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! It is known as the eastern stretch because it stretches the front of the body, and yogis traditionally practice facing the east. The benefits of the asana are that it strengthens the upper body, improves posture and tones the legs and hips

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.

It is also about the joys of community. 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. Sometimes, simply making space for queer stories in everyday life can be a meaningful act of solidarity]]></image:caption><image:loc><![CDATA[https://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2026/jun/PrideMonth2026Mumbaiguidenews.jpg]]></image:loc><image:caption><![CDATA[Read queer IndiaSkip the algorithm and pick up stories rooted closer home. Start with Funny Boy by Shyam Selvadurai because fiction is always more fun. A non-fiction title that is also un-put-down-able is Love, Sex and India: The Agents of Ishq Anthology, with many a queer story about Indians experiences with sex. If you want something more serious, try Deviants by Santanu Bhattacharya, which tells the stories of three different generations of queer Indians]]></image:caption><image:loc><![CDATA[https://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2026/jun/PrideMonthlatestculturenews2026.jpg]]></image:loc><image:caption><![CDATA[Dont forget to danceOn June 21, Gay Gaze founder Winnie Chopra will host the Big Fat Gay Fake Shaadi at The Scene, Bandra, with Thats so Gay!, Social Ketchup, and Local Samosa.

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.

musicIf we take a look at Indian music it mainly has three major streams namely classical music, devotional and folk music]]></image:caption><image:loc><![CDATA[https://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2026/jun/indianclassicalmusic4.jpg]]></image:loc><image:caption><![CDATA[Indian Classical MusicIndian classical music is deeply rooted in Vedic traditions and is highly structured, centred mostly on melodic forms like ragas. The popular examples of our country`s classical music include Hindustani Classical music and Carnatic music. Hindustani classical music traces its roots in the Sama Veda, where hymns where chanted using specific notes that were later turned into the Natyashastra. Another notable feature of Hindustani classical music was that it was divided into gharanas or different schools of music; each school or gharana had its own distinct style, its own interpretation of ragas, and a set of philosophy. Some of these famous gharanas of Hindustani classical music were Gwalior, Jaipur and Agra. Some of the most celebrated figures in Hindustani classical music include legendary maestros such as Pandit Ravi Shankar, Ustad Zakir Hussain, and Pandit Bhimsen Joshi, whose remarkable contributions have played a pivotal role in popularising the rich tradition of Indian classical music across the world.Carnatic music also traces its origin to the Sama Veda, but unlike Hindustani Classical Music, Carnatic Music doesn`t have Central Asian or Persian influences. Some of the famous artists from Carnatic music include names like M.S. Subbulakshmi, Dr M. Balamuralikrishna, Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer, and Lalgudi Jayaraman]]></image:caption><image:loc><![CDATA[https://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2026/jun/indianclassicalmusic2.jpg]]></image:loc><image:caption><![CDATA[Devotional musicDevotional music is a genre of music which mostly a genre of musical expression designed to accompany religious observances, rituals, and personal meditation. Some of the most popular genres of devotional music include Bhajans, Kirtans and Qawwalis. Bhajans are dedicated to various Hindu gods, goddesses, avatars, and spiritual teachers. They are meant to be a personal, emotional expression of love, surrender, and worship to the divine.
Kirtans, on the other hand, were popularised during the Vaishnavite movement in Bengal by the saint Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. This form of devotional music was also later picked up by Sikhism, where Shabad Kirtan were dedicated to the Supreme creator.
Qawallis, on the other hand, originated from Sufism. The primary purpose of this music is to evoke religious ecstasy, devotion, and a deep, spiritual longing for union with the divine.]]></image:caption><image:loc><![CDATA[https://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2026/jun/indianclassicalmusic5.jpg]]></image:loc><image:caption><![CDATA[Folk musicContrary to classical music, folk music follows cultures and is deeply rooted in community traditions. Some of the most popular variations are Baul from West Bengal, Powada from Maharashtra, Maand from Rajasthan and many more.
Some of the most celebrated folk music artists in India include Mame Khan from Rajasthan, renowned for bringing the rich traditions of Manganiyar music to national and international audiences. Malini Awasthi from Uttar Pradesh, often hailed as the "Folk Queen of India", is known for her mastery of Awadhi and Bundelkhandi music and her efforts to preserve regional traditions. The Nooran Sisters from Punjab have also earned widespread acclaim for their powerful Sufi-infused performances and emotionally charged live renditions.Together, these artists have helped preserve and popularise India`s rich and diverse folk music heritage for newer generations]]></image:caption><image:loc><![CDATA[https://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2026/jun/indianclassicalmusic6.jpg]]></image:loc><image:caption><![CDATA[Fusion formsMusic in India has never shied from experimenting and that means combining different forms of traditional and comp music to produce something extremely new. Some of most prominent examples include Rabindra sangeet that mixes Carnatic and Hindustani classical forms of music, another example can be seen in Gondhal, which is a fusion of folk and devotional and there are also many more forms of music that often mix two genres]]></image:caption><image:keyword><![CDATA[World Music Day, Indian music, Indian classical music, music traditions of India, Indian musical heritage, timeless melodies, ancient music traditions, classical ragas, folk music of India, diverse music forms, Indian culture, musical legacy, World Music Day celebration, rich musical heritage, Indian art and culture, traditional Indian music, Indian melodies, music genres of India]]></image:keyword></image:image></url><url><loc><![CDATA[https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/photo/kangana-ranaut-to-aishwarya-rai-actors-who-played-nurse-on-screen-111546]]></loc><image:image><image:loc><![CDATA[https://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2026/jun/actnurse0.jpg]]></image:loc><image:caption><![CDATA[Kangana Ranaut in Bharat Bhhagya ViddhaataKangana Ranaut is gearing up for release of Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, in which she plays a nurse at Cama Hospital.

Despite these Jupiter and Venus appearing very close or touching each other, they are separated by a distance of millions of kilometres. Usually, they are anywhere between 675 million to 825 million km, as it keeps on changing.

Interestingly, Venus appears significantly brighter than Jupiter, even though it is much smaller. This happens because Venus is so much closer to Earth at approximately 38 million km, than usually seen at about 39 million km. Conjunction of both these planets occurs on average once every 13 months, but their visibility from Earth varies significantly. Sometimes they occur too close to the Sun to be seen, making spectacular viewing events happen only once every few years

The song was written by the Colombian singer and American music producer and songwriter John Hill, and features the South African band Freshlyground, for the tournament that took place in South Africa in 2010.
It was sampled from the 1986 Cameroonian makossa song `Zamina mina (Zangalewaa), by the group Golden Sounds, and has lived with us since then, and one has to listen to it with the football tournament around the corner]]></image:caption><image:loc><![CDATA[https://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2026/jun/Shakirasongphotos.jpg]]></image:loc><image:caption><![CDATA[Wavin` FlagThe World Cup that gave us `Waka Waka` also gave us `Wavin` Flag`, a song by Somali-Canadian singer K`naan, that was used by Coca Cola as its promotional anthem for the 2010 edition.
Interestingly, the song was a part of the artist`s 2009 album `Troubadour` and became an instant hit. It was originally written for the people of Somalia and their aspirations, but was also used as a song of hope after the Haiti earthquake.
Over time, football fans across the world including India keep revisiting it because of its peppy beats

Collaborating with Jennifer Lopez and Claudia Leitte, it continued the tradition of FIFA World Cup anthems that have become iconic since then, and end up being dance numbers at every party.
The song is part of `One Love, One Rhythm  The 2014 FIFA World Cup Official Album` and was co-written by Sia, RedOne, Danny Mercer, Dr. Luke, Cirkut, and Thomas Troelsen]]></image:caption><image:loc><![CDATA[https://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2026/jun/WillSmithnews.jpg]]></image:loc><image:caption><![CDATA[`Live it Up`While the bar was set really high with the previous ones, `Live it Up` by Nicky Jam, Will Smith, and Era Istrefi put together this track for the FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia, and is worth a listen, if you are revisiting the FIFA anthems.
Last but not the least, `Hayya Hayya` by Trinidad Cardona, Davido,  Aisha for the 2022 edition is definitely worth revisiting because of its unique tunes that are unlike any other before.
Now that you have reached here, don`t forget to listen to `Dai Dai` by Shakira and Burna Boy that has been on every football fan`s playlist since it released recently]]></image:caption><image:keyword><![CDATA[FIFA World Cup 2026, FIFA World Cup 2026 anthems, FIFA World Cup 2026 music anthems, FIFA World Cup 2026 music anthems, FIFA World Cup 2026 news today, FIFA World Cup 2026 music news, Lifestyle culture news ]]></image:keyword></image:image></url><url><loc><![CDATA[https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/photo/before-ranveer-singh-and-farhan-akhtar-these-btown-bffs-also-had-a-major-fallout-111428]]></loc><image:image><image:loc><![CDATA[https://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2026/jun/actsfallout5.jpg]]></image:loc><image:caption><![CDATA[Karan Johar-Kartik Aaryan
