Summary

An Indian man now living in Canada has shared how leaving a secure, well-paying job in India and relocating overseas without employment turned out to be one of the most rewarding decisions of his life. In a video posted on Instagram, Vishal looked back on his move to Canada with his wife nearly four years ago. He described the decision as one that involved careful thought but also required embracing uncertainty. According to Vishal, he arrived in Canada without a job after walking away from a stable career in India. One such decision for me was moving from India to Canada nearly four years ago. Reflecting on life in Canada, Vishal said he had gone through many of the struggles commonly experienced by new immigrants before eventually settling down. “Today, after four years and after going through almost everything a newcomer or immigrant typically experiences, I can confidently say that the decision we made was the right one,” he said. He added that owning a house or a car overseas was not, in itself, a significant achievement because he and his wife could have purchased the same things in India. Vishal said his journey was similar to that of many immigrants who move abroad and later compare their previous lives with their new ones before deciding whether to stay or return. “One thing I can say with certainty is that I would never have gained these experiences had I not left India and moved to Canada.

Bengaluru's flooded roads to planned lanes, viral post captures city's contradictions

Bengaluru has long been a city of contrasts. On one street, flooded roads and crumbling infrastructure can bring daily life to a standstill during the monsoon. Just a few kilometres away, tree-lined avenues, bustling cafs and walkable footpaths paint an entirely different picture. A viral post on X has now captured that contradiction, reigniting a familiar conversation about the city's uneven urban landscape. Calling Bengaluru "a paradox", X user Aaditya Aanand contrasted flood-prone neighbourhoods such as Bellandur with Indiranagar's iconic 100 Feet Road, describing the latter as an example of how a city should be built. "Bangalore is a paradox. Parts of this city turn into a slum the moment it rains (sorry, Bellandur). Then there is Indiranagar, which can beat an old European city on a good evening. 100 Feet Road is what happens when someone actually thinks about how a city should be built," he wrote. Aanand went on to describe 100 Feet Road as a lively, pedestrian-friendly stretch that feels less like a typical Indian street and more like "the ground floor of a giant mall". There are homes built the way homes should be, cars parked outside, enough trees, enough greenery and enough silence that you forget you are standing in the middle of the Silicon Valley of India," he added.

Zohran Mamdani riding high despite New York Post’s daily demonization

The media-savvy mayor’s popularity has only grown as the Murdoch-owned tabloid has thrown everything at him The rightwing New York Post has attacked Zohran Mamdani as a communist, a hater of the police, an antisemite, a driver-away-of-billionaires, and as someone who isn’t very good at bench press. But six months into his mayoralty, Mamdani has so far succeeded where most of his predecessors have failed: he has bested the city’s most powerful tabloid. Despite enduring near daily criticism from the Post, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, since he launched his campaign for mayor in late 2024, Mamdani’s popularity in the city has grown in line with his influence – which saw the three candidates he endorsed for Congress win their primaries in June. “The New York Post is very influential, but there’s a real chance that it has met its match in Mamdani, that’s the shift here, and there’s never been a politician of his national stature and ability to combat the Post until he arrived on the scene,” said Ross Barkan, an author and columnist whose latest book, The Revolutionary : Zohran Mamdani and the Remaking of American Politics, will be released in October. Indeed, rather than Mamdani being diminished by rightwing attacks, a Siena University poll in late June found that Mamdani’s favorability had actually increased over the previous two months. About 58% of New Yorkers approve of the mayor, with only 26% disapproving – ratings that are better than the Democratic party as a whole. The popularity surge is not for want of trying from the Post, which publishes multiple pieces on the mayor every day. From Monday to Wednesday this week the Post has published 29 pieces that were tagged “Zohran Mamdani”, stories which ranged from criticizing the mayor over his stance on Israel , for his plans for public supermarkets , for his plans to invest more in public schools , over the spelling of a police officer’s name, for “ignoring Little Italy” on a map of New York’s immigrant neighborhoods, and for his wife going on holiday . Historically, the Post has managed to weaken liberal mayors. Bill de Blasio, a progressive, served two terms as mayor from 2014 to 2021, but parts of his agenda stalled in the face of relentless criticism – as did his subsequent bid for the presidency. “He did have relative popularity, but he was never beloved, and he did not have the same ability, unlike Mamdani, to exert his political will in various [political] races,” Barkan said. The vibes are actually pretty good, whether or not they’re credited to Mamdani.” Barkan, who ran for New York state senate in 2018 with Mamdani as his campaign manager, said the Post was still figuring out how to deal with Mamdani, but for now was a “ship at sea”. “While the New York Post is benefiting in terms of page views and interest, because they never run out of ways to attack him, the reality is they have not moved the needle politically against him,” he said. “They attack Mamdani every day, but the average New Yorker looks at some of their criticisms and rolls their eyes, because they’ve not yet found the talking point that sticks.”
