    If you’re ever on a touristy journey in the city of dreams aka Mumbai, it is highly likely that you will someday find yourself outside the most important landmark besides the Gateway Of India, i.e. Mannat, an oddly huge building which is the residence of one of the biggest superstars in the world and the heartthrob of billions, Shahrukh Khan. The Rs 200 crore property has been home to the Khans for over 16 years and while the interiors are gorgeously taken care of by his celebrity interior designer wife Gauri Khan, there is another interesting story to the tale of how he chose and managed to buy the property in the first place.

    Around 1997, while shooting for Yes Boss, SRK set his eyes on this sea-facing Bandra property. By 2001, he managed to get acquainted with the original owner and convince him into selling this piece of wonderful land at a prime location. The house was owned by Gujarati businessman Nariman Dubash and his home was called ‘Villa Vienna’. After he sold the property for a reported Rs 13.32 crore (approx) to SRK, the house was quickly reconstructed for the superstar’s family to move into.

    Srk is a living proof that ' dreams do come true.’ The young lad from Delhi who moved to Mumbai to make a mark in the film industry, ended up becoming the biggest star one would know of, not just in India, but globally as well. If one had to dissect the reason why he probably named his house Mannat, one could safely presume that he literally manifested this dream into reality, with his own hard work of course. 
    In fact , in one of his interviews also, he mentioned how he felt about a house in a city which is crowded with only apartments. “I am from Delhi and Delhiites have the concept of living in a kothi (bungalow). In Mumbai, the concept is to live in apartments, but in Delhi, even if one is not well off, they still own a small bungalow. When I came to Mumbai, I was already married and was living in a small apartment with my wife Gauri. My mother-in-law would keep saying, 'You live in such a small house.' Eventually, when I saw Mannat, it felt like Delhi wala kothi and so I bought it and that was the most expensive thing I bought”, he quipped.

    POV: You just came home from school after a diya decoration competition. It’s Diwali break starting tomorrow. You sort all your firecrackers neatly and in reach so you can rush to burn them as soon as the pooja gets over. 
    Does it make you want to go back in time?

    Somewhere between making Diwali greeting cards to making Diwali content for clients, we all grew up. The difference is that we burned firecrackers then and now we burn the midnight oil and work late nights during the festive week. However, the feel and excitement of Diwali are the same.

    Here’s revisiting some childhood memories that all desi kids would relate to. 

    Disclaimer: major nostalgia ahead!  
    1. The Excitement To Wear New Clothes © iStock
    It was a tradition for our parents to take us shopping for brand new clothes (shiny and ‘Extraa’ in every way possible) on Diwali and we just couldn’t wait to change into those festive clothes and look so fly.

    After successfully convincing our parents to let us play “the game meant for adults” because it involved winning some cash, we always lost and had to make a scene just to let us play more or get some prize so we could stop crying and ruining their party.

    Be it the box of chocolates one of our aunts gifted or the homemade sweets our mom made for Diwali, the adults always made us wait to get our hands on the sugary treats. And, it would disappear after one helping.

    Jumping on a lit chakri, shooting rockets at random places (houses of kids who would bully us) and lighting the sutli bomb in our hand and throwing it before it explodes gave us the adrenaline rush we never knew we needed.  

    5. Making Diwali Artefacts  © iStock
    Diwali brought out the artist in all of us as we made DIY art and craft at school and at home. 

    Making greeting cards, charts for the classroom, diya decoration, candles and cute torans gave us the ultimate kick. 
    A lot has changed as we grew up except moms nagging us to clean the whole house and us reluctantly partaking in her cleanliness drive. 
    We still do that and will always do!
    BRB, gotta declutter my wardrobe.

    If the pandemic has taught us anything, it is that we need to be more conscious of our planet.  Having wardrobes full of clothes and nowhere to go made us sit and think about our reckless buying habits. 
    Well, festivals are around the corner and it’s that time of the year when we get particularly careless about calories and clothes, which is the last thing you would want to do.

    There is another way and this is to make sustainable fashion choices during festivals. You can still look dapper while being a conscious customer. 

    By shopping sustainably and mindfully, you can make the festive season easy on the pocket as well as the plant. 
    Let us tell you how.

    Here are 5 ways to incorporate sustainability in your festive fashion choices and make a difference:

    1. Restyle An Old Outfit © iStock
    You could repurpose your old Diwali Kurta or Onam outfit by styling it in a different way and turning it into a completely new outfit this year. 

    You don’t necessarily have to buy more for festivals. 
    Simply put on a Nehru jacket over your kurta or mix and match different ethnic separates that are already lying in your closet. 
    2. Buy Less & Buy Local © iStock
    Festive splurge is real but think before you shop for festivals. 

    We have been conditioned to wear new clothes at festivals like Diwali but shopping ethically, judiciously and sustainably is what we should have been taught. 
    This year, shop mindfully and buy from ethical local brands, instead of fast fashion brands. 
    3. Shop Preloved Fashion © iStock
    Let’s face it. There are multiple thrift stores (offline and on IG) that sell preloved clothes that are as good as new and some do it for a good cause too. 

    You can get a steal deal and a fab outfit for a festival that you probably would have spent a bomb for. 
    It saves your precious pennies and the planet too.  
    4. Wear A Homemade Outfit © iStock
    A cosy sweater or pullover knitted with love by your mom or grandma would not only be an amazing sustainable fashion choice but also make them happy to see you ditching the international brands for their handmade outfit. 

    Since Diwali and Christmas are winter festivals, you can ask your mom to make you one just in time for the festival, if you live in a colder place.
    5. Recycle Old GarmentsIf you don’t want to re-wear, recycle and reuse old clothes in your house and turn it into a new garment. 
    Actor Riteish Deshmukh made a statement by repurposing his mom’s old saree to make kurtas for his kids and himself on Diwali last year.

    You can also wear a dupatta from your mom and sister’s closet over a kurta instead of buying a new one.

    Ever since India’s loss against Pakistan in their opening match of the T20 World Cup 2021, the cricketing world was left amazed by the kind of hate Mohammed Shami got for being the one to give away the winning runs to Babar Azam.
    The Indian pacer was attacked for his religion and was asked to “get out of the country” simply because he ended up being the most expensive bowler for the Men in Blue on that particular day.
    #Shami sala besram insan india match haar rhi thi aur ye mulla hnsta hnsta full toss short ball fank kr mc rha tha katwa
    — Beast Expert (@expert_beast) October 25, 2021It's True shami is getting heat like mulla, pakistan chala ja , sala apne bhai ko jitwa diya .
    — Sushant (@bsushant__) October 25, 2021Since then, Shami’s teammates, and other celebrities have come to his support and shamed those who were senselessly criticising and individually targeting the bowler instead of blaming the entire team for the loss.

    Indian skipper Virat Kohli addressed these “spineless people” who sit behind fake social media IDs while creating unnecessary controversy just for clout and said that the entire team was going to stand behind Shami if something like this happens again.
    "Attacking someone over their religion is the most pathetic thing one can do as a human. That is a very sacred and personal thing. People take out their frustration because they have no understanding of what we do," Kohli told the reporters in a pre-match conference on Saturday.

    Listening to his press conference and the sense of honesty in his voice about the brotherhood Kohli shares with Shami, former Indian skipper and cricketing legend Sunil Gavaskar opened up about how he felt towards the whole situation and how he loved Kohli’s unfiltered response to the discriminators.
    “Those who are making such remarks, do they matter? I don’t think these faceless trolls matter. We don’t care what they have to say, because they have no identity,” said Sunil Gavaskar on India Today.

    “Good to see the way Virat Kohli and other team members have rallied behind Mohammad Shami. It is a great sign. Backing each other is the key. This is what we have seen over the last week,” he added.
    While the last week has been about Indian cricketers getting even closer to each other as teammates and compatriots, it is time for the team to dig deep into that chemistry and take on Kane Williamson and the New Zealand cricket team in what is virtually a must-win match for both sides if they wish to move to the knockout stage of the tournament.
