Recently Kim Kardashian revealed how she went through extreme dieting to fit into her MET Gala gown. As Kardashian lost 16 pounds in just three weeks, we take a look at how crash diets actually affect the body and whether it is really worth hampering our relationship with food. While that put fitness into focus, this week also had something in fashion as celebrities, who attended the Cannes 2022 film festival looked their best on the red carpet. Deepika Padukone and Aishwarya Rai looked their usual best and thus gave a lot of people fashion goals in the process. While designers helped us decode their looks, they also gave a step-by-step guide for fans to recreate Padukone’s style at the function.  
 
In food, we encourage every tea lover to experiment with the chilled version of the beverage as city chefs share their favourite ice tea recipes amid the rising temperatures in the city. Keeping in mind of how people are returning to restaurants and pubs to have a good time, our feature delves into a growing trend of bar takeovers in the city. City restaurateurs tell us why they are doing it and what it brings to the table for diners in the city.  
 
Actor Deshik Vansadia talks to us about his latest theatre performance that is based on Leonard Nimoy’s play ‘Vincent’ about the life of Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh. Last but not the least, our ninth part of the ‘Shelf Life’ series takes us to Powai to Vasundhara bookstore, which is known for its rare books in regional languages.
