Paytm rolls out personalised UPI IDs for enhanced privacy
Indian payments company Paytm has introduced personalised UPI IDs, enabling users to conduct UPI transactions without revealing their mobile numbers. This feature allows for the creation of unique UPI handles such as name@ptyes or name@ptaxis, currently supported by Yes Bank and Axis Bank, with plans to extend to other banks. Paytm's new feature addresses the privacy concerns of mobile number exposure during UPI payments by allowing users to create custom UPI IDs. To set up a personalised UPI ID, users should navigate to 'UPI Settings' through the profile icon, where they can manage their UPI ID and select a preferred personalised handle. Once confirmed, the new UPI ID becomes the primary identifier for all subsequent UPI transactions, the company explained. Paytm spokesperson said: 'We have introduced personalised UPI IDs to offer more choice and privacy in payments. We heard the feedback from our customers who wanted to keep their mobile numbers private, and built this solution to address that need. We remain committed to developing thoughtful innovations that make payments safer and more convenient for all.' Additionally, Paytm has introduced a suite of features aimed at enhancing the overall payment experience. These include options to hide or unhide transactions, tools for financial tracking such as spend categorisation and monthly summaries, and widgets for receiving money alerts and facilitating QR payments. Moreover, the company implemented an auto top-up function for its UPI Lite service and offers downloadable UPI statements for financial monitoring. Paytm is also extending its UPI services to Indian travellers in various countries, including the UAE, Singapore, France, Mauritius, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, and Nepal.

This U.S. Beach Was Named One of the Best in the World—and It's Known for Its Stunning Quartz Sand
There are beautiful beaches in every corner of the world, that's true. But only 50 get the honor of landing on the annual World's 50 Best Beaches list. Each year, the list is put together with the expertise of thousands of travel experts. Then, the selections are further whittled according to a unique set of parameters, including categories like "Easy to Enter," "Often Calm Water," "Not Too Crowded," and "Frequently Idyllic." After evaluating all the data, just one beach in the U.S. made it on the list, and it also ranked as the 12th best beach in North America. Perhaps, as no surprise to those in the know, the best beach in the U.S. is Siesta Beach in Siesta Key, Florida. This Florida Keys destination is known for its soft sand, which consists mainly of pure quartz that originated from the Appalachian Mountains. Because of its quartz composition, the sand never gets too hot. "What makes Siesta Beach truly special is its sand,' said Suze Renner, from Luxury Columnist, in the report. 'The beach is famous for its 99 percent pure quartz sand, which is powdery white and incredibly fine." The water is also clear, shallow, calm, and easy to enter, making it easy to swim and wade in. There's also not a ton of development in the area, keeping the environment nearly pristine. This is somewhat unique to Siesta Beach compared to other beaches in the same region, as coastal Florida towns are constantly undergoing construction and urbanization. World's 50 Best Beaches' also gave Siesta Beach the "frequently Idyllic" designation, meaning 'your odds of perfect beach days are much higher than average.' For most of the year, there are fewer than 10 rainy days per month in Siesta Beach, with year-round average highs between 70 and 90 degrees. This isn't the first time that Siesta Beach has been named one of the best beaches in the U.S. Back in February, Tripadvisor named it the No. 1 U.S. beach, and the fourth best beach in the world. Its report also cited the beach's soft sand, calm waters, and quietness as well as frequent dolphin sightings and excellent sunsets. 'Siesta Key has the ultimate laid-back beach vibe,' Kelly Defebo, vice president of marketing and communications at Visit Sarasota County, told Travel + Leisure in June 2024. 'Sunsets anywhere are gorgeous, but they are not to be missed here."

Dispatch, Taj Mahal: Wonder and delight on an impromptu visit
AGRA, India — India, or at least the small portion of it that I saw this week on a trip to New Delhi for IATA's Annual General Meeting, is an intense place. It's a cacophony of noises and smells. The glorious scent of curry for a few steps, the smell of sweat a few steps later. Garbage, too. Horns blare perpetually. For the pedestrian, cars, motorbikes, tuk-tuks, hand-wheeled carts carrying goods and even the occasional goat come at you from all directions. Often, at least in central parts, there's a sea of people as well. And always in early June, there's the heat. The Taj Mahal in Agra, India. A fellow journalist told me I had to visit the monument. It would be a long day, he said, but one I would cherish. Photo Credit: Robert Silk But inside the walls of the Taj Mahal compound, mostly there is just tranquility. I hadn't planned to make the approximately three-hour journey from New Delhi to Agra to see this iconic monument when I arrived in India. But during the IATA conference, a fellow journalist told me I had to. It would be a long day, he said, but one I would cherish. So, after my work in the capital wound down, I booked a last-second tour through TripAdvisor's Viator network (better planning should have involved a travel advisor), paying less than $100 for a private round-trip ride to and from Agra and a private guide to show me the Taj Mahal and other Agra sites, most notably Agra Fort, itself a Unesco World Heritage site. My Taj Mahal entry fee of approximately $13 wasn't included. To be brief, the Taj Mahal was magnificent. We all know this from photographs. And in the midday light, it was as extraordinary in person as I would have imagined. I'm told it's even more so at sunrise and sunset, when the horizontal light plays most strikingly against the thousands upon thousands of semiprecious gemstones inlaid into the mausoleum's white, crystalline marble. Intricate stonework inlaid in marble near the entrance to the Taj Mahal. Photo Credit: Robert Silk Especially vital to the Taj's gleam, as I learned from my guide, Suraj, and later during a demonstration at a local artisanal marble works, is its orange carnelian stone, which is particularly luminescent. Near the entrance to the mausoleum, Saraj made sure I carefully examined the detailed work of the gemstone inlaid in floral pattens. Cuts of stone, tiny sometimes, are fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. Workers still do this meticulous work today to repair and maintain the nearly 400-year-old monument, which was commissioned by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan to house the remains of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal, and eventually his own remains as well. The 42-acre, walled Taj Mahal complex was busy enough during my Wednesday afternoon visit, though not overly crowded. To my surprise, there were very few Western or East Asian tourists to be seen. It was a happy revelation. It's rare for me these days to visit an iconic attraction and find it largely peopled by the local population. As for me, I made a rare decision that day. I'm normally averse to posing for pictures. A handful of posed shots over the course of even an exotic trip feels like more than enough. But encouraged by Suraj, I hired a local photographer just outside the Taj Mahal compound entrance for a short photo shoot. On the long drive back to Delhi that evening, I looked over the photos, both print and digital. Even the corny one where it looks like my finger is touching the top of the Taj Mahal dome made me smile. I think it's because I know I'm lucky; lucky to have made it to this grand and singular edifice.
