It was offered on the BSE, and had been an age-old system for trading on margin Shankar Sharma Listen to This Article I woke up that morning in February of year 2000, with a particularly bad attack of the 'imposter syndrome'. This syndrome should strike most people who make some quick riches at the casino/races/ lottery/ stock market. But it rarely does. I was in my mid-30s. That's a particularly dangerous age to get dangerously rich and I was exactly in that hot zone.

Jonathan Anderson who has been appointed as the sole creative director of womenswear and menswear at Christian Dior, showcased his debut collection for the luxury label in Paris on June 27, 2025. While the show created a lot of buzz online with celebrities such as Robert Pattinson, Rihanna, Daniel Craig and more in attendance, it also created online chatter. View this post on Instagram A post shared by @ideservecouture Fashion commentator and content creator, Hanan Besnovic who runs the Instagram handle @ideservecouture, made a video of a particular goat and ivory coat with a houndstooth design. He accompanied his post with the caption, "34 days to create a 200k Dior coat? Well here is a little more context to Dior's 200k coat!" And this is exactly what caught our eyes. This intricately crafted coat stood out to us because of its use of Mukaish work hailing from the lanes of Lucknow. Hanan Besnovic too pointed out in his video that, "Why is it a 200k dollar coat? Well, there's a little more context to it. The coat is from the debut collection of Jonathan Anderson for Dior, but the procedure used to make this coat is not easy. First of all, the embroidery that you see on this coat is made by using the traditional Mukaish technique. This is a traditional Indian hand embroidery technique." He further adds how this technique of Mukaish embroidery is done, and also says that 12 embroiderers were required to make this coat and it took 34 days to create it. All About Lucknow's Mukaish Work Mukaish which is also called Badla work is a traditional Indian embroidery that finds its roots in Lucknow and involves the use of strands of metal. These strands are twisted into a pattern that forms a design that is the hallmark of craftmanship. The wires sued to create two distinct types of embroidery including kamdani - which features the entire pattern filled using badla, and Mukaish which is otherwise called fardi ka kaam, which employs metal wires being insterted and twisted into the fabric to create small dots of floral and geometric patterns. While the gold mukaish work dots are common, the houndstooth pattern was meticulously created on the Dior coat. Mukaish is an almost dying craft of Lucknow, is an age-old embroidery with very few karigars kaing exclsuive Mukaish sarees as it is mostly done to highlight or adorn Chikankari work. Over the years, Chikankari travelled far and wide across the globe, but Mukaish stuck to the tiny lanes of Lucknow. The karigars of this craft are also called Badla in Gujarat and Maharashtra, are a dying populace.

Mumbai: Actress Taapsee Pannu traveled to Barabanki on Wednesday for the fourth time with her husband Mathias Boe. Taapsee visited a primary school Garri located in the Ramnagar development block of Barabanki. During this visit, she inspired the female students to empower themselves through education and sports.

Taapsee also gifted bicycles to the girls, so that they could ride them to school. When asked about the same, the 'Badla' actress shared, "I have been coming here to meet these girls every year since 2022, when I took on the responsibility of their education. They were in standard 1 back then and now they will be graduating from 5th to 6th standard, moving from the primary to the elementary school. I do not want any girl to opt out of school because their elementary school is far away. So, I decided to come and boost their morale and gift them bicycles so that they could travel to school on their own." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Taapsee Pannu (@taapsee) Under the Nani Kali project run by the Nandi Foundation, the education department collaborates to provide 2 hours of free tutoring after school for children at Primary School Garri in the Ramnagar block of Barabanki district.

Co-starring Ishwak Singh, the project will share the journey of a mother's pursuit to find and rescue her kidnapped daughter, exploring themes of revenge and redemption.
