Bura na mano, Heritage™ hai!

India is a land of rituals, traditions and festivals. Festivals, specially, are celebrated on a remarkable scale here. The extravaganza during Diwali, the burning down of Ravan during Dushera as a metaphor for rising against evil, the midnight mass followed by a massive feast during Christmas, and more. One such notable festival is Holi. Holi is observed to celebrate the victory of good over evil by lighting and paying respects to a bonfire on the previous night and is followed by a game of splashing water and throwing colours on each other in a sporting manner to strengthen the bond within communities. Holi is, thus, famously referred as the festival of colours. Now that Holi is just around the corner, we decided to celebrate colours in our own humble way.    The cheery medley of Heritage™ tiles is a combination of various patterns from the collection placed randomly alongside each other. As one might imagine a chaotic design taking shape, it actually allures you with a...

The Festive Hangouts!

India is a land of religions and festivals. Each religion has its own significance and a traditional way of expression. Diwali is one such major festival in the country. Called as the festival of lights, Diwali marks the day when Lord Rama returned to his home city of Ayodhya after spending 14 years in exile. Festival of lights? Is it as simple as - since the entire city had been illuminated to welcome the young Prince back home, or could it be a metaphor with a deeper meaning? Diwali signifies the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, and hope over despair. Diwali not only brightens up the neighbourhood but also our lives. It is that time of the year when celebrations are the top priority of every household. It’s time for guiltless indulgence in mouth watering sweets, delicious food and bursting crackers. All the relatives, including the cute little cousins and annoying aunties, visit each other to exchange festive greetings. All this cheerful hus...

The Perfect Combination!

Riyaaz Amlani, the man behind Impresario, has changed the face of socialising with his ambitious and solid projects in metropolitan cities across the nation. He has come a long way from stumbling upon small pebbles to scaling high mountains in the restaurant and hospitality industry. His ventures include the likes of Social, Salt Water Café, Smoke House Deli and Mocha to name a few. Talking about Social in particular often peaks our interest. This brainchild of Amlani is something that even we are proud of. Well, of course it is one of the most coming of age hangouts where artists meet designers, innovators meet entrepreneurs, photographers and writers meet web developers and where creative individuals share their ideas with like-minded people. However, there is more to it. Social at Colaba has a very unorthodox yet rustic charisma to it that makes you fall in love with the place the moment you step in. From the ligneous furniture to the typical ‘chai’ glasses for serving water...

The Heritage™ Walk

Visuals have a larger impact on how well we remember things. We remember some of our childhood stories better maybe because we read them or saw them on television. It is also about how well an artist tells a story that makes a lasting impression. The world is full of stories if you’re careful enough to notice. Some find a story beyond the imaginable while others in the simplest of things. What makes a good story is the art of presenting it to the audience. In this world driven by technology, it is as difficult to awe people as simple it is to reach out to them. Many modern story tellers have discovered an apt tool that has helped their stories reach thousands of people. A tool that we know as Instagram, and the story tellers – Instagrammers! It was the second day and the first Saturday morning of April when Bharat Floorings welcomed a select few Instagrammers for a walk that would go on to become an amazing experience for everyone involved. BFT had been planning The Heritage™ Wa...
