With everything that has been going around us in these times, we chose to look at the brighter side of things. This issue is a reminder that there’s still good out there and humanity has a fighting chance. One person who is the living proof for the same is our July ‘20 cover man, Sonu Sood. He has won the hearts of millions of people across the nation with his great initiative to help the migrants get back home. We talked to the man himself about what it actually takes to be the change everyone talks about. Businessman Suhel Seth talks about his perspective on luxury and how we will all perceive luxury differently once the lockdown is lifted. Luke Coutinho gives his two cents on how mental health matters far more than we think it does. We were also lucky enough to visit Warner Bros. World in Abu Dhabi left the pandemic and we’ve got a firsthand account of the same for you in our travel pages. We’ve also got our whisky professional, Jamie Walker, to answer the question, ‘Does age really matter?’ All this and much more in our July ‘20 issue. Cheers!
