The ballot machines are locked. The EVMs are in strongrooms under multi-layered security. 27.14 million voters have spoken — or at least 78.27% of them have — and now begins the cruellest month in democratic politics: the wait. Kerala voted on April 9, 2026. The results arrive on May 4....

They wear clothes 50 times before discarding. They care about price. The problem, SHEIN concludes, is lack of recycling infrastructure. Convenient. Very convenient. Because what the report...
In India, a marriage does not begin at the mandap. It begins long before — in stolen glances across a family gathering, in nervous WhatsApp messages, in the hopeful silence of a rishta meeting.
