New Delhi [India], January 24: Jaun Elia did not arrive in India quietly. He arrived amplified. Through a microphone that was not his. For most Indian readers under thirty-five, Jaun Elia did not come from libraries, serious Urdu study, or the long lineage of Progressive Writers. He came through Kumar Vishwas. That is not an […]

For years, homes were treated like showroom checklists. Neutral sofa? Check. Minimal lighting? Check. A marble countertop nobody actually uses? Naturally. Somewhere along the way, living spaces became less about living and more about impressing people who don’t pay the EMIs. That era is quietly—and slightly smugly—ending. As 2026 settles in, interior design is undergoing […]

In ordinary, civilian life, society has made a fairly clear judgment without ever holding a formal meeting about it. Guns are treated as dangerous, uncomfortable, and in need of constant control. Bows, arrows, and swords, meanwhile, live comfortably in museums, sports, hobbies, stories, and backyard conversations about “cool historical stuff.” This isn’t because people are […]

Menswear didn’t collapse in 2026. It simply stopped asking for permission. Somewhere between oversized knits, thrifted denim, pearl necklaces worn without irony, and shoes that look like they were chosen for comfort rather than approval, Gen Z men have decided something radical: fashion is not a rulebook, it’s a language. And languages evolve when people […]

New Delhi [India], January 24: Mirza Ghalib is treated like a relic. Framed. Sanitised. Quoted on calendars and WhatsApp forwards as if he were some polite uncle who happened to rhyme well. That version is convenient. It’s also false. The real Ghalib was argumentative, broke, vain, deeply insecure, intellectually arrogant, emotionally reckless, and almost permanently […]

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 24: Once upon a time, the Indian holiday calendar revolved around one sacred event: the big annual trip. Planned months in advance, debated endlessly in family WhatsApp groups, negotiated around school schedules, office leaves, budget spreadsheets, and emotional blackmail. It was less a vacation and more a logistical operation. By 2026, […]

London [United Kingdom], January 24:  People keep asking for comparisons because they want closure. A clean answer. Something they can screenshot and feel done with. International travel doesn’t work like that, and neither do credit cards once you leave your home currency and whatever consumer-protection fantasy you’re used to. So yes, this is listical. But […]

New Delhi [India], January 24: The Braj 40-day Holi celebrations are back, louder and longer than anywhere else on the planet. This is not a festival sprint. It’s a cultural marathon, and Braj runs it with swagger. Holi, But Make It Forty Days Even in most parts of India, Holi comes, bursts into colour, and […]

Emraan Hashmi, Zoya Afroz, Amruta Khanvilkar and Nandish Singh Sandhu join the celebrations and fly a special Taskaree kite at Sabarmati Riverfront Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], January 24: Netflix’s upcoming customs entertainer Taskaree: The Smuggler’s Web found a vibrant on-ground moment at International Kite Festival 2026 in Ahmedabad, as the cast became part of one of […]

New Delhi [India], January 23: You look at the price first because that’s unavoidable. The RC 160 sits lower on the invoice if you stick to 160s, the R15 V4 (often called V5) creeps up a bit, and the Karizma XMR 210 lands noticeably higher once you spec it in the real world. On paper […]
