A Fruity Affair

The Hindu:

I know I’m in good hands. Those hands are softly ministering to my face, tip-tapping their way across the landscape of my cheeks, softly stroking my brow, leaving no part of my city-battered visage alone. My face flowers under this attention but there’s something else that adds to the delight of the experience: the fragrance of flowers, fruit and cream. I’m in good hands. The hands belong to Kulu Phokela, the owner of the Shahnaz Husain Herbal Parlour down Ali Askar Road, off Cunningham Road. And Kulu has only recently received official acknowledgement for those magical hands of hers: she has been awarded the Best Shahnaz Husain Herbal Franchisee award for south India.

I’m undergoing the fruit and flower facial at Kulu’s parlour. I’ve seen the faces of a brace of friends who have emerged from her parlour after a fruit and flower facial and nothing is going to sway me from that. Especially given that the fruits involved are a combine of apple, melon, banana, orange, papaya, with honey as the base. Read full story.
