Day 3 of India Runway Week - Thyagraj Stadium - Delhi




Sunday was quite fun as I visited the Day 3 which was also the finale week of India Runway Week at Thyagraj Stadium. My love for fashion is not known to many but you all know my love for stories. So in hunt of new stories and for a greater insight into the fashion World, I headed to the IRW, which is an upcoming name in the Indian fashion scene. 

Of all the shows listed on the schedule chart, the one which caught my eye was Akassh Aggarwal's theme. So Akassh is a famous jewelry designer and his show's theme was  “Changing Phase Of Feminism”. Interesting, I said to myself and went ahead to the show. Must say, the room was jam packed. Such was the buzz for his show. 

The showstopper at his show was none other than actress Swara Bhaskar who stunned us all with a heavy jeweled look from Akassh's new collection. I liked its name, "Tribe Vibe Collection."

The philosophy behind this was Bohemian Self Love, a portrayal of women standing up the society which has always looked down upon them. Even the designs somehow gave you that rebellious, upright feel. 

Akassh himself was all beaming and I must say, his vision is truly commendable. To put up with such theme for story sake is much easy. To put it into an art form like jewelry is much tough. But his expression of his social beliefs through his work was quite impressive.

The collection is Vibrant that goes well with the depiction of PEROI's Old Tribal Art and Jadaufine techniques in filigree motif, stamped lightweight metal sheet work, embossed 3D and Metallics Gold & Silver with ORGANIC Gemstones like Turquoise, Coral, Pearls and Lapiz Lazzuli. An assortment of Multiple Accessories variety gave the collection a versatility to be worn on ethnic as well with modern wear. 


Indian women are now defying old age traditions and establishing their name in the society. If Akassh'smotive was to pay tribute to these bold and fierce women, he definitely succeeded in that. The thunderous applauds at the conclusion of his show clearly stated that. 







All in all, it was a great show and an experience in itself. The hard work put in by the designers and the team showed and essence of fashion with a meaning was clearly shown.

Press 9 for a Crime by Shailendra Jha— Can a family fight a scam empire?

I read Shailendra Jha’s Press 9 for a Crime with my late-night lamp on; it’s a razor-sharp, humane thriller set between East Delhi and scam hubs in Southeast Asia . Fast, funny, and disturbingly real, it follows Aseem’s risky rescue of his missing brother. This review analyses theme, craft, character work and why the book both alarms and entertains and lingers. Why did this book grab me at once? Have you ever opened a book at midnight because the world outside felt suddenly less interesting than the danger on the page? That was me with Press 9 for a Crime . As someone who reads a lot of thrillers, believable stakes, and characters I care about. Jha gives me both within the first ten pages. The opening scenes place you in a cramped East Delhi neighbourhood and you instantly feel the hum of small-town hopes: the son who promises escape through a “job in Bangkok”, the ledger of family debts, the refrigerator light in a kitchen where dreams are rationed. Jha’s background in journa...

A Mozart sits at a piano before he can properly write his own name. A Tendulkar seems destined to hold a cricket bat. A Viswanathan Anand appears to calculate combinations with supernatural ease. These stories reassure us because they reduce excellence to destiny. If genius is a gift bestowed upon a fortunate few, then the rest of us are sp...
