In that single twist of language, we experience how names can alter our perception of the world. Name is not a mere label to identify us. In carefully chosen syllables, it is an echo of our roots and a tribute to the faith others have placed in us. It carries with it the memories and legends of the ones who have come before us and also the gentle reminder of new beginnings.

So many guests walked out of Sabyasachi's grand 25th year celebration in Mumbai last weekend, a little confused, even outraged. How can India's most famous bridal wear designer not showcase a single bridal outfit? Guests were underwhelmed, or disappointed, unable to wrap their coiffed heads around the fact that India is changing, and fashion is now more than a lehenga.
