New Delhi [India], January 27: Following the success of his Hindi book Autism se Azadi (ऑटिज़्म से आज़ादी), which became a No. 1 bestseller on Amazon, Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury launched its English edition titled Cure Autism Now (C.A.N.) on the occasion of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Jayanti, January 23, in New Delhi. The book launch ceremony was graced by Shri Sanjay Mayukh, MLC, Bihar, along with other distinguished guests. Addressing the gathering, Dr. Biswaroop stated that in present-day India, one out of every 100 children is affected by autism, whereas 30–40 years ago such cases were rarely reported. He…

New Delhi [India], January 26: Tea is still a booming business in India because it never needed permission to exist. That’s the part most entrepreneurs miss. Tea doesn’t care about branding decks, pitch days, or lifestyle adjectives. It’s there at 6 a.m. in chipped cups, at railway platforms smelling like burnt milk, in offices where nothing else works but deadlines and caffeine. It’s infrastructure. People confuse that with opportunity and then wonder why they get chewed up. India didn’t “discover” tea as a market. It inherited it, absorbed it, ritualised it. Tea isn’t consumed here; it’s leaned on. Emotionally. Economically.…

London [United Kingdom], January 24:  Emily Dickinson still feels modern because she never tried to be legible. That’s the part people keep circling without saying out loud. She didn’t smooth the edges. She didn’t explain herself. She didn’t care if you “got it,” and she definitely didn’t care if you liked her. “Tell all the truth but tell it slant—” wasn’t a clever line. It was an operating principle. That alone puts her closer to the present than most writers embalmed by syllabi. She wrote like someone who understood the mind is not a neat place. Thoughts interrupt each other.…

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 insult. That is a logistical fact. Cultural transmission rarely cares about purity. Vishwas didn’t reinterpret Jaun. He recited him. He named him. He repeated him on stages that reached places where Urdu poetry had not travelled in decades. Small towns. College auditoriums. Televised mushairas. You…

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 a philosophical pivot. Homes are no longer designed to look expensive; they’re designed to feel intentional. Personalised layouts, tactile materials, local craftsmanship, and story-driven décor are replacing cookie-cutter “luxury.” The modern home is becoming an experience, not a catalogue spread—and yes, it has opinions. This…

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 inconsistent. It’s because these tools interact very differently with normal life. Bows and swords existed alongside daily routines. People farmed, traded, raised families, and argued with their neighbors while these weapons were present. Most of the time, nothing happened. That mattered. Their presence didn’t turn…

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 start speaking honestly. This shift didn’t announce itself with a manifesto or a runway rebellion. It arrived subtly — in metro stations, cafés, college campuses, startup offices, music gigs, and Instagram feeds that look less curated and more confessional. The result? A generation of men…
