MC Recommends: A book of heirloom recipes, a small batch gin and NH7 Weekender in Pune
Luxury as a concept isn’t limited to the material anymore; its definition now encompasses the luxury of experiences too—of health and wellbeing, of nostalgia and that which is lost to time, of slowing down and savouring life as it is, of indulging in things that bring joy. Keeping this updated definition of luxury in mind, this week we turn the spotlight on a fitness ring for all-round health monitoring, a limited-edition gin to enjoy by the moonlight, an exhibition of pottery and ceramics, a book of heirloom recipes, and India’s happiest music festival.
