  • This Diwali, let your natural-looking brows steal the spotlight

    This Diwali, let your natural-looking brows steal the spotlight

    Nikhil Bhanushali, Founder, Victress Beauty Lounge

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 16: Diwali, the festival of lights, is fast approaching, and with it comes the pressure of looking ‘festive-ready’ for women. You may have it all, including the perfect set of outfits, well-styled hair, on-point jewellery and flawless skin. But it only takes a pair of unkempt eyebrows that do not frame your face well to play spoilsport with your overall Diwali look. However, there is no cause for worry at all, because you have semi-permanent eyebrows to your rescue!

    This cosmetic technique, which is a rage nowadays, uses cosmetic pigments to create soft shading or fine, hair-like strokes mimicking real brow hair or a subtle makeup effect. Popular methods of this modality include ombré shading, nano-blading, and microblading. They result in beautifully balanced, fuller brows that enhance your natural beauty and last even through long pujas or late-night parties.

    Festivals are a significant part of Indian culture, and Diwali especially is an occasion that brings families together in a celebration of love and light.   But between endless preparations, gatherings, and celebrations, getting your makeup right can often feel like a task. This is exactly where semi-permanent makeup steps in as your festive saviour, making you look like a doll, effortlessly. They are smudge-proof and sweat-proof too, adding to their overall appeal.

    Imagine your face glowing softly under the festive lights, your brows perfectly shaped as you light diyas or dance the night away. Now if you think that your semi-permanent brows will only last the Diwali day, you cannot be more wrong. The results usually last 12 to 24 months, depending on factors like your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. This means that you can spend more time celebrating and making memories, and less time fussing over your brows.

    This Diwali, natural-looking brows steal the spotlight - PNN

    Even beyond Diwali season, whether you are attending weddings, heading for a vacation, or simply getting ready for work, your brows remain ready to go. Speaking of vacations in particular, semi-permanent brows are the ultimate travel essential. With packed itineraries and little time for makeup, this treatment ensures your brows stay flawless all day, from morning to night. You can explore places, dine at restaurants, and click those travel selfies without worrying about touch-ups and too much hassle. You will always look fresh and presentable, thanks to your perfect brows!

    Here are some pro-tips to get your brows Diwali-ready:

    • Look for a reputed beauty clinic and book an appointment much in advance.
    • Make sure you clear all your doubts related to the procedure, so that you know what you are in for.
    • It is always advisable to book your session a couple of weeks before Diwali to allow your brows to heal and reveal their most natural, defined shape in time for the celebrations.
    • Avoiding sun exposure and harsh skin care products will help the brows stay perfectly arched and last long.

    So this Diwali, do not settle for anything less than sharp, well-sculpted brows that will help you shine on through the festive season and beyond.

  • India Russia Oil Trade: Trump Sparks Global Buzz

    India Russia Oil Trade: Trump Sparks Global Buzz

    New Delhi [India], October 16: Thursday morning, the world woke up to Donald Trump making headlines before most of us had our coffee. The US President claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally assured him India would stop buying oil from Russia. Cue instant global speculation. India, predictably, denied it.

    In less than 24 hours, the narrative spun from a Trump boast to a diplomatic shrug, with Russia quietly reminding everyone that its oil is good for India. Here’s what actually happened.

    Trump Drops the Russian Oil Bomb

    At a White House press conference on Wednesday, Trump claimed PM Modi had told him directly: India would halt Russian oil purchases. “He’s a friend of mine,” Trump said. “I was not happy that India was buying oil. And he assured me today that they will not be buying oil from Russia. That’s a big step.”

    For context, India is the second-largest buyer of Russian energy, after China. The country ramped up imports following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, which has been a sticking point in US-India trade talks. Trump also hinted he wanted a similar pledge from China.

    He even admitted he might be breaking news with his claim. “He can’t do it immediately; it’s a little bit of a process, but the process is going to be over with soon,” Trump added. Translation: he’s confident, but reality is messier.

    Trump Jokes About PM Modi’s Career

    During the same address, Trump got self-aware and sarcastic. Referencing Sergio Gor, the US ambassador-designate to India, Trump said, “He loves Trump… I don’t want you to take the word love any differently… I don’t want to destroy his political career.” The room laughed.

    Gor had just returned from his first India visit since confirmation, where he met PM Modi and presented a signed photo of the two leaders. Trump was clearly basking in the optics: the friendliest handshake story, wrapped in political theatre.

    India Fires Back: Denial Mode Activated

    As expected, Delhi did not confirm Trump’s claim. The Ministry of External Affairs, through spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal, stressed that India’s oil import policies focus on the “interests of the Indian consumer in a volatile energy scenario.”

    Jaiswal also explicitly denied any call between PM Modi and Trump regarding Russian oil. “I am not aware of any conversation yesterday between the two leaders,” he said.

    On the US energy front, Jaiswal pointed out that India has been looking to expand energy procurement from America for years. Talks have been ongoing, and the current administration has shown interest in deepening energy cooperation. [Internal Link → placeholder]

    Domestic Reactions: Politics Meets Diplomacy

    Back home, Trump’s remarks fueled Opposition criticism. Rahul Gandhi, on X, suggested PM Modi was “frightened of Trump,” citing repeated silences and continued flattery. Shiv Sena leader Priyanka Chaturvedi added, “Silence is betrayal” in this case.

    In short, Indian politics didn’t skip a beat. Opposition figures pounced while PM Modi’s team maintained the standard strategic quiet, letting facts, not gossip, dictate the narrative.

    Russia Enters the Conversation

    Not one to sit quietly, Russia reminded everyone that its oil trade with India is mutually beneficial. Ambassador Denis Alipov stated, “India and the US are independent in their decisions, and we do not interfere in those issues. Our oil supplies are very beneficial for the Indian economy and the welfare of the Indian people.”

    So while Trump paints a “PM Modi-approved halt” narrative, Moscow quietly reiterated the economic logic behind India’s imports. It’s a diplomatic shrug that says: we know our oil matters, and we’re not leaving the party.

    Trade Tensions Context: US Tariffs and Energy Politics

    The backdrop here is more than just Twitterable quips. Earlier this year, Trump doubled tariffs on Indian imports to 50%, citing India’s Russian oil trade. That forced weeks of negotiations, which continue behind closed doors.

    India’s energy strategy is straightforward: diversify suppliers while keeping prices manageable for its domestic market. Russian oil is cheaper than most alternatives, and slashing purchases overnight would hit consumers and the economy. That’s the real game Trump is trying to oversimplify for headlines.

    What Happened in 24 Hours

    • Trump claims PM Modi assured him India would stop Russian oil purchases.
      He jokes about “not destroying PM Modi’s political career” and adds theatrics about China.
    • India officially denies any such call or commitment.
    • Opposition parties in India slam the PM for perceived submissiveness.
    • Russia emphasizes that its oil remains vital for India’s economy.
    • Markets and analysts weigh implications for global energy and US-India trade.

    In short, a 24-hour whirlwind of bold claims, denials, political theatre, and global eyebrow-raising.

    Conclusion

    Trump’s headline-grabbing statement may have lit up global media, but the facts tell a different story. India is sticking to its energy strategy, focusing on domestic priorities while keeping doors open for US collaboration.

    The optics may suggest drama; the reality is careful calculation.

    Energy markets, diplomatic channels, and political opponents will continue to read between the lines. For now, the takeaway is clear: don’t mistake Trump’s bravado for fact. India’s oil choices remain grounded in economics, not tweets.

  • A Celestial Celebration of Sound: Naushad Academy of Hindustani Sangeet Presented an Instrumental Odyssey

    A Celestial Celebration of Sound: Naushad Academy of Hindustani Sangeet Presented an Instrumental Odyssey

    From Left to Right: Liyakat Ali Khan, Rehman Naushad, Uttam Singh, Gurmeet Singh and Fardeen Khan.

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 17: On Monday, 13th October 2025, Naushad Academy of Hindustani Sangeet proudly presented a celestial instrumental extravaganza in Mumbai, an evening that transcended time, drawing audiences into the divine world of classical resonance and emotional depth.

    The night belonged to the legendary Ustad Liyakat Ali Khan on the Sarangi, whose fingers and bow sang with centuries of tradition, joined by his gifted grandson Fardeen Khan on the Tabla, whose rhythmic artistry gave life to every beat. Together, they created a confluence of generations a dialogue between tradition and evolution, emotion and technique, the past and the present.

    A Journey Through Raagas: The Music Speaks

    The concert opened with the soulful strains of Raag Charukeshi, where each note blossomed into waves of longing and tranquillity. Ustad Liyakat Ali Khan’s Sarangi seemed to breathe, whispering and soaring with emotion, guiding the audience into a meditative stillness. The purity of tone and the serenity of the Raag set a sacred mood, an invocation to the spirit of classical music itself.

    From this gentle invocation, the performance transitioned seamlessly into the majestic Raag Bhairav. A morning Raag of immense gravitas and devotional beauty. With every glide of the bow and resonant stroke on the Tabla, the ambience was filled with an aura of reverence. The mood deepened as the maestro rendered the timeless “Mohe Bhool Gaye Sanwariya,” a composition by the great Naushad Sahab. This piece steeped in emotion and nostalgia, transported listeners to the golden era of Indian cinema, where classical foundations gave film music its eternal soul.

    Then came the lively and playful Raag Brindavani Sarang, bursting forth like the first rain of the monsoon. Its joyous, lilting phrases danced between Sarangi and Tabla a musical celebration of nature’s renewal and the rhythm of life itself. The audience swayed with delight as each note shimmered like a drop of rain caught in sunlight.

    As dusk descended, the maestro turned to the introspective Raag Rageshwari, weaving a tapestry of calm and contemplation. The dialogue between the Sarangi and Tabla deepened, a musical conversation that spoke of love, longing, and the twilight between day and night. The emotional crescendo found its expression in the immortal “Udja Kale Kawan” composed by the great Uttam Singh Sahab. Its poignant melody and haunting beauty stirred memories, filling the hearts with quiet reverence and nostalgia.

    A Tribute to the Eternal Legacy of Hindustani Sangeet

    This unforgettable evening was not merely a concert; it was an experience, a spiritual journey through sound. Every note paid homage to the timeless tradition of Hindustani classical music while embracing its contemporary expression.

    The event was made possible through the vision and dedication of the permanent Trustees of Naushad Academy of Hindustani Sangeet, along with the team members mentioned below:

    • Mr Rehman Naushad – President/Trustee 
    • Mr Uttam Singh – Secretary/Trustee 
    • Mr Gurmeet Singh – Treasurer/Trustee 
    • Mrs Shenaaz Parveen Mutiur Rehman – Trustee 
    • Mrs Jasvinder Kaur – Trustee 
    • Mrs Umaarah Mutiur Rehman – Trustee 
    • Event Organiser – Ms Parmeet Kaur 
    • Media Consultant – Mr David Allan Vaz 
    • Photography and Videography – Mr Nabh Kumar Raju, along with his event crew members. 

    Their shared commitment to preserving and promoting India’s classical heritage gave rise to an evening that will resonate in the hearts of all who witnessed it, a living tribute to the maestros of yesteryears and a promise to the generations yet to come.

    This was more than music; it was memory, meditation, and magic intertwined, a night where sound became spirit.
