  • Amit Khanna and Pankaj Kharbanda Unite to Present RUBARU 2026: A Powerful Celebration of Indian Women

    Amit Khanna and Pankaj Kharbanda Unite to Present RUBARU 2026: A Powerful Celebration of Indian Women

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 19: Acclaimed photographer Amit Khanna joins hands with renowned entrepreneur and pageant consultant Pankaj Kharbanda to present RUBARU 2026, this year’s Glar-Iconic calendar — an evocative visual tribute to Indian women across identities, journeys, and phases of life.

    Presented by Pankaj Kharbanda, Managing Director of Rubaru Mr. India, the calendar marks a compelling collaboration between two visionaries who believe that representation must move beyond surface-level glamour and into meaningful storytelling. RUBARU 2026 emerges as a nuanced, cinematic exploration of womanhood — rooted in strength, sensitivity, choice, and truth.

    Amit Khanna shares, “This calendar is not about how women are seen — it’s about how they exist. Each image is a
    quiet conversation with strength, vulnerability, desire, duty, and freedom. I wanted every frame to feel honest, timeless, and deeply human.”

    The concept of RUBARU — meaning face to face — becomes the soul of the project. Across twelve thoughtfully crafted frames, the calendar reflects women reclaiming space, rewriting tradition, and standing firmly in their individuality. From reimagining mythology to portraying modern realities, the visuals challenge outdated narratives while celebrating lived experiences with dignity and grace.

    Pankaj Kharbanda adds, “At Rubaru, we’ve always believed in platforms that shape confidence and character. With RUBARU 2026, the intention was to support a narrative that honours women not as symbols, but as forces — grounded, powerful, and unapologetically themselves.”

    A Stellar Line-Up of Faces Adding depth and resonance to the calendar is a diverse ensemble of celebrated personalities who embody the spirit of the project. RUBARU 2026 features:

    Shweta Tiwari, Jaya Bhattacharya, Gulki Joshi, Divya Agarwal, Akanksha Puri, Aneri Vajani, Jamie Lever, Ashnoor Kaur, Tinaa Dattaa, Rohit Verma, Rrahul Sudhir, Komica Anchal, Diandra Soares, Virraaj Babar, Nipun Singh, and Svara Mandlik.

    Each participant brings their own lived story, presence, and perspective — reinforcing the calendar’s ethos that empowerment is not one-dimensional, but deeply personal. With its refined aesthetic, old-world elegance, and contemporary relevance, RUBARU 2026 stands as more than an annual calendar — it is a cultural statement. One that invites audiences to pause, reflect, and meet women rubaru — face to face — beyond labels, judgments, and expectations.

  • The Fiction of Memory Versus Forgetting

    The Fiction of Memory Versus Forgetting

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 17: Read a few writings of Kafka and you will notice something under your shoes; and this ground that you are standing upon, it would seem to collapse into an abyss of absurdist thoughts, thoughts that seek purpose, thoughts that would make you crawl under the bed and force you to die, a strange sense of metamorphosis, the one that woke Buddha up into a night and convinced him to leave his home and wife and children behind.

    When you discover something different from the sense of reality of other people; you are most prone to die, see for example, Galileo had to die for a discovery that the world did not buy into, Gregor Samsa of Kafka’s novel Metamorphosis too had to die because he discovered something strange in life, the realization of the absurdity of life, the utter sense of meaninglessness; the lie of life’s beauty shattered into pieces that one cannot collect.

    Since the emergence of human civilization, people had stories to tell and philosophers had doubts to be solved. The favorite question was ‘who’s the creator of us all?’ and this gave rise to the ideas of religion, the craft of storytelling flourished and the masses turned into a herd of believers, but the doubters were doubters still. For a story to survive, there should always be a believer. For the first quarter of 20th century, we enjoyed stories of human origin, the stories of Adam and Eve and all, but after the two world wars, the human psyche got another prominent question, “the purpose of human life” and the utter meaninglessness of it. The present realities were troublesome and people found solace into the memories of past, memories of cities that were now standing upon the debris of restlessness, memories of people who were turned into vapors by atomic bombs.

    The fiction of memories is also the fiction of forgetting; memories make us forget our present life scenarios but can we ever forget our memories at all? What are memories made up of; and are they capable of preserving our reality? Now one might ask, what is this reality we are talking about? As the holy audience of Christopher Nolan, we might get into the debate of whether the reality we perceive is real or it’s a mere dream; and are we capable enough to perceive it at all? Yes, you got it right, the petty debate of forth dimension. I’m no Dostoevsky, I would no more talk sickness, let’s get onto the point. Let’s talk about two things, precisely. One is the fiction based upon memories, and the other one is the idea of forgetting. Both are quintessential to understand our clumsy quotidian life. I’m aware of the absurd nature of my petty trail of thoughts, and therefore I would limit this discussion to a single author and a single book of him, I would avoid the Jacques Derrida way of meaning of the meaning of the meaning here; now let’s start with an esteemed author of Indian Diaspora, he is none other than Salman Rushdie.

    In his essay collection ‘Imaginary Homelands’, Salman Rushdie makes a confession that the Bombay of his ‘Midnight’s Children’ is not the actual city of present-day reality, but it was the Bombay of his memories. When Rushdie wrote about Bombay while sitting in London, he just looked at his window at times and recalled the city as it was in his mind; the city where Rushdie grew up, the city of memories and imagination. The fiction came out of it was real, but somewhere lost in translation. However, the beauty of translation is that we gain something too. It happens with most of the Diasporic writers and expatriate writers that they have to write about their native lands relying upon their memories and imagination. Sometimes, to remember the past and at other times to forget their present agonies and sorrows. Sometimes, to get a sense of belonging, and at times to forget the foreign belongings that they had adapted in order to survive. When people are fed up of the absurdities of life, they would either wait for Godot or recall the toothpastes and chutneys of their memories. Forgetting requires transporting of Coleridge’s type, but when we are back to the routine, do we really forget anything? As the humans of post lapsarian era, are we really capable of forgetting? Do we forget or do we get distracted? The literature written around memory and forgetting would make you question your realities. In the end you will realize that memory is nothing but a euphemism used for forgetting.

  • 2026 Gegeneophis valmiki Discovery: Rare Amphibian Unearthed in India

    2026 Gegeneophis valmiki Discovery: Rare Amphibian Unearthed in India

    Don’t expect flashy colours or big eyes. Gegeneophis valmiki is a blind caecilian, a rare amphibian that spends nearly its entire life underground. Its eyes are buried beneath bone. Its appearance? Earthworm-like. Its behaviour? Mostly subterranean.

    “This group of animals is incredibly difficult to study,” says K. P. Dinesh of the Zoological Survey of India. “They look so much like earthworms that even trained eyes might miss them.”

    Despite being hidden, Gegeneophis valmiki plays a vital role in ecosystem balance. It aerates soil, recycles nutrients, and maintains forest floors, quietly supporting life while larger creatures take the spotlight.

    Gegeneophis valmiki and India’s Biodiversity Hotspots

    • Ecological significance: Beyond aerating soil and recycling nutrients, Gegeneophis valmiki quietly maintains the health of the forest floor.

    • Biodiversity highlight: Its discovery underscores the Western Ghats as a hotspot for rare and undiscovered species.

    • Conservation impact: Documenting this species helps scientists and policymakers identify and protect critical habitats.

    • Scientific value: Each new find adds knowledge to India’s biodiversity records and informs global ecological research.

    The Discovery That Got Buried Underground.

    Finding the Valmiki Plateau in the Satara district of Maharashtra in 2017, K P Dinesh, a senior scientist at the Zoological Survey of India (ZSI). The majority of the citizens just passed by these soils without even a second thought. Dinesh didn’t. He discovered a worm-like animal that had never formally described before.

    Time travels to January 2026: the discovery has been published in an international journal called Phyllomedusa. It has been named Gegeneophis valmiki, after the ancient Maharshi Valmiki Mandir located in the surroundings. It is a small yet important species, and Indian scientists deserve credit for putting it on the map worldwide.

    The Importance of Science to Scientists — and to You.

    The Director of ZSI, Dhriti Banerjee, encapsulates it all in a succinct manner: 41 per cent of the world is on the verge of extinction. Others disappear before science even knows that they exist, what she terms as silent extinctions.

    That’s the real headline here. Gegeneophis valmiki is not a cool find. It is a warning. The undiscovered life in biodiversity hotspots is abundant such as the western ghats. Species documentation is important as it provides conservation with an opportunity to act before it is too late.

    The Race Against Silent Extinctions.

    Underground amphibians seldom have their time, in a world where large mammals and bright-colored birds are worshiped. However, they might vanish without any commotion, bringing with them the knowledge of the ecological habitat.

    The fact that Gegeneophis valmiki was discovered indicates that India is not waiting till it gets the fame or flash. They are diligently taking notes to make species known, named and conserved. And it may not be front page viral news, but it is the type of research that is long-term environmental health.

    The Biodiversity Hotspots of India in Focus

    The Western Ghats are not mere mountains. They’re a laboratory of life. It is a kind of melting pot with endemic frogs, rare reptiles and plants. Every new find, such as Gegeneophis valmiki, is a wake-up call that India still has its secrets hidden in the forests.

    Mapping of these species helps put conservation policy, forest management, and climate adaptation strategies into perspective. It’s not science for prestige. It’s a survival for ecosystems.

    In the end, Gegeneophis valmiki is more than just a rare amphibian. It is a reminder that nature often hides its treasures in plain sight, and discovery requires patience, curiosity, and a sharp eye. As K P Dinesh notes, “Even the smallest, most hidden creatures have stories worth telling.

    This discovery is a call to action: to explore, to document, and to protect India’s rich biodiversity. Because every species matters, seen or unseen, and every forest floor holds secrets waiting to be uncovered. In protecting the smallest life forms, we safeguard the future of the entire ecosystem.

  • Anthology ‘When Gods Don’t Matter’ unveiled at the Jaipur LitFest 2026 by culturist Sundeep Bhutoria

    Anthology ‘When Gods Don’t Matter’ unveiled at the Jaipur LitFest 2026 by culturist Sundeep Bhutoria

    Swati Vashishtha, Sundeep Bhutoria, Jagdeep Singh (author), Namita Gokhale and Sanjoy K Roy formally unveiling an anthology ‘When Gods Don’t Matter’ at the Jaipur LitFest 2026

    Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], January 17: A deeply reflective and intellectually stimulating session titled “When Gods Don’t Matter” captivated audiences at the Jaipur Literature Festival (JLF) 2026 at the AAF Bagaan venue. The session marked the unveiling of poet and PR professional Jagdeep Singh’s latest poetry anthology, When Gods Don’t Matter.

    Jagdeep Singh was in conversation with senior journalist and writer Swati Vashishtha, as they explored the philosophical, emotional, and existential layers of his poetry. The book was formally unveiled by author and culturist Sundeep Bhutoria, alongside Festival Co-Director Namita Gokhale and Sanjoy K. Roy, Managing Director, Teamwork Arts.

    During the discussion, Jagdeep Singh reflected on the core themes that shape his work—belief and doubt, identity, vulnerability, and the evolving human condition in a rapidly changing world. He shared that When Gods Don’t Matter is born out of lived experience and introspection, where poetry becomes a space to confront silence, faith, and personal truth.

    Guiding the conversation, Swati Vashishtha examined the role and relevance of poetry in contemporary times, noting how modern verse often moves away from the divine towards the deeply personal and social. The dialogue highlighted how Jagdeep Singh’s poetry resonates with readers navigating uncertainty, the loss of absolutes, and the search for meaning beyond traditional belief systems.

    Speaking on the occasion, Jagdeep Singh remarked that poetry, for him, is not about providing answers but about asking honest questions. He emphasised that When Gods Don’t Matter seeks to articulate moments when human vulnerability, nostalgia, and compassion take precedence over ideology or rigid belief structures.

    Adding an evocative and intimate dimension to the session, Jagdeep Singh also recited three to four poems from the collection, offering the audience a direct encounter with the emotional depth and sensitivity that define his work.

    Sharing his thoughts at the launch, Sundeep Bhutoria said, “I have known Jagdeep Singh for more than a decade now. I didn’t know that he could write poems as well, apart from being a hardcore PR professional. He is such a humble human being, with a heart for poetry.”

The event expects over 250 participants from FMCG, luxury hospitality, education, certification bodies, and policy circles to drive real progress in verified vegetarian and vegan food systems.

    SATCON 2026 centres on three pillars: Consciousness, Connect, and Collaboration to create a more aware and interconnected food industry. With people and partners coming from seven countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the UAE, Qatar, and South Korea, the event gives everyone a practical chance to exchange what works, build new working relationships, and spark changes that line up with what today’s consumers and brands are demanding.

    Abhishek Biswas, Founder of Sattvik Certifications, said: “ I am truly grateful to every dignitary, partner, and stakeholder who believes in the Sattvik philosophy,  Sattvik hai to shuddh hai. This conclave represents years of purpose-driven work towards creating a safer, more conscious food ecosystem. Our aim is to connect intent with action, policy with practice, and purity with progress.”

    The full-day event features insightful panels on education for Sattvik awareness, vegetarian opportunities in luxury hospitality, conscious leadership strategies, mindful culinary approaches, and global food standards. High-level inauguration and closing sessions reinforce collaborative pathways for stronger compliance, safety, and ethical consumption.

    Chief Guests Shri Santosh Gangwar Ji, Shri B.L. Verma, and Shri Arjun Ram Meghwal highlighted the event’s role in bridging gaps between stakeholders.

    “Conclaves such as SATCON 2026 play a crucial role in building a strong and meaningful bridge between industry, policymakers, and consumers.” Said Shri Santosh Gangwar Ji, Governor of Jharkhand and former Union Minister.  “By encouraging dialogue, knowledge-sharing, and collaboration, such platforms help align regulatory intent with industry practices and consumer expectations, thereby contributing to a more resilient, transparent, and responsible food ecosystem for the nation.”

    SATCON 2026 aims to bridge industry practices with regulatory frameworks and consumer expectations through panel discussions, keynote addresses, and networking sessions. It will set a real benchmark by bringing together people from across the food world to turn talk about ethical standards into concrete steps that actually help consumers, companies, and the wider industry. 

    Shri B.L. Verma, Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment and Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, stated, “Consumer trust is the cornerstone of a strong food economy. Initiatives like SATCON 2026 by Sattvik Certifications play an important role in strengthening transparency, accountability, and safety across the food value chain.”

    Rooted in Vedic principles of purity and balance, the event convenes leaders from FMCG, luxury hospitality, education, and certification sectors along with international representatives for targeted discussions on education-driven awareness, market opportunities in conscious hospitality, leadership strategies for ethical growth, mindful culinary practices, and the establishment of global benchmarks in food safety, sustainability, and compliance.

    Shri Arjun Ram Meghwal, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Law and Justice, remarked: “When industry, certification bodies, and policymakers engage constructively, it leads to better implementation of laws and higher compliance standards. SATCON 2026 is an important step in this direction.”

    Being the first event focused entirely on vegetarian certification, it shows how much demand there is worldwide for properly verified vegetarian and vegan options built on purity, sustainability, and real trust. This is the kind of platform that helps move the whole sector toward more responsible practices. Sattvik Certifications is lining up to keep the energy going, all under the banner of #sattvikhaitoshuddhhai.

  • The Tradition Meets Urban Life: tattv reinvents Indian Bathing Rituals to the contemporary Metro way of life

    The Tradition Meets Urban Life: tattv reinvents Indian Bathing Rituals to the contemporary Metro way of life

    New Delhi [India], January 17: In a traditional Indian homes bathing was more than cleansing because they were based on nature and nurturing. Boiled neem water to cleanse the skin, freshly made ubtan to exfoliate and brighten, cooling herbs to cool in the heat, floral waters to calm and refresh, it was all purposeful and all related to seasons and skin requirements. These were not luxuries; they were family traditions.

    However, modern metro lives, with their rush, lack of space, time constraints, and more, have rendered traditional rituals hard to sustain. Spraying powders and drains, splattering pastes on tiles, and the necessity to wash dishes after taking a bath make nourishing practices a burden. This usually compels the urban consumers to make a decision between good ingredients and everyday convenience.

    tattv fills this gap by re-creating the old wisdom of bathing into contemporary, daily practical rituals. Its pH-balanced bathing bars are made by hand with natural and elemental ingredients, and their benefits of the past are retained without the inconvenience that was originally linked to them.

    Niraj Jain, Founder, tattv, said:

    “tattv was born from a very simple observation, our traditional bathing wisdom was never flawed, it just no longer fit the way we live today. We wanted to preserve the integrity of those ingredients and rituals, while redesigning them for modern homes, modern schedules, and modern expectations. What makes us happiest is seeing customers tell us that their skin feels healthier, their bathrooms feel calmer, and their daily routine feels more intentional. That tells us we’ve achieved what we set out to do, that is creating a brand that respects tradition, values simplicity, and delivers thoughtful, effective care without compromise.”

    A philosophy of the brand is based on the simplicity, purpose, and respect, towards the skin, towards space, towards conscious living. All bathing bars are sulphate-free, paraben-free, harsh-detergents-free, and each has a specific benefit, such as deep cleansing and oil control, hydration and soothing nourishment.

    Skin pH balance is central to tattv’s formulation approach. Natural skin has a pH of slightly acidic and most conventional soaps disturb this pH, resulting in skin drying, irritation, and sensitivity. tattv bars are created to clean without disrupting the natural oils and promote long-term skin health over short-term surface outcomes.

    tattv is also aware of the requirements of the modern bathrooms. The brand replaces powders on the floor, residue in the drain, and the use of bowls or additional clean-up since traditional ingredients are turned into solid bars, which makes it possible to perform self-care rituals even in small areas.

    In addition to their skincare properties, tattv bathing bars naturally cleanse bathrooms by using herbs and botanicals to counter-odorize the air-and this is the added advantage of body care and air care without the use of artificial fresheners.

    tattv is not one size fits all: the products are tailored to various skin types, seasons, and even sensory inclinations. With elemental inspirations, Tattv offers products in only 5 categories – Agni, Jal, Vayu, Akasa and Prithvi. The products are formulated using ingredients from these categories only. E.g – Agni category has Activated Charcoal Bathing bar because Charcoal is derived from Agni. As these 5 tattv’s are linked to Zodiac signs, the variations boast personality characteristics and preferences as customers love selecting the products according to their signs, thus portraying an element of self-expression instead of only astrological effectiveness.

    The tattv experience is embedded with transparency and accountability. All bathing bars are packed in reusable tin boxes and are covered in compostable corn-based plastic. Synthetic accessories are substituted by natural jute loofahs, and a pH test kit is provided with each bar to allow the users to check the skin-friendly formulation themselves, which strengthens the trust and education and the use of the product.

    The mission of the brand appeals to conscious consumers, in particular, busy people, families, and conscious urban residents who desire meaningful wellness but are not complicated by it. tattv is a brand that promotes self-care as a refined, efficient, and grounded ritual that can easily fit into modern lifestyles.

    Thoughtfully designed, deliberate ingredient-integrity, and a holistic user experience, unboxing to daily use, tattv is transforming Indian bathing rituals for the modern metro cities and making meaningful tradition relevant and lived.

    Tradition, refined. Ritual, transformed. Daily care, redefined.
