Namaskaram and Happy New Year!
Since the start of my career as a TV personality in 2004 I have been working long hours for many days and weeks and months. Recently my family members told me that time is having its way with me and I should not only look at hourly time but daily time, weekly time and monthly time.
I thought about this and realized that time is all around; it is with you, behind you and in front of you. And one must see all the time, all the time.
Days, weeks and months must always be in front of you where you can see them and exactly what they are doing to you.
A calendar is the best method way of ensuring this.
The reason I have taken some trouble for landscaping of this calendar is that I believe that time should always be something to look forward to such as picnics and holiday times.
Hence I have presented a variety of seaside and beach holiday pictures, at the same time taking into account the steps one should take to be careful during such occasions.
My friend Glory Princess Joseph agreed with me. Infact she said that so many of my activities are in front of the camera why not also take a picnic in front of the camera?
Thus this calendar was born.
It is my sincere wish that you find this calendar useful as well as beautiful like my Aunt Thangamma’s handbag.
Sincerely,
Lola Kutty
MUMBAI: Mumbai is about to witness something it has never seen before. The Global Youth Festival arrives on 6-7 December at Jio World Garden with 15,000 attendees and 60-plus experiences sprawled across six sprawling arenas. On its sixth edition, this is no ordinary jamboree—it is a carefully orchestrated collision of wellness, adventure, arts, music, yoga and social change.
Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis will throw open the proceedings with a landmark ceremony, signalling the state’s backing for a movement that has already mobilised youth across 20-plus countries and 170-plus cities. The sheer scale is staggering: 500-plus volunteers powering the machine, 600,000-plus volunteer hours logged across previous editions, and millions of lives touched annually.
The speaker roster is formidable. Diipa Büller-Khosla and Dipali Goenka, chief executive of Welspun India, will share the stage with Malaika Arora in conversations spanning leadership, creativity and culture. Union Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs Mansukhbhai Mandaviya will also attend, reinforcing GYF’s reach into the corridors of power.
But this is not mere talk. The Solaris Mainstage promises concerts from renowned Indian artists. Innerverse delivers a 360-degree LED spectacle of art, technology and sound. The Love and Care Arena houses hands-on projects spanning women’s empowerment, child education, rural upliftment and animal welfare. India’s largest outdoor sound-healing experience awaits. An inflatable obstacle course, neon drifter karts and open-sky bouldering cater to thrill-seekers.
Some have branded GYF the “Coachella of Consciousness.” Others call it “India’s Largest Sober Festival.” Spiritual visionary Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji, who inspired the festival, will deliver the Wisdom Masterclass. Every rupee goes to charity.
After Mumbai comes Kolkata on 14 December. New York looms next year. For one weekend in December, Mumbai becomes the epicentre of youth-driven change—and nothing will be quite the same after.
