Three generations of a family of mango growers narrated their love for the fruit and how they would pick it from the trees once upon a time. The youngest among them, Anshuman Singh Chauhan (extreme right), says with a smile as if calling out to the mangoes to fall from the trees themselves since the Insta generation is mostly busy browsing through mobile. Anshuman says, 'Ab khud hi gir jao tum toot kar zameen par, patthar maarne waala bachpan mobile mein vyast hai!' Farmer Radhe Baba, from Kisan Mango Society, refers to mangoes as his 'children'. Dr Dimple, a resident of south Delhi's Kailash Colony, says, 'This is my first-time at this festival and I'm stunned seeing the variety of mangoes here.'(Photo: Shantanu Bhattacharya/HT) Suhaag Sindoor is no more a Hindi film title but also a mango now! Move beyond supernatural fantasy drama on TV, and try Nagin mango! This Karela (bitter gourd) will taste sweet.

The White Shirt Revolution: A Modern Essential in Every Indian Wardrobe
In the heart of Tamil Nadu's textile belt, where tradition flows as richly as the cotton spun through its looms, a quiet style movement began. It wasn't loud, but it was confident. And it came in white. The White Shirt Revolution: A Modern Essential in Every Indian Wardrobe Since 2003, a timeless classic has been redefining how Indian men dress. Emerging from Erode, a region steeped in textile heritage, the white shirt evolved from a symbol of formality into an emblem of contemporary elegance. At the centre of this shift? The quintessential white shirt. In South India, white is more than a shade. It speaks of purity, purpose, and quiet prestige. From political leaders to everyday professionals, the white shirt for men is worn not just to be noticed, but to be remembered. The style remains true to its roots while adapting to modern tastes — sharper, cooler, and infinitely more wearable. A Shirt for All Seasons and Settings Whether for the boardroom, a festive gathering, or a relaxed Sunday brunch, the white shirt blends seamlessly into every part of life. Made from 100 percent premium cotton, it offers breathable comfort, stain resistance, and tailored fits that strike the ideal balance between heritage and trend. A Canvas for Individual Style With details like soft and stiff Chinese collars and the choice of full or half sleeves, the white shirt adapts to personal preference and occasion. Slip into a classic formal cut for work or a soft casual style for the weekend. This wardrobe essential effortlessly transitions from one look to another. Pair it with navy trousers for business finesse, layer it under a leather jacket for evenings out, or wear it with a traditional dhoti for a moment that calls for cultural grace. The white shirt becomes what you want it to be. Where Heritage and Style Converge What makes the white shirt stand apart is how it brings together innovation and tradition. As it continues to evolve, it stays rooted in India's rich textile history while being reimagined for a new generation that values both heritage and ease. From crisp formals to laid-back classics, each shirt carries the legacy of craftsmanship while serving the needs of modern style seekers. It's not just clothing — it's an experience of understated elegance. A Return to Elegant Simplicity In a world that moves fast and trends that change faster, the white shirt stands still — steady, reliable, and timeless. It reminds us that true style doesn't need to shout. It just needs to fit. As India's new generation rediscovers the quiet power of refined dressing, the white shirt continues to lead the way. Always relevant. Always right. Note to readers: This article is part of HT's paid consumer connect initiative and is independently created by the brand.
