Arvid Lindblad got a fast car and has a plan to get us onto the 2026 Formula One grid. As a rookie with Racing Bulls, the 18-year-old is the only driver carrying Indian representation into the sport at this level, lining up against the very drivers whose posters once hung on his bedroom walls, including Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton.


If you aren’t at the track, it is officially Oscars homework season. Bugonia and One Battle After Another have just landed on streaming, while Hamnet is finally in theatres. Marty Supreme is still playing hard to get on OTT. This countdown sits alongside a historic double nomination for Geeta Gandbhir, the first woman to be nominated in both Academy Award documentary categories in the same year. She woke up to her husband—movie producer Nikon Kwantu—screaming. Honestly, the only acceptable way to learn you’ve made Oscar history.


There are lots of reasons to try something new, especially if it’s food. Our March food list is here and is the only valid reason to leave your couch. From Fire Horse menus to Ayurvedic principles, consider this your vetted map to the meals actually worth the reservation. Read more below.
