Media outlets and paparazzi, armed with an assortment of cameras and lenses, eagerly waited to click the perfect shot of Bollywood sweethearts Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif tying the knot at the magnificent Six Senses Fort Barwara, a 14th-century fortress converted into a luxurious heritage hotel and wellness resort boasting 48 lavish suites. And as soon as the highly coveted image surfaced on social media and various websites, it became an instant sensation, propelling Six Senses Fort Barwara, India’s inaugural outpost of the hotel chain, to newfound fame.

THE SOLE MEMORY

I WAS LOOKING FOR A SHOE shop to get my favourite pair repaired. The August Texan heat had loosened the sole on one of them. In other times, I would have thrown the pair away rather than go through the trouble of finding a repair shop. But I loved these shoes and searched for someone to bring them back to life.

THE BORDERLESS GURU

THE AIR IS THIN, TINGED with the scent of juniper. A swift wind whips through faded prayer flags, while glaciers carve valleys and jagged peaks pierce a sky the colour of lapis lazuli. Standing here, the idea of political borders feels almost absurd. Maps may mark out India, Nepal, Bhutan, or Tibet, but the landscape itself refuses to be partitioned. These mountains carry a shared heritage, embodied by a single figure who transcends frontiers: Padmasambhava, the Lotus-Born. Known as Guru Rinpoche, the Precious Master, Padmasambhava brought Buddhism to Tibet in the eighth century. His image gazes out from gompas across the Himalayas-wrathful yet compassionate, eyes filled with the wisdom of lifetimes. To see him only as a missionary is to miss the larger truth.
