Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 17: Read a few writings of Kafka and you will notice something under your shoes; and this ground that you are standing upon, it would seem to collapse into an abyss of absurdist thoughts, thoughts that seek purpose, thoughts that would make you crawl under the bed and force you to die, a strange sense of metamorphosis, the one that woke Buddha up into a night and convinced him to leave his home and wife and children behind. When you discover something different from the sense of reality of other people; you are most prone to…

Don’t expect flashy colours or big eyes. Gegeneophis valmiki is a blind caecilian, a rare amphibian that spends nearly its entire life underground. Its eyes are buried beneath bone. Its appearance? Earthworm-like. Its behaviour? Mostly subterranean. “This group of animals is incredibly difficult to study,” says K. P. Dinesh of the Zoological Survey of India. “They look so much like earthworms that even trained eyes might miss them.” Despite being hidden, Gegeneophis valmiki plays a vital role in ecosystem balance. It aerates soil, recycles nutrients, and maintains forest floors, quietly supporting life while larger creatures take the spotlight. Gegeneophis valmiki…

New Delhi [India], January 17: In a traditional Indian homes bathing was more than cleansing because they were based on nature and nurturing. Boiled neem water to cleanse the skin, freshly made ubtan to exfoliate and brighten, cooling herbs to cool in the heat, floral waters to calm and refresh, it was all purposeful and all related to seasons and skin requirements. These were not luxuries; they were family traditions. However, modern metro lives, with their rush, lack of space, time constraints, and more, have rendered traditional rituals hard to sustain. Spraying powders and drains, splattering pastes on tiles, and…

                         Prateek Singh, Co-Founder & CEO, Brevistay. New Delhi [India], January 16: The travel and hospitality industry is undergoing one of its most significant shifts in decades. While overnight hotel stays have long been the default, modern travel behaviour is increasingly shaped by flexibility, immediacy, and value. Today’s traveller, whether a corporate professional, digital nomad, or short-haul commuter, no longer wants to pay for unused hours. They want accommodation that adapts to their schedules, not the other way around. This evolving mindset is giving rise to hour-based stays, also known as microstays, an alternative hospitality…
