Modern society applauds work-life balance but ignores the fact that women bear a disproportionate share of emotional labour, caregiving and domestic duties. Author Aruna Joshi busts the myth of balance shaping womanhood. Mainstream history frequently sidelines the women of the Mughal era, relegating them to the passive shadows of the harem. However, Anoushka Jain’s new book 'Badass Begums: The Incredible Women Who Shaped Mughal India' (@harpercollinsin, ₹399) forcefully reclaims this narrative, illuminating the lives of 10 formidable women who wielded immense power from behind the purdah. Postpartum depression in India is not just a ‘private matter’ but a symptom of systemic neglect and a failure of public-health infrastructure. Rituals intended as care frequently become tools of emotional and social control, writes Dr Sapphire Mahmood Ahmed. When author Richa Tilokani faced repeated rejections from publishers, she applied the acceptance principle of Gyan Yoga to deal with the brush-off and bounce back. Foundations promise a flawless camera-ready complexion in a time of high-definition videos and closeups. But the variety is often mindboggling. In 'Inner Sense: How the New Science of Interoception Can Transform Your Health' (@Hachette_India, ₹799), science writer Caroline Williams explores “interoception”, one of our most mysterious senses, which she describes as “the sense of our own bodies from within… a catch-all term for the way the brain makes sense of signals and sensations that originate from inside our bodies.” A journey through Chanderi during its Eco Retreat Festival reveals shimmering weaves, haunting legends and architectural marvels. No wonder the filmmakers of superhit film ‘Stree’ chose this Madhya Pradesh gem as a backdrop, writes @sumanbajpai. An Afghan woman journalist learnt earlier this year that she had received an international media award in Delhi for her efforts to uphold women’s rights inside Afghanistan. But she was denied an Indian visa despite the best efforts of the organisers and well-wishers in India. As a production designer for the acclaimed Hindi film #Homebound (2025), India’s official entry for the 2026 Academy Awards in the Best International Feature Category, the most important aspect of Khyatee Mohan Kanchan’s work was to ensure that “the visual world felt authentic to the lives of marginalised, working-class characters and to avoid any glamourisation or fetishising of poverty”.
