Indulge - The New Indian Express

A playful deep dive into what your favourite Friends character quietly reveals about you. From chaos-coded charm to control disguised as care, each personality reflects a different emotional rhythm, coping style, and very honest way of loving, surviving, and overthinking life. . . . #sitcom #friends #tvseries #netflix #sitcomcharacters [Friends, rachel green, monica geller, ross geller, chandler bing, joey tribbiani, phoebe buffay, mike hannigan, janice litman, gunther, emily waltham, david crane, marta kauffman, nbc sitcom, sitcom, character psychology]

A curated descent into folklore horror where myth breathes, forests watch, and belief quietly turns dangerous. These films blur the line between superstition and reality, showing how fear, tradition, and the unseen can shape human behaviour in deeply unsettling yet strangely familiar ways. . . . #folklorehorror #horror #horrormovies #watchlist #bingewatch [Folklore horror, folklore movies, horror, horror movies, watchlist, binge watch, what to watch, The Witch, Robert Eggers, Anya Taylor Joy, Ralph Ineson, The Lighthouse, Robert Eggers, Robert Pattinson, Willem Dafoe, The Hollow, Henrik Martin Dahlsbakken, James D Arcy, Genevieve Angelson, November, Rainer Sarnet, Rea Lest, Jörgen Liik, Hagazussa, Lukas Feigelfeld, Aleksandra Cwen, Celina Peter, Exhuma, Jang Jae hyun, Choi Min sik, Kim Go eun, Apostle, Gareth Evans, Dan Stevens, Michael Sheen, Midsommar, Ari Aster, Florence Pugh, Jack Reynor, The Blood on Satan’s Claw, Piers Haggard, Patrick Wymark, Linda Hayden, Kill List, Ben Wheatley, Neil Maskell, Michael Smiley, Kwaidan, Masaki Kobayashi, Tatsuya Nakadai, Rentaro Mikuni, Onibaba, Kaneto Shindo, Nobuko Otowa, Jitsuko Yoshimura, The Medium, Banjong Pisanthanakun, Narilya Gulmongkolpech, Sawanee Utoomma, The Village, M Night Shyamalan, Bryce Dallas Howard, Joaquin Phoenix, Yakshi, K S Sethumadhavan, Sharada, Sathyan, Lapachhapi, Vishal Furia, Pooja Sawant, Vivek Chabukswar, Pari, Prosit Roy, Anushka Sharma, Parambrata Chatterjee, Jokhini, Chinmoy Barma]

Nature gathers in the soft fall of evening light, in reflections that tremble on water, in the slow memory of trees rooted deeper than time. The latest exhibition in town, Prakriti: A Quiet Continuum, curated by Ruchi Sharma, leans into this stillness, offering a contemplative pause where silent landscapes become both a site of observation and a space of inward return.

Not all ruins are empty—some echo louder than cities. From salt-swept towns to forgotten palaces, these abandoned places hold stories you can still walk through.

Having first won hearts as Anu in Drishyam, Esther Anil (@_estheranil ) has quite literally grown up on screen. She began acting at a young age, appearing in films like Oru Naal Varum (2010) before becoming widely recognised through Drishyam (2013) and its sequel Drishyam 2 (2021). Over the years, she has also been part of many other films too, while balancing her studies alongside. At one point, Esther even stepped away from films to focus on her education. But cinema, as she puts it, had other plans — bringing her back with Drishyam 3, a story and team she has literally grown up with. Now at 25, she finds herself in a space that feels both familiar and new. Read the full interview by Alwin Benjamin Soji (@al.ben.so ), link in bio.

Deepika Rathod (@deepika_rathod9 ) says, "I see it every single day. Young mothers, working professionals, and even teenagers are glued to their phones till 1 or 2 am, telling themselves, “Just five more minutes.” What they don’t realise is that they are slowly breaking the most powerful healing system their body has, and that is the deep, restorative sleep. Here's how to improve sleep naturally and wake up refreshed, she suggests. Link in bio.

They looked perfect under dramatic lighting, but took away the background score and things got messy. These Bollywood couples thrived in montages, not real life logistics.
