Respected guests, It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you onboard Biman Bangladesh Airlines, your home in the sky. We always strive to make sure that our passengers’ in-flight experience is memorable and comfortable. Our dedicated and professional cabin crew staff is here for you to provide you traditional Bengali hospitality throughout your journey with us. We also take pride in announcing that Biman has just concluded the annual extravaganza of hosting the holy journeys of 64,873 pilgrims to and from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. At Biman, we are committed to being progressive and thinking long-term. And the induction of Boeing 787-8 Dream Liner mid next year is one of the many steps in that direction. We would like to thank everyone who has helped us gain this momentum and scale new heights. This is also a time of the year when people like travelling to Bangladesh. The weather is at its best, making your travel more comfortable. Be it Kuakata or Sundarbans or Cox’s Bazar, every region in Bangladesh is a visual paradise now. We invite you to this majestic land and experience nature at its best. As always, on behalf of all employees of Biman and myself, I thank you very much for being with us.

The amazing landscape of Bir Zekreet has the presence of large escarpments with mushroom and pillar-like limestone formations. This region is a 90-km drive from Doha and is also a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Since there is no public transportation to reach here, the best way is to come in one’s own vehicle with a stock of water and food.

torchbearer of the nation of Bangladesh. By this, Bangabandhu managed to won the hearts of millions of his people, inside and outside the country. His courage, fearlessness and steadfast devotion to the cause of his people is always remembered by the people of this nation. December 16 is no longer just another government holiday, today it has turned into a festival, referred to as the Victory Festival, and is celebrated across the nation with great enthusiasm. In the initial days of the country gaining Independence, the government was in charge of the Victory Day celebrations. Back in those days, the day began with the sound of cannons fired in the honour of the freedom fighters who sacrificed their life for the glory of the nation. The whole country would get brilliantly lit up with lights. Celebratory programmes were organised too. What used to be a day rooted in culture, reserved primarily for the intellectual middle-class, has today transformed into a mass celebration. Preparations for the Victory Day now begin way in advance, with the markets overflowing with red and green (Above) School children dressed to celebrate the Victory Day, (Below) a child getting the country flag painted on his face Rq Ki‡Z †c‡iwQ‡jb| Zuvi mvnwmKZv I wbwf©KZv I wb‡Ri †`‡ki RbM‡Yi Rb¨ AvZ¥wb‡e`‡bi `„p‡PZvi B‡”Qi K_v G †`‡ki gvbyl memgqB g‡b ivL‡e| h‡Zv w`b hv‡”Q, evsjv‡`‡ki gvbyl †hb †fZi †_‡K A‡bK †ewk K‡i Dcjwä Ki‡Q weR‡qi GB w`bwU‡K | 16 wW‡m¤^i AvR ïay miKvwi QzwUi w`b bq, ïay wbqg †g‡b D`hvc‡Yi w`b bq Ñ GBw`bwU GLb evsjv‡`‡ki megvby‡li Kv‡Q Drm‡e cwiYZ n‡q‡Q | G‡K Avgiv ewj weRq Drme | weRq jv‡fi ci †_‡K †ek A‡bK¸‡jv eQi weRq w`emwU cvwjZ n‡Zv miKvwifv‡e | mKvj †ejv m~h© IVvi mv‡_ mv‡_ bMievmx ïb‡Z †c‡Zv †ZvcaŸwb | GB †ZvcaŸwb w`‡q m¤§vb Rvbv‡bv nq evsjv‡`‡ki gyw³hy‡× wbnZ I AvnZ AMwYZ gyw³‡mbv‡`i | Av‡jv w`‡q mvRv‡bv n‡Zv Pvicvk | LÛ LÛfv‡e n‡Zv weR‡qi Abyôvb | miKvwi msev`gva¨‡g cÖPvwiZ n‡Zv Lei | wKš‘ GLb weRq w`em D`hvc‡bi Av‡qvRb A‡bK cv‡ë †M‡Q| Av‡M hv wQj mgv‡Ri wkwÿZ, ga¨weË, ms¯‹…wZgbv gvby‡li w`em, AvR Zv n‡q‡Q MYgvby‡li Drme-Avb‡›`i w`b | weRq w`em‡K †K›`ª K‡i GLb A‡bK Av‡M †_‡KB ïiæ n‡q hvq Drm‡ei Av‡qvRb| we‡kl K‡i †`vKvwbiv me Suvwc‡q c‡o jvj-mey‡Ri cmiv wb‡q| evsjv‡`‡ki cZvKvi is jvj-meyR‡K wN‡i ˆZwi n‡Z _v‡K kvwo, mv‡jvqvi- KvwgR, cvÄvex, dZzqv, kvU©, ev”Pv‡`i †cvkvK, Ry‡qjvwi| ïiæ n‡q hvq wewfbœ ai‡Yi †gjv, Abyôvb | †`‡ki wewfbœ †Rjv †_‡K Avm‡Z _v‡K bvbvai‡Yi dzj | KviY Pvwiw`‡K †e‡o hvq dz‡ji K`i| cÎ-cwÎKv, ‡Uwjwfkb P¨v‡bj¸‡jv we‡kl we‡kl Abyôvb 28 nov - dec 2017 Cover story update adventureexplore CULTURE LEISURE 24 Hours
A street hawker selling national flags colour, be it saris, kurtas, shirts, children’s clothing or jewellery. Fairs and programmes are organised. People decorate their houses with flowers of various kinds, so exotic flowers need to be sourced from all over the country to meet the demand. That's not all. Newspapers and TV channels get busy printing and telecasting special events right from December 1. Everyone, irrespective of their gender, age or social status, flock to the streets. A palpable atmosphere of festivity surrounds the entire nation for weeks. Though December 16 is an official holiday, citizens along with President Abdul Hamid, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and representatives of political, social and cultural institutions join the memorial programme. The event commences by honouring the freedom fighters who lost their lives in the struggle of Independence and concludes with people heading towards the Rajpath in huge numbers. Citizens from all walks of life deck themselves up in red and green colour and unite in the spirit of brotherhood by taking part in the festivities of the day. Every hand holds the national flag with pride, fly pasts by Army aircraft crisscross the sky and the streets come alive with bright lights and patriotic songs. cÖPvi Ki‡Z ïiæ K‡i wW‡m¤^‡ii 1 ZvwiL †_‡K | †`kRy‡o ïiæ n‡q hvq mvs¯‹…wZK Abyôvb, wPÎ cÖ`k©bx | A‡bK GjvKv‡ZB †gjv e‡m hvq | †QvU †_‡K eo, abx †_‡K `wi`ª, bvix-cyiæl-wkï mevB †ewo‡q c‡o c‡_ | mßvn a‡i Pj‡Z _vKv Gme Abyôv‡b Pvwiw`‡K ˆZwi nq GK DrmegyLi cwi‡ek | 16 wW‡m¤^i _v‡K miKvwi QzwUi w`b | wKš‘ †fvi nIqvi mv‡_ mv‡_ †`‡ki ivóªcwZ, cÖavbgš¿x, ivR‰bwZK, mvgvwRK msMVb, mvs¯‹…wZK msMVb ‡_‡K ïiæ K‡i jvL jvL gvbyl Qz‡U hvq RvZxq ¯§„wZ‡mŠ‡a| ‡mLv‡b ¯^vaxbZv hy‡× wbnZ knx` gyw³‡hv×v‡`i ¯§„wZi cÖwZ kÖ×v wb‡e`b K‡i w`bwU ïiæ nq evsjvi gvby‡li| Gici ivRc‡_ †hb gvby‡li Xj bv‡g | mvivw`b a‡i AMwYZ gvbyl nv‡Z nvZ a‡i, Kvu‡a Kvua wgwj‡q Ñ jvj-meyR †cvkvK c‡i Avb›`-Drm‡e †hvM †`q | cvovq cvovq Abyôvb, nv‡Z nv‡Z cZvKv, AvKv‡k wegvb gnov, Av‡jvKm¾v, c‡_ c‡_ Mvb †e‡R P‡j‡Q gyw³hy‡×i Mvb | iv¯Ívq _v‡Kbv wZjavi‡Yi RvqMv | dz‡j dz‡j †X‡K hvq gyw³‡hv×v‡`i mgvwa †ÿÎ| Zvu‡`i kw³, Zv‡`i cÖvY`vb Ñ Avgv‡`i bZzb K‡i gvwZ‡q †Zv‡j, kw³ †`q | mg¯Í †`k †g‡Z I‡V Avb›`-Djøv‡m †hb g‡bnq AvR, GB w`b †_‡KB Avgiv ¯^vaxb njvg| wkï †_‡K e„× mevB e‡q wb‡q P‡j‡Q Avgv‡`i weR‡qi Rq i_| Both President and Prime Minister address the nation with separate messages .

Nov - Dec 2017 Cover story update adventureexplore CULTURE LEISURE 24 Hours kuakata is a languorous small town in southern Bangladesh, more precisely in the Patuakhali district of Barisal. It lies nestled between the Bay of Bengal, the island of Bhola and the nearby offshoots of the Sundarbans mangrove forest. For its abundance of mostly untouched natural beauty, Bangladeshis call this well-loved place as Shagor-Konna or the ‘daughter of the sea’. The prime attraction of this 30-km- long beach is the sunrise and the sunset. There are many secluded spots with various small rivulets and canals falling into the sea. The coastline is dotted with patches of the distinctly coastal ‘Jhau’ trees, each grove called a separate Jhau-bon.

(Above) Tree plantation in Kuakata; (Opposite page) Dry fish in the open 32 Kuakata’s coastline is dotted with Jhau trees
33 will see pristine patches of sand, with perhaps a lonesome log of wood or an abandoned boat. The boat is an exact replica of many others you see plying the waters. The air feels different here as if laden with the sea’s salt and its allure. In the more commonly visited patches of the beach, the very distinct smell of dried fish tends to attack the olfactory senses. The smell is quite welcoming to most tourists, especially the domestic ones, and many are seen happily buying their share after sifting through mounds of it. The fish are especially cured and favoured by most as a delicacy, with each area having their own way of preparing it. Winters in Kuakata are pleasant. It is, in fact, the best season to visit and enjoy the beauty that lies mostly untouched by civilisation. There are no glitzy shopping malls or plazas, no wide thoroughfares and no hustle-and- bustle of the larger cities.

It is said that the well- digging activities by the Rakhine gave the area its name. As the name goes, Kua means well, and Kata means dig. Some of those old wells still have potable water. One can go and visit the Rakhine settlement and also buy their brightly patterned handwoven cloth as a souvenir to take back home. There is also a giant statue of the Buddha in the Rakhine-Polli, as they are followers of Buddhism. The old temple has been renovated to house the 30-feet golden statue. Special ceremonies are observed by the locals during the Rash Purnima and Magh Purnima festivals held on the day of full moon usually from October to February.

This incredible art of embroidery and handmade knowledge fascinated me most. I just fell in love with it,” she says. Since Tessier wanted to wear it herself, she decided to experiment with her vintage jeans first; adorning them with crystals, radiant threads and semi-precious stones. “I was wearing them during Art Basel Miami Beach. People liked my jeans so much that I started getting personal orders to customise their denim collections,” she says. Although, this business model had the potential to grow, Tessier’s heart and soul wasn’t allowing her to get into it. Rather, she was looking for something grand to get involved in. That’s how the idea of designing clutches dawned on her. She says, “You reveal yourself through your handbags or clutches. You may be considered a serious, classic, funny, luxurious, or original woman. This is the ultimate fashion accessory for a woman.” All her creations are handmade, which she believes, is a rare thing to find out in today’s world. Therefore, things that make Tessier’s designed clutches unique enough (Clockwise from above right) Clutch with different currency notes, clutch with sun sign printed, embroidery being done on a bag biman-airlines.com 59
to stand out are primarily due to her use of traditional embroidery techniques with a funny and arty spirit. Tessier’s inspiration for all this big stuff essentially comes from her travels and the contemporary art exhibitions she keeps visiting. “I designed clutches with different countries’ bank notes carved into them in order to relive that moment when I first travelled to those amazing places,” she says. Tessier clutches are symbolic of luxury fabrics that go into the making of them. “I use Japanese denim, satin and silk velvet. I also collaborate with Toyen Sellers to develop handmade fabrics exclusively for my product line,” she says, adding, “When it comes to collecting rock crystals, I look nowhere but the famous Goossens company in Paris.” Every collection of Tessier is aimed at telling some sort of fascinating story that women out there could relate to. Her precious creations serve to uplift the lifestyle of jet- set women who love handmade products as well as appreciate the quality craft. Unsurprisingly, famous celebs and women bloggers have been spotted carrying Tessier’s clutches.

Vegetables, fruits, spices and even savoury non-vegetarian elements are being incorporated in desserts these days. Chefs are thus playing with ingredients as never before – some basic, seemingly mundane and others unconventional and unusual. Chef Vivek Kadam, Pastry Chef, explains, “While getting the classics right is great, sometimes experimenting can lead to brilliant new combinations that offer guests a unique culinary experience. We look for ingredients that can best complement each other to give a perfectly balanced amalgamation of flavour, taste and quirk.” FlavoursChefs unleash their imagination and create desserts like never before Unique By: Mini Ribeiro DcKiYI Abb¨!†kdiv Zv‡`i Kíbvkw³i m‡e©v”P e¨envi K‡i ˆZwi Ki‡Q Abb¨ me †WRvU© wj‡L‡Qb: wgwb wi‡eB‡iv ¯^v‡` AZzjbxq, biman-airlines.com 63
Chef Sahil Sabhlok, opines, “I prefer introducing the quirky ingredient as a flavour in the whole dessert or try bringing in an element of surprise as a part of the main dessert if the experiment is too bold.” Veggies and fruits galore Who thought veggies would make their way into lip-smacking desserts. Well, chefs are unleashing their creativity and picking up vegetables for desserts too. Carrots have long been used in cupcakes and even cheese cakes, but now, beetroot has caught the fancy of chefs. Cookies, brownies, cakes and halwa alike are being made using beetroot. It is the colour that usually attract chefs and diners. From beetroot and apple doughnuts, beetroot tarts and pudding, the list is endless. Sweet potato may not exactly be a popular tuber, yet, it is sought after by chefs and that too for desserts.

(Above) Beetroot puff pastry, (Opposite page) avocado lemon cake globe. From cakes to muffins, parsnips are being used for a myriad desserts. Combining spices, hung curd or zesty lemon flavours along with parsnip, enhances its flavours and chefs are going all out. Avocado, a fruit with a subtle taste and creamy texture is also a part of a chef’s repertoire now for desserts. This fruit seamlessly meshes with chocolate, giving a velvety texture to the mousse or even puddings, yogurt and tarts. It works well with coconut, pistachios, as it does with other fresh fruits, especially berries. Using tea Matcha or powdered green tea, with its luminescent emerald colour, lends its hue to many desserts from macarons to tea cakes and from crème brulee to brownies. Dark chocolate matcha cake, matcha dusted chocolate truffles, matcha oreo brownies, are typical favourites. Chocolate pairs well with the earthy flavoured matcha green tea, according to chefs. †kd‡`i AvMÖn †K‡o‡Q| †KK I gvwdb †_‡K ïiæ K‡i AMwYZ wgóvbœ RvZxq Lvev‡i cvm©wbc e¨eüZ n‡q‡Q| gmjv, `B I †jeyi †d¬fvi †hv‡M cvm©wb‡ci myMÜ ev‡o Ges †kd‡`i †ivgvwÂZ K‡i| A¨v‡fvKv‡Wv, wµ‡gi g‡Zv †U·Pvi Ges PgrKvi ¯^v‡`i GKwU dj, hv eveywP©‡`i †WRvU© ˆZwii mewRi ZvwjKvq ¯’vb K‡i wb‡q‡Q| GB djwU PK‡j‡Ui m‡½ G‡Kev‡iB wg‡k wM‡q gDwm‡Z GKwU †Kvgj †U·Pvi G‡b †`q| cywWs, UK `B, I Uv‡U©i m‡½I GwU fv‡jv hvq| GwU bvi‡Kj, †c¯Ív ev`vg Ges ZvRv dj we‡kl K‡i †ewi RvZxq d‡ji m‡½ Lye gvwb‡q hvq| Pv-I Av‡Q gvPv ev ¸‡ov wMÖb wU, PgrKvi meyR iO wb‡q GwU GLb ivRZ¡ Ki‡Q| g¨vKviæb †_‡K wU †KK Ges wµg eªywj †_‡K eªvDwb‡Z GwU Gi iO wewj‡q hv‡”Q, Avi †kdivI eyu` n‡q Av‡Q Gi †mŠ›`‡h©| M‡Ü wfbœZv Avbvi Rb¨ GwU AviI wKQy DcKi‡Yi m‡½ †gkv‡bv †h‡Z cv‡i| WvK© P‡Kv‡jU gvPv †KK, gvPv Wv‡÷W P‡Kv‡jU Uªv‡d¬m, gvPv IwiI eªvDwb Gi g‡a¨ me‡P‡q RbwcÖq| eveywP©‡`i g‡Z gvPv wMÖb wUi m‡½ P‡Kv‡jU Lye fv‡jv †g‡j ZvB GwU bZyb bZyb Dcv‡q †WRvU© ˆZwi‡Z e¨envi Kiv †h‡Z cv‡i| gvPv, GwUi iO I gRv`vi M‡Ü †kdiv AvKl©Y Powdered green tea lends its hue to many desserts from macarons to tea cakes to crème brulee to brownies. biman-airlines.com

  • 4. Respected guests, It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you onboard Biman Bangladesh Airlines, your home in the sky. We always strive to make sure that our passengers’ in-flight experience is memorable and comfortable. Our dedicated and professional cabin crew staff is here for you to provide you traditional Bengali hospitality throughout your journey with us. We also take pride in announcing that Biman has just concluded the annual extravaganza of hosting the holy journeys of 64,873 pilgrims to and from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. At Biman, we are committed to being progressive and thinking long-term. And the induction of Boeing 787-8 Dream Liner mid next year is one of the many steps in that direction. We would like to thank everyone who has helped us gain this momentum and scale new heights. This is also a time of the year when people like travelling to Bangladesh. The weather is at its best, making your travel more comfortable. Be it Kuakata or Sundarbans or Cox’s Bazar, every region in Bangladesh is a visual paradise now. We invite you to this majestic land and experience nature at its best. As always, on behalf of all employees of Biman and myself, I thank you very much for being with us. Have a wonderful flying experience! wcÖq AwZw_, AvKv‡k Avcbvi Av‡iK bxo wegvb evsjv‡`k GqvijvBÝ-G Avcbv‡K ¯^vMZ Rvbv‡Z †c‡i Avwg Awff‚Z| hvÎx‡`i Bb-d¬vBU AwfÁZvUv‡K ¯§iYxq I Avivg`vqK KivUv wbwðZ Ki‡Z Avgiv memgqB Db¥yL n‡q _vwK| Avgv‡`i m‡½ cy‡iv hvÎvc‡_ Avcbv‡K cÖ_vMZ evOvwj AvwZ‡_qZvi ¯^v` cvB‡q w`‡Z Avgv‡`i wb‡ew`Z I †ckv`vi †Kweb µziv memgqB m‡Pó| Avgiv M‡e©i m‡½ GUv Rvbv‡Z PvB †h, K‡qKw`b Av‡MB evrmwiK cweÎ nR cvj‡bi Rb¨ 64,873 ag©cÖvY gymwjø‡K cweÎf‚wg †mŠw` Avi‡e Avbv-‡bIqv K‡i‡Q wegvb| wegv‡b Avgiv cÖMwZkxj I `xN©‡gqv`x Dbœq‡b wPšÍvfvebvq cÖwZkÖæwZe×| Avi †mB Dbœqb hvÎviB Ask wn‡m‡e AvMvgx eQ‡ii gvSvgvwS mg‡q wegv‡bi eni †hvM n‡Z h‡”Q ‡evwqs 787-8 wWªg jvBbvi| GB †cÖiYv I bZzb D”PZvq Av‡ivn‡bi Rb¨ Avgv‡`i hviv mn‡hvwMZv K‡i‡Qb Zv‡`i mevB‡K RvbvB AvšÍwiK ab¨ev`| Ab¨w`‡K GLb Ggb GK †gŠmyg hLb A‡b‡KB evsjv‡`‡k †eov‡Z cQ›` K‡ib| AvenvIqvUvI PgrKvi Avi Avcbvi ågYUvI n‡e Av‡iv Avivg`vqK| KzqvKvUv, my›`ieb ev K·evRvi; †hLv‡bB Nyi‡Z hvb bv †Kb; evsjv‡`‡ki cÖwZwU AÂj †hb GLb g‡Z©¨i ¯^M©| GB Hk¦h©gw¸Z f‚wg‡Z cv †i‡L cÖK…wZi †miv we¯§qUv‡K Dc‡fvM Ki‡Z Avcbv‡K Avgš¿Y Rvbvw”Q| eive‡ii g‡ZvB wegv‡bi mKj Kg©x I Avgvi cÿ †_‡K, Avgv‡`i m‡½ _vKvi Rb¨ Avcbv‡K RvbvB AvšÍwiK ab¨ev`| Avb‡›` ficyi †nvK Avcbvi hvÎv| A M Mosaddique Ahmed Managing Director & CEO (Biman Bangladesh Airlines) Fly high Be it Kuakata or Sundarbans or Cox’s Bazar, every region in Bangladesh is a visual paradise 2 CEO’s Note nov - dec 2017

The amazing landscape of Bir Zekreet has the presence of large escarpments with mushroom and pillar-like limestone formations.

His courage, fearlessness and steadfast devotion to the cause of his people is always remembered by the people of this nation. December 16 is no longer just another government holiday, today it has turned into a festival, referred to as the Victory Festival, and is celebrated across the nation with great enthusiasm. In the initial days of the country gaining Independence, the government was in charge of the Victory Day celebrations. Back in those days, the day began with the sound of cannons fired in the honour of the freedom fighters who sacrificed their life for the glory of the nation. The whole country would get brilliantly lit up with lights. Celebratory programmes were organised too. What used to be a day rooted in culture, reserved primarily for the intellectual middle-class, has today transformed into a mass celebration.

A palpable atmosphere of festivity surrounds the entire nation for weeks. Though December 16 is an official holiday, citizens along with President Abdul Hamid, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and representatives of political, social and cultural institutions join the memorial programme. The event commences by honouring the freedom fighters who lost their lives in the struggle of Independence and concludes with people heading towards the Rajpath in huge numbers. Citizens from all walks of life deck themselves up in red and green colour and unite in the spirit of brotherhood by taking part in the festivities of the day.

It lies nestled between the Bay of Bengal, the island of Bhola and the nearby offshoots of the Sundarbans mangrove forest. For its abundance of mostly untouched natural beauty, Bangladeshis call this well-loved place as Shagor-Konna or the ‘daughter of the sea’. The prime attraction of this 30-km- long beach is the sunrise and the sunset. There are many secluded spots with various small rivulets and canals falling into the sea.

The air feels different here as if laden with the sea’s salt and its allure. In the more commonly visited patches of the beach, the very distinct smell of dried fish tends to attack the olfactory senses. The smell is quite welcoming to most tourists, especially the domestic ones, and many are seen happily buying their share after sifting through mounds of it. The fish are especially cured and favoured by most as a delicacy, with each area having their own way of preparing it. Winters in Kuakata are pleasant. It is, in fact, the best season to visit and enjoy the beauty that lies mostly untouched by civilisation. There are no glitzy shopping malls or plazas, no wide thoroughfares and no hustle-and- bustle of the larger cities. The few shops in temporary-looking shacks line the beach in the popular spots that have on offer ornaments made of beads, shell and plastic, and other products made of shells like hair clips, décor and mirrors. The eastern side of the beach is home to the Gangamati Reserve Forest. It’s a torn off piece of the famed Sundarbans, which used to cover the area. The forest has now receded away significantly towards the west into Khulna. w`‡K| ˆmK‡Zi Zxi †Nu‡l Av‡Q GKivk SvD MvQ| cÖwZwU SvD‡qi ¸”Q‡K ejv nq SvDeb| ˆmK‡Zi evjy mv`v| Z‡e g~j ˆmK‡Z †XvKvi c‡_i cv‡k Qov‡bv c``wjZ ay‡jvi w`‡K ZvKv‡j mv`v bvI g‡b n‡Z cv‡i| wKQyUv †nu‡U ˆmK‡Zi w`‡K XyK‡jB †`Lv wgj‡e mv`v evwji mvwi| m‡½ nq‡Zv †Pv‡L co‡e wekvj ˆmK‡Z wbwiwewj c‡o _vKv GKwU Mv‡Qi ¸wo ev GKwU cwiZ¨³ †bŠKv| ˆmK‡Zi ayjvq AvU‡K hvIqv †bŠKvwUI wVK mvM‡ii cvwb‡Z †f‡m †eov‡bv †bŠKv¸‡jvi g‡ZvB †`L‡Z Z‡e Zvi cÖ‡qvRb dywi‡q †M‡Q| µgvMZ R‡ji †Zv‡o wf‡R †iv‡` cy‡o weeY© GB †bŠKv Aek¨B †Kv‡bv bv †Kv‡bv Av‡eM‡K RvwM‡q Zzj‡e, hv ûU K‡i †Kv‡bv ch©UK‡K _vwg‡q GKUv wKQz fve‡Z eva¨ Ki‡e| mgy‡`ªi †jvbv cvwbi Kvi‡Y GLvbKvi evZvmI wKQyUv wfbœ Abyf‚Z n‡Z cv‡i| †jvKvj‡qi KvQvKvwQ hZ Avm‡Z _vK‡eb, ev ˆmK‡Zi RbwcÖq ¯’vb¸‡jv‡Z hvIqvi m‡½ m‡½ bv‡K Avm‡Z cv‡i ïUwK gv‡Qi Kov MÜ| A‡bK ch©U‡Ki Kv‡Q we‡kl K‡i hviv ¯’vbxq Zv‡`i Kv‡Q GB MÜ Lye GKUv AwcÖq bq, A‡b‡K Avevi ïUwK gv‡Qi ¯Í~‡ci cv‡k †ek Avb‡›`i mv‡_B Ny‡i †eovq| Gme ïUwK gvQ A‡b‡Ki Kv‡Q †ek AvKl©Yxq I Dcv‡`q Lvevi| Gi ivbœv Kivi c×wZI GjvKv‡f‡` wfbœ| DcK~jxq A‡jI Avevi GwU ivbœvi wKQz Avjv`v c×wZ Av‡Q| wbgœv‡ji eØxc †`‡ki †fZi _vK‡Z _vK‡Z Af¨¯Í n‡q hvIqvi Kvi‡Y kniwUi MÖx®§Kvj `g AvUKv‡bv GKwU mgq| Z‡e kxZ GLv‡b ¯^M©xq Ges e¨¯Í mf¨Zvi hveZxq ¯ú‡k©i evB‡i _vKv GB wbg©j †mŠ›`h© Dc‡fvM Ki‡Z kxZKvjUvB †miv| GLv‡b Kuakata is a popular sanctuary too for migratory winter birds.

The one luxury accessory item where it’s most applied is a handbag—something that a woman can’t live without, thus experiencing a magical turnaround in its overall design aesthetic. So, the designer responsible for making plush clutch bags embroidered with the logos of various countries’ currencies and other vibrant and cheeky art forms is a Paris-based luxury clutch designer Carole Tessier whose eponymous label 'Preciously Paris' seems to have taken everybody by surprise. Tessier’s first stint happened to be working as an interior designer because she had been passionate about digging into the artisanal practices in France, leading her to study design and decoration at Académie Charpentier in Paris.

This incredible art of embroidery and handmade knowledge fascinated me most. I just fell in love with it,” she says. Since Tessier wanted to wear it herself, she decided to experiment with her vintage jeans first; adorning them with crystals, radiant threads and semi-precious stones. “I was wearing them during Art Basel Miami Beach. People liked my jeans so much that I started getting personal orders to customise their denim collections,” she says. Although, this business model had the potential to grow, Tessier’s heart and soul wasn’t allowing her to get into it. Rather, she was looking for something grand to get involved in. That’s how the idea of designing clutches dawned on her. She says, “You reveal yourself through your handbags or clutches. You may be considered a serious, classic, funny, luxurious, or original woman. This is the ultimate fashion accessory for a woman.” All her creations are handmade, which she believes, is a rare thing to find out in today’s world. Therefore, things that make Tessier’s designed clutches unique enough (Clockwise from above right) Clutch with different currency notes, clutch with sun sign printed, embroidery being done on a bag biman-airlines.com 59

Tessier’s inspiration for all this big stuff essentially comes from her travels and the contemporary art exhibitions she keeps visiting. “I designed clutches with different countries’ bank notes carved into them in order to relive that moment when I first travelled to those amazing places,” she says. Tessier clutches are symbolic of luxury fabrics that go into the making of them. “I use Japanese denim, satin and silk velvet. I also collaborate with Toyen Sellers to develop handmade fabrics exclusively for my product line,” she says, adding, “When it comes to collecting rock crystals, I look nowhere but the famous Goossens company in Paris.” Every collection of Tessier is aimed at telling some sort of fascinating story that women out there could relate to. Her precious creations serve to uplift the lifestyle of jet- set women who love handmade products as well as appreciate the quality craft. Unsurprisingly, famous celebs and women bloggers have been spotted carrying Tessier’s clutches.

Vegetables, fruits, spices and even savoury non-vegetarian elements are being incorporated in desserts these days. Chefs are thus playing with ingredients as never before – some basic, seemingly mundane and others unconventional and unusual. Chef Vivek Kadam, Pastry Chef, explains, “While getting the classics right is great, sometimes experimenting can lead to brilliant new combinations that offer guests a unique culinary experience.

Well, chefs are unleashing their creativity and picking up vegetables for desserts too. Carrots have long been used in cupcakes and even cheese cakes, but now, beetroot has caught the fancy of chefs. Cookies, brownies, cakes and halwa alike are being made using beetroot. It is the colour that usually attract chefs and diners. From beetroot and apple doughnuts, beetroot tarts and pudding, the list is endless. Sweet potato may not exactly be a popular tuber, yet, it is sought after by chefs and that too for desserts.

Combining spices, hung curd or zesty lemon flavours along with parsnip, enhances its flavours and chefs are going all out. Avocado, a fruit with a subtle taste and creamy texture is also a part of a chef’s repertoire now for desserts. This fruit seamlessly meshes with chocolate, giving a velvety texture to the mousse or even puddings, yogurt and tarts. It works well with coconut, pistachios, as it does with other fresh fruits, especially berries. Using tea Matcha or powdered green tea, with its luminescent emerald colour, lends its hue to many desserts from macarons to tea cakes and from crème brulee to brownies.
