The Tyger Tyger! Tyger! burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry? In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand dare seize the fire? And what shoulder, and what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand? and what dread feet?... Tyger! Tyger! burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye, Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

It is said that in the 13th century, a sage named Narahari Thirtha started Dashavathara performance in Udupi, which is today called Yakshagana. Along with the use of elaborative headgears and narrative humour by antics of the

clown called the ‘Hasyagar’, the theatre form has poetic songs sung by the chief musician known as the ’Bhagvata’. The chief musician controls the narrative of the play with background music played by a group of musicians known as ‘Himmela’. The ensemble of Yakshagana consists of minimum 15 people with men playing both male and female characters. Earlier, the performances were staged in the open air and today, they are performed in the compound of a temple. With stage design and unique rendering similar to the Western Opera, the folk theatre form is gaining steady popularity outside India.

Blissful Nature A visit to Karnataka is not just about exploring its heritage and architecture, the state is also home to various adventure activities and is a paradise for nature and wildlife lovers. Coorg: The Scotland of India Officially known as Kodagu, the hill station is popular for the breathtaking scenery and the adventure activities for the tourists. Not only famous for the spice and coffee plantations, the place also gives a chance to explore wildlife, experience treks, admire the falls and give adrenaline a boost with various activities. Located 4kms from the heart of the city, Abbey falls provides a mesmerising view of the cascading water which joins the Kaveri river. They were earlier called the Jessie
falls by the Britishers in memory of the daughter of the town’s first captain. One can also catch a glimpse of coffee and cardamom plantation on the way to the falls. One of the best known wildlife reserves of India, the Nagarhole National Park offers a diversity of flora and fauna. The park boasts of almost 270 species of birds and wildlife enthusiasts can also spot tiger, Indian bison, Asian elephants, Russell’s viper and Indian rock python here.

lovers. One can experience the thrill by white water rafting in Kithu-Kakkatu River in Upper Barapole. As the water gushes through the water, the rafters experience fascinating rapids like Morning Coffee, Grass Hopper, Ramba Samba, Wicked Witch and Big Bang. A jump in the water mid-way is sure to make for a memorable experience. A trek through the lush green forests and numerous small streams and rivers is a must when you visit Coorg. The trek to the Brahmagiri Wildlife Sanctuary gives a peak in to the rich diversity of wildlife. Iruppu falls in the Bramhagiri mountain range are a major tourist attraction. The falls are considered scared by the locals because of the legend associated with it. People believe that Lord Rama and Lakshman passed along the Brahmagiri range while searching goddess Sita. It is said that Lakshman shot an arrow into the Brahmagiri hills and brought the river Lakshmana Tirtha into being. Hence, the falls are believed to possess the power to cleanse sins.

Rediscovering India’s Tradition of
Bespoke Luxury
The first time the word ‘bespoke’ or ‘bespeak’ was used, was way back in 1607 in medieval Britain. For years since then, it was used for tailor-made suits and now for watches. Words: Gaurav Mehta
S
omewhere in the 1800s, the term came to be associated with customised shoes in Italy. By early 1900, bespoke was used for everything customised and made-to-order. Bespoke is an extension of our personality. It reflects our choices – from the way we dress and the togs we dress in, to the jewellery, watches and bags that we flaunt, to even

the customised furniture in our homes. India has a lush history of bespoke. And we aren’t talking about the elite or royalty here. Ancient Indians knew only bespoke; nothing was massproduced. Their unstitched garments were handwoven; their jewellery was made not just to ‘order’, but even in keeping with a client’s budget.
Royalty & Bespoke Trend Indian royalty perfected the art of bespoke luxury; they were the biggest patrons of bespoke. The Patiala Necklace, created by the House of Cartier in 1928

for Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala, was studded with Burmese rubies and 2,930 pieces of diamonds, including what was then the world’s seventhlargest diamond, the ‘De Beers’ diamond, which weighs 428-carat pre-cut. The way it caught the light and gleamed was said to be mesmerising. Maharaja Ranjit Singh Gaekwad, the Maharajah of Baroda, was known for his love for custom-made Bentleys and Rolls Royce. He followed the footsteps of his father Maharaja Pratapsinghrao Gaekwad, who brought the young Maharaja Ranjit Singh a toy train with a
steam engine, which was a madeto-scale model of the Flying Scotsman. The stories of bespoke opulence in India are unmatched. Mahbub Ali Khan, Nizam VI of Hyderabad, said to be the wealthiest man in the world, ordered a bright yellow colour Rolls Royce Silver Ghosh Dome Roof, in 1911, which is still in the possession of his descendants. Maharani Suniti Devi of Cooch Behar had a gorgeous white satin gown, made by a French dressmaker, at the coronation of King Edward II in 1902. In Rajasthan, the royalty was fabled for their love for

luxury and flamboyant lifestyle. Maharaja of Jodhpur’s love for bespoke vintage cars – a series of magnificent Rolls-Royce, 1939 Cadillac open convertibles, rare Mercedes models, 1936 Vauxhall and 1937 Opel models were part of his collection; JaegerLeCoultre's legendary watch model — the Reverso, created to celebrate Jodhpur’s heritage of polo; Maharani Gayatri Devi’s natural pearl and diamond necklace, crafted to perfection by Cartier to the Udaipur Maharanas' penchant for bespoke crystal from Baccarat and Christofle. Many aristocratic families also owned bespoke weaves. One of the most fascinating stories ever heard is of Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh Ji, the Maharaja of Jaipur, who got silversmiths to craft enormous silver urns in which he carried 8000 litres of water from the Ganga on his trip to London!
QUICK Facts Wrist watches became popular among men during World War I. During warfare, men preferred wearing watches on their wrists rather than on a chain around their neck. This made it easier to tell the time without moving their hand.
Bespoke Watches The world of watches and bespoke are intensely intertwined. The royal families of Jaipur, Udaipur and Jodhpur had, and continue to possess, a legendary collection of beautiful bespoke watches from marquee watch brands such as JLC, Rolex and Patek Philippe. Bespoke watches have been a mainstay of the Indian horology industry for over a century. Among some of the famous bespoke watches created is a Patek Philippe watch for the Maharaja of Jodhpur,

who wore it while playing polo; it was auctioned by Christie’s for a staggering $2,204, 714, a few years ago. There is the striking Rolex Submariner created for Robert Redford. Most watchmakers customise watches for their discerning client. Rolex, for instance, offers a host of customisation – from the
simple to the complex. The simple practice of swapping a metal bracelet for a leather or rubber strap has a massive effect on the overall aesthetic of a watch. At the other end of the scale, there are entities who ask Rolex to brand a whole new model and reshape it to look like a sought-after vintage grail piece. With Jaipur Watch Company, there is immense potential for bespoke. From something as simple as customised straps to an accessory as complex as bespoke dials, the brand does quite a bit of customisation. Indians are very close to their spiritual and religious beliefs and bespoke allows us to cater to their emotional connect with their beliefs. For instance, the brand made watches with Lord Hanuman and Lord Ganesh engravings. I remember working on a watch for a client who wanted an inscription in the Kufic script on a dial. The Kufic script is the oldest calligraphic form of the various Arabic scripts and was developed in 7th century Kufa, Iraq; it was believed that the Quran was written in the Kufic script. The script is now extinct and very few people know it. I had to put in the research to understand the script and get the work done. There aren’t many Indian brands who will not just offer the kind of craftsmanship in watchmaking that international brands offer, but also offer Indians to explore their emotional

Revathi, credited with starting Asia’s first women taxi service, Forsche, in 2007 is known today for revolutionising the logistics sector by opening it for women through her logistics start-up Hey Dee Dee. This start up skills the urban poor women as two-wheeler and four-wheeler drivers, assists them in procuring two-wheeler loans and employs them as last mile parcel delivery agents for major e-commerce companies. Most of the captivating stories are ‘rags to riches’ stories while her story is a ‘riches to rags to revolution’ story. Revathi had a privileged childhood as she was born to a journalist father who ran a unique research journal ‘Rubber News’ which played a pivotal role in the business of the rubber industry. Marrying her college sweetheart, Siddhartha, she had

Her Journey Destiny started revealing her future plans as her husband’s health began to turn fragile with a coronary artery surgery in 2000.

Out on bail, Revathi decided to skill such poor urban women by teaching them how to drive and employing them as commercial drivers into her first women cab service, Forsche, run by women and for women. It started in January 2006 and her husband lost his battle with coma in the same month. Rabble rouser Revathi persisted, drove a cab herself on Mumbai roads for ten months and Forsche soon caught attention of media and public. It not only improved the lives of hundreds of poor women but also offered a comfortable and reliable mode of transportation to women in
Mumbai. A multinational auto infrastructure company entered into a strategic tie-up with her company but she soon exited the staid corporate environment. In 2016, Revathi, after closely watching the growth prospects of Indian Logistics industry, entered the logistics segment. On March 8, 2016, she launched Hey Dee Dee, her venture to mobilise urban poor women, to skill them as twowheeler drivers and then employ them into last mile parcel delivery service. Hey Dee Dee has opened its franchises in more than 25 cities, empowering more and more women every day.
