India shined bright throughout the 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, and the closing ceremony was truly a cherry on the cake. Filmmaker Payal Kapadia made history on May 25, bagging the Grand Prix Award for the film All We Imagine As Light.

It was the first Indian film to feature in the festival’s main segment in 30 years. The last Indian movie to make it to the competition section was Shaji N Karun’s Swaham in 1994. This has…

I’ve had a bit of a love-hate relationship with the PlayStation Portal since it launched. Initially, I was disappointed by Sony’s cloud streaming device. I was impressed with its screen and appreciated its DualSense integration, but its slimmeddown features made it feel like a cheap version of a good idea. I’ve since learned to find a use case for my PlayStation Portal that turned it into an integral part of my gaming setup. It’s very imperfect, but that doesn’t mean it’s not useful. Ever since its launch, I’ve been hoping for a refreshed follow-up, whether that be a Pro model…

Did you know that although your brain is the most powerful organ in the body, it prefers not to expend energy? In fact, it thrives in its comfort zone. However, pushing it beyond that zone leads to tremendous growth and success. Dr. Sweta Adatia, a pioneering neurologist currently heading the Neurology Department at Gargash Hospital in Dubai, advocates this principle, which she affectionately calls ‘romancing the brain’. “There are no ‘good’ brains or ‘bad’ brains, only prepared and unprepared ones. The brain is a very plastic organ that can adapt and expand. By channelling the powers of your brain, habits…

Dubai’s real estate market is expected to see a rise in tenants moving out of their rented properties in the coming months. This trend is driven by several factors, including the easing of rent hikes in certain areas, an updated Rera rental calculator allowing for potential rate increase, and an increased supply of new residential units. However, some analysts and industry executives say that the high cost of moving could also prompt other tenants to reconsider relocating. Rent renewals in Dubai saw a 12 per cent year-on-year increase in the first quarter of 2024, with numerous tenants consenting to above-average…

Since not everyone with ambitions of global fame can afford a professional-grade movie camera, the mobile phone manufacturers have…
