a must and gradient lips are the classic style which is often achieved with lip tints. A few of the famous Korean brands include 3CE, Clio, and Heimish.

Essentials: Foundation, Blush, Lip Tints, Moisturizer, Eye Shadow.

The usual daily makeup involves simple elements with an accentuated eye with kajal and eyeliner, defined lips, and a little bit of coverage. A hint of blush or highlighter can alleviate this look as well. It is toned down to not much product so that applying it regularly won’t adversely affect your skin too much.

Essentials: Kajal, Eyeliner, Lipstick.

Goth Makeup comprises dark themes with dark colors like black, and brown-green with heavy dramatic graphic eyeliner against a pale skin background. Contrasting features are typically seen in this style like bleached-out brows and vampy red lips. Long false eyelashes add to the intense drama. You can experiment with shades and textures within this look.

Essentials: Foundation, Concealer, Eyeliner, Lipstick, Lashes.

Soft girl makeup, as the name suggests is a pastel, sweet style that focuses on accentuating natural features with a signature element being blush and faux freckles. With an even skin tone, fluffy brows, shimmery popping eyes, long voluminous lashes, and glossy lips, it is more about the finishing touches than the base. Rosy, windswept cheeks are the highlight of this look. This kind of makeup is a sight for sore eyes.

Essentials: Blush, Lip balm, Eye shadow, Lashes.

A desi version of glam makeup, this delves into the glamour of well-defined makeup but with the essentials of Indian beauty standards. Eyes defined with kajal and liner, a bold lip often a deeper shade, defined brows, full lashes, and also a bindi if preferred.

Essentials: Foundation, Eye Shadow, Liner, Kajal, Lipstick, Lashes.

A M ODERNSPINONBLOUSES

By Vaishnavi Maloth

The age-old garment has gone through tremendous changes and proxies to suit the traditional and current fashion game. From solid-colored plain blouses to geometric eccentric designs, blouses play an essential fashion in any woman’s fashion. From waiting days for the tailor to sew the perfect fit to putting on a crop top and wrapping the saree, we’ve all adapted to the evolving times and still manage to put together a great combination of styling. Here are a few ideas about how you can style your sarees with a quirky twist to your blouses and break the customary matching blouse-saree style to fit your style and wardrobe options.

CORSET

A classic combination of a saree with a corset gives your usual styling a touch of elegance mixed with vintage feels. It adds defining structure to your waist giving the saree a beautiful dimension with the perfect balance of framework and fluidity. Shilpa Reddy adorns the alluring golden saree with a harmonizing golden corset as a blouse.

BLAZER

The modern Indian working woman style is fusing the best of both worlds and pairing a saree with a fitting blazer. It perfectly highlights your silhouette, enhancing your shoulders while keeping it traditional. It is one of the best looks for people who love to blend in both western and Indian styles.

Karisma Kapoor pairs a simple duotone saree with a contrasting blazer exuding a powerful stature.

BRALETTE

The delicate duo of a saree and a bralette manifests a mix of a sensuous and chic sense of fashion. It maintains the dainty features of the traditional blouse while simultaneously giving an edge to your outfit. As seen on Tara Sutaria, a simple grey bralette complements the silver sequin saree flawlessly and adds to the vibrancy of the look and it reflects on her mien.

BUSTIER TOP

For a bold yet plain look, pair a bustier top with a saree. A sheer saree will highlight the shape of the bustier top

allowing you to reveal your form enough to feel sexy and confident. This look on Komal Pandey shows how appealing this pairing can be both to wear and to see. She matched a gray bustier top that shows off just enough skin with a sheer saree that is draped effortlessly.

TURTLE NECK

Wearing sarees in winter is a tricky choice. While you want to rock a saree, it is necessary to take in the weather factor and style it accordingly.

One of the most efficient options is a turtle neck shirt that won’t just protect you from the cold but also make a solid fashion statement. Nikhila

Vimal styles a blue saree with a plain black turtle neck that lets the embroidery on the saree and the complementing silver jewelry shine.

SHIRT

Mix-matching fabrics with similar elements of flowy nature like a shirt with a saree are the best option for people who choose comfort over anything. It is a good option for corporate settings. When you are in the mood for a fusion of Indian and Western, you can try this look out.

Divya Boppana styled a cotton saree with a white formal shirt showing how languid this style can look.

SPAGHETTI TOP

Another modern way of draping a saree is with a spaghetti top that presents the outfit with a raw and somber mood. When you wish to wear a saree and don’t have a blouse on standby, you can always count on a spaghetti top to put the look together.

Abhignya Vuthaluru coupled a nude top with a handloom saree transforming the simple look into a striking eye catching one.

BANDEAU TOP

Bandeau tops are a great choice for tropical weather. It alleviates the comfort of the saree and allows the spotlight to shine on your shoulders letting your figure build up the grace of the saree. As you can see on Isha Borah sporting a red bandeau top complementing the red border of the saree.

WORLDDIABETESDAY2022

World Diabetes Day was first observed in 1991 by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) with assistance from the World Health Organization (WHO) in response to mounting worries about the health and financial danger that diabetes poses. In 2006, it was recognised as a UN holiday. This year, November 14 2022, signifies the world diabetes day. The goal of this one day is to increase public awareness of a condition that affects millions of individuals daily throughout the globe. Diabetes essentially refers to a condition in which the body is unable to produce enough of the hormone - insulin to regulate blood glucose levels. There are essentially two types of diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 requires daily artificial insulin supply through injection or insulin pump. Type 2 is often treated with a combination of diet modification and tablet-based medication. There have been significant advancements in this area in recent years, and it is crucial that persons with diabetes keep their condition under good control to help prevent and avoid long-term consequences. To ensure that people with the illness can lead as normal a life as possible, it is imperative that development work continues. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) will be participating in organizing activities on the day.

The prevalence of diabetes and the myths and misconceptions associated with it are both rising globally. Few of the common fallacies are busted here

MYTH 1 - SUGAR INTAKE RESULTS IN DIABETES.

MYTH 2 - SUGAR IS OFF-LIMITS TO THOSE WITH DIABETES. FALSE!

Diabetes is not directly caused by sugar consumption. An excessively sugary diet, however, can result in obesity and being overweight, which are risk factors for type 2 diabetes. This is a widespread misconception, which makes sense given that blood sugar levels are crucial in the development of diabetes. However, sugar itself does not causeanything.

MYTH 4DIABETES IS NOT A SERIOUS DISEASE

Perhaps due to its ubiquity, some individuals think that diabetes is not a serious illness. That is untrue. Diabetes has no known treatment, and if it is not properly controlled, it can lead to a number of complications. Heart disease, nerve damage, renal damage, blindness, skin disorders, and hearing loss are among the complications.

FALSE!

Those who have diabetes must undoubtedlywatchtheircarbohydrate intake and carefully control their diets. To keep their blood sugar levels regulated, people with diabetes need to carefully plan what and when they will eat. Another misconception is that individuals with diabetes must consume particular "diabetic-friendly" foods. Many of these items are more expensive, and some of them still causeglucoselevelstorise.

MYTH 5 - DIABETES PREVENTS PEOPLE FROM BEING ACTIVE

In actuality, exercise is a crucial part of managing diabetes. Exercise reduces blood pressure and aids in weight loss, both of which are risk factors for problems. It may also improve how well the body uses insulin.

MYTH 3 - CERTAIN NATURAL REMEDIES CAN TREAT DIABETES

There is currently no treatment for diabetes. It is untrue to say that a product can cure diabetes. Numerous herbal or natural products are ineffective or downright harmful in somesituations.
