Sorry Boomers, young people's lives are harder today. Here's why
Imagine paying ₹5,000, not ₹25,000, to watch Coldplay perform. That's how much a ticket cost nine years ago, when they first visited India. Imagine paying less for an Uber ride than for an autorickshaw in Delhi. In 2015, Uber Go rides cost ₹7 per kilometre, while autos cost ₹8.5. You could get a flat-white at Starbucks (they launched it in 2015) for under ₹200. It costs ₹350 now. Ed Sheeran played a gig here that year. ₹5,000 could get you VIP Phase 2 tickets then. Now, that amount wouldn't even get you past the gates of his Delhi gig – ticket prices started at ₹6,500 this year. At big-city restaurants, a single main course is priced in the four digits before GST. Nike just dropped its Alphafly racing sneakers for ₹22,795.

Dakota Johnson Steps Out In A Sheer Black Dress After Breakup With Chris Martin
Last Updated: Following her breakup with Coldplay's Chris Martin, Dakota Johnson stepped out in New York City in a sheer body-hugging dress. Fans call it her 'revenge dressing era.' Actor Dakota Johnson has been making headlines following her split with Coldplay's Chris Martin after dating for eight years. The actor was recently spotted at the NBC Studios at Rockefeller Plaza in New York where she appeared on the latest episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers to promote her film – Materialists. For her appearance on the talk show, the actor opted for a black body-hugging sheer ensemble. Known for her effortlessly chic and confident style, Dakota Johnson pulled off this risque outfit like a pro. The actor paired the black sheer ensemble with minimal accessories to let the outfit do all the talking. In what can be termed as Dakota's revenge dressing era, she stepped out with panache. DAKOTA MAYI JOHNSON TODAY OH MY GOODNESS — ju 🕸 (@dakotasrare) June 5, 2025 Wearing a sheer, figure-hugging bodysuit by London-based designer Nensi Dojaka, Dakota Johnson wore the long-sleeved Renee bodysuit (£530, approximately Rs 61,499) that featured Dojaka's signature anatomical cut-outs and precise paneling. With its sheer detail, the bodysuit was more mesmerizing than flashy, the look drew you in without screaming for attention. Dakota paired it with the matching Mila tulle midi skirt (£700, approximately Rs 81,225), which moved behind her like a soft breeze, adding a hint of romance to the otherwise sultry ensemble. A strapless black bodysuit worn underneath subtly toned things down, striking the perfect balance between bold and refined. As the newly appointed global ambassador for luxury jeweller Roberto Coin, Dakota kept her accessories refreshingly minimal, just dainty earrings and a sleek pair of pointed Saint Laurent Raven sling backs in black. Her glam stayed true to her signature: pin-straight hair, a classic fringe grazing her brows, and an effortless air that's unmistakably Dakota. Dakota and Chris have been romantically linked since 2017. The couple chose to keep their relationship mostly out of the spotlight. Still, they made occasional headlines with rare public outings, like Dakota accompanying Chris on his Coldplay Music of the Spheres tour stop in India earlier this year, or the pair being spotted leaving a Malibu yoga class together in May this year. Despite periodic breakup rumours over the years, insiders have consistently reassured fans that things remained strong between the two. However, a recent exclusive source report from PEOPLE mentions that this might be their 'final' breakup. tags : dakota johnson fashion lifestyle Location : Delhi, India, India First Published: June 07, 2025, 09:08 IST News lifestyle Dakota Johnson Steps Out In A Sheer Black Dress After Breakup With Chris Martin

...You'll have to take the Tequila Express
Tourism used to be a simple equation. You went somewhere, checked out views, temples, eateries, and soaked in whatever else the place had to offer. But, now, sights and shopping aren't enough. You need a side of spectacle. Think vibes, curated playlists, mood lighting, the right Instagram filter. And if you've got extra dosh, throw in a themed train ride - with a tequila bar - that could make a mariachi weep. Hop on to the Tequila Express. This isn't some novelty name - it's a real train chugging across Mexico's agave-covered terrain. First launched in 1997 to kickstart 'tequila tourism', it took a break and is now back - refurbished, refuelled, and ready to serve 1.2 mn tipsy tourists a year. And this isn't just transport. It's a full-blown rolling fiesta connecting Guadalajara with Tequila, Mexico, complete with enlarged windows, soft lighting, piped-in mariachi music, and flat-screens flashing tacos and distilleries - basically, Agave Netflix while you sip your third shot before noon. Meanwhile, rival trains like the Jose Cuervo Express charge even more to wobble through the same cactus-studded scenery. The best bit? Tequila is now a Unesco World Heritage site. So, yes, getting sloshed on a train officially counts as cultural enrichment. Moral of the story: It's not where you go, but how you sell the ride. Just add lime and call it heritage. Elevate your knowledge and leadership skills at a cost cheaper than your daily tea. Everything 'e' won't make you a millionaire.
