Lifestyle: Food, Festivals, Health and Real-Life Stories

You’ll find lifestyle pieces that matter — simple recipes, festival guides, personal essays, and practical health updates. This section brings everyday life into focus with stories you can use right now: how to cook for celebrations, what people are saying about diet changes, and the human side of big news.

Food & Festivals

Want easy recipes for family gatherings? Check our vegetarian Chinese New Year ideas that swap traditional dishes for plant-based versions without losing meaning. Try a Longevity Noodle recipe that uses simple pantry ingredients or a quick dumpling filling you can make ahead. If you’re celebrating Raksha Bandhan, you’ll find short, heartfelt quotes and message ideas to send when you can’t be there in person. These bits are practical: quick swaps, timing tips, and how to make food prep stress-free for a crowd.

People, Choices and Culture

We publish personal essays that make you think — like a writer’s honest take on leaving vegetarianism. Those pieces aren’t lectures. They’re real accounts that explain why someone changed their diet and what they learned. Read them if you want perspectives, not a debate. Our hidden-stories features dig up surprising local tales and human-interest reports you probably haven’t heard before. They’re short reads with clear facts and a few memorable details, so you get the point fast.

Big events and celebrity stories make this section feel lively. For example, the Ambani pre-wedding coverage shows how culture and money mix at huge public celebrations. We break down the facts: who was there, what made it news, and why it mattered — without glamourizing the cost.

Health updates belong in lifestyle too. If a viral illness pops up, we cover what happened, who’s affected, and what authorities recommend. Our South Africa mpox report explains the latest numbers and what treatments were used, so you aren’t left guessing. We aim for clear, practical health info that helps you stay safe and informed.

No fluff — just the lifestyle stories that help you live better, celebrate smarter, and understand what’s happening around you.
