We're a small, but dedicated (okay, slightly obsessed) bunch of people who spend hours scouring and scrounging the internet for the good stuff.

At least once a week, we put together a curated list of five things we're loving that week—sometimes they're connected by a theme, sometimes they aren't. Some of these things are useful and practical, some are delightful and collectible.

The best ones are delightfully unnecessary.

Rs.699 / CHAMPACA 01 The Good Reporter 'The Good Reporter' is a collective biography of Khabar Lahariya that examines the raw grit, anger, and hidden personal costs of reporting from India's most volatile rural beats. Moving well beyond the outside-in gaze that frequently romanticizes their work as a simple victory over hardship, this collective memoir (written by co-founder Disha Mullick alongside nine of the journalists who helm the platform) shows what it truly means to navigate caste, class, and patriarchy on the ground. The narrative is raw and uninhibited, capturing the complex, flawed, and tenacious realities of women reporting from dusty crossroads without ever stripping away their humor or individual voices.

We love the artwork and the poetic text (Let's raise a storm he said. Put your ear to my heart she said.) and like everything from The Summer House, it's made in their own studio with a clear focus on responsible production. (Psst!

While Milimeter is ambiguous about what animal this is, we're choosing to believe this handcrafted geometric stoneware animal is humankind's best friend, and we'd definitely use it to store a single loose key, coins, small stationery like paper clips, or our favourite earrings. Milimeter was founded by Industrial Designer Amritanshu Prajwal, who has spent years thinking about furniture, objects, and the space between them. He believes one of the biggest issues in Indian design is that craft is seen merely as a decorative element—something that is measured on aesthetic parameters rather than being utility-driven or functional. He started Milimeter to work with clay artisans from his region, and hopes to build a practice that uses craft as method, not decoration. (Psst!

This one's for those whose world revolves around dogs! Hoomans make merch for fellow 'hoomans' who are wildly, unapologetically obsessed with their pets. Their tees, hoodies, caps and totes celebrate the beautiful chaos of pet parenthood and help dog and cat crazy folk find their people. Our favourite thing about them though has to be that a part of what they make goes toward supporting street dogs and animal welfare, 'cos in their own words, "Every dog deserves at least one 'hooman' rooting for them." Yes. (Psst! Shop Hoomans via Souk for 10% off!) Rs. 1,640 / HOOMANS Rs.599 / CHAMPACA 05 Uprooted In Uprooted: A Graphic Account of the Struggle for Forest Rights, comics maker and educator Ita Mehrotra uses an immersive mix of field notes, dialogue, and scribbled marginalia to document the lives of the Van Gujjar and Taungya communities in the Uttarakhand Terai, capturing how bureaucratic "development" models and modern conservation projects aggressively treat nomadic pastoralists as trespassers on the very soils they have nurtured for generations. It handles heavy historical and political realities with incredible intimacy—spanning everything from the long shadow of colonial British forest laws to the complex, red-tape maze of the Forest Rights Act of 2006. The focus is on ground-level voices, featuring moving testimonies from the community elders alongside the fierce defiance of the younger generation (such as Anita from the Taungya villages, who sharply reminds us that if people are oppressed for centuries, they will always find a way to fight back). Rather than forcing a tidy, triumphant climax, this book functions as an invaluable, radical visual archive of what it means to survive. (Psst! Shop Champaca via Souk for 10% off!)
