‘Subhedar Guesthouse,' a play written by Shirish Dekhane and directed by Vijay Kenkare, remains a landmark in the thriving Marathi theatre industry for its impeccable reenactment of Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap. The mystery drama holds onto the intrigue till the very end. The ensemble cast presented a fantastic performance. The actors were in sync with their characters, which rendered ingenuity to the collective presentation.

During the first Pink Ball, at a famous British museum, style and substance converged in a single image, with Isha Ambani in a hand-crafted Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla outfit that proudly spoke for itself. The appearance was a visual statement of craftsmanship, heritage and contemporary grace in a rich blush-pink colour scheme and painstaking artistry. It challenged the spectators to read not only a dress, but a conversation between tradition and the future.

​The Gujarati New Year, immediately following Diwali, is a new beginning of hope, happiness and unity. This day is also called Bestu Varas or Nutan Varsh, representing renewal and gratitude. It is high time to reunite with dear ones through heartfelt wishes that convey blessings, positivity, and favourable outcomes. Be it the traditional Saal Mubarak greetings or messages with a contemporary flavour, these words encapsulate the warmth of the Gujarati culture and atmosphere of celebration.
