With gold, for me, it's always about quality, design & then price: Parvati Nair
Actress Parvati Nair, who took part in a Chennai Times Aadi Shopping Festival activity, speaks to us about what the season means to her, her love for jewellery, and shares tips on buying gold. .. ' AADI IS ALL ABOUT EXCITING OFFERS, WIDE SELECTIONS, AND GREAT DISCOUNTS' To me, the Aadi season is more than just another time of the year — it's all about exciting offers, wide selections, and great discounts. It's a perfect mix of celebration, bonding, and a little retail therapy. 'I'M FACINATED BY DESIGNS THAT BLEND TRADITIONAL STYLES WITH PRECIOUS STONES' I like both traditional and contemporary jewellery. When it comes to traditional pieces, I'm drawn to temple jewellery. What fascinates me now are designs that blend traditional styles with precious stones like diamonds, emeralds, rubies and pearls. I love exploring collections that are different. 'QUALITY FIRST, DESIGN NEXT, AND THEN COMES THE PRICE' When buying gold, quality comes first — it is the most important factor. After that, I look at design and then, price. Price matters, but if the design doesn't appeal to you or if the quality of gold isn't high, then spending any amount doesn't make sense. 'GOLD IS A GREAT ASSET FOR THE FUTURE COMPARED TO MF' Gold is definitely a solid investment as its price keeps rising steadily. Compared to mutual fund investments, which can fluctuate based on market conditions, gold is a more secure asset.

Cork and Kerry students channel Hollywood as they take on famous movie scenes for MTU Oscars
MTU's Staff Social Charity Committee ran a hugely successful event called MTU Oscars, which combined students and staff from all six campuses across Cork and Kerry for a night of glitz and glamour at the Rochestown Park Hotel in Cork on March 7. A total of six short films were produced for the occasion, with staff stepping into acting roles for beloved titles such as Calendar Girls, Misery, The Snapper, Sister Act, Forrest Gump, and Father Ted. MTU Oscars Charity Committee Chairperson, Ann O'Halloran, said it was a 'privilege' to be a part of the event. 'We were blown away by the staff from every corner of MTU that got involved, with the support from local businesses and the well wishes received, the length and breadth of the country. 'It gave staff a massive boost and created/cemented lifelong friendships. To do it for such a worthy charity was just the icing on the cake,' she said. Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland was selected through a university-wide vote and the funds raised will help AADI continue its vital work in training and placing assistance dogs with families of autistic children throughout Ireland. David McCarthy, Head of Fundraising and Communications at AADI said: 'On behalf of the families we support, thank you to everyone at MTU for making such a powerful and lasting impact,' Mr McCarthy said. MTU Staff Social Charity Committee thanked all the sponsors and local businesses who played a part in bringing the event to life.
