The movie-watching experience, then and now

Watching the lavish ₹4,000-crore *Ramayana* in an IMAX prompts reflection on how cinema-going remains memorable not only for films but for audiences, snacks and shared mishaps. The film gathers momentum near its end, while today’s pricey multiplex distractions contrast with small-town single-screen theatres, once landmarks and rare escapes whose screenings became cherished personal bookmarks.

The Supreme Court’s questioning of the two-child limit can only be welcome. It understands that women do not always have control over their own fertility and reproductive decisions. And it is aware of society’s continuing bias towards sons, and asks for a broader policy framework to address this. (HT Archive)

Reframing the fertility debate as a women’s rights issue

The Supreme Court questioned India’s two-child cap for local elections, calling population-control laws outdated as fertility falls, and referred its earlier ruling upholding the restriction to a larger bench.

NVidia, L’affaire Huang and the ethics of an affair

Huang’s reported affair raises concerns because a powerful leader’s choices can affect family, public trust and national interests, not simply because they may breach marriage. A link to Chinese figure Alice Huang adds uncertainty; US officials suspect intelligence ties, though this remains unproven.
