Indian weaves and sarees are not merely garments. They reflect the culture, customs, longstanding traditions, and thousands of years of craftsmanship and art. Hand-woven sarees in particular are a true labour of love; with some taking up to three days, or more, to make. One of the most versatile and elegant garments in the world, sarees used to be, and still are the most common daily wear for women in our country. They can be worn at the workplace, business conferences, family functions and everywhere else you can think of. This week in Feature Story, we talk about how the textile industry struggles to cope with the dip in its business due to Covid. We also chat with eight elegant women in the city who define their style essentials and share their wardrobe chronicles.
In People in Focus, we have Prasoon and Prashant Trivedi, , two young men working with a city-based infrastructure company involved in water, energy and environment sustainability.
According to experts, one in five women can suffer from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS, which means there may be several women around you at the risk of problems ranging from menstrual irregularities to complications in pregnancy. Read our Mind & Body as we list down some tips to battle the condition.
Last but not the least, in Grand Getaways, we join wedding planner Sipika Khandelwal and her friends on their rather eclectic trip to Jammu and Kashmir.
