Lifestyle: real stories and useful tips for life in India

Want straightforward, useful takes on living in India? This tag brings you short guides, personal views and practical reporting that actually help with day-to-day life. From how people spend an average day to choosing healthcare, from dance classes to commuting tricks, the pieces here are written to give clear next steps, not just opinions.

What you’ll read here

Expect a mix: quick explainers about routines and culture, hands-on tips for services and classes, and reports on how politics or business affect daily life. For example, read our piece "What is an average day like in India for an average person?" for realistic routines you can adopt or test. If you care about health choices, "The impact of privatization on healthcare costs and quality in India" walks you through what private hospitals offer and when public care might be better.

Culture and hobbies matter too. Looking for dance? Our review "Which is the best Bhangra class in Delhi?" tells you what to expect from top studios and how to pick one that matches your fitness and social goals. If you travel a lot, check articles on airlines like "How is Air India's trajectory after Tata's takeover?" to know what service changes to expect when booking flights.

We also cover social issues that shape lifestyle: jobs, recruitment and identity (see "Are Jaats favoured in the recruitment of Delhi Police?"), or how public opinion forms around leaders ("What does the Delhi public actually think about Arvind Kejriwal?"). Even stories that seem political often affect daily life—housing, safety, services and festival plans.

Quick, practical takeaways

- Want a calmer commute? Try shifting one task to the morning and pack a light snack. Little routine swaps cut stress fast.

- Choosing healthcare: compare treatment costs and outcomes, not just fancy equipment. Private clinics can be faster but pricier; public hospitals often handle serious cases better for lower cost.

- Pick a dance or fitness class by watching a trial session. Look for instructors who teach technique and safety, not just moves.

- Be cautious with rumors. Our coverage of incidents showing false community claims reminds you to verify before sharing.

- If you travel with legacy carriers, check recent reviews and cancellation policies—turnaround after takeovers can change service quickly.
