    World Earth Day

    World Earth Day, observed annually on 22 April, is one of the largest global environmental initiatives aimed at protecting the planet. Introduced in 1970, Earth Day has since grown into an impactful movement aimed at raising awareness about various ecological issues, including pollution, global warming, deforestation, and loss of biodiversity. Through Earth Day, governments, organisations, and individuals are encouraged to adopt sustainable living and safeguard the planet for future generations.

  5. Day in a City

    Twinning in Hyderabad

    Hyderabad is best experienced in fragments — a temple atop a granite hill at sunrise, museums filled with curiosities, the bustle of Charminar at dusk, and an evening beside Hussain Sagar. Spend a day among bazaars, hills and palaces, and the twin cities begin to make sense.

    Rise of the Well Groomed Man

    If you thought it was only women who cared about their thinning hair and dark circles, you are mistaken. Men are the new growing market in the world of cosmetic medicine, and definitely not shying away from botox, fillers, laser treatment and the likes.
