Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 8: IDFC First Bank has quietly but decisively pulled back on savings account generosity. From January 9, depositors will earn less across several balance slabs, with cuts running as deep as 200 basis points. IDFC First Bank has revised its savings account interest rates, trimming returns across multiple balance slabs and resetting expectations for depositors who had grown used to market-leading yields. The changes apply from January 9 and cover domestic, NRE, and NRO savings accounts. This is not a cosmetic tweak. In certain slabs, the reduction touches 200 basis points. The bank’s earlier rate structure…

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 6: The most interesting New Year’s resolutions in 2026 aren’t loud. They don’t come with gym selfies, productivity spreadsheets, or grand announcements promising reinvention by March. They arrive quietly — in kitchens, living rooms, local streets, and unglamorous moments that never make it to social media. In cities like Lucknow, people are choosing to cook instead of order, talk instead of scroll, feed animals instead of feeding algorithms. These are not the resolutions of people chasing success. These are the decisions of people exhausted by chasing it. This is not a rejection of ambition.It’s a refusal…

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 6: For years, wellness was sold like a mirror. Look better. Feel better. Post better. The industry thrived on visibility — abs you could photograph, routines you could brag about, habits that made sense only in January and collapsed by mid-February. Then reality intervened. As 2026 unfolds, wellness has stopped performing and started surviving. Nutrition is no longer a punishment system. Movement has stepped away from vanity metrics. Beauty has broken ranks with uniform perfection. And lifestyle, finally, is being treated as an experience — not a scoreboard. This is not a glow-up era.This is an…

New Delhi [India], January 8: Some places are stone and mortar. Somnath is memory, muscle, and moral spine. As Somnath Swabhiman Parv begins, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is asking the nation to remember exactly that. Somnath Swabhiman Parv officially commenced today, and with it came a message that cut through ceremony and nostalgia alike. Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended greetings to the nation, framing the occasion not as a ritual, but as a civilisational checkpoint. One that India has crossed, fallen at, rebuilt, and crossed again. Repeatedly. The Prime Minister recalled that January 1026 marked the first attack on the…

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 6: The champagne has barely gone flat, the calendars are still crisp, and yet something feels… different. There’s no frantic sprint toward gym memberships, no mass hysteria around detox teas, no public declarations of “This Is My Year” written with the confidence of someone who hasn’t met February yet. Instead, 2026 opens with a quieter, sharper intention. People are no longer negotiating with their bodies like hostile takeovers. They’re redesigning their lives with the patience of long-term investors. The era of dramatic resolutions is fading — replaced by something far less glamorous and far more radical:…
