Green Vision

Our cities and towns are getting depleted ofgreencoveratanalarmingrate.Apart-

ments in high rises hardly have any space foranindoorgarden.Havinga greencover

around us will not only help us breathe freely,butalsopumpin vitaloxygenneededfor

survival. I would request the Editor to focus anddedicatea fewpagesonindoorhome

gardens. This garden can be either in the kitchenbalconyorthelivingroombalcony.Just

like how TIHG covers the bedroom, the bathroom,thekitchen,thelivingspace,it should

also give sufficient space to home gardens.

Travel Sojourns

The Ideal Getaway section is my all

time favourite in TIHG. As my

husband is in the travel business, we

both eagerly look forward to travel

destinations featured in the maga-

zine. I have noticed that a lot of em-

phasis is given to overseas locations.

Yes, there are beautiful locations in

many European and Asian countries.

However, I would like to put it this

way that there are heavenly abodes

in India as well. The edit team should

explore such options and feature

them in TIHG.

What makes a home so beautiful? Of

course, it’s the interiors and the decor.

Homes from across the world are some

of the best as they are less cluttered

and more spacious. One of the reasons

being – most houses are individual villas

(that’s a widely accepted concept).

Even in India, we have beautiful and

appealing homes. However, in majority

cases the interiors, the decor, the furni-

ture and the fabrics look stunning, but

there is too much of clutter all around.

I feel it’s time to look towards the West

for proper space management and

planning. We have the resources and

the talent pool, it’s just that the im-

plementation needs to be in the right

perspective.
