By Mohammed Ahsanuddin Haseeb
Principal Editor - Gulf Region
REVEALED: There is one thing money can buy: convenience. Such as the luxury of flying almost anywhere in the world, at any time. And as people and businesses grow richer, so too is the executive jet industry.

In response, Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ), the largest executive jet manufacturer, last month launched its new ACJneo collection, which has already taken one order.

Existential Crisis: 'I Sacrificed Everything - Health, Wealth And Teenage To Study At IITs - But Why It's Not Worthy?'

By Ananya Rathi in Mumbai
In eighth standard, I volunteered to revise one of the Anglo-Indian battles for the class. Using the blackboard, I described the various players and events of the battle in great detail, making up for my faltering English with infectious enthusiasm.

Impressed, my class teacher asked me, “So what have you finally decided? Who do you want to be: a cardiologist, a historian or a scientist?” Those days I used to proudly proclaim that I wished to be a cardiologist, primarily because my doctor parents used to tell me that it was the hottest specialisation in medicine. Excited by my teacher’s praise, I went to my father and told him about it. It brought a proud smile on his face and he said, “Tell her you want to become an IITian.”

New 'Bandhan Bank' Is Born: Chandra Shekhar Ghosh's Incredible Journey From 'Sweet Shop To A Bank Owner'

By Promila Dutta in Kolkata
In most Indian languages, the word Bandhan means bond or togetherness. His bond with the credit-deprived poor in Eastern India’s villages and a Rs 2 lakh loan were the initial capital for Chandra Shekhar Ghosh, the son of a small sweet-shop owner from Bengal, to begin a microfinance institution, Bandhan Financial Services Ltd, and grow it to a private bank in less than 15 years.

Bandhan Bank, India's latest private lender, will be officially launched in Kolkata on 23 August. On the first day, the bank will have a loan book of Rs 11,000 crore, close to 600 branches, 10 million customers and a net worth of Rs 3,200 crore. That’s the kind of numbers good enough to generate envy for any banker in India and requires years of hard work to achieve.

By Atif Alam in Mumbai

This is definitely the USP of the phone. Also apart from being a slim phone, it’s also light at just 97 grams. The metallic frame with the double layer of bright aluminium coating, adds a touch of class to this slim phone.

The volume rocker buttons located on the left hand side and the power standby button on the right hand side, both have metallic build and a good feedback. The top of the phone is clean whereas the base has the 3.5 mm audio jack and Micro USB charging port.
