Every Year After web series review Cast: Sadie Soverall, Matt Cornett, Michael Bradway, Abigail Cowen, Joseph Chiu, Aurora PerrineauShowrunner: Amy B. Harris Rating: ★★.5 Prime Video has become the go-to destination for swoony romance adaptations. The formula is familiar by now: a bestselling book adaptation, a soundtrack packed with songs destined for your playlists, and attractive people carrying years of unresolved feelings while exchanging longing glances in beautiful locations. It is a formula that continues to work. The Summer I Turned Pretty turned teenage heartbreak into a phenomenon. The Culpables franchise proved yearning resonates across languages. Maxton Hall hooked audiences with its crackling tension, while Off Campus showed that college romances can be just as messy and addictive. Sadie Soverall and Matt Cornett in a still from Every Year After, (Prime Video) Now, Prime Video is betting on another beloved love story. Every Year After adapts Carley Fortune’s bestselling 2022 novel Every Summer After, a BookTok favourite that built a passionate fanbase around its tale of first love, heartbreak and second chances.

Viraha: Understanding the sacred ache of longing through Urdu poetry and the monsoon | Eye News

Published by Parlour News

It begins not with a sound, but with the absence of one. The room still holding the echo of laughter, the residue of revelry, the shimmer of voices that rose and receded, of glasses set down too quickly, of bodies that leaned in just a little too close, of eyes that promised something and meant something else. And now, nothing. Just the low, lingering, liquid hum of the sea pressing itself against Bombay’s edges, as if the city is breathing in my place, because I have forgotten how. This—this quiet, creeping, consuming ache—has a name. Viraha. In the languages of the subcontinent, Viraha is not simply longing, not merely missing someone. It is the sacred, searing space between presence and absence. It is love stretched across distance, across time, across impossibility. It is the moment when you are fine all day—fluid, functional, forward—until you are not. It is the body remembering what the world has taken away. It is desire without destination, devotion without fulfilment. It is grief that glows, absence that arrives, loss that …

Last Updated:February 15, 2026, 18:52 IST PM Modi told PTI the budget shows India’s drive to become a developed nation, calling it a “we are ready” moment inspired by preparation, not compulsion. Prime Minister Narendra Modi (File Photo/ANI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that the Union Budget 2026-27, which was presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on February 1, reflects “India’s yearning to become a developed nation”. In an exclusive interview with news agency PTI, the Prime Minister described the budget as a “we are ready” moment, born out of preparation and inspiration, rather than a “now or never” moment forced by compulsion. “None of our budgets are run-of-the-mill ‘bahi-khata’ documents; that’s not our approach,” he added. PM Modi pointed out that India is witnessing the most expansive infrastructure push in its history, built with future readiness in mind. He said, “India has to be strong and prepared at all times, and that is what we are doing,” referring to the defence budget and modernisation plans. ALSO READ: Budget 2026: Focus On Sustainable …

Welfare and not a yearning for popularity is what drives PM Modi, a rare thinker-leader

Published by Parlour News

Ayan Rand once said that ideas are the greatest and most crucial practical power on Earth. Going by the number of out-of-the-box ideas conceived by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the past 10 years, one is convinced about the place ideas and new forms of thinking have in his approach. As PM Modi turns, it is pertinent to look at this aspect of his personality. Progress and development have always had a central place in PM Modi’s thinking. Conscious of the huge expectations of the people, Modi has reassured them with his simple and easy-to-understand two-point agenda: Good governance and development. However, a deeper analysis will reveal three strands in his ideas-turned-slogans-turned-programmes/schemes. The first category is that of lofty ideals, appealing to people to aim high and think big, accompanied by an appeal to work towards the mission. The second strand is basically about conveying the government’s approach to the people. The third is public education, reaching out to people with an earnest appeal. He started with Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat, a project that later …
