Fake Sangeet comes to Chennai
Yet, it didn't keep the guests off the dance floor. The traditional dhols came to the rescue. 'We had to stop the DJ due to the rain and electricity fluctuations, but we had dhols play for the rest of the night, and people just kept dancing in the rain. It actually became the most enjoyed part of the night,' says Misha. For Zenil Sunil Gada, an undergraduate student, the experience was unlike anything he'd seen in the city. 'It felt fresh, fun, and something Chennai hadn't seen before. The vibe was chaotic and desi — exactly what I was hoping for,' he says. 'The mehendi station, the food, the dhol, everything felt like a real wedding. And the rain made it unforgettable.' Engineering student Saurav Mishra from Mumbai was equally impressed. 'The dhol completely stole the show. From the moment it started, everyone hit the dance floor,' he says. 'It was better than a regular party, it had that extra desi energy.' The ticket for the event was priced at `1,499 which included unlimited food. The wedding-grade feast had everything — from welcome drinks to starters like chilli paneer and crispy potato butterflies, to mains and desserts like eggless chocolate truffle cake to satisfy the sweet cravings. And then, there were the extras that added Sangeet vibe — free mehendi stations, glitter booths, and, of course, dhol to grab the attention of mall-goers, resulting in walk-ins.

Bikerwear style decoded: Beginner's guide to rocking streetwear fashion that's grit, glam and full-on rebelcore
Bikerwear has taken a U-turn from the highway and hit the high street, rolling straight into wardrobes. Yes, it's still built for long rides and rugged terrain, designed to endure the grit of bike trips. But now, biker style is incorporated into everyday streetwear for everyday edgy glam, from coffee runs to evening concerts. Biker girl aesthetic is taking over wardrobes.(Reference pics: Pinterest) There's no denying bikerwear has an innate rogue and rugged edge, but it's also earned serious style cred and won hearts as it gearshifted straight onto mood boards and OOTD posts. Bikerwear is still rooted in utility, made for the road and the dust, but today, it's also uber-cool, fashion-forward, exuding the right amount of nonchalant, runway attitude. ALSO READ: Commuter core decoded: 6 ways to comfortably style fashion trend that is for all the girls on the go In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Sangeet Kishore, Business Head at Royal Enfield Apparel, shared his expertise, explaining how biker gear has grown from pure utility to a fashion-forward style. He said, 'For decades, biker gear was purely functional, built to withstand road rash and weather the miles. But somewhere between the rise of streetwear and the fall of fast fashion, biker gear did what it was destined to do: it became undeniably cool. Part of this trend comes from nostalgia and Gen Z's love for retro grunge and practical, rugged style. But it's also a reflection of where we are culturally." "Moto-fashion, with its protective fabrics and aggressive silhouettes, is rising. It is quietly tough, endlessly adaptable, and built for movement. After years of fashion leaning into the performative, there's a shift towards substance. And this is where moto-wear lands, just the right amount of edge, wrapped in gear that was made to handle impact,' explained Sangeet. Biker aesthetic is cool and mysterious among the youth. (PC: Royal Enfield Apparel and Pinterest) Sangeet Kishore from Royal Enfield Apparel shared a detailed guide with us, covering how classic biker gear is reimagined for modern wardrobes: The iconic jacket, reinvented The motorcycle jacket has always been a symbol of rebellion, from Brando and Beckham to Bollywood stars. But the 2025 version is all about smart design. It's lighter, has zip vents, waterproof fabric, and handy velcro patches. Some come in bold colours, others stay classic with vintage touches. No matter the style, it adds shape and instantly upgrades a simple tee and jeans. Pro tip: Wear it open over a loose shirt or a neat polo. Cargo pants upgrade Skinny jeans had a good run. But when you've experienced trousers designed with superflow mesh, four-way stretch, and abrasion-resistant fabric, it's hard to go back to anything that isn't engineered. These aren't just for rides, they're ideal for quick city trips, airport runs, or even just relaxing at home. You can pair them with boxy knits or cropped bombers for a cool, modern look. Boots The boots coming out of motorcycle stables now are thick-soled, water-repellent, and unapologetically bold. Some still have details from their off-road roots, like padded ankles and grippy soles, but now people wear them with skirts, cargo shorts, or even suits. They make your feet feel strong, safe, and ready for any puddle or rough road, which is a win for both style and comfort. Accessories Accessories include heavy-duty crossbodies, weatherproof duffels, toolkits disguised as pouches, and gloves that look like they've seen some things. In the age of 'quiet utility', these pieces are having their fashion moment. What's more, the best accessories now have a vintage feel, with tan leather, aged metal and canvas rolls that look like they came from an old motorcycle bag.

Your Ultimate Guide to Festive and Sangeet Fashion for Women
Indian fashion is deeply rooted in tradition yet constantly evolving to embrace new trends. As the festive and wedding seasons approach, the excitement to dress up and dazzle intensifies. Whether you are preparing for Diwali, Navratri, or an upcoming family wedding, selecting the right outfits becomes essential to look your best at every event. Among the most cherished wardrobe staples are elegant festive looks and show-stopping sangeet ensembles that bring glamour, grace, and individuality together. Festive dressing is about celebrating culture, color, and vibrancy. From intimate family gatherings to grand pujas, festivals bring with them a chance to embrace traditional fashion while experimenting with modern twists. The right outfit not only uplifts your personal style but also sets the tone for joy and festivity. For those looking to refresh their wardrobes, Festive Outfits for Women offer a wide array of choices—ranging from embroidered kurta sets, flowy anarkalis, and intricately designed lehengas to fusion wear like crop-top skirt combos and draped sarees. These outfits come in vibrant color palettes, adorned with fine embellishments, mirror work, and thread embroidery that reflect the celebratory spirit. The ideal festive outfit should strike a balance between tradition and trend. While fabrics like silk, georgette, organza, and cotton are perennial favorites, recent fashion trends are incorporating ruffled sleeves, cape-style dupattas, and asymmetrical hemlines to add a contemporary touch. Colors such as mustard yellow, deep maroon, emerald green, and pastel pinks are trending this season. These shades not only look rich but also photograph beautifully, making your outfit stand out in festive gatherings and family portraits. To complete a festive look, accessories play a vital role. Traditional jhumkas, maang tikkas, and bangles bring out the ethnic charm of any outfit. Pair your ensemble with embroidered juttis or embellished sandals to keep it both stylish and comfortable. A potli bag or clutch with zari or mirror work adds a refined finishing touch. Makeup can be kept subtle with a hint of highlighter, rosy cheeks, and bold kohl eyes. Hairstyles like soft curls, half-braids, or a neat bun decorated with gajra can elevate your overall appearance and match the vibe of any festival. After the cheerful days of festivals comes the glamour and rhythm of wedding functions—particularly the Sangeet night. A key event in any Indian wedding, the Sangeet is where family and friends perform, dance, and celebrate with unfiltered joy. It's the perfect occasion to make a fashion statement that combines elegance with energy. Sangeet outfits often reflect the drama and sparkle of the night. With music, dance, and lights playing a major role in the celebration, your attire should be designed to stand out while offering enough comfort for movement. Popular outfit choices for Sangeet include sequin lehengas, draped sarees, gowns with capes, and pre-stitched sarees that are easy to manage while dancing. Designers are also introducing Indo-western pieces like ruffled skirts, structured blouses, and embellished jackets to give a modern edge to classic silhouettes. Fabrics like net, satin, velvet, and shimmer georgette are often used to bring a rich, glamorous texture to these outfits. Depending on your personal style, you can go minimal with soft pastels and mirror work or all-out bold with deep jewel tones and metallic accents. Sangeet ceremonies often involve hours of dancing and movement. Choosing a breathable and lightweight outfit ensures you remain at ease throughout the event. Opt for soft can-can beneath lehengas instead of stiff ones and select stretchable blouses that allow free movement. Built-in dupattas, cape sleeves, or attached drapes are excellent choices for those looking to avoid the hassle of managing a dupatta while dancing. For shoes, wedges or embroidered flats keep your feet comfortable without compromising on style. Accessories for the Sangeet can be more dramatic than for day functions. Statement chokers, danglers, matha pattis, and layered necklaces complement most evening outfits. Don't hesitate to experiment with bold accessories to match the celebratory tone. Your makeup can also reflect the night's vibrance. Go for smokey eyes, metallic eyeshadows, or glitter liners. A bold lip color like deep red or plum adds drama, while dewy skin and well-highlighted cheekbones catch the light beautifully. Hairstyles like twisted buns, fishtail braids, or flowing waves complete the look with a polished finish. Sangeet fashion is all about personality and performance. Whether you're performing a dance, cheering on your loved ones, or capturing memories, your outfit should make you feel confident and ready for the limelight. A curated collection of Sangeet Ceremony Dresses for Women offers countless options to help you find the perfect look for this unforgettable night. From contemporary silhouettes to heavily embroidered ethnic wear, you'll find outfits that not only align with the current trends but also allow you to celebrate without holding back. From festive rituals to musical evenings, Indian celebrations are a beautiful blend of tradition and modern flair. Fashion becomes more than just dressing up—it becomes a way to connect with your roots, showcase your personality, and make lasting impressions. With a carefully chosen festive wardrobe and a stunning sangeet outfit, you'll be ready to celebrate every moment in style. So whether you're lighting diyas or dancing under the stars, let your attire reflect your inner joy and festive spirit. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Car involved in Pamela Ling's abduction case found near Thai border
The family was also told that Interpol has yet to be notified. Sangeet Kaur Deo and Pamela Ling SHAH ALAM – The vehicle believed to be involved in the abduction case of Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yueh was found abandoned near the Thailand border. Ling's legal representative, Sangeet Kaur Deo, said there has been no update from authorities regarding the discovery. According to Sangeet, Ling's family was informed about the discovery of the vehicle several weeks after her abduction on April 9. 'Several weeks have passed, yet there has been no update on the forensic testing of the items found in the car. 'Given the strong possibility that she was taken across the border, the family was also told that Interpol has yet to be notified. What exactly is the police waiting for?' she said in a statement on Monday. On May 18, Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa said that the whereabouts of Ling, who had been reported missing since April 9, have yet to be confirmed, whether she is still in the country or has been taken abroad. On May 18, Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa said that the whereabouts of Ling, who had been reported missing since April 9, have yet to be confirmed, whether she is still in the country or has been taken abroad. According to him, checks on official records showed no exit from the country has been recorded involving Ling. Further commenting, Sangeet said Ling was one of the key witnesses in a money laundering investigation but was allegedly kidnapped after failing to appear to give her statement at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters. She also questioned the investigation procedures carried out by the authorities regarding the case. 'Have MACC officers been thoroughly questioned? Have the police identified the kind of information Ling was about to disclose to MACC and who the interested parties might be? 'Have statements been taken from them?' she questioned. Sangeet also questioned whether the police had followed proper protocols in handling a missing persons case. 'It is clear that the police is not taking this disappearance seriously and they do not seem interested in conducting a thorough investigation. 'Selective investigations, where some cases are prioritised while others are blatantly ignored, amount to a denial of fundamental rights. 'While authorities continue to wait for yet another suspicious disappearance to be forgotten in this country, Malaysians must question and condemn the authorities' blatant and selective inaction,' she added.

‘What are they waiting for?' Missing Pamela Ling's family questions police silence, lack of Interpol alert
Published on: Monday, June 16, 2025 Published on: Mon, Jun 16, 2025 By: Ida Lim, Malay Mail Text Size: Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yueh had been scheduled to appear at the MACC headquarters on April 9 for investigations in a money laundering case, but went missing after her ride via the e-hailing app Grab was intercepted by unidentified persons in several vehicles. — File pic Kuala Lumpur: The family of Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yueh today pressed for updates and answers on the police's investigation into her disappearance two months ago while she was on the way to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). The family also asked when Malaysian police would alert the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) about her case. Advertisement Speaking on behalf of Ling's family, their lawyer Sangeet Kaur Deo noted that the police have no leads after recording the statements of 47 persons in its investigation on her April 9 disappearance. Sangeet said Ling's family had over the past six weeks provided information beyond what was requested, but that there was no feedback on investigations into the information given. Sangeet listed six questions to the police regarding the case, including whether the police had thoroughly questioned MACC officers. 'Have the PDRM determined the nature of information that Pamela was providing to MACC and who were interested parties? Have statements been taken from them?' she asked in a statement today. Sangeet said Ling's family was informed a few weeks ago that one of the cars seen on close circuit television (CCTV) footage was found abandoned near the Thai border, and that no updates have been given on forensic testing of items found in the car. 'Given the obvious possibility that she was taken across the border, the family was last informed (a few weeks ago) that Interpol had not yet been alerted,' she said, asking what the police are waiting for regarding alerting Interpol. She also asked if the police had complied with its own standard operating procedures (SOPs) in missing persons cases, and if it had asked for expert assistance if it required such aid. Ling had been scheduled to appear at the MACC headquarters on April 9 for investigations in a money laundering case, but went missing after her ride via the e-hailing app Grab was intercepted by unidentified persons in several vehicles. Ling's lawyer filed a police report on the same day after she failed to appear at the MACC headquarters, and the police are investigating her case as a missing persons case. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
