Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], June 24: The iconic Casa Broadway in Kolkata set the stage for an inspiring and intellectually stimulating literary evening as author Aritra Sarkar unveiled his latest book, “Are You Lonesome?”. The event witnessed an enthusiastic gathering of readers, writers, and thinkers, all drawn together by a shared curiosity to explore themes of human connection, love, solitude, and the deeper nuances of loneliness.

Published by Penguin Random House, “Are You Lonesome?” is not merely a self-help book but a deeply reflective and layered narrative that transcends conventional genre boundaries. Through a compelling blend of storytelling and introspection, Aritra Sarkar delves into the complexities of modern-day loneliness. Rooted in personal insights and keen observations, the book thoughtfully explores what it means to feel relevant, understood, and emotionally connected in an increasingly fragmented world.

The evening featured an engaging discussion moderated by Dr. Kunal Sarkar, who guided the conversation with clarity and depth. He was joined by an esteemed panel comprising Dr. Julie Banerjee Mehta, Dr. Souraja Tagore, and Dr. Jai Ranjan Ram. Each panelist brought a unique perspective to the discussion, enriching the dialogue with diverse interpretations of the book’s themes and its literary significance.

The panelists and moderator were unanimous in their appreciation of Aritra Sarkar’s work. They praised his ability to articulate the abstract and often misunderstood concept of loneliness with remarkable sensitivity and insight. The discussion emphasized that “Are You Lonesome?” stands apart from typical self-help literature, offering instead a meaningful and immersive exploration of the human condition.

The event was further elevated by the presence of distinguished guest Alokananda Roy, whose attendance underscored the cultural importance of the occasion. Her presence added a layer of prestige to an already significant literary gathering.

Organized by AHAVA Communications in collaboration with the AHAVA Readers’ and Writers’ Club, the evening reflected a shared commitment to nurturing literary culture and fostering meaningful conversations within the community. The seamless organization and thoughtful curation of the event contributed to its overall success.

Addressing the audience, Aritra Sarkar spoke passionately about his creative journey and the philosophical underpinnings of his work. “We are often drawn toward results or outcomes,” he remarked, “but what truly matters is the journey.” Expanding on the central theme of his book, he described loneliness as a powerful metaphor, explaining that it often arises not from solitude, but from a sense of disconnection even in the presence of others.

The audience remained actively engaged throughout the session, posing insightful questions and sharing personal reflections. The interactive nature of the discussion further highlighted the relevance of the book’s themes and the impact of Sarkar’s narrative.

The launch of “Are You Lonesome?” marks an important addition to contemporary literature, offering readers a thoughtful and empathetic exploration of emotional realities that are often left unspoken. With its rich storytelling and profound insights, the book promises to leave a lasting impression on its readers.

By Rima Bhandari, Energy Coach, Healer, Author & TEDx Speaker

New Delhi [India], June 22: Rima Bhandari believes that the world is facing a crisis that is rarely discussed in boardrooms, business meetings, or social gatherings.

It is not a financial crisis.

It is not a technology crisis.

It is an emotional crisis.

Today, people are achieving more than ever before. Careers are growing, businesses are expanding, and opportunities are endless. Yet behind the smiles, promotions, and accomplishments, countless individuals are silently carrying stress, emotional exhaustion, loneliness, and anxiety.

Many wake up feeling tired despite sleeping. Many feel disconnected despite being surrounded by people. Many have everything they once prayed for but still struggle to experience genuine happiness.

Rima Bhandari understands this reality deeply because she has witnessed it throughout her professional journey.

Long before becoming an Energy Coach and Healer, Rima worked as a physiotherapist. Her role was to help people recover from physical pain and regain mobility. Every day she met individuals who were determined to heal and move forward with their lives.

However, she noticed something that stayed with her.

Even after physical recovery, many people continued to carry invisible wounds. Their bodies became stronger, but fear, self-doubt, grief, emotional pain, and stress remained untouched.

This observation raised an important question in her mind: if the body can heal, why do so many people continue to suffer internally?

The answer would eventually change the direction of her life.

Rima’s own journey was not free from challenges. Like many people, she experienced periods of anxiety, emotional struggles, and inner conflict. Those difficult moments became her greatest teachers. Instead of ignoring her pain, she chose to understand it.

She began exploring emotional healing, energy work, self-awareness, and spiritual growth. What started as a personal search for answers gradually evolved into a life purpose.

Today, Rima Bhandari works with people from around the world, helping them understand that healing is not about fixing something that is broken. It is about reconnecting with the strength, wisdom, and peace that already exist within.

One of the biggest misconceptions in modern society is the belief that success automatically creates happiness.

For some time, achievement may bring excitement. A new job, a successful business, a bigger house, or financial growth can certainly feel rewarding. But external accomplishments alone cannot fill an internal void.

This is why so many high-performing individuals continue to struggle despite reaching goals that once seemed impossible.

The challenge is not that people are unsuccessful.

The challenge is that many have never been taught how to process emotions, release emotional baggage, or develop a healthy relationship with themselves.

In a world that encourages people to constantly do more, very few are encouraged to pause, reflect, and heal.

Rima often says that emotional well-being is becoming one of the most valuable investments a person can make.

Just as physical fitness requires attention and care, emotional health requires nurturing too.

When people carry years of unresolved hurt, disappointment, guilt, or fear, it eventually affects every area of life—relationships, decision-making, confidence, creativity, and overall well-being.

This message has become the foundation of Rima Bhandari’s work and the reason her teachings continue to resonate with audiences globally.

As an author, she has shared these insights through her books Finding Me: The Journey of Self-Love, Protect Your Energy, and The Star Tree’s Gift. Each book carries a simple but powerful message: true transformation begins from within.

As a TEDx Speaker, Rima Bhandari also spoke about the importance of self-love and healing in a world where people often seek validation from external sources. Her talk encouraged individuals to stop measuring their worth through achievements and start recognizing the value they already possess.

The need for emotional healing is no longer limited to personal development conversations. It has become a business conversation, a leadership conversation, and a societal conversation.

Organizations are beginning to understand that employees perform better when they feel supported emotionally. Leaders are realizing that resilience is just as important as intelligence. Families are recognizing that emotional health influences future generations.

The future will not belong only to those who are highly skilled.

It will belong to those who are emotionally aware, adaptable, and connected to themselves.

Rima Bhandari believes that the next evolution of success is not about working harder. It is about living with greater awareness, balance, and authenticity.

The world does not simply need more successful people.

It needs more healed people.

Because when healing begins within an individual, its impact extends far beyond one life. It touches families, workplaces, communities, and ultimately society itself.

Perhaps the greatest achievement of the future will not be measured by wealth or status, but by the ability to live with inner peace while creating meaningful impact in the world.

India” as a tribute to the Indian Women’s Cricket Team. The synchronized presentation created a memorable atmosphere and was officially recognized by the World Book of Records, UK.

On the occasion, Vasantha Kavitha, Vice President – Karnataka, World Book of Records, along with Apoorva Menon and Dr. Madhur Temle, Charter Officers of World Book of Records, presented the official World Record Certificate to The Life Eternal Trust and Sir M.

New Delhi [India], June 23: Mere Meherbaan, the new Hindi love song by singer Nidhi Sheth, is gaining attention among music lovers in India for its soulful melody, emotional storytelling and meaningful message of self-love.

Presented by Naman Sheth, Mere Meherbaan marks Nidhi Sheth’s first original music project. The song is deeply personal to the singer and reflects her inspiring journey of dreams, patience and self-belief.

Her journey behind Mere Meherbaan is a reminder that dreams may take time, but they can come true with hard work, faith, persistence, and determination.

The song beautifully captures the emotions of love, inner strength and resilience. More than just a romantic track, Mere Meherbaan carries a powerful message : be your own biggest supporter and never stop believing in yourself.

The white visual theme of the song adds a peaceful and graceful feel, symbolising calmness, purity and emotional strength.

“Mr. Sundeep Bhutoria, culturist, presenting a Suvaprasanna-painting of Kavi Guru Rabindranath Tagore to Gulzar during World Music Day 2026 in Kolkata.”

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], June 23: In a celebration that will be remembered as one of the most emotionally resonant musical evenings in Kolkata’s cultural history, the 16th edition of Sourendro-Soumyojit’s World Music Day Concert brought together an extraordinary constellation of artists on 21 June 2026 at Netaji Indoor Stadium. The sold-out event, curated by the celebrated pianist-vocalist duo Sourendro Mullick and Soumyojit Das, drew thousands of music lovers in a shared experience that transcended genres, generations, and geographies.

The evening’s theme — the spirit of independent music — found expression in an unparalleled lineup featuring Gulzar, Hariharan, Shankar Mahadevan, Shilpa Rao, Vishal Bhardwaj, Rekha Bhardwaj, Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, Anupam Roy, Kalpana Patowary, Parvathy Baul, Sid Sriram, Ayaan Ali Bangash, Nikhita Gandhi, and Benny Dayal. Each artiste presented an original composition, born from personal reflection and creative courage — pieces crafted exclusively for this one evening, never to be replicated in quite the same way again.

The concert was a living mosaic of India’s musical heritage. Folk musicians and classical maestros shared the stage with rappers and contemporary creators. The Patachitra artists of Pingla, the Thavil players of Kerala, and Bedabati from Manipur — voices from diverse traditions and geographies — wove together a tapestry that was wholly new, yet deeply rooted. The stage at Netaji Indoor Stadium became, in effect, a map of India’s vast cultural soul.

“World Music Day in Kolkata has always been a reflection of the city’s extraordinary relationship with music — and this year’s concert by Sourendro-Soumyojit was its most luminous chapter yet. To witness Gulzar’s words, Shankar Mahadevan’s voice, Vishal Bhardwaj’s artistry, and so many magnificent musicians come together on a single stage in the spirit of creative freedom was nothing short of transcendental. Kolkata has always known that music is not merely entertainment; it is the language of the soul. Last evening proved that this conviction is alive, thriving, and deeply cherished.” said Mr Sundeep Bhutoria, Culturist and Trustee of NGO, Prabha Khaitan Foundation.

“Gulzar sahab is not merely a legend to me — he is a cherished friend of over two decades. Our bond goes beyond admiration; it is one of deep personal affection and shared love for the arts. It was, therefore, a moment of profound joy and privilege for me to formally present him, on this celebratory occasion, with a painting of Kavi Guru Rabindranath Tagore — rendered by the eminent artist Suvaprasanna. Two luminaries of the human spirit, united in a single gesture. I could think of no more fitting tribute to Gulzar sahab than the image of Tagore, for both have given humanity the gift of words that heal, elevate, and endure.”  Mr Bhutoria said.

The curators and artistic directors of the concert, speaking after the event, reflected on its significance: “World Music Day 2026 was an exploration of the sound of India through collaboration, experimentation and original composition. Above all, it was a celebration of artistic freedom, creative courage and the power of independent music to connect people across cultures and communities. We are grateful to every artiste, every member of our team, and every music lover in that auditorium who made this evening unlike any we have ever created before,” said Sourendro-Soumyojit.

What began 16 years ago as a dream between two Kolkata-based musicians has grown into one of India’s most beloved annual musical traditions. Every edition has carried its own stories, its own friendships, its own once-in-a-lifetime collaborations. The 2026 edition, with its celebration of independent voices, added yet another indelible chapter to that legacy.

For those who could not be present, recordings and highlights from the concert will be shared on Sourendro-Soumyojit’s official channels shortly. The lights may have dimmed, the final note may have faded — but the music, the memories, and the connections forged on 21 June 2026 will endure.

So the retreats stretch across the whole arc. There's something for screen-saturated teenagers, for women riding the hormonal shifts of midlife, and for those moving into later years who want to stay strong, mobile and well. Each programme pulls together advanced diagnostics, nutrition, movement and therapeutic treatments, then weaves in Thailand's long-standing healing traditions, the aim being a plan that feels personal rather than packaged.

The timing isn't accidental. Travel is increasingly multi-generational and purpose-driven, with more women choosing to go together, mothers and daughters, sisters, old friends, in search of trips that mix learning, bonding and real rest. Layan LIFE leans into that. Guests stay and spend time together and share workshops, but each woman follows her own tailored path based on her age, needs and goals.

"At Layan LIFE, we recognise that a woman's wellbeing is never static," says Jennifer Sanvictores, General Manager. She points out that bodies, hormones and emotional lives all shift over time, and argues the retreats are built to meet each stage with care and scientific accuracy rather than a one-size-fits-all script.

At the centre sits Longevity for LIFE, a preventive and regenerative programme meant to extend healthy years rather than just treat symptoms. It folds in longevity diagnostics, Thai Traditional Medicine, functional nutrition, therapeutic movement, IV therapy and one-on-one coaching, all pointed at hormonal balance, restored vitality and sustainable long-term health.

Two specialty retreats branch off from there. The three-night Medically Guided Women's Longevity Retreat focuses on perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause, tackling hormonal stability, bone and muscle health, metabolic and cardiovascular resilience, and cognitive and emotional wellbeing. The three-night Holistic Women's Wellness Retreat, launched to mark Women's Wellness Month in March, leans more on Thai healing wisdom, mindful movement and restorative ritual, designed for women dealing with fatigue, stress, sleep trouble, or post-partum recovery, and for busy professionals badly in need of a reset.

That order is quietly flipping.

People are starting to read spaces by feel rather than by spec sheet. Why does one apartment feel open and easy to breathe in, while another of the exact same size feels closed off? Why does one home simply feel calmer to live in? Buyers may not use architectural language to describe it, but they sense the difference immediately.

A big reason is exposure. Through travel, social media, and a steady diet of global design content, people have seen what's possible when architecture, landscape, and planning are treated as one idea instead of three separate jobs. Once you've seen it, it's hard to unsee, and it starts shaping what you expect from your own home.

The data backs this up. The Colliers India Real Estate Outlook 2026 points to premiumisation as a structural force, with buyers actively chasing quality, design, and liveability. The Sotheby's International Realty 2026 Luxury Outlook found that 60% of its agents worldwide say lifestyle and wellness features now weigh more heavily in buying decisions. And Knight Frank India's Q1 2026 report notes that Kolkata is holding steady demand, a sign of buyers who are choosier, not nervous.

You can see this thinking in projects pitched at the top of the market, where design is the product rather than a coat of paint. Developments like DLF The Camellias in Gurgaon and Three Sixty West in Mumbai build everything around it. In Kolkata, Sugam Homes' Niavara takes a similar route, treating light, space, and movement as architectural decisions from day one, even within a crowded urban setting.

Sugam leans on global partners to get there. Niavara and Urban Lakes are developed with Barcelona's Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura (RBTA), known for spatial rhythm and large-scale planning. Sanon & Sen Associates consult on projects like Crown in Salt Lake, adapting that global intent to local realities, making it relevant for anyone hunting for a flat in Salt Lake Sector 5. For landscaping, Bangkok's P Landscape reimagines open areas as spaces people actually use, not leftover gaps between buildings.

That philosophy runs through Urban Lakes, where water, greenery, and structures are planned together, and through Niavara's three-sided openness.

The takeaway is simple. A home's value is no longer the sum of its features. It's how well every piece works together, and that shift is rewriting how India builds.

New Delhi [India], May 15: There is a particular kind of glamour that doesn’t announce itself. It lingers. It trails behind a silk saree as it leaves the room, settles into the collar of a tuxedo long after midnight, and stays on a wrist twelve hours after application. That kind of glamour, increasingly, is being bottled in India — not in alcohol-based sprays, but in concentrated, oil-based attars.

Heritage Delhi fragrance house Zam Zam Perfumers, in the craft since 1991, has unveiled Hayaam — a 20 ml unisex fragrance oil that arrives just as India’s most discerning beauty buyers are rediscovering the attar as the ultimate luxury indulgence.

The Scent of a Leading Lady

Hayaam opens with a soft fruity-floral flourish before settling into a warm bed of woody and amber undertones. The result is a fragrance that behaves cinematically — an entrance, a middle act, and a memorable closing sequence on the skin. Presented in a gold-accented bottle that earns its place on any vanity, it sits squarely in the beauty-luxury bracket, joining a wider renaissance moment for Indian attars among celebrities, stylists, and beauty editors who now admit their signature scent is an oil, not a spray.

Why Beauty Insiders Are Switching to Attars

Longevity that survives a long day on set. Concentrated oils sit on warm pulse points and develop slowly through the day — a backstage favourite for long shoots, weddings, and travel.

A scent that’s yours alone. Attars react with body chemistry rather than projecting in a uniform cloud, so two people wearing the same fragrance will never smell identical. For an industry obsessed with individuality, that’s the dream.

Skin-kind, alcohol-free formulation. Zam Zam’s entire catalogue is 100 per cent non-alcoholic and hygienically prepared — a quiet relief for sensitive skin and anyone who prefers their luxury without the burn.

The Elysian Effect

Hayaam arrives alongside Zam Zam’s flagship Elysian Collection — a premium luxury line that has quickly become the brand’s most talked-about edit. Each Elysian fragrance is named in Urdu or Arabic, and each name carries an emotion the perfumer has tried to translate into scent. Kalimat (‘words’) layers amber, rose, and oudh into the collection’s best-seller. Adab (‘grace’) weaves citrus and florals with a refined Arabic touch and a twelve-hour wear. Ehsas (‘a feeling’) is a clean white-floral that wears like fresh linen. Ilhaam (‘inspiration’) leans smoky and oudh-rich, made for after-parties. And Passion, an oriental floral, is built for moments that demand presence.

Together, Hayaam and Elysian signal a clear shift: India’s luxury fragrance conversation is no longer being led from Paris or Dubai alone. It is being written, increasingly, in Nizamuddin.

From Nizamuddin to Mumbai

Zam Zam Perfumers currently operates flagship stores in Hazrat Nizamuddin, Jama Masjid, and Jafrabad in Delhi, alongside retail in Jammu & Kashmir and a thriving online presence. The house is now preparing to open its first store in the Mumbai region — at Mumbra, Thane — marking its most significant retail expansion to date and bringing the full Elysian Collection within reach of the city that, more than any other, sets India’s beauty agenda.

The Trousseau, Reimagined

As wedding season builds, brides and grooms are reconsidering the trousseau. The imported eau de parfum is no longer the default; the heirloom-worthy attar, in gold-accented packaging, is back in conversation — prized for the way it lingers on a dupatta, layers under jewellery, and travels intimately on warm skin. Hayaam, with its unisex composition and gifting-ready presentation, is built for exactly this audience, with the Elysian Collection offering a tighter, ultra-premium edit for those building a fragrance wardrobe with serious intent.

There is something delightfully old-world about choosing a scent that develops on you over hours rather than arriving in a single spray. It is the same instinct that draws audiences back to slow cinema, hand-loomed textiles, and bespoke jewellery: the desire for craft that takes its time. On current evidence, India’s beauty-luxury consumer is ready for exactly that.

Hayaam (20 ml) and the Elysian Collection are available at Zam Zam Perfumers’ retail stores in Delhi and Jammu & Kashmir, online at zamzamperfumers.com, and shortly at the brand’s first Mumbai-region store at Mumbra, Thane.

The event, helmed by Rashid Shutari, will serve as the official launch platform for two new ventures — Kibo Music and Kibo Beauty Cosmetics. The summit brings together professionals and aspiring talents from modeling, makeup artistry, and fashion design under one roof.

Among the highlights of the day, the top three models selected at the summit will earn endorsement opportunities with Kibo Beauty Products. Meanwhile, the top three makeup artists will be invited to collaborate directly with Kibo Music, offering them a foothold in both the beauty and entertainment industries simultaneously.

Organizers say the event is conceived as a talent-discovery platform, giving emerging creatives a chance to gain visibility and connect with established names in fashion and beauty. Attendees can expect networking sessions alongside the main showcase, with opportunities to meet industry professionals face to face.

The summit is open to participants across creative disciplines, including fashion design and related fields. Registration details and the full event schedule are expected to be made available through the organizer's official channels ahead of the May 16 date.

The dual launch of Kibo Music and Kibo Beauty Cosmetics at a single event marks an unusual crossover between two typically separate industries, a move that organizers appear to be betting on as a defining feature of both brands.

This has sparked curiosity: Are Bollywood actors using hair patches?
 The answer is very likely, yes.

The Bollywood Reality: Image Matters

Hair loss is not uncommon—even among celebrities. Stress, styling damage, genetics, and age all contribute to thinning hair or baldness. However, in an industry where image directly impacts success, waiting months for treatments like hair transplants isn’t always practical.

That’s where human hair patches and non-surgical hair replacement systems come into play.

Unlike traditional methods, human hair patches offer:

• Instant transformation

• Zero downtime

• Natural-looking results

And most importantly, no one can tell the difference.

What Exactly Is a Human Hair Patch?

A human hair patch is a customized hair system made from natural or synthetic hair, designed to blend seamlessly with your existing hair. It is attached using advanced techniques like bonding or weaving, creating a completely natural look.

For actors, this is a game-changer:

• They can switch looks quickly for roles

• Maintain a youthful appearance

• Avoid long recovery periods

This is why many industry insiders believe that the sharp hairline seen in films like Dhurandhar is not just styling—it’s smart hair replacement.

Why Hair Patches Are Trending in India

The eyewear market has traditionally been split into two extremes—premium international labels that come with steep pricing, and budget options that often compromise on durability and design. This gap created an opportunity for brands that could deliver both style and substance without making it inaccessible. Hashtag Eyewear has successfully stepped into this space by focusing on thoughtful product development and consumer-centric offerings.

With a strong background in retail and years of experience understanding customer preferences, the brand has built its foundation on quality and consistency. This has enabled Hashtag Eyewear to design collections that cater to modern lifestyles—products that are not only visually appealing but also practical for everyday use. From contemporary frames to well-crafted Sunglasses for men & sunglasses for women, the focus remains on delivering a refined experience without unnecessary premium pricing.

A key aspect of redefining affordable luxury lies in attention to detail. The brand emphasizes material quality, comfort, and performance, ensuring that each product meets the expectations of today’s informed consumers. This approach challenges the conventional belief that premium eyewear must always come at a high cost, making well-designed products accessible to a broader audience.

Another factor contributing to the brand’s growth is its ability to stay aligned with changing consumer behavior. As digital platforms continue to influence purchasing decisions, Hashtag Eyewear has expanded its presence online, allowing customers across India to explore and access its collections with ease. This shift reflects a deeper understanding of convenience-driven buying patterns and the importance of accessibility in today’s market.

Beyond accessibility, the brand’s product range reflects versatility. It continues to evolve across categories, offering solutions that cater to both lifestyle and functional needs. Whether it is everyday wear, travel-focused designs, or performance-oriented eyewear, the brand ensures that its offerings remain relevant to diverse consumer preferences.

What distinguishes Hashtag Eyewear is its approach to luxury—not as exclusivity, but as a well-rounded experience. By focusing on design, durability, and affordability, the brand creates value that resonates with a wide spectrum of customers. This philosophy aligns closely with the aspirations of modern Indian consumers, who seek products that reflect both their style and practicality.

As India’s eyewear industry continues to grow, brands that can strike the right balance between innovation and accessibility will lead the way. Hashtag Eyewear, with its customer-first approach and commitment to quality, is well-positioned to be part of this shift.

In redefining what affordable luxury means, the brand is not just responding to market trends—it is helping shape the future of eyewear in India.

New Delhi [India], April 06 : For Anushri, editing has never been tied to one place. Her journey, from Dubai to Mumbai to Los Angeles — has gradually shaped a practice that moves across languages, genres, and different corners of the film industry. 

Having edited films in Hindi, English, Mandarin, and Spanish, Anushri Srinivasan Iyer approaches storytelling with a simple belief: emotion doesn’t belong to one language, and the best films don’t need translation to be felt. 

Anushri’s journey into editing didn’t begin in a film school or on a professional set, but in a classroom in Dubai, where she first opened Adobe Premiere Pro as a high school student. What started as curiosity quickly turned into instinct. That instinct was affirmed early on when she was placed second amongst approximately 45,000 entries in the international CBSE Adobe Creativity Challenge celebrating 150-years of Mahatma Gandhi. She was invited to the Adobe Headquarters in Delhi, and was felicitated by Mr. Shantanu Narayen, The Chairman/CEO of Adobe Inc USA- A moment that marked the beginning of something much bigger. 

While doing her undergraduate studies at Whistling Woods International, Film City Mumbai, her relationship with storytelling began to take shape — not just technically, but creatively and personally. During this time, she directed and edited the short film Radhika, which went on to win multiple awards, including Best Amateur Film at the Sun of the East International Film Festival, The Goa International film festival and Tagore International Film Festival. Anushri’s work gained recognition with the short film Vijaya Dashami, which was selected among the top 100 short films at the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival, Mumbai. Anushri was the Head of the Whistling Woods Earth Charter, where she organized initiatives focused on environmental awareness and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. 

It was her move to Los Angeles that marked a turning point. At the American Film Institute Conservatory, where she completed her Masters Degree in Film Editing, Anushri Iyer found herself in an environment that pushed her to refine both her

craft and her voice. Working across a wide range of genres — including comedy, thriller, animation, and horror — she began to understand just how much power an editor holds. 

Her thesis film HIM, screened at the AFI FEST 2025 at the Chinese theater in Hollywood, became a particularly defining project. Anushri’s thesis film ‘HIM’ was selected across various film schools to receive an Amazon Studios AI Grant. Through the grant she explored the various uses of AI in filmmaking. The process changed the way she approached editing, allowing her to better understand the inner lives of characters and guiding her to make choices that felt more deliberate and more intuitive to the story itself. During her time at AFI, she also edited ‘Spectre’ and ‘When the cold wind blows’ which premiered at the Singapore Int Film Festival 2025 and Beyond Fest 2025 Los Angeles 2025. She also volunteered at the SMPTE MTS 2024 and ACE Eddie Awards 2025 and 2026. 

Anushri Iyer has steadily built her presence within the Hollywood Film industry. She has worked as an Assistant Editor on the feature film The Best Summer, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival which received coverage in major publications such as Variety and Rolling Stone. She also worked as an Assistant Editor on the short film The Window Cleaners, which was part of the For Your Consideration campaign for the Academy Awards. 

Her work extends across both traditional and digital platforms. As a freelance Assistant Editor for Jubilee Media, she contributed to widely viewed digital content, while continuing to edit independent narrative films in Los Angeles. She also served as an Additional Editor on the feature film Where the Wind Blows, which had a theatrical release and is now available on Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video. 

Anushri Srinivasan Iyer is an Avid certified professional and is currently working as a Post-Production Assistant at Sony Pictures for a show to be released in 2026 on Apple TV, while also serving as an Assistant Editor on two upcoming feature films set for release — continuing to build a career that moves fluidly between independent and studio spaces. 

For Anushri, editing isn’t just about assembling footage, it’s about understanding what a moment is really trying to say, and shaping it so it lands honestly with an audience.

Anushri’s editing perspective is shaped by her experiences across film industries, cities, and cultures — but grounded in something simple: paying attention to performances, to rhythm and to the small, often invisible choices that ultimately define how a story is experienced. 

As her learning continues to grow, Anushri remains drawn to stories that feel personal yet resonate widely — stories rooted in emotional truth and human connection. 

Because at its core, she believes cinema works the same way everywhere—it connects through feeling, not language

The gesture represented a powerful blend of emotional legacy and digital innovation — honouring the past while stepping boldly into the future.

CEO Speaks: A Digital Literary Revolution

Speaking about the historic launch, Suneesh S, Founder & CEO of Madism Digital, said:

●        “MDLF is not just a festival; it is the beginning of a digital literary revolution from Kerala to the world. At a time when content consumption is rapidly shifting online, literature too deserves a powerful global digital stage. By positioning MDLF as Asia’s first and largest fully digital e-literature festival, we are creating a truly borderless platform where ideas, creativity, and cultural dialogue can thrive without physical limitations.

This is only the first edition. Our vision is to expand globally — bringing international writers, thinkers, and cultural leaders into future editions — and transforming MDLF into one of the world’s most influential digital literary movements.”

Madism Digital’s Rapid Rise

In a remarkably short span, Madism Digital has emerged as a dynamic Malayalam digital media platform with strong audience engagement across social media ecosystems.

Asia’s First & Largest Fully Digital E-Literature Festival

Kerala | February 26 – March 1, 2026

A historic beginning — from Kerala to the world.

After more than three decades of marriage, the couple looked visibly emotional and grateful as they welcomed their guests. The celebration reflected not just the longevity of their relationship, but the strength and understanding that has defined their journey together. Friends and well-wishers shared fond anecdotes, laughter filled the room, and the atmosphere remained intimate despite the presence of many prominent names.

Among the distinguished guests were Nawab Malik former Cabinet minister Maharashtra,
B. L. Verma, Central Minister of State for Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution, and Ramdas Athawale, Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment and Rajya Sabha. The gathering also saw the presence of Vineet Singh, Member of the Legislative Council (Mirzapur/Sonbhadra) BJP Kripashankar Singh
Former Member of Legislative Assembly of Maharashtra.

From the entertainment fraternity, veteran actor Raza Murad, popular television actress Shubhangi Atre, actress Dipshikkha Nagppal, actor-entrepreneur Mrunal Jain, and comedian Sunil Pal were seen extending their warm wishes to the couple.

The highlight of the evening was the cake-cutting ceremony, where Sanjay and Smita shared a quiet, affectionate moment amid applause and cheers. It was not just a celebration of years spent together, but of a partnership that continues to grow stronger with time — a reminder that lasting love is built on patience, trust, and unwavering support.

The hardest part of being a creator in India is not creating content. It is earning consistently.

India has more than 4.5 million content creators today, spanning independent digital creators and well-known celebrities. They shape consumer behaviour, influence purchasing decisions, and drive cultural conversations. Yet for most of them, content creation still does not translate into predictable income.

For independent creators, the struggle is familiar. One campaign arrives unexpectedly, followed by weeks of silence. Messages go unanswered. Negotiations drag on. Income remains uncertain. Many eventually step away, not because they lack skill, but because the system around them is unreliable.

Celebrities face a different version of the same problem. Despite their reach, brand conversations often move through multiple intermediaries. Managers, agents, and coordinators add layers that slow decisions and dilute clarity. Deals are delayed or dropped altogether, not due to lack of demand, but because access is fragmented.

What is changing now is the structure of the creator economy. Creators who build clear positioning, remain professionally discoverable, and engage directly with marketers are beginning to earn more consistently. The focus is shifting from one-off collaborations to repeat relationships.

Platforms like HashFame are emerging as part of this shift, acting as networking infrastructure that enables direct connections between creators, celebrities, and marketers. By reducing friction and improving access, they help turn content creation from a gamble into a profession.

The future of the creator economy in India will not be driven by virality alone. It will be shaped by systems that allow creators to build stable, long-term careers.

New Delhi [India], February 10 : As India’s fashion market evolves toward refined minimalism and purpose-driven design, premium women’s western wear label DELAN has introduced a new brand narrative titled “Suns and Shadows,” reflecting the growing appetite for understated elegance, versatility, and modern sophistication among urban consumers.

The title “Suns and Shadows” feels expansive and cinematic, hinting at contrast, depth, and movement. It evokes a collection shaped by many moments bright, unapologetic highs and quieter, introspective lows. The name captures duality: light versus dark, softness versus strength, stillness versus drama. It works beautifully for pieces that play with multiple colours, varied textures, and bold statements, allowing each garment to exist in its own mood while remaining part of a cohesive story.

The concept marks a strategic creative shift for DELAN, offering a more cinematic and expressive visual language while remaining anchored in the brand’s core philosophy of quiet luxury fashion that prioritises craftsmanship, comfort, and timeless appeal over fast-moving trends. “Suns and Shadows” feels fluid rather than rigid, like a journey through changing light across time, immersive, poetic, and editorial in its tone.

The collection explores contrast as a storytelling device light and depth, softness and structure mirroring the everyday realities of contemporary women navigating professional and personal spaces. The shoot demonstrates how premium western wear can feel elevated through refined silhouettes, premium fabrics, and subtle detailing, rather than overt embellishment.

Founded by Vikas Kumar Sardana, Founder and Creative Director, DELAN draws on more than two decades of experience across apparel manufacturing and retail. Beginning his career in surplus and retail apparel in 2008, Sardana gained deep operational insight into fabric quality, consumer behaviour, fit engineering, and durability insights that later shaped DELAN’s design-first approach.

Launched in 2022, the brand was conceived to address a visible gap in India’s premium western wear space: clothing that blends elegance with real-world wearability. From breathable fabrics and structured tailoring to versatile colour palettes, DELAN positions itself for women seeking wardrobe longevity rather than seasonal novelty.

‘Suns and Shadows’ represents the rhythm of everyday life strong moments, softer transitions, and everything in between,” Sardana notes. “Our designs are created for real environments workdays, meetings, social gatherings not just curated photoshoots. This campaign brings that reality into a modern, visual narrative.”

The brand’s strategy aligns with a broader shift in India’s premium apparel sector. With consumers increasingly quality-conscious, investment dressing focused on comfort, durability, and multi-use styling is gaining momentum over trend-driven fashion cycles. Working professionals, in particular, are prioritising adaptable western wear that seamlessly transitions from daytime formal to evening casual.

Industry observers note that minimalist aesthetics, premium fabric experiences, and functional design have emerged as decisive purchase drivers, signalling a maturing fashion market that values craftsmanship alongside visual appeal.

Through “Suns and Shadows,” DELAN reinforces its product-centric positioning, highlighting precision fit, thoughtful construction, and fabric excellence while introducing a contemporary creative identity that reflects confidence, depth, and modern femininity.

As India’s premium western wear segment continues to expand, brands rooted in quality-led design and lifestyle relevance are increasingly shaping the next phase of fashion consumption. DELAN’s latest narrative signals a commitment to building enduring wardrobes, not fleeting trends, for the evolving Indian woman.

The campaign underscores that protection from UV exposure has become an integral part of daily life, whether during commutes, outdoor moments or creative pursuits, and should feel as effortless as the life it protects

SPF Protection That Moves With You

WishCare’s Head to Toe Sunscreen range is designed for consistent daily use across different settings and sun exposed areas of the body.

The Head to Toe Sunscreen line is created with performance and simplicity in mind, aimed at individuals whose days are defined by movement, transitions and overlapping responsibilities rather than pauses.

Her ability to navigate multiple roles mirrors the adaptability that WishCare seeks to champion through its products.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] : Title Waves Bookstore, Bandra, hosted an engaging book reading and discussion session for "Girl in Scarlet Hijab " by Dr.Suresh U.Kumar on Thursday. The author was in conversation with fellow authors  Dr. Swaroop Sampat Rawal and Reeta Ramamurthy Gupta. The session was  moderated by actor and founder of Paperbacktalks, Rahul Saini.

The trigger to writing a book is often a life altering moment. And so it was for author Suresh Kumar, a prominent Indian origin resident of New Jersey, visiting India to firm up plans for a Malayali language translation of the book. The Kerala born, US migrated business leader’s debut novel  “Girl in Scarlet Hijab", is set against the tumultuous backdrop of 1980s Kerala.

The author says, “The specific thought that had come to my mind as I was waiting all alone in the pre-surgery room was, 'I have not told the stories of my land and my people to my son, then just 12. What if something goes wrong and I do not come out alive? How would he learn about his people and their courage, love and sacrifice?' That was when I made a promise to myself that if all goes well- I will write those stories first. This was the motivation for writing “Girl in Scarlet Hijab".

Book- Girl in Scarlet Hijab by Dr. Suresh U Kumar

It took Suresh three years to weave a gripping narrative of revolution, identity and sacrifice. The protagonist in the novel is Rukhsana Mirza, a young woman whose scarlet hijab becomes an iconic symbol of defiance as she joins forces with other student activists Murali and Shibu in their fight against political corruption. Drawing from real historical events, including the legacy of freedom fighters and the forgotten heroes of India's independence movement, Kumar's work interrogates accepted history while exploring the fragile nature of revolution in contemporary India. At the launch, Suresh explained, “The historical setting includes Mahatma Gandhi’s visit to Kerala in 1925, the 1942 jail break of Jayaprakash Narayan, and the 1946 mutiny of the Royal Indian Navy,” he explained. "By bookmarking these incidents, I have created a Rang de Basanti style narrative of youth awakening."

Educator Dr.Swaroop Sampat Rawal and Asia’s first reading coach Reeta Ramamurthy Gupta gave their insights on the value of reading, particularly fiction and discussed what makes a story interesting enough to be made into a film.  A loyal audience of book lovers was in attendance, asking keen questions and making a beeline for signed copies.

Udaipur (Rajasthan) [India], January 5 : Udaipur witnessed an evening of grace, emotion, and powerful storytelling as Nuke Preworkout presents Marvelous Mrs India Season 3 unfolded on 16th December. More than a pageant, the evening stood as a heartfelt celebration of womanhood — where dreams were honoured, identities reclaimed, and beauty redefined from the inside out.

The prestigious crown of Nuke Preworkout, Marvelous Mrs India Season 3, was won by Anjali Gorang Kothari, whose poise, wisdom and life experience moved both the audience and the jury. Diti Thacker was announced as the First Runner-Up, while Dr Suyesha Khanijao claimed the title of Second Runner-Up, each embodying strength, authenticity and quiet confidence.

In another title category- Marvelous Ms India for Unmarried women over 35, Aditi Agarwal emerged victorious, with Eesha Agarwal securing the First Runner-Up position — once again reinforcing that this platform celebrates diversity of journeys, not a singular definition of beauty.

The presence of distinguished dignitaries elevated the evening. Mrs Amrita Fadnavis, First Lady of Maharashtra and wife of Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister Mr Devendra Fadnavis, graced the occasion as the Chief Guest, lending warmth and encouragement to the participants. Nivritti Kumari of Mewar, representing a lineage of grace and legacy, attended as Guest of Honour, adding royal elegance to the night.

The panel of judges featured celebrated personalities: Sangeeta Bijlani, a Bollywood actress and Winner of Mrs UAE World; Taylor Elizabeth Peramond, a winner of Mrs UAE World; and industrialist Dhruv Somani, who brought global perspective, empathy, and discernment to the judging process.

Hair and makeup by Mala Motwani of Shine & Glow and Designer Ashfaq Ahmed made the special chabbis look their gorgeous best.

Founded by Dr Aditi Govitrikar, with support from Aarzoo Govitrikar, Marvelous Mrs India is built on a philosophy that challenges long-standing stereotypes. With the powerful hashtag #BeautyInsideOut, the pageant boldly declares that beauty is not defined by height, weight, age, skin colour or language. It is one of India’s most inclusive platforms — welcoming women from all walks of life, at any stage of their journey.

“If you look at our winners, you will understand our belief,” shares Dr Govitrikar. “Sunita Dia is a practising doctor, Salona Pati proudly embraces her curves, and Anjali Gorang Kothari is a stunning and fit 58-year-old woman. This is what real beauty looks like — lived, earned and owned.”

What truly sets Marvelous Mrs India apart is its holistic transformation journey. Participants undergo an intense and nurturing online training programme that spans a month, culminating in immersive, hands-on grooming at the finale. Dr Govitrikar personally mentors every contestant through one-on-one sessions, focusing not just on ramp walk and presentation, but also on confidence, emotional healing, mindset shifts, and self-worth.

For many women, this platform is not about winning a crown — it is about reclaiming themselves.

As the curtains closed on an unforgettable Season 3, one thing was clear: Marvelous Mrs India is not just creating queens — it is creating empowered women who walk back into their lives taller, braver and more unapologetically themselves.

The journey continues.

Marvelous Mrs. India returns in September 2026, and registrations are already open — inviting women everywhere to step into a transformation that could change their lives forever.

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India] : Bengaluru-based D2C startup NORI launches next-generation travel gear. With its broad and innovative product range, NORI strengthens its position in the Indian market.

Forget old-school “packing cubes.” NORI’s design philosophy reimagines the idea entirely. At the heart of the brand is its Voyager Essentials Set of 6- a cult-favourite kit with dedicated compartments for innerwear, shoes, makeup, tech, laundry, and mid-sized items. Lightweight, checkpoint-friendly, and see-through where it matters, the Voyager makes every transition — from airport security to hotel check-in — faster and smoother.

Its travel organiser system transforms a 15-day trip into a seamless, structured, modular, and instantly accessible wardrobe. Each organiser features a trolley pass-through, visibility windows, and quick-grab handles, ensuring you unpack in seconds and repack without chaos. It’s the difference between managing luggage and mastering travel.

It emerges from a simple yet powerful belief that global travellers are redefining travel. Yet, much of the luggage world still feels stuck in time: boxy, industrial, and built for function over feeling.  NORI steps in with a refreshingly modern answer: travel essentials designed by the founders from their lived-in experience, blending structure with style and function with finesse. Every piece is thoughtfully crafted for the global traveller who seeks beauty in utility and calm in movement.

“I built this for myself and every other person who relates with my frustration. I need to carry 4 pairs of footwear, personal care is actually more than just toiletries, precious jewellery is risky to carry & so much more. We wanted to create luggage & travel bags that can counter such a struggle in one neat system” said Meenakshi, Co-founder, NORI.

“We approach travel design the way we approach our journeys-  there are backup dresses, shoes & accessories. We make it easier to carry & lift. NORI’s design philosophy is about stripping away the unnecessary and keeping what truly adds value,” said Rashika, Co-founder, NORI.

For NORI, travel is an adventure, not a task. The brand’s goal is to make it your companion & a touch playful.

On the Horizon — The Next Chapter of Travel

NORI’s upcoming drops are designed to evolve the travel experience end-to-end:

• Carry-on & Check-in Luggage: feather-light shells, quiet wheels, and interiors that dock seamlessly with organisers.

• Weekender & Work-Week Bags: Sleeve-on-trolley designs with zones for laptops, chargers, and cosmetics.

• Organisers 2.0: Explore our Solemate, Glowkit & Vaulette, already changing the possibilities of how we pack.

• Signature Accessories: To complete your travel look & give it a personality & make it equal parts fun and functional.

The brand’s next orbit, the NORIverse, aims to extend its modular travel system across every stage of the journey. From coordinated trolley sets and commuter-to-red-eye work bags to travel-size personal care kits that nest perfectly inside organisers, NORI envisions a world where every motion feels lighter and more intentional. With plans for airport retail, hospitality collaborations, and global shipping, NORI’s path ahead is as dynamic as the travellers it designs for.

A quiet revolution is reshaping how millennials & Gen Z travellers move. Airlines are trialling comfort-first initiatives (like IndiGo’s women-adjacent seat selections). Female travel communities, such as WOW Club, WeGoBond, Jugni, and Wonder Womaniya, are rewriting the group travel playbook with curated, safety-first itineraries. Fintech brands like Scapia are building travel-first credit Ecosystems. Amid this shift, NORI operates at the most overlooked intersection — the inside of the bag.

By turning the moment of packing into a system rather than a struggle, NORI helps customers cut decision fatigue, speed transitions, and travel with composure and control.

Smart Bags. Calmer Minds. Confident Arrivals.

As global travellers lead more travel decisions and solo journeys continue to rise, the brands that thrive will be those that design for real movement, not “one-size-fits-all. NORI’s promise is simple yet profound — smarter bags, calmer insides, confident arrivals.

New Delhi [India] : The search for authentic spirit mediums in India is growing rapidly as more people seek closure, guidance, and proof of the afterlife. But amid countless “readers” and “healers,” knowing who to trust can feel overwhelming.

Psychic Medium Daksh, one of the best spirit mediums known for his direct channelling abilities and ethical practice, shares what to look for when choosing a genuine spiritual medium.

1. Evidential Accuracy — The Foundation of Real Mediumship

Real mediumship isn’t about vague affirmations — it’s about verifiable evidence. Genuine mediums deliver precise, personal details that cannot be guessed or researched.

“True spirit communication is emotionally recognisable,” says Daksh. “When clients hear exact words or gestures from their loved ones, they instantly know it’s real.”

Always prioritise media that provide specific validations over general comfort statements.

2. Ethical Practice & Confidentiality

Mediumship requires deep trust. Authentic practitioners maintain strict confidentiality and respect emotional boundaries.

“People come in pain — they deserve safety, not publicity,” says Daksh.

Ask your medium about their privacy policy. Avoid anyone who shares client stories or videos without consent.

3. How the Session Is Conducted — Beyond Distance

Energy knows no geography. A real connection with spirit can happen online or offline, because it’s about frequency, not location.

“The spirit realm doesn’t rely on proximity,” explains Daksh. “Whether in Delhi or Dubai, I connect through vibration — no cards, no tools.”

Choose someone who ensures emotional comfort and energetic balance in every session.

4. Validation, Testimonials & Media Presence

Since there’s no academic certification for mediumship, reputation becomes the best credential.

Psychic Medium Daksh has appeared in TEDx Talks, 25+ podcasts, and guided Bollywood celebrities and business leaders, often under confidentiality. Such exposure reflects consistency, trust, and professional ethics.

Research your medium’s background before booking a session.

5. Aftercare & Emotional Integration

True mediumship continues after the session. A real medium helps clients process and integrate the messages received.

“Mediumship is not prediction; it’s healing,” Daksh explains. “It helps people let go, find peace, and understand that love never dies.”

Look for mediums who provide follow-up guidance or healing support rather than one-time readings.

Why Many Mediums Don’t Work — And How to Spot the Real Ones

The spiritual industry is full of imitation. Many combine astrology, tarot, or numerology and label it “mediumship.”
Here’s how to identify authenticity:

• No dependency on tools or props

• Evidential details over emotional flattery

• Calm, grounded demeanour

• Ethical approach without fear-based manipulation

“Real mediums prove life after death through love, not fear,” says Daksh.

About Psychic Medium Daksh

Daksh Kakkar, popularly known as Psychic Medium Daksh, is among the top spirit mediums in India & a renowned spiritual leader, recognised for his exceptional channelling ability — without the use of tarot, astrology, or external tools.

Born with the gift of spiritual communication at age five, he now works with clients globally — from grieving families to high-profile individuals — helping them receive messages from departed souls and higher energies.

With over 100 million online views, two TEDx Talks, and a reputation for ethical, evidence-based mediumship, Daksh represents a new wave of modern spiritual awareness from India.

His mission is to bridge science and spirituality, showing that the afterlife isn’t fiction — it’s frequency.

New Delhi [India] : India has become a sought-after destination for affordable and effective fertility treatments, including in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Prospective parents from around the globe are drawn to the country due to its advanced medical infrastructure, experienced fertility specialists, and competitive pricing. If you’re looking for an IVF center in India, understanding the costs, success rates, and available options can help you make an informed decision tailored to your needs.

Understanding IVF and How It Works

IVF, or in-vitro fertilization, is a form of assisted reproductive technology (ART) where an egg and sperm are combined outside the body in a laboratory setting. Once fertilization occurs, the resulting embryo is transferred to the uterus with the goal of achieving a successful pregnancy. This procedure is often recommended for couples experiencing infertility issues, including ovulation disorders, fallopian tube damage, low sperm count, or unexplained infertility.

The IVF process typically involves several stages, including ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo transfer, and the follow-up phase to confirm pregnancy. While the treatment process is consistent worldwide, the associated costs often vary, due to factors such as location, hospital infrastructure, and the expertise of medical professionals.

IVF Costs in India

One of the significant advantages of opting for IVF treatment in India is its affordability when compared to other countries. The cost of IVF in India typically ranges between ₹1,00,000 and ₹2,50,000 per cycle ($1,200 to $3,000 approximately). However, this price range can vary depending on a variety of factors, such as the city, the clinic's reputation, and any additional procedures or medications required.

For couples seeking treatment, it is essential to review the breakdown of IVF expenses. The total cost usually includes consultation fees, diagnostic tests, medications for ovarian stimulation, the retrieval process, fertilization, and embryo implantation. Some clinics may also provide comprehensive packages to cover these aspects, ensuring transparency in pricing.

IVF Cost in Major Indian Cities

The cost of IVF treatment can fluctuate based on the location, as metropolitan cities usually have more advanced facilities but also higher expenses. Here's an overview of IVF costs in some Indian cities:

• Mumbai: ₹1,50,000 - ₹3,50,000

• Delhi: ₹1,20,000 - ₹3,00,000

• Bangalore: ₹1,00,000 - ₹2,50,000

• Chennai: ₹1,20,000 - ₹2,80,000

• Hyderabad: ₹1,00,000 - ₹2,40,000

• Kolkata: ₹90,000 - ₹2,30,000

• Jaipur :  ₹80,000 - ₹1,50,000

These variations are influenced by the clinic's facilities, the expertise of fertility specialists, and available technology. Evaluating the success rates of a clinic and consulting other patients' experiences can help streamline your decision when selecting the best IVF center in any Indian city.

Factors Influencing IVF Costs

The affordability of IVF treatment does not mean compromising on quality, but patients should be aware of the factors influencing costs. These include:

1. Type of Procedure: Some patients may need additional advanced procedures, such as Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) or Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT), which can increase the overall expense.

2. Medications: Hormonal drugs for ovarian stimulation vary in pricing based on brand and dosage required, contributing to treatment costs.

3. Number of Cycles: Success may not always happen in the first cycle, and multiple cycles might be necessary, adding to the total cost.

4. Clinic Reputation and Expertise: Clinics with highly experienced doctors and state-of-the-art facilities may charge premium prices for their services.

5. Technology and Resources: Access to advanced equipment and embryology labs improves treatment precision and success rates, often influencing costs.

Affordable IVF Options in India

India offers numerous IVF centers that succeed in combining affordability with cutting-edge technology. Clinics often present patients with tailored packages to meet specific medical and financial requirements. For those who need financial assistance, some clinics also collaborate with banks or financial institutions to provide easy installment options, making treatment more accessible.

Patients looking for affordable IVF treatment in India should research and compare options to find a center that aligns with their expectations for care and budget. Some renowned clinics include attempts to minimize financial strain while maintaining personalized care and high success rates.

IVF Success Rates in India

The success rate of IVF treatment in India ranges between 40% and 60%, depending on various factors such as the patient’s age, the quality of eggs and sperm, and the expertise of the fertility team. Younger patients, typically below the age of 35, often experience higher chances of success due to better egg and sperm viability. Clinics equipped with the latest technology and skilled specialists can further improve your chances of a positive outcome.

It’s vital to remember that success rates also depend on individual circumstances, and discussing these variables with a specialist will provide clarity before proceeding with treatment.

Choosing the Best IVF Center in India

Finding the right IVF center is pivotal for a successful treatment experience. While costs are an important factor, evaluating the clinic’s quality of care, patient reviews, and success stories should also guide your decision.

Key Considerations:

• Check the credentials and experience of the fertility specialists.

• Investigate the clinic’s infrastructure and technological advancements.

• Compare pricing transparency and additional service options offered.

• Look at patient testimonials and success rate data specific to the clinic.

Final Thoughts

Looking for the best IVF center in Jaipur provides a beacon of hope for countless couples and individuals facing infertility challenges. With competitive costs, world-class technology, and a compassionate medical approach, patients can access top-notch care tailored to their financial and emotional needs. By understanding the factors affecting treatment prices and carefully choosing a reliable clinic, you can take a confident step forward in your fertility journey.

Whether you’re planning treatment in a bustling metropolitan hub or a quieter city, the available options for IVF treatment in India reflect a combination of affordability and quality that continues to attract patients globally.

Surat (Gujarat) [India], August 25 : Ganesh Chaturthi is more than a festival of devotion-it’s a celebration of new beginnings, creativity, and prosperity. As homes across India light up with festivities and fashion comes alive with vibrant ensembles, one brand has been redefining how fabrics are chosen, styled, and cherished-FABONIQUE.

Founded by Nency Ghori, with over 40 years of legacy in her family’s textile business, Fabonique has emerged as a trusted name for women, boutique owners, fashion designers, and tailors who seek premium fabrics without the burden of bulk buying. In just one year, the brand has achieved remarkable growth, driven by its focus on material quality, fair pricing, and always-trending designs.

A Festival of Fabrics and Freshness

Just as Ganesh Chaturthi welcomes innovation in rituals with deep respect for tradition, Fabonique brings the same balance to the fabric world. Whether it’s timeless weaves or modern prints, the brand ensures every creator-from a boutique designer to a home-based entrepreneur-finds fabrics that inspire confidence.

This season, Fabonique has introduced:

 Combo Fabrics – curated sets for designers and boutiques to mix, match, and create effortlessly.
 Position Print Fabrics – one of the most demanded styles, perfect for festive outfits with bold, statement looks.
 Viscose Print Fabrics – elegant, breathable, and ideal for ethnic as well as Indo-western wear.

These collections reflect not just fashion trends but the festive spirit that defines occasions like Ganesh Chaturthi.

Why FABONIQUE Stands Apart

The fabric industry often limits smaller creators with high MOQs, lack of trendy options, and inconsistent quality. Fabonique was born to solve this very problem. With no minimum order quantity (MOQ) and fabrics starting from just 1 meter, the brand empowers every buyer-whether they’re testing a design or producing an entire collection.

Here’s what makes Fabonique the go-to choice this festive season:

•  Affordable: Prices starting from ₹150 per meter
•  Trendy & Fast Updating: 30 new fabrics every month (15 regular + 15 new category)
•  Reliable: Direct from manufacturer with consistent quality
•  Accessible: Fabrics for every occasion-weddings, festivals, casual wear, western, and partywear
•  Supportive: Just a call away for guidance and fabric support

Fabrics that Celebrate Festivity

Ganesh Chaturthi is a time when families dress in their best, and designers search for fabrics that not only look good but also feel festive. Fabonique’s lineup offers exactly that:

• Embroidered Fabrics – intricate detailing for bridal and festive outfits
• Printed & Pattern-Based Fabrics – from contemporary motifs to cultural patterns
• Trend-Based Fabrics – keeping creators ahead of the fashion curve
• Occasion-Based Fabrics – carefully selected for weddings, festivals, parties, and daywear

Whether it’s a lehenga, saree, dupatta, or gown, Fabonique ensures the material resonates with both tradition and trend.

From One Meter to Many Dreams

For Nency Ghori, Fabonique is more than a business-it’s a movement to support women and creators. By offering flexibility, trust, and inspiration, Fabonique has become a partner in growth for boutique owners, tailors, and upcoming designers.

This Ganesh Chaturthi, as we pray for new beginnings, Fabonique continues to stand with creators who want to start small, grow consistently, and craft something extraordinary.

Celebrate with Fabonique

As Lord Ganesha is welcomed with devotion and grandeur, let your festive collection reflect the same spirit. With Fabonique’s fabrics-crafted for comfort, designed for trends, and priced for growth-you don’t just buy fabric, you buy possibility.

Surinder Films presents Robe Nirobe, a Rabindra Sangeet reimagined for our times, where every note carries the weight of longing, and every silence brims with meaning. Brought to life through the soulful voice and thoughtful arrangement of Samantak Sinha who has, over the years, carved a space for himself as one of the most expressive interpreters of Tagore’s songs since Ganer Opare, directed by legendary Rituporno Ghosh.

Directed by Paramita Banerjee, this isn’t just a music video. It’s a cinematic meditation on what it means to love and lose across the invisible borders drawn by belief systems. Rahul Dev Bose and Debadrita Basu, coming together on screen after three years, portray rival political leaders whose shared past lingers just beneath the surface of power and propaganda. Their chemistry unfolds not in dramatic declarations, but in glances and silences.

At its core, Robe Nirobe is a daring artistic conversation. It doesn’t just present a Tagore song it reinterprets its emotional and political resonance in today’s divided world. Here, Rabindranath isn’t background music; he is the soul of the story.

As the haunting melody begins and the story gently unravels, Robe Nirobe emerges as more than a video. It is a cultural moment. One that asks us to listen, not just with our ears, but with empathy.

Premiering soon on the official platforms of Surinder Films, this is where music, memory, and meaning collide. Don’t miss it.

A first trip to Europe can be a thrilling experience, but planning should be thorough when it comes to navigating Schengen visa procedures. The Schengen area consists of 29 European countries that allow you to travel freely across borders with a single visa.

However, to enjoy this experience, you need to understand the application process and gather the right documents like Schengen travel insurance to meet the key requirements.

From the benefits of having a Schengen visa to step-by-step application guidance and common mistakes to avoid, this guide covers everything a first-time traveller should know. Keep reading for a detailed insight.

What are the Benefits of a Schengen Visa?

A Schengen visa offers a wide range of advantages for travellers, such as:

1.Access to 29 European Countries

With a single visa, you can travel freely across 29 Schengen areas without needing multiple visas. This makes multi-country trips across Europe smooth and hassle-free.

2.Easy Visa Process

Instead of applying for separate visas for each destination, the Schengen visa allows access to multiple countries through a single application—saving time, money, and paperwork.

3.Borderless Travel Experience

Once you enter the Schengen zone, you can move across countries without border checks, making it easy to explore iconic cities, attend events, or take weekend getaways.

4.Affordable, Quality Education and Travel

Europe is home to world-class institutions and attractive travel options, often at lower costs compared to other regions. The Schengen visa helps unlock these experiences without visa restrictions.

5.Increased Access to Scholarships and Funding

If you are eligible for grants or scholarships in Europe, having a Schengen visa can help you apply to multiple institutions across different countries more easily.

How to Apply for a Schengen Visa from India?

The following steps are for a Schengen visa from India:

Step 1: Choose Your Main Destination and Embassy

Select the country you will visit—either where you will stay the longest or enter first. Apply through its consulate in India, or through the consulate representing it if no direct mission is available.

Step 2: Confirm the Visa Type

Go to the official embassy website or VFS Global to check if a visa is required and to confirm the correct visa type based on your travel purpose.

Step 3: Complete the Application Form

Fill out the Schengen visa application online, selecting the right category—tourism, business, study, etc. Print the completed form for submission.

Step 4: Schedule Your Appointment

Book your appointment through VFS Global or the embassy portal. This is when you will submit documents and complete your biometric enrolment.

Step 5: Attend the Visa Appointment

On the appointment day, visit the application centre to hand in your documents, provide biometric data, and pay the visa fee. After submission, your application will be reviewed.

What are the Documents Required for Applying for a Schengen Visa?

When applying for a Schengen visa, make sure you gather the following essential documents:

• A fully completed and signed visa application form.
• Two recent colour photographs (35×45 mm), showing 70–80% of your face clearly.
• A valid passport with at least two blank pages, which should remain valid for at least three months beyond your intended return date. If you have an old, expired, or cancelled passport, bring that as well.
• Confirmed bookings for flights and accommodation during your stay.
• Travel insurance that meets Schengen requirements, with a minimum medical cover of €30,000  (₹30,37,440).
• Bank statements from the past six months to prove that you have adequate funds to cover your expenses during the trip.
• A cover letter outlining the reason for your visit and your travel plans.
• Proof of payment for the applicable visa fee.

Is it Compulsory for Schengen Travellers to Carry Travel Insurance?

Yes, carrying valid travel insurance is mandatory when applying for a Schengen visa. Travellers applying for a single or double-entry visa must provide proof of sufficient travel insurance that covers emergency medical treatment, hospital care, and repatriation.

The policy must offer minimum coverage of €30,000 and remain valid across all Schengen countries for the full duration of the visit. For those applying for a multiple-entry Schengen visa, proof of travel insurance is required at the time of application—specifically for the first intended trip.

Applicants must also confirm in writing, via the application form, that they will maintain valid insurance for any future visits.

What Mistakes to Avoid as a First-Time Schengen Traveller?

Applying for a Schengen visa can be a smooth process if handled correctly. Here are the mistakes you must avoid:

1.Submitting an Incorrect Application

Errors or omissions in the application form are one of the leading causes of rejection. Inaccurate details, unanswered questions, or information that does not match supporting documents raise doubts. Always fill out the form truthfully, follow the instructions, and double-check before submitting.

2.Not Providing Adequate Financial Proof

Applicants must show they have sufficient funds to cover their trip. Failure to submit recent bank statements, salary slips, or sponsorship letters can result in denial. Ensure your documents reflect the minimum daily financial requirement based on your itinerary.

3.Missing a Detailed Travel Plan

A vague itinerary can weaken your application. Provide confirmed flight bookings, hotel reservations, and a day-by-day travel plan. A clear schedule demonstrates your purpose and intent to return home.

4.Lack of Valid Travel Insurance

Your Schengen travel insurance must meet the €30,000 coverage requirement and provide coverage for medical emergencies and repatriation. Submitting expired or non-compliant insurance can lead to rejection. Make sure your travel insurance policy is valid for the entire duration.

5.Inadequate Proof of Accommodation

Unverifiable or fake bookings raise red flags. Submit genuine, preferably refundable hotel reservations with complete details, including name, address, contact information, and stay dates.

6.Unclear Purpose of Visit

A poorly defined reason for travel, or documents that do not support your stated purpose, may result in refusal. Include a detailed cover letter, supporting documents (like an invitation or event itinerary), and ensure everything aligns with your stated reason for visiting.

7.Missing or Outdated Supporting Documents

Submitting incomplete sets of documents can cause delays or outright rejection. Create a checklist and ensure everything is up to date and in line with embassy requirements.

8.Passport Not Meeting Requirements

If your passport is expired, damaged, or lacks two blank pages, your application will likely be rejected. Your passport should be valid for a minimum of three months after your intended departure from the Schengen zone.

9.Applying to the Wrong Embassy

You are required to submit your visa application to the embassy or consulate of the country where you intend to spend the majority of your stay. Misapplying can lead to immediate refusal.

10. Ignoring Visa Processing Time

One frequent error is delaying the visa application until the last moment. Processing may take several weeks. Apply at least 3 to 6 weeks before your travel date to avoid delays and allow for any additional documentation requests.

Travelling to the Schengen area for the first time can be a smooth experience if you plan ahead, submit accurate documents, and follow the visa process carefully. One of the most important requirements is valid Schengen travel insurance, which supports your visa application and safeguards you in case of medical emergencies. With the right preparation, you will be ready to explore Europe in peace of mind.

New Delhi / New York, July 2025 : In a proud moment for India and a defining one for global pageantry, Akshita Pinapaty has become the first Indian to be crowned Miss Teen Universal, triumphing over contestants from 17 countries. Her victory is not just a testament to personal achievement, but a powerful representation of Indian culture, youth leadership, and progressive femininity on the international stage.

At just 19, Akshita has emerged as one of the most dynamic faces of Gen Z—an individual who blends intellect with influence, style with substance, and ambition with empathy. Her journey from Bengaluru to New York, from school stages to global crowns, is nothing short of inspiring.

Crowned with Purpose

Akshita’s triumph at Miss Teen Universal 2025 signals a shift in the way pageantry is perceived. For her, the crown is not about glamour—it’s about amplifying impact. Throughout her journey, she has used her voice to spotlight critical global issues: feminism, child welfare, poverty alleviation, and access to education.

> “This win is bigger than me—it’s for every girl who dreams beyond limitations and leads with compassion,” said Akshita. “The platform of pageantry gave me a global voice, and I’m determined to use it to speak up for change.”

Her poise, authenticity, and unwavering commitment to diversity and inclusion have earned her praise from across the world. She’s not just a queen—she’s a changemaker.

Academic Excellence at FIT, New York

Currently pursuing her degree at the globally recognized Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York, Akshita represents the perfect blend of academia and advocacy. As both an Orientation Leader and Senator for the Cosmetics and Fragrance Marketing Department, she plays an active role in student leadership, inclusion initiatives, and institutional strategy.

Her role at FIT exemplifies her ability to lead in high-pressure environments while maintaining academic integrity and professional presence. She is admired for her ability to represent her culture with pride, while engaging meaningfully with international communities.

> “Education has been my foundation—it gives me clarity, discipline, and the confidence to build beyond myself,” Akshita reflected.

Driving Sustainability in Fashion

Akshita is also making waves in the world of sustainable fashion. Earlier this year, she conceptualized and led a week-long certification program on ethical fashion practices, drawing participation from students, independent designers, and sustainability activists.

The program focused on artisan empowerment, eco-conscious manufacturing, and circular economy models. Akshita’s belief that fashion should be a platform for equity and environmental justice sets her apart as a forward-thinking advocate in a fast-changing industry.

-AnBan Soulmates Mein crosses 7 million views

Mumbai, July 22, 2025 : AnBan Soulmates Mein, the deeply human and emotionally raw film by writer-director Tapan Ghosh, has amassed over 7 million views on YouTube. But beyond its growing digital reach, what’s capturing attention is the unconventional and empowering way the film was made – blending storytelling with social purpose.

At the heart of Ghosh’s process is a unique “Earn While You Learn” model, where aspiring actors are given paid opportunities to work and learn on live film sets. Inspired by his earlier work in engineering and vocational training at Tema India and Leo Engineering Works, Ghosh has brought the same real-world, hands-on learning framework into the world of cinema.

“Some of these young talents came to us after exhausting their families’ savings on acting schools,” Ghosh recalls. “They worked hard, took risks, and gave everything emotionally. Many returned disillusioned from the TV industry – and here, we tried to build something that gave them dignity and momentum again.”

AnBan itself was shot without rigid storyboarding or rehearsals. Actors improvised freely, drawing from personal memories and raw emotions. In one pivotal scene, a first-time actress broke down, deviating from the script entirely – the moment was so powerful, Ghosh kept it in the final cut. “That’s when you realise storytelling doesn’t need polish – it needs truth,” he says.

The process mirrors the iterative, collaborative approach Ghosh once applied in engineering design. “In both worlds, we experiment, learn, and grow together,” he adds. “This is not about me; it’s about building a platform that empowers people through creation.”

As the film continues to attract organic viewership, Ghosh is opening his doors to anyone curious about the process. “We’re happy to share what we’ve built – whether you’re an aspiring actor, filmmaker, or just someone who believes in real, honest stories,” he says.

With AnBan Soulmates Mein, Tapan Ghosh has proven that storytelling can be a force not just for art – but for upliftment, learning, and authentic emotional connection.

In an age where technology drives our external world, many still seek deeper answers within. The modern individual, faced with unprecedented challenges, often turns to ancient sciences for guidance, healing, and alignment.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] : Ishaara, a restaurant known for its authentic Indian cuisine, brings back the much-loved Undivided Punjab pop-up menu to Mumbai.  After winning hearts in Pune, Bangalore, Lucknow, and Ahmedabad, this special menu, a tribute to the rich, pre-partition food traditions of Punjab,  makes its final stop at Ishaara, Palladium Mall, starting 16th July 2025.

Curated by Chef Sherry Mehta and inspired by a candid conversation with Bellona Hospitality’s MD, Prashant Issar, the menu was born from a shared nostalgia. As they reminisced about their Punjabi roots, they realized how many traditional dishes had faded from memory. This sparked the idea to revive those long-lost recipes and celebrate the rich, cross-cultural heritage of Punjab.

The undivided Punjab menu brings to life forgotten flavours from the kitchens of pre-partition cities like Lahore, Amritsar, and Rawalpindi. The dishes include authentic curries, pulav, kebabs, and breads from before the tandoor as we know it. Influenced by Greek, Persian, Moorish, and British cuisines, these dishes tell stories of a Punjab that once knew no borders.

Prashant Issar, Managing Director of Bellona Hospitality, shared, “Undivided Punjab began as a deeply personal idea, a nostalgic conversation about lost recipes and fading culinary memories. To see it resonate with people across cities has been incredibly moving. This is the final showcase in Mumbai, an ode to the recipes long lost in time across the borders.” 

“This journey has been deeply personal. With every dish, I’ve tried to honour the forgotten kitchens and stories of a land that once thrived in unity. Undivided Punjab is more than a menu; it’s a memory, a legacy, and a tribute to generations before us. Bringing it to Mumbai one last time feels like coming home,” says Chef Sherry Mehta.

Back in Mumbai for its final run, this pop-up menu brings back forgotten recipes crafted with age-old techniques, slow-cooked in clay pots, seasoned with hand-ground spices, and made using local ingredients. Hosted at Ishaara, an award-winning restaurant recognized by the Times Food & Nightlife Awards and NDTV, this is a last chance to experience the flavours that have captured hearts across the country.

From CEMEX 2011 in Chennai to GEMEX 2012 in Guwahati, Hari Balaji is the innovator of disaster simulations that revolutionized the way states in India prepare for emergencies. His experience has transformed reactive crisis management into proactive system development. Whether constructing early warning systems, coordinating multi - agency exercises, or incorporating gender-sensitive approaches into emergency response through his work with UNFPA, his goal has been one - prepare before disaster, protect during, and rebuild after.

When COVID-19 threw the world into turmoil, he stepped up once more - at the forefront - this time as UNICEF's Public Health Emergency Specialist, navigating public health planning in several states with cool precision.

A Professor Who Builds Leaders, Not Just Students

As a Professor of Practice at Saveetha School of Law and visiting faculty at top institutions like MIT World Peace University, Hari Balaji’s classrooms are anything but conventional. He’s not just teaching theories - he’s preparing future leaders to manage crises on the ground.

With experiential simulations, role-plays for emergencies, and real-time decision - making simulations, his students learn to function at the centre of the storm. They're not mere academics - trained responders mentored by a person who's witnessed disasters play out and understand how to react when systems fail.

His approach to education - one centered on empathy, execution, and empowerment is bridging academia and ground reality. In so doing, he has built a new generation of disaster-ready citizens.

Recognition Rooted in Real Impact

Forever Star India's Super Hero 2025 title is just one of many accolades Hari Balaji has achieved - but it's a notable one, recognizing his continued contributions in the area of research and disaster preparedness. His awards, such as the Humanitarian Award, Bhale Bharat Award, Harit Ratna, and Youth Achiever Vision 2020, are a testament to a journey that has been marked by ceaseless commitment.

V. R. Hari Balaji is not waiting to be remembered—he's creating a future where communities are safer, responses are faster, and leadership is action-defined. With the Super Hero 2025 title under his belt, his journey is a blueprint for others who wish to convert challenges into missions.

Internationally certified by Harvard, UNDP, FEMA, and CDC, Hari Balaji combines global best practices with local wisdom. His work during the Chennai floods of 2016, Kerala deluge, and several other crises exhibit not only strategic genius but a strong intrinsic empathy for human lives.

Now, with 30,000+ YouTube subscribers and an increasing online following, he's a voice the public trusts, and one the media turns to in times of national crisis.

With a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering and a Post Graduate Executive Program (PGEP) in Quantity Surveying and Contract Management from the National Institute of Construction Management and Research (NICMAR), Krishna's educational background has allowed her to develop the requisite skills and knowledge to perform effectively in the challenging field of civil engineering. Her academic preparation stands as a fundamental base plus her specialty at L&T in Planning and Project Control.

Breaking Stereotypes: Women Engineers Leading India's Growth

Krishna has done extensive work on the RIL MEG Reclamation Project at Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh. This enormous industrial project focuses on sustainable development and reclamation of the environment, in line with broader views under India's framework of ecological balance and industrial advancement.

During her period with the project, Krishna has had a more or less hands-on involvement in project planning, resource allocation, and time management. She even ensures that the project conforms to all sets of environmental standards and engineering practices. Her great input also ensures that the project is run successfully while showcasing the role civil engineers play in nation-building.

Empowering Women in Engineering: A Role Model for Future Generations

The title "Super Woman 2025" under an FSIA award is not merely an individual recognition but, rather, a grand panoramic acknowledgement bestowed upon women wresting entry with increasing authority in traditionally male professions like engineering. Krishna's feat serves as an inspiration for aspiring female engineers, revealing that with total commitment, education, and hard work, one can rise to national fame and establish an awesome career.

FSIA's decision to honor women in various professions highlights the need for workplace diversity and inclusion. In honoring Krishna, the organization celebrates her achievements but also puts a spotlight on creating systemic changes needed for gender equality in engineering and other STEM disciplines.

Her recognition as "Super Woman 2025" means a lot, as it captures a journey from Earnest student of Vijayawada to a nationally renowned civil engineer contributing to sustainable infrastructure in India. An inspiring story, it quite simply states how much an able professional is important for national development and why women's contributions must be recognized and supported in all sectors.

With its historical heritage, natural beauty, and vibrant cultural legacy, Rajasthan offers everything a traveler seeks. The state is working to position itself as a top destination, delivering unique experiences to visitors while creating opportunities for local communities. Taking this vision forward, Jaipur will host the prestigious IIFA 2025 (IIFA-25) on March 8 and 9, an event that will enhance Rajasthan’s presence in global tourism and cinema.

Its intriguing themes of reincarnation and mystery drew tourists, particularly from Bengal and other states, a trend that continues even today. Similarly, IIFA 2025 will put diverse tourism attractions of Rajasthan on the global stage which will further enhance its appeal.

Tourism Commissioner Mr. Vijay Pal Singh shared that the state government is introducing several initiatives to promote film tourism. These include:

• Dedicated film-shooting facilities at heritage sites

• Platforms to highlight local talent 

Mr. Singh mentioned that IIFA 2025 will not only benefit the film industry but will also boost local tourism, businesses, and cultural activities. Thousands of film enthusiasts, media professionals, and tourists are expected to visit Jaipur for the event, directly supporting hotels, restaurants, the handicraft sector, and transportation services.

New Delhi [India], December 10 : When it comes to skincare innovations, few products manage to strike the perfect balance between advanced science and effective results. The e’clat Eternal Bright Glutathione Serum, curated by the renowned e’clat Skin Institute, is one such example. This science backed product harnesses the power of nature’s finest brightening agents, and CEO of e’clat Skin Institute Mr. Deepank Gupta delves into its remarkable benefits for achieving radiant, even-toned skin.

What’s the Science behind Glutathione?

At the heart of this most trending skincare ingredient is Glutathione, a powerful antioxidant naturally present in our bodies. Its primary role is to protect cells from oxidative stress while regulating melanin production—the pigment responsible for skin tone. Applied topically, glutathione offers targeted benefits:

• Brightening the skin by inhibiting excess melanin synthesis.
• Delivering a radiant, youthful glow through cellular repair.
• Reducing dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

The Unique Blend of Ingredients in Eternal Bright

The brilliance of this product lies in its formulation. The e’clat Skin Institute has combined glutathione with scientifically validated ingredients to deliver superior results:

1. Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid):

A renowned antioxidant that reduces dullness and boosts collagen production.

Protects against free radicals and enhances skin brightness.

2. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3):

Balances oil production and minimizes pore appearance.

Strengthens the skin barrier, making it resilient to environmental damage.

3. Alpha Arbutin:

A natural brightening agent derived from plants, known for reducing melanin synthesis.

Gently fades spots, scars, and discoloration without irritation.

4. Hydrating Carriers and Penetrative Technology:

Ensures the serum penetrates deeply into the skin layers, delivering active ingredients exactly where they’re needed.

What Makes This Product a Game-Changer?

According to Mr. Deepank Gupta, the serum and cream aren’t just about superficial improvements—they work on a deeper level to address multiple skin concerns. Whether it’s uneven texture, discoloration, or loss of elasticity, this duo tackles it all.

• Fades Stubborn Pigmentation: Glutathione and alpha Arbutin reduce melanin activity to fade dark spots and brighten overall skin tone.
• Improves Skin Texture: Vitamin C and niacinamide repair and rejuvenate the skin, giving it a smoother and healthier appearance.
• Protects Against Future Damage: The antioxidant properties safeguard the skin from environmental aggressors like pollution and UV rays.

Why Trust the Expertise of e’clat Skin Institute?

As pioneers in advanced skincare formulations, the e’clat Skin Institute is committed to creating products backed by science. The Eternal Bright Glutathione Serum exemplifies this mission, combining potent natural ingredients with clinical-grade precision.

Affordable Skincare, Unmatched Quality

The Eternal Bright Glutathione Serum offers a luxurious skincare experience at an affordable price. At just ₹795 for 50 ml, it’s accessible through Amazon, Flipkart, and Myntra—making it easier than ever to embrace radiant skin.

How to Use E’clat Eternal Bright Glutathione Serum for Best Results
To maximize its effectiveness, Mr. Deepank Gupta recommends the following regimen:

• Cleanse Thoroughly: Start with a clean face to remove dirt and oil.
• Apply the Serum: Dispense 2-3 drops onto your palms and gently massage into your face and neck.
• Follow with the Cream: Seal in the serum’s active ingredients with a thin layer of cream.
• Sun Protection is a Must: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day to shield your skin from UV damage.

For optimal results, use this skincare duo twice daily.

How Does Science Back Its Claims?
Clinical studies on the active ingredients show significant improvements with consistent use:

A visible reduction in pigmentation and dark spots within 8-12 weeks.
Enhanced skin elasticity and smoothness.
A brighter complexion with diminished dullness.

Final Thoughts from Mr. Deepank Gupta

Skincare expert Mr. Deepank Gupta emphasizes the unique appeal of the Eternal Bright line: “This isn’t just another product on the shelf. It’s a scientifically validated, result-driven solution for anyone seeking to transform their skin.

Reflecting on his participation in the event, Ranbir Kapoor shared, “Stepping onto the runway in the BAARAAT collection was an exhilarating experience, celebrating the fusion of tradition and modern flair! Today’s grooms are more than just part of the ceremony; they are the heart of the story. This collection gave them the opportunity to express their individuality while honoring their roots. With its luxurious textures and bold silhouettes, it redefines menswear and ensures every groom’s journey is unforgettable!”

Gandhiji did many movements for independence. These include Satyagraha and Khilafat Movement, Salt Satyagraha, Dandi Yatra etc. Gandhiji adopted the principle of non-violence in the country's freedom struggle. He tried to increase harmony and unity between Hindu and Muslim communities.

After Independence

After India gained independence, Gandhiji worked with the Indian society for social and economic reform and promoted Hindu-Muslim unity. He inspired people to follow the path of truth, restraint and non-violence.

Simplicity is beauty

Gandhiji sacrificed everything in the freedom struggle. For him, a simple life was beauty. Gandhiji's life is also famous as a seeker. He lived simplicity, detachment, and connection with the soul as important concepts. Gandhi, who walked in a dhoti and spent his life in ashrams, became like a father to the Indians and people started calling him Bapu with love and respect.

Who called Mahatma Gandhi the Father of the Nation

The source of calling Mahatma Gandhi "Father of the Nation" was first given by Subhash Chandra Bose. Subhash Chandra Bose honored Gandhi by calling him "Father of the Nation" because he had made a significant contribution to the Indian freedom struggle and he was a prominent leader of the Indian freedom struggle. Since then, "Father of the Nation" has been commonly used in honor of Gandhi.

Apart from Bhagyashree, Mandar Chandwadkar who played the role of Bhide in Tarak Mehta serial and Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hai actor Salim Zaidi, actor Girish Thapar, Arohi Khan, Laxman Kumar, Sakshat Entertainment founder Ramkumar Pal, Mumbai Raftaar News editor Shailesh Patel were present. Rajinder Kumar received this honour for social service and helping students.

Rajinder Kumar says that a person should have the desire to serve in life, no matter in what way. He says that we want to help those students who are not able to go out for competition after doing CA or after completing their studies, so we want to help such students.

Rajinder Kumar says that a person should do the welfare of people with his own hands in his life. All the people born on this earth are a part of God. Every person should do human service in some form or the other while doing his work in his life.

He said, 'We should keep teaching spirituality and culture to our coming generation.

Rhea, who describes herself as a “TEDx Speaker | Actor” on her Instagram bio, was visibly emotional after her win. Reflecting on her journey, she told ANI, “Today I won the title of Miss Universe India 2024. I am so thankful. I have done so much work to get to this level where I can consider myself worthy enough for this crown. I am so inspired by the previous winners.” Her words echoed the immense dedication she poured into achieving this milestone.

Rhea wowed the audience and judges in multiple rounds. For the grand finale, she stunned in a shimmering peach-golden gown. In the swimsuit round, she dazzled in a metallic red bikini, and during the costume round, she made a bold cultural statement by carrying a Shivling, dressed in a striking white-red-yellow outfit with a veil.

The crown was placed on her head by none other than Miss Universe India 2015, Urvashi Rautela, who served as a judge at the event. The ‘Taj Mahal’ crown, a special symbol of India’s beauty and heritage, was a fitting prize for the new titleholder. Urvashi expressed her joy and confidence in India’s new contender, saying, “The winners are mind-blowing. I am hopeful that India will win the Miss Universe crown again this year.”

As Rhea prepares for the international stage, the nation will be watching closely, hoping she brings the Miss Universe crown home once again.

Birth rate is decreasing rapidly in India

You must be wondering why we are suddenly talking about the choice of becoming or not becoming a mother today. So it is because, in the last few years, the birth rate in our country has descreased rapidly. According to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in 2019-21 survey, the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) in India has come down from 2.2 children per woman to 2.0 children per woman.

This figure is less than the replacement rate of 2.1. The replacement rate is the birth rate in which the balance of birth and death remains and the population remains stable. If the birth rate of a country falls below the replacement rate, then the population there starts decreasing. The reason why in the last few years, questions are being raised on having fewer children in countries around the world including India. The women who decide not to become mothers are being questioned. The conservative section is also advocating for strict laws on abortion. As if the entire responsibility of running the earth and increasing the lineage lies only with women.

According to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the increasing screen time of children can emerge as a big problem in the coming times. This can increase the risk of many diseases.

According to a study published in the Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, the problem of dry eyes is increasing in children due to excessive screen viewing.

Recently, while hearing a case, the Bombay High Court had said, "Children's game addiction will prove to be like drug and narcotic addiction in the coming times. This can cause many damages to mental and physical health. Therefore, it is important that a law is brought on this." Overall, most of the indications are that the use of screen and mobile is not good for children. If it has anything to do with their studies, then it is necessary to set its limit and tell them about its healthy use and activities. Therefore, today in 'Sehatnama' we will know what effect the screen has on children. Also, we will understand that- What kind of problems are children facing due to this? What is a healthy screen time limit for children? What can be done to set time limits and boundaries? Before moving ahead in the article, let us know what problems technological development has created along with making our lives easier. Famous neurologist and psychiatrist Adam Gazzelli has written a book on this. Problems are increasing due to screen time

As the restrictions started to ease after the corona pandemic, all activities started returning to their old form. Meanwhile, everyone realized that their screen time had increased a lot. Since children were also dependent on screens for their studies during this time, this problem became even bigger for them.

Apart from studies, they started spending a long time with the screen, which is still continuing. Now its disadvantages have started to come to the fore.

Using the same toothbrush for a long time can lead to many problems.

People clean their teeth well with the help of a toothbrush, but do you know how long a toothbrush should last?

Usually people change a toothbrush in three to four months, but in some cases you should change it within one or two months.

If you use a toothbrush for a long time, bacteria accumulate on the brush and the risk of infection increases.

Using the same toothbrush for a long time increases the chances of the bristles getting damaged and the teeth start bleeding.

Due to bad bristles, the enamel of the teeth gets damaged and the gums start swelling. In such a situation, if the toothbrush starts looking bad, then you should change it within 2 months.

Whenever you buy a toothbrush, buy a toothbrush with soft or medium bristles. Choose the toothbrush according to the size of your mouth. If you are having problems with your teeth, then consult a dentist.
