like Aliya, also moved base to Delhi from Mumbai

When it comes to fitness, it’s circuit training and
kick-boxing she swears by. “I’ve been working out for
over 10 years but in the last five years, I’ve really been
into being fit and strong and not going to the gym to
be skinny.”
Meher Varma, a brand consultant, swears
by the magic that her daily walks in the garden
lend to her mind and body. “The walks keep me
fit but most importantly, keep me grounded,”
she confesses.
Tina Talwar who runs her at-home make-up service
van that goes by the name Powder Room, says fitness
is all about keeping a balance. “The most important
aspect of fitness is to keep a positive mindset,” she
smiles. “I always start my day on a positive note and
with a morning routine hinged on me and my ‘son
time,’ which always sets the tone for the day,” she
adds.
