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”. Bengaluru-based physician Dr Vaishnavi Pusapati discovered haiku well after becoming a doctor. Poetry shaped how she looked at suffering and survival, and taught her to listen, interpret and trace the slow art of healing. In a world that confuses aggression with confidence, and noise with importance, women leaders are showing that compassion is the invisible force that can heal divisions, dissolve fear and build trust, writes architect-turned-author Aruna Joshi @arunajoshiofficial. Though modern Muslim women in Kerala are excelling in their careers, their domestic duties and caregiving obligations remain unchanged. While protests and a government crackdown wrack the scenic Himalayan territory of Ladakh, one women-led enterprise is quietly rewriting the definition of tea, progress and sustainable entrepreneurship.
