For a different coffee or side table

Many of us spend hours here, flopped on cushions with a book on weekends, or whispering our woes in a friend's ear. With a steaming cup of aromatic coffee resting within easy reach, placed on none other than a favourite coffee or side table, we make the best out of our lazy Fridays.

The sisterhood of sartorial spirit!

Life, with all its twists and turns, is not easy, and looking good and feeling fabulous is not either. Knowing what works best for me is great, but sometimes too much of a good thing can be not so good.

A tasty retreat

I am such a gloomy Gus when it comes to celebrating days meant only for vendible gains. I, quite honestly speaking, see no reason to hail Valentine's Day, Mother's or Father's Day; even getting a stale rose on International Women's Day plays on my nerves.

Better with butter

Unadulterated butter packs a bunch of nutrients like protein, 'good' fats and a host of vitamins, including A, D, K and B12. It also adds a taste of richness to almost all dishes, and the smell of butter also boosts the appeal of the dish served.

Vincent and I

The lobby of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) seemed to be an organised chaos - hundreds of people standing there in a serpentine queue, talking art and waiting impatiently to grab their ticket to get into the magical madness of this place. There was impatience, but no rage.

Cookbooks for rookies

Cooking, like all other forms of art, is no rocket science; yet it requires passion, taste and a lot of practice. Nobody is going to become Matt Preston in a day but that being said, most amateur cooks do not usually know where to begin.
