The verdant campus of The Yoga Institute (TYI) in Santa Cruz presents an uncommon sight in Mumbai. Trees shade every available open space, and the atmosphere is one of mindfulness. Step into this minimalist space, and you might forget that you are in Maximum City.
In late June, TYI hosted a seminar that saw the coming together of two unlikely subjects-yoga and personal finance. THE WEEK-Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund seminar series on personal finance had picked 'Holistic Wellness for Life' as the theme. And, there could not have been a better venue than The Yoga Institute (TYI), which was established in 1918 and is regarded to be the oldest organised yoga centre in the world.
The panel comprised K.S. Rao, executive vice president and head of investor education at Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC Ltd; Amit Trivedi, personal finance expert and founder of Karmayog Knowledge Academy; and Rajendra Kalur, management consultant, and chairperson of the CFA Society of India.
The invocation to the divine was led by Shailesh S. Parikh of TYI; Shree Kumar Menon, THE WEEK's resident chief general manager in Mumbai; and the panellists. Rao then took the audience through a quick introduction to the theme. Following this, the panel discussion began.

William Dalrymple goes further back
Indian readers have long known William Dalrymple as the chronicler nonpareil of India in the early years of the British raj. His latest book, The Golden Road, is a striking departure, since it takes him to a period from about the third century BC to the 12th-13th centuries CE.
The bleat from the street
What with all the apps delivering straight to one’s doorstep, the supermarkets, the food halls and even the occasional (super-expensive) pop-up thela (cart) offering the woke from field-to-fork option, the good old veggie-market/mandi has fallen off my regular beat.

Upgrade your jeans
If you don’t live in the top four-five northern states of India, winter means little else than a pair of jeans. I live in Mumbai, where only mad people wear jeans throughout the year. High temperatures and extreme levels of humidity ensure we go to work in mulmul salwars, cotton pants, or, if you are lucky like me, wear shorts every day.
