🪔✨ Diwali is almost here, and you know what that means… the diyas are coming out, the mithai is making its rounds, and the gift shopping is officially ON! 🎁💖

But this year, we`re thinking beyond the usual box of sweets! 😉

From gifts that`ll have the whole family laughing (yes, even the aunties! 😂) to thoughtful keepsakes, cozy chai moments, and little indulgences, we`ve rounded up some festive finds that are as special as the people you`re celebrating.

Because at the heart of Diwali, it`s never really about what`s inside the gift box. It`s about the love, laughter, and memories we share. ❤️

🎁 THE ULTIMATE DIWALI GIFT GUIDE is here, and we`ve got a little something for everyone on your list!

💬 Tell us, are you the early Diwali shopper or the last-minute gift-grabbing kind? 👀

IS AMERICA REALLY THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY? 👀

What if chasing success meant losing a part of who you are?

🎬 Meet Sriram Emani (@sriramemani), the actor, filmmaker and founder of IndianRaga, whose award-winning sci-fi film JAM BOY (@jamboyfilm) explores the dark side of the immigrant dream.

Fresh off its international premiere at IFFSA Toronto (@iffsatoronto), the film tackles ambition, cultural identity and the hidden cost of belonging.

🎤 In an exclusive conversation with ANOKHI Magazine`s Mehak Kapoor, Emani opens up about his unconventional journey, the inspiration behind JAM BOY, and why its dystopian future might be closer than we think.

✨ FROM THE OPERATING ROOM TO THE FOREFRONT OF A SKINCARE REVOLUTION.

Meet Dr. Arleen Lamba (@drarleenlamba), ANOKHI Magazine’s October Cover Star 💜

A physician, former anesthesiologist, entrepreneur and beauty industry disruptor, Dr. Lamba is the founder of GLO30 (@glo30skincare), the fast-growing skincare brand built around a “health club for your skin” philosophy.

Since launching GLO30 in 2012, she has brought together medicine, technology, personalized skincare and consumer education to create a very different kind of beauty experience, one that now includes GLO30 “skin gyms,” proprietary products, SmartGLO facials and the brand’s AI-powered skin analyzer, GLOria.

She is also a regular contributor on FOX5 DC, appears on NBC and Fox morning shows in major markets for her skincare expertise, and has been featured on CNBC, Forbes and Washingtonian.

🔥 IN THIS IN-DEPTH CONVERSATION, DR. ARLEEN LAMBA OPENS UP ABOUT:

🩺 Leaving anesthesiology to build an entirely new career in beauty and wellness
✨ The personal frustration that first pushed her to rethink the skincare industry
🏋🏽‍♀️ Why GLO30 treats skincare more like fitness than a one-off luxury
🤖 The role AI and technology are playing in the future of personalized skincare
🧴 Building a complete GLO30 ecosystem around treatments, products and consistency
🤎 Her perspective on treating melanin-rich skin with greater care and precision
📺 Why consumer education has become such a major part of her work
📈 Scaling GLO30 while protecting the experience and philosophy behind the brand
💡 Where she believes skincare is heading next

💬 “Consistency beats intensity.”
