Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 20: There was a time when becoming a producer was the industry equivalent of retirement planning. You acted, you aged gracefully (or not), you survived the studio system, and then—as a reward or a rebellion—you produced. That timeline has been quietly cremated. Today’s actors aren’t waiting for the grey hair or the honorary applause. They’re stepping into production offices while their faces are still on billboards. Not because it’s fashionable. Because it’s survival. Because control has become the real currency. And because, frankly, the system taught them what not owning your work feels like. This isn’t…
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 20: There was a time—not ancient history, just recent enough to sting—when music became something you rented from the cloud. Ten dollars a month, infinite choice, zero ownership. Songs slipped in and out of libraries without warning, albums dissolved into playlists, and liner notes became a forgotten art form, like cursive handwriting or patience. And yet, somewhere between algorithm fatigue and emotional burnout, listeners began doing something unfashionable. They started buying music again. Not clicking save. Buying. Vinyl records. Deluxe box sets. Signed CDs. Cassette reissues. Photobooks are heavy enough to double as self-defence weapons. The…

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 20: IGP, a global D2C multi-category gifting platform, has rolled out a new festive feature, ‘Find My Santa’, an in-house Secret Santa generator built to take the clutter and confusion out of holiday gifting.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 20: For years, K-pop behaved like a carefully guarded monarchy. Power, capital, talent pipelines, and global visibility revolved around a few entrenched empires. If you weren’t born inside the walls, your odds of ruling the world stage were… theoretical. That structure is now quietly cracking. Not collapsing. Not burning. Just losing its inevitability. The next phase of K-pop isn’t about dethroning the giants. It’s about proving that the throne itself was never the only seat of power. Newer groups—often from smaller agencies, hybrid collectives, or digitally native systems—are breaking through internationally without waiting for validation from…

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], December 20: A 31-year-old cybersecurity professional from Ahmedabad, like many young office workers across the country, spent most of his day on a chair, back-to-back meetings, deadlines, and a lifestyle that allowed everything except movement. What began as a mild ache slowly grew into a silent burden, until one morning his body refused to straighten. He arrived at IndoSpine Hospital bent forward, struggling to walk, frightened that his professional life and financial stability were at risk because his spine could no longer support him. His story is not an exception; it is a growing socio-economic reality. India’s…
