pDear Readers,brIf there’s one festival universally celebrated with complete gusto in India, it is Diwali — the festival of lights! It is a time when friends and family come together to celebrate and share the festive spirit. The atmosphere is warm, people make merry, and homes are colourful, bright and lit, all to signify the victory of light over darkness. Diwali is only a few days away, and the revelry is already in full swing, so in this issue we took the opportunity to get up close and personal with some well-known families from the city who share their plans with us. Check out Feature Story to know more. brShuttling between love and style, badminton champ Kidambi Srikanth and celebrity stylist Shravya Varma grace our cover with a Cover Story that celebrates fashion at its finest! Featuring the artistry of Gowri Signatures, the story focuses on how their designs elevate the couple’s wedding style, blending tradition with a modern twist to create a truly smashing look.brIn our People in Focus we have Tanisha Golechha, who brings spaces to life with her keen eye for design and passion for visual storytelling. As a designer and visualiser, she curates interiors that beautifully blend form and function, transforming ideas into immersive environments that inspire and captivate.brNext up is Mind and Body, embracing mindfulness and intention. Let the festivities inspire joy, gratitude, and well-being, creating a balanced and enriching experience beyond the lights.brWe hope you enjoy this issue and wish you all a Diwali filled with peace, joy, and abundant blessings.brIf you have any suggestions, comments or queries, please e-mail me at publisheryou-and-i.comp
