F2 rising star Kush Maini on his racing journey & challenges in motorsport. Ekta Sinha hitches a ride
The sports scene in India is getting bigger and more diverse than ever, with fans increasingly supporting teams and athletes beyond specific games. One such adrenaline-filled sport gaining traction in the country is motorsport, where Bengaluru-born racer Kush Maini is making waves. Coming from a family deeply rooted in the sport, Maini's journey has been shaped by competition and close relationships with his brother Arjun Maini, the Alpine Academy and the team at Invicta Racing. Maini is going from strength to strength as he climbs the racing ladder-from karting victories to podium finishes in F2. He sat down with ELLE India to share his journey so far and his ambitions to put India on the motorsport map soon.

The Subtle Grandeur of Narain Niwas Palace
There's a kind of quiet that belongs only to old homes. At Narain Niwas Palace, it hums in the walls, drifts through the painted corridors, and settles among the mango and tamarind trees. Built in 1928 by General Amar Singh Ji Kanota as a retreat from the city's noise, the palace remains under the care of his family. Its fifty-two rooms, each carrying its own blend of antique furniture and hand-painted detail, feel more like a home still in use than a hotel on display. The pale lime walls seem to hold sunlight long after dusk, and the courtyards breathe with the slow rhythm of a place untouched by time.
