Who's afraid of Iran's missiles?
Give a dog a bad name and hang him—so goes an English proverb. That's what's happening to Iran now at the hands of Don Trump and Bibi Netanyahu.

AI dreams and blocked pipes
I can't see the clogged toilet pipes of the world's most expensive and advanced aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, currently stationed in the eastern Mediterranean on a mission to punish Iran into abject surrender, as anything but symbolic.

Rejoinder to the column by Mahua Moitra
This is with reference to Ms Mahua Moitra's column, 'Hard questions for Hardeep' (March 1, 2026). The column dresses up insinuation as accountability, builds its narrative on inflated arithmetic, and invites the reader to mistake volume and vocabulary for evidence. The record does not support her leaps. But before we examine the substance of what she claims, the reader is entitled to consider who is making the claim—because the messenger, in this case, is the message.

The pause that matters
In many parts of the world, including India, a quiet but pivotal shift is unfolding. Women are living longer, fuller lives, and daughters are outpacing their mothers in education, careers and ambition. Even so, one of the most important transitions in a woman's health journey is only now receiving the attention it deserves. Menopause is increasingly being understood not as an ending to be endured, but as a turning point shaping long-term health and vitality.

Mapping the ego
For decades, we have treated maps as the homework of grumpy geography teachers— all coloured pencils and scale ratios. But as the recent headlines suggest, a map isn’t just a guide to where you are; it is an advertisement of where you want to be. We are witnessing the evolution of maps from the schoolroom to the war room, transitioning from the classroom through the era of “cartographic aggression” to the polite, yet pointed, “cartographic diplomacy”.

Power without maturity
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the worst of them all? If the question is about Roman emperors, many historians would say it is the narcissistic Nero. He demanded flattery, renamed institutions after himself, built a gold-leafed palace, installed a 100-foot statute of himself and wanted to rename Rome “Neropolis”.

Weathering the storm: My battle with dengue
Life can change its course like a ship in the blink of an eye with hard starboard or hard port. I had always prided myself on leading a disciplined lifestyle, with two hours of daily exercise, a balanced diet and a belief that these would be enough to keep a 58-year-old biological body shipshape, ready to weather any storm. Little did I imagine that I would one day drop anchor in a hospital bed.
