Ability to listen: Zodiac signs that are the best listeners
I observe three figures amidst a tranquil garden, engaged in a deep, introspective conversation. Sunlight filters through the leaves, illuminating their connection. The ability to truly listen is a rare and precious gift. It goes beyond simply hearing words; it involves empathy, patience, and a genuine desire to understand another's perspective. While all zodiac signs have the capacity to be good listeners, a few possess this trait naturally, making them the friends and confidants everyone seeks out. These are the individuals who offer a safe space for open conversation, a shoulder to lean on, and a deep, intuitive understanding that makes you feel truly seen and heard. Virgo: As an earth sign ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, Virgo is a meticulous and thoughtful listener. Their analytical nature allows them to absorb details and process information with great care. When you speak to a Virgo, you can be sure they are not just passively listening; they are actively working to understand the nuances of your words and emotions. Their practical and logical approach means they often provide well-reasoned advice, but their primary strength is their ability to organize your thoughts and help you find clarity. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 50 Floors of Elevated Living by Raymond Realty Raymond Realty Learn More Undo A Virgo's attentiveness is a form of service, and they listen because they genuinely want to help and find a solution. Scorpio: While often associated with intensity and mystery, Scorpio is an incredibly deep and profound listener. Ruled by Pluto, the planet of transformation, Scorpios are masters of perception and have an uncanny ability to read between the lines. They are not interested in superficial conversations; they crave depth and authenticity. When a Scorpio listens, they are not just hearing your story; they are feeling your emotions and delving into the underlying truths. This makes them a powerful and empathetic confidant. Their listening style is a silent, intense connection that makes you feel understood on a soul level. They hold your secrets and your trust with the utmost respect. Pisces: The most compassionate and empathetic sign, Pisces, is a natural-born listener. As a water sign ruled by Neptune, the planet of dreams and intuition, Pisces has a porous boundary between themselves and others. They absorb emotions and can instinctively understand what you are feeling before you even say a word. Their listening is not a logical process but an intuitive one. They offer a non-judgmental space where you can pour out your heart, and they will simply hold it for you. Pisces's greatest gift as a listener is their ability to offer unconditional support and a feeling of being completely accepted. They listen with their heart, not just their ears, making them a comforting presence in any conversation Discover everything about astrology at Times of India , including daily horoscopes for Aries , Taurus , Gemini , Cancer , Leo , Virgo , Libra , Scorpio , Sagittarius , Capricorn , Aquarius , and Pisces .

Beyond quick fixes: How ayurveda heals the mind-body connection
Ayurveda, a 5,000-year-old holistic science, emphasizes the interconnectedness of mind and body for achieving lasting mental well-being. It focuses on balancing the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and cultivating Sattva through herbal remedies, mindful practices, and lifestyle adjustments. By integrating these principles, individuals can attain emotional stability and resilience in today's fast-paced world. In today's hyper-connected, modern world, talk of mental wellbeing is finally picking up steam. And yet, the answers we tend to find are in the form of band-aids like fast vacations, short getaways, or short digital detoxes, which, although useful, seldom deal with the true source of desequilibre. Ayurveda , India's 5,000-year-old holistic science, is quite different. It recognises that body and mind are not independent of each other but intensely connected, and that long-term mental health can only be achieved by tending to them in unison. Ayurveda does not view the mind simply in terms of moods or symptoms; it views it as part of an overall system ruled by the three doshas, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. The health of these doshas has a direct bearing on our emotional stability, clarity of thought, and capacity to deal with stress. Ayurveda's perception of the mind-body relationship Image: Canva Mental well-being in Ayurveda is described as "manasik swasthya," or a balanced and healthy state of mind. This equilibrium is subject to the influence of three mental virtues or gunas: Sattva: Purity, clearness, and intelligence Rajas: Activity, restlessness, and desire Tamas: Laziness, sluggishness, and ignorance A Sattvic mind is peaceful, clean, and satisfied. When Rajas or Tamas get over-powering, tension, nervousness, moodiness, or depression sets in. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 50 Floors of Elevated Living by Raymond Realty Raymond Realty Learn More Undo Ayurveda strives to promote Sattva while mildly suppressing the rajasic and tamasic states. The objective is not to eliminate doshas but to equalise them so that the mind is best able to perform. Herbal support Image : Canva Ayurveda has a whole pharmacopeia of herbs that were centuries ago used to feed the nervous system and increase mental acuity: Brahmi: Enhances memory, concentration, and capacity for learning. Ashwagandha: Mitigates stress, enhances emotional coping, and normalises cortisol. Shankhpushpi: Soothes mental restlessness and helps maintain healthy sleep habits. Jatamansi: Herbal sedative for relaxation and alleviation of tension. Herbs may be consumed as powders, teas, oils, or capsules, according to lifestyle choices. Ayurvedic products for mental well-being Image: Canva With busy urban lives in the modern era, not everybody can be grinding herbs or making decoctions from home. To the good fortune of all, Ayurvedic products have become more convenient without compromising on its genuineness. Herbal teas with Brahmi or Ashwagandha, Chyawanprash for immunity and energy, Ashwagandha capsules to combat stress, and Brahmi oil for head massage are now easily found in shops and over the internet. Certain companies, such as Patanjali, have made these ancient remedies affordable and easy to use, making them a part of the daily regime. Ayurveda isn't brand-oriented, but the efforts of such companies have brought ancient herbal remedies back into mainstream wellness. Sustainability & the ayurvedic lifestyle In contrast to most contemporary wellness fads, Ayurveda is highly sustainable. It encourages seasonal food intake, locally sourced herbal use, and conscious consumption, all of which decrease the body's stress burden and enable planetary health. Even minor shifts, such as substituting chemical-laden personal care products with natural ones or opting for herbal tea over coffee, can cause a cascade effect on mental clarity. Real life experiences Pragya Chakraborty, says "Corporate life is a job under high pressure, with constant deadlines, late nights and constant coffee breaks. I started to feel mentally drained and unfocused. A friend recommended Ayurveda, and my practitioner prescribed Brahmi tea first thing every morning, 10 minutes of meditation, and Abhyanga massage with sesame oil once a week. After two months, my sleep was better, concentration improved, and I could cope with stress much better. It's now no longer a routine, it's my sanity in a fast-paced world." Manisha Pandey, a college student, says "I was studying for competitive exams and always used to feel stressed out. My mind would either be racing with thoughts or become extremely lethargic and unable to concentrate. I changed to a Satvik diet, began doing pranayama every day, and consumed Ashwagandha capsules as advised by my Ayurvedic physician. My anxiety decreased, I slept better, and my study sessions were more productive within weeks. Ayurveda didn't only assist me in preparing for exams, it made the entire process less stressful and even enjoyable." Ayurveda is the study that says mental well-being is not an independent endeavor but an inextricable component of overall wellness. By harmonising the doshas, cultivating Sattva, and taking thoughtful life decisions, we can build emotional balance that cannot be disturbed by life's problems. Through herbal assistance, everyday rituals, or mindful eating, the Ayurvedic way provides not merely symptomatic relief but a lifestyle where peace of mind becomes the rule, not the exception. In an age that is obsessed with speed, Ayurveda teaches us to pause, tune in to what our body is telling us, and nurture the mind.

From Rs 65,000 to crores; Fahadh Faasil's journey from 'Chaappa Kurishu' to stardom
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) It's a known fact that the versatile actor Fahadh Faasil 's first attempt in cinema was not a successful one as his debut film 'Kaiyethum Doorath' flopped at the box office. The actor then made his second innings which was indeed a grand success. Producer Listin Stephen has recently shared how Mollywood star Fahadh Faasil was paid just Rs 1 lakh for his role in the 2011 thriller 'Chaappa Kurishu'. Speaking at the convocation ceremony of the South Indian Film Academy, where Fahadh was the chief guest, Listin reflected on the actor's extraordinary journey from those early days to becoming one of the most sought-after names in Indian cinema . "When we worked on Chaappa Kurishu, Fahadh never even asked for a fixed payment. He simply told me to pay whatever I felt was right once the film was done. Later, he mentioned that he had been paid Rs 65,000 for 'Tournament', so I decided to give him Rs 1 lakh for this film,' Listin recalled. Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira - Official Trailer From rejection to relentless rise Listin also revealed that before 'Chaappa Kurishu', many advised him against casting Fahadh. At that time, the actor had faced setbacks after his debut in 'Kaiyethum Doorathu', which didn't perform well. A long hiatus followed, with Fahadh returning to the screen in 'Kerala Cafe' and 'Tournament', before landing the lead in 'Chaappa Kurishu'.

The film went on to become a success and is still considered one of Fahadh's most memorable works. In fact, in a recent interview, the actor named it among the best films of his career — a moment that Listin says he even screenshotted for keeps. Now a name worth crores Fast forward to today, Fahadh Faasil's star power has soared to such heights that even a fee of Rs 5 to Rs 10 crore can't guarantee his dates. Listin pointed out that the actor's growth exemplifies the unpredictability and magic of cinema. As Listin put it, 'Back then, he was just another struggling actor. Today, he is someone every filmmaker dreams of working with — and not just for his talent, but for the sincerity and depth he brings to every role.'

Raymond Realty shares see worst session since listing; here's why
Shares of Raymond Realty saw their worst session since listing on the bourses as the stock fell over 8 per cent even after its profits more than doubled. The realty company's stock fell as much as 8.47 per cent during the day to ₹663.2 per share, the biggest intraday fall since its listing on July 1 this year, post its demerger with its parent. The stock was trading 7.8 per cent lower at ₹668.1 apiece, compared to a 0.16 per cent advance in Nifty 50 as of 1:45 PM. Shares of the company snapped a two-day gaining streak and currently trade at 2.4 times the average 30-day trading volume, according to Bloomberg. Since its listing in July, the stock has fallen by over 32 per cent, compared to a 3.8 per cent decline in the benchmark Nifty50. Raymond Realty has a total market capitalisation of ₹4,474.09 crore. Raymond Realty Q1 results The Mumbai-based firm's consolidated net profit for the first quarter of 2025-26 (Q1FY26) surged by 121.8 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) to ₹16.5 crore. In its first quarterly earnings since demerger from Raymond Ltd on May 1, the company's consolidated revenue for the quarter stood at ₹374.4 crore, up 188.7 per cent Y-o-Y. However, on a like-for-like basis (post-demerger), the revenue dropped by 23 per cent Y-o-Y. Meanwhile, its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (Ebitda) stood at ₹41 crore, down by 39 per cent Y-o-Y. "The main reason for Q1 (like-to-like performance) was that we had done a bumper Q3 and Q4 last year, and we were very low on inventory in Q1. The demand was very good, but we didn't have enough inventory to sell in Q1. We had to rush to get approvals and be ready for fresh launches," Harmohan Sahni, managing director (MD), Raymond Realty, said. Raymond Group demerger The demerger of Raymond Realty was completed on May 1, 2025, and the record date was May 14, 2025, for the purpose of determining the eligible shareholders of Raymond to whom the equity shares of Raymond Realty were to be allotted as per the terms of the Scheme.
