India is the second-largest market for jewellery, after China. Indian men are buying more jewellery than ever, and luxury brands are happy to shower them with options.

When Dior, Chanel, Balenciaga etc collaborated with Nazis in WWII, survival had a bloodier meaning than quarterly profits, TRPs, or year-on-year growth.

In 'Main Pal Do Pal Ka Shaayar Hun', which opens this year's theatre festival of the National School of Drama, actor-playwright-director Danish Husain gives Sahir Ludhianvi-the man an edge over Sahir-the poet.

This cascade of attention around Poonam Pandey's death only irks us because 'we' the smart ones, the know-it-all denizens of the digital universe are brought to face our fallibility. We are very easy to fool. And when we are fooled, we don't like it.

I am compelled to write this essay in a deeply subjective tone and tenor. Only because an honourable minister chose to share her "personal views" as a "menstruating woman", I'm responding to the said views as another "menstruating woman".

In a city where everybody's father is somebody, eliminating the culture of entitlement is a battle that cannot be fought and won at once.

It's done. Ram Lalla is in Ayodhya, all is well with the world. Or is it? Has Ram Rajya really come to India? If the government of the day is to be believed for government is an honest institution, it indeed has.

Most media reports, both in Moitra's favour and against her, have followed the same template - 'The Lurid Love Life of Mahua Moitra'. It does not matter.

Those who have spared a breath or more on the rank misogyny of Ranbir Kapoor's Animal - which is predictably a blockbuster - must watch Anatomy.

I may or may not have unleashed the drunk sailor in me on Sunday. I'm not proud of it but blame it on my accident of birth. I'm an Indian and I cannot keep calm. Especially when there is a cricket match on.

Who would have thought, however, that even talking about sex would engender power play in India's political stadium where there are more misses than hits?

All animals are equal but some are more equal than others. Henry is that extraordinary beast who may go down in history for causing one of the most lurid political scandals of our times.

Fashion ought to take one's breath away with its possibilities of innovation and reformation. It doesn't need the crutch of celebrity showstoppers and reels.

The Bhagavad Gita offers the government of India that is Bharat the perfect advice to tackle its Canada problem.

The Uniform Civil Code is hot on the government agenda and in keeping with the spirit, a new Uniform Sartorial Code for the parliamentary staff has been announced.
