3 Premium Mid-Range Phones to Watch for in India’s 2026 Festive Sales

Image
Recent price rises, driven primarily by a global shortage of DRAM and NAND memory chips, have made a phone upgrade harder to justify. In fact, this has been a dampner as far as smartphone sales are concerned. With Flipkart Big Billion Days 2026 starting on 9 October (early access from 8 October for Plus and Black members) and Amazon’s Great Indian festive sale also around the corner, many buyers are eagerly looking forward to utilising the best possible deals on the best premium mid-range phones that deliver flagship-like features without the flagship price tag. If you plan to buy a premium mid range phone, this is a good time to shortlist models, and I want to help you with that. In the ₹55,000–₹70,000 segment, three phones stand out currently: the Vivo X200T , Motorola Signature , and Xiaomi 17T . All three launched earlier this year and remain excellent choices for people who want strong cameras, solid performance, premium displays and good battery life. Here’s a quick, practical co...

Thank you, Sir Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. Best wishes...

An era is going to end soon as Sachin Tendulkar announces his retirement after 200th test. I salute the little master for being such a great ambassador for the game of cricket. He has been an exceptional player of the game and his contribution will remain unforgettable. He gave us all a lot of joy and made the entire country proud on so many occasions. He has been a phenomenon in the world of cricket. And not only that, he is a true mascot of the gentlemen's game that cricket is. His conduct off the filed too has attracted immense admiration and respect. He is a legend in its true sense. Something's going to be amiss for me whenever I watch cricket after the upcoming two tests against West Indies. Thank you very much Master for bringing us all the glory and entertainment for unbelievably long period of 24 years. That itself speaks volumes of your persona. It has simply been enviable. Here's extending loads of love and best wishes to you for your future endeavors. I...

Satyagrah: A well intentioned cinematic effort.

Satyagrah by Prakash Jha is relevant and worth viewing. We should applaud any efforts made to sensitize the environment and the people amidst the turbulent times in our country. Never before did we need ourselves to be kept abreast with the fast changing scenario as we do now. Terms like Satyagrah, Swaraj, Freedom & Democracy, Honesty, Integrity etcetera hold prominence and each of one us needs to be aware of their true meaning. Compliments to the entire team of Satyagrah. It's a very well intentioned cinematic effort.

Nandini Srikar and her Indie Music Album Beete Pal

Image
How often would it happen that a singer of Hariharan’s repute hears you singing a few lines and asks you to sing more? It sounds like a thing of a beautiful dream; however, that’s exactly what happened with Nandini Srikar at a gathering during Pune festival. And it was quite dramatic as well. It so happened that the power went off during the event and people being aware that Hariharan was around requested him to sing. He didn’t sing but Nandini started singing one of his compositions. When the lights came on, Hariharan made her sing a few more songs. He was so impressed that he advised her to take up a career in singing. He was also ready to help her taking the first step in this direction. Needless to say this particular incident turned out to be a life changing event for Nandini Srikar. She got her first opportunity in a Tamil film called “ Uyirodu Uyiraga ” in 1998 in which she sang a duet called “I Love You” with KK. It was a hit. However, she had had her fair share of strug...

Arvind Kejriwal's Quest from Sundar Nagri to Sundar Nagri

Image
I find this video worth sharing as many times I can. Some people believe that Arvind Kejriwal has turned into a crusader overnight. It is a must watch video for them for they would then realize that the movement they are now seeing has been evolving for many years. This video footage shows various stages of an awareness campaign done by his NGO ‘Parivartan’ in 2002 . This was about the taxpayer’s money being looted in the name of various urban developmental activities shown on paper with very little or nothing being done actually. You would see how they went on to organize a first Jan-Sunwaayi or public hearing of its kind wherein thousands of people including locals, journalists, MLA, Mayor and people from various social organizations gathered. The hearing was presided over by the ex supreme court judge Justice P B Sawant. Arvind Kejriwal has actually written about the concept of Gram Sabhas and Mohalla Sabhas in his book titled Swaraj . We can very well see from this video that...

Where is our Freedom of Expression?

I heard through the media what Mr. Kamal Haasan had to say in the morning today. And I truly empathize with his emotional outburst about the possibility of leaving his homeland and even the country. He has undoubtedly been one of the great torch-bearers of the cinema in India. He is a great artist himself and he’s said to have invested 95 crore rupees for this movie. Just when the culmination of all hard work and investment was ready to be served, we started seeing this hullaballoo around his ambitious project Vishwaroopam’s release. So much so that the film has been banned in the state (Tamil Nadu) by a court order after the state government sought a stay referring to the requests from 23 opposing groups.   These groups feel that certain sections of the film hurt Islamic sentiments.   Now the big question here is that whether it is an isolated incident. Let’s have a look at a couple of and not so old events that speak similar stories: The release of the film “My Name Is K...

Ready for a new world order?

It's a rather sad morning today because of the reports of the brave young girl passing away in Singapore hospital. Perhaps she didn't want to come back to this world. But she does leave us all with a choice. Are we going to be continually held hold hostage to the rampaging callousness of this world or we are taking a stand and uniting towards making it better and safer for life to prosper holistically?? While her leaving us is truly heart-breaking, we ought to make sure that it does not let the fire die out. The efforts to restore sanity has to gain even more momentum so that the insanity and its perpetrators are kept at bay. The country awaits justice. And are we ready to restore a new world order?? RIP brave young soul :( Prayers...
