Inches of a measuring tape and your energy levels speak louder than the number on a weighing scale.
Hear from our Cyborg, @jamalshaikh on how he improved his relationship with food. Being able to differentiate between eating to nourish your body and emotional eating is a superpower that’s natural to all Cyborgs! How cool is that? 🥵

My Diwali shone the brightest because of this no agenda-led, non-transactional little gesture: a hand written note I received from someone I worked with 20 years ago.
Wealth appears in many forms: gratefulness, respect, love is mine.
Thank you, Joshua Newtonn. Happy Diwali. 🪔

Dear Jamal,
It has been twenty years since we first met. I still remember Beth ( @elizabetheappen )bringing me to your little cabin at the Jhandewalan office. Your broad, bright smile and those sparkling eyes said a lot about the young man you were then, full of energy and enthusiasm for a new and important mission.
I remember the lunch you hosted for all of us at a French restaurant on my birthday, and the author-signed copy of Siddharth Shanghvi’s ( @thepostcarder ) book that you had got for me from Mumbai. He, I remember, was a friend of yours… and what you had written inside — “Joshua, you are godsent.”
I’ll remember your warmth, your remarkable intelligence and those curious eyes of yours, quick to spot a talent where others might see none. I am glad our paths crossed in this curious dream we call life. You held your hand out to me, made me feel seen and valued.
I wish you a wonderful new beginning, and a journey filled with good hearts, meaningful work and the freedom to follow what matters to you.
Yes, twenty years have passed! But some gestures remain fresh as a berry on the vine. Yours, especially.
With much love,
Josh

Snapshots from the Amanbagh Diwali weekend where diyas were aplenty, but smiles shone brighter and sparked conversations that made the quiet luxury weekend a memorable one indeed.

Don’t miss the fashion reprimand by my friend @luciole__m in the last slide accompanied by a series of photo references and styling tips.
A stunning start to Diwali 2026! You agree? 🪔

“Comfort is what stands out far more than anything that’s in trend.”
For @jamalshaikh, personal style has always been about knowing what works fit you, but dressing by the rules. A self-confessed fashion non-conformist, his usual uniform is a black t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans. Even for a formal occasion, he’d rather throw on a blazer over a T-shirt than reach for a button-down.
But even old habits can make room for something news. Take the red shacket he’s wearing here. After years of sticking to black, Shaikh has been experimenting with colour, and much to his own surprise, enjoying it,
The willingness to try something different extends beyond his wardrobe. Credited with launching Indian editions of iconic print magazines like Men’s Health, Robb Report, Esquire and The Hollywood Reporter, he has seen the lifestyle media industry evolve from print to digital. But he believes the changing landscape is an opportunity to reach people in new ways. For him, the best part of the job is the uncertainty: never quite knowing how a story, a shoot, a trip or even a meal will turn out.
Perhaps that’s the common thread between his approach to work and the way he dresses. Stay curious, try something news, but always make it your own.

“I don’t post to get likes. I post to start conversations.”
For @jamalshaikh, the way we tell stories may have changed, but the reason for telling them hasn’t. A veteran journalist and media entrepreneur, Jamal has spent his career shaping conversations across magazines, digital platforms and lifestyle media. And he sees the shift to digital not as a threat to journalism, but as an opportunity to reach more people. “If we’re getting more platforms, most of which are free of cost, we should be happy,” he says.
Whether it’s a 3,000-word story, an Instagram caption or a reel, the format can change. What matters is finding the audience and giving them something worth their time.
That same curiosity carries into his own life as a creator. From travel and food to the little things that make Mumbai what it is, he uses social media to share perspectives and, more importantly, hear different ones. As he puts it, getting a reaction that challenges his own point of view is what makes it worthwhile.
After all, as someone who has spent decades in media, Shaikh knows that a good story isn’t just about being heard. It’s about what happens when someone listens.

The rare occasion when the notoriously camera shy @freddy_birdy approves the posting of his picture.
At @gaggan_anand ‘s award-winning restaurant in Bangkok.

Clawsome, not crabby! 🦀
Made a fleeting stop at Bangkok’s much acclaimed Chinese restaurant, Purple Laurel, to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Crab Feast. Was served up 11 courses with dishes made using crab meat, but still found a way to have my favourite at this restaurant: Chef Yu Bin’s Crispy Roasted Squab (pigeon), that you will see in Slide 11.
It was also the most photographed dish of the evening. 📸

Ugly new shoes (and a fit) that has taken me time to muster. Tell me it works. 🤞🏼

Pssst…. Watch with sound on to reveal a food influencer’s best-kept secret.
Is it fish? Or is it crab? This dish at the award-winning @purplelaurel.bkk is as deceptive (also delicious) as my friend Beer’s nails. 💅🏻 @eat.fine.dining

#Avgeek style arrival shots at one of the youngest countries in the world, formed only in 2002: Timor Leste, with a capital called Dili. (Hence, the airline called @aerodili )
Country No 86 for me! 🙌🏼
‘Coz there’s no greater joy in visiting a place before every city in our increasingly “small world” becomes a cookie cutter version of the other.

Happy to be part of a jury that celebrates good food. 🤌🏼
Being a media person, the CNT Top 50 Restaurants awards was the first “rival group” event that I attended without being thought of as a spy. It was 2016, and CNT Traveller was then led by @diviathani (still is, in a bigger way), and the evening at the Lodhi New Delhi turned out to be a celebration of the hospitality industry at large. 🎉
Over 10 years later, I’m happy to be a voter as the party continues. Thank you for having me @sa1i1
Can’t wait for the big reveal on October 5! 🙌🏼
