THE CHANGE IS IN THE AIR

After the festivities of October, November often seems like a dull month. The weather is shifting, autumn's lingering warmth gives way to the crisp chill of winter and the days grow shorter, painted in delicate hues of amber and early dusk. But hold on, this is the perfect time for introspection, to take stock of the year that will come to an end next month. It’s a month of transition, a pause, an ideal season for reflection and discovery. As you ponder the changing shades of the leaves, your achievements, and what you may have missed, Exotics becomes a handy companion. In this issue, we invite you to embrace the shifting rhythms and colours of November through a journey into destinations, arts, and experiences that embody the beauty of change.

This month, we present stories that resonate with your November mood. We travel to the tranquillity of the Valley of Flowers in Uttarakhand, also known as UK, and to London in the UK; experiencing it through Airbnb. Shake off the November dullness and give it a fresh twist by embracing solitude: a journey of self-reflection. Closer to home, we explore how artists are reshaping the art scene with installations that reinterpret nature's colours. A captivating dance performance also invites everyone to shrug off the November gloom.

Beyond destinations, November brings a rich palette of sensory delights. Our culinary highlights feature warming dishes that pay tribute to seasonal ingredients, from aromatic spices to earthy flavours that capture the essence of the harvest. And for those feeling creative, we’ve curated a selection of art from across the capital to help you experience November to the fullest.

In this issue, we invite you to view November not as a prelude to winter’s chill, but as a vibrant chapter in its own right - a time to travel inward as well as outward. Take the opportunity to slow down, indulge in the art of savouring, and discover the beauty of this fleeting season.

Wishing you an inspired journey.
