From Noida lab, a next gen cancer therapy that keeps it from coming back | Health and Wellness News

Published by Parlour News

With cancer incidence on the rise — and the cost of newer therapies keeping them out of reach of most — there has been a race to develop CAR-T cell therapies for Indian patients. Among researchers dedicated to lengthening the life span of survivors are those sitting in an unassuming building in the heart of Noida, who have been working tirelessly through the pandemic to develop therapies that are not just cost-effective but also innovative. CAR T cell therapies — or chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapies — collect a patient’s own immune T cells, re-engineer them in the laboratory, multiply them and then infuse them back into the patient. These engineered T cells can then identify the cancer cells, attach themselves to them, ultimately destroying them. The latest innovation is about making them more persistent against a relapse. Cellogen Therapeutics is set to begin human trials soon for its novel CAR-T therapy at Christian Medical College-Vellore. It can not only fight a patient’s current cancer but also create a memory in the body’s immune …

How world yogasana championships brought Mauritius’ Gen Z closer to its Indian roots

How world yogasana championships brought Mauritius’ Gen Z closer to its Indian roots

Published by Webster

For many young people in Mauritius, India is a place they have heard about in family stories but never seen. The names of ancestral villages in states like Bihar and Tamil Nadu have faded over generations, family records have been lost, and what remains are fragments of a journey that began more than a century ago when their forebears crossed the Indian Ocean in search of a new life. This week, however, the first-ever World Yogasana Championships in Ahmedabad became an unlikely bridge between those distant memories and a new generation eager to understand where they came from. Among those making the journey were Mauritian athletes Chethnaa Reesaul, Parineeti Kalkah and Ganisha Bajah, all of whom trace their roots to Bihar. Aarya Chelumbrun’s family is from Tamil Nadu, while Dakshesh Sai Joorun’s mother is from Tamil Nadu while his father’s side traces its origins to Bihar. For all five athletes, the trip to Ahmedabad was about much more than competing on the world stage. It was their first opportunity to set foot in the country …

BJP plans to allay Gen Z concerns, sharpen outreach

BJP plans to allay Gen Z concerns, sharpen outreach

Published by Parlour News

NEW DELHI: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is working to reset the narrative that the party was indifferent to the concerns of young people in the wake of controversies around examination irregularities, a senior leader said on Tuesday, adding that a large chunk of the so-called Gen Z cannot be described as “anti-establishment”. BJP plans to allay Gen Z concerns, sharpen outreach “The entire Gen Z is not disruptive…nor can their concerns be compared to what happened in Bangladesh or Nepal. The youth in India is responsible and aware; and we need to use their energy constructively,” said the senior party leader, speaking on condition of anonymity. The comments come against the backdrop of resentment over the cancellation of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test this year, and irregularities in the evaluation of the Central Board of Secondary Examination Class 12 papers. A controversial comment by the Chief Justice of India also triggered an Instagram trend that was followed by millions but an outfit that grew out of it drew only a lukewarm response at …

Why Sonakshi Sinha Was Shocked by Gen Z’s Texting Etiquette

Why Sonakshi Sinha Was Shocked by Gen Z’s Texting Etiquette

Published by Parlour News

A simple “k” while responding to messages may look harmless, but for many people, it can instantly trigger overthinking. Did they get annoyed? Are they upset? Is the conversation over? In a recent episode of Baatcheet with Yuvaa, Sonakshi Sinha was asked which text reply she finds a little suspicious: “hmm”, “k” or a thumbs up emoji. Her answer was immediate. “K to should be illegal. It causes most anxiety, I think.” The conversation then moved to a report suggesting that many Gen Z users perceive full stops and thumbs-up emojis as passive-aggressive in text messages. The actor appeared surprised to learn that even ending a message with a full stop can sometimes be interpreted as rude. While the idea may sound exaggerated to some, psychologists say there is a reason these tiny digital cues can trigger strong emotional reactions. DISCLAIMER: This article is based on information from the public domain and/or the experts we spoke to. Why does “k” make people anxious? According to Dhara Ghuntla, psychologist and psychotherapist affiliated with Sujay Hospital, SevenHills Hospital …

Imtiaz Ali Reflects on Love and Emotional Honesty in the Gen Z Era

Published by Parlour News

4 min readNew DelhiJun 7, 2026 01:00 AM IST Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali, synonymous with romance and iconic movies like Tamasha, Rockstar, and Laila Majnu, recently shared his insights on Gen Z’s understanding of love. In a podcast with Raj Shamani, Imitiaz explained that the younger generation may not be as different from previous generations as it appears, but they are more honest. Speaking about modern relationships and changing attitudes towards love, the director reflected on what young people often misunderstand about romance, arguing that their experiences mirror those of every generation before them. “Gen Z is getting the same thing wrong that anybody in their age in any generation has got wrong,” he said, stressing that the younger generation initially focuses on external qualities before gradually realising that love comes from within rather than from the person they idealise. “They look at the exterior, and gradually they realise that it is the interior… love does not exist in the person who is the object of your love but inside you,” he explained. Addressing the perception that …

According to her, this tempting delicacy is very popular in Uttar Pradesh. “Matthe ke Aloo (UP-style Mattha Aloo)” is a comforting, cooling, gut-friendly UP delicacy that tastes best with plain rice. Please try making it the way my mother makes it, you will love it!,” she shared on Instagram. “Since its nutrition week, I’ve cleared some myths around potatoes in the comments.” To corroborate her claims, indianexpress.com spoke to Pratibha Singh, Professor, Nutrition & Dietetics at Manav Rachna International Institute of Research & Studies, who said that potatoes are one of the most “misunderstood” food. She explained, “Potatoes are one of the most misunderstood foods. A boiled potato is actually low in fat and rich in complex carbohydrates, potassium, vitamin C, and resistant starch — which supports gut bacteria and helps maintain steady energy levels. It’s the deep-frying and excess salt that make potatoes “unhealthy,” not …

Is Gen Z lazy or are they saving us from burnout? A Teacher Weighs In

Published by Parlour News

4 min readMay 25, 2026 04:30 PM IST First published on: May 25, 2026 at 04:30 PM IST Social media and public discourse are flooded with memes about Gen Z in general, and more specifically, about its work ethic. Whether LinkedIn posts or Instagram reels, they tend to scorn this generation, which apparently comprises lazy work shirkers. In a scene from the recent Devil Wears Prada 2, watching Miranda Priestly (the editor-in-chief of the fashion magazine Runway) put her coat on the stand by herself, her ex-intern is taken by surprise – she was used to having it tossed at her. This is attributed to the new HR policy, introduced because “woke” children dislike having jackets flung at them. This becomes a testament to the fact that Gen Z value their self-worth and are not afraid to ask for what, in this case, is basic human decency. Those belonging to this generation are popularly construed as overgrown children instead of responsible adults who understand the weight of their actions. They are often contrasted with millennials, …
