Nothing about modern India is subtle. Not the news, not the opinions, not the contradictions.

The Nation Wants To Know takes it all the noise, the nuance, the nonsense and turns it into an hour of comedy that hits a little too close to home.

Featuring Anuvab Pal at his sharpest.

This World Music Day, follow your chosen path through the carousel and discover where it leads.

Music takes many forms, each with its own traditions, sounds, and stories. Yet across genres, it remains one of the most universal forms of expression. Whether through structure or improvisation, rhythm or melody, every genre offers a different way of experiencing the same art form.

Let us know in the comments, what path did you get?

This Father’s Day, we're celebrating the dad lore that never seems to run out.

The unexpected facts. The familiar stories. The confidently delivered reviews and observations.
You've heard them before. You'll probably hear them again. And somehow, every outing would feel incomplete without them.

Every dad has a signature line. What’s yours always saying at a performance?
