"Creativity and culture permeate every aspect of Indian life. In a rapidly changing traditional society, household objects reflect centuries of collective wisdom. The practical and innovative objects display the exuberant imagination and exquisite creativity of craft persons from all over the country."

'Caught on Cover'

Don't Judge a Book by its cover... Unless.. Its a MAGAZINE..

New month... gets with itself our new stack of Fashion Magazines..!! 

And the very first thing that catches our eyes, is the COVER !! 

(PS: On average, a consumer will spend only three seconds looking at a 

magazine on a newsstand before deciding whether or not to pick it up)

Well...October, seems like a pretty good month.. as we have a tough competition for the Best one..!!

With Vogue Coming out with it's 5th anniversary issue, starring Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma , Bazaar gave a bang on Sonakshi Sinha with a whole new avatar 

(styled by none other than Anamika Khanna)..!!

Not just that... Grazia.. was simply Stunning, featuring Lakshmi Menon..in a Dior Dress..

(It took all our attention)!! 

Diana Penty looked pretty too on the Elle, but not that tough..(we loved the Cover line and cover style) !! 

While Kareena Kapoor being the current talk of Bollywood  did the 3rd cover this month for Hello 

(Also did with Femina & Notch), she indeed made her presence felt..

And lastly, Verve..with its annual best dressed issue, did a great job choosing the correct Cover girls.

Decision time: our vote goes with Grazia this month....What about you ?

'Mind Readers'

Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience:  this is the ideal life.  

~Mark Twain

From Fashion and music to architecture and design to art and photography, books and magazines covers a wide array of creative areas that appeal to almost everyone. 

They are not just good reads, but storms your brains, and open the door to million ideas, to live, to cook, to create, to style, and the list goes on. They are the best stress busters, whether you read every word, or just flip through the amazing images, which inspires you either slip in the amazing Vera Wang you see in 'Vogue', or that sumptuous triple layer chocolate cake in a cook book, which you badly want after an exhausting day at work. No matter how many times you read it, you can never get bored.
So, go pick up those heavy, beautifully illustrated books and tickle your creative mind.
Stack up some good reads around yourself, because they will only make the space around you much bigger.
