Mother’s Day is celebrated worldwide on different days and months, usually in the months of March or May. In India, Mother’s Day will be celebrated on 8th May this year. The celebration is to honour and recognise the significance of mothers, maternal bonds, and mother’s impact on a family or individual. Our film industry has time and again saluted mothers through various movies. Let us have a look at some of them.
Karan Arjun
We cannot not talk about this movie, the bond a mother shares with her sons Karan and Arjun. “Mere Karan Arjun Aayenge” is definitely the most iconic dialogue of Indian cinema to date. This movie starred Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Rakhee in lead roles.
Deewar
“Mere Pass Maa Hain” is still used as a reference in our conversations. The role of the mother essayed by Nirupa Roy to her sons, played by Amitabh Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor.
Mom
Sridevi’s character Devki sets out to get revenge on her stepdaughter’s rapists, who are acquitted by the court. The role of a strong mother who would go miles for justice was well played by the legendary actress.
Mimi
Journey of a surrogate mother who decides to still have the baby when the couple backs out. For sure, a story that had not been told before in Bollywood. Kriti Sanon aces the role of Mimi and the struggles she has to go through.
Nil Battey Sannata
A relationship between a mother, Chanda, played by Swara Bhaskar and her daughter Apeksha played by Riya Shukla. When Apeksha starts hating her studies, Chanda takes admission to her class to motivate her. Though it did not do well at the box office, it should be watched for its unique storyline and simplicity.
Tribhanga
A tale of three mothers of three generations that brings them closer in an unfortunate situation. Tanvi Azmi plays mother to Kajol, who plays mother to Mithila Palkar, a to-be mother. When Tanvi Azmi slips into a coma, Kajol looks back at her strained relationship with her mother and grapples with regret.
English Vinglish
Story of a mother of two who is not so well versed with English. Her journey to learn English, rediscover herself, and reassert her value in her family. Shashi, the main lead, is played by Sridevi.
The Sky Is Pink
Based on a real-life incident where a mom goes beyond leaps and bounds and does whatever it takes to save her daughter from a life-threatening disease. Priyanka Chopra, Farhan Akhtar, Zarina Wasim and Rohit Saraf play the lead characters in the film.

Me time can be challenging, especially if you lead a hectic life. Often, it is considered that taking out time for yourself is being selfish, but trust me, it is NOT. I feel no matter how old you are, which profession you work in, or what your routine is, taking out time to do things that give you satisfaction is essential.
One often keeps juggling between personal and professional life, avoiding taking care of oneself, which may affect mental health. Knowing what not to do in me-time is entirely normal.
Me time is normal and not something to be dreamed of. Me time refers to spending time with yourself by doing things to restore energy, reduce stress and relax. Most importantly, doing these things unapologetically.
Some of the activities to do in me-time are:
Go for a quick workout
Take a hot water shower
Watch a series or a movie
Play online games, PS or on Xbox
Go shopping
Volunteer at an NGO
Take a power nap
Journal
Listen to songs/podcasts
Indulge in self-care
Cook or bake a dish
Make a DIY
Book a spa
Go out for a meal/coffee
Book a hobby class
Take a spin in your car
Sing/dance
Travel
Read a book
Buy yourself flowers
We all owe it to ourselves to take care of selves. Taking care of ourselves plays an essential role in strengthening our inter and intra relationships.

Summer is here, making it essential for everyone to take care of their skin. During summers, we all look for non-oily, lightweight, and refreshing products to use. Winters make our skin dry due to low moisture in the air, and summers make our skin look oily. Hence, changing our skincare products for each weather is necessary. Today, we bring you some summer skincare essentials.
SPF
Sun Protection Factor is an essential skin care product in summer. Wearing sunscreen helps protect the skin against fine lines and wrinkles caused by UV and reduces the risk of skin cancer. A minimum of SPF30 is what we all should use.
Light Moisturizer
Like sunscreen, moisturizer is also essential for skin throughout the year. For the sunny weather, our skin needs lightweight moisturizer. Generally, gel-based moisturizers are preferred for summers to keep the complexion hydrated.
Wet Wipes
Wet wipes are a must-have to keep your face clean and moisturized on the go. They help clean your face and keep it refreshing while you are out and about in the scorching heat.
Body Scrub
As summer arrives, our chances of wearing shorts, skirts, and short dresses also increase. To slough off the dirt and dead skin cells from the skin’s surface, one must have a moisturizing body scrub.
Face Oils
Facial oils work well to nourish the damaged skin as they are highly antioxidant and reparative. Oils give a natural summer glow, hydrate, and illuminate the skin. Dry and combination skin types are recommended to use facial oils.
Serums
A good serum is the one that soothes, enhances skin texture, and hyper pigments the skin during summers. Sun damages our skin and makes it red and patchy. Therefore, effective face serum for smooth skin is suggested.
Lip Balm
Dryness of the lips and summers go hand in hand. To keep the lips moisturized and smooth at all times, a lightweight and neutral lip balm is endorsed. A good lip balm will last long and soothe the lips without making them look heavy on lips.
When judges asked her during the final question and answer round of Miss World 2017, “Which profession should receive the highest salary in the world?” she responded, “A mother”, and we all knew what happened ahead. The young lady was crowned Miss World 2017, and she’s none other than our very own Manushi Chhillar, who’s recently roped in by UNDP to spread awareness and all set to get the biggest launch in Bollywood opposite superstar Akshay Kumar in Prithviraj.
Ex: You have taken over the world quite literally, how would you like to describe your journey?
Manushi:I would describe my journey as fun, exciting, and I think it was like an adventure ride because there was so much I got to do in life, and there’s so much growth that I’ve seen in the last four years. But I think most importantly, it’s been a vast learning experience for me because I got to experience a lot of things at a very young age. Whether it was travelling, meeting different kinds of people, or meeting world leaders to the most underprivileged of a particular society. So I think it’s been a fascinating journey, and there’s been a lot of learning.
Ex: What is your favourite Mumbai street food?
Manushi: I think Bombay is incomplete without its Vada Pav, and I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad Vada Pav in Bombay.
Ex: Most people perceive that you need to be an exceptional beauty to hold a title like ‘Miss World or Miss Universe. How would you describe the term beauty?
Manushi: I believe that beauty for me is being unapologetically yourself and being who you are. We’re all unique, and we can all stay unique as long as we are ourselves. And when you talk about Miss Pageants, like Miss World, I’d say that they are not about being an exceptional beauty, but they’re about recognizing the fact that all of us, including all the contestants and everyone else, are exceptional beauties.
Ex: What do you do for a digital detox?
Manushi:My digital detox is usually on the days when I’m not working because on the working days, there’s always something or the other that’s happening on the phone, and all the communication happens over there. However, I love taking at least one day off a week and doing something that I love doing, maybe painting. And when I’m in that zone, I usually don’t need any gadgets, or I don’t even look at my phone. I travel a lot, but I click very few pictures because I don’t like to have my phone on me when I’m travelling. Unless, of course, you need to make an urgent call. So my holidays are my digital detox because I don’t like being on my phone. Otherwise, when I’m on set and when I’m working, except for the parts that I’m shooting, I need my phone.
Ex: What is your average screen time on a daily basis?
Manushi: My average screen time keeps varying. There are days when I only spend an hour on my phone, and I’m not kidding, but then there are days when this goes up to almost 8 hours a day. So basically, it depends on what kind of day I’m having.
Ex: Manushi, you have inspired many young women, but who has been your inspiration all this while?
Manushi: I think it’s really sweet and humbling when people tell me that I have in some way added value or inspired them in life. But for me, I’ve had a lot of great men and women that I’ve looked up to growing up. And the constant has been my parents. I think they are two individuals that I really look up to, and I absolutely adore, and I’ve always tried to become someone like my mother.
Ex: What is that one cause you always stand up for and believe everyone should come together?
Manushi: I have always strongly felt for health and hygiene, especially for women, because I believe that if the woman of a family is healthy and learns the right hygiene, that impacts the entire family. She makes sure that the entire family is healthy and entire family knows how to practice good hygiene. So for me, female health and hygiene have always been essential. And I think that is something which I wish is very basic and I hope that it’s something that a lot more people in the world would take up.
Ex: What is the most expensive piece of gadget you own, and what is that one gadget besides your phone, of course, that you believe holds great importance in your life or home?
Manushi:The most expensive piece of gadget that I own is my watch because I love how mechanical watches work and how they use kinetic energy in order to make sure that the watch runs for a longer time. I absolutely love that whole idea, so it has to be my watch. A gadget that holds great importance in my life or home besides my phone would definitely be my iPad and AirPods because I really can’t go anywhere without them. I think our houses are now so dependent on gadgets, whether it’s a good television set or great speakers. There are so many gadgets that go into the kitchen and, of course, your air conditioning. All of these gadgets have evolved so quickly over time. So it would be challenging for me to pick just one crucial device for homes.
Ex: Three things you do to keep yourself calm during stressful times.
Manushi: There are many things that help me keep calm during stressful times but talking about the top three – The first one is a form of physical activity, whether it’s cycling, taking a long walk somewhere around nature or working out or dancing. Physical activity helps release all the endorphins I need during a stressful day. The second has to be painting as it has a long-lasting effect on my mood, and I always feel very calm when I paint. And the third is spending time with family and loved ones.
Ex: Every actor takes something away from the character they portray. What do you take away from your first film Prithviraj?
Manushi:My takeaway from my first film, Prithviraj, would be the fact that Sanyogita is the first character that I will be portraying on screen and the first character that I prepared for a film. And I feel like a lot of situations that she was put in and a lot of opinions that she had or emotions that she felt were very new to me as an individual who had not experienced such a situation in life. So it took a lot of understanding because I had to justify her actions to myself before I could justify her actions to the world in front of the camera. Also, there’s a lot to learn from that girl who had a transition from being a Princess to being a Queen and standing up for what she believed was right. And more than anything else, your first film, your first experience, teaches a lot to you. And I only fall in love with the process of filmmaking through Prithviraj.

Being a girl or woman in a collectivist country like India, where almost everyone is judgemental, especially in terms of fashion, is not an easy task. However, like every other obstacle, Indian women have successfully conquered the collectivist culture of our country and have come a long way.
The dog days are already here, and most of us are looking for a solution to get away with it. Alas, we can’t get away with summer heat that easily, but we can’t wait to go out as soon as possible as we have spent a considerable amount of time in our homes lately dealing with covid restrictions.
Going out in summer, even for a short time, sounds terrible, but you can survive the nasty summer by choosing the right wardrobe. One can’t dare to wear everyday clothes during summer, especially in a tropical region like India, where the temperature easily outshines 40° and scorches you alive.
Any wardrobe is incomplete without the summer essentials as we have to face the summer season for about 3-4 months. When dealing with summer, we have to raise the style bar similar to the scorching temperature as that keeps us going ahead and makes us comfortable in and out.
Suitable fabrics and colours for Summer Season
Summer clothes should be made of breathable fabrics such as cotton, and they must be bright in colour as such colours subconsciously augment our energy levels. Now, take a good look at the refreshing list of summer wardrobe essentials that we have created for you and beat the heat in style.
White T-Shirt
Let’s start from the basics! I know, seeing a white t-shirt at the top of the list is least expected, but don’t forget summer is all about going basic. A white t-shirt is one of the most versatile pieces you can wear during summer as it looks good on almost everything, be it relaxed fit blue jeans or a floral patterned skirt.
Shirt Dress
A shirt dress can easily help you swing the hot Indian summer days as they’re one of the classy garments that offer breathability along with a versatile look. You can pair up a shirt dress with a blazer for professional outings or pair it with white sneakers and hit the local café in style.
Tank Tops
We have a lot of options when it comes to tank tops as one can wear them almost everywhere, be it while sweating out in the gym or heading to the mall. Wear a tank top with a maxi skirt for a boho-chic look, or pair it up with a pencil skirt to have a formal look.
Denim Shorts
A pair of comfortable fit denim shorts can do wonders, especially when searching for a summer outfit. Wear a patterned bodysuit, white t-shirt or a crop top and add a statement belt, a handy phone bag along with black heels, and you’re ready to show off the summer chic look.
Sunglasses
One can’t survive the brutality of the summer (at least during the summer) without sunglasses unless you have spectacles and have no option rather than dealing with the harsh sun. While looking for sunglasses, go for the ones that suit your face shape the best and invest in a high-quality pair as they provide a decent shield.
Slides
Slides are one of the most comfortable and cute footwear you’ll see in summer as they’re easy to get on and off. Slides are the most versatile flip flops as they blend perfectly with a variety of outfits. Add the slides to your closet for summertime and style them with your favourite cropped, tapered, or relaxed denim.
Linen Wide Leg Culotte
Culotte may sound weird to the clan who always prefer to wear skinny jeans, but these wide-leg pants are easy to pull off and are favourite outdoor wear for the top celebrities, including Kendall Jenner, Jennifer Lopez, and Kate Middleton. They’re a perfect option if you’re looking for something airy during summer.
White Sneakers
White sneakers will never go out of style as they’re one of the top-notch footwear options, particularly during summer. Also, white pair of sneakers go with any outfit until you know how to keep them clean. Wear them with a polka dress or graphic tee with blue jeans, and thank me later.
Breton Striped Shirt or T-Shirt
A french-born Breton staple shirt or t-shirt can stand out amongst all the summer outfits and help you get a chic look. The original design featured 21 stripes, one for each of Napoleon Bonaparte’s victories, but who cares? Breton staple shirts or t-shirts look classy when paired with jeans or shorts.
Swimsuit
The best way to overcome the summer heat is diving into any kind of water body, such as pools, rivers, or beaches but going down the pool area in a t-shirt and shorts sounds a little outdated. Instead, get a proper swimsuit like a stylish one-piece and re-visit your inner sea mermaid.
The great Indian summer is here, and most of us are already drowning in a pool of sweat while commuting to work, playing outdoor games or perhaps everywhere. Nobody wants to go out in the summer, especially when living in a tropical country like ours, but that’s not the prime reason to stay inside.
Do you know why a massive number of men prefer winter as their go-to season? Well, the first thought that hits your mind is exemplary – salute to you, but besides that, the styling guide plays a key role. In winter, you can layer up yourself with cool jackets, funky shawls and whatnot, making it a style season.
While, in the case of the summer, we can’t even imagine getting out in a disgusting humid 40+ degree temperature. However, we’re eager to venture out as we’ve had enough during these last 2-years, and people are finally planning something where they’re packing everything except masks.
Well, nothing stays intact in a world of fast fashion but having a proper wardrobe essential and styling guide could save you anytime as these are the core elements that will allow you to enjoy the great tropical vibes while commuting to work or walking on a beach.
Suitable fabrics for Summer Season
Every season has its list of appropriate fabrics, and when it comes to the summer season, one must go with lighter fabrics with flexible weaves, such as cotton, linen, sheer and khadi, as these fabrics keep you cool inside and comfortable outside, all these benefits without surrendering any of style statement.
Suitable colours & fit for Summer Season
One can not summarize the bright and wonderful summer season without colours and patterns. Summer will be chiller if you add lighter shades of blue, browns, and greys to your wardrobe, along with clothes with colours like millennial pink, sage green, varsity red, and pastel purple.
One should avoid wearing dark shades during summer as they trap the heat from the sun and make you feel uncomfortably hotter. Also, loosen up your fit a bit like the guys from middle eastern countries do and go with relaxed fit clothes, which offer a decent room to breathe. Come on, it’s time to dive in.
Button-down long-sleeve Shirts
A pair of button-down long-sleeve shirts will serve as a smart casual for any summer situation, and once paired with relaxed/slim fit jeans or chinos, they’ll save you from having an everyday summer look of boring t-shirts and shorts. While walking out with these, make sure you unbutton the top button and roll up your sleeves.
White Sneakers
The white sneakers trend started back in the 20th century as a street style look, and it landed in the 21st century as a wardrobe classic, and indeed, they’re not going off the trend anytime soon. They’re known for their versatility as one can wear them casually and even with a tailored suit, but only if you know how to take care of them.
Ultralight Chinos
Chinos are the ideal bottom wears for the heat-season, of course, due to their welcome nature that offers breathability and comfort. I would say go for a lighter shade – slim fit chinos and pair them up with canvas sneakers and button-down long-sleeve shirts, henleys or even slim fit t-shirts.
Polo T-Shirts
Polo t-shirts are known as a middle ground between button-down shirts and t-shirts as they’re the perfect choice when you want to be professional and feel relaxed at the same time. While shopping for polos, go with a few muted summer colours of your choice and only buy the ones that equip you well.
Summer Shorts
Shorts are probably one of the most favoured outfits of the summertime as they offer the comfort you want in the warmer weather but only when you know how long your shorts should be! The shorts should be 1″ to 3″ above your knees, and if you’re planning to buy shorts that go past your knees, please turn the page.
Cuban-collar shirts
Cuban-collar shirts are famous for their collars which offer a little more breathing space (summery comfort) between collar and body. It was once known as strictly retro wear, but they’ve graduated into a men’s wardrobe staple in recent times. Go with the tropical, floral or geometrical prints and, of course, half sleeves.
Lightweight Jackets
Whoever said you couldn’t wear jackets during summer either damn-o-single or don’t prefer to go out on a date night. The lightweight jackets with signature large pockets are my favourite alternative to a blazer as they’re great to build breathability and always help you look smart while planning to go out.
Summer Shades
You can’t imagine hitting the outdoors during summertime without carrying a pair of reflective shades. Well, no kidding, you can’t imagine as the sun doesn’t let anyone do that. So put on the summer shades like Wayfarer, Clubmaster, Aviator or round eye lens to look stylish and keep the sun from blinding you.
Swim Shorts
Whether you know how to swim or not, swim shorts are one of the necessary wardrobe-essentials one should have during summer. We often prefer to visit water parks, beaches, and riversides in summer, and many guys fail to control a masculine urge to throw themselves in the waterbody. So yeah, get your swim shorts asap.
Summer Cologne
Summer brings a lot of unwanted heat and turns us into a sweaty phenomenon. Now, to overcome the heat, most of us overuse a cologne, resulting in an unsavoury smell due to an adverse chemical reaction. Hence, note it down – during summer, less is more, and for the best colognes, click here.
