Some of our team members have been with us since the inception of this magazine, we thank them deeply, and it’s
a moment of joy for us to look back and reflect. As we celebrate this milestone, it gives me immense
pleasure to share that the parent organization of this magazine has established a new fashion and

The first centre of IFCT has been set up in District Mohali, Punjab. Back to the edition, our August edition cover features Sunny Leone, who talks about her life as a wife, mother and actor.

Another interesting article by artist Lippi Parida on JP DAS (IAS) and his magnum opus book called ‘A Time Elsewhere’ is a delight to read. A story on Prof (Dr) Sameer Aggarwal, Department of Orthopaedics, PGIMER, Chandigarh, is my personal favourite. Such high is his efficiency, that even before I arrived for his interview, his homework was stronger than mine (what we call backgrounding in journalism!).
A dynamic, workaholic multifaceted personality- is how I describe him! The edition also includes a candid conversation with legendary cricketer Kapil Dev; who insisted our photographer to click him just the way he was-naturally! Hope you enjoy reading the edition.

‘Royalty in the Modern Times’ column.Even as we live in a democratic setup where the government has long ago taken back titles and other belongings from royal families all over India, her nature, persona, and grace will encourage one to call her ‘Maharani’ Preneet Kaur, the incumbent Member of Parliament from Patiala (Punjab). Married to Captain Amarinder Singh, former CM of Punjab with royal ancestry, she has been an Ex-Minister of State for External Affairs with the Government of India. Honestly, I was
charmed by her presence of mind, intelligence, and extremely caring attention towards her guests. The staff at New Moti Bagh Palace, Patiala, where her interview was scheduled, vouches for her compassionate and caring nature. ‘It doesn’t matter whether it’s a helper or a gardener.

The LIfestyle Journalist Magazine Nov edition 2022

Come October, and Indian streets are abuzz with festive lights and colours! People from different parts of the country are immersed in varied festive activities. Rising from the dismal performance of the past, the Indian film industry is also witnessing an upsurge of movement with new, exciting dramas and movies coming up both on OTT and in cinemas. Our October edition has an exclusive interview of Sanjeeta Bhattacharya, a young musician, songwriter and now an actor- who hails from a family of artists and is all set to become a big name!

Additionally, the edition features Mouni Roy, who plays the antagonist (Junoon) in the Hindi film Brahmastra. She looks gorgeous in her orange outfit on the cover, and an interesting interview follows on the inside pages. An interesting column by artist and columnist Lippi Parida talks about the book ‘Leaves from a Bureaucrat’s Diary’ and its author Smita Shah. Smita, the wife of one of India's most distinguished bureaucrats, Rajeeva Ratna Shah, has penned this excellent book. Hailed by the National press as a lady with a healing touch', Smita's book looks at the IAS (Indian
Administrative Service) through the eyes of the spouse- the real cats. Smita decides to coin the word “Bureaucat” (with a CAT, not CRAT!) when a lady turns her head away in a very catty way when she learns that Smita's husband is three years her husband's junior! The edition also includes some interesting articles on Diwali décor, wedding couture and Pet lovers. I hope you enjoy reading it!

The September edition of The Lifestyle Journalist includes some high-profile interviews as TLJ prepares to emerge as India’s favourite lifestyle magazine, covering constructive, positive, stylish, educative and informative news across all walks and genres of people’s life. Our columnist Mrs Lippi Parida has interviewed Lt Gen AK Singh, former Lt Governor of Andaman & Nicobar Islands, who has written a marvellous book, ‘Men of Steel’, along with Maj Gen Yash Mor. The column and his interview are inspiring and worth reading. The edition features Prof Meenu Singh, the new Executive Director of AIIMS Rishikesh. She may not be the first woman heading an AIIMS institute but is undoubtedly one of the most enterprising female doctors in public health. Her training in the US helped her work with an unconventional twist, and she believes in keeping doors open for her students to create a relaxed atmosphere of open discussion. World Cardiology Day on September 29; the edition was incomplete without profiling a medical veteran from the cardiology field. Dr HK Bali, a famous name in this field, discusses a fascinating aspect. He explains how and why one can save oneself from harming heart health. The news of celebrities who collapsed after or while gyming has been coming lately, and it does cast a question mark on what is the right way forward. Dr Bali very nicely guides on how to balance exercise and also keep your heart healthy! A special segment dedicated to organic farming in the September edition profiles young organic farmers across India and the region. Their stories, struggles and ideas. It is wonderful to see how organic vegetable markets have flourished and now become a norm in India. But, going back to the roots is undoubtedly the way forward.

Here in this edition, mothers share their side of the story. In addition, a leading international blogger on
parenting, Vicki Broadbent, shares her journey in which childbirth trauma led her to voice her ideas and experiences. In another interesting column, a

about our health and happiness. The World Health Day (April 7) is not just

excellent idea. Veterans and experts from AIIMS, New Delhi and Director Rae Bareli (UP) give us some fascinating tips and tricks to make a
positive effort towards keeping fit! Other experts and masters from the medical profession also share their insights into their fitness mantra. To balance this out and for those obsessed about health and fitness- we must add that it is essential not to be a fanatic or feverish about anything.

Women Special Edition

The daredevil spirit, the ability to create and nurture, and the capacity to multi-task; all comes naturally to a woman. Here in this edition, we capture some illustrious women of substance. A special highlight of the edition is the interview of Mrs Meenakshi Kekhi Ji, Minister of State for External Affairs and Culture, India and current Member of Parliament from Delhi. The interesting inputs about her journey are sure to inspire young political workers and young women in general. ‘The power of perseverance’ is how I chose to title her story since her journey is all about perseverance. The story is a salute to her spirit to carry her branded outfits and accessories gracefully (which comes naturally due to her background) and her ability to drop them when needed to be a ground worker for her party and for the people.  

 The edition carries interviews of women in the Indian Army and other illustrious female pilots, who have exciting stories to share about their lives. 

 I hope you enjoy the edition and stay inspired!

August 2021 Edition - Dedicated to Stalwarts!

﻿
The August 2021 edition is very special because of the exceptional, engaging interviews. From leading ecologists to media stalwarts, senior bureaucrats and young politicians, it covers an array of the societal segment. Media educationist and stalwart Prof KG Suresh shares his thoughts on contemporary media, the rising job insecurity, about multi-tasking as the new mantra for conventional journalists to survive.  The inside pages have an interesting story of a young politician- Mr Arun Sood, who, as a teenager, was shaken by the bloodshed in his hometown Moga, Punjab, in 1989. The loss of
his classmate in the tragic massacre and being awestruck by the grit and determination of Swayamsevak’s brought him to RSS and eventually to mainstream politics. He narrates interesting insights into his journey and how he reached his current portfolio.  The new Advisor to the Chandigarh Administrator and senior IAS officer, Mr Dharam Pal, carries his silence and sunglasses effortlessly! Making the system ‘hassle free’ for the public
is top on his agenda. An interesting conversation with him and his family is a significant part of the edition.  As we celebrate our anniversary this month and enter the 6th year of TLJ Magazine’s publication (backed by 15 years of rich journalism experience), we hope you will enjoy the edition!

Mother’s Day Special- Supremely! May 2021

With the culmination of Chaitra Navratri, a rather festive occasion in Indian homes (a subtle salutation to the feminine divine energy within us all), we dedicate the month of May to the Mothers on the planet! While our nation battles the second, and the dreadful wave of COVID-19, reading these rather light-hearted, exciting stories on mothers may be a relief at home for you. 

Diipa Buller-Khosla, India’s Global Influencer, who will be a mother soon (even as I write this note), is a perfect fit on our cover for May 2021 edition. We have captured her bond with her mother in the cover interview. Diipa is an inspiration to millions of young fashion bloggers in India and across the globe. The edition covers some leading moms, some beautiful moms and interesting articles from other genres as well. 

A special column on taking care of Diabetes patient, if you have one at your home, might catch your attention. An interesting project is underway on Diabetes reversal, and if that is successful, it will bring relief to scores of diabetes patients who will be relieved to reverse the condition! 


We hope you enjoy the edition!

The April 2021 edition is dedicated to Good Health. So much is said and advised on what to do and what not, that it is easy to get lost in this pool of information! What leading doctors (especially from public institutions like AIIMS and PGIMER) follow in their daily routine is worth reading. April 7 is World Health Day, and throughout the last year, all that everyone is talking about is “Immunity and “heath”! These two words seem to have become a staple and used at the drop of a hat! Especially when our food, water, soil and air are all polluted, one finds severe medical conditions in each household. Good health, we concur, is a birthright, and for that having a clean environment- in all ways- is imperative. Only when the collective consciousness of the society awakens can change come about! We bring some exciting interviews and health tips from select doctors of leading public institutions and other interesting articles on preventive health care and more. Jasmin Bhasin has climbed the popularity ladder with her stint in Big Boss. An interesting cover interview follows. 

I hope you will enjoy the health segment and do give us your feedback.

The return of Coronavirus could prove detrimental to the revival of everyday lifestyle. So be cautious, get yourself vaccinated and trust your government.
Also, as suggested, being vaccinated doesn't mean one can be carefree or careless! Social distancing and mask are the way forward for a while.

a self-achiever is apt for the March Women's Day Special edition. The edition includes some exciting interviews of inspirational women- both young and old. Articles are dedicated to women- be it best luxury watches for them
or best luxury car options for women. The edition also has a fascinating column on 'The Prophecy of Raja Ravi Varma' by leading artist Lippi Parida- a must-read for all! The writer elucidates how one's fortune is hidden in one's name.
I hope you enjoy the edition!

Last month, a significant transition in world history was the swearing-in ceremony of American President Joe Biden and Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris. The world had its eyes on the global affair, and the fashion statement set by the ladies and gentlemen of Biden-Harris clan did not disappoint the followers! The colour of the outfits chosen, the pocket squares, the pearl jewellery used through the election campaign, and the oath day hinted at the styleconscious and style-setter new America leadership! It looks like there will be more exciting style statements swanked by the duo as they work along. The February 2021 edition is an amalgamation of stories on love, fashion, art and entertainment. The shopping pages give a glimpse of the
latest retail segment, while movies and book suggestions are always handpicked for the readers thoughtfully! An interesting story on the journey of a leading artist and Tarot reader- Lippi Parida deserves a special mention. Hailing from a family of top bureaucrats, she has carved a niche for herself through social contributions. She was actively involved in raising funds for those in need during COVID-19 pandemic through her art, and one has
to meet this vibrant lady to know the depth of her artwork! I hope you enjoy the edition. Do send in your feedback and suggestions. They mean a lot and are carefully studied!

After the pangs of COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, which refuse to die down even now given a new strain, there are high hopes from the year 2021.
Personally, professionally and globally- for all. World peace, harmony, and good health are on everyone’s mind! From the entertainment sector to the fashion business and small businesses, losses and crises have been for
all. 2021 thus is aptly being thought to be a year of hope! Elli AviRam, a Swedish actor and model, with her ravishing photo-shoot is a perfect cover protagonist. The Indian entertainment business has attracted overseas talent for years now. Bollywood, in particular, has been a prized destination.
The January edition of TLJ is full of varied articles- from business to factsheets to festive shopping. Hope you enjoy reading and do send us your feedback/ suggestions.

The year 2020 has almost become synonymous with words like ‘survival’, ‘pandemic’ and ‘crisis’ in many ways. Bidding adieu to this year brings some solace but only with the hope of getting rid of COVID-19 and praying such global crises do not resurface in future! People’s lifestyle underwent drastic and dramatic change during the pandemic times, the media witnessed a dramatic change and the Hindi film industry witnessed a bigger hit and a bigger change. 2021 will surely come with gazillion hopes of business and lives coming back to normal. TLJ December cover protagonist is the primetime queen and actor Karishma Tanna.

With the NCB mellowing down on drug crack-down on celebs and SSR case taking a backseat (for good or for bad!), the entertainment and Hindi Film industry can now breathe back to normal and plan its future ahead! A host of projects were stalled, held up, and shelved due to the commotion happening since June 2020. Meanwhile, the Fashion industry, both in India and across the globe, is geared up to cater to the new age working-class people! As COVID-19 graph shows promise of subsiding, people are most certainly longing to march back to a normal life. Financial deficits will remain a primary consideration and acceptance of fashion will change accordingly for sure. Daisy Shah, on our cover page, looks just gorgeous! From being stereotyped about her launch in Hindi films (opposite Salman Khan), to creating her own identify…she has come a long way. The cover story is an interesting piece with insights into her life, work & more. For fashion enthusiasts, Versace 2021 spring collection is to look out for in this November edition. Hope you will enjoy reading!


Whether or not from the Hindi Film Industry, idols and role models have to be real! Those who walk the talk. The recent drug cartel revelations, I would conveniently use this language picking it from my fellow media friends on news channels, has stunned the nation. COVID-19 and China-LAC seem like issues which anyhow the PM will take care of! Everyone is more worried about Bollywood and SSR Death case and well, that’s how it is! Demand and supply in news business go hand in hand. If analogies are drawn, the trickle-down and trickle-up theories of fashion go hand-in-hand in the news business. For years, brutal murders in Bollywood were covered up under suicide veils, Jiah Khan's murder is a case in point. But now a segment of fearless Indian media has taken things forward and refuses to hold back on any names! However big they may be. The financial independence of media for sure brings this fearlessness. We at TLJ, stand strong with fair and fearless media. Right from its inception, the spirit of clean and high-quality journalism has been alive at TLJ and is most certainly our trademark. Taking this indomitable spirit further, TLJ October 2020 edition is dedicated to strong women, strong people. Richa Chadha on the cover is one such face. She doesn’t let controversies bog her down and perturb her. Read the pages inside to know more.

She played the role of Nagmati, the first queen of King Ratan Sen in the famous Bollywood movie Padmavat, and was spotted in Tiger Zinda hai as Poorna in the year 2017.  With such big movies backing her acting career, Anupria Goenka appears to have a bright future in films, despite starting late in her acting career. The cover story unravels facets of Anurpria’s life, who has been financially supporting her family since a long time.

The edition includes special stories on good health- remarkable benefits of coconut water, the one tree pharmacy- Neem oil and its stupendous benefits, among others. There is an interesting column on social media fake follower trend among celebrities- what is the need and why do celebs fake these followers? Learn how engagement rate determines your real popularity & much more…read the rules of sound sleep and some new yoga apps to check out.Meanwhile we hope and pray that justice is delivered in SSR death case and the truth comes out! A moment of true reflection and time to rebuild our perspective about the Hindi Film Industry and its stakeholders.

August is our birthday month and ‘The Lifestyle Journalist’ has been making untiring and sincere efforts to keep good lifestyle and fashion journalism alive! We thank the readers and people who have been tremendously supportive of this endeavour. We promise to bring the best of lifestyle content in the coming years as well. In the subsequent edition, we shall be carrying more on the new education reforms brought about by the Government of India, which after decades have arrived like a beacon of hope for the outdated educations system that was being followed! The editor’s letter will be incomplete without a mention to the Late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. There is an uncanny mystery surrounding the death of the SSR and his untimely demise has broken a million hearts. Twitter is flooded with tweets and his fans have just not been able to get over the tragic end. But the public pressure is certainly heading in the direction of unravelling the mystery and the truth is bound to bring changes. Starting from Kangana
Ranaut, the whistleblower in this case, to now senior advocates and Dr Subramanaium Swamy putting evidence on twitter showing why it doesn’t hint to a suicide and could possibly be a murder. TLJ subsequent editions will be carrying more on SSR and the ongoing developments. Read this August 2020 edition further for stimulating stories on international models and personalities, good books, latest merchandise, among others. The cover interview on actor Zareen Khan, who got her first break opposite Salman Khan in the epic movie ‘Veer’, who defied the remarks about her being ‘average’ and ‘no expressions’ by media journals, and she has most certainly carved her niche with her determination and impeccable looks. Her journey is worth a read.
