For abstract art lovers

Creative director and designer Kunel Gaur's latest body of work, Information Architecture™ is a collection of contemplative abstract sculptural works. He has used materials like wood, concrete, resin, metal, acrylic paint, screen printing techniques and glass among others. He often mixes his work with the written word, flirting with what could be called prose, poetry, or both.

Awantey writes about hotels, airlines and earning and burning miles in his blog Live from a Lounge and also conducts workshops, now online, called Mileage MasterClasses. Here, he introduces people to miles, points and loyalty programmes, teaching them how to use these programmes and credit cards to travel better. Each workshop is six-seven hours long. The personal consultations are more customised and intend to solve specific queries you may have.

RECOMMENDED BY: Jitu Hemlani, proprietor, says, "At Ajay's masterclass, I was introduced to hotel loyalty programmes. Armed with all the details, I switched my credit cards and got the ones where I had the choice of multiple partners that I could transfer my points to. I focused on one hotel chain to stay with whenever I had to travel for work or leisure. This elevated my status with a hotel chain within a year, and with my newly acquired status, we got upgraded rooms, lounge access and discounts on food and beverages."
