SOCIETY by Aparajita Jaiswal Why is being Real underrated? 16 July 2021 SOCIETY Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Contemporary times arranged our lives and turned it to be a lot easier, organised and captivated. Many of us have an impeccable life in real life but people leading a different life are expected to always look good on parade which intentionally leads to deceiving their own conscience. Having an engaged and often organised life is charming, in today’s times. Nevertheless, all of us can’t possess the same thing. Neither we need to be pretentious of the reality, we are trying really hard to settle in. Every day when we wake up, we have a gruelling fight to win. Life throws uncountable targets on us either professional, emotional, or may be related to our family or relationships. And the majority of us work hard with both our body and soul to accomplish those targets. At times our own high standards become unreachable. Yet every day teaches us a lesson. Wise men learn, move on and never look back because we are neither competing with others nor are we a part of any race, organised by the society, being its Jury. Remember! When babies are born, they are born with their own blessings and short-comings. And since then, we have been building a life of our own. We succeed, we fail, we learn, we let go but we grow because There are no failures, only outcomes, as long as I learn Something, I am succeeding. We all encounter many hassles in life with respect to mental and physical health, appearances, standards of living, comparative status or more but at the very least we should cherish that we are learning and succeeding. A long life is awaited… Start your journey with the hard work you expose. You shall reap what you ought to sow. Pull off the unreal mask you have on your face. Show to the world, true warriors are you, in the race.! It’s about time when individuals shall learn to embrace the scars they are born with or have earned in the journey to reach where they are right now. My two cents here, we should at the minimum spare a minute to understand the beauty of individuals we are moving along, of the people we vicariously live through and of the people we are inspired from. Potentially then we can see right through their perfect personality, the scars they are embracing to be Strong, Fierce, Smart, Gracious, Live, Empathetic and Charming. Every individual has built a historical personality from their lives which was inevitably arduous and exceptionally perfect. And, we are able to build an exceptionally impeccable life because we never underrated our reality of being perfect in our imperfections, strong in our failures, real in this very unreal underrated world. “Don’t look back to what others have, Build your own unique real self. Perfections are underrated, Impeccable is the journey you live in.” SEARCH Why India is the most depressed country in the world?

By Shriniwas Kodape Breeze By Lebua State Tower: Duck Skin, Oolong, And The Distance Between Who You Are And Who You Were 9 September 2025 FOOD Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement I wasn’t looking for redemption. I just wanted to regale. Bangkok had been loud all day—sticky heat, tuk-tuks coughing up diesel prayers, and that electric chaos of a megacity that never completely lets you be alone. So when the elevator at Lebua opened onto the 52nd floor, and the night air slapped my face clean, I felt something close to stillness. The kind of stillness that usually comes right before something unforgettable—or tragic. And that’s when I saw it. A skybridge glowing violet, like a spinal cord to the stars. No signage. No shouting. Just the quiet confidence of a place that knows it doesn’t need to scream. Breeze by Lebua, perched in the clouds, is a temple to Chinese cuisine—bold, meticulous, and rooted more in memory than in trend. It isn’t just a dining spot. It’s a floating cathedral of soy, smoke, silence, and second chances. The first revelation came in the form of a salad. Not the limp, guilt-ridden afterthought of Western menus. No. This was Duck Salad—pomelo pearls gleaming like citrus caviar, crisp duck skin cracking under your chopsticks, plum sauce sweet but not syrupy, bitter greens and toasted pine nuts woven together like a quiet overture. It wasn’t a starter. It was a handshake from the chef. A challenge: “Are you ready for what’s coming?” And to wash it down? Bollinger Special Cuvée—lively and rich, like a polite punch to the throat. It cleared the palate and the mind in one swig. The duck didn’t stand a chance. I barely had time to reflect before the second act began. They asked if I wanted the Wok-Seared River Prawn in oolong soy or the steamed Tia Mara oyster with chili vermicelli. I looked at the waiter and said, “Why choose?” He didn’t blink. Just nodded and vanished. https://video.wixstatic.com/video/08ff15_443504bd4f23468081661f95521300c3/720p/mp4/file.mp4 The Wok-Seared River Prawn arrived first—sizzling, lacquered in oolong, touched with young ginger and the kind of tea leaf you imagine monks hiding in mountaintop caves. It tasted like earth and elegance. Crisp edges, tender body, sauce like a slow-spoken poem. Paired with a clean, mineral Vermentino, it whispered of restraint. Of fire used wisely. Then came the oyster—a monster, bathed in fermented Hunan chili and tangled in glassy vermicelli. One bite and the heat unfurled, slow and sultry. It didn’t scream—it seduced. It left a burn in the throat and a smile on my face. A dish that doesn’t beg for approval. It assumes it. I was ready to tap out. But Breeze by Lebua was just getting warmed up. The steamed ruby fish came next. No fancy tricks. No drama. Just soft flesh, steamed to the edge of breaking, cloaked in black bean and white sesame, with a pickled chili sauce that teased rather than tortured. This was classic Chinese cuisine—filtered through a modern lens. Minimal. Precise. And paired with Chablis Premier Cru, it was silk meeting steel. Then the main course landed like a full stop. They offered me two options again: Wagyu beef with mui choy or charcoal-grilled lamb rack with XO sauce and ginger-scallion fried rice. I went with the lamb. Something about the smoke in the air told me it was the right call. The meat came blistered, nearly black at the edges, dripping with XO, black garlic, and unapologetic indulgence. It tasted like someone grilled heaven over hardwood. Fried rice? Fragrant with ginger, scallion oil glistening like streetlights on wet pavement. The whole plate buzzed with energy. It asked you to lean in. I took a sip of Silver Oak Cabernet, and suddenly, the night made sense. But then came the wagyu. (Yes, I had both. You knew that.) Marbled cubes of beef, sticky with soy, surrounded by trumpet mushrooms and bitter preserved greens. This wasn’t beef. This was memory foam for the soul. It didn’t demand your attention. It deserved it. By this point, Bangkok shimmered below like a wet painting. The wine was down to its last drops. I leaned back in the chair—full, foolish, and ready to call it a night. But Breeze by Lebua had one more card to play. Chocolate Banana. Sounds like a punchline. It wasn’t. Chocolate parfait, sable biscuit, banana caramel, banana ice cream, vanilla ganache—each element more indulgent than the last. But instead of overwhelming, it all came together in harmony. A soft, playful coda to a hard-hitting symphony. It wasn’t just dessert. It was forgiveness. For the city. For the heat. For the oyster I devoured too fast. For the version of myself that eats to forget. A final sip of 10-Year Tawny Port—warm and nutty—sealed the deal. https://video.wixstatic.com/video/08ff15_149f40d9c1524723a2b005a0794eaa03/720p/mp4/file.mp4 I sat there in the quiet, chewing the skyline, sipping the last of something I didn’t earn, and thinking: This is why we go out. Not for calories. Not even for flavors. But for the feeling that somewhere out there, someone still gives a damn about doing it right. And when they do? The sky eats first. But you’re lucky enough to follow.

Books and Beyond with Bound and Tara Khandelwal, founder of Bound by Aparajita Jaiswal Books and Beyond with Bound and Tara Khandelwal, founder of Bound 5 July 2022 COVER STORIES Advertisement While pursuing her passion for books, in a freewheel chat with Aparajita Jaiswal, Tara Khandelwal shares her journey in building Bound from scratch through podcasts with famous authors on “Books and Beyond with Bound.” An ambition young woman with much to bring to the world, Tara Khandelwal has created a world of proximity between writers, readers and authors, leading to a sanctuary for the literary arts. Bookworm, Tara Khandelwal, an editor and writer, is a graduate of Barnard College, Columbia University and the Columbia Publishing Course. She has worked with organizations like Penguin, BloombergQuint and SheThePeople.TV . Although, her most prized achievement is as a founder of Bound which provides skill building for creativity through writers’ retreats, workshops, writing coaching and editorial services. Tara, alongside her co-founder, Michelle D’costa, has created a podcast called ‘Books and Beyond with Bound’. On this podcast, the ambitious and perspicacious Tara Khandelwal and Michelle D’costa speak to India’s most profound contemporary writers like Manu Pillai, Lisa Ray, Avni Doshi and more, providing voracious readers insights into their favourite authors’ lives. Across international waters, many countries provide various resources for aspiring writers like writing retreats, writing courses, coaching and many more. Tara envisioned something similar and brought it home to India and created similar resources through Bound. “There was an emerging literary culture and people interested in the art of literature but education for the literary arts was international so I decided to plug that cap and started my journey through writer’s retreats, one of the first in India. This was to provide aspiring writers with quality and affordable education.” Her motive was to bridge the gap between readers and their favorite authors and also to provide authors with a platform to engage in teaching what they have procured from this field. After a couple of retreats, bound took to also teaching in various cities like Mumbai and Pune, online and in-person. They teach creative writing for fiction and poetry through meditative writing, screenwriting and various others, their mandate being skill building for creatives. To that end, Bound also provides editorial and mentoring services, enabling authors and writers to work on their projects on a one on one basis. The podcasts, books and beyond with bound, is an attempt to bring readers and writers closer to the authors they love and admire. “It was a dream project for us,” she says. They are almost done with their first season and are definitely going to begin recording their second season. “I wish there were more readers for all the writers out there. That’s one thing I’d like to change about the world.” Tara Khandelwal “Every author that I have worked with I admire for their strong and stellar work ethic.” When asked if as a kid she admired a particular author that encouraged her to pursue a career in this field Tara immediately replied with Enid Blyton. “I was four or five when I first started reading and I started with Enid Blyton. I remember being mind blown when I read my first book, The Secret Island. I didn’t understand the joy of reading at that age but I kept reading and reading from there on forward.” “Every part of my job is challenging but equally fulfilling but the most challenging part is innovating and finding new ways to grow.” Tara says that finding new ways to grow and starting new projects is always challenging but also scary as you never know what is going to happen. “Keeping up motivation is challenging,” she says. “I perceive success as hard work and pushing oneself out of their comfort zone. It is when you know you’re not being complacent and always striving for the next step. For me success would be setting new goals and working to achieve it and having a mentality to achieve resilience.” Tara Khandelwal Besides writing Tara also enjoys yoga as she likes to work out and keep fit and healthy. She also enjoys learning various things. In her free time she does classes and learns about new things and passing her time reading. When asked if she would ever write a book of her own after working to edit other authors’ work she says, “Never say never as never is not in my vocab.” So here’s hoping she does write a book with her profound skill set. Tara Khandelwal has also worked as an editor for Writers’ Side, the biggest literary agency in India, Hachette, Rupa and UK-based Eyewear Publishing, among many others all together. #TaraTaraKhandelwalBooksBooksandbeyondBoundWritersReadersAuthorsLiterary SEARCH A Journey Shaped By Courage, Creativity, And Social Media With Aditi Sharma COVER STORIES Inner Joy Trails My Inspiration : A Candid Conversation With The Creative Anushka Kaushik COVER STORIES Barkha Singh’s candid candour makes the way to an eye-catching interview COVER STORIES Educate, Empower, Excel: Priyanka Chahar Choudhary's Inspirational Overture COVER STORIES Waluscha De Sousa On Being Her ‘True Self’ And Going On The Dream Journey COVER STORIES POPULAR POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement By Sakshi Shah The Many Chapters Of Lekha Prajapati, From Performer To Storyteller 6 July 2026 COVER STORIES By Sakshi Shah Across Languages, One Voice: Sheena Chohan 1 April 2026 COVER STORIES By Sakshi Shah Mananveer Singh On Making Music That Feels Natural And Real 24 March 2026 COVER STORIES By Sakshi Shah Falak Khan On Acting, Identity, And Letting Her Work Speak For Itself 9 March 2026 COVER STORIES RELATED POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement

Mananveer Singh On Making Music That Feels Natural And Real By Sakshi Shah Mananveer Singh On Making Music That Feels Natural And Real 24 March 2026 COVER STORIES Advertisement In an industry where authenticity often competes with trends, Mananveer Singh carves his own space with quiet confidence and intention. His music does not follow formulas; it reflects lived experiences, emotions, and a deeply personal understanding of sound that has evolved over time. Growing up, his life unfolded differently from most. Sent to boarding school at the age of 12, he learned early on how to navigate the world independently. Without the comfort of constant guidance, he developed resilience through experience, absorbing lessons from diverse environments and perspectives. These formative years shaped not just his personality, but also the emotional depth that defines his music today. His introduction to music as a serious pursuit came unexpectedly. During a school co-curricular activity, a fellow student overheard him singing and encouraged him to perform in front of everyone. Standing before hundreds of students, what could have been an intimidating moment turned into a defining one. The applause he received left a lasting impact, giving him a sense of clarity he had never felt before. It was then that he recognised music as more than a talent; it was something he wanted to dedicate his life to. Committed to honing his craft, he pursued formal training in both Hindustani and Western classical music. This foundation not only strengthened his technical abilities but also gave him the freedom to experiment across styles. With a clear vision, he moved to Mumbai, navigating the industry without prior connections. The journey came with its share of challenges, but each experience led him closer to finding the right people and creative space that now supports his growth. What sets Mananveer apart is his ability to blend Punjabi influences with contemporary global sounds in a way that feels natural and unforced. His music is rooted in authenticity, often drawing from real-life emotions rather than constructed narratives. For him, the melody is always the starting point, shaping the mood and emotional direction of a song. The lyrics follow organically, becoming an extension of what the music already expresses. His influences reflect both range and depth, from the intricate compositions of A. R. Rahman to the effortless vocal expression of Sonu Nigam, alongside the cultural resonance of Diljit Dosanjh and the timeless power of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. These inspirations have helped shape a sound that feels both rooted and contemporary. Tracks like Desire showcase his artistic sensibility, bringing together Punjabi authenticity with global sonic elements. The song stands as a reflection of his instinctive approach to music creation, where experimentation meets emotional honesty. Away from music, he brings the same sense of passion to his personal interests. A dedicated sports enthusiast, he enjoys football, cricket, badminton, and swimming. Travel also plays an important role in his life, particularly solo journeys that offer him new perspectives and moments of introspection. These experiences often find their way back into his music, adding layers to his storytelling. The rise of digital platforms has further expanded his reach, allowing his work to connect with audiences across geographies. While social media has opened doors, his focus remains firmly on creating music with meaning rather than chasing fleeting visibility. One of the most memorable moments of his journey so far came during his first performance of 2026 in his hometown. What began as a scattered gathering soon transformed into a crowd of thousands, drawn in by the energy of his performance. The connection he felt with the audience that day, along with the recognition he received, became a milestone he continues to carry with him. For those discovering his music, songs like Desire , Drip , Vajde Salute , No Regrets , and Yaar Tera Ni offer a strong introduction to his world. Each track captures a different aspect of his identity, both as an artist and as an individual. Looking ahead, Mananveer Singh is entering an exciting phase of his career - with new collaborations, an upcoming EP, and a series of Punjabi fusion projects influenced by global sounds. As he continues to evolve, his commitment to authenticity remains unchanged. In a landscape that often rewards repetition, Mananveer chooses originality. His journey is not just about making music, but about creating something that feels honest, personal, and lasting.

CHOICE Transports The Spectators Back To The Retro 70s Charm The 70s were calling, and CHOICE ’s showcase was nothing short of a time capsule… but with a hint of novelty that made it stand apart from the crowd. The designs borrowed from the perennial taste and subtle glam of the decade. The pieces featured fabrics ranging from natural and lightweight cotton and linens to the more luxurious chiffon, silks, tweed and colour palettes that went from white and black to dessert-inspired hues.

The pieces featured skirts and dresses with accentuating waists, asymmetric drapes, dramatic designs and versatile trench coats, which truly captured the chic essence of the era that was the 70s! Riva Serves A Multitude Of Versatile Yet Classy Looks Riva ’s collection felt like a visual melancholy of colours, like the onset of spring against a sunset. It seamlessly paired timeless classic charm with a more contemporary sophistication on the side. The collection showcased flowy kaftans paired with enhancing silhouettes matching sets with versatile designs. All this design delicacy was complemented with intricate embroidery, shimmery accents and textured details. The collection was so flawlessly versatile that it could easily transition from an urban, out-and-about activity to a more intimate gathering; such was the range! Michael Cinco Closes The Day With A Royal Affair Imagine the kind of collection that would compel Miss Universe to donne a piece! Because that is precisely what ensued. Miss Universe 2024, Victoria Kjaer Theilvig , aggrandized the runway with her presence for Michael Cinco’s iconic presentation.

Everybody present was thoroughly enthralled by the showcase which also cemented Cinco’s place in the world of fashion as a break-out star! Cinco’s collection closed the day with an extravagant and lush display of grandeur- a day that otherwise, too, had been nothing short of spectacular in every sense. The collection by Viva Vox captured everyone’s eye with its edgy designs and bold silhouettes to paint a visual collage of hues. And the collection by Lama Jouni brought the much awaited zeal of modern femininity by bringing comfort streetwear at par with luxury and delivering a seamless blend. While talking about blends, one can not overlook the showcase by CHOICE, wherein we got to witness a marriage of retro elegance paired with modern effortless glam. Which was topped by Riva bringing in a myriad of looks that accompany your transition from urban diva to cosy chic! Michale Cinco closed the day with a couture collection that acted as a mirror to his pristine craftsmanship. Last but not least, this day also concluded the Buyer Programme- which provided the designers with an intimate setting with industry professionals & emerging talents to connect and collaborate. It is initiatives like such that pave the way for camaraderie and opportunities in the fashion fraternity. It might be a self-expression but what we have to remember is that fashion is also principled on the basis that we create and foster spaces for people to express.

How Fashion Haul Is Damaging Our Environment: Explained by Aishwarya How Fashion Haul Is Damaging Our Environment: Explained 3 November 2022 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement If you are active on social media, you would know what fashion haul is. At least once, these fashion haul videos must have popped on your feed. These videos can also be there in your ‘for you’ feed. Well, you might think, what’s the big deal if these videos are there? So let us tell you that, these videos are destroying our environment. Not in a real sense, but hypothetically speaking, these hauls lead to excessive buying of clothes and that leads to the destruction of our environment. A haul is a video that is promotional and, most fashion influencers do it. The company sends them a large number of clothes to try on and review. In return, the influencers get a hefty compensation in money or its kind. Now, the problem with such a promotion is that it provokes the audience to buy stuff that isn’t even needed by them. These hauls are heavily focused on fast fashion , which on its own is damaging to our nature. Though the hauls are bad for nature, people seem to like those content. The concept to understand here is that hauls are not only bad for our nature but are also for our budget. TikTok is a video content platform and, there are more than 1 billion views on the #clothinghaul hashtag and almost 13 billion views on the #haul hashtag. These numbers show us the reach, these videos have amongst the audience. The famous Shein is one of the most popular companies, in the haul trend. Shein hauls are popular for sure, but they are also driven by a marketing strategy. Shein has an affiliate program for influencers , that pays them a 10-20% commission for the haul post. Now, let’s talk about the damage, that these fast fashion hauls do to our environment. According to a study , the fast fashion industry creates almost 92 million tons of waste and, consumes around 79 trillion litres of water each year. As an industry, the fast fashion industry is responsible for 1/3rd of all microplastics found in the ocean and, produces almost 20% of global water waste. These numbers will concern you, but the fact is that most of fast fashion’s waste comes from post-production. Textile waste, the waste from unused textiles and old cloths, ends up in landfills. Around 85% of all textiles wind up in landfills every year- equivalent to one garbage truck filled with clothes being dumped in landfills every second. If this doesn’t concern you- which shouldn't be the case, there’s more than this. The fashion industry is the second largest polluter in the world, after the oil industry. Well, if you are thinking that, then why is it always the fashion industry that is being targeted? Then the reason is that fashion is a want and not a need. An excessive amount of clothing is harming the environment and also your bank account (read: month-end balance). The wastewater that this fast fashion industry produces, has toxic substances in it like lead, mercury, and arsenic. These substances are extremely harmful to aquatic life- where these substances are released, and also to millions of people who live by the river banks. A huge quantity of freshwater is used for dyeing and other processes, which leads to a shortage even more. To this, cotton needs a lot of water to grow, up to 20,000 litres of water is needed to produce 1kg of cotton. Another contributor to pollution is chemicals. They are used in every process, right from dyeing to result. The fashion industry also accounts for 10% of global carbon emission. It is also seen that the fashion industry has a major part in the degradation of soil. Apart from these environmental issues, there also exist some societal issues. The workers in the fashion industry are compensated very less and, and they work for a crazy amount of time. This is to keep up with the trends and deliver the clothes within the shortest period possible. This makes them a slave to the time, and they often end up getting burned out mentally and physically. The fast fashion and haul culture also give rise to the flex culture. Youngsters are on a quest to always have the trendiest clothes and also an excessive amount of clothing to wear. When there is a will, there is a way. So, the solution to this problem/disaster lies in acknowledging the harm that it is creating and, showing some willingness to change. Change isn’t difficult in today’s world, where nearly everything and anything has a cool alternative available. We just need to be mindful and choose sustainable options rather than a convenient option. A haul is a video that is promotional and, most fashion influencers do it. The company sends them a large number of clothes to try on and review. In return, the influencers get a hefty compensation in money or its kind.

The Rise Of Repetition: Why Everyday Style Has Become The New Fashion Language By Sakshi Shah The Rise Of Repetition: Why Everyday Style Has Become The New Fashion Language 6 February 2026 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Fashion today no longer thrives on spectacle alone. The drama of statement dressing — once defined by exaggerated silhouettes, bold trends, and constant novelty — has softened into something quieter, more deliberate. Across cities like Mumbai, personal style is increasingly shaped not by what is new, but by what is returned to. Repetition, once dismissed as uninspired, has become a language of confidence. This shift mirrors the way people live now. Days move quickly, identities overlap, and wardrobes are expected to keep pace without constant reinvention. Clothing is no longer worn for singular moments; it must travel through meetings, errands, dinners, and long commutes without losing relevance. Style, in this context, becomes less about performance and more about continuity. At the centre of this movement is a redefinition of what it means to dress well. A crisp white shirt appears again and again — worn loose over tailored trousers one day, buttoned cleanly with denim the next, sometimes half-tucked, sometimes layered under a sleeveless dress. Its appeal lies not in transformation, but in reliability. The same logic applies to wide-leg trousers paired with soft knits, neutral co-ords offset by a single statement accessory, or dresses styled flat-footed rather than dressed up. These are not trends; they are habits shaped by lived experience. Mumbai’s streets offer a particularly clear lens into this evolution. The city demands clothing that adapts to movement, weather, and pace, making repetition not a limitation but a strategy. Linen dresses extend well beyond summer, styled with closed shoes and light layers. Blazers are thrown over tank tops without ceremony. Gold jewellery becomes the only deliberate excess. The result is a look that feels effortless but considered — assembled for real life, not for display. This way of dressing reflects a broader cultural recalibration. In an era saturated with images and accelerated trend cycles, repetition offers grounding. Wearing familiar silhouettes becomes a form of authorship, a way of asserting taste without chasing validation. The repetition is quiet, but it is assured. It signals clarity rather than conformity. Importantly, repetition today does not imply stagnation. It suggests discernment. The same pair of jeans worn week after week shifts identity through context — styled with a structured jacket one day, a simple tank and flats the next. A trusted dress becomes a canvas rather than a statement, altered subtly through footwear, jewellery, or proportion. Style evolves not through replacement, but through refinement. India’s interpretation of this shift carries its own nuance. Climate, commuting culture, and the fluid overlap between professional and personal spaces demand wardrobes that are resilient and thoughtful. The repetition visible across Indian cities reflects a move toward sustainability that is not only environmental, but emotional. Clothes are no longer disposable expressions; they are companions to daily life, worn, reworked, and revisited with intention. What emerges from this shift is a new understanding of luxury. Luxury here is not defined by excess or accumulation, but by clarity. It is the confidence to rewear, to restyle, and to trust personal rhythm over trend cycles. A well-cut blazer, a familiar silhouette, a restrained palette these become markers of ease rather than predictability. The richness lies in knowing what works and returning to it without apology. As fashion continues to evolve, repetition reveals itself not as the absence of creativity, but as its maturation. The most compelling wardrobes today are not built on constant change, but on consistency. In choosing familiarity over frenzy, everyday style has established a new authority — one that feels grounded, intentional, and unmistakably current.

by Saumya Mishra TRAVEL Famous Awe-Inspiring Castles That Need To Be On Your Next Travel List by Saumya Mishra 25 February 2023 Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Baker Mayfield once quoted, "You don't build a great castle just all at once." Castles are fortified buildings built by the royals in the medieval era, for defense purposes and to protect the people living in them from invasions. The era of castles started about 1000 years ago and lasted for almost 500 years.
