  Kabaddi was once a staple in Indian school grounds and rural fields. You didn’t need fancy equipment—just a few people and a bit of space. But over time, cricket and football became more popular. For a while, Kabbadi faded into the background. That’s changing now. Thanks to professional leagues and better media coverage, Kabbadi is seeing a massive revival. The Pro Kabaddi League (PKL), launched in 2014, played a major role in making the sport exciting again. With lights, music, and real-time action, it feels more like watching an edge-of-the-seat film like Chak De! India —only this time, the spotlight is on Kabbadi warriors. Why are the Youth Watching Again? A few years ago, Kabaddi didn’t have many fans in urban areas. But today, it’s on TV, YouTube, and even Instagram reels. People now know the names of players like Pardeep Narwal and Rahul Chaudhari. The action is raw, the matches are short, and the strategy is clever. For young audiences who love fast-paced games, Kabbadi is...

The announcement, made on April 22, 2025, signals a focused attempt by the company to increase its footprint in a growing area of consumer credit, especially across Tier 2 and Tier 3 regions.

We use screens every day. Phones, laptops, tablets, and even smartwatches. Most of us don’t even realise how much time we spend looking at them. But over time, this constant screen exposure affects our eyes. This condition is called Digital Eye Strain or Computer Vision Syndrome. It may sound simple, but it can lead to serious discomfort. How It Begins? You open your laptop for work or class. Minutes turn into hours. Before you know it, your eyes feel dry. Your vision becomes blurry. Maybe there’s a mild headache or your neck feels stiff. These are common signs. A 2022 report in The Lancet Digital Health found that over 50% of people using screens for more than 6 hours a day experience these symptoms. Why Does It Happen? Our eyes aren’t built to stare at screens for long. When we look at a screen, we blink less. This leads to dryness. The screen’s brightness and blue light strain our eyes further. Constant focusing and shifting between devices also tires the eye muscles. It’s like mak...

Pune is often called the cultural capital of Maharashtra. It balances tradition with modern life. While it has grown into a bustling IT and education hub, its roots go deep into history. Once home to the Peshwas of the Maratha Empire, Pune still carries echoes of its royal past. Forts like Shaniwar Wada and Lal Mahal remind you that the city has stories to tell. Peaceful Corners in a Busy City Though Pune is growing fast, it offers peaceful pockets. Places like Saras Baug and Parvati Hill are quiet spots for reflection. A walk up the steps of Parvati gives you a bird’s-eye view of the city. The simplicity and calm there remind many visitors of scenes from the movie The Lunchbox —slow, steady, and filled with emotion. A Home for Students and Thinkers Pune is known for its colleges and universities. Fergusson College, Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), and Symbiosis are just a few. Students from across the country come here to learn, explore, and find their voice. The atmosph...

Your credit score is more than just a number. It plays a crucial role in determining your financial credibility and affects your access to loans, credit cards, and even job opportunities in some sectors. Understanding how it works and how to improve it is essential for anyone managing their personal finances. What Is a Credit Score? A credit score is a three-digit number that represents your creditworthiness. In India, this score is usually provided by credit bureaus like CIBIL, Experian, or Equifax. The score typically ranges from 300 to 900. The higher your score, the better your chances of getting approved for credit at favorable terms. Factors That Affect Your Credit Score Several key factors influence your credit score. The most important is your repayment history. Consistently paying your credit card bills and EMIs on time helps build a strong score. Other factors include your credit utilization ratio, the length of your credit history, types of credit used (like loans and credit...

Spiti Valley is tucked away in the cold desert mountains of Himachal Pradesh. Sandwiched between Tibet and India, it remains one of the most stunning yet lesser-known travel destinations. Unlike touristy places like Manali or Shimla, Spiti offers something deeper—silence, space, and stillness. With its jagged cliffs, ancient monasteries, and sky so blue it looks painted, Spiti doesn’t try to impress. It just exists in all its untouched beauty. The air is thin, the people are kind, and the journey is unforgettable. Getting There is Half the Experience Reaching Spiti requires effort, and that's what makes it so special. There are two main routes—via Shimla or via Manali. The Manali-Kaza road is shorter but more rugged and is open only from June to October. The Shimla route is longer but stays open for a longer period in the year. The drive is adventurous. Roads wind through mountains and hug steep cliffs. Landslides are common, and phone signals fade in and out. Yet, every curve reve...
