In a country obsessed with speed, scale, and square footage, it took one industrialist’s quiet walk through a quiet village to make the nation look up—and slow down. Anand Mahindra didn’t visit Kadamakkudy with a project proposal, a factory blueprint, or a CSR banner flapping in the wind. He came...
Something is seriously wrong in India’s aviation sector—and the silence is louder than jet engines. For the last two days, thousands of passengers across Indian airports have been stranded, exhausted, angry, and abandoned. Over 1,000 flights reportedly cancelled or disrupted, both domestic and international. People sleeping on airport floors. Families...
If travel were judged by how much life you see per rupee, Canada’s coast-to-coast train would beat business class flights into submission. For $558 (approx ₹46,000 INR), you don’t just go from Point A to Point B. You live inside the country for five days. No security lines. No lost...
Fast fashion sold us a lie: “If you want performance, you must wear plastic.” We swallowed that lie for years — polyester leggings that suffocate the skin, nylon sports bras that stink after one workout, synthetic underwear that feels like wearing cling-film all day.

Let’s be honest — Indian roads aren’t for the faint-hearted or the logic-driven. Between the cow crossings, potholes the size of swimming pools, and autos that appear out of thin air, our daily commute often feels like an obstacle course designed by the universe to test patience. Now imagine your...
They pull up at the signal, rev the engine like it’s a gunshot, and stare at you through a cracked Ray-Ban knockoff — the new breed of pseudo-gangsters. Their rides? Ten-to-fifteen-year-old luxury cars bought for the price of a second-hand Maruti, mostly imported from flood-hit states or sold off by...
The Fire That Shook the South A Volvo bus engulfed in flames. More than twenty lives lost. Families waiting for calls that will never come. Another sleepless night on India’s highways turns into a nightmare written in fire. We’ve seen this movie too many times — on the Bangalore–Hyderabad route,...
(A Nishani Original) There was a time when time was the most precious thing on earth. Now, it’s privacy. You can lose money and make it back. You can lose time and still find peace. But once you lose privacy — you lose control over who you are. The Irony...
