theyre practical men who have no emotions. Well, thats a big fat lie! Dads are softies, who melt quicker than ice. Moreover, theyre old-school softies. This year, write him a letter, like they did in his era (probably the 1800s, lol). I know its been a while since you wrote one, but this is the time to use those informal letter-writing skills you learnt in school. You can even make a card for him like we did when we were kids. Head to your nearest post office, and voila! Over the years, my dad and I have exchanged many letters and we preserve all of them. Believe me, this one really pulls at their heartstrings]]></image:caption><image:loc><![CDATA[https://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2026/jun/FathersDay2026giftideasphotos.jpg]]></image:loc><image:caption><![CDATA[A surprise packageThe most basic gift is of course flowers and a cake. Last year, I was super excited to send these to my dad. In the afternoon, I got the notification: Items delivered. I thought my father would call me all excited and thank me for the gift. Instead, I heard, Why are you wasting money on flowers? They go bad within two days. Please learn how to spend your money better. Sigh. Going forward, my recommendation would be to send something he might actually use. My fathers a big reader. So, books it is this year]]></image:caption><image:loc><![CDATA[https://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2026/jun/FathersDay2026movienights.jpg]]></image:loc><image:caption><![CDATA[Movie night inDo you know that feeling when you watch a movie and you think, Oh, my dad would love this, but you just cant watch it with him because he isnt there? This year when I went to watch Project Hail Mary, I cried like a baby. My father showed me The Martian (2015) when I was 11 years old. Before that, he showed me The Terminator (1984) when I was way too young to watch it. Though it left me permanently scared of the world ending, it also became food for thought for many, many conversations.
It was a way for a 42-year-old and an 11-year-old to have a conversation about how the world works and how it can be saved, which are not very popular topics of conversation for 11-year-olds. And yet, he was able to instill very important values in me.
Over the years, we have nurtured a thirst for sci-fi films which is only relinquished when we watch them together. So, Ive decided that we will watch Project Hail Mary together, virtually this year. You can pick your favourite, and watch it together.]]></image:caption><image:loc><![CDATA[https://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2026/jun/FathersDay2026giftideasfortoday.jpg]]></image:loc><image:caption><![CDATA[Fund a wardrobe interventionThe best Fathers Day gift? Book a flight ticket and go see him. Nothing beats that. But if thats not possible, heres the next best thing: let your dad go shopping and pick up the bill. Dads somehow wear the same five shirts for a decade and call it fashion. Consider this less of a gift and more of a public service. A new shirt, a pair of trousers, maybe even shoes if youre feeling generous. He gets new clothes, and you get to stop wondering what on earth hes wearing these days]]></image:caption><image:keyword><![CDATA[Sunday mid-day News, Sunday mid-day Trends, Sunday mid-day Updates, Latest Sunday mid-day Updates, Sunday mid-day, Trending, Father's Day 2026, Father's Day 2026 guide, Father's Day 2026 gift guide]]></image:keyword></image:image></url><url><loc><![CDATA[https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/photo/father-day-2026-iconic-on-screen-dads-of-bollywood-that-are-unmissable-111701]]></loc><image:image><image:loc><![CDATA[https://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2026/jun/imgi_135_59df562820631.jpg]]></image:loc><image:caption><![CDATA[Aamir Khan in Dangal (2016)

Revolved triangle or Parivrtta Trikonasana seems to have all but disappeared from most vinyasa flow classes.

Purvottanasana, or the eastern pose, is a backbend or an upward plank, which is one of the most beautiful ways to stretch the entire front body, from the chest to the tops of the feet!

The benefits of the asana are that it strengthens the upper body, improves posture and tones the legs and hips

Vasisthasana or the side plank pose strengthens the upper body like the Purvottanasana, but it focuses more on the side body, particularly the serratus anterior along the side ribs, the oblique abdominals and the quadratus lumborum on the side waist, and the gluteus medius on the lateral hip

He explains that while the dish is not traditionally Japanese, it represents the global evolution of sushi and appeals strongly to Indian tastes because of its combination of rich, creamy textures and bold flavours. "While the Avocado Cream Cheese Maki isn`t what youd find in a traditional, centuries-old Tokyo sushi den, it represents the brilliant Western evolution of sushi that conquered the world. By taking inspiration from global adaptations like the California roll, this dish strikes a perfect chord with the Indian palate. We naturally love a contrast of rich and creamy textures like paneer and vibrant finishes; the buttery smoothness of ripe avocados combined with indulgent cream cheese creates a comforting bite. When paired with the sharp kick of wasabi and the tang of pickled ginger, it satisfies that quintessential craving for a dish that is simultaneously rich, tang, and sharp, all rolled into one elegant, globally loved masterpiece," Sheong said. ]]></image:caption><image:loc><![CDATA[https://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2026/jun/SupaSanfoodsushirecipe.jpg]]></image:loc><image:caption><![CDATA[Ume Kyuri HososmakiAt Supa San, the chef says you can make a delicious Ume Kyuri Hososmaki.

out and supportThe best part of living in a city like Mumbai is how visible the queer community is here. It is, then, even more important to show up for each other. As queer plays get more and more time under the spotlight, one play we are really looking forward to is an Indian production of Cock. On June 17 and 18 at Prithvi Theatre, director Manish Gandhi will present their production which takes a sharp look at love, sexuality, and the pressure to define oneself. This ones only for the adults though.

Use the month to intentionally support queer creators online, order from queer-owned small businesses, stream queer musicians, or share informative resources with friends and family. You could even host a themed dinner, make a collaborative Pride playlist, or attend virtual events and workshops from home.

Weve been thankful to see Indian queer media, to get an experience that is closer to both home and heart. In Geeli Pucchi (2021), director Neeraj Ghaywan tackles caste within queer relationships. In the mini-series Class (2023), being queer isnt the big deal it is in real life. Instead, its just normal. It offers a more raw exploration of sexuality in the coming-of-age period of life rather than commentary on the tragic queer experience. Another favourite genre for this writer is queer stories with happy endings. Try Love, Simon (2018) and the un-missable TV series Heated Rivalry (2025)]]></image:caption><image:keyword><![CDATA[life and style, Sunday Mid-Day, lesbian gay bisexual transgender, LGBTQIA+, Mumbai.
