Farewell to a Fashion Titan.

The fashion world bids farewell to Valentino Garavani, the Italian maestro who defined timeless elegance and helped to make couture an expression of high culture.

His creations were not just clothes — designed for women like First Lady Jackie Kennedy, Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, Marie-Chantal, Crown Princess of Greece and Princess Madeleine of Sweden, they became icons of style and history.

Valentino’s influence spanned generations and genres. Hollywood stars like Jennifer Lopez, Courteney Cox, Sophie Hunter, Halle Berry, Cate Blanchett, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Anne Hathaway graced red carpets in his designs. Royal icons like Princess Diana and legendary actresses such as Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn were among those captivated by his vision.

His artistry reached across continents, and was embraced by stars like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan at Cannes and Priyanka Chopra Jonas at the Met Gala, while Indian icons like Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor, and Isha Ambani — in a bespoke Valentino lehenga — continued to celebrate his legacy long after he retired.

For over six decades, Valentino didn’t just dress icons — he crafted moments that became immortal.

RIP, Valentino Garavani.

From Persian Courts to the Modern World’s Tables.

Butter garlic naan didn’t start as a trend. Its name comes from Persian, its journey passed through Mughal kitchens, it was refined in Indian tandoors — and now it’s crowned by TasteAtlas 2025 as one of the world’s top breads.

For decades, India has found global recognition through GI-tagged crafts, Bollywood, festivals, chefs, and restaurants. Now, an Indian bread joins that family — familiar, comforting, unmistakably desi.

From royal kitchens to restaurant menus worldwide, this isn’t just food getting recognition. It’s Indian culture, travelling — and winning — bite by bite.

Indian Roots. Global Courts.

Today, Indian-origin representation is visible globally among CEOs, doctors, scientists, and actors. Now, it’s on the world’s important sporting fields, too. Sonia Raman, the first person of Indian origin to become a WNBA head coach, is now coaching the Seattle Storm.

Raman’s rise proves that representation isn’t symbolic — it’s earned.

Maleesha Kharwa’s Cinderella dream.

Maleesha Kharwa, 12, stepped into a world far removed from the narrow lanes of Mumbai’s Dharavi slum, where she grew up. Six years later, aged 18, she stands transformed — an entrepreneur, a philanthropist, and a living example of what sustained opportunity can create.

In late 2025, on the threshold of adulthood, Maleesha launched her luxury lifestyle brand Maleesha by Maleesha Kharwa, turning personal success into collective upliftment. Part of the brand’s proceeds support children in her community through educational supplies, while her upcoming platform Maleesha People aims to help underprivileged youth globally through storytelling and financial assistance.

A prominent face in fashion — visible on the covers of Vogue, Cosmopolitan, and The Peacock, and leading Forest Essentials’ Yuvati collection — she continues to prioritise education, family, and responsibility. Moving her family into a permanent home and clearing long-standing debts, she has remained grounded as her career soared. Stories like Maleesha’s remind us of something simple yet powerful — humanity still exists.

Have faith. Keep helping.

From TCS to Amazon, mass layoffs are increasing worldwide. Nearly 100,000 employees across the globe lost their jobs in 2025. The H-1B visa fee hike and aggressive artificial intelligence adoption are adding to the volatility in the job market.

Overtime isn’t just India’s problem—it’s a global issue. From tech parks in Bengaluru to corporate offices in New York, employees are struggling. Extended hours aren’t just stealing evenings—they’re fueling stress, obesity, anxiety, and frustration that affect personal life.

But here’s the truth: when companies respect work-life balance, they don’t lose productivity—they gain it. Healthy, rested employees create better results, stronger teams, and long-term success. It’s win-win. Let’s reevaluate what success means—for employees, employers, and multinational companies.

India’s gig and contract economy is booming. It generated ₹48,000 crore in contributions to GST and social security last year. But behind the numbers lies a harsh truth: No paid leave. No health cover. No job security. Just survival.

Millions, especially women, are trapped in low-paying, precarious roles, and outdated laws and inaccessible courts offer little hope. As corporate profits hit record highs, the people building that success are still denied basic dignity.

India’s progress stories highlight major gains — including 270 million people lifted out of extreme poverty. But for many Indian-Americans watching from abroad, the lived reality tells a different story. This video questions the gap between data and daily struggle, challenging the narrative of progress.

Five years after the Delhi 2020 riots, a new investigation exposes how justice has been delayed and denied. Of 695 police cases, most have ended in acquittals, with courts flagging fabricated evidence and systemic failures. Victims still wait for closure as institutions evade accountability.

Sport is a powerful unifier. From Nelson Mandela donning South Africa’s green rugby jersey in 1995 to unite a nation divided by the legacy of apartheid, to India’s Rohan Bopanna and Pakistan’s Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi launching the ‘Stop War, Start Tennis’ campaign—sport reliably rises above politics and prejudice.

But recent India–Pakistan cricket matches tell a different story.
The refusal to shake hands—once a simple gesture of respect—has now become a symbol of division.

If this becomes the new normal, what will future generations know of sportsmanship, respect, and unity?

More Than a Local Tragedy—It’s a Global Warning!

In India, cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Prayagraj, and Varanasi were submerged by rising waters. Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir faced landslides and flash floods. However, the disaster wasn’t just India’s: cities like Jakarta have been crippled by overflowing rivers; flash floods have flattened towns in Bali; and China’s Hebei and regions around Beijing have evacuated thousands as rivers breached embankments.

As citizens and travelers, we must tread lightly, respect ecosystems, and demand sustainable practices. Governments must prioritize climate resilience and enforce stronger protections for forests, rivers, and glaciers.

Yoga is India’s timeless gift to the world, a valuable legacy in public health rooted in Maharishi Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and carried froward by modern thinkers and practitioners like Swami Vivekananda, who took it to Chicago in 1893, and Krishnamacharya and Iyengar in the 20th century.

Women—who contribute the least to global warming—are suffering its worst effects, and their voices remain largely unheard. Rising temperatures, scarce water, and crop failures disproportionately affect women, particularly those responsible for feeding their families. Food insecurity risks double for female farmers. Natural disasters increase the spread of diseases like malaria, dengue, and HIV. Women often fall prey to gender-based violence during and after crises.

Cinema holds up a mirror to society. Today, that mirror is cracking—youth are being misinformed and instead of building bridges, films are widening divides.
The result? Honest storytelling fades while one-sided films thrive.

Democracy is more than a vote.

It’s the freedom to question, to dream, to choose.

It’s the courage to believe your voice matters—even when you’re just one among millions.

But when voices are silenced and institutions lose independence, democracy begins to crumble.

Because democracy survives only when we, the people, choose to stand for it.

For over 70 years, USAID has been a quiet force behind India’s progress — helping build IITs, fight deadly diseases, expand clean energy, and transform education.

But today, that legacy is at risk. A potential shutdown threatens critical programs—from TB treatment and child immunizations to early learning support.

If USAID steps out, who will step in?
