SANIA MIRZA What were your younger days like?

My younger days were very normal like any other child playing tennis, swimming and playing different sports. I used to love studying, so yeah, it was a very normal middle-class life that we led, I guess, and I was a single child till I was almost seven then my sister came along, and we are a very close-knit family, and it has always been that way.

Interviewed by Sukhmani Sadana

MAR 2021 | 21

You have been the pride of India and started when women and sports were a rare choice. How do you feel now with so many sports avenues opening for girls?

Yeah, well when I started obviously, there were not many young girls playing tennis or many sports for that matter, but today as we know we have got some of the biggest stars of our country are women sportsperson, so it’s incredible. I think it’s an amazing path for young girls to choose a different calling, and I think it’s fantastic that we have so many great champions from our country and things have gotten so much better now, and hopefully, it will only rise from here.

When did you know that you wanted to be a tennis player?

I think when I was about 12 was when I really decided what I wanted to do with my life and this career path I wanted to take before that.

It was always I was playing tennis enjoying it, but I didn’t know if it was going to be my career.

MAR 2021 | 22

How do you manage motherhood and playing at the same time?

What’s more challenging?

I think that you know women are good at multitasking and God has made us this way, so it been something that’s not easy definitely, there’s a whole army that goes into it my parents have a good team my sister But I think motherhood and playing at the same time is not just that I do, I do many more things I have a good team around me who supports me and helps me so much so I don’t know what’s more challenging everything is a challenge, but I enjoy it all and wouldn’t have it any other way.

MAR 2021 | 23

How do you cope up with weight training and tennis both together to keep fit?

There is no secret; I love what I do, and I don’t do it if I don’t love it. I enjoy everything that I do, so there is actually no secret to being active or proactive. I do whatever I believe, love, and enjoy doing and work hard for it.

MAR 2021 | 24

Your best memory about tennis/ tournament/ match?

I don’t think I have one best tennis memory. I’ve had a very long career but definitely winning Wimbledon and becoming number 1 in the world are two things, and those two moments that will always be very close to my heart.

What’s your secret that you always stay so proactive?

It is part of my job, and also, I like to be healthy and fit, so it comes naturally to me to work out and work hard, but it’s also a requirement of my job.

Tell us something about your journey back to tennis post your pregnancy and delivery?

It’s obviously been extremely hard. I put on 23 kilos, I lost 26 kilos in 4 months, and then I have to get fit to be able to play tennis and be strong.

But the fact is it’s something I have enjoyed doing and done it. Even if I weren’t going to play tennis, I would have done to go back to being healthy its been a challenging journey, but it’s all been worth it if you ask me today.

You’re titled as one of the ‘50 Heroes of Asia’. Tell us, three other women you consider as Heroes?

GUL PANAG CELEBRITY OF THE MONTH

/01 Being from an army background, how was it to study in multiple schools and move cities across the county and world?

MAR 2021 | 28

Studying in different schools was a unique experience. Something that prepared me to quickly orient myself, adjust, and adapt to new situations. It was also a great opportunity and arose as a result of meeting people from varying backgrounds.

/02 From being interested in sports, how did you decide to suddenly participate in Miss Universe? Or was it not sudden?

From when I was about seven or eight years of age, it was quite clear to me that one of the things I was going to do was be Miss India, and I think doing everything that I was doing being a sports athlete, being good in studies was just in tandem with this plan, so it was not sudden it was something that I had intended to do all along but also clearly ONE of the things I intended to do.

/03 Tell us a little about your love for acting and your beautiful career journey.

Very early in my career, I had the opportunity to work with a director who little mentored me and has continued to mentor me over the years, Suhail Tatari, and that somewhat set the tone of the kind of cinema I want to pursue and kind of roles I want to take upon and also the kind of genre of acting I would subscribe to. And it’s been a rewarding journey! I think it’s important to carve the space for yourself in whatever it is you do, and largely by default initially but later on a lot by design, I gravitated towards the school of cinema, a certain school of acting which probably one could say I was initiated into by default by working with Suhail and then later cemented by working with people like Ashwini Chaudhary, Nagesh Kukunoor, Navdeep Singh.

And many more talented folks later I’ve had the privilege to work with

/04 You are such an active contributor to the wellbeing of our Indian society?

How strongly do you feel on certain issues?

I think it’s extremely important to use every platform available to us to speak about things. Especially when one sometimes has the opportunity to be the voice of people who don’t have a voice

/05 How do you manage acting, producing, being fit, being a producer, a wife, and so many other aspects all together?

The key to doing multiple things, and we can all do them, is to be disciplined and compartmentalize things. When you divide things into compartments and pursue them with discipline, While resisting the temptation to mix compartments, one really has the ability to do a lot more than one thinks.

/06 We call you a strong woman.

What’s your definition of a strong woman? And one message for all the women out there.

A Strongwoman is a woman who appreciates the role of other women in her life and is always looking for an opportunity to empower other women. My message to all the women out there is never to let anybody else decide what your limits and boundaries are, and to question everything!

Sheila INTERVIEWED BY RISHIKA GARG

Bella

BUSINESS COACH

MAR 2021 | 30

/01

How/why did you start your business?

I came to this country at eight years old and watched as my parents took our family from 10 people in a two-bedroom apartment in a bad part of LA to a comfortable middle-class lifestyle in the Valley. They did it all through strategy and grit. Business is in my blood. It was only a matter of time before I started my own company- Platinum Vocals Inc., a children’s performing arts school that created young aspiring artists with no experience in Broadway, Disney Channel, America’s Got Talent, and American Idol stardom. Despite the success of this business in 2009, some major life changes occurred when I decided to get out of a bad relationship that crippled my self-esteem. I divorced my first husband and needed to reinvent myself.

I tried new things to get myself out of my comfort zone. I started modeling, acting, freelance makeup artistry, musical theater, and my last job was waiting tables in a schoolgirl outfit at Dillon’s Irish Pub serving avocado fries. A year later, fate brought me to Will, the love of my life, and after we got engaged, I was ready for stability. My dreams changed.

Avocado fries, although delicious, weren’t exactly my idea of a dream job. Suppose I wanted kids, a house, a beach wedding, and the whole enchilada I needed to get a better job, that made a lot of money, with benefits, that allowed me to make my own schedule, where all my best friends worked too so that it.

But where in the world could I find that job?

I wasn’t qualified to apply for anything I came across, and nothing met my description. So I decided this time I would become a permanent makeup brow artist. Why? Coz schooling was only five days, and I really thought that it was something I could make “cool.” I’ve always had a knack for makeup, so I can totally learn to tattoo it on people, right!?

I became one of the first microbladers in Los Angeles. After graduating from the course, it was now time to hustle to build my brand. Do you know how they say, “Dress for the job you want, not for the job you have.”? That’s exactly what I had to do.

I had ZERO clients. Nobody knew my name. I remember getting dressed to the nines as if my calendar was full.

My face beat was serious. I marched up and down Ventura Blvd. passing out my brochures at hair salons and medi-spas, asking owners if I could leave my brochures in their waiting areas.

Walking into places cold was pride swallowing.

It was hard, and I got turned down a lot! But I saw it as a numbers game. For every nine people that turned me down, one would agree to work with me. I was a shameless self-promoter. My friends all thought I was crazy. A bunch of them said, “Tattooing makeup is old-fashioned. I can’t imagine this ever panning out, Sheila.”

But I kept going. There were a lot of ups and downs, and I made a lot of mistakes before I started to figure out what worked. I didn’t have a mentor, but I really wish I did! I promoted everywhere I could. When the phone started ringing for appointments, I pretended to be my own receptionist and answered in the most professional voice I could muster. This gave me the freedom to sell my own services as a witness and therefore gave me more credibility.

I also didn’t have money for a web designer, so I spent three weeks locked in my apartment learning coding from YouTube and building my website. There wasn’t a Chamber of Commerce MAR 2021 | 31

breakfast meeting I didn’t do a trial at, and when people asked me to showcase my product, I spoke with the confidence of a seasoned pro. Why? Because I had to. To me, failure just wasn’t an option. After doing this imperfectly and repetitively, I started getting more clients. My portfolio was getting larger, and finally, people started to believe in me and my art. Pretty soon, I hired my first employee, then my second, then my third, and so on. My friends who didn’t believe in me all of a sudden were asking if I was hiring!

Yes, that actually happened! Now I teach overworked, underpaid, and underestimated beauty entrepreneurs how to do the same thing.

MAR 2021 | 32

/02

What is the most difficult thing about building a brand from scratch?

The most difficult thing about building a brand from scratch is learning how to encourage yourself to keep going, keep

posting, keep smiling even when you feel like no one cares. Now several million dollars later, I’m sure you say that’s easy for me to say. But let’s go back into my time machine, shall we? In my first month as a brow artist, I had one client, and she complained.

My first podcast had 12 downloads.

My first long caption post on IG had eight likes.

In my first live, I’m pretty sure it was just my Mom and her friends watching.

In my first online course, I had three sales, and I was elated.

When stuff like this happens, you feel like a failure. The hardest part about entrepreneurship is showing up every day no matter what and just deciding that you are “a person of influence” and “important” all of a sudden.

Even through the low views, even through the low sales, even through the low likes, and even through your period cramps.

Next time you find yourself starting to talk yourself out of a commitment that you made to yourself, see what happens if, instead, you can offer yourself the grace of understanding that without the failures, you would not be able to reach your desired destination.

/03

What do you love about your work?

Nothing feels better than watching the emotional and teary testimonials of clients at the end of their program with us at Pretty Rich Bosses. What’s even better is if I remember their hesitation towards spending a grip of money on coaching in the beginning. It’s so amazing to be able to “introduce” our students to the “hashtag boss babe” within that was dormant all along— such an incredible feeling.

MAR 2021 | 33

/04

What tips do you have for other women who would like to start their own businesses?

“Don’t start a business. Start a mission and make THAT your business!” This is exactly what I did. My mission was to create what I

MAR 2021 | 34

needed ten years ago, and here it is today.

I have a pain in my soul for the woman who is an amazing artist but isn’t getting the visibility she deserves. I feel deeply for the girl who is crippled by the fear of what people may think if she starts to show up more for her business. I empathize with the person who constantly lives in a state of worry and anxiety because she doesn’t have a consistent flow of clients.

And lastly, I am obsessed with YOU, the woman who’s sitting here reading this right now, because you took a chance! You have this crazy dream that none of your friends and family fully understand, and

that’s why you’re here. You’re the beauty entrepreneur who is hungry for more. You crave soul, strategy, and sisterhood in this seemingly lonely little trade of ours. Just like I did! I am so PROUD and HONORED to have you here. I want you to know I see you, and I know you because I am you! Give yourself permission to play a little harder, look a little deeper and be a little kinder not only to everyone you meet but, more importantly, to yourself. It is my prayer

that you become ignited to release all of the miraculous gifts within you that you have kept locked away out of fear and sheer doubt. You have a crazy opportunity to create whatever breakthrough you’re looking for by showing up, letting go, and trusting your own unique process. Take a deep breath—hand on your heart. Close your eyes and say, “I love you, soul. You got this.”

Some tips for budding influencers?

Would you rather have a million followers or a million dollars? I know you want both but if you could only have one, which one? Dollars, of course! Follow count doesn’t matter; what matters is influence. Can you INFLUENCE your follower to purchase from you and turn that follower into a paying customer? What matters is SALES. I feel honored to have done eyebrows for several insta-famous mega influencers. It’s hard to believe that having millions upon millions of Instagram followers

MAR 2021 | 36

isn’t an instant ticket to a million dollars. But the one thing that is for sure is SALES SKILLS. Sales is the metric upon which one can measure how effective of an “influencer” you actually are. To me, you’re not an influencer unless you can sell. Influence is a skill. And sales is the skill that teaches you how to convince others to act aligned with your desired outcome. So my advice to all budding influencers is don’t be a poser; learn sales.

Rohini Iyer QUEEN OF PR

How did you make the switch from journalism to now being one of India’s biggest influential entrepreneurs?

Journalism was something that I did when I was very young, and it was something that I wanted to do because I used to love writing. It was not something that I thought of as a career or a profession. During my education, when I was interning, I used to love meeting people and writing. I wanted to do something in the business of communication and entertainment. When I started working and growing, I realized that my forte was building brands, businesses, and companies. That’s what I started doing eventually, and that’s how Raindrop Media was born.

MAR 2021 | 38

Did you think it would be possible to survive, let alone lead, in this man-dominated profession? How did you do the latter?

We keep talking about equality and gender, and then we keep harping on this profession being a man-dominated one. It’s just a profession. When we are in school, we don’t talk about whether a man is better or a woman. In any workplace, the right qualification is all that matters, not gender. For me, it has always been ‘May the best person win’ over ‘May the best man win.’ As long as you are capable, qualified, talented, and have the ability to work harder than any other person in the room, you will be successful. I don’t like the word ‘survive.’ I think it is very negative. I like to thrive. The word ‘survive’ implies that I’m settling for too little. Surviving is normal and understood; it should come like breathing. It’s thriving that matters to me. What to make of this life and how much I thrive is what matters to me, and I feel this is something that everyone should think and do.

What’s the trick behind your success?

There’s no trick. There’s no magic formula for success. People have their own list of dos and don’ts. I keep reiterating is that the fact that the only thing you need to remember is not to let

success go to your head or failure to your heart. When you’re successful, keep a calm head and if you fail, have the courage to fail big and not let the experience get to your heart. I’ve lived by this theory all my life, and that’s something that I would ask everybody to remember.

MAR 2021 | 39

How important is it for a woman in today’s time to have a man in her life? Your take on woman empowerment.

I believe in work-life balance, and I believe in having a personal life. And I’m sure that the same goes for everyone. Would a man be asked how important it is to have a woman in his life? That’s not even a question for a man. So, why should it be a question for a woman? Talking about women empowerment, I would like to reiterate that there should be equal chances for everyone, be it, MAR 2021 | 40

men or women. Right now, it is a great time for women. It’s great that women are more ambitious and less apologetic about asking for more money and taking the initiative.

They are more upfront about what they want from their lives and partners. It’s a great time, and I hope it continues. I know so many talented women I’ve worked and dealt with over-compensating and apologizing for things, and that’s something I don’t understand why women do. I want to tell every woman that they are enough and they deserve everything that they bring to the table, and they should ask for a seat at the table.

What future plans in your entrepreneur career?

I keep my cards very close to my heart.

I believe in doing things first and then shocking people. There are lots of things that I do have in mind. To give you a small overview, I would say that all I want is everything. I don’t have plans; I have dreams. The dream is world domination at some point.

You have been awarded as one of the India’s Outstanding women’. Any advice to all women on how they can each stand out?

The best advice I can give is that don’t fit in and stay in a box. Every time someone puts you in a box, get out of it. Try to make sure that you stick very true to your core, authenticity, and what you stand for. Don’t try to be like anyone else because there’s only one you, and that’s your superpower.

uxury retail stalwart, she has garnered over a decade of significant experience in the industry, having laid the foundation of leading international luxury and premium retailers such as Estee Lauder and Christian Louboutin in India.

Striking the perfect balance between strategy and creativity, she identified the need for highend localization for luxury brands to succeed in a unique market like India.

To her credit, at Christian Louboutin, she devised and executed three successful collaborations with Sabyasachi Mukherjee, fashioned the country’s first-ever bridal suite, and triumphantly created a distinct identity for Louboutin in India while retaining the international brand image. She conceptualized commercially successful trunk shows to tap into the tier 2 markets and organized unique concept events at the store to increase customer loyalty by appreciating their patronage.

She started her career in hospitality and F&B with a leading Indian winery – Chateau Indage and launched Red Bull in India.

She moved into the luxury beauty industry, Estee Lauder, where is was involved in training, sales, and business development and set up over 8 Estee Lauder stores in the country. She was honored with the Best Manager of the Year award (2010) at Estee Lauder.

MAR 2021 | 48

She has been spearheading Christian Louboutin in India for over seven years now. She travels extensively between London and Paris for the brand, works closely with Mr. Louboutin, and is his Indian eye for sourcing art.

The element of empathy in retail has been an inextricable ideal for her and believes has helped her tread through tough market conditions.

For her, luxury should be comme il faut - her approach to retail is very value-centric - respect for all stakeholders in the ecosystem and responsible consumption.

She translates this maxim into practice at Lighthouse, a 360 degree retail advisory whose foundational ideal has been promoting sustainability-driven, eco-centric, progressive production and execution methods.

Anjali, experiencing the best of both worlds - from spearheading Christian Louboutin in India for over seven years now to nurturing a purposeful luxury startup - has rendered her ever more dynamic.

She hails from the royal family of Baroda and is an avid golfer.

MAR 2021 | 51

A

s a pioneering visionary in stainless artistry, Mrs. Deepika Jindal - Creative Director & Managing Director of JSL Lifestyle and an new age womanpreneur - has her sights firmly tuned in towards the larger global business portfolio of the company.

Mrs. Deepika Jindal unveiled her design curiosities with the inception of Arttd’inox 15 years ago by marrying fine artistic sensibilities with classic home décor solutions. Prompted by the pillars of creativity, functionality and an eye for detail, Arttd’inox resonates with the timeless ‘Art in Stainless Steel’.

With a vision to make luxury an everyday phenomenon, Deepika today leads India’s lifestyle revolution. She spearheads a team of passionate designers and nurtures a culture of innovative collaboration to transform the way we interpret stainless steel artistry, and celebrate its varied expressions as art meets functionality in aesthetic ways. For over a decade she has been innovating with MAR 2021 | 52

stainless steel, using it with other material like glass, wood and ceramic, to create a range of distinctive products. Arttd’inox collections respond to the creative vision of her designers who find inspiration in global art and culture, seamlessly blending the classical with contemporary.

For Deepika, it has always been about opulent and strong finishes, distinct design execution, bespoke and handcrafted elements, and fluidity and flexibility that resonates equally with evolving global trends and modern Indian lifestyle. Given the level of craftsmanship our national legacy boasts of, the culturally conscious, She wanted to place India’s heritage artisans at the forefront of a global panorama, and showcase their handcrafted magic with the world.

Amelia

Fashion Model

/01

What made you pursue a career as a model?

I was interested in gaining confidence in front of the camera in college. I wanted to overcome my shyness, so whenever I saw the opportunity, I’d ask my friends to photograph me. I saw tremendous growth in my confidence through my pictures and decided to try my luck by sending my photos to agencies. It worked out well for me, and I got to travel all over India during college and be studying for my exams on flights! That was the stressful part but makes me smile to think about now.

INTERVIEWED BY RISHIKA GARG

/02

Being a reliable model is of utmost importance. How would you describe your work ethic?

For a lazy person, I think my current work ethic surprises me sometimes! The travels and work hours can be super exhausting but are so worth it. I am dedicated to each job I take up, so I genuinely feel a strong sense of responsibility for it. It can take time to get yourself into a peaceful head space to work efficiently; that’s the most important thing to do before I begin.

Putting soul into my work has become a top priority to me.

MAR 2021 | 57

/03

What is your greatest strength as a model?

I think I pour a lot of myself out when I’m in front of the camera. I like to have the freedom to express myself and do my best when given that. I don’t want to look like a beautiful object, and I want to bring some character through my work. There’s a lot of acting that goes on in modeling as well, and that’s the part of it that I enjoy the most.

What advice would you give to a woman about following her dreams?

Don’t let any man or any other woman hold you down.

Confidence is key, and if you don’t believe in yourself, nobody will. Take a leap of faith in the unknown and believe that it can lead you to great things!

Ar t in Bloom S.H Raza x Manish Pushkale MAR 2021 | 122

m: MAR 2021 | 123

L

ate Sayed Haider Raza is one of the most prominent and ground-breaking Indian painters of his generation. During his training in France, Raza experimented with a variety of Modernist styles through landscape painting—first inspired by Expressionism, and later by geometric abstraction.

In 1970, Raza began to paint purely geometric forms, particularly the circle and the dot, which he likened to the idea of the bindu. Though his style changed drastically over the course of his career, Raza’s works were all united in their emphasis on color, and their references to memory and mood.

Raza was also responsible for founding the Bombay Progressive Artists’ Group (PAG) with Krishna Hawlaji Ara and Francis Newton Souza, with the purpose of turning away from the European realist styles taught in Indian art schools, and establishing a modernist vocabulary relevant to India.

Amongst contemporary modern Indian artists, Manish Pushkale occupies a unique position.

Born and raised in Bhopal, Manish has carved a distinct identity not just in the global art world, but also as a youth icon and inspiration for aspiring young artists from Madhya Pradesh.

Apart from receiving numerous awards for his work, he has been a special invitee of the Government of France for its Festival of India in 2016, and a Fellow at the famous Institute of Advance Studies at

MAR 2021 | 124

“

Nantes, France in 2014.

His large, meditative works adorn the walls of national and international museums and galleries, grace the collections of art connoisseurs and the rich and famous, form the subject of critiques and research papers of student artists and art critics, and have garnered him several

prestigious national and international awards. Yet, no matter how far afield Manish’s works and fame travels, his artistic sensibility remains firmly rooted in the soil of his birthplace. Just as Bhopal’s rare blend of the modern and the ancient is embedded in the prehistory of Bhimbhetka and the antiquity of Sanchi, Manish’s abstractionism is but a channelling of this prehistory and antiquity into contemporary forms of expression.

In today’s bustling art world, Manish’s calm, contemplative canvases are reflective of the unbroken emergence of civilization and its underlying spirituality, of genesis, progress and change. It is this

reflective intellectualism that finds resonance with viewers, connoisseurs, critics and young artists alike. A willing mentor and inspiration to many aspiring artists from his home state, he provides them with artistic and commercial guidance, organizes art camps, and has curated several gallery exhibitions to help promote them, thus building a legacy framework for them to shoulder when they achieve success.

His work as a Trustee of ‘The Raza Foundation’ and as the Executive Trustee of ‘The Krishna Sobti Foundation’, his establishment of ‘The Vaid Award’ in honour of the late writer Krishna Baldev Vaid, to appreciate radical Hindi writers, are efforts to contribute towards a sustainable artistic and intellectual legacy for future generations.

Memories with S.H. Raza: MAR 2021 | 126

This is a centenary year of S.H. Raza. I feel proud to see myself in an extraordinary position which I have gained under the humble guidance of my master. My 25 year old association with him is a unique example for those curious individuals who are interested in case study to understand the importance and idea of “teaching without teaching”. Raza sahab, never ever gave any academic lesson or taught me anything in any straight line lecture system, but, he continuously demonstrated the continuum of his integrity and belief through his art practice and related mannerism. He simply showed the way of hard work with conviction.

Such passive but demonstrative manner of teaching is also a profound example of our Guru-Shishya parampara. This system of teaching in visual arts is not as common as it is in other art forms like music and dance. Raza in himself became a beautiful confluence of modern and traditional sensibilities. I feel proud that the foundation of my sensibilities are laid on such multi-dimensional but non-academic process.

The Raza Foundation: A system to support young Artist in the beginning of their creative career in an organised manner was the primary motto of Raza foundation. Raza was always interested in other art forms and he firmly insisted on aesthetical enrichment from the inter-disciplinary interactions.

Raza foundation emerged from the morality of this thought mutually conceived by Raza and Ashok Vajpeyi, which also exhibit and represents the philanthropy of Raza and vision of Ashok Vajpeyi. It is now a singular example of a foundation funded by a great artist and running on the vision of a great painter to celebrate other and other art forms.

Jatin Das MAR 2021 | 128

What was your first experience with/discovery of art?

I am originally from Baripada, Mayur Bhanj, a princely state in Odisha, on the east coast of India. I started painting from my early days but never thought of taking art as a profession. The word profession has innumerable connotations. I just always wanted to paint and draw, and so I continued doing it. At age 17, I almost ran away from home to study at Sir JJ School of Art, Bombay, under the tutelage of Professor S.B. Palsikar. It was there, in the cosmopolitan city of Bombay of the 1950s–60s that I began taking art seriously. Early on, I was exposed to tribal wall painting, palm-leaf drawings, innumerable crafts that we used at home…I have imbibed from all art forms - folk, tribal, classical, contemporary…everything.

Both Indian and western. My work guides me.

How do you see your own work?

I can’t explain my work at all. As I said, they are bare figures, there are normally one or two figures and there’s no reason for that! I don’t sit and think about my work. I work and I put it away. I only paint and draw human figures, bare, without embellishment, devoid of time and place. Without any architecture, without any narrative, so it’s quite difficult for people to be comfortable, to be familiar. If you do a Benares series, then you know it’s from the city of Benares and makes you feel comfortable. I don’t work like that. At times the work I did 10 or 20 years ago, rises again. So, it’s not necessary that all works must Padmashree Jatin Das be new, but they could be of the same family, is when you feel a body of work belongs together. That curation only an artist can do himself or with a very close friend, who has seen your work for 30-40 years. Nobody else can really do it, though now there are many curators and experts who do this.

But I think an artist knows the journey and must select his or her own work.

MAR 2021 | 129

Mural At Adani Residence Ahmedabad

What inspires you to paint?

I don’t use words like creativity, mood, inspiration. I feel everyday I am starting to paint for the first time. I assimilate from various visual cultures; traditional and contemporary.

I draw mainly human figures, completely devoid of embellishments and any reference to time and space. They are simply energised bare figures. I paint and capture elements that excite me, not just images but the flavour and smell of the place.

Years of observing and sketching culminate in the making of a line.

To etch, to draw and pull a line on a surface is to accept the challenge of an arrogant virgin space. It is like blood flowing through the tip of the nib. It is like a river flowing. The beginning and the end of a line is very important. Like a musical note… like the end of an arm-rest of a chair or the extremities of the human body as fingers and toes are. When I stop, I know whether the work stands… if not, it finds its way into the bin. When I finish a drawing, I wonder how it got done. The drawing draws itself.

MAR 2021 | 130

What do you think is a true marker of an artist?

I believe the strength of an artist is in his drawing. The power of creating a flowing line, without it being superfluous, is when a line meets another line, intersecting and flowing together, crisscrossing one line demanding another and so on; there is fusion and an energy. A ‘dead line’ destroys the flow creating a dead end.

Painting is also drawing. Drawing is also sculpting. It is a matter of creating negative and positive spaces. The ecstasy and the poetry of a line transcend tone and colour. Conté (compressed charcoal) has another dimension that of creating texture and tone in a singular line.

Where do you think your art begins from?

I digest all my angst and tension of my day to day life and bring it to my work. The body language reflects that and is related to my context. They’re not borrowed from anywhere though I suppose we imbibe and get influenced by many things around us that we are not even aware of. I never analyse what I am influenced by, whether an incident, a observation or even an artist, like people say, “ I am influenced by that artist”.

JD Portrait Show

Are there any key themes, messages or theories behind your work?

At another level I am influenced by every artist, by every part of nature, by everything around me.

I do my own work what I like, and what I don’t, I destroy. I paint in oils. I don’t like acrylic much but I’ve done some. I like to draw and do watercolours and when I draw with ink, often people ask, “did you study Japanese or Chinese ink paintings?” Of course, they have their masters in their inks but I’ve been handling ink since my art school days.

It’s an integral part of me. Funny how people ask, “you also draw?” Every artist must draw, paint, do murals, graphics everything.

You must do all kinds of things. Play with the mediums like a child.

I am primarily a figurative artist. I mostly draw and paint the human form, beyond time and space. I prefer painting single figures, but not always. There is no real reason behind why I do that. Maybe because I am a loner! The work guides me and it lives on its own merit. I derive a lot of my inspiration and energy from the working class. Those who push carts, break stones, toil hard and painstakingly work; their energy, bodies, feelings, inspire me. Yet, I wouldn’t say I have a ‘message’. I have deep social concerns, and sometimes I have responded through my work. For instance, I made close to 200 ink drawings during the lockdown on the plight of migrant workers. I have also donated to many social causes and to raise funds when there are natural calamities.

MAR 2021 | 131

Could you tell us a bit about your artistic approach?

(Style, medium and specific techniques.)

My works are not narrative. The human predicament comes out beyond any specific context of time and place. I work with the inherent human energy. My work is metaphoric, poetic, and suggestive, that is embedded in human figures. Normally, I don’t have any other elements of architecture, or foliage or animals, or any such element that makes it localised.

Though I have done thousands of sketches of

JD Jehangir Art Gallery

animals, plants, flowers and trees. I don’t think in terms of style. Style is what people see in an artist’s work. Though there is a style inherent in each individual. I just work on concepts and ideas that instinctively come to me. I work with oil, acrylic, watercolour, ink and Conté. I never use a ruler or an eraser, or make drafts to make them final. I just paint and draw as it comes to me. As a printmaker, I have produced many editions of etchings, dry point, lithograph, and serigraphs. I have also executed murals such as a 476 square-foot work at the Indian Parliament or the one at the Bangalore Airport. I have created large installations and sculptures at the Bhilai Steel Plant, Chhattisgarh among other places. I have also worked with ceramics.

MAR 2021 | 132

One sentence that best represents you as an artist.

I don’t label myself. My concepts, ideas and themes in my work are personal and my convictions, concerns and commitments are rooted in my culture, yet it doesn’t define me.

Mural at NCPGR New Delhi Inaugurated by President Adbul Kalam

Is the changing art scene the reason why you exhibiting so rarely?

To a large extent, yes. I also don’t feel so excited anymore. In Bombay I had so many of my friends – Sukhdev, Chari, Pratap Sharma, Dom Moraes, Leela Naidu, are just not there anymore. It’s like when a musician is singing and when he recognizes his friends in the audience he asks them to come in front as he knows they understand his music and will appreciate it.

So, when I have a show, I think who am I showing it to? Of course, the show is open to all, but you think of your friends and wonder what they would feel. It’s becomes a very personal experience.

The other reason why I don’t exhibit so much is that it has become a business, something else altogether. The dichotomy is that one still must show.

In Bombay I am exhibiting after 7 years.

I genuinely believe that any person in a creative field has to distance oneself from limelight and public for one’s own freedom and one’s privacy and space for one’s creative expression. I also don’t like giving interviews.

But if you have a show coming up, I guess you have no choice but to give interviews and spread the word. Otherwise there’s no reason to.

When and where is your next show?

For more than six months, I was stuck at home, like everyone else.

I could not go to my studio, where I usually work from morning to late evening. So I began doing ink paintings on the paper I had at home. All that I was seeing in newspapers, on television, also what I had observed over the years, all came pouring out. And this is the series that I called ‘Exodus’. A selection from that series is going to be shown at Art Alive Gallery from Feb 20th to March 15th 2020.

Bloom: Spring in Art & Empowerment Madhuri Bhaduri

MAR 2021 | 135

O

ne of the notions held by most people about spring is that it is the season of “rebirth” and “rejuvenation”. Spring denotes the kindness of nature, something that gives us pleasure and joy. Everything around once more looks fresh and lovely.

Since ancient times artists were admired by the beauty, freshness and power of tender spring. It was visualized by young women or expressed by bare nature and season social activities.

Many mythological motives refer to this season. Art is a deeply personal experience for me. Within the confines of my studio where each and every thing is either selected or created by me, I let my imagination take over. Drawing from memories and recollections, I am taken over by the intensity of the process, at times painting for hours on end to achieve the desired effect.

It is also my way of channelling the chaos of thoughts, moods

MAR 2021 | 136

and reflections that plague my mind. For me, every work encapsulates a ‘free flow of imagination and emotion’ that is borne out of an artist’s incessant need to discover and create. Along with an intuitive demarcation of space and subject matter, my canvases seem to bleed color. Vibrant reds, yellows and greens replace the usual blue skies in my landscapes creating a visually entrancing color palette that is almost therapeutic. My treatment of color involves using a variety of shades and hues that complement the mood of the painting itself. In other words, color is not simply a tool but an active element in my works, possessing a tangibility that translates into feeling. My paintings are reflective of what one is thinking and not just what one is seeing.

My primary motive is to create a pictorial space of multi-layered images and abstract forms that are deeply rooted in nature, but at the same time transcend the arboreal into a realm of magic realism. This carefully constructed illusion is the basic tenet behind all my works and my canvases function as windows into my illusory world, reigning in the viewer through its familiarity and spiritual charm. My art is meant to be a liberating experience. I myself thrive on the meditative and rejuvenating quality of my paintings and endeavour to achieve a perfect harmony of nature and imagination through my artworks. All I require from the viewer is

surrendering of the senses, so that I may take them on a voyage through the landscapes of my mind.

MAR 2021 | 137

As a woman my greatest achievement personally has been Living life entirely on my own, emotionally and financially, keeping my reputation, ethics and middle-class values in place, it was my strong spiritual beliefs which steered me through all the obstacles. To create a career in art where I had no mentor to guide and support or a family member who had any inclination in the field of Art, it was MAR 2021 | 138

purely my passion that drove me to where I am today. Working hard in the correct direction in a focused way which came from my earlier days of being a sports person. In life my inspiration has always been my mother who was the strongest lady, taught me how to be grounded and yet be focussed towards my achievements and always put the right sense of values and ethics in our upbringing.

I had no artist in the

family who could have paved a way for a profession or made me believe that art could be a profession.

I didn’t have the right environment where someone encouraged me to paint and take it seriously. It took me ten years after being well received by an audience to realise my potential. I had to find my own path and believe in it. Art is a very uncertain profession.

It is like walking on a road and not knowing where it leads. As a result, just because of passion, you brush these hindrances aside and pursue your path. Most women across the globe rely on the informal work sector for an income. If women were empowered to do more and be more, the possibility for economic growth becomes apparent.

Empowering women in developing countries is essential to reduce global poverty since women represent most of the world’s population.

Eliminating a significant part of a nation’s work force on the sole basis of gender can have detrimental effects on the economy of that nation. In addition, female participation

in counsels, groups, and businesses is seen to increase efficiency. In the soul’s journey it is self-reliance and self-belief which in turn empowers and makes one more confident. The emotional struggles that I faced also pushed the limits of my creativity and paved the way for my journey. My spirit, energy and optimism are expressed in my artworks.

MAR 2021 | 142

How do you manage work-life balance?

I enjoy painting, watching movies, and hanging around with friends. I am like any other youngster who enjoys getting their head down once in a while and party.

I learned that it’s important to maintain that balance because if one is too involved, either way, one starts burning out.

What makes you ace at what you do?

Hofbraeuhaus Wolters – German brewing tradition since 1672.

Hofbrauhaus Wolters was founded in 1672. The company is one of northern Germany’s oldest breweries. Since its founding, the Wolters brewery has been dedicated to making beer that meets Germany high quality requirements for the art of brewing. In recognition of the very high quality of all of the beers made

by Hofbraeuhaus Wolters, in 1882 the Duke of Brunswick awarded the company the title of ‘Brewers of the Ducal Court’.

Today Hofbraeuhaus Wolters is one of the most modern breweries in northern Germany. The latest technologies, highly qualified brewers and the use of the very finest ingredients form the foundation for the high quality standards Wolters products uphold. It goes without saying that Hofbraeuhaus Wolters crafts beers exclusively in accordance with the German Purity Law of 1516, which is the country’s oldest food regulation.

Wolters beers are brewed using secret, proprietary recipes. All of the ingredients come from Germany without exception, and are free of environmental pollution.

The purest waters of the Harz are exclusively used for brewing. The Harz is the biggest mountain range in northern Germany. Water from the Harz is of the best quality, free of interfering minerals and optimally suited for producing extraordinary beers. No maize, rice, acids, other chemicals are allowed in our beer.

Only Barley malt, natural water, hops and yeast. Hofbraeuhaus Wolters is the only brewery in northern Germany that uses this excellent water for beermaking.

All ingredients are subject to stringent quality control from their origin on down to their use in production. Hofbraeuhaus Wolters is certified in compliance with the rigorous IFS (international food standard) quality criteria. The quality and taste of Wolters products distinguish them as among Germany’s best beers. In its home region Wolters is by far the market leader, ahead of all its competitors.

GERMAN PURITY LAW German purity law mention - The Reinheitsgebot (German pronunciation: [ˈʁaɪnhaɪtsɡəboːt], literally “purity order”), is a series of regulations limiting the ingredients in beer in Germany and the states of the former Holy Roman Empire.

The best known version of the law was adopted in Bavaria in 1516, but similar regulations predate the Bavarian order, and modern regulations also significantly differ from the 1516 Bavarian version.

Stamp issued in 1983 celebrating the history of the Reinheitsgebot, and also commemorating its 450th anniversary.

BRUNONIA

BRUNONIA WEIZEN (wheat beer) Has a special brewing composition: more than 50% wheat malt, other valuable special malts and white beer yeast. Everyone loves it for its fruity taste.

With the brand name and the design of the can we would like to express the close historical connection of beer to our home town Braunschweig. Brunonia is the patron of Braunschweig and steers the horses and chariot of the Quadriga. Brandenburg Gate statue - Built between 1788 and 1791 by Prussian King Frederick William II as a key entry point to the city of Berlin, Brandenburg Gate was topped off with a statue known as the “Quadriga,” which depicted a statue of the goddess of victory driving a chariot pulled by four horses.

J.OPPMANN In 1833 at the age of fifteen, Michael Oppmann began his apprenticeship in the Hofkellerei.

In 1850, Michael Oppmann was able to open his own winery. Due to his quality products, he was soon appointed to deliver his wine to the Bavarian King. Other wineries were older than his, but his proved to be better.

Wine was a family business however and as a result, the name Oppmann, is still known as the champagne of Franconia. Sektkellerei J. Oppmann, as we know it today, was founded in 1865 by Michael’s nephew, Josef Oppmann.

His father Ludwig Oppmann also had a wine professional, he was the vineyard inspector in royal service.

Josef Oppmann acquired the art of making sparkling wine in the cellars of Champagne.

Champagne made by J. Oppmann got high awards at several World Fairs, such as 1871 in Vienna. At that time 100,000 bottles Oppmann sparkling wines were sold annually. Before the turn of the century, the company was converted into a corporation.The winery was named “royal purveyor”. Then the sekt was named “Sekt of the House” at world exhibitions in Paris, Vienna, Philadelphia and Sydney.

J.Oppmann is the Oldest Sparkling wine company and is still the supplier to the German Royals in Bavaria.

Manisha Singh

MANAGING DIRECTOR OF MAXIMUS COLLABS

How and when did you begin with Maximus Collabs?

Maximus Collabs came into existence accidentally when I stepped out of my job and was helping a friend with some of his production work but then realizing the possibilities. My interest in storytelling pushed me to form a company and put it all under this umbrella. We are diversified in storytelling in many ways and not just through ads and films but want to push the intangible essence of the brands we work with and help people connect with them, not only on a product or service level but emotional level too.

We took one day at a time and always pushed to give our best, clients showed faith, and we committed to it with all our head and heart.

I must say God has been kind, and we have been bestowed with some good quality work and will indeed strive to thrive.

MAR 2021 | 154

How did you know when you had the right idea?

The right idea was always brewing somewhere, but then you need a thrust to push yourself to be right in the center stage and then left with no option but to perform. I think this is what exactly happened to me also, and Maximus Collabs was born.

This will forever remain the purest labor of love and something that has empowered me heaps and bounds.

What made you choose this direction?

As I said, there was this undercurrent of storytelling, and an opportunity to do so always tempted us, and we grabbed it. We didn’t plan for anything; we took one day at a time and never boxed ourselves as a communication and content outlet; we wish to tell brand stories through various vehicles, be it events, films, cause, experiences, and more. Life for me is too short to try my hands on a few and leave most of the things unattended I want to explore maximum and want myself to be applied to the best ability.

One thing led to another, and there was no stopping, but at the core of all that we do, cause and public interest communication excite us the most.

MAR 2021 | 155

Did You Experience Failures? If So, What Did You Learn From Them?

Failure, for me, is always a stepping stone. I have learned and grown more from them than what success could ever do to me; there are still teething issues, and more than that, we were also entering unexplored territories, and the initial few months were nothing but colossal learning and us improvising on them.

For someone whose core is never to give up, it was not very difficult, but I was determined to make it work, and today, when I look back, and when people tell me that the work put across in a year wherein we were right in the middle of a pandemic too, the journey so far look satisfying and gives me the faith that we have miles to go before we sleep.

I am forever a learner and hold a lot of gratitude for everything life has given me - the good, bad, and even the ugly and there are learning from all of them, and they all together help me form my way forward in life. I keep them all very close to me.

MAR 2021 | 156

Location- Maidan, Kolkata.

What do you do for encouragement or to be motivated?

All the motivation in the world comes from within you are your best critic and the most important cheerleader too. You need to know when to be a good cop and when to be a bad one.

In this journey, I have been blessed with a good team who keep me grounded and also help convert things into breathing reality.

Have support from friends and family who are happy to see me thrive and who see Maximus Collabs’ success as theirs too.

There are a few exceptionally inspiring women I had the chance to learn from, and they have helped me understand a fundamental principle very rightly that a woman is beyond

a homemaker and nanny. I wanted to ensure I don’t hold them as excuses in creating the life I envisaged for myself, and it’s not made of materialistic things but made of kicks you get out of doing some real work. I am glad I could stand by my choices and did not let anyone’s opinion matter.

What’s your most significant piece of advice for female entrepreneurs?

Being a female in this society itself comes with its set of challenges. Female entrepreneurs, of course, are uphill and how. The most significant piece of advice I want to share is to all the women out there to support each other, don’t judge each other, and create a cohesive coexistence. When women support women, this world will be a more beautiful place to be.

How do you balance your work life with your personal life?

Well, this is a question I wish I were not answering, but then it’s essential to address this too. I have been single and living out of my family for a couple of years now, so all that at this time of life demands a lot of work and 100 % commitment towards that.

But I wish to walk down the memory lane and take the readers through a time that I was

juggling between work, family (huge), and a kid its a thankless job, and for life, you put into making this work, you are still judged and questioned. After nine years, one day, it’s just so happened that I hanged my boots and gave up something that still is a part of my core.

Putting this out here is an alarm for all the people working and non-working; there are a balance and self-worth that you should never let go of. We have one life to make it all count, and the count starts from us.

THE BURBERRY AFFAIR ARTICLE BY OJASWI RAKESH

MAR 2021 | 166

The iconic British luxury brand Burberry revealed that it had burnt its own goods worth €28.5 million in 2017.

From 2013 to 2018, Burberry burned €100 million of its own bags, clothes and perfumes.

This resulted in a massive boycott campaign against the brand. In the years following the outrage against incineration, Burberry vowed to adopt friendlier disposal practices.

Scarcity drives the economy, take it up a notch and it drives luxury.

Why do brands burn their new products?

Almost all luxury brands indulge in demolishing (burning mostly) their own goods. Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Richemont, H&M, Chanel have all admitted to incinerating or shredding their products to maintain the dignity of their offering.

They do so to avoid counterfeiting, black market sales and stealing since these devalue the brand. Shredding and dumping does not work most of the times since it involves more effort.

Donations don’t work out either since they devalue the brand further.

Distant donations were once being made to Africa, South America, Asia, etc. but they were stopped since the heavy inflow of foreign goods was hazards to the indigenous industries.

Moreover, sales aren’t organized since it isn’t about selling. It’s about maintaining the prestige the brand brings to the table. Though a luxury product goes for hundreds or thousands of dollars yet it does not necessarily cost that much to make.

The customer pays for the brand not just the product.

In simpler words, brands burn to ensure luxury persists; Luxury is exclusivity after all, isn’t it?

MAR 2021 | 167

Fashion & the Environment

The global fashion industry is one of the major environmental pollutants.

Incineration of new, never-wornbefore and perfectly wearable products adds insult to injury.

MAR 2021 | 168

The Burberry Affair in a way reinforced the value of the environment in people’s minds. Burning unsold stock wasn’t seen as anything significant until the numbers (in dollars) came out. Though incineration of unsold stock isn’t really a ‘nicely kept industry secret’, its blatant admission did cause a public outcry.

Luxury aside, let’s speak fashion and the environment. The practices of Recycling & Upcycling are progressing by the day. Newer, more efficient and productive practices of disposal are being developed and implemented as well. As consumers become more environment conscious so do brands.

Bethany Williams, Doodlage, Ecoalf, Re;code, Zurita, Suave, Beyond Retro, Re/Done, Patagonia, Fanfare, Ruby Moon, /id/, Zero Waste Daniel and Bundgaard Nielsen are some of the up-and-coming fashion brands of tomorrow producing all their clothes by recycling and using the waste.

Going back to Burberry; the brand messed up its public persona and incited mass hysteria when it revealed the incineration.

Later, to suppress the outcries, Burberry accepted the flaws in its practices and pledged to reduce disposal and devise ecofriendly measures to dispose, if the need be. Whether it keeps good on its promise or not, we’ll see when the time comes.

This Women’s Day, make yourself a priority Article by Dr.Rebecca Pinto

M

ost of our life revolves around the people we love, and amidst this, we forget to give time and love to ourselves. We attend work every day, get dinner prepared for our families, run errands, and act as a taxi, all for the sake of affection. We are inspired to try to do the additional things we do because it’ll benefit those we love. When you truly love someone, it’s easy to place their wants and wishes before your own. When you are in love, being with your significant other is more important than anything else in the world. Love for others is a wonderful thing, but we must love

MAR 2021 | 170

ourselves, too. Loving ourselves means doing everything we will form ourselves healthy and whole. It means eating foods that nourish and satisfy our hunger.

Loving yourself means staying active, keeping all of your organs, especially your heart, performing at top condition. It means seeing your doctor

regularly and following his or her advice. Loving yourself means taking care of yourself.

There is nothing more inspiring than love. When you love another, you want to make them happy.

When you are happy, it is easy to make others happy. Dedicating time to yourself is a method to channel your happiness and contentment. Making your body as healthy as possible is a real sign that a woman cares for and loves herself. True beauty is inspired by love, and what could be more beautiful than a lady who cares for herself as well as those around her? A woman, who nurtures her family, is loyal to her friends, reaches out to neighbors, and devotes time to herself. Set aside time each day just for yours.

Spend time reading, writing, and taking note of music that you enjoy.

Allow yourself time for your thoughts and your affirmations. Make time for yourself every day. You deserve as much of yourself as you give to others. Be sure to get at least 3 hours of exercise each week.

Whether you exercise alone, together with your husband or your children, or with a lover, the time spent exercising should be added to the time you put aside for yourself. Finding all this point won’t be easy, but you’re important, and it’s time you made some special time for yourself. You probably won’t find the time, so it is up to you to make the time. Remember, you are in control, so take charge.
