Alphabetical order
Studying on digital gadgets has meant our relationship with bodily books has dwindled (elevate your hand in case you, like me, have tapped the nook of a bodily ebook to show a web page) however a latest buy introduced me nearer to the numerous books crying out to be learn from my cabinets. I picked up some lovely metallic bookmarks with filigree work in brass end from Anand Prakash, the Delhi-based design home, that includes numerous letters of the alphabet; some to present and one to make use of. The web site has an enormous vary of bookmarks in numerous designs, from spiritual motifs to cute ones like cameras, aeroplanes and guitars. At ₹450, they make excellent items with a private contact, whether or not you get an alphabet one or one thing that displays a cherished one’s pursuits. – Shrabonti Bagchi
Weekend listening
5 albums in, Vampire Weekend remains to be a Cheshire cat of a bunch, their little pop symphonies grinning at listeners as they fade away. Their newest, Solely God Was Above Us, begins with the careening Ice Cream Piano, and continues brightly over 10 fussed-over tracks. Ezra Koenig’s songwriting is someplace between vaguely significant and playful. There are such a lot of tasteful touches: the ethereal refrain in Mary Boone; the Graceland-like guitar half in Pravda. Nonetheless, I’ve heard the album a number of instances and can be hard-pressed to sing two strains from it unaided. It’s the Vampire Weekend conundrum: nice so long as it’s taking part in, dissolving into nothingness the minute it’s turned off. – Uday Bhatia

Trendy Cantonese delicacies
I occurred to go to The Legacy Home on the Rosewood Lodge, Hong Kong, for dinner simply after it received a Michelin star, earlier this yr, and at last bought to grasp what the fuss was all about. Reservations are laborious to come back by at this high quality eating restaurant, helmed by the soft-spoken chef Li Chi Wai. Specialising in refined Cantonese delicacies, the restaurant pays homage to the legacy of the founding father of the Rosewood Lodge Group—Cheng Yu-Tung. One of many highlights of my meal was the best way through which the chef had used aged and dried tangerine peel—an ingredient thought-about as valuable as gold in Hong Kong. It added a beautiful flavour to a dish of deep-fried duck and mashed taro, and likewise to the minced fish soup. The reminiscence of the meal is one that can linger for a very long time to come back. — Avantika Bhuyan
