How startups and apps are angling to solve elder-care and digital loneliness for 2024

Workshops were organised that helped people reconnect to rustic Bengal, and also to come closer to nature.

Grant School of Public Health released a study that showed 63 percent of participants—11,102 male respondents aged between 15 and 24, from all 64 districts (81 urban and 289 rural clusters)—believed that beating their wives is justified if they are denied sex.

When Toyota launched the Altezza in Japan in 1998 and subsequently decided to sell it as the Lexus IS (Intelligent Sport) in Europe and North America, their idea was to make a capable, well rounded sport sedan that would offer sharper driving dynamics than the rest of the softly sprung executive sedans that were for sale in the Lexus range.

Modern classic - Toyota Corolla E90 GT

The Toyota Corolla E90 is now a thirty-year-old model. For a few people out there, lightweight sedans from the 90's give the kind of feedback that modern cars with their well-insulated interiors and dampened steering setups just can't provide. Victor is one of those people, and this is his E90 GT.

Furious 8: Fate of the Furious

Fast and Furious should really not be a thing anymore. Out of all the sacrilegious things you could say to an automotive enthusiast, that one line might set off a chain reaction that lands my head on a spike with the words “For Paul” scribbled across my bloodied forehead.

The story of this 1978 Mitsubishi Lancer Deluxe is scarcely believable because of the series of numbers on the dash of this relic - 16,418. If you haven't guessed yet, that's the mileage of this pristine blue sedan, making it one of the lowest mileage first generation Lancers anywhere on the planet.
