Unleashing deep technology
India, with its vast human capital and burgeoning entrepreneurial spirit, has the potential to emerge as a global hub for deep tech innovation. Deep tech, which encompasses advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), blockchain, robotics, and quantum computing, can drive groundbreaking changes in various sectors, from health care to agriculture.
A trinket a day
The Delhi Art Gallery stood proud in Mumbai's Kala Ghoda in a three-story all-white curyear, all eyes were on the golden space, wondering who its next resident would be. Probably because of sky-high rentals, the new tenant was not a flashy fashion label peddling destination wedding-wear, like so many in the neighbourhood, but a young jewellery brand that introduced to India a new design language.
Love in the time of conflict
Love conquers all is a trite phrase, and it is doubtful if it is true except in sweeping paperback romances. It is certainly true in Achala Moulik's Phantom Lovers, consisting of two novellas. And why should it not? After all, if such conquering love does not exist, at least on paper, what ideal should mankind strive towards?

The bold Borwankar
Legendary top cop Julio Ribeiro, 92, penned an interesting column recently, in which he bracketed two very different women-a top cop (Meeran Chadha Borwankar) and the much-discussed TMC MP Mahua Moitra. Frankly, I cannot think of two women who are more dissimilar, but I loved Ribeiro's very modern take on both.

DISCUSSIONS ABOUT A NEW CONSTITUTION SHOULD BE THROTTLED AT THE START
There is an old-world charm to the spacious drawing room in the south Delhi home of the grand old man of Indian law. The vintage furniture, the stone-covered accent wall, ceramic souvenir plates, China figurines collected over the years, family photographs from different decades and an old clock going tick-tock evoke nostalgia for a time gone by.

Hush cash in vote banks
We have a right to know about the guys we vote for. They have to tell us if they have been accused of crimes, how much money they have in banks and stocks, how much gold in lockers and ornaments, how many homes, plots and shops they own, and even how deep in debt they are.
Gaza: Perils Of An Urban War
Urban warfare is terrifying and destructive. American author Max Brooks said, “No conventional battlefield, no breakdown in social order can possibly prepare you for the nightmare that is a city besieged.” City combat is hardly new. Archaeological excavations show that Hamoukar in Syria was destroyed by urban warfare 5,500 years ago. History is littered with ruined cities. Yet, humankind never learns.

Don't bark up the wrong tree
The death of Wagh Bakri Tea Group executive director Parag Desai, at the age of 49, is both tragic and untimely. Besides being the group’s sales, marketing, and exports head, and possessing expertise in tea tasting and evaluation, Parag was also the great-grandson of Narandas Desai, an entrepreneur from South Africa and a personal friend of Mahatma Gandhi who set up the brand way back in 1934. Wagh Bakri is an iconic name in teas, and its name, deriving from its logo —a wagh (tiger) and a bakri (goat) drinking out of the same cup—conveys a utopian message of non-violence, peace, equality and tolerance between all living creatures.

KAMAL NATH'S HOME office in Bhopal's Shymala Hills is abuzz with a steady stream of visitors. The bell inside rings constantly, informing his office staff he is ready to meet the next batch of people. The former chief minister is meeting everybody, from constituents to youth-wing members to ticket seekers to party functionaries and also supporters of disappointed ticket aspirants. What is drawing people to this posh enclave is the whiff of a possible victory and the fact that he is the Congress's undisputed chief ministerial face in the assembly elections.
