Body Temple.... Timelessness

Timelessness on the time line.... We constantly keep hearing a phrase that our body is our temple where the soul or the God light resides, how much do we take care of this temple so that on time line of age we follow a therapeutic path. Detox nowadays is one word heard about a lot correlated with diet.... But the biggest question is that do we know that our skin is the largest organ of our body which protects all the vital organs, be it heart, lungs kidney or liver. Skin plays multiple roles of all above organs releasing excess water, urea, maintaining body temperature, oil balance, absorbing Vitamin D and many more. The quality of our skin defines our health.


Of late India is witnessing a sea change in terms of the supply of Spas and spa culture evolving. This is actually an age old therapy carried forward from our ancestors who knew better how to take care of themselves and used to spend lot of time with their body, mind and soul. Be it meditation or body massages... Turkey is known for its hamams, Kerala famous for therapies.. The list is endless, massage is a forgotten art and science which is regaining its benefits in a more commercialised way in the modern age. It works on all our systems, circulation, excretion, lipid, nervous and muscular... So probably now it makes more sense to think of massage more as a therapy than a beauty treatment.


While on my trip to Mumbai, being inclined on this method of rejuvenation, I was out for a spa hunt.. It's also very essential to make a right choice when there is oversupply of such places...right choice in terms of the quality of therapists and overall SAFE zone.. So, I landed into hotel Grand Sarovar Premiere in Goregaon west, luckily I was residing nearby which is another luxury in a city like Mumbai.


Tattva, a recently inaugurated Spa looked like it was there waiting for me.. Well Trained therapists, excellent interiors, well managed and coordinated is the place. As the name goes, our Body Temple is made of five tatvas or elements, hence the rooms too have been designed on the same lines each designated a name of the Tatva in our body..




Anisha, the Spa manager ensures the comfort of the guests. It's extremely essential to make a right choice as the massage not only works on various sciences, combining acupressure, muscle stretches and oil massage which not only releases toxins but muscle tension, nervous system and mental relaxation.


Swedish massage which I had opted for begins with a proper ritual. One is offered a Kokum drink, a coolant, followed by a a fifteen minute steam which opens the pores of the entire skin and releases uric acid in form of sweat, the pores opened are also ready to absorb oil into your system followed by a foot soak, sixty minute massage, a shower and another refreshing drink.


Four stars to this indulgence.. No no i would rather call it an essence... An investment on your body to later not spend that amount on medicines and towards Timelessness on the timelines.

Upcycle Concrete

  Upcycle is an interesting "GREEN" practice nowadays followed by many!! For goods and commodities its good, but in the era of shifting sands, preferences, fast evolutionary changes, the need and demand for more excitement the malls, unlike old markets, have a very short life span. A decade is quite long, then they slowly organically fade out. Ahmedabad, unlike the metros is quick silver. The life span of malls is shorter than those in metros.. few which have swept off infront of our eyes in two decades are; Gulmohar, Fun Republic, Gallops etc. Gallops though with best brands, infrastructure couldn't survive the cost concious market. Two days ago I happened to step into Iscon mega Mall, Mega like the word suggests, its gigantic. Reliance hyper market was inaugurated on 15th August 2006 by Sh Mukesh Ambani, it was his big bang entry into retail segment. In this mega structure, today hardly 10% area is functional, rest is all unused.  If Westside and Reliance are functional...

India is a land of Gold mine for Archeologists and architects.. any region we travel, there are ballads and narratives found in every corner of the country. After various emperors who travelled and did their territory demarcation.. today the politically divided States as per the Sovereign Social Republic clearly reflect the culture and Unity in Diversity in various aspects, be it culture, space, region, food or architecture.
