It starts the same way every single year, in every single household across India. Someone — and there is always that one someone — drops a “Happy Navratri!” in the family group chat. Always with that same garba GIF. The pixelated one. The one that has been forwarded so many times it has lost whatever […]

Onam in 2026 will be more than a festival for many families. It will be a time of homecoming, happy noise, good food, and being with people who matter. That is what makes onam so special. It does not feel like a formal event. It feels warm, familiar, and close to the heart. A few […]

There is a woman in a Parsi neighbourhood in Mumbai who has been making the same green chutney every August for forty-three years. Same recipe. Same bowl. Same unhurried morning. Her grandchildren do not fully understand yet why she starts before sunrise, why she insists on fresh coconut even when the market is far, why […]

Sometime in late July, the mother sends a message in the family group. “Raksha Bandhan is coming, everyone makes plans.” The siblings, who haven’t properly spoken in two weeks, suddenly surface.

Here is something worth thinking about. The India that exists today — its shape on a map, its borders, the fact that it is one country and not forty or fifty fragmented territories — did not happen automatically. It did not follow naturally from independence. In fact, in the weeks and months after August 1947, […]

In India, the union budget isn’t followed only by policy watchers. It’s followed by people who want to understand the year ahead in simple terms—what might change for taxes, what might affect prices, and what direction the government seems to be taking. With budget 2026 close, the usual curiosity is already there: the date, the […]

We celebrate International Women’s Day every year in March. But if we are being truly honest, women don’t need “Happy Women’s Day” forwards or wishes.
