The Zynna store entrance   As the country begins to embrace an oncoming change of season, the roster for events in the city is revving up more than before, for this precise reason; new season new things to do. With trade and commerce being a major focus to revive the country's economy, French fabric maker Stof, has joined hands with Indian design based firm, Zynna to launch their new collections in India. The main focus of their launch has been the Digital Collection (a series of 30-printed fabrics, replicating the exact drawings), Toile De Jouy  (a collection depicting landscapes and classic scenes, and Linen ( a 100% linen) collection. 

  The setup at the Bholasons outlet Tarun Tahiliani for Azva, the collection on display at the Bholasons outlet in Gurgaon, was precisely for emphasis on the point of the title; Gold is more than its trading price! In recent times, gold has come to be associated as an investment avenue in the commodity market, loosing a part of its real shine as a precious canvas for artistic creations, and a lifestyle statement.  The man of the hour, designer Tarun Tahiliani delved deep into the craftsmanship associated with the precious metal, and said, "Like fabrics and embroidery, Gold has different techniques of work," which seemed to be highlighting theme of the show.

Though debatable for many in the political scenario, but a lot of the North-East part of India remains unexplored. From natural beauty to mineral resources, to handy manpower, the 'sisters of the north-east' as they are sometimes called, remain in a psychological closet for quiet a few. One such treasure in that corner of the country, is Imphal, the capital of the Manipur state. Spread over the Imphal East and West districts, Imphal City exists with it's 264,986 (2011 consensus) residents.
