New Delhi [India], January 19: Something unusual is happening in New Delhi this January. The people who run elections worldwide are coming to compare notes. And India is hosting. From January 21 to 23, the Election Commission of India will host the inaugural India International Conference on Democracy and Election Management, IICDEM 2026, at Bharat Mandapam. Three days that quietly say a lot about where India now stands. IICDEM 2026 is not being pitched as another glossy international meet. It’s being built as the largest global conference India has hosted on democracy and election management, yes, but the emphasis is…

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 19: For all the noise around pan-India blockbusters, global streamers, and “content universes,” the most telling television moment of the season didn’t come from a glossy OTT launch. It came from a familiar living room ritual. Families paused dinners. Phones lit up with WhatsApp forwards. Twitter (sorry—X) rediscovered its Kannada vocabulary. Bigg Boss Kannada 12 ended, and Gilli Nata walked away with the trophy, prize money, and a shiny new car—while the real winner, once again, was regional reality television itself. The finale, hosted by the ever-commanding Kichcha Sudeep, wasn’t just a victory lap for a…

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 17: Read a few writings of Kafka and you will notice something under your shoes; and this ground that you are standing upon, it would seem to collapse into an abyss of absurdist thoughts, thoughts that seek purpose, thoughts that would make you crawl under the bed and force you to die, a strange sense of metamorphosis, the one that woke Buddha up into a night and convinced him to leave his home and wife and children behind. When you discover something different from the sense of reality of other people; you are most prone to…
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 17: There’s a peculiar moment in every long rivalry when imitation stops feeling embarrassing and starts feeling… inevitable. Samsung’s latest camera tweaks land squarely in that zone. Not revolutionary. Not headline-screaming. Just quietly competent, suspiciously familiar, and perhaps a little overdue.
