5 Organic Shampoos in India That Actually Work (Tested)
Because what you lather into your scalp matters more than you think. There’s something quietly transformative about switching to an organic shampoo. Maybe it’s the gentler lather. Maybe it’s the way your scalp stops feeling tight. Or maybe, it’s the simple comfort of knowing that what’s going down your drain isn’t wrecking the planet. Until recently, the haircare aisle was dominated by plastic-heavy bottles and impossible-to-pronounce ingredients. Most of us didn’t think twic

Congo Gurgaon: Inside the New Jungle-Themed Restaurant & Bar
There’s a new beat pulsing through Gurgaon’s Golf Course Road, and it’s not coming from the clubs — it’s rising from a place called Congo. A restaurant and bar that doesn’t whisper luxury, it growls it. It’s wild, textured, smoky, loud in all the right ways, and makes no apologies for it. Started by Anurag Dania and Abhishek Mathur, Congo isn’t trying to be just another plush space with mood lights. Backed by cricketer Suresh Raina and a solid crew of investors from Delhi NCR

Book Review: The Vertical Path by Tamanna C
Some books arrive in your life like answers. Like a voice you didn’t know you were waiting to hear. The Vertical Path by Tamanna C., published by Zorba Books is one of those rare books. Out of all the books I’ve received for the book review last week, The Vertical Path by Tamanna C. quietly pulled me in. It’s because I’ve always been drawn to anything rooted in spirituality, and this is just the right book at the right time. Either way, this was the first book in years, if no

Book Review: The Final Experiment by Yogesh SY
Published by Srishti Publishers, one of India’s most promising and independent publishing houses known for publishing some of the best-selling authors of India, this debut thriller, The Final Experiment by Yogesh SY, sits comfortably in the company of novels that aim to both entertain and unsettle. Srishti has consistently published voices that break the formula: raw, unfiltered, and not trying too hard to be 'literary,' but ending up that way anyway. And this book is no diff
