Editorial – February 2026

As February progresses, it marks the beginning of an active travel and planning season. With the upcoming Char Dham Yatra and suitable weather conditions for visiting destinations such as Kedarnath and Leh–Ladakh, many Parlekars are organising their high-altitude journeys. In this issue, we focus on the importance of structured preparation — both physical and mental — to ensure safe and well-planned travel experiences.

Health and well-being remain central to our lives. From expert skincare advice to seasonal wellness insights, our contributors guide readers towards balanced and informed lifestyle choices. Financial awareness is equally important, and this month’s finance feature offers a considered perspective on building long-term value through structured investment strategies.

We also highlight the dynamic progress within our community — from self-redevelopment initiatives shaping our neighbourhoods to the achievements of students and institutions in Vile Parle. Local businesses continue to evolve and expand, reflecting the entrepreneurial spirit of our area.

At TownParle.in, our aim remains to inform, connect, and empower the community. We hope this issue adds value to your planning, learning, and everyday life.

Warm regards,
Chanda Mantri
