  • WORLD PEACE DOME

    by Akash Khatri TRAVEL WORLD PEACE DOME by Akash Khatri 1 November 2020 Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement World peace dome stands tall at 263 feet with a diameter of 160 feet. The height of the dome is 96 feet, whereas total height from ground to apex is 263 feet. The sitting area inside is spread over to 20,000 sq. feet and total seating capacity is 3000. This is one of the important architectural wonder which was completed in the year 2018 and was accomplished through 15 years of perseverance and dedication of thousands of people. This epitome of wonder is located in Maharashtra, India and is dedicated for ‘World Peace and Humanity’ regardless of the fact that India ranks 141 in GPI (Global Peace Index); ranks 133 in peace and security index ,one of the least safe countries for women and has many disputes related to religion, castes going on from years mainly rooting from politics that we often come across regularly. It often leaves me wondering, have the virtual and showcasing world really overpowered us so well and establishing its roots among us so powerfully that we actually believe that buildings and statues representing peace, humanity and unity can make this place or this world better for us? Do we actually believe that burying and not talking about the flaws can disparage them in long terms? This world peace dome left me bamboozled and thinking if it represents the modern world where only fake ways of life is sold rather than just peace and humanity. Metaphorically speaking, if this world peace dome or several structures built like this or are in disputes to be built in future can actually establish a system where the ways of real upbringings, real meaning of life can be shown, where it is explained enough to soak in through the bones that life is more than just ‘representing’ or sugar coating ‘ugly truths’ but these representatives are quoting opposite lessons. Nothing can be a representative of anything if the mirror of that particular place it is built in, is saying something else. Granted it can attract tourism and thus can help in boosting Indian economy in one way or the other but outsiders are really attracted to the Indian culture they found some kind of treasury in, which we are continuously letting to slip away from us! Disguise cannot be put forth longer and the practical perks could exhaust soon if we continue to hide under the films of silver linings.

  • Absent Findings Feels Like It Knows Exactly What It’s Doing

    Absent Findings Feels Like It Knows Exactly What It’s Doing By Sakshi Shah Absent Findings Feels Like It Knows Exactly What It’s Doing 6 May 2026 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement There is a quiet confidence to Absent Findings , the kind that does not need to announce itself to be noticed. It feels considered, steady, and already sure of its voice. Rather than rushing to define itself, the brand moves with intention, allowing its identity to unfold naturally. Founded by Shivin Singh and shaped between Milan and Dubai, Absent Findings draws from memory, material, and lived experience in a way that feels instinctive. The references are personal, but never overwhelming. There is a sense of ease in how everything comes together, as though each piece belongs exactly where it is. The latest collection, Not What You Think , continues this direction with clarity. Silhouettes are elongated and architectural, yet they remain fluid in movement. Tailoring plays a central role, particularly through pinstripes, but it never feels rigid. Softer drapes balance the structure, creating a rhythm that moves between precision and ease. The palette stays grounded, built on deep tones and structured neutrals that let the forms speak for themselves. While surrealist influences sit in the background, they are not expressed in obvious ways. Instead, they appear through subtle shifts in proportion and a slight distortion of familiar shapes. Each look feels composed, but never predictable. The strength of the collection lies in its contrasts. Structured outerwear holds its form with clarity, while more fluid pieces echo the language of traditional draping. There are quiet references to garments like the sari, not through direct replication, but through movement and construction. An airy, ruffled bodysuit introduces lightness, offering a soft counterpoint to the sharper elements. Alongside these looks, the Top Handle Small Gallery Bag stands out with a refined presence, clean in its construction and consistent with the brand’s overall sensibility. Material plays an important role in shaping this identity. Absent Findings works with vintage saris and deadstock fabrics, reimagining them into contemporary pieces that carry a sense of continuity. It does not feel like a statement or a strategy, but rather an instinctive way of working, where existing materials are given a new life without losing their history. Behind the brand is a team that brings together different perspectives while maintaining a clear direction. Shivin Singh’s background at Polimoda and his experience within luxury accessories are evident in the attention to detail and construction. At the same time, the wider team contributes to a strong visual and strategic foundation, ensuring that the brand evolves without losing its focus. This evolution has been steady, moving across different spaces with a sense of purpose. Early presentations at BRED Abu Dhabi and SOLE DXB established a direct connection with audiences, blending fashion with craft and experience. These moments felt personal and immersive, setting the tone for what the brand represents. From there, Absent Findings entered more design focused environments in Milan, including Lineapelle Designers Edition and Fondazione Sozzani . These platforms placed the brand within a wider conversation around material innovation and contemporary design, allowing its work to be seen in a more global context. Fashion week presentations followed as a natural extension of this journey. A digital showcase on the Milano Fashion Week calendar introduced the brand through a cinematic lens, while a recent runway at Dubai Fashion Week translated that same language into a physical format. Both formats felt aligned, reinforcing the same narrative rather than shifting direction. What makes Absent Findings stand out is not the speed of its growth, but the clarity behind it. Each step feels connected, building on the last without losing its sense of identity. There is no urgency to over define or over explain. Instead, the brand allows its work to speak in a quieter, more assured way. In a moment where fashion often leans toward excess, Absent Findings offers something more grounded. It understands its references, respects its materials, and moves forward with a clear sense of self. That quiet confidence is what stays with you, long after the collection has passed.

  • Black Hole Theory

    SOCIETY by Akash Khatri Black Hole Theory 1 October 2020 SOCIETY Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement If what happens beyond universe fascinates you then this article is for you! “Black Hole”, “Warm Hole” these are few of the scientific terms that recently became famous, thanks to the sci-fi series and films! But have you ever delved into the reality check of these theories?If not, no worries! We will be talking about the theories and facts related to Black hole right here in this article. “Black Hole” – the enigma that this term has! Who first predicted the “Black Hole” theory? The human genius Albert Einstein explained about the existence of “Black Hole” long back in 1916 in his work “General Theory of Relativity”. But he never named it as “Black Hole”. It was more of a prediction than a theory. Want to know a fun fact? Einstein himself never believed that such an object could exist in the outer space! Then who coined this name? It was American astronomer John Wheeler who coined the term “Black Hole” in the year 1967. But even till that time, nobody could find a trace of black hole. When we got know that black holes REALLY exist? The first ever black hole was discovered in the year 1971 and soon the world acknowledged the existence of black hole in real. What exactly is a Black Hole? Black hole is a densely compact object that does not let anything pass through it, even light. It has immense gravitational pull. Why this has so much of gravitational pull? When matter is squeezed into a tiny space it is bound to have such kind of gravitational pull! And black hole is a sheer black space in universe which can’t be seen with naked eyes. How black holes are formed? When a star runs out of fuel, it dies and gets converted into a “black hole. A space where only gravitational pull is left. No spark-No shine-No light! Are there only one kind of black hole? No, there are three kinds of black holes (discovered so far): 1. Steller Black Holes 2. Supermassive Black Holes 3. Intermediate Black Holes What did Stephen Hawking contribute about this topic Black Hole? In 1974, Stephen Hawking made a prediction that black holes eventually evaporate entirely (Though this theory is yet to be physically proved in real!!). Another interesting theory explained by Hawking is “Spaghettification”. This theory says, if by default, an object is trapped in a black hole then due to its exceptional gravitational pull the object would be stretched like a Spaghetti from head to toe, vertically! There is no end on the number of theories that this enigmatic topic has! #blackhole #Hawking #spaghettification #theories SEARCH Why India is the most depressed country in the world?

  • Perlée Reimagined: Van Cleef & Arpels’ Sculptural Elegance In Motion

    Perlée Reimagined: Van Cleef & Arpels’ Sculptural Elegance In Motion By Ananya Patankar Perlée Reimagined: Van Cleef & Arpels’ Sculptural Elegance In Motion 17 July 2025 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Art in Orbit Golden beads, secret watches, and a new artistic collaboration—the Maison’s Perlée collection returns with playful grandeur and signature savoir-faire Graceful and luminous, the new Perlée collection by Van Cleef & Arpels captures the Maison’s talent for turning simplicity into seduction, and gold into poetry. At the heart of these creations lies the golden bead—a Maison signature that transforms geometry into poetry, and ornament into art. Re-imagined with luminous stones, sculptural volumes, and secret surprises, the new collection is a celebration of lightness, movement, and refined whimsy. With every piece, Perlée reflects the spirit of Van Cleef & Arpels: a house where legacy meets invention, and where each jewel whispers a story shaped by beauty, heritage, and exceptional savoir-faire . The Perlée collection is Van Cleef & Arpels at its most elemental, where form and finesse converge in a single motif: the golden bead . Rooted in the ancient art of granulation, these gleaming orbs have traced the Maison’s history—from the bold contours of the 1948 Couscous bracelet to the delicate curves of the Alhambra motif introduced in 1968. But in Perlée, the bead is no longer just an accent, it is the star. Rounded, radiant, and impossibly harmonious, each bead reflects light with a joyful rhythm, lending the collection its signature sense of movement and clarity. They speak a universal design language: playful yet composed, architectural yet fluid. In a world often defined by excess, Perlée offers quiet glamour—a reminder that simplicity, when perfected, is the ultimate sophistication. Whether strung delicately across a ring or encircling the wrist in gold-dusted precision, the bead becomes more than material; it becomes emotion made visible. This season, Perlée unfolds in a crescendo of preciousness, offering creations that shimmer with individuality while maintaining the collection’s signature symmetry and charm. From sculpted rings to delicate earrings, the collection balances minimalist elegance with sumptuous craftsmanship. In the Perlée Signature line, rings and bracelets crafted in white, rose, or yellow gold exude an effortless purity and sculptural grace. Their surfaces are adorned with solely polished golden beads, making each curve feel architectural and serene. For those drawn to symbolism, the Perlée Clovers collection brings the Maison’s cherished motif of luck to life , with stylized four-leaf patterns traced in radiant beads and brilliant diamonds. Meanwhile, With Perlée Couleurs, vibrant hues take center stage, stones such as turquoise, malachite, and coral are set within gleaming gold, their natural and untreated clarity carefully preserved. That’s not all, then comes the opulent sparkle of Perlée Diamonds: five rows of rose or white gold beads interspersed with diamonds that catch and scatter light with every movement. These asymmetric compositions add a dynamic edge to the collection, allowing pieces to be layered or worn alone in quiet majesty. True to Van Cleef & Arpels’ standards, each gemstone is handpicked with a collector’s eye: diamonds from D to F in color, IF to VVS in clarity, and colored stones celebrated for their crystalline depth and natural brilliance. The result? Jewelry that glows, not just with light, but with legacy and pride. In the world of Van Cleef & Arpels, time is never simply measured—it is adorned, concealed, and re-imagined. With the new Perlée timepieces, the Maison continues its tradition of crafting jewels that tell time, fusing haute horlogerie with haute joaillerie in elegant harmony. At first glance, the Perlée watches appear like exquisite bracelets—slender, luminous, and perfectly balanced. But look closer, and you’ll discover dials crafted in guilloché white mother-of-pearl, gently encased within golden beaded frames. The delicate structure is held in place by a discreet central attachment, a subtle nod to Van Cleef’s aesthetic signatures. The true enchantment, however, lies in the secret watches, pieces that veil the passage of time behind layers of artistry. The Perlée Secret Pendant watch , for instance, hides its dial beneath a beaded disc set with rubies and diamonds, while the Toi & Moi Secret Watch balances twin dials like a duet, echoing themes of love and duality. Invisible mechanisms, such as a hidden push-button to set the time, elevate the technical mastery. And with interchangeable straps in leather or grosgrain, each timepiece can shift from day to night with seamless grace, proof that practicality and poetry can indeed coexist. What is special about this season’s Perlée collection is that it arrives with a visual storybook crafted by long-time collaborator Arthur Hoffner , a French designer whose sculptural imagination transforms the collection into an atmospheric dreams-cape. Since 2018, Hoffner has brought his signature playfulness and precision to Van Cleef & Arpels campaigns—but this year, his vision is more enchanting than ever. Set against a stylized snowy village, his backdrop of geometric forms, arches, spheres, and delicate slopes create a miniature world where jewelry appears to move with the light. It’s not merely a setting but a mood: poetic, architectural, and serene. Hoffner’s affinity for spheres resonates deeply with Perlée’s essence . “The sphere is almost too perfect to be of this Earth,” he muses, an idea echoed in every golden bead. His interpretation gives the collection a new narrative dimension, one that marries fantasy and form. Like the jewelry itself, his visuals whisper of quiet luxury artful, intentional, and impossible to forget. Behind every piece in the Perlée collection lies the Maison’s uncompromising commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, a philosophy that turns metal and mineral into living art. From the first sketch to the final polish, each creation is shaped by the hands of expert artisans, drawing on techniques passed down through generations. Iconic to Van Cleef & Arpels, the golden beads are sculpted with exceptional precision—generous in form, flawlessly smooth, and mirror-polished to catch and reflect light with breathtaking clarity. Whether arranged in fluid lines or clustered with precious stones, the beads create a tactile richness that’s instantly recognizable. When set with diamonds or vibrant stones, each piece undergoes openwork detailing, allowing light to pass through and illuminate the stones from within. This interplay of light magnifies their natural brilliance while maintaining the collection’s signature airiness. Even the mechanisms behind the timepieces are artfully concealed, ensuring that functionality never compromises beauty. Each element, every clasp, every stone, every bead bears the Maison’s signature of attention to detail. It’s not just jewelry, but a legacy of excellence, designed to be cherished across generations. To own a piece from the Perlée collection is to step into the storied world of Van Cleef & Arpels, a world shaped not by fleeting trends, but by enduring codes, timeless beauty, and a quiet sense of exclusivity. The golden bead, now a house signature, first graced the Maison’s creations in the late 1940s and has since become a symbol of its refined identity. From the Couscous wristwatch of 1949 to the beloved Alhambra motif that debuted in 1968, golden beads have traced the outlines of Van Cleef’s most iconic designs. Over the decades, they’ve appeared alongside whimsical animal clips, vivid gemstones, and sculptural silhouettes. Yet in Perlée, the motif reaches its full expression, elevated from decorative flourish to elemental form. And while the aesthetic remains open and joyful, the sense of rarity is unmistakable. Each piece is a testament to precision, restraint, and artistic qualities that define the Van Cleef & Arpels woman. In a world saturated with spectacle, Perlée offers a different kind of luxury: intimate, eternal, and exquisitely French. There are jewels that dazzle, and then there are jewels that stay with you, not just on the skin, but in memory, in feeling, in the quiet assertion of elegance they lend to every gesture. Perlée belongs to the latter. It doesn’t clamor for attention; it glows . With each golden bead, Van Cleef & Arpels invites you into a world where time slows, beauty speaks softly, and every detail is a promise kept. Whether it circles your wrist or rests gently at your collarbone, a Perlée creation doesn’t merely adorn, it transforms. It reminds you that luxury isn’t about more; it’s about meaning. And perhaps, that’s what makes Van Cleef & Arpels irresistible.

  • Smooth Operator: Audi’s Q5 Hybrid Is Built To Tempt

    Smooth Operator: Audi’s Q5 Hybrid Is Built To Tempt LIFESTYLE Smooth Operator: Audi’s Q5 Hybrid Is Built To Tempt By Ananya Patankar 14 July 2025 Advertisement Sleek, intuitive, and engineered to whisper rather than roar, the Audi Q5 e-hybrid is a car for those who believe performance shouldn’t demand attention—but effortlessly earn it. It’s not just about going electric. It’s about elevating every moment behind the wheel. Audi turns the page with two bold new additions to the Q5 lineage. From first glance, it’s clear it isn’t merely an SUV made for commuting. The SUV and Sportback are not just sculpted but add to its athletic silhouette more akin to modern architecture than machinery. Whether you’re gazing at the Sportback’s sleek roof-line or the classic stance of the SUV, the Q5 e-hybrid feels at home anywhere: coastal highways, cobbled cities or countryside curves. However, there is more to the Q5 than just its astonishing architecture. Beneath its sculpted form beats the unmistakable heart of Audi—quattro all-wheel drive, now re-imagined with electric precision. Available in two power-trains—220 kW and a thrilling 270 kW—the Q5 e-hybrid isn’t just a hybrid; it’s a masterclass in dynamic elegance. It’s an experience of choice, a choice that makes your Sunday grocery runs pleasurable and weekend getaways relaxing. With up to 100 kilometers of pure electric driving the car promises that signature Audi surge, hitting 0 to 100 km/h in as little as 5.1 seconds. When it comes to the driving experience, you're enveloped by a cabin that feels more sanctuary than vehicle. Soft-touch material wraps you in Audi’s S line design, where every surface, every control, feels positioned not just with thought, but with compassion. There’s subtle confidence here, a feeling where your Q5 understands before you speak. The Q5’s fully digital MMI experience plus is not just an infotainment system, but rather your co-pilot, artfully integrating Audi’s application store, along with smartphone interface, and a dynamic sound system that drowns the traffic allowing you a pleasurable and non-stressful drive. As for the passenger experience, Audi does not compromise. The fully adjustable rear seat bench plus lets passengers choose their own realm of space—whether you’re traveling solo with weekend luggage or with a backseat trio heading for dinner in the hills. As promised, your vehicle strives to understand before you even speak, responding with utmost silence, like it’s EV mode. Driving the Q5 e-hybrid in EV mode is like slipping into a private members’ club—exclusive, hushed, effortless. Where power and peace collide. With three levels of regenerative braking controlled by steering wheel paddles, you can command the drive with a gentle flick of the fingers. Whether coasting into a quiet sunrise or descending a hillside road, the Q5’s intelligent hybrid system ensures that every joule of energy is put to sophisticated use. And when the roads open up? That’s when the combustion engine joins the ensemble—smooth, quiet, and seamlessly blended with it’s electric torque. It’s not a transition you notice; it’s one you feel, like the subtle gear shift in a live jazz quartet. Additionally, beneath that is a battery system re-imagined; not just to perform but think ahead. At the heart of the Q5 e-hybrid is a re-imagined high-voltage battery with 45% more capacity than its predecessor. Audi didn’t just increase the numbers—they re-engineered the battery architecture, using a “cell-to-pack” design that not only boosts energy density but preserves cabin and trunk space. Resulting in up to 1,358 liters of storage in the SUV with the seats down—and a silent confidence that no detail has gone overlooked. Consecutively, charging too can be considered a part of your lifestyle, rather than just another chore. With 11 kW AC charging capability, you’re looking at a full charge in just 2.5 hours. Plug in at home after your evening run, and it’s ready to go by the time you finish your espresso. But beyond convenience lies intelligence—the kind that can predict your next move. Audi’s hybrid drive strategy is more than just intelligent—it’s instinctual. With Predictive Efficiency Assist , the car uses GPS data, traffic analysis, even gradient readings, to determine when to recover energy or coast—making the most of every meter. It’s like driving with a sixth sense, where the car knows when to push, and when to pause. In addition, there’s a refined rhythm to the Q5 e-hybrid’s movement: the quiet confidence of a machine that’s always aligned—with the road, the moment, and you. Whether in EV, hybrid, or full performance mode, this Audi adapts not just to roads, but to the luxurious lifestyle you seek. In a world obsessed with volume, the Q5 leads with stillness and luxury. The Q5 earns admiration through craft, presence and purposeful innovation. You can feel it in the red brake calipers peeking behind 19-inch alloy wheels, in the tailored black sports seats, in the way ambient lighting turns night drives into theatre. Built in San José Chiapa, Mexico, and arriving in Europe mid-2025, the Q5 e-hybrid is more than a new chapter—it’s Audi at its most evolved.

  • Exposing Skin Care Myths Through A Dermatologist

    By Anushka Sharma By Anushka Sharma Exposing Skin Care Myths Through A Dermatologist 18 June 2024 BEAUTY Advertisement Advertisement Are you someone who spends a lot of time on social media, especially looking at skincare trends? I admit I've done that, and sometimes it leads to buying things I don't need. While some trends are good, others might not be so great for your skin. Here are five skincare trends you might have seen online that aren't as helpful as they seem: 1. Flax Seeds for Wrinkles: Have you seen people making masks with flax seeds to tighten their skin? Well, it might make your skin feel nice for a little while, but it's not like getting Botox. Botox actually relaxes certain muscles in your face, while flaxseed masks just hydrate your skin temporarily. 2. Garlic for Pimples: Some folks say eating garlic can clear up acne, but that's not entirely true. Garlic does have some good properties, but it won't magically make your pimples disappear. Using skincare ingredients like salicylic acid and niacinamide is a better bet. 3. Face Flooding for Oily Skin: If you've got oily skin, you might have heard about "face flooding" to give your skin extra moisture. But for some people, it just makes them look sweaty and can even cause more breakouts. It's not a one-size-fits-all solution. 4. Collagen Masks: Those masks that melt into your skin might look cool, but they don't do much for you. Collagen in skincare can't really get absorbed into your skin like that. It might make your skin feel hydrated, but that's about it. 5. SPF Madness: We've all heard that higher SPF means better protection from the sun, right? Well, not necessarily. Too much SPF can make your skin oily, and anything beyond SPF 50 doesn't add much extra protection. Plus, you still need to reapply it often. So, next time you see a skincare trend online, take it with a grain of salt. It's always best to talk to a dermatologist before trying something new on your skin.

  • This Editorial Began Beyond The Studio Walls

    This Editorial Began Beyond The Studio Walls By Sakshi Shah This Editorial Began Beyond The Studio Walls 10 March 2026 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Most fashion stories today begin the same way. A saved folder. A mood board. References collected from places we’ve already seen. This shoot started somewhere else. Instead of building an idea inside a studio, the starting point was simply stepping outside into Mumbai. Water, rocks, trees and open sky were already there, doing what no backdrop really can. The thought was simple: take a garment that usually lives in a controlled setting and see how it feels in a place that moves on its own. The corset was the natural choice for this experiment. Its structured lines usually live in precise, polished spaces, but here it could interact with the unpredictability of nature. The styling concept came together with Aayushi Mishra, while Jay Dighe shaped the shoot visually, letting both photography and ideation respond to the surroundings. The editorial approach guided the way the frames developed, ensuring that the garment’s structure and movement were highlighted without overcomplication. Nothing was forced — the landscape simply existed, and the garment responded to it. The first look stayed intentionally simple. A white shirt layered under the corset, paired with a white skirt, created a crisp silhouette. On uneven ground and among tall grass, the corset’s shape became sharper, the waist more defined, yet the look felt relaxed and approachable. The openness of the setting gave the outfit room to breathe, showing how structure can coexist naturally with texture and movement. This approach emphasized the garment within a real, living environment, rather than a studio construct. Next came a green dress, softer in movement and blending effortlessly with the trees around it. In this setting, the corset acted more as a grounding element than a focal point, giving shape to the dress while allowing the fabric to flow naturally. The result felt balanced rather than heavily styled. A Brazilian model brought fresh energy to the frames, her excitement for the shoot blending seamlessly with the open, natural surroundings. Each frame captured a sense of ease that highlighted both garment and movement. By the lake, the mood shifted again. Sunlight reflected across the water while boots met the shoreline, and fabric caught the breeze with every step. Reflections subtly reshaped the silhouette, creating small, organic changes with each movement. The corset appeared almost architectural here — strong and defined, but never stiff. Against the rocks, water, and open sky, it simply existed as part of the scene. Through the shoot, it became clear how much context can shape perception. In open light, the corset felt confident and structured. Among trees, it seemed grounded. By the water, it looked sculptural and steady. The piece itself remained unchanged, yet its surroundings constantly revealed new facets of its design. Working outside also introduced a rhythm that can’t be recreated in a studio — light shifted, wind moved fabric, and small moments happened spontaneously. Those subtle variations made the frames feel alive, while keeping the editorial direction intact. In the end, this story wasn’t about showing multiple ways to style a corset. It was about seeing what happens when a familiar piece is placed somewhere unexpected. Sometimes styling isn’t about adding layers or building elaborate sets. Sometimes it’s about letting the garment respond to its environment, and letting the frame itself guide the story. A corset in a studio is something we’ve seen many times. A corset standing quietly among rocks, trees, and water feels like an entirely different conversation.
