Beyond Cyber Hub: How global manufacturing is quietly reshaping the real estate map around Gurgaon | Delhi News

Published by Parlour News

For years, residential growth across the National Capital Region (NCR), especially around Gurgaon, has been overwhelmingly dominated by corporate offices, IT parks, and commercial business districts. Now, developers and industry experts say, a structural pivot is underway on the city’s fringes. Sustained industrial growth and global capital flowing into regions like Jhajjar and Manesar are now actively reshaping the NCR’s housing demand, pivoting the market from a purely corporate-driven model to a manufacturing-led one. Haryana currently hosts nearly 400 Japanese companies, cementing its position as one of the largest Japanese industrial bases in India. This manufacturing footprint across the automotive, engineering, and electronics sectors is being bolstered by fresh capital, including a proposed Rs 1,000 crore investment in Manesar by Japanese major Daikin Industries, announced earlier this year. The capital influx is bringing with it a steady stream of international technical experts and operational professionals, creating a demand for housing that prioritizes proximity to factory floors over the city skyline, experts opine. In Jhajjar, Reliance MET City, spread across 8,000 acres near the KMP Expressway, …

Elephants in the Fog review: Nepal’s Cannes Jury Prize winner is quietly powerful | Movie-review News

Elephants in the Fog review: Nepal’s Cannes Jury Prize winner is quietly powerful | Movie-review News

Published by Parlour News

Elephants In The Fog review: When you make a conscious choice of highlighting the kinnar community in a small Nepal town for a film that talks of love and pain and desire, and it gets selected at the 79th edition Cannes film festival, the first film from Nepal to have done so, it’s tempting to look at that choice as something that may appeal to a Western palate. But one of the best parts about Abhinash Bikram Shah’s debut feature, which created history not only for its selection but by winning the Jury Prize in the Un Certain Regards section, is that it doesn’t exoticise the Metis or the ‘third gender’. The community is legally recognised in Nepal, just as it is in India, and it is equally hard in both South Asian neighbours for individuals to garner respect or respectable jobs: they eke out a meagre living by singing and dancing at births and marriages. Pirati ( Pushpa Thing Lama), a middle-aged transwoman at the heart of this tender, affecting drama, falls in love …

How Heinrich Klaasen and Shreyas Iyer have quietly become the most valuable batters in IPL 2026 | Cricket News

Published by Webster

4 min readHyderabadMay 5, 2026 07:02 PM IST Number four is the position nobody wants until the game needs saving. Too early and you’re wasting resources; too late and the target is already out of reach. This season, two batters have made it look straightforward: Heinrich Klaasen for Sunrisers Hyderabad, Shreyas Iyer for Punjab Kings. They are the only two middle-order batters among the top 15 run-getters in IPL 2026. The other thirteen are top-order batsmen — openers, mostly, with Jos Buttler and Ishan Kishan coming in as the odd number threes. The position demands something different: the ability to walk in against fiery pacers when two wickets have fallen early, read the situation in three deliveries, and bat accordingly. Or walk in when 90 have already come in ten overs, and not slow that rate down. Very few have done it consistently. Suryakumar Yadav was one. Glenn Phillips another. Klaasen was not the designated number four for Sunrisers last year. Nitish Kumar Reddy was, and the biggest issue he faced was timing — either …

How a US Naval blockade is quietly suffocating Iran’s economy

How a US Naval blockade is quietly suffocating Iran’s economy

Published by Parlour News

3 min readNew DelhiMay 1, 2026 05:23 PM IST A US naval blockade of Iranian ports has shrunk Tehran’s oil exports, stranding a growing stockpile of crude on tankers as Iranian storage sites run out of space, shipping data showed, and analysts said. With some vessels switching off tracking systems and US forces turning back Iranian tankers, how much crude Iran is delivering to customers, particularly its main customer, China, is impossible to measure. Just a handful of carriers carrying Iranian ⁠crude have ​left the Gulf of Oman between April 13 and 25, oil analytics firm Vortexa said. That’s down over 80% from a comparable period in March, when Iran exported 23.4 million barrels, LSEG data shows. Some of Tehran’s vessels have been intercepted by the US after leaving Iranian ports, along with sanctioned container ships and Iranian tankers in Asian waters. EXACERBATING WIDER MARKET ​TIGHTNESS “At ​this stage, we estimate that around 4 million barrels of Iranian ⁠crude has successfully moved out of the Gulf of Oman.

Actor Salman Khan has been funding healthcare and education for many since 2007 through his Being Human foundation. One such beneficiary has been Reena Raju from Karnataka, who had to undergo not one, but two heart transplants. On the Voice of Bengaluru podcast with RJ Sowjanya, Reena revealed how Salman quietly supported her through it all. Reena Raju says Salman Khan has supported her through two heart transplants. Reena Raju says Salman Khan was supportive as she went through transplants When Reena was asked about her long association with Salman, she smiled and replied, “I will get emotional speaking about Salman sir. First of all, let me say, I love him with all my three hearts and my soul. When I was not well and before my first heart transplant, I had his number. So many people must message him, but he replied, and I told him I’m going through a heart transplant. He was shooting in Australia at that time. He called on the night of my transplant and spoke to us for almost …

The Dell 32 Plus 4K QD-OLED S3225QS monitor is not specifically an office or a gaming monitor, and my two weeks of usage made that very clear.

Mumbai man explains how a common restaurant practice quietly pushes diners to spend more: ‘Decision is made for you’

Mumbai man explains how a common restaurant practice quietly pushes diners to spend more: ‘Decision is made for you’

Published by Parlour News

A Mumbai-based entrepreneur has sparked a discussion online after explaining how a common restaurant practice can lead people to spend money without actively choosing to. The post has left users divided over whether the practice is problematic or simply part of doing business. (Unsplash/Representational image ) Taking to X, Chanakya Shah, co-founder of hydration supplement brand UP&RUN, pointed out how many restaurants place a bottle of water on the table even before customers place an order. He said that what was once an ₹15 mineral water bottle is now often replaced with ₹60 options or premium labels like Vedica and Himalayan. In his post, Shah argued that this subtle placement acts as a default, nudging customers into spending more. “When something is already placed in front of you, it feels like the default choice. Saying no suddenly requires effort. Asking for a cheaper option feels awkward, so people just go with what’s already there. Customers end up spending more without ever actively choosing to,” he wrote. Shah suggested that a more transparent approach would be …

As Trump pushes for a deal with Iran, is Israel quietly making peace impossible in Middle East war?

As Trump pushes for a deal with Iran, is Israel quietly making peace impossible in Middle East war?

Published by Parlour News

Published on Mar 27, 2026 01:44 am IST This war was supposed to be quick. Clean. Controlled. But weeks in, the signals are colliding and the real battle may no longer be on the battlefield. Is Donald Trump trying to end a war that Benjamin Netanyahu is not ready to stop? Because behind the airstrikes, a quieter story is unfolding. Washington is floating a deal with Iran, one that demands dismantling its nuclear and missile capabilities in exchange for sanctions relief. Tehran is rejecting it. And Israel appears to be raising the bar so high that diplomacy itself starts to collapse. So what’s really happening here? Are the United States and Israel still aligned or are they now pulling in opposite directions? Is Israel deliberately making a deal impossible? And if Trump wants an exit before elections and rising oil prices tighten the pressure at home, can he afford an ally that refuses to pause? Ultimately, this may not just be about ending a war. It may be about who decides how it ends.   …

The man who gives: How Sachin Tendulkar has quietly shaped Indian cricket’s greatest careers — one phone call at a time | Cricket News

Published by Webster

About half an hour after a long telephonic interview on batting, the mobile rang again. It was Sachin Tendulkar. He had been thinking about a question he had already answered and wanted to add more. Even if he hadn’t called, it would have been fine. The prized interview was anyway glittering with light he had thrown on the nuance of batting. But that’s Tendulkar — no half-measures when it comes to sharing, or availing, cricketing wisdom. This last Saturday, the night before the World T20 final, it was fine if Tendulkar hadn’t called Sanju Samson, the batsman who had reached out to him several months back and had been in constant touch since. Almost nursed back to form by Indian cricket’s habitual healer, Sanju had touched peak form in the two games leading to the final. Now came the biggest night, with sky-high expectations and the law of averages waiting. Tendulkar had been busy, festivities at home. But like his late father Ramesh Tendulkar, the popular Marathi literature professor known for lovingly hand-holding his struggling …
