Alia Bhatt has officially become a Saiyaara fan. After seeing the Mohit Suri movie, the actor posted a lengthy message on her Instagram account on Saturday, expressing her admiration for the two leading actors, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. “Is full of heart, full of soul, full of something that just stays with you… In the best way,” Alia said of Saiyaara.
What Alia said about Saiyaara
Sharing a picture from the making of the film, which had director Mohit Suri interacting with Ahaan and Aneet on set, Alia began in the caption, “It’s safe to say… two beautiful, magical STARS are born ✨✨✨✨ @aneetpadda_ @ahaanpandayy — I don’t remember the last time I looked at two actors with such awe. With stars in my eyes… watching the stars in yours. You both shine with such individuality, such honesty — I could watch you again, and again, and again. (And let’s be honest… I probably will.) I’ve already gushed to you both individually, but clearly, once was not enough. So here I am. Gushing. Again.”
She praised Mohit Suri, and continued, “To the captain of this very wonderful ship @mohitsuri — what a film. What feeling. What music!!!!!!!! You made me feel things that only the movies can make you feel. Saiyaara is full of heart, full of soul, full of something that stays with you… In the best way. To the entire team, to @yrf — congratulations on this beautiful creation. This isn’t just a film. It’s a moment. And I’m so glad I got to feel it 💛☀️”
“You’re my hero, always have been,” Aneet wrote in response to the post, ever since I can recall. Thank you—the beauty you possess.
The record for the most significant opening-day receipts by a Hindi film starring debutants has previously been set by Saiyaara. On its first day of release, the movie made ₹21 crore, one of the most incredible totals of the year. Akshaye Widhani, the CEO of YRF, is the film’s producer.
Last-minute travel can be thrilling, but packing in a rush? Not so much. Whether it’s a spontaneous weekend escape or an emergency work trip, smart packing can save you time, space, and stress.
Here are 10 packing tricks to help you travel light, fast, and stress-free when the clock is ticking.
1. Start with a Packing Checklist
Even if you’re in a hurry, jot down the essentials: clothes, documents, toiletries, and chargers. A quick checklist ensures you won’t forget the basics—and helps avoid overpacking.
2. Roll, Don’t Fold
Rolling clothes instead of folding saves space and reduces wrinkles. It’s the fastest way to fit more into your bag and keep items easy to spot.
3. Use Packing Cubes or Zip Bags
Organise your clothes into cubes or large zip bags by type—tops, bottoms, underwear. This keeps everything neat and prevents you from having to dig through your suitcase.
4. Pick a Neutral Colour Palette
Stick to 2–3 colours so everything mixes and matches. One pair of jeans, a few interchangeable tops, and one jacket will take you far.
5. Travel in Your Bulkiest Outfit
Wear your heaviest shoes and jacket to save luggage space. This simple hack frees up tons of room in your carry-on.
6. Use Multi-Purpose Items
A scarf can double as a blanket, wrap, or beach towel. Choose clothes and accessories that serve multiple functions.
7. Mini Toiletries Only
Always keep a ready-to-go kit with travel-sized shampoo, toothpaste, and moisturiser on hand. You’ll never have to think twice when time is short.
8. Use a Pill Case for Jewellery
Need to bring accessories? Keep earrings, rings, and chains organised in a daily pill organiser. It’s compact and tangle-free.
9. Don’t Pack “Just in Case” Items
Stick to what you know you’ll use. Avoid overpacking by ditching the “what if” extras.
10. Keep Essentials in Your Bag
Pack your passport, wallet, power bank, phone, and one outfit in your backpack or handbag—just in case your luggage is delayed.
Packing at the last minute doesn’t have to mean panic. With these quick hacks, you’ll be ready to jet off in minutes, light, organised, and confident.
Just when we thought ghosting was the worst thing to happen in modern dating, there’s a new toxic trend on the rise—being ‘Banksied’. If you’ve ever felt like you were wiped entirely from someone’s life without a trace, you might have been a victim of this ruthless dating behaviour.
But what exactly does it mean to be ‘Banksied’?
What Is ‘Banksying’?
The term is inspired by the elusive street artist Banksy, known for creating art overnight and disappearing without a clue. In the dating world, ‘Banksying’ refers to someone cutting you out so completely, it’s as if you never existed—they delete your chats, unfollow you on every social platform, block your number, and even erase shared photos.
Unlike ghosting, where at least the digital trail remains, being ‘Banksied’ is a full-on erasure. It leaves the other person confused, shocked, and often questioning their reality.
Why It Hurts More Than Ghosting
While ghosting is painful, at least you can scroll back through old texts and try to find closure. But with ‘Banksying’, it’s like your entire history with the person is wiped clean. It’s emotionally jarring, especially if things seemed fine just days before.
It’s not just rejection—it’s invalidation of the relationship itself.
Signs You’re Being ‘Banksied’
You’re suddenly blocked everywhere
All shared pictures or posts disappear
No explanation, just complete digital disappearance
Friends of the person start ignoring or distancing themselves too
How to Cope With It
Being ‘Banksied’ can trigger anxiety and self-doubt. But remember—this behaviour says more about them than you. Healthy relationships end with communication and closure. Focus on self-care, talk to friends, and if needed, seek support from a therapist.
‘Banksying’ is a harsh reminder of how impersonal modern dating can become. As cruel as it may be, recognising toxic patterns helps protect your emotional well-being. Whether you’re dating online or offline, communication and respect should always be the standard.

There was a time when comfort was a dirty word in fashion. When the only sandals gracing the front rows of fashion week were the kind that made podiatrists cry. Straps? Impractical. Footbeds? Non-existent. Blisters? Considered a badge of honour.
But something has shifted.
Post-pandemic priorities, revenge travel, and the collective realisation that life is simply too short for sore feet have led to a quiet revolution. One where fashion insiders are no longer sacrificing comfort for style — they’re demanding both.
Enter the age of functional footwear.
Sensible soles are being styled with linen suits. Chunky women’s sandals are pairing with designer dresses. And if you look closely, those unfussy, contoured silhouettes with actual arch support? They’ve made their way from wellness retreats to street-style galleries.
Some might even say the Birkenstock effect is no longer just real — it’s runway-approved.
From Red Carpet to Regular People: The Fall of the Heel
Once upon a red carpet, towering stilettos reigned supreme. The higher the heel, the higher the status — and also, the likelihood of a twisted ankle.
But today? Celebs are showing up in women’s sandals that look suspiciously walkable. Think contoured cork soles, wide straps that actually hold your foot, and zero elevation trauma. Fashion icons are ditching the drama for footbeds that don’t punish.
The world watched, gasped, and then collectively sighed, “Wait, I can wear those too?”
Street Style Decided That Practical is the New Powerful
Street-style photographers used to chase after risk-takers in painful boots. Now they’re zooming in on minimalist Birkenstock Arizonas styled with tailored trousers.
Because real style? It isn’t about suffering anymore.
It’s about commanding the sidewalk in women’s sandals that say: “I’m going places, and I won’t need bandages to get there.”
Gen Z Doesn’t Do Blisters
This generation grew up on boundary-setting memes, ergonomic gaming chairs, and the soft life.
They’re not wearing gladiators with zero arch support. They’re choosing waterproof, featherlight EVA slides that match their oat milk lattes and monochrome wardrobes. Yes, we’re talking about the Birkenstock EVA range.
They’re not rejecting fashion. They’re redefining it — one anatomically designed pair of women’s sandals at a time.
The “Walk of Shame” Is Now Just… Walking
Remember when you wore heels out and limped home barefoot, holding them like trophies of poor decisions?
Today, functional footwear says: why not walk to brunch, at brunch, and home from brunch — all in the same pair? And not in shame. In Birkenstocks.
Because your women’s sandals are now your loyal wingwoman. The kind that holds you through every moment — emotionally and orthopedically.
Fashion’s current inspiration? Effortless Indian ease with a dash of global cool. Think pared‑back neutrals, structured edges, and footwear that does more talking with less noise. Enter the Birkenstock aesthetic — sculpted footbeds, minimal straps, subdued hardware.
Shereen Sikka is the perfect example. Known for her editorial-meets-everyday style, she’s been spotted casually at home wearing Birkenstocks with oversized tees and relaxed separates; proof these sandals blend comfort and timelessness.
In one Grazia “Wardrobe Diaries” feature, she even admits Birkenstocks are her go‑to “when I’m creating” mode.
Airport Fits Got Real
Travel influencers used to glide through terminals in heeled booties. Today? They’re wearing Birkenstock Bostons.
Functional women’s sandals that slip on, breeze through TSA, and double as hotel lobby flex-wear? That’s the new elite. Especially when they weigh less than your lip balm and outlast your third cup of overpriced airport coffee.
Style Isn’t About Suffering Anymore; It’s About Strategy
Wearing shoes that look like a dream but feel like betrayal? We’ve evolved past that.
We want women’s sandals with contoured cork footbeds, deep heel cups, and uppers that don’t attack our skin. We want Birkenstocks, basically.
Because style today is about moving through your day seamlessly. Without pauses. Without plasters. Madrid slides, anyone?
No One’s Judging Your Sock Game Anymore
Socks with sandals used to be a punchline. Now? It’s Tokyo streetwear meets Berlin bookstore chic.
Pair your Arizona EVA women’s sandals with tie-dye crews or luxe ribbed cotton socks. The look says: “I do Pilates and read experimental fiction.”
Also, your arch support is excellent. Good job.
Aesthetics are Great. But Arch Support? That’s the Real Plot Twist
We’re in our foot health era. Gone are the days of flimsy flats and revenge heels.
Today’s icons are choosing sandals that prioritise feel without compromising the fit. Birkenstock’s anatomically designed footbeds offer just that. You’re not just walking. You’re aligning.
And here’s the kicker — orthopaedic shoes, long recommended by doctors across the world, are finally being seen in a new light. With their focus on posture correction, joint relief, and long-term foot health, they’re no longer just for clinics. They’re fashion-approved.
The moment you feel the deep heel cup do its thing? That’s your villain origin story. Or hero arc. Depending on the sock.
Sandals are the New Street-Style Signal
With fashion inspiration moving fast on platforms like Instagram, the rise of wearable luxury is now visual. Street-style accounts and influencer Reels are brimming with step-ins, outfit shots, and slow pan-ups that almost always land on a pair of Gizeh sandals.
Their sleek toe-post and minimalist design make them the perfect crossover between style and structure. Whether you’re heading to a concert or brunching at a rooftop cafe, these sandals don’t just complete the look — they make it.
The Big Reveal: Comfort Was Always Cool
Here’s the truth: we didn’t suddenly discover functional footwear. We just finally admitted it’s what we always wanted. Even at the peak of our stiletto addiction, something inside us whispered, “There has to be a better way.”
And there was. Birkenstock was already there. Patient. Supportive. Waiting.
While fashion chased pain, they perfected the art of the practical. Today, Birkenstock women’s sandals aren’t just a trend. They’re the blueprint.
Let Your Feet Join the Fashion Conversation
If you’re still clinging to shoes that once got you compliments but now get you cramps, it may be time.
The rise of women’s sandals that marry utility with aesthetics is no longer a quiet rebellion. It’s a global movement with German-made roots.
So, whether you’re a first-time buyer or a longtime loyalist, it’s clear: fashion has finally caught up with function.
Your feet deserve better. Start where the revolution began.
The shift towards smarter, more connected operations is no longer a distant ideal but a practical necessity. The backbone of this transformation lies in the deployment of sophisticated electrical instruments and devices, which enable industries to optimise processes, increase efficiency, and enhance overall productivity.
At its core, industrial automation hardware refers to the physical devices and equipment used to control, monitor, and manage industrial processes. This includes sensors, actuators, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human-machine interfaces (HMIs), and communication modules. Together, these components form the foundation that supports the automation of tasks, from simple repetitive actions to complex system-wide controls.
Unlike manual operations, where human intervention is required at every step, automation hardware allows systems to run with minimal human input. This not only reduces the risk of human error but also ensures consistency and precision in production lines.
Integration in Smart and Connected Systems
One of the most significant advantages of employing automation equipment is the ability to create smart, interconnected systems. Industrial facilities today are evolving into interconnected ecosystems where machines communicate seamlessly, share real-time data, and adapt quickly to changing conditions.
This level of connectivity is possible due to the integration of advanced sensors and communication devices that feed data into central control units. These units then analyse the data and adjust operations accordingly. For example, if a sensor detects a temperature fluctuation, the system can automatically alter cooling mechanisms without manual oversight.
By incorporating such automation hardware, companies gain unprecedented visibility into their operations. This visibility is essential for predictive maintenance, quality control, and energy management, which collectively drive efficiency and cost savings.
Enhancing Efficiency and Productivity
Industrial automation hardware directly contributes to higher efficiency by enabling processes that are faster and more reliable than manual methods. With precise timing and control, production can continue uninterrupted, often around the clock, thereby maximising output.
Furthermore, automation devices reduce wastage by maintaining optimal operational parameters. For instance, automated dosing systems ensure that raw materials are used accurately, which decreases the risk of overuse or spillage.
Automation also facilitates flexibility. Modern equipment can be reprogrammed to accommodate changes in production requirements without the need for extensive physical modifications. This adaptability is crucial in industries where customisation and short product lifecycles are common.
Safety and Compliance
Beyond efficiency, automation hardware significantly improves workplace safety. By deploying devices that handle hazardous or repetitive tasks, the exposure of personnel to dangerous conditions is minimised. For example, robotic arms can perform heavy lifting or operate in environments with harmful chemicals, protecting workers from injury.
Additionally, automated systems maintain thorough records of operational data, which assist in regulatory compliance. Accurate logging of production metrics, safety checks, and maintenance activities ensures adherence to industry standards and reduces the risk of penalties.
Challenges and Considerations
While the benefits are substantial, the integration of industrial automation hardware requires careful planning and investment. Selecting the right electrical instruments tailored to specific operational needs is vital. Compatibility between various devices and systems must be assured to avoid disruptions.
Moreover, skilled personnel are essential to deploy and maintain these systems effectively. Training and ongoing support ensure that equipment functions optimally and that potential issues are promptly addressed.
The Future of Industrial Automation Hardware
The future points towards even greater connectivity and intelligence. Emerging technologies such as edge computing and advanced communication protocols promise to enhance the responsiveness and autonomy of industrial systems. As these developments unfold, automation equipment will become more adaptable, efficient, and capable of self-optimisation.
Organisations that proactively incorporate these advancements into their operations will be well-positioned to meet evolving market demands and maintain a competitive edge.
Benefits of Partnering with Reputable Energy Brands
Incorporating automation hardware often goes hand in hand with optimising energy use. Partnering with established energy providers offers several advantages that complement smart industrial operations. Trusted energy brands bring expertise in efficient power management, ensuring that electrical instruments operate with minimal energy loss.
They also provide reliable support services and customised solutions that align with an organisation’s unique energy requirements. This collaboration helps in reducing operational costs while enhancing sustainability efforts, a growing priority in today’s industry.
Furthermore, reputable energy partners assist with compliance related to energy regulations, helping businesses avoid fines and maintain good standing with authorities. Their experience in deploying energy-efficient systems can accelerate the adoption of cutting-edge automation hardware, enabling seamless integration and long-term reliability.
