Hyderabad is the land of opportunity. While the pandemic gave us plenty of reasons to be pessimistic, the future rests with the dreams and aspirations of entrepreneurs — in private business and public or community service. We occasionally bring you their stories, like this week, we spoke with the men behind Prost and Ironhill — Harsha Vadlamudi, Teja Chekuri, Subbaraju Penmatsa, and Vidhatha Annamaneni. The young men discuss their journey through the trials and tribulations of opening a business in the Cover Story. If you’ve fantasized about eating your way through the country, you’re not alone. From Bajra ki Roti with Kadhi and Khasta Kachori to Pork combined with Lai Xaak, the country is a foodie’s dream. These traditional foods are not only delectable, but they also tell the story of a country’s history, people and traditions. Check out Feature Story to know more. In People in Focus, we have Nikhila Reddy Chigurupati, a lawyer turned owner/founder of a pastry cloud kitchen, Four Ounces. After graduating from the Nalsar University of Law, she worked with law firms in India, the USA, and Dubai, and numerous high courts and the supreme court of India. She talks about her venture, her earliest experience of baking, and her likes and dislikes about baking. Last but not the least, head over to Wedding Moments to catch a glimpse of Mahati and Prudhvi's intimate but beautiful reception. And tell us what you think.

Art is defined as the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting, sculpture, print, drawing, decorative art, photograph, and installation. But what is it really? Art is something that makes you delve deeper into the meaning of an object than what meets the eye at the mere surface. As Edger Degas once said, “Art is not what you see but what you make others see.” We are surrounded by art everywhere—on public walls as graffiti, on the walls of our homes as paintings, resting in museums as sculptures or portraits, and adding character to spaces as artefacts. These are all created by masterminds who truly see what others only catch a glimpse of. In our Feature Story this week, we feature six of the most successful and popular artists of the country whose works speak volumes of their talent. On the cover, we have the gorgeous Kriti Sanon who has made a name for herself as a multi-talented and versatile actress. She has, in her eight year-long career, essayed many roles ranging from a small town girl to a glam diva, a historic character to a bold one. While 2021 may have been a very successful one for Kriti, who appeared in and won awards for the film Mimi, 2022 is a promising one with five film releases for the actress. Turn to Cover Story to know more about the actress and her endeavours. In People we have the iconic and legendary photographer Steve McCurry who has a love for India which is evident in his photographs. We also have Richard Orlinski whose electrifying work is often seen in unusual places in the great outdoors. Turn to Mind & Body where Italian actress-model and fitness enthusiast Giorgia Andriani gives us a glimpse into her fitness regime. The model is often seen sharing videos and pictures of her workout.

Futuristic Transportation Pod for water land and sky. After the creation of many successful motor vehicles and watercraft concepts, Italian designer Pierpaolo Lazzarini reveals his newest design, stratosfera. It’s an ultra-light carbon fibre sphere that can move on water, land, and in the sky. The sphere’s diameter is 1.65 metres and can accommodate up to two passengers for a unique and wonderful journey, while the batteries are safely located inside the extendable foil. It has a Volatile mode, which transforms into a quadcopter powered by twin 150 horsepower electric jet engines capable of hitting a top speed of 155.3 mph (250 km/hr). You can never be too safe and that’s why there are solar panels up top as a backup battery of sorts. Unfortunately, there’s no word yet on pricing or availability, but considering that no passenger drones have been approved by the FAA, it may be a while until this is released. – Luxatic

Riding on a wild wave! Original vedio by 🎥 @blairconklin

Embrace “more is more” with Kangana Ranaut! Prints are the perfect fashion accessory in themselves, and they don't require much adornment or elaboration. And when you combine 2 prints at once, it’s like the icing on a cupcake or a cherry on a cake, because that’s how much more it adds to your look. Top designers and fashionistas around the world are experimenting with this look since it makes for a highly current and sassy fashion statement. Examples include pairing a paisley print shirt with a polka zari saree or a floral long skirt with a pola dotted top. Because Why stop at one statement piece when you can mix and match your entire attire to let prints take over? And while this trend has just the right amount of freshness and elegance to help you top the fashion charts, it is also difficult to pull off and can be a major fashion faux pas when done incorrectly. But, if you want to try this trend and embrace a bold, new you, take inspiration from Kangana Ranaut and learn how to do print on print right. Known to be one of the most bold women Bollywood, or even the world has ever seen, her fashion statements also precede her reputation. She has tried the print on print trend in all possible ways – matching prints, clashing prints, contrast prints, pairing 2 classic prints like stripes and polka dots, a clash of 2 traditional patterns like floral and paisley - you name it. We hope this serves as cue for you to take style inspo from Kangana Ranaut, shed those inhibitions and embrace a bold new you!
