Dubai is one city that never fails to look amazing. Like it's meant for photographic captures, especially of the aerial kind because it gives Dubai a much-deserved, larger-than-life, exalted status: its high-rises, architecture, designs... even its colours: the glittering buildings, the blue of the sea, the white of the sands, the sand in the desert... Photographer Bachir Moukarzel has won an award for his Dubai photos, for which he's enlisted help from a - wait for this - drone! They are breathtaking, and when you see his work, you feel you're about to be thrown right into a wondrous fantasy; but rest assured, they are all real - this is what Dubai actually looks like. Not that you needed reaffirmation, just feel good (and maybe thankful) you live in this gorgeous place!
I remember being stunned when I first heard about Imelda Marcos's shoe collection; she had over a thousand pairs. Later, I was to realise shoes seem to warrant a collection. Just a matter of time before sneakers jumped onto the bandwagon. Sneakerheads - those who are shoe-deep in love with sneakers - have been around for some time (thanks to the burgeoning sports goods industry that has bloomed into a sunrise sector), but we get into the minds of these collectors to find out what makes them tick.
Lata Mangeshkar is a legend. If you have even a nodding acquaintance with Bollywood music, there's no way you cannot not think of her each time you hear the strains of a song. In our Bollywood column this week, Khalid Mohamed has an exclusive interview with the Voice of India - that's straddled more than seven (ever-changing) decades. The greatest Indian ads? Ever feel like compiling a list? We have you covered - turn the pages! In Travel, we take a reflective tour of the haveli of the great 19th century Urdu/Persian poet Mirza Ghalib in the dingy bylanes of old Delhi. Avocados emerge the star of the dining table in Kitchen Classics, while mangoes do the tango in another food feature with celebrity chef Ayesha Curry showing the way to savour this king of fruits. All this and much more.
Enjoy reading WKND and have a great weekend.
