Do you know what the capital of our county is? Delhi? Correct!Parents and teachers must have taught you to read general knowledge. To read about longitude and latitude, to read about how rich India's culture and heritage is. But Do you know about Geeta Choppra case , Soumya case, Jalgaon case, Anjana Mishra case, Ajmer case,Suryanelli case, Mathura case, Bahraich case, Imrana case, 2013 Mumbai gang rape case , Bhanwari Devi, Nirbhaya, Nirbhaya 2 and now Asifa? Many of you might have heard about them in Radio and television and must have read about the horrifying experience all these above mentioned had? Did you ever think of sitting with your parents and discussing such topics? No? You know why? Because deep inside your heart you know everyone will blame clothes, girls limit and timing. Deep inside you know that system, Judiciary, fights between different religion everything is bullshit. The problem here is that we all like keeping quite over something. Because we unheard the first...

Originally written for Ciceroni Six labels from Ahmedabad How many times have you experienced this? You spend one hour surfing through online sites and scrolling down till you find the perfect outfit in the favourite colour; after checking it out thoroughly you add it to the shopping cart and eventually when you are about to check out, a faint realisation strikes and argues ‘Hey, this is expensive. It can wait for the next month’. You exit the site without buying. Familiar right? While we don’t mind splurging once in a while, we all tend to stick to our budgets. Finding affordable fashion is a mammoth task for most of us. It is a serious effort to scour through the local markets, surf through umpteen sites and finally freeze on that one particular brand that is not only high on fashion quotient but is also pocket-friendly. Ciceroni Team brings you High Street Fashion under INR 1500 from six eclectic designers based out of Ahmedabad. They are trendy, bohemian, chic...

“Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.” - Norman Vincent Peale December is here already... The month that brings in the festive fervour, the one that spreads warmth and happiness, the one that makes you take a stock of the year gone by and the one that creates a hope in you to paint the new canvas with fresh and vibrant colours. And also because, HO...HO...HO it’s Merry Christmas. Celebrated across the world as the birthday of Jesus Christ, Christmas is best termed as the ‘Holiday season’ when families travel miles to be with each other. It is that time of year where we want to be surrounded by our near and dear ones and be taken over by childhood festive nostalgia. Though it is a Christian festival, in India, Christmas celebration has entered many a urban household regardless of the religion. Christmas is synonymous with Santa clause, Christmas songs, plum cakes and gifts besides the decorative pine trees...

"Where words leave off, music begins." There are some words that transcend the language barrier, some that resonate with multitude of cultures regardless of the boundaries; where the word in itself becomes the source of joi de vivre. ‘Music’ is one such word. Sometimes, we cross paths with some exceptional individuals in our life and that changes the entire course of the way we think and react. One such priceless encounter was meeting the Sitar Man aka Prem Joshua and experiencing the live music that was played in an event at  “Upvan” Rajwadu, Jivaraj park, Ahmedabad. Music has always been a matter of energy. Sentimental people call it inspiration but in reality it is actually a fuel. A fuel to your soul. A rendezvous with this unrivalled man who plays music that once admitted to the soul, becomes  sort of spirit that never dies. This man along with his band needs no introduction as he is the pioneer of a crossover sound that is nestled at the cusp of...

Originally written for Ciceroni “What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.” ― John Steinbeck Winter– the season of warmth is here, it’s strange how some people think that winters are brutal and ferociously cold making it absolutely undelightful because of your limited possibilities to wear dresses. But then just because it's cold outside doesn't mean you can't have as much fun getting dressed as you did during the former seasons! In fact, as much as we love our sundress, we also adore the idea of wearing endless layering possibilities that come with the chills of winter winds. Team Ciceroni thinks that your true sense of fashion is to embrace fashion in a classy and elegant way considering the geography you live in.

Originally written for Ciceroni Fashion comprises of the world we breathe in, it surrounds us in all possible form of apparels, interiors and home decor. While some follow fashion for style most of the fashionistas follow for the coveted status. Following fashion can be a tedious task; like come on, everyday there is a new trend emerging and before you actually make a decision of buying it, whoosh!!! It vanishes from the market. Besides being quick in decision making, you should also be wise enough to make the right choice because you don’t want to park your money in your closets only, right? This reminds us that Navratri, the much celebrated festival of Gujarat, is fast approaching. Are you going to dig into your wardrobe and find something old or are you going to repeat the unpardonable mistake of going for the last minute shopping to buy the good old Ghagra choli from Law Garden? Not that we are against it but, don’t you want to try new trends? What is your idea of swa...
