Decoding Nick Jonas’ morning routine

3 min readNew DelhiJun 15, 2026 01:00 AM IST Nick Jonas starts his mornings with a tall glass of celery juice. “This beautiful green juice. A hint of lemon. It’s great for the digestive system, gut health and detoxing,” he told Vogue India in a recent interaction. As for his beauty secrets, the pop star shared that his mother “always emphasised the importance of wearing sunscreen”. “As I grew older, I liked to make sure I wasn’t getting sunburnt while I was out playing golf. So, I would definitely stress out about sunscreen,” he shared. Next up, an ice facial. “It awakens the vagus nerve, which alerts your brain that it’s time to get your day going and makes you feel fresh as a daisy,” Jonas revealed. That’s followed by a cleanser, an eye mask, a serum and moisturiser. The last step is using a broad-spectrum sunscreen. A bit of lip balm and a pomade to slick back the hair adds the finishing touch.

Decoding BJP’s Bengal sweep: 77 seats won in 2021 retained, 129 wrested from TMC | Political Pulse News

In its first ever Assembly election victory in West Bengal, the BJP not only managed to retain all 77 seats it had won in the 2021 polls, but it also flipped 129 seats from the Trinamool Congress (TMC), concentrated in the state’s southern districts, once known to be the Mamata Banerjee-led party’s stronghold. An analysis of the results shows that across all 293 seats where polling has been held, 135 seats have changed hands between the 2021 and 2026 elections. While the TMC ceded 129 seats to the BJP, it also lost 2 seats each to the Congress and Humayun Kabir-led Aam Janata Unnayan (AJU) and 1 to the CPI(M). The BJP also picked up the Kalimpong seat from the Bharatiya Gorkha Prajatantrik Morcha. The TMC, however, failed to flip any seats from other parties. While the BJP was able to retain all 77 seats it had won in 2021, the TMC only retained 80 of the 215 seats it had won five years ago. The Indian Secular Front (ISF) retained the Bhangore seat, the …

Decoding the Bengal turnout saurge: SIR effect, dip in absolute numbers | Political Pulse News

Polling in the first phase of the West Bengal Assembly elections Thursday set a new record of voter turnout over 92%, more than 10 percentage points higher than the 2021 turnout. This reflects not just the deletion of electors – deceased, shifted, absent, duplicate – from the rolls during the Special Intensive Revision, bringing down the overall base and enhancing the percentage, it also points to robust voting by those who had cleared the Election Commission’s SIR test. The ruling TMC and challenger BJP interpreted this record turnout in opposing ways, each announcing a mandate in its favour and the beginning of the end of the other. While the turnout saw a record spike, the number of voters in absolute terms was over 12% lower than the number for votes cast in these 152 constituencies in 2021. According to the provisional turnout figures, around 47 lakh fewer people voted in these seats this time compared to 2021. Started in October last year, the SIR of electoral rolls led to a total of 91 lakh electors …
