Trèsind has been a staple in Dubai's dining scene for years, yet it retains an air of excitement every time you visit. Renowned for its contemporary take on Indian cuisine, the tasting menu is where the restaurant truly excels—it's playful, technical, and filled with bold, confident flavors that evoke nostalgia while feeling refreshingly new.

A truck carrying more than 12 tonnes of KitKat bars vanished somewhere in transit across Europe. What could have been just another logistics story quickly took on a life of its own, morphing into something far more dramatic. Headlines have leaned into the absurdity, framing it like a plotline straight out of a heist film, rich with theories about where the chocolate might end up.

Avatara is unlike any other restaurant in Dubai in countless ways‭. ‬This small‭, ‬unassuming spot nestled in Dubai Hills appears‭, ‬from the outside‭, ‬like your typical neighbourhood eatery‭, ‬but nothing could have prepared us for what was to come‭. ‬I have to admit‭, ‬dissimilarly to many Dubai foodies‭, ‬I knew very little about Avatara and its concept‭. ‬The restaurant is the world’s only Indian vegetarian restaurant to hold a Michelin star‭, ‬with a singular 17-course tasting menu for each guest‭. ‬They define‭ ‬themselves as‭ ‬“the reincarnation of soulful Indian food”‭, ‬utilising clean‭, ‬seasonal ingredients to produce something magical‭, ‬artistic‭, ‬and truly memorable‭.‬

Tucked‭ ‬inside the Mandarin Oriental Jumeira‭, ‬you’ll come across a tiny haven for caviar lovers‭: ‬Beluga‭. ‬On first glance‭, ‬it’s rather unassuming‭ ‬—‭ ‬easily mistaken for a discreet lobby bar‭ ‬—‭ ‬but step inside and it quickly becomes clear that this is a destination in its own right‭. ‬Intimate‭, ‬softly lit‭, ‬and quietly confident‭, ‬Beluga sets the tone for a refined-yet-relaxed culinary experience‭.‬

Being a parent today can feel more complicated than ever before. Like every generation, we have grown up in a world very different from the one our children inherit. But the pace of change has never been this fast, nor its impact this profound. The rise of AI, the spread of technology, and social media have transformed how young people connect, learn, and see themselves.

For Jessica Chastain, luxury doesn’t need to announce itself. But it should still feel something.Speaking in Dubai during a brief interaction at The Dubai Mall, where she unveiled Italian jewellery house Damiani’s newly revamped boutique and its latest high jewellery collection Ode to Italy, the Oscar-winning actor reflected on her affinity for quiet, understated luxury, both on and off the red carpet.“Yes, it is something I gravitate towards, absolutely,” Chastain said. “I love an understated e

“This old thing? I’ve had it forever.” Never has the faux humble compliment bat-back been more frequently bandied about. Even now, at the peak of the January sales, on the cusp of pre-Ramadan shopping sprees, and with new season collections filtering into luxury boutiques, buying new feels at best 2012, and at worst 2023. Fashion fatigue has been filtering its way into the mainstream for years. Uncomfortable truths about landfill, luxury leathergoods prices soaring beyond their desirability, mindless consumption being eaten up by the experience economy; is 2026 the year we finally get the fashion—fast or otherwise—ick?

For Banu Mushtaq, writer, activist, lawyer, and winner of the 2025 International Booker Prize for Heart Lamp, literature has always been an instrument of truth and resistance. One of India’s most fearless literary voices, she emerged from Karnataka’s Bandaya Sahitya movement of the 1970s and '80s, a radical wave of writers who challenged caste, class, and gender hierarchies through words that burned with conviction. Among that pioneering generation, Banu stood out as one of the few women whose voice carried both rebellion and grace.

When you think of Rado‭, ‬you don’t just think of watches‭; ‬you think of a brand that reimagined what a watch could be made of‭. ‬Decades ago‭, ‬while most of the industry obsessed over shapes and complications‭, ‬Rado practised the alchemy of materials‭. ‬After pioneering ceramic on the wrist‭, ‬the‭ ‬brand pushed boundaries again‭, ‬mastering sapphire crystal‭, ‬perfecting high-tech ceramic‭, ‬and creating plasma-treated ceramic‭, ‬a‭ ‬breakthrough that gave ceramic the lustre of metal without compromising its lightweight‭, ‬scratch-resistant properties‭. ‬With these innovations‭, ‬Rado wasn’t just building watches‭; ‬it was shaping the future of how time should feel on the wrist‭.‬

Kicking off Dubai Fitness Challenge this month, eager-eyed cyclists in the Dubai Ride spied the first indication that the city’s wellness industry is about to welcome a new player to the ‘live longer, live better’ game. Flags heralding The Ultimate Human Wellness Clinic lined Sheikh Zayed Road, while The Ultimate Human himself — American longevity guru and human biologist Gary Brecka, enthusiastically joined the 40,000 Dubaians riding along the city’s main artery as the sun rose over the Museum of the Future.

Billionaire entrepreneurs’ interest in staying young has been well chronicled. Jeff Bezos of Amazon, Peter Thiel of PayPal and Sam Altman of OpenAI have all been reported to have invested millions of dollars in anti-ageing companies to fund longevity research. ‘Immortality’ seems to be topmost on everyone’s minds these days—last month, even Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin were caught discussing how human organs could be repeatedly transplanted to maintain one’s youth and the possibility of living until 150, in a ‘hot mic’ moment when they met in Beijing. But who wouldn’t want to live forever? We all try, with varying degrees of success, by eating well and exercising.

On the last day of the year, many of us pretend the calendar is a clean slate. New page. New energy. New habits. In reality, most people wake up on January 1 with the same patterns and the same nervous system they carried through the year before.

Women’s health is understudied and, in many respects, poorly understood.
