Delhi to soon have countrys finest film & tourism policy: Minister Kapil Mishra
New Delhi, Aug 8 (PTI) The Delhi government will soon unveil the country's most progressive and comprehensive film and tourism policy, Tourism Minister Kapil Mishra said on Friday. Mishra made the announcement while addressing the inaugural session of the three-day India Film Festival at the NCUI auditorium in the presence of former Union minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar, and actor Manoj Joshi, among others. Mishra said the festival is a significant initiative to bring Indian cinema's diversity, rich culture, and creativity onto a shared platform. Stating that his government is working actively to position the capital as the best destination for film production, Mishra said, 'Delhi government is set to introduce the country's finest film and tourism policy. In the near future, major festivals like this will be organised with the support of Delhi government." A dedicated budget has been allocated for the upcoming International Film Festival to be held in Delhi, the minister said, adding that a mechanism has been put in place to provide single window clearance to film producers for shooting in the capital city. 'This film festival is not just about entertainment — it is a celebration of dialogue, identity, and creativity. The government will continue to encourage such events to establish Delhi as an international hub for art, culture and cinema," Mishra said.

Indian man flies to Vietnam, buys MacBook, takes a holiday, and still saves ₹36,500
An Indian man is going viral for pulling off a smart tech-buying hack: he bought a MacBook from Vietnam, saved money on the device, and turned the trip into an 11-day holiday, all for less than what the laptop would have cost in India. The user, who goes by @Shuict on Reddit, shared how a bit of planning helped him combine work, travel and savings in one go. 'If you're planning to buy a MacBook or iPhone worth ₹ 2 lakh+ in India, trust me, it's worth making a short trip to Vietnam,' he wrote. The MacBook model he wanted was priced around ₹ 1.85 lakh in India, even after bank offers. Instead, he booked the cheapest round-trip ticket to Hanoi, worked remotely from there, and bought the device from an authorised Apple reseller in Vietnam. Thanks to the country's lower pricing and VAT refund policy for tourists, he ended up paying only around ₹ 1.48 lakh for the same model-- a savings of nearly ₹ 36,500. He also advised others trying the same: 'Always ask: 'Do you provide VAT refund documents for the airport?' Some stores won't.' Even after accounting for the laptop, international flights, stay, food and sightseeing, the total cost of his trip came to about ₹ 2.8 lakh. But after receiving the VAT refund, the final expense was around ₹ 1.97 lakh. That means the entire Vietnam trip cost just ₹ 48,000-- less than what most domestic holidays cost. His post, shared on July 30, has now gone viral, drawing praise for being both financially smart and travel-savvy. Several users commented saying they were considering trying something similar, while others were surprised to learn Apple products could be significantly cheaper in Vietnam.

The video was shared with the caption: 'Dirty Polluted India has a CLEAN Shopping Outlet that looks better than Miami. Did you know India had this?' A different side of India, through a foreign lens According to his Instagram profile, the vlogger is currently travelling across India and documenting his experiences. His Cyber Hub visit has gained traction for offering a fresh, outsider perspective on urban India– one that goes beyond typical tourist destinations or conventional narratives. The reactions online have been mixed, but the video has certainly sparked a broader conversation about how India's evolving cityscapes are perceived globally.
