In a sonic tapestry that defies convention and reveres the primal, two of India’s most iconic rhythm maestros—Bickram Ghosh and Taufiq Qureshi—come together in Dum, a breathtaking track that beats not just to time, but to the heart. At once experimental and evocative, Dum is a celebration of rhythm in its purest form. What sets it apart? The piece is entirely a cappella—no instruments, no loops, no distractions. Just the power of the human voice, layered with body percussion, tapping into an ancient, almost tribal resonance that bridges continents and cultures. From chest thumps to palm strikes, from vocal basslines to breathy pulses, Dum becomes a living organism of sound—composed with precision, performed with passion. The arrangements of the sounds ( by the two maestros themselves)are a...

Mandated by the government, the digital toll collection system was aimed at reducing traffic congestion, saving fuel, and promoting seamless travel.

These updates are expected to reduce user frustration, enhance compliance, and make highway travel far more efficient for the everyday commuter.Let’s take a closer look at what’s changed, how it impacts you as a user, and how to stay on top of your FASTag balance and FASTag r...

From glass skin routines to heatless curl hacks, viral beauty trends dominate social media—and Natalie King has seen (and tried) them all. As an online model and influencer who lives at the intersection of style, skincare, and content creation, Natalie is no stranger to experimenting.

Biodiversity is the realm of all things living - plants, animals, micro-organisms and their interactions with each other. It includes ecosystem, species and genetic diversity. It’s crucial because eventually it provides us with all things we need - right from the food we eat to the shelters we need. Biodiversity is in fact the pool for medicines, clean air, clothing fibers, biofuels and countless other things that elevate our quality of life. Their importance is such that in absence of biodiversity, no life can be imagined. It’s important for the sustenance of our planet and us as well. It also helps to fight environmental risks like pollution, climate change and natural disasters. Its presence has an impact on every aspect of life on our planet, even on agriculture. Agriculture has its ow...

Tikitoro, a trusted pioneer in personal care for kids (4-10 yrs) and teens (11 - 16 years), is proud to launch its newest innovation—Tikitoro Teens Deo Mist Aqua, a skin-smart deodorant spray crafted especially for growing teens. While sweat is totally natural, body odour often comes from bacterial build-up—and simply covering it with perfume or harsh deodorants doesn’t help. In fact, many conventional deos are packed with alcohol, aluminium, and silicones that irritate skin and throw off its balance. What’s more, repeatedly rubbing a deo stick onto the skin—especially post-sweat—can actually transfer bacteria, sweat, and skin cells back onto the product. Over time, this creates a microscopic playground for microbes to grow, making the stick far less hygienic than you’d think. Not to menti...

Thank you for the musicI recently came across the word ‘Frisson’ in the context of music. It refers to the physical sensation of a shiver or goosebumps accompanied by a strong emotional response, triggered by a particularly moving or captivating musical passage. I hadn’t realized that this feeling required a distinction apart from being human; that everyone didn’t get teary eyed at the sound of specific chord progressions or deeply personal lyrics. Google to the rescue and I am informed that only a percentage of people respond physiologically to the stimulus of music. On 17th May, in Mahalaxmi Racecourse, twenty-six thousand people experienced collective frisson in sweaty, nostalgic abandon at the Guns n Roses concert. It had rained earlier that day, offering some respite from Mumbai’s opp...
