The most expensive holiday you will take this summer is the one you did not choose. You chose the WhatsApp group. You chose the Instagram grid. You chose the seating plan at last Saturday’s dinner where someone said “we’re doing the Maldives again” and everyone nodded. That is not a holiday. That is a subscription. […]

In a Bandra apartment in the third week of May, a woman named Rekha Desai is doing what her mother did and her mother’s mother did before that: she is sorting Alphonso mangoes by smell. Not by colour, not by size — by the faint perfume at the stem end that tells her which ones […]

The most interesting argument in luxury hospitality right now isn’t about amenity or access. It’s about atmosphere as architecture — the idea that a room’s highest function isn’t shelter or status but the production of a specific emotional state. Three suites that reward a summer visit make this argument with unusual clarity. Each uses radically […]

My father has not taken a vacation since 1996, and that one was an accident. A cancelled flight in Mauritius turned a business trip into three days at a beach resort, which he spent making international calls from the lobby and complaining about the humidity. He came back with no photographs and a restructured distribution […]

There is a smell that has no English word. It lives in Hindi as something closer to memory than language — the scent of dry earth so thirsty it has begun to forget what water was. In late May, all of India carries this smell. It rises from cracked courtyards and railway platforms, from the […]

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 16, 2026 is:
gamut \GAM-ut\ noun
A gamut is a range or series of related things. When we say that something “runs the gamut,” we are saying that it encompasses an entire range of related things.
// The flea market offerings run the gamut with a wide array of vendors each offering something unique.
“... she brings a certain je ne sais quoi to the production with themes running the gamut from circuses and rodeos to mermaids and pirates.” — Heather Douglas, Coast Weekend (Astoria, Oregon), 23 Apr. 2026
Did you know?
With the song “Do-Re-Mi,” the 1965 musical film The Sound of Music (adapted from the 1958 stage musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein) introduced millions of non-musicians to solfège, the singing of the sol-fa syllables—do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti—to teach the tones of a musical scale. Centuries earlier, however, the do in “Do-Re-Mi” was known as ut. Indeed, the first note on the scale of Guido d’Arezzo, an 11th century musician and monk who had his own way of applying syllables to musical tones, was ut. d’Arezzo also called the first line of his bass staff gamma, which meant that gamma-ut was the term for a note written on the first staff line. In time, gamma-ut underwent a shortening to gamut, and later its meaning expanded first to cover all the notes of d’Arezzo’s scale, then to cover all the notes in the range of an instrument, and, eventually, to cover an entire range of any sort.
