Think about the last time you went somewhere nice. A beach, a concert, a family dinner, or just a café you’d been meaning to try. Chances are you took a photo. Then another. Maybe a video. You might have screenshot the menu, saved the location, and later put up a story. None of this feels strange anymore. It feels automatic. We live in a time when documenting life has become part of living it. Our phones are always there, ready to catch birthdays, sunsets, meals, holidays, conversations, and even the small moments that used to exist only in our heads.…

Scroll through Instagram in Mumbai this week and one word is everywhere: Garba. Outfits, dance practice reels, pass giveaways. That makes sense. Sharad Navratri begins on October 11, and for many Mumbaikars, nine nights of dancing is not just a plan. It is a tradition. But October in Mumbai is bigger than the dandiya floor. If Garba is not your thing, or you want something different between the nights, the city has a surprisingly full calendar. Here are some events worth putting in your phone. Let us start with the big one, since it will shape everyone’s month. Falguni Pathak…

Mumbai, October 1: Sometimes, what an elderly person needs is not just a blanket, a meal or a new piece of clothing. It is someone who sits beside them, listens to their stories and makes them feel remembered. That was the spirit behind a special initiative organised by the Shivani Sharma Foundation in collaboration with the Lions Club of Bombay Hilltop at a Vriddhashram in Mumbai on October 1, marking the International Day of Older Persons. The initiative focused on elderly women living at the old age home, with volunteers and guests spending time with the residents and sharing a…

October 2 is remembered in India for two towering figures of the freedom struggle and independent India: Mahatma Gandhi and former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri. While Gandhi Jayanti is widely known, Shastri Jayanti often receives less attention, even though Shastri’s life offers a remarkably simple story of public service. Born on October 2, 1904, in Mughalsarai, Uttar Pradesh, Lal Bahadur Shastri grew up in modest circumstances. His father, a schoolteacher, died when he was about a year and a half old, and he was raised by his mother. His childhood was not marked by privilege. As a young student…

A bus ticket may look like a small expense, but for someone who travels every day, those small amounts can quietly become a significant part of the monthly budget. For a student travelling to college, a woman going to work, or someone travelling to a hospital or another essential service, the cost of reaching a destination can sometimes influence whether that journey is made at all. This is the larger human story behind Tamil Nadu’s expanded Vettri Payanam free travel scheme, which was launched on October 2. At the launch in Chennai’s Koyambedu bus terminus, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C.…

Imagine receiving your first telephone call today, but there is no caller ID, no contact name and no screen telling you who is calling. You simply pick up a strange machine and hear a voice from somewhere far away. What would you say? Today, most of us would say “Hello?” without even thinking about it. But that tiny word was not created for the telephone. Instead, the arrival of the telephone helped give an old expression a completely new job. And the most interesting part is that even the first famous telephone conversation did not begin with “hello”. On March…
