A trinket a day

The Delhi Art Gallery stood proud in Mumbai's Kala Ghoda in a three-story all-white curyear, all eyes were on the golden space, wondering who its next resident would be. Probably because of sky-high rentals, the new tenant was not a flashy fashion label peddling destination wedding-wear, like so many in the neighbourhood, but a young jewellery brand that introduced to India a new design language.

Love in the time of conflict

Love conquers all is a trite phrase, and it is doubtful if it is true except in sweeping paperback romances. It is certainly true in Achala Moulik's Phantom Lovers, consisting of two novellas. And why should it not? After all, if such conquering love does not exist, at least on paper, what ideal should mankind strive towards?

The bold Borwankar

Legendary top cop Julio Ribeiro, 92, penned an interesting column recently, in which he bracketed two very different women-a top cop (Meeran Chadha Borwankar) and the much-discussed TMC MP Mahua Moitra. Frankly, I cannot think of two women who are more dissimilar, but I loved Ribeiro's very modern take on both.

DISCUSSIONS ABOUT A NEW CONSTITUTION SHOULD BE THROTTLED AT THE START

There is an old-world charm to the spacious drawing room in the south Delhi home of the grand old man of Indian law. The vintage furniture, the stone-covered accent wall, ceramic souvenir plates, China figurines collected over the years, family photographs from different decades and an old clock going tick-tock evoke nostalgia for a time gone by.
