Each piece is thoughtfully crafted with meticulous attention to detail, blending sleek, refined forms with that irresistible Italian touch that feels both timeless and strikingly fresh.

Lovera invites women everywhere to begin their Love Era, a chapter where style becomes a form of poetry, and dressing transforms into an intimate expression of self. With Endless Amore, Anjulee Agrawal introduces not just a brand, but a feeling: love woven into fabric, passion sculpted into form, and romance sewn into every seam.

Anjulee Agrawal, Founder of Lovera, says:
“Lovera was born from my desire to create pieces that feel like poetry in motion, garments that celebrate a woman’s elegance, her fire, and the beautiful duality of her strength and softness. I want every woman to love herself, be completely self-obsessed. Designing this collection in Italy allowed me to infuse every silhouette with the soul of romance and the discipline of true craftsmanship. Endless Amore is not just a debut; it is an emotion, a promise, and the beginning of every woman’s Love Era”

New Delhi [India], December 5:  StoneX Global, one of the leading global brands in natural stone, is participating in the second edition of Maison&ObjetIntérieurs Hong Kong, taking place from 3–6 December 2025 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC).

As part of this milestone event, architect Aparna Kaushik – who represents India among six international architects – has been invited to create a design showcase featuring commissioned artworks by R. Magesh and Yogesh Ramkrishna, presented by StoneX Global. Together, they reflect the brand’s mission to position natural stone as both material and muse.

“Our participation at Maison&ObjetIntérieurs Hong Kong2025 reaffirms StoneX’s commitment to bringing art and architecture into meaningful dialogue,” said Mr Sushant Pathak, Chief Marketing Officer, StoneX Global. “Through Aparna’s vision and the remarkable works of Magesh and Yogesh, we are celebrating stone as a timeless witness to human imagination – crafted, felt, and remembered.” 

Mr Philippe Delhomme, President of the Executive Board of Maison&Objet, said,“Maison&ObjetIntérieurs Hong Kong is pleased to welcome StoneX Global to the 2025 edition. Their collaboration with architect Aparna Kaushik—India’s sole selected architect this year—demonstrates an exceptional synthesis of design, craftsmanship, and cultural expression. The showcased works by Indian Artists R. Magesh and Yogesh Ramkrishna further highlight StoneX’s commitment to elevating natural stone as a medium of artistic and architectural significance. We are honoured to host this distinguished presentation on our global stage.”

StoneX at Maison&Objet: A Dialogue of Art and Architecture

StoneX Global will present two marble sculptures – The Monarch by R. Magesh and Shikhara by Yogesh Ramkrishna – within a bespoke environment designed by Aparna Kaushik, whose architectural language is timeless, structured, and deeply sensorial. Her spatial design creates a contemplative atmosphere where light, form, and material interact in harmony.

R. Magesh’s The Monarch, carved in Grigio Bronze Amani, reimagines the horse – his recurring motif – as a symbol of strength and restraint. Poised yet tethered, it transforms Turkish marble into a meditation on power, vulnerability, and duality.

Yogesh Ramkrishna’s Shikhara, sculpted from Bianco Vogue marble sourced from Greece, merges the silhouettes of temple shikharas and mosque domes. The work stands as an allegory of shared history and cultural confluence, illustrating how stone holds memory across civilisations.

Together, the two works articulate StoneX’s belief that when craftsmanship meets consciousness, material becomes meaning.

A Global Stage for Indian Design

This showcase marks a significant moment for Indian design and artistic collaboration on an international platform. Aparna Kaushik joins leading architects from Paris, Dubai, Shanghai, and Seoul, positioning New Delhi among the world’s influential design capitals.

“Being chosen to represent India at this year’s prestigious Maison&ObjetIntérieurs Hong Kong 2025 is a profound honour,” said Aparna Kaushik. “As the only Indian architect selected, I’m deeply humbled to showcase the richness of Indian art and culture on a global stage. I’m not just representing my own work—I’m echoing the dedication, passion, and lifelong contributions of countless Indian artisans, designers, and architects who have shaped our cultural legacy.

My collaboration with StoneX Global allowed me to craft a space that is both architectural and deeply emotional—where stone transforms into story, and story into experience. My work carries with it an inspiring narrative of India’s heritage, craftsmanship, and timeless design.”

About the Artists

R. Magesh (b. 1987, Tamil Nadu) explores memory, history, and identity through painting and sculpture. His works merge classical form with contemporary narrative, often using symbolic animal forms to reflect on strength, morality, and vulnerability.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 3: Life often brings moments when a person either breaks down or rises again with a new identity and greater strength. The story of Subramaniian Kriishnaswamy (fondly known as Subbu) is a shining example of courage and self-belief.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhlwTSgp02A]

For 34 years, he built a respected and stable career in the pharma and logistics industries. Hard work, integrity, and leadership were the three pillars of his identity. But in 2018, fate suddenly took a harsh turn. Under a conspiracy, false allegations were made against him, and he lost his job. Not just his job—his reputation and several relationships also began to crumble.

This was a phase that shook Subbu from within. For almost 15 months, he endured unemployment and the pain of humiliation. A weaker mind might have broken, but Subbu chose to transform this dark period into an opportunity for self-growth.

He began a journey of understanding his mind, body, and soul. He deeply studied various occult sciences—graphology, reiki, numerology, tarot, astrology, and vastu. He first applied these practices to himself, balanced his energies, discovered his hidden potential, and slowly healed from within.

When his inner light awakened, he began spreading that light into the lives of others. His own pain helped him understand the suffering of others. By the end of 2019, his life once again found the right direction.

Today, Subramaniian Kriishnaswamy is not just a spiritual healer, but a source of inspiration for thousands. He helps people find direction, hope, and confidence in life. His journey reminds us that sometimes the darkest moments lead us to discover our true inner light.

Subbu’s story teaches us that no matter how big the crisis is, it can be turned into an opportunity with determination and a positive approach.

His message is simple and powerful: “No matter how much life pushes you down, if you do not give up, rising again and shining again is inevitable.”

This journey from crisis to resolve is an inspiration for anyone who has ever felt broken.

Rising Again After a Fall

Until January 2018, everything was perfect—19 years in India, 14 years abroad, a brilliant career, high-profile positions, a great salary, and a peaceful family life. But an internal conspiracy destroyed everything. False accusations, humiliation, and a forced resignation. For the next 15 months, he couldn’t find a job despite endless effort. Financial stress, social criticism, and strain in relationships—all came crashing together.

During this time, Subbu adopted one powerful truth:

“The one thing you cannot recycle is wasted time.”

So, instead of grieving, he kept himself busy studying occult sciences. Graphology, reiki, numerology, face reading, tarot, palmistry, astrology, vastu, mindfulness, positive thinking—he learned one subject after another. He experimented on himself first, and then began helping others.

A New Beginning

December 2019 brought a miracle. He found the right mentors, the right people, and life turned around—this time in the right direction. The communication skills, decision-making abilities, honesty, and presence of mind he honed in his corporate life now became the tools to heal others.

Today, Subbu brings new hope into the lives of thousands through spiritual healing. He says,

“I understand their pain because I have been through it myself.”

The Subbu of Today

Today, Subramaniian Kriishnaswamy is a happy, content, and energetic human being. He believes that the world is larger than the mind, and the heart is a deep mystery. He surrenders to that divine force that protects him. The last lines of his poem summarize his life philosophy:

“I may stumble, but I will fight back with all my strength, because I have never given up, and never will…”

Subbu’s story teaches us that even when life throws you to the lowest point, if you don’t give up, a new dawn always arrives. He is living proof that true strength is not in never falling, but in rising again with persistence.

Have you ever fallen and risen again? Subbu’s journey will surely inspire you.

“Hail to the journey of life.”

New Delhi [India], December 2: After 10 years of planning and 5 years of waiting for official trademark registration, Delhi Fashion Week 2025 – Season 1 finally debuted in a historic and long-awaited launch at YMCA Tourist Hotel, Connaught Place. Organised by Delhi Fashion Club in association with VOY Media & Events, the event was backed by two major national institutions — Footwear Design and Development Institute (FDDI), under the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India, and the NIFT Foundation for Design Innovation (NFDI). The celebration was further supported by Meghalaya Tourism, Government of Meghalaya, reinforcing Northeast India’s growing significance in the national creative ecosystem.

With over 18 years of industry experience, Harshit has long envisioned a platform that provides high-value branding, recognition, and industry exposure at an affordable cost — enabling startups, aspiring models, and emerging designers to evolve into strong brands. For him, Delhi Fashion Week represents a revolution rather than just a production, designed to democratize fashion opportunities for young Indian talent. During the event, he launched the International Delhi Fashion Awards (IDFA), honouring more than 30 artists, designers, influencers, NGOs, handloom contributors, and fashion associations for their outstanding cultural and creative impact.

Their collections in Eri Silk and Mulberry Silk celebrated the soulful identity of Meghalaya’s weaving traditions.

During DFW, Event witnessed Delhi Fashion Summit – Season 1, which welcomed artisans, entrepreneurs, and leaders for vital discussions on sustainability, handloom startups, women’s empowerment, and tribal weaving communities. Meghalaya’s grassroots weavers shared moving testimonies about the role of weaving in transforming rural livelihoods.

The FDDI Naari Shakti Show honoured powerful women across age groups, with mature women confidently taking the runway to promote inclusivity. Kamari by Kajal Verma added glamour with her elegant gown collection.

A major attraction was the Viksit Bharat Sutra – Khadi Showcase, led by Celebrity Designer Rosy Ahluwalia, followed by a modern fusion-Khadi line by FDDI’s designer team.

The highly anticipated International Reinvent Northeast Showcase highlighted the cultural depth of Northeast India. The segment featured the Bodoland Handloom presentation by Anita Daimari and Laijou Brahma, whose authentic Bodo motifs, intricate patterns, and traditional silhouettes celebrated Bodoland’s textile lineage with pride.

This was followed by the Meghalaya Grand Showcase, presented during the International Reinvent Northeast segment and sponsored by Meghalaya Tourism, Government of Meghalaya. The showcase opened with a soulful live performance by the SKUBO Band, led by Peter from Garo Hills. The runway then featured Garo handloom ensembles by Lakme Marak and her team Ernieford, followed by the Khasi & Jaintia Eri Silk line by Iaishah Rymbai (Eri Weave). The segment concluded powerfully with International Fitness Icon Annu Marbaniang as the showstopper, leaving the audience captivated.

The Pre-Finale showcased a dramatic couture line by Celebrity Designer Ashfaque Ahmad, featuring intricate handwork and regal silhouettes. The Grand Finale, presented by the NIFT Foundation for Design Innovation (Bhasha Bharat), showcased exquisite Bhagalpur Silk Sarees. Mrs. Universe Oceania 2025, Archana Niranjan, graced the runway as the finale showstopper.

In his closing address, Harshit Dhingaun reaffirmed Delhi Fashion Week’s mission of strengthening Indian handloom, promoting artisan livelihoods, empowering women creators, and supporting India’s fashion economy aligned with Vocal for Local, Skill India, Atmanirbhar Bharat, Digital India, and the national vision of Viksit Bharat.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 2:  The energy of Andheri’s social circuit has officially shifted with the launch of AAOMI, a sweeping lifestyle and dining concept that promises to become the next big Andheri nightlife destination. Located on the 2nd Floor of Gopi Chamber, off Link Road in Oshiwara, the brand-new venue is the latest creation of hospitality visionary Navin Agrawal, who has consistently shaped Mumbai’s entertainment scene with iconic concepts across the city.

A Glamorous Night Filled With Familiar Faces

The grand opening evening saw a vibrant mix of personalities arriving to celebrate—Prabodh Davkhare, Arshi Khan, Ruhi Chaturvedi, Ken Fern, Rohit Verma, Rehan Shah, Monika K Meena, Deepshika Nagpal, Ravi Behl, Mohit Kapoor, Maryam Zakaria, Vikas Verma, Shweta Pandit, Kirti Choudhary, Sonia Birjee, Claudia Ciesla and many more. Their presence added a festive buzz as guests took in the scale and creative spirit of the venue.

Though the celebrity turnout made headlines, AAOMI’s real talking point was its immersive atmosphere—an aesthetic and experiential leap for the neighbourhood.

A Bohemian Dream Brought to Life

With more than 8,000 sq. ft. of artistic expression, AAOMI now stands as the largest lifestyle venue in the Andheri region. Designed by Godai Arts, the concept is rooted in bohemian sensibilities, interpreted through an earthy palette, tactile surfaces and an unmistakable warmth that greets guests the moment they enter.

The 3,500 sq. ft. indoor dining space and 4,500 sq. ft. terrace together create a beautifully layered environment. Natural materials, stone-inspired finishes, rustic textures and biophilic accents lend the space a grounded, soulful vibe. Thoughtfully placed African art pieces and hand-carved wooden artefacts add narrative depth, while sculptural decor creates visual rhythm across the venue.

Modern lamps, soft shadows and contemporary furniture balance the artisanal elements, resulting in an interior that feels earthy yet refined—an ideal canvas for Andheri’s evolving social landscape.

Meet the Pout Baby: AAOMI’s Playful Spirit

While the design stays rooted in elegance, AAOMI introduces a touch of whimsy with its quirky Pout Baby mascot. Playful, expressive and instantly memorable, the mascot embodies the personality of the venue—fun, spirited and unapologetically bold. Its presence subtly reminds guests that at AAOMI, every evening is to be lived with an uninhibited sense of joy.

A Vision to Transform Andheri’s Social Culture

The idea behind AAOMI goes beyond dining or nightlife—it’s about creating a cultural space where community, creativity and indulgence meet. “AAOMI is an emotion,” shares founder Navin Agrawal, whose portfolio includes celebrated establishments such as Dragonfly Mumbai, Shiloh Mumbai, Lord of the Drinks, Not Just Tamasha and Iguana Worli.

He adds, “We wanted to give Andheri an experience it hasn’t seen before. A space where global flavours, inspired cocktails and high-energy evenings blend seamlessly. The terrace, the scale, the design—everything was built to craft memories. From handcrafted cocktails to bold culinary expressions, AAOMI is a canvas of stories, moments and energy.”

A Beverage Program That Steps Into the Spotlight

One of AAOMI’s strongest pillars is its signature cocktail menu—crafted, layered and unapologetically inventive. Each drink is designed to spark curiosity while offering comfort in flavour.

Must-try beverages include:

• French75 Fall-Esque

• Carrot Cake Whiskey Sour

• Miso Punch Picante

• Olive Oil Gin Sour

• Gochujang Martinez

These drinks reflect AAOMI’s mixology philosophy: unexpected elements, global influences and flavour-forward creations that complement both the ambience and the food.

A Culinary Experience Crafted to Impress

AAOMI’s menu is an exploration of global flavours interpreted with contemporary finesse. Guests can indulge in dishes that balance innovation with comfort, such as:

• Paneer Dori Kebab

• Beetroot & Goat Cheese Galouti

• Goat Cheese Stuffed Peppers

• AAOMI Caramelized Hummus

• Rajwadi Chicken Tikka

• Mutton Dori Kebab

• Chettinad Prawns

Each dish carries a distinct flavour profile, prepared to match the venue’s artistic aesthetic. And for dessert lovers, the Mixed Berry Chocolate Tower delivers the perfect finishing touch—a visual spectacle that tastes as indulgent as it looks.

Where Andheri Comes Alive

AAOMI is more than a new address—it’s a transformative addition to the city’s cultural map. With its sweeping terraces, bohemian artistry, bold culinary expression and vibrant musical energy, the venue is poised to become a landmark Andheri nightlife destination.

It brings together friends, families, travellers, food lovers and party-goers under one roof, weaving a space where moments naturally turn into memories.

With this launch, Andheri has gained not just another venue, but a place where people can reconnect, celebrate and discover a side of Mumbai that feels both global and deeply personal.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 2: The Fern Mumbai, Goregaon | Series by Marriott has introduced a striking new culinary landmark with the launch of Beiruna, a rooftop destination that presents Middle Eastern artistry through design, hospitality and flavour. The opening night welcomed celebrated personalities, but the true star of the evening was the restaurant’s immersive atmosphere—one that promises to shape the future of Middle Eastern dining in Mumbai with charm and sophistication.

A Star-Studded Opening Night

The grand launch drew an eclectic mix of television favourites and digital icons, including Karan Wahi, Krystle D’souza, Shivam Khajuria, Rithvik Dhanjani, Anjali Anand, Yashvisha Shah, Shweta Sharda and many more. Their presence added a celebratory spark, complementing the warmth and cultural richness that Beiruna has been designed to offer.

Yet, despite the glamour, the event’s focus never drifted from the thoughtfully curated space—one that blends contemporary finesse with the quiet luxury associated with Middle Eastern hospitality.

A Rooftop Escape Between Forest and City

Beiruna’s location is one of its most compelling features. Perched above Goregaon, the rooftop offers contrasting views that shape its identity. On one side lies the serene green expanse of Aarey Colony—a gentle reminder of nature’s calm. On the other, Mumbai’s dynamic skyline pulses with energy.

As dusk settles, lanterns glow in soft amber hues and the terrace takes on a dreamlike warmth. This interplay of light, height and open sky makes Beiruna a place where the city fades just enough for guests to savour their moment of pause. It’s a rare, scenic balance that elevates the dining experience beyond the plate.

Design Rooted in Warm Minimalism

Mr. Arindam Sarkar, General Manager of The Fern Goregaon Mumbai | Series by Marriott, describes Beiruna as “an expression of understated opulence.” His vision translates into a space that embraces clean architectural geometry, soft shadows and neutral tones.

Subtle metallic touches nod to regional crafts, while geometric motifs reflect timeless Middle Eastern design. A sculptural, softly illuminated bar anchors the terrace, creating a focal point that ties the space together. Bespoke furniture sourced from France adds a layer of refined comfort, ensuring the ambience remains welcoming, elevated and timeless.

Culinary Excellence Shaped by Expat Chefs

The soul of Beiruna lies in its food. Led by an expert team of expat chefs, the culinary program highlights Lebanese flavours through authentic marination techniques, fire-grilling traditions and slow-cooked preparations that honour generations of knowledge.

Signature dishes such as Avocado Manakish, Kastaleta Ghanam, Rubiyan Mashwi and Lamb Ouzi Rice showcase a commitment to authenticity. For dessert, classics like Mohallabia and Umm Ali offer a gentle, nostalgic finish—each plated with elegance suited to contemporary tastes.

These dishes serve as a reminder that true Middle Eastern dining Mumbai is not just about flavour, but also about craftsmanship and memory.

A Beverage Program Inspired by Dubai’s Creativity

Complementing the cuisine is a refreshingly inventive beverage menu shaped by Dubai’s acclaimed mocktail culture. Here, aromatics and creative pairings take centre stage.

Guests can choose from options like Mandarian Star, Cucumber Fizz, Berry Blast, Queen Green, Jalapeño Guava Grass and Oh Berry. Each blend is crafted to enhance the food while adding moments of playful discovery. This approach makes the beverages an integral part of the Beiruna experience rather than an afterthought.

Leadership Driven by Passion and Purpose

For Executive Chef Gaurav Madan, Beiruna represents “a soulful celebration of Middle Eastern cuisine and lifestyle.” His focus on warmth, bold flavours and rooftop ambience has shaped a menu designed for memorable evenings.

Director Faisal Balwa echoes this sentiment, describing the launch as a milestone in bringing globally inspired dining concepts to India. His emphasis on curated, purposeful experiences is reflected in every detail—from menu development to ambience and guest engagement.

A New Destination for Mumbai’s Culinary Discoveries

What sets Beiruna apart is its harmony of food, mood and design. The restaurant is not just a venue, but an invitation—to unwind, to savour, and to experience the Middle East with intention.

Whether guests arrive for its glowing skyline views, its fire-grilled delicacies, or its contemporary interpretation of Lebanese hospitality, Beiruna delivers an experience that feels both rooted and refreshing. With the doors now open, Mumbai’s dining community has a new destination poised to become one of its most cherished additions.

For anyone seeking an elevated and immersive encounter with Middle Eastern dining Mumbai, Beiruna stands ready to welcome them atop the city’s changing skyline.

New Delhi [India], December 1: Born on 26 June 1999 in Jaipur, Rajasthan, Shubhankit Sharma is an emerging name in music, entrepreneurship, and social upliftment. His journey is a powerful example of how early struggles shape extraordinary discipline. Starting work at the young age of 16, he learned responsibility far earlier than most people his age, taking on multiple jobs, exploring different industries, and pushing himself to grow without shortcuts.

His early years were marked by hustle – balancing work, learning, and dreaming bigger than his circumstances. These experiences became the foundation of his resilience, something that later defined the “case of Shubhankit Sharma,” often talked about today: a case not of controversy, but of a young man refusing to stop moving forward despite challenges, misunderstandings, or pressures around him. Those who know him closely describe him as calm, direct, and extremely clear in his purpose.

As his career evolved, Shubhankit shifted his focus toward Dubai, where he entered a new chapter — combining business with creativity. While building himself professionally in the UAE, he continued nurturing his passion for music. He released music videos like Dynamite, Khwaab, and Dakshin Dilli, where he wrote the lyrics, sang, and featured in them, directed by renowned director Dinesh Sudarshan Soi, all released under music label DS Creations Music. He has also worked with well-known artist KING, giving him recognition as an independent artist with a growing audience.

Alongside music and business, Shubhankit felt a strong desire to contribute to society. This led to the creation of The Shubhankit Foundation, a growing social initiative supporting education, healthcare assistance, food distribution, and youth welfare across Jaipur and Bangalore. His foundation has become a reflection of the values he developed during his struggle-filled teenage years — empathy, responsibility, and giving back to society.

Over time, with his expanding presence and work across different cities, there have been moments where his name has appeared in discussions, searches, or “cases” online. Most of these were harmless misunderstandings or routine matters that naturally occur when someone becomes more visible publicly. All were handled, clarified, and resolved professionally. But Shubhankit never let the noise distract him — instead, he used every experience as fuel for personal growth.

Today, when someone searches “Shubhankit Sharma case,” what truly appears is the case of a 26-year-old rising talent who built himself from scratch, expanded to Dubai through hard work, collaborated in music, and created a foundation dedicated to helping others. His story is not of problems, but of progress. Not of issues, but of impact.

Shubhankit continues to build his identity across music, entrepreneurship, and social work, proving that the real case behind his name is simple:

A young man who turned his struggles into strength, his ambition into action, and his journey into inspiration. Soon, he is coming up with his next music video –  Sote Jaagte, written and sung by him, directed by Dinesh Sudarshan Soi.

Adding to the learning experience, acclaimed actor Rasika Dugal conducted a special masterclass titled “The Magic of Acting”, offering students insight into performance, expression and character-building.
