FROM THE EDIT ROOM

HERE’S TO NEW BEGINNINGS As the ending of the monsoons come closer, it brings with it a sense of melancholic spirits of the year nearing its end and our bodies and souls growing older. It also brings with it a hope of fresh starts and new adventures for this year’s finish and the new year’s beginning. The thing with life is, when something ends, there’s always an opening for new things to look forward too.

ON COVER

The festivities start off with Ayudha Puja which teaches us an important lesson: every tool that you use whether it’s in agriculture, industry or whatever else, you must approach it and use it respectfully – respect not only yourself but also others and everything around you – now that’s something we can all learn from especially in this generation. This is followed by Gandhi Jayanti, a day to honour the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi and his teachings.

Up next is Durga Puja a.k.a Navratri for the rest of India. This is a big festival in West Bengal especially in the city of Kolkata. A week prior to the festival the city gears up wearing a look of anticipation and excitement to welcome

Ma Durga home. During these 10 days of worshipping Goddess Durga, the city of Kolkata transforms into a splendour of lights and colours. The marvellously sculpted idols are brought into their homes, which are magnificently decorated public pandals.

Apart from the lit-up streets and pandals, one can also see the tiniest toddlers to toothless grannies all decked up in their newest and finest clothing enjoying mouth-watering Bengali savoury and sweet delicacies and going pandal hopping (a famous tradition in Kolkata). Two other customs to look out for here are dhonochi naach - a dance performed using mud-based jugs with burning coal and shidur khala – where married women (wearing a white sari with a red border – Bengali traditional sari) play with vermilion and apply it on each other (it’s like playing Holi, but with vermillion).

But like I said earlier with another ending something new takes its place – Diwali, the Festival of Lights fills us up with more joy and optimism for new beginnings.

Until next time…

Meanwhile, do engage with us on our social media platforms at facebook.com/whatsbrandnew; twitter.com/whatsbrandnew; instagram.com/whatsbrandnew; www.whatsbrandnew.com The Roadster Life Co from the house of Myntra launches their latest Time Trvlr Collection this season.

Complimenting each of the drinks is the Anglo-Indian spread that The Whitefield Arm boats
