It’s racing to a hattrick. The interest and response it generated last two summer seems all set to continue this year too. Yes, our show is back …and with a bang! Did we not promise to grow bigger and better and guarantee a top class fair with an enviable ensemble of best high end products and plenty of surprises too?

Well, it’s all going to happen in exactly five days time, a lifestyle extravaganza, the biggest one yet in Temple Town. If you are a true-blue shopping buff, then you cannot avoid the Tamukkam Grounds from July 10 to 14 because The Hindu-Metroplus Lifestyle show is unfolding its third successive edition.

The stage is set, the spotlights are on and all participants of the year’s happening lifestyle event are peaking in enthusiasm to give Maduraiites a bang for their buck. Installation of 140 stalls spread over 3,600 square metres is going on at a feverish pitch at the venue. The show, we yet again promise — will redesign every shoppers’ aspirations.

Get a first hand feel of what happens when glitz and glamour encounter utility. You will fall in love with the trendy and functional products that will simply not let you sacrifice the small pleasures of life.

By virtue of being an annual trade fair event, some things are going to be common and some new. We have heard that grouse from some quarters. But it is our aim to continue to provide you with the best, latest and the top brands in case you missed them on previous occasions or you want to buy more this year.

The automobile section will showcase several small to mid segment cars. Kids and women in particular have something to cheer about this year. While children can have a ball of a time at two stalls set up by Kids World, their moms can sit back and rest those tired feet while getting complimentary makeovers, consultations on their skin, new hair styles and other beauty tips at the stall set up by the local beauty parlour — Vinita’s Saloon — this year. Not a bad deal!

The launch party — a fashion show to kickstart the annual shopping bonanza — got over yesterday (Friday) night with the city’s glitterati rocking to the rhythm and pulse of a colourful and vibrant programme.
