This Week, TheGlitz, curated by Sumita Chakraborty, is in full sparkle mode… the kind of mood where new restaurant launches feel like red-carpet premieres, cake-mixing bowls double as holiday confetti cannons, and every corner of life gets served with a little extra glamour.

Christmas is peeking around the corner, so the city is already clinking glasses, whisking butter-sugar magic, and pretending diet season starts in January (it doesn’t, but let’s keep the fantasy alive).

So buckle up — this edition is a heady cocktail of taste, tunes, textures, trends, and everything fabulous. TheGlitz is here to keep your week stylish, spirited, and unapologetically fun. Shall we?
