Ditch cafe-hopping and visit these 5 must-see art exhibitions in Mumbai this June
While June marks the start of Mumbai's much-anticipated monsoon season, it is also the season of creativity and expression, when the city's most awaited galleries reveal their share of new and engaging exhibitions. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Here are five must-see art exhibits that will captivate, challenge and transport you, with their tactile narratives and symbolic installations. 1. 'It Didn't Ask to Be Art' by Manoj Jain - Soho House, Juhu Curated by Dheeya Soumaiya, Manoj Jain's debut solo exhibit explores the subtleties that differentiate imaginative motivation from interpretation. By questioning standard ideas of art, the exhibition encourages spectators to consider the lines separating conscious creativity from coincidental brilliance. The exhibition's minimal location at Soho House provides an inviting atmosphere for this reflective voyage. 2. 'Bon-manush' by Shikh Sabbir Alam - Experimenter, Colaba "Bon-manush," a collection of artworks reviewing the relationship between people and environment, is on display in Shikh Sabbir Alam's first standalone show in Mumbai. Combining the Bengali terms for "forest" and "person," this name emphasizes the contradictions inherent in the human identity and the world of nature. Grounded in his theories of nature and life, Alam's pieces provide an immersive journey that juxtaposes reality with illusion. 3. 'Untamed Heart' by Laila Khan Furniturewalla - Gallery Art & Soul, Worli "Untamed Heart" by Laila Khan Furniturewalla, which marks the artist's return to the art world after eighteen years, is a very intimate show that documents her spiritual journey and artistic progression. With a heartfelt homage to her parents and her artistic path, the pieces explore identity, emotion and memory with the incorporation of sand, gold leaf and reflective surfaces. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 4. 'Pillars of Fruit and Bone' by Rithika Merchant - TARQ, Fort The latest paintings in Rithika Merchant's solo installation "Pillars of Fruit and Bone," at TARQ, elaborate on concepts from her earlier pieces. Attendees are drawn into a realm where the lines between the natural and the mystical are blurred by the exhibition's intricate dive into folklore and nature. 5. 'The Babu and the Bazaar' - DAG, Fort This exhibition at DAG features art from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Bengal, with a focus on Kalighat and early Bengal paintings done in oil. By assessing the relationship within classical forms of art and the thriving urban culture of imperial Bengal, "The Babu and the Bazaar" provides a glimpse into the creative and cultural atmosphere of the era. Each of these shows offer an original take on a variety of creative expressions, making them worth a visit for those residing in or visiting Mumbai in June.

How Richard Caring's son created Fulham's coolest new club
He shoots, he scores. Shahid Khan, the billionaire businessman who owns Fulham FC — and the NFL Jacksonville Jaguars — has added a trophy development to Craven Cottage football ground. The private members' club called Lighthouse Social, on the top three floors of the new Riverside stand at Fulham, has views up and down the Thames and sightlines across London to the City. Its chic, deeply inviting interiors that are opening June 11 were a team effort. Jamie Caring, consultant on the project since its inception, was the initial signing to the squad. Caring, who worked under Nick Jones, rolling out Soho House outposts around the world, says: 'A lot of clubs would say, we're a home from home. But I think a lot of people's homes aren't very exciting — in the nicest possible way. And I guess, Lighthouse Social is more like the apartment of the coolest friend you know.' Caring, who is the son of Richard Caring, the owner of Mayfair clubs such as Annabel's, Mark's Club, George, Harry's Bar and the Bath & Racquets Club, says: 'Usually a club has a protagonist behind it, right? They think, we really want to impress people with this, here's a room that's made of chrome or something. Smart people like Mr Khan realise that the club is not necessarily for him. It's for the community that you want to build.' The style of the club at Fulham Pier is quite distinct from his father's glitzy gaffs and a move on, too, from the cosy comfort zones of the Soho House brand. It's low-key, glamorous and light-hearted. Apply here if you fancy watching the boat race, margarita in hand, from under the pergolas and parasols of the roof terrace. It's a sophisticated hangout for fun-loving west Londoners who frankly cannot be arsed taxiing to the West End to dine, drink and dance. Stuart Forbes, the second member of the design dream team behind Lighthouse Social, was perfectly placed for the role, since he spent 13 years on the GB rowing squad. As lead designers, his practice, Stuart Forbes Associates, delivered the project, from initial layouts through to final finishes, furniture and fixtures. The interior flourishes were supplied by the Parisian interior designers Dion & Arles, the duo behind the elegant, arty interiors of restaurants such as Bar des Prés and Il Gattopardo and Dovetale. Carey says: 'When they presented their designs, we were partly mystified, but also really excited because I think it's hard to create a club environment that really feels unique.' • Read more luxury reviews, advice and insights from our experts So who will make up the Lighthouse family? The goal is to recruit an even split between men and women. The minimum age is 25 — 'it's not a youth club.' The oldest founder member at present is 75 years old and the youngest will be among the child members (1-6 years), whose annual subscription will gain them access to the crèche, Little Lighthouse. Under-17s, while they can be invited by members as guests, must depart before 6pm; dogs, as is non-negotiable in this postcode, are welcome at all hours. Member gain access to superlative loafing opportunities. There are more lounges than the most dedicated lounger can ever lounge in, each decorated and furnished in a subtly different style, from the art deco glamour of the third floor River bar — think fancy Murano glass lights on a monumental marble topped bar — to the English eccentricity of the Conservatory. There's a dining room on the fourth floor, clad in a sage green timber trellis backed by mirrors, and featuring seating upholstered in William Morris print. This is the last place you expected to encounter The Strawberry Thief. 'If you think back to the original Greek Street in Soho, it had 20 rooms, but they weren't so markedly different in terms of look and feel as these ones are,' Caring says. 'The designs are inspirational and they're a bit mad, which people love.' On the third floor are 11 interiors: sitting rooms, salons, dining rooms, bars, party spaces and cosy snugs, with rooms flowing one to another as gracefully as the Thames below. On the fourth floor, six rooms (again sans doors) include a games room called The Escape. 'I think that every member will have their own favourite space,' Caring says. His is the fifth floor rooftop. 'There's a magic to being on those terraces. If you think about elevated places where you can see nearly the whole of London, there just aren't many, in the centre of London. I think that they're pretty epic.' With architectural lighting design by Nulty, pergolas by Renson and parasols by Tucci, the terrace has a Riviera feel, and accordingly the east and west sides of the rooftop have been named after south of France resorts. There is 'Nice' on the Hammersmith side and 'St Tropez' facing towards Putney. There is more seating in Nice, while St Trop is party central, the floor cleared for dancing. Both command panoramic views of South Bank boat club and school playing fields across the river. It's time to pick a side. One mother has already declared her preferred way of watching her son play football will henceforth be from Nice. Those who opt for St Tropez can look down and see another lighthouse highlight — an infinity pool on the storey below, part of a separate spa where members can book exclusive swim sessions. For my money, the smaller spaces are the gems, furnished in custom seating covered in luxury upholstery from Lelièvre, Dedar, Pierre Frey and Liberty London. On the third floor, there's The Carriage Room, its red plush seats arranged in a series of booths, like a luxury train. Next door is The Overlook, a room where the walls are lined with 16 panels of custom wallpaper depicting a pinkish shepherds' delight evening sky. On the other side of The Carriage is Lillie's bar — named after the local socialite Lillie Langtry — with a baby grand piano that has been christened Celine. The most Instagrammable interior of all, in the proud tradition of crowd-pleasing members' club loos, is the unisex lavatory on the fourth floor. Mirrored flanks of the long slim island of basins in the centre of the room reflect back the chequered marble floor, and hand washers have the most magnificent river view in town. There's space to hang out, gossip — room to rollerskate should the mood take you. My only concern is that it's unclear where members will fix their lippy. But there's no doubt the Lighthouse team will supply a solution. Every detail of this riverside retreat is being revisited, finessed and refined up to the moment of opening. Carey says: 'When people ask me what my dad is like, what he taught me, I always say — and this even comes from being a child doing my homework — his mantra was 'being good enough is never good enough'. If it's a 6 out of 10, then you're not trying hard enough.' Well, this was a 10. Back of the net. For over-30s, membership costs £1,200 a year and for 25-30, £780 a year; access to the crèche for a child member — aged 1-6, whose parent or carer must be a member — is £840 a year. If you are 7-17 you can come in as a guest of a member and disappear before 6pm.

Meghan Markle's single-word response when asked about first meeting Kate
To mark Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's engagement, the pair gave an interview to the BBC - and the Duchess of Sussex revealed what it was like to meet sister-in-law the now Princess of Wales for the first time Meeting your partner's family for the first time is daunting - not least for Meghan Markle, who had to introduce herself to royalty when she first started dating Harry. And the Duchess of Sussex revealed her first impression of her sister-in-law Kate after meeting her at a private dinner she hosted with her then husband-to-be. Harry spotted Meghan on Instagram in 2016 before asking her out to dinner at Soho House in London. From there, the couple went on more dates before spending a week camping in the wilderness together. After Harry and Meghan's engagement in 2017, the couple gave an interview to the BBC's Mishal Hussein and recalled Meghan's first meeting with Kate. Speaking at the time, Harry said: "It was exciting I mean I've - you know I'd been seeing her for a period of time when I literally didn't tell anybody at all. "And then William was longing to meet her and so was Catherine, so you know, being our neighbours, we managed to get that in a couple of - well quite a few times now and Catherine has been absolutely..." And Meghan with a one-word answer chipped in: "Wonderful." She praised the Royal Family for being so welcoming toward her and recalled the special moment when she met the late Queen for the first time. Meghan said: "I think, you know, to be able to meet her through his lens, not just with his honour and respect for her as the monarch, but the love that he has for her as his grandmother, all of those layers have been so important for me so that when I met her I had such a deep understanding and of course incredible respect for being able to have that time with her. And we've had a really - she's - she's an incredible woman." When Meghan first joined the royal fold, many thought that she and Kate would be able to bond over their shared experience of marrying into the Royal Family. But it seems the two women never really hit it off, due to vastly different personalities, and later Meghan admitted suffering a 'jarring' moment on seeing Kate for the first time. Speaking in episode two of the six-part Harry & Meghan Netflix, Meghan explained: "When Will and Kate came over, and I met her for the first time, they came over for dinner, I remember I was in ripped jeans and I was barefoot. I was a hugger. I've always been a hugger, I didn't realise that that is really jarring for a lot of Brits. "I guess I started to understand very quickly that the formality on the outside carried through on the inside. There is a forward-facing way of being, and then you close the door and go 'You can relax now', but that formality carries over on both sides. And that was surprising to me." Meanwhile, Harry went into more detail surrounding the two women in his memoir Spare, as he recounts several times that his wife, Meghan, seemed at loggerheads with his sister-in-law, Kate in the early days of their romance. He claims the two women had a row over bridesmaid dresses in the lead-up to his wedding that left Meghan in tears and that Kate "grimaced" when the duchess borrowed her lip gloss. And he writes how Kate asked for an apology from Meghan when she accused her of having "baby brain" following the birth of Prince Louis. Harry also pinpoints the exact moment he realised Meghan and Kate might not have been on the same page during the very same dinner. In Spare, Harry notes how Meghan cooked and that all seemed to be going well as they chatted about Wimbledon and the legal drama Suits. He writes: "The only possibly discordant note I could think of was the marked difference in how the two women dressed, which both of them seemed to notice. Meg: ripped jeans, barefoot. Kate: done up to the nines. No big deal, I thought."

Wolverine Worldwide, Soho House, Funko, Manitowoc, and Columbus McKinnon Stocks Trade Up, What You Need To Know
A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after the major indices rebounded (Nasdaq +2.0%, S&P 500 +1.5%) as President Trump postponed the planned 50% tariff on European Union imports, shifting the start date to July 9, 2025. Companies with substantial business ties to Europe likely had some relief as the delay reduced near-term cost pressures and preserved cross-border demand. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Among others, the following stocks were impacted: Footwear company Wolverine Worldwide (NYSE:WWW) jumped 5.1%. Is now the time to buy Wolverine Worldwide?

Columbus McKinnon's shares are quite volatile and have had 19 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. Columbus McKinnon is down 51.9% since the beginning of the year, and at $17.78 per share, it is trading 59.5% below its 52-week high of $43.93 from May 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Columbus McKinnon's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $564.09.
