Silent complications in sickle cell children: AIIMS Bhopal study raises alarm

‘I said I won’t use a lot of abusive words’

Given how Satrangi: Badle Ka Khel explored themes of caste and power, actor Kumud Mishra was certain that he wanted to be part of the series. But he made a request to director Jai Basantu Singh before stepping into the role of the antagonist. “I said I won’t use a lot of abusive words, unless it is important,” recalled Mishra. The actor’s decision stemmed from an observation he made over the past few years. He shared, “Whenever we go into Hindi heartland, abusive words become a tool to make a series dramatic. The director strongly agreed [with me]. Of course, abuses are used in society on an everyday basis. I am not judging that; even I use abusive words. But in art, it should be deployed where its impact is felt. If it’s in every other dialogue, then it’s being used for effect.”  Sourc...

Tea Day 2026: Mumbai docs share health benefits of green tea, but there`s more

As much as Indians love their coffee, they also love their tea. While the classic milk tea is really popular, the masala chai and kadak chai are some of the most popular variations of tea in Mumbai, apart from the refreshing ginger tea or lemon tea that showcases how we love flavour. However, does drinking tea have health benefits? Mumbai doctors say it does, but there is more you need to know about the beverage, especially if you are obsessed with green tea. Every year, International Tea Day is observed on May 21 to not only celebrate the beverage but also highlight its role in cultural significance, economic importance, and health benefits. Srudheep, the managing director of Tamil Nadu`s Salem-based 100-year-old Sri Narasu`s Coffee Company, which also deals in tea, has seen a change in ...

International Tea Day 2026: Inside the science of quiet focus

In a culture powered by deadlines, notifications, and endless caffeine refills, the modern professional often mistakes overstimulation for productivity. Coffee has long been the fuel of hustle culture, delivering a sharp burst of alertness that can feel essential during demanding workdays. But increasingly, health experts are pointing to tea as a more sustainable alternative for focus and cognitive performance. The difference lies not only in caffeine content, but in a naturally occurring amino acid called L-Theanine — a compound found almost exclusively in tea. According to clinicians and neurologists, the interaction between caffeine and L-Theanine creates a unique neurological effect: calm alertness rather than frantic stimulation. For many professionals juggling high-pressure schedul...

These Are the Best Google Alternatives If You Want Less AI in Your Search Results

It's no secret that Google, like most big tech companies, has gone all-in on AI. The company believes it is the future, and, as such, has injected the technology into every one of its products, none more visibly than Google Search. Over the past two years, Google has introduced AI summaries that seek to answer your questions, pulling the information from websites that fewer and fewer users are actually visiting and reading for themselves. Given this trend, it should hardly come as a surprise that during I/O 2026, Google announced "a new era for AI Search." This "era" essentially marks an expansion of its investment in AI in Search: In addition to rolling out its new Gemini 3.5 Flash model to Search, Google is making it even easier to use its AI-generated results (or, perhaps, harder to avo...
