Apple Mac Mini (2024)

There's something endlessly charming about a tiny box that can punch far above its weight, and the 2024 Mac Mini with M4 Pro chip embraces that role with passion. This minimalist powerhouse is still small enough to get lost behind your monitor, yet it packs enough computational muscle to handle video editing, code compiling, and a marathon of streaming sessions without a hiccup. Think of it as the stealthy little friend who shows up to the party, quietly takes charge of the DJ booth, and leaves everyone asking, "Where'd that guy come from?"

Price ₹1,49,900 (M4 Pro Chip)

Samsung Watch

Ultra Smartwatches have come a long way from their awkward, clunky youth. The Samsung Watch Ultra proves this with its refined design and a screen that seems to glow with a secret inner light. It's tough, too-go ahead, wear it while climbing a mountain or arm-wrestling a professional cyclist. With health insights sharper than a personal trainer's bark and battery life that won't give out right before your evening run, it's a timepiece that blends luxury with utility.

Price ₹69,900

Vivo X200

A BOILING-HOT FIGHT IN MILKIPUR

A BOILING-HOT FIGHT IN MILKIPUR

The upcoming byelection in the assembly constituency of Milkipur, in Ayodhya district, carries immense significance for both the BJP and the Samajwadi Party (SP). Scheduled for February 5, it's a battle that could help shape the initial narrative for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh assembly polls. The Scheduled Caste-reserved seat fell vacant after the 2024 general election, when its veteran SP MLA Awadhesh Prasad famously fought and won the Faizabad Lok Sabha seat-under which Milkipur falls, as does Ayodhya. Coming within months of the Ram temple inauguration, that loss had dealt a bitter blow to the BJP: it was tantamount to Hindutva being humbled in its symbolic homeland. Thoughts of redemption will therefore be uppermost in the party's mind.
