Around this time, every year, over 10 million students in India who have just passed out of high school make a frantic search for the college of their choice. The world they are about to enter carries a set of unknown possibilities for them, and they often have no route map for it. Nor is it a static world. College education is exploding with dynamism at every level, gaining volume and complexity by the year. For instance: according to official estimates released in January 2023, there were 43.3 million young Indians enrolled in higher education institutions in the country in 2021-22, an increase of 26.5 per cent over 2014-15. Of these, close to 35 million were at the undergraduate level. Those who seek admission into these portals face what can…

First conducted in 1997, the India Today Best Colleges Survey in its first year ranked only engineering, medical and law colleges. The following year, Arts, Science and Commerce were added.

Now in its 28th year, a lookback at the top institutes across all streams. Competition may have been snapping at their heels, but these toppers have always been one step ahead Website: https://bestcolleges.indiatoday.in/…

Nikhil Mehrotra has made a name for himself with the relatable scripts he has written or co-written, including the likes of Dangal, Chhichhore, Panga and Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl. With the romantic sports film Mr. & Mrs. Mahi, which is about a married couple with a shared passion for cricket and stars Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor, he has delivered another moving drama. Edited excerpts from an interview: Q. Did writing a romantic drama centred around cricket pose any interesting creative challenges? We wanted cricket to be intrinsic to the ups and downs of the relationship. This was both fun and challenging. As a story of a couple with a common love for cricket, it was similar to Panga (2020), another sports drama, and initially I wasn’t too excited about…

Behind the first memorandum of the Chipko movement, Chandi Prasad Bhatt writes, was “a larger collective consciousness or historical context”. His autobiography, Gentle Resistance, roots the protests against treefelling in Garhwal in the alienation of its people from their forests. “The British administration began a systematic process of intervention in our forests.” The land settlement of 1823 began “constraining people from the commons and depriving them of their… natural rights.” The government of free India did nothing to restore the forests to its citizens, its Forest Department inheriting both ownership and the attitude from the departed colonials. Born in 1934 to an impoverished Brahmin family in Chamoli district, Chandi Prasad Bhatt lost his father early, and his mother struggled to fund his education. He found a steady job as…

Ravissant: A World of Ultimate Elegance Distributed by Mapin Publishing ₹9,000; 236 pages Over a storied career, Mina and Ravi Chawla have dabbled in pretty much everything. They started out as purveyors of fine Indian handicrafts, then segued into design, buoyed by their desire to create world-class luxury goods that were Indian at heart but wedded to a contemporary European sensibility. This book tells that story. The Chawlas opened their first boutique in the Hansalaya Building in Connaught Place on 1st January, 1981. The stark white-and-black interiors were designed by Bernhard Schlachter, a student of the influential German graphic designer Kurt Weidemann, who had introduced him to the Chawlas.

TAHIR SULTAN Interior Decorator, Artist, Designer, Visual Merchandiser, Curator and owner Cult Food Business Makaan, Jaipur www.makaanjaipur.com For Tahir Sultan, styling has always been a part of the ethos of his brand and who he is. “It started with fashion shoots for my clothing label, but then moved into visual merchandising for other brands.

Sultan chases out of the box ideas, loves the eccentric and looks for beauty where others won’t see it. “Styling involves looking at a project and lending it a voice which is both harmonious and creative, without being overbearing; and it must of course fit within the parameters of a…

Here’s my understanding of the art movement of Surrealism. During this time, artists started expressing themselves through illogical scenes after World War I. Various mediums such as photography, painting, and sculptures have taken on the movement. Beyond reality or surreality, logical or illogical, it is all is subjective to one’s understanding and perception. We have used interior design as a medium to express the same in balanced contemporary expression. It is logical to have an upright straight arch. We tried using the illogical inverted arch in the same space, next to each other, all in harmony. Dali, being one of the most famous flag bearers of the surrealist art movement is known for blurring the boundaries between soft, hard, fluidity, reality, and super-reality (one such reference is The Persistence…

Elan burst onto the Tamil cinema scene out of nowhere. Beginning young, he admits he was lucky to make his directorial debut at 23—with the fresh, thoughtful, enlightened romantic comedy Pyaar Prema Kaadhal in 2018. And then it took six years for his sophomore film Star with Kavin in the lead. The film deals with Kalai (Kavin), an aspiring actor with dreams of becoming Tamil cinema’s next star. Kalai is the son of a photographer played by Lal, a father who is more enthusiastic and bullish about his son’s chances. Elan’s father too is a still photographer turned actor—Stills Pandian—but the autobiographical aspect ends there. Elan is positive about the long gap between his first two films. “I started very young; I made my first film at 23. I felt…

EESHAAN KASHYAP, 38 Founder and Creative Head Tablescape by Eeshaan www.eeshaankashyap.com That Eeshaan Kashyap is talented, is a known fact. But did you know he has many hyphens between the words that describe what he does for a living. For starters, he is a well-known food and beverage curator. Post-pandemic he progressed as a curator that experiments with everything from ceramics and paper to resin and metal. He is also a designer and artist. Another feather in his cap is his ability to craft and curate tableware, home accents and clothes. He also styles tables for an exclusive clientele and has dabbled extensively with food styling. “I come from a food and beverage background. As a trained chef and designer for many restaurants, I have always been working closely with…

Quiet luxury has never been louder. While this trend has captured the imaginations of the well heeled globally, in the world of interiors this has led to a shift towards materials that are high in quality, furniture that is sculptural, decor that’s one-of-its-kind, showpieces that are limited edition and functional art that’s beautiful and bespoke.

It brings 6,000 sq ft space to life with antique carpets, stainless steel sculptures, heirloom pieces, crystals and art.

“Excellence,” former president of India and eminent aerospace scientist A.P.J. Abdul Kalam would say, “is a continuous process and not an accident.” This could be a reasonable explanation for why the winners across the streams have been somewhat of a permanent fixture in the top slot for the past five editions of the India Today Best Colleges survey. Luck or laxity in rigour on the part of the surveyors has little to do with that achievement. Rather, the disciplined, unwavering focus of the toppers in embracing change and incorporating innovation in the process of learning is what has cemented their place at the top. The India Today Best Colleges annual survey has been recognising and celebrating the commitment to excellence shown by these institutions for the past two decades. Now in…

How do you decide the colour palette for an interior design project? As a designer the first thing we do is find out the sensibility of the client, what kind of colours they like. The colours you use should create a harmonious space. Even if you plan different rooms in different colours, ultimately, they need to have some thread of harmony running through them that binds the whole colour scheme together. Take for example this 5,000 sq ft apartment in Mumbai with spectacular views of the sea. The homeowners were very clear that they wanted a home that didn’t conform to any particular style or colours, but would be a reflection of their eclectic outlook and be a space where they felt comfortable and very much at home. So, right…
