Legend has it that in 1920 Bhupinder Singh, the maharaja of Patiala, was determined that his cricket team would triumph over a visiting English team. To gain the upper hand, he hosted a grand party the night before the match at which he served his guests Patiala pegs, famously generous four-finger whisky pours traditionally measured from pinky to index finger. Unsurprisingly, the English players overindulged, leaving them very hungover and, inevitably, defeated the next day, and the legend of the Patiala peg was born. This Punjabi kind-of old fashioned is inspired by Singh’s drink. At the restaurant, we serve it from a bespoke five-litre bottle, but we’ve adapted the recipe to make it more suitable for a domestic environment.Patiala pegMakes 1 litre, to serve 10-12 725g blended scotch whisky – we use Johnnie Walker Black Label 130g sugar syrup 6g Angostura bitters (about 1⅓ tsp) 1g orange bitters (about ⅕ tsp) A pinch of salt 2g xanthan gum Put everything in a large bottle or jug,  » Read More

Some popular social media apps might lose relevance in 2026 The landscape of social media has changed dramatically over the past few years, and with the beginning of 2026 around the corner, uncertainty is engulfing some of the prominent platforms, and they might even lose relevance and become obsolete next year, owing to shifting user preferences. Throughout 2025, internet users reportedly were fatigued with social media platforms, and the global average daily time spent on social media decreased from approximately 145 minutes in 2023 to 141 minutes by Q3 2025. This trend was particularly observed among younger users, who are more attracted towards niche and private spaces, leading to low engagement rates across major platforms. Several established apps are undergoing stagnation or decline in key engagement metrics. Here are five social media platforms facing significant challenges: X (formerly Twitter): The Elon Musk-owned microblogging platform has seen a decline in users and advertisers.  Snapchat: Although Snapchat maintains a strong connection with Gen Z, its growth has slowed, with daily active users around 469 million. For short-form video content, competition from TikTok and Instagram Reels has intensified. Facebook: While it has a massive total of 3.05 billion monthly active users, Facebook's demographics

Summarize Next Article The feature is currently available to some beta testers What's the story WhatsApp has introduced a new feature in its latest iOS update, version 25.37.10.74, via the TestFlight beta Program. The update brings the ability for channel admins to invite their contacts to follow their channels. This feature is currently being rolled out and is compatible with the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS version 25.37.10.74, according to WABetaInfo. How the feature works The new feature allows channel admins to open the channel info screen, select an invite option, and pick specific contacts from their address book. WhatsApp then automatically generates an invitation message that is sent directly to those contacts. The message includes a button for them to view and follow the channel instantly. This process gives admins a clear overview of who they are inviting while keeping it smooth for recipients. WhatsApp's approach to channel invitations When an admin sends channel invitations, WhatsApp creates a temporary broadcast list to send the invite to multiple contacts simultaneously. This method ensures the same invitation is sent efficiently without triggering spam detection systems that could be activated by sending identical messages in many individual chats. Broadcast lists are specifically

As we head into 2026, one thing is clear: LinkedIn profiles are no longer static resumes. They are living, breathing brand assets. The question isn’t whether you should update your LinkedIn profile, but how you will position yourself to build your personal brand in 2026. Before you rush to tweak a headline or swap a banner, pause. It’s time to reflect for a strategy moment. LinkedIn in 2026: It’s Not Just Visibility – It’s Positioning LinkedIn has become a hybrid of: A search engine, if you optimize it with the right keywords and content A content platform where you have social proof with visibility and discoverability A reputation builder A credibility check of your thought leadership and more! Recruiters, clients, donors, collaborators, and hiring managers don’t just skim profiles anymore. They pattern-match using their human intuition to make connections for a strategic advantage. This pattern-matching might include recognizing similar skills in candidates, trends in hiring, recurring behaviors, or themes, as well as coding themes for data analysis. They’re asking: Do I immediately

There is no better window into the soul of America’s striving professional class than LinkedIn, a site that this year often seemed less like a networking platform than an extended group therapy session. To doomscroll through it was to encounter one post after another about the barren landscape for job hunters — laments about resumes silently filtered out by AI-powered gatekeepers and employers ghosting candidates midway through their interview process. Users with little green “#OpenToWork” banners on their avatars — the cheery mark of the damned — commiserated about sending dozens if not hundreds of applications out into the ether without luck. Key takeaways Outside of early Covid days, 2025 was by some measures the worst job market since the aftermath of the Great Recession. Young college graduates, along with certain sectors, including manufacturing and Big Tech, faced particularly tough hiring environments. Trump’s immigration and tariff policies are partially to blame, but some economists say that other causes predate his presidency. “After nearly eight months of unemployment and a nonstop corporate job search in this brutal job market, I’ve pivoted,” began one such note. “I’ve made a decision to take a full-time role at Trader Joe’s.” The LinkedInners were not
