The winter season at its peak in the city and it is important to take care of one’s health, skin and hair. Constantly exposed to pollution, most people already have a pre-existing routine for their skin but hair requires a lot of experimentation. We speak to experts who outline easy tips to keep your hair nourished. When one talks about pollution, it is hard to ignore that it also enters our homes on a regular basis. Luckily for us, plants are our saviours not only outdoors but also indoors and experts tell you how to work with them.
With January being celebrated as Veganuary, in our third article for the series, we delve into vegan cheese, a trend that has been taking over the world. Experts not only tell you how to prepare it but also share its nutritional values as you adopt the vegan lifestyle. The winter comes with its own delicious fruits and vegetables but one can agree that while some are clear favourites, others aren’t preferred as much. This week, city chefs share unique recipes that people can follow using custard apples to make sweet as well as savoury dishes.
The last week of the first month of the year also sees Indians celebrate National Tourism Day on January 25. As ecotourism gains momentum, there are people who are taking sustainable vacations and a group of cyclists are among many to do so. In yet another discovery for our fortnightly series ‘Shelf Life’ that maps reading spaces and people involved in building a culture in Mumbai, we talk to Himanshu and Aqui Thami, the duo who run Bombay Underground, an initiative that has been encouraging reading while spearheading the zine culture in the city.
Here is a full list of the features from this week:
