New Delhi: A 25 year old Chinese man created unexpected drama on a Dubai to Singapore flight after being caught for allegedly trying to steal a bag in business class. The whole thing started when the wife of a passenger saw the man taking her husband’s bag from the overhead cabin while her husband was asleep. She quickly stopped him, and he quietly put the bag back. Without wasting time, she told her husband what had happened so they could keep an eye on him for the rest of the flight. Once the plane landed at Changi Airport, the couple…

New Delhi: ICICI Bank has made headlines after announcing a steep increase in the minimum average balance (MAB) for its savings accounts. This change, effective August 1, 2025, has set off debates among customers, civil rights groups, and finance watchers across India. The bank’s new rule means if you open a savings account in a metro city branch, you’ll now need to keep ₹50,000 as your minimum average balance—up from the earlier ₹10,000. Semi-urban branches will require ₹25,000 (earlier ₹5,000), and rural branches will need ₹10,000 (earlier ₹2,500). For many Indians, this isn’t just a number change, it’s a shift…

Sometimes, big ideas come wrapped in small annoyances, Imagine this: It’s the night before a big event. You’re dressed to kill, hair on point, outfit sorted, and just then, your nail chips. No time for a salon, no energy for a two-hour rescue mission, and definitely no solution in sight. Frustrating, right? That exact moment, experienced too many times, was the “aha!” that sparked SOEZI. It wasn’t some fancy boardroom brainstorm or a flash of inspiration during a meditation retreat. It was a good old “Why isn’t this available in India?” problem. Internationally, press-on nails were flying off shelves, becoming…

That’s what happened to Tridha Choudhury, a curious Microbiology student who once skipped her lecture at university, and ended up winning the Clean & Clear Times of India Fresh Face 2011 title. That one bold move opened the doors to Mumbai’s glittery world of cinema and turned her into a name known across Hindi, Bengali, and Telugu screens. But as Tridha herself says, “Big leaps have always been my dream.” And her story is nothing short of a leap of faith, grit, and unexpected magic. Before the cameras started rolling, Tridha was just like many of us, busy with school,…

New Delhi: This Raksha Bandhan, set to be celebrated on 9th August, is turning into more than just a sibling festival, it’s become a celebration of love, local pride, and Indian entrepreneurship.

When we think of spirituality, we often imagine someone far removed from the world, living in silence, dressed in simplicity, detached from desires. But Jaya Kishori? She breaks that mould completely. She walks among us, speaks our language, laughs like a sister, and reflects the same struggles we all go through, especially the youth. This is not a story of a sudden transformation or a divine calling under a sacred tree. No. This is a story that grew slowly, like a seed watered daily with stories, love, and sanskars from home. As a child, Jaya didn’t hear fairy tales of…

New Delhi: This announcement came during a landmark meeting at the White House with Apple CEO Tim Cook, where Apple doubled down on its “Made in America” push. The tech giant pledged a whopping $100 billion more toward U.S. manufacturing, taking its total investment promise to $600 billion. Apple’s partners, Corning, Texas Instruments, and Applied Materials, are stepping up too.

Trump’s tariff plan seems clear: reward those bringing jobs and factories back home, and punish those who don’t.…

New Delhi: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has confirmed that it will auction three of its bungalows in the popular hill station town of Lonavala.
