Be my Muse
If you haven’t been to Muse, at Kalaghoda, yet, please don’t tell anyone in fashionable society. The three-storey boutique has quickly captured the stylish eye as one of the chicest spots in the city, especially since owner Tarini Jindal began to include edgy Indian fashion in its coterie. This weekend sees a glamorous trunk show by socialite jewelery designer Queenie Dhody, of her aesthetic label, Jewels by Queenie, along with designer Raakesh Agarvwal’s version of demi-couture: beautiful black numbers. The clothes are fabulously priced and incredibly sexy, well coordinated with Dhody’s precious stones.

Play Time
Charandas Chor, a signature play of Habib Tanvir’s Naya Theatre tells the story of Charandas, a loveable thief who takes four vows in jest. He vows never to eat off a golden plate, never to ride on an elephant at the head of a procession, never to marry a queen and never to accept the throne of a country. He becomes the region’s greatest thief and prankster, all the while refusing to lie even when it means peril to his own life.
