Enter February, and all we begin to think about are relationships and love, lost friends, and heartache. But in today’s fast-paced and busy world, finding the time and energy to focus on our relationships can be challenging. From work and career obligations to social media and technology to the never-ending list of activities and responsibilities that we must attend to, we are continuously bombarded with distractions and demands on our time.

As a result, many of us may neglect our relationships or struggle to maintain the same level of connection and intimacy we once had with our loved ones.

We are so busy trying to multitask, be socially active and lead the perfect life that we end up missing the small joys of life. We don’t even have that ten minutes to sit and chat with our kids who get back home from school, and instead, we chase them off to the next activity or hobby class like their life depends on it. All your child probably wants to do is sit down and have a chat or even watch a mindless YouTube video at home. Partnering apart, we don’t even have time for our parents anymore. We are so lost as individuals that we have forgotten how to prioritise. All it takes is a conscious effort to make time for what matters, be it relationships or even a set career, it’s all in our hands, and all it requires is being intentional.

Moving on to the issue, we have none other than Manushi Chhillar, former Miss World and actress, gracing the cover. With a big lineup of films this 2023, she talks about how every aspect of her journey has been challenging. “Anything that you do in life or anything that you start needs a lot of work, a lot of patience, and a lot of effort,” she shares.

In this issue, we've got a great lineup of articles and interviews that we think you'll enjoy. We hope you enjoy our content curation, from entrepreneurial journeys, food discoveries, shopping picks, fashion ideas for the festive season, and many more.

As always, we value your feedback, so please don't hesitate to reach out to us with your thoughts and suggestions. Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to connecting with you again in our next issue.

Happy reading!
