January this year saw the launch of a new luxury river cruise service, one set to ferry high-end tourists to some of the most mystical destinations in India. Fittingly, Varanasi, where the cruise commences, is one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world and, perhaps, the most iconic and memorable location in the whole of India.
To the initiated, it is Kashi, the Luminous – the City of Light said to be founded by Shiva, one of the most significant of all the Hindu deities. Regardless of your religious affiliations, it is a truly magical place and one where, for thousands of years, pilgrims have come to wash away their sins in the River Ganges’ cleansing waters.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-70251" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/006_rgb-e1678416808798.jpg" alt="varanasi" width="768" height="576" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/006_rgb-e1678416808798.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/006_rgb-e1678416808798-200x150.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/006_rgb-e1678416808798-600x450.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" />
In all, around 85 ghats (riverfront steps) line the west bank of the Ganges as it passes through the city, making it a popular choice for both devout Hindus taking an early morning purifying dip and for washer folk to beat their clothes. Among the steps are burning ghats, holy sites where bodies are cremated in public, often watched at a respectful distance by boatloads of mourners. Beyond that, many ghats also have their own historical or ritual significance and lingam, a symbol of divine generative energy.
Overall, the best time to visit is dawn when the early morning sun rays light up the myriad temples and ghats while pilgrims perform puja (prayers). Alternatively, dusk offers an ideal opportunity to watch devotees at worship, with viewing these mesmerising daily rituals from a passing rowing boat one of the quintessential Varanasi experiences.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-70257" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/varanasi58_rgb-e1678416877361.jpg" alt="varanasi" width="768" height="576" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/varanasi58_rgb-e1678416877361.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/varanasi58_rgb-e1678416877361-200x150.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/varanasi58_rgb-e1678416877361-600x450.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" />
The city itself has more than 700 temples and is a maze of alleyways, with many day tours available for those who want to take in many of the special sites the city has to offer as possible. Particularly popular are the confined alleyways of The Old City, the most famous attraction being the Vishwanath Temple, the main Shiva sanctuary that features 800g of gold plating on the tower and dome. Non-Hindus can climb surrounding buildings to see the gilded dome. Another busy temple is in the south of the city &#8211; the monkey temple – and is home to hordes of red macaques and is dedicated to Durga, an exceptionally fierce goddess.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-70252" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/007_rgb-e1678416920309.jpg" alt="varanasi" width="750" height="750" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/007_rgb-e1678416920309.jpg 750w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/007_rgb-e1678416920309-200x200.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/007_rgb-e1678416920309-100x100.jpg 100w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/007_rgb-e1678416920309-600x600.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Varanasi also boasts excellent dining opportunities, including some of the best Indian food around and a wide variety of European dishes. Of particular note is the Darbhanga restaurant, which is set just inside the Brijrama Palace Hotel, a structure with striking architecture along the banks of Darbhanga Ghat. Its most popular dishes include palak chaman (paneer in spinach and spices) and allot chaat (fried pieces of parboiled potato mixed with chickpeas and chopped onions, and garnished with spices and chutney).
For a more informal snack, tucked away in a narrow side alley in the Old City is Blue Lassi, a famous hole-in-the-wall yoghurt shop that has been churning out every kind of gorgeous fruit-filled lassi since 1925. The dairy-intolerant, meanwhile, may prefer the nearby Brown Bread Bakery and its singularly fabulous menu.

If you’re more fashion-minded than food focussed, you may also want to prioritise a visit to the Mehrotra silk factory. It can be found nestling in the labyrinth of lanes behind Lal Ghat and has built up a fine reputation for selling quality silk at reasonable prices.
As is the case on any visit to India, visitors are reminded to be wary of unscrupulous rickshaw drivers who will ferry you off to some inauthentic lookalike place (where they get a cut of everything you spend) rather than your preferred destination. Be insistent and you should be okay.
These considerations aside, no one who has been to Varanasi ever forgets the sheer spectacle of this stunning site’s worship and devotion to the Hindu gods. For those left wanting more of India after such a magnificent introduction – and, really, who wouldn’t &#8211; this could just be the first stopping-off point on a luxury cruise, one where far more wonders may well be yours to explore.

India of Imagination: The most mesmerizing place in the subcontinent is Varanasi

The Single Malt Scotch Whisky Brand Mortlach has put forth a multi-sensory experience titled “The Midnight Secrets” at K11 Musea from now until 14th March.

The first stop to “The Midnight Secrets” is located in Gold Ball, 2/F of K11 Musea. With the name Layer upon Layer, this piece of digital art is created by K11 Art Foundation artist, Jiayu Liu. Each pixel and particle from the sand bed to the waves is derived from real-time environmental data and geographic coordinates of the banks of the River Spey in Speyside, Scotland, to transport discoverers to the turbulent waves that hold the magic and mysteries of Mortlach, divulging the intricate details of the 2.81 distillation process created by the first legal distillery in the town of Dufftown. Viewers will be introduced to the brand’s history and its unique distillation method named “The Way”. They will also be invited to reveal their midnight inner beast amid the River Spey with the AR Instagram Filter at the entrance of Gold Ball.

Next is the Mortlach Pop–Up Bar located on the fifth floor which is designed to prime taste buds for the darkest hours of the night. Each discerning discoverer will receive a dram of the 12-year-old Mortlach Single Malt whisky for tasting, unleashing its beastly and bold flavour upon the first sip.&nbsp;
For the final stop, Mortlach has partnered with Artisan Lounge with an exclusive Mortlach 2.81 Cocktail Pairing Menu. Discoverers will be invited to try 2.81 pieces of savoury or sweet canapés, harmoniously paired with a Mortlach cocktail inspired by the dead of the night (valued at HKD268/person or redeemable with the purchase of any single bottle of Mortlach at the Liquid Gold on 5/F of K11 Musea).&nbsp;

What’s the inspiration behind Noblesse Lifestyle Group? 
I started this business 10 years ago. I was a barrister at the time. So basically I followed in my parent’s footsteps and decided to go into law. But then after I practised for around three to four years I decided that law wasn’t my thing. I’m a bit of an introvert and to be honest I was very stressed out on a daily basis. It wasn’t something I wanted to commit my whole life to so I decided to start my own business instead.
At the time, I was travelling in the UK and I came across a bed store called Viceroy. I thought it was an amazing brand with a long heritage, everything was handmade, natural materials. So I decided to try it out for myself and I fell in love with the product and thought that maybe this was something I could bring to Hong Kong – not only to start a business but to share something I’m deeply fond of.
The idea behind Noblesse is a one-stop shop to provide premium, lifestyle services. We don’t just focus on beds and bedding but also on a range of lifestyle products that focus on wellbeing and sustainability.

It’s quite a leap from barrister to entrepreneur. Was it an easy transition? 
It was actually very difficult. Being a barrister is very challenging. You have to be very sharp, very on point. You need a lot of time for preparation. But starting a business is challenging as well – but on a very different level. You have to come up with a concept and then realise that concept – taking it from on paper to an actual business.
In the beginning I had to pitch my ideas to the brands and then persuade them to let me be their authorised dealer. Then come up with a business model, a business plan and then hire a team, train the team – none of that was easy. Of course our type of products were rare in the market 10 years ago – a natural, luxury bed product. It took some time for people to fully accept and realise the value of our products. Helping them to improve their sleep but also being conscious of the environment. 
We have around 40 staff across all the different businesses. Human Resources is one of the most challenging aspects of the business. But I am very grateful over the years to have gathered a very good team. The key to every business is having a good team to run it.

When do you get your best ideas? 
Travelling. Most of my business ideas come while I’m travelling, if not all actually. For example, the concept for Attire House came while I was travelling through Italy, France, Japan and Korea. Because when you stay too long in one place your mindset gets stuck.
In 2016, you established Attire House. Can you elaborate a little on the concept? 
It arose out of my passion for classic menswear – and the whole gentlemanly lifestyle. I wanted to do something a bit different. Not just start a store, but an iconic concept that is all inclusive. So, it includes a cocktail bar, a cigar lounge, a barber shop and a bespoke menswear shop all under the same roof. That was the original idea.
The business has gone through a lot of changes over the years. This concept was the first of its kind in Hong Kong, I would say. It’s not easy running a concept of all different operations in one place. First of all you need a large space, with a large rent. Then, you have different teams with different hours. So, over the years we decided to spin off into different concepts. So the bar has its own separate identity, Bar Deluxe. It’s a direct collaboration with a bar from Tokyo, run by this legendary bartender in Japan. We’ve been running it for five years now and it is becoming a popular spot to go to.
The barber shop has merged with the cigar lounge, which is called Bertie’s Cigars. We started it around four years ago. It’s actually named after the son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, King Edward VII, nicknamed Bertie. He was a bit of a rakish prince back in the day and he liked smoking cigars and horse racing. So, the club is cheekily named after him.

</blockquote>
How do you fit family life – and raising three boys – into your busy schedule? 
It’s crazy! That’s the straightforward answer. But to be honest, I think the pandemic helped a bit because it gave people the chance to spend more time at home, for which I am quite grateful. I got to know my sons a bit more, especially my young son, because he just turned three. The pandemic has been a huge disruption, but it also means I spend more time with my children. And the bond has definitely deepened over the past two years.

</blockquote>
In 2021, you branched out again with Beyond Sleep. How does it tie in with sustainability and wellness? 
This is our tenth year, so we decided to come up with a new concept – Beyond Sleep. Our angle has always been on the history, the luxury and craftsmanship but it’s also important that they are all natural products. So, not only good for health but also good for the environment. There has always been a sustainability angle that we haven’t pushed enough. Sleep is very important. Something that people sometimes overlook. But part of that are the concepts of sustainability and wellness. This is what we want to focus on with our new branding.
For the front of the shop we have done something different, to make it look like a sleep museum. So you see a wall with all the natural materials that are used with our products. Where the products are from and how they are processed can be fully explained. There is full transparency with our products that we can share with our customers. People want to know what they’re buying. We also have a sleep pod. It looks like a spaceship. Within that sleep pod, not only can you experience our bed, it’s also fully integrated with smart-code technology – so you can voice control the temperature, the lighting, the air purifier, the music and the mood.
Then we have the pillow bar, kind of inspired by my own cocktail bar, with more than 30 different pillows. Mostly from Switzerland and Austria, all made with natural materials. Different people, with different sleeping habits, require different pillows.

What was the last cigar you smoked? 
Cigars are my vice. One of my less healthy habits. The last cigar I smoked is a small brand called Juan Lopez. It’s a double robusto, which is quite a fat cigar.
You also practice martial arts. What is your secret to being a good martial artist? 
I’ve been interested in martial arts for a very long time. My parents sent me to learn kung fu because they were worried I might get bullied. I became fascinated with Bruce Lee. I watched his movies and I became blown away. He’s still my idol. Now I practice Wing Chun. A traditional martial art popularised by Ip Man and also learned by Bruce Lee. Martial arts helps me to focus. It’s like a moving meditation. It helps you to reset. It’s something you need to do on a regular basis and practice and practice and practice. You need perseverance.
Thank you.

True originals. The maison’s Relief Petite Heure Minute Tiger wristwatch is a case in point.

Sticking with the theme of artistic horological creations with unique dials is this sublime offering from Franck Muller, in collaboration with acclaimed artist, Hom Nguyen. The two have joined forces to produce this exceptional timepiece: the Cintrée Curvex Double Mystery with Tourbillon. Nguyen is a French painter of Vietnamese origin who is famed for creating portraits in a figurative style – clearly depicted in the watchface.
In place of hands, time is shown by rotating discs with the brand’s trademark double mystery complication. Completly hand-drawn and assembled in the purest watchmaking tradition, this timepiece is equipped with a manual winding mechanical movement and boasts a power reserve of 60 hours.

Also from Frank Muller and distinctly more ladylike – but still retaining a certain degree of quirkiness – is the Vangaurd Lady Heart.
