Viral: Man reveals one aspect where Indian salons lag behind Japanese ones and it is not their service

Image credits: X/@BarkusMaximus Globalisation and new money have allowed us a world of experiences which one could only dream of earlier. Nowadays, it isn't difficult for most people to pack a bag and get set to explore the world. People travel across the globe and enjoy the minute pleasures of life, such as getting a haircut in a different country. Hair salons in various countries offer unique experiences and men all around the world are surely attracted to them. From unique haircuts to massages, salons experiment with a lot of services to keep a constant revolving door of customers. However, is that enough? Recently, a man took to X to share the only difference between a Japanese and Indian salon, which he thought was good PR. Referencing a video of a man getting a haircut in Japan where he suggested that it is an experience every man should get once in their lifetime, he wrote, "Japan's PR is unreal just like 'Peak Bengaluru'. There is absolutely nothing in this clip which my barber from my current hometown wouldn't be doing for ₹250-300. " The video showed a female barber cutting a man's hair which involved a haircut, hair wash, facial, face shaving, and lots of massage on the head, shoulder and back. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Recibirás alertas gratuitas sobre acciones con este nuevo algoritmo TradeTrend Más información Undo Netizens react Image credits: X/@BarkusMaximus The comparison is actually true. If you see videos of Indian salons giving haircuts to men, all of these acts are involved but the only difference is that the entire activity is not sold as one big life-changing experience. People in the comments attested to the man's views writing, "Absolutely agree. The day we nail Aesthetics we rule the world." "My barber Shahrukh bhai does it for Rs 150." quipped another X user. Image credits: X/@BarkusMaximus Many wrote how cleanliness and calmness were a factor that differentiated the salons of the two countries. The Indian salons market hair cutting as a service which is performed in a short and quick amount of time and you are one of the many customers in line. However, Japanese salons market haircuts as a personal experience where you can rest and enjoy a service catered to you in particular. "Feel her stillness and calmness. Our barbers are in a different haste." and "Cleanliness and respect, not an everyday concept or expectation in India any more" wrote people in the comments. "The word you need to focus upon is 'experience' one pointed out. Others added the unique aspects of Indian salons that Japanese salons can't replicate, which is a haircut and massage with classic Indian songs playing in the background. "Mere yahan 50 mein kaat deta hai World class hairstyle Massage and Kumar Sanu bangers are added extras" and "But with old melodies, geopolitics and gossip of the town..." shared some.

Realty fraud kingpin arrested; over 100 duped

L ucknow: A man accused of orchestrating a massive real estate fraud racket targeting Army and paramilitary personnel was arrested by a joint team of the UP STF and Lucknow police. The accused, Pramod Kumar Upadhyay, 46, allegedly duped over 100 people by selling them fake or disputed plots of land across Lucknow and surrounding areas. The arrest took place on June 15 near Jyotinagar, when the STF received intelligence that Upadhyay would be visiting his now-defunct office near Kanha Upvan in Mohanlalganj to retrieve documents. A team led by additional SP (STF) Lal Pratap Singh apprehended him before he could access the premises. DCP South Nipun Agarwal said Upadhyay is a key accused in at least 30 FIRs, all connected to fraudulent land dealings. He is alleged to have run the scam under the banner of Infra Vision Pvt Ltd, a real estate company that promised prime land but delivered neither ownership nor possession to buyers. Police said that the accused specifically targeted members of the defence and paramilitary forces, knowing they were often unable to inspect the sites due to duty commitments. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning...

The victims were convinced to register plots, only to later discover that the land either did not exist or was never legally owned by the company. "Due to their limited availability for land visits, these personnel were shown misleading documents and plots that were either already under dispute or located elsewhere. Once the fraud came to light, the accused assured the victims of refunds but continued delaying any action," said Agarwal. During interrogation, Upadhyay revealed that the company was originally floated by his elder brother Vinod Kumar Upadhyay and their father Haridwar Upadhyay. The firm operated for years from offices in Aashiyana and Kanha Upvan, which were shut down after the scam surfaced. A case has been registered at Mohanlalganj police station under sections 406 (criminal breach of trust), 504 (intentional insult) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code. Investigators said that earnings from the fraud were allegedly invested in properties located in Khalilabad, Pratapgarh and Raxaul (Bihar). Officials are now examining financial records and real estate transactions linked to the accused to trace the full scale of the racket. Further arrests may follow as the STF continues to investigate the network of accomplices and victims spread across different parts of the country.

Textile processors take lead for deep sea discharge project

Surat: The South Gujarat Textile Processors Association (SGTPA) is taking the lead in lobbying for the development of a 600 million litres a day (MLD) deep sea discharge pipeline. The textile processing and chemical industries have joined hands to push for expediting the project, so that it can boost industrial growth in the region. According to SGTPA officials, the Gujarat Maritime Board has given its no-objection certificate for the project. The state govt had earlier announced the project, and surveys were conducted for it. For smooth execution and the participation of various stakeholders, various industries operating in and around Surat have joined hands under the leadership of SGTPA. "The cost of this project may rise to Rs 5,000 crore. It will be located where connectivity can be given to the MITRA Park of Vansi Borsi in Navsari district. Once complete, the project will the open doors for further expansion of existing industries," said Jitu Vakharia, president of the SGTPA. The current total discharge of these industries is estimated to be 450 MLD currently. With future need in mind, a larger discharge pipeline is being planned. Through the pipeline, discharge from seven water treatment plants around Surat will be released. The pipeline project is expected to bring down water treatment cost as well. SGTPA officials say the discharge will be released deep in the sea, so it does not harm marine life. Earlier proposed locations of the pipeline were objected to, and its location was changed. "Of the project cost, 20% will be borne by industry and 80% by the govt. It will make possible industrial growth, which has been halted because the maximum capacity of water treatment plants has been reached," Vakharia said.
