Lifestylelifestyle

New Delhi [India], July 17: These days, it seems like everyone’s either got their eyes stuck to a screen or is lost in their own pace. Neighbors who’ve lived on the same street for ages might not know each other at all—just a quick nod in passing, if that. But now, something’s shifting. More community-run events are cropping up, and they’re giving people chances to actually meet up, talk, and feel like they belong. Things like neighborhood festivals, street markets, cleanups, pick-up soccer matches, book clubs, cultural nights—you name it. These local gatherings are pulling folks out of their homes…

BusinessBusiness

New Delhi: With more competitive offers to domestic and international investors, Indian states have shifted their focus from incentives to the other factors like the policy stability, ease of doing business and infrastructure.

The Odyssey Is Pulling Audiences Back to Theatres

Entertainmententertainment

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 17: Streaming promised convenience. Cinema promised spectacle. For a while, convenience was winning rather comfortably. After all, why leave your couch when every blockbuster eventually arrives at your television with a pause button and unlimited snacks? Yet every so often, Hollywood reminds audiences that some stories are simply too large for living-room walls. Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey appears determined to make that argument in the loudest possible way. The mythological epic has stormed into cinemas with projections exceeding $200 million worldwide during its opening weekend, turning what could have been another successful release into something far…

BTS Reunion Turns The 2026 World Cup Final Into A Global Entertainment Spectacle Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 17: For decades, the FIFA World Cup Final has been football’s most sacred appointment. Ninety minutes, perhaps a little more, to decide a champion. The interval? Traditionally reserved for tactical lectures, nervous pacing, and enough sports drinks to hydrate a small nation. Apparently, that wasn’t cinematic enough. FIFA has officially confirmed that the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final will feature the tournament’s first-ever Halftime Show, transforming football’s biggest night into something that borrows as much from global entertainment as it does from sport.…

Why RBI Is Planning Plastic Banknotes in India

BusinessBusiness

New Delhi: While the traditional cash-based payment system may not be the preferred option for most people in India these days, it remains an important part of the Indian economy. Despite the significant growth in UPI transactions, reaching 18.39 billion with a total value of ₹24.04 lakh crore in June 2026, according to the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), physical currency is still an essential component of economic activity for millions of Indians, especially those in the countryside, small businesses and the informal sector. That’s a lot of money to handle all at once but it does cost. The…

Disney Bets On Nostalgia With Mickey Mouse Club Revival

Entertainmententertainment

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 17: There are reboots, there are remakes, and then there are entertainment institutions that refuse to retire quietly.

NVIDIA’s AI Crown Faces Challengers, Not A Collapse

Technologytechnology

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 17: Not long ago, owning Nvidia’s latest AI chips was almost a prerequisite for joining the artificial intelligence race. Today, the queue outside that exclusive club hasn’t disappeared; it has simply become more complicated. The same technology giants that once relied almost entirely on Nvidia are now designing processors of their own. It’s less a rebellion than an evolution. After all, even the best landlord eventually discovers that some tenants would rather build their own homes. Yet, despite the growing list of custom silicon projects emerging from Meta, Google, Amazon, and several AI laboratories, Nvidia’s position…

AI’s Biggest Battle Is No Longer the Model—It’s the Machine

Technologytechnology

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 17: For years, the artificial intelligence race looked deceptively simple. Build a smarter model, release it, celebrate the benchmarks, and wait for the next headline. That script is quietly being rewritten. Today, the fiercest competition isn’t unfolding inside chatbots or image generators; it’s happening inside warehouses filled with servers, custom chips, and enough networking cables to make the internet blush. The industry’s latest phase has less to do with who has the cleverest algorithm and far more to do with who owns the infrastructure capable of running it. In many ways, AI has entered an era…
