Dear Readers,
We launched the very first edition of You & I with Shalini Bhupal. She is not just a passionate and accomplished businesswoman, but one of the most stylish and classiest, yet humble ladies, I know. She had faith in You & I from our inception, and for us, she is truly a lucky cover girl. After 11 years she is back again to grace our Mother’s Day cover with her beautiful daughter Shriya Bhupal, who is also a well known fashion designer. Both women have proven that influence in running a business lies not only in the wallet, but in the mastering of business competencies. Turn to the Cover Story to find out more about this mother-daughter duo.
The bond between mothers and their children is inexplicable. From the moment you grab onto her finger to guiding you through difficult times, a mother is the strongest support any child could ask for. Though they say one doesn't need a special day to celebrate motherhood, why miss an occasion to make your mother feel special?! This year is extra special, as it coincides with Akshaya Tritiya! Hence, we celebrate Akshaya Tritiya and Mother’s Day with the same traditions, rituals, and festive spirit, but with a contemporary and modern twist in the Feature Story this week!
On the auspicious day of Akshaya Tritiya, buying gold marks a beginning of good-luck and success in one's life. To mark this golden day, we talk to the owners of Mangatrai Neeraj about the business, the brand, and what sets them apart in an increasingly crowded field.
The mother-child bond is something very special, so we also have
a few more great Moms featured in the story. In our In the Spotlight,
we have an experienced gynaecology laparoscopy surgeon,
Dr Lakshmi Rathna – again a great mother.
Check out Mind & Body, where we tell you more about jewellery and how wearing that can provide actual health benefits. Turn to
Grand Getaways and join Meghna Dundi as she talks about her holiday to Netherlands and Spain with her husband Ashwin.
And tell us what you think. If you have any suggestions, comments or queries, please e-mail me at publisher@you-and-i.com.
