It’s almost time for Christmas and the festivity is in full bloom, with
Christmas trees and decorations being put up at people’s homes and
in hotels and malls. The city is lit up and everyone across the globe is
gearing up for the festive season. Joy and happiness has filled the air,
as has laughter and revelry. It’s a time to come together with family
and loved ones and soak in the festivities collectively. You & I brings
to you our annual Christmas special wherein we took a peek into
the homes of some well-known families of the city to know what their
Christmas will be like. Take a look at the Feature story to see what
they had to say.
On the cover are the gorgeous Erica Benedetto, a counsellor at the
International School of Hyderabad, and Varsha Reddy, a familiar face
in the city’s social circle, who share their Christmas plans with us.
The holiday season calls for a lot of binge eating, and trying to
maintain a diet or fitness regimen at this time can become quite
challenging. But fret not as our Mind & Body suggests some
guidelines to follow during this time to avoid putting on too much
weight.
