We are almost six months into lockdown, having learnt a lot of things from this pause, we all needed. Whether it was personal growth, a familial bond, or reconnecting with flourishing nature, we have all been weaving our own quarantine stories - hoping and expecting for better days. Growing through what we are going through, the ‘new normal’ finally seems to seep in now.

Amiable. Courageous and Graceful. These three virtues self-explain one of the biggest names in the world of tennis. Maestro on the lawn for over two decades now, GlobalSpa’s cover star Sania Mirza joins us for a buzzworthy conversation circling lockdown, reconnecting with hobbies, future aspirations, and of course tennis!

You will also find vivid travel experiences from our friends in the hospitality industry - we have it all neatly packed for your wanderlust dreams. Create the perfect dose of strength, your immunity could very much benefit from. And welcome monsoon with our latest beauty tips and fashion

We can't have a rainbow without rain, and we are just starting to see some colours.
