Japanese vlogger compares Bengaluru airport to '5-star hotel': 'Fake or natural green?'

Mint2 days ago
A Japanese content creator has gone viral after posting a video of his visit to Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru, describing it as 'one of the most beautiful airports in the world.' The video was shared by a reel creator named Kaito, as per his Instagram bio. In the clip, he can be seen walking through the terminal, clearly impressed by its architecture, greenery, and overall atmosphere.
'This is Bengaluru International Airport. This architecture, I have never seen any airport like this before,' he says in the video. 'Guys, this is inside of Bengaluru International Airport. I don't know the official name of this airport. But there are so many trees hanging from the ceiling.'
Kaito compared the airport's interiors to those of a luxury hotel. 'It looks like a 5-star hotel or something. And it smells really really good inside. It smells like... like Aesop, if you know, the cosmetic brand.'
He also pointed out some of the unique features, saying, 'Actually, it's not a tree, it's like a bell. A huge bell covered with trees hanging from the ceiling. And there is also a fountain there. That's insane. There's like an indoor waterfall here.'
While admiring the design, Kaito compared Bengaluru's airport to some of the world's best, including Singapore's Changi Airport and Doha's Hamad International Airport.
'There is like a garden in Changi Airport, Singapore, and Hamad International Airport, Doha, Qatar, but this is like another level, because the whole airport is covered with green. Is this fake or natural green?' he asked.
He added, 'There is a garden at some airports, but this is not garden, like whole airport is like garden. Oh my gosh, is this real or not? Oh I think it's real. All plants here are real, but there is no like insect or something.'
Pressed for time, Kaito wrapped up the video saying, 'This is a shopping area, but I don't have much time today. My boarding is already started, so I have to hurry. I don't have much time to enjoy like eating or shopping.'
The reel, captioned 'One of the most beautiful airport in the world', has received widespread praise online.
One user commented, 'Yes, it's one of India's best airports. We're proud!'
Another said, 'This feels like a garden you can fly from!'
A third added, 'South India's pride, truly stunning.'
Someone else wrote, 'Our airports are changing the way the world sees India.'

From gem-encrusted knives to sculptural spoons, cutlery becomes art

Gone are the days when cutlery was seen only as a tool for eating. Today, cutlery is getting the designer treatment, with gem-studded spoons and forks so pretty they could double as jewellery. Think flatware encrusted with gems, or handcrafted silver forks that look like ribbons. This recent wave proves that cutlery is as much about decoration as it is about function. Claude Lalanne, 1966. Credits: Instagram/studioshamshiri The trend is a full-circle comeback of something that's been around for centuries. Since ancient times, humans have elevated mealtime with ornate tools, from bronze and wooden utensils in Egyptian tombs to silver spoons from Pompeii. Over the years, cutlery became a symbol of taste and refinement among the elite. The Victorians took it to another level with specialised tools for every dish, from grape scissors to terrapin forks. In Russia, the House of Fabergé crafted exquisite gold and silver sets for royalty, while across the Atlantic, Tiffany & Co. defined luxury dining during the Gilded Age. Today's resurgence is simply a modern take on a long-standing tradition. Many famous artists also dabbled in cutlery design. In 1966, Claude Lalanne designed her iconic Iolas silverware, mixing leaves with crustacean motifs. Salvador Dalí's surreal cutlery set from 1957 featured a four-tooth fork with a fish handle, and an elephant fork with three teeth, among other stunning designs. In the 1930s, Alexander Calder designed unique utensils with brass, iron and silver wire, giving them an artistic spin. Fast forward to today, and cutlery is having another moment, thanks to a new wave of artists and a growing interest in collectables, one-of-a-kind objects. Think of it as table jewellery—functional but guaranteed to wow. With the rise of art and design fairs, collectors and hosts have plenty of unique options to explore. So the next time you're hosting a fancy dinner, don't underestimate the power of a beautiful spoon. (Written by Aarohi Lakhera)
