Fashion Armours : The rising trend of arm cuffs in Bengaluru
With their versatility, people's demand for unique accessories is what holds arm cuffs firm in the industry. According to the Bohemian store, a brand that focuses on arm cuffs in pure brass elements and bohemian style, the market in the city is currently leaning towards sustainable materials and mixed metal finishes, reflecting a blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary aesthetics. 'Consumers gravitate towards pieces that tell a story, like a snake which reflects power and mandala motifs which reflect balance in life,' says Ishani Sarkar, founder of the brand. Whereas, Summer Sands' brand co-founder, Krithika Venkatesh, emphasises how consumers in Bengaluru are shifting towards unique, statement-making pieces that reflect their individuality. 'Instead of following mainstream trends, they're curating personal styles by mixing and matching accessories,' she says. Suha Farheen, co-founder of Summer Sands, notes that accessories are no longer just purchases - they're meaningful expressions of individuality. Vishnupriya also notes how this particular fashion statement is slowly leveraging Bengaluru's fashion statement, saying, 'Now, maybe one out of 100 people I see is styling them, but I'm glad to see that it's growing.'

New foreign policy for a news world
Sooner than later, India will have to make a choice where it stands. Perhaps more important, what India stands for. The Narendra Modi government's policy of multi-alignment brought good results for the country's foreign policy for most of Modi's time as prime minister. But with Donald Trump acting like a bull in the china shop of world order, multi-alignment, at its best, has exhausted all possibilities. It was inventive while it lasted. India needs a new foreign policy. Exposed to the scorching heat of Trump's assaults on the existing order, the old policy is now like wine that tastes of wet cardboard. It emits an aroma similar to spoilt vinegar. The existing policy is no longer sustainable. Repackaging it in shimmering new Bohemian crystal will not make the old wine any better. It will not be potable, although the new bottle may draw praise. The old policy must be discarded. Or else, South Block will be stranded by the receding tide of history. In six months, Trump has decisively pulled the world away from multilateralism or even from plurilateral ways of advancing foreign policy. This may change if Trump does not complete his term for any reason, or if the next US president is either a Republican in the conventional mould or a Democrat. But India cannot wait for that. The challenge of adapting the country's foreign policy to the new global realities is urgent. Every single day's delay entails opportunity costs for 1.4 billion Indians whose aspirations, no longer circumscribed by the nation's borders, are at stake. India's biggest contribution at the recent BRICS summit in the enchanting city of Rio de Janeiro was to propose a new expansion of that acronym. As India prepares to succeed Brazil as BRICS chair, Modi told his co-leaders at the summit: 'Our goal will be to redefine BRICS as Building Resilience and Innovation for Cooperation and Sustainability.' That means BRICS will no longer be Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa. But in the Trump era, it falls short of hard bargains and transactional foreign policy. Modi is obsessed with catchy acronyms—his administration is peppered with them.
