In the misty embrace of Landour, a charming hillside town in Uttarakhand steeped in literary history, TheWriteScene’s Landour Writers’ Retreat recently unfolded like a rich tapestry of inspiration and creativity. Conceived by award-winning author Deeba Salim Irfan, this retreat was more than a meeting of minds; it was a haven for writers from across India seeking to hone their craft amid the peaceful landscape that inspired celebrated author Ruskin Bond.
The retreat gathered an eclectic group of writers—self-published authors, emerging voices, and even those on the cusp of mainstream recognition, like Rana Preet Gill, whose upcoming novel will soon grace shelves under Penguin’s imprint. Through a thoughtfully designed itinerary, Deeba’s vision came alive, offering a harmonious blend of skill-building, introspection, and literary immersion.
Workshops led by literary stalwarts offered participants tailored insights into the writing process. Premanka joined as a guest host, lending his editorial expertise to guide writers and help refine their manuscripts. Writers also had the unique chance to contribute to Leaves from Landour, an anthology inspired by the region, to be published by TheWriteScene in 2025.
n addition to intensive workshops, the retreat offered a menu of enriching activities, each designed to deepen participants’ connection with the land and unlock their creative potential. Writers were treated to hikes through the enchanting Jaberkhet Nature Reserve, sessions of flute yoga, and forest bathing, each activity fostering a profound connection between nature and creativity. Sound healing sessions further enriched the experience, helping participants tap into the inner silence often vital for creativity.
Adding a layer of warmth to the gathering was a heartfelt message from Ruskin Bond himself, encouraging attendees to embrace both solitude and the creative journey. His words echoed through the retreat, creating a reverent space for introspection and self-discovery.
The retreat has left participants brimming with enthusiasm for future gatherings, with many, like Bijitri Roy—a former corporate lawyer and budding writer—expressing a desire to return. For these writers, the retreat wasn’t merely a workshop but a transformative journey—a blend of growth, inspiration, and community that left an indelible mark on their creative lives.
Premanka captured the essence of the retreat in his reflection and concluded, “The Landour retreat was an incredibly enriching experience. Hats off to Deeba for crafting an ambiance ripe for reading, writing, and ideation. I wish her the very best as she continues to inspire the writing community.”
Small businesses are more optimistic about their future than ever, but realizing their potential will likely mean juggling content creation with a slew of other priorities.
Economic challenges such as high inflation, for example, mean entrepreneurs have to make sure they have enough revenue coming in. A good team can help, but job vacancies can be difficult to fill when talented staff leave for another position elsewhere. This is on top of dealing with ongoing supply chain issues and juggling customer service issues.
As a result, small businesses need to be extra productive and efficient in everything they do, from capturing information about new customers to developing marketing materials that build brand awareness and affinity.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 was designed with these small business needs in mind. It’s a foldable mobile device offering a compact design, flexible connectivity and convenience for professionals whose work takes them from the office to their home, customer sites, industry events and beyond.
When you break down what small business employees do throughout the day, a lot of it involves content capture. In other words, you and your team often need to take photos and videos to pitch customers and collaborate with coworkers on critical tasks. Here’s how the Galaxy Z Flip6 makes those processes easier and more streamlined than you might have thought possible:
1. Super-steady shots, without the tripod
Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and TikTok are great marketing platforms for small businesses that want to showcase their products and services. For instance, you might want to photograph your company’s presence at a festival or trade fair or film a clip highlighting your expert team’s customer-friendly service. But when a photo is blurry, or video footage is shaky, it’s not usable on social or anywhere else.

Galaxy Z Flip6 FlexMode automatically adjusts the device’s user interface layout when folded halfway to create an L-shape. This lets you shoot images at the perfect angle, including long-exposure images, by standing it up on a surface rather than fiddling with a cumbersome tripod.
A wide lens could be ideal for taking a photo for your “About Us” page featuring your entire team, while the ultra-wide lens gives you a panoramic view to capture all the customers attending your product launch or other event.
2. Hands-free filming
Sometimes, the content capture you need to do for business purposes requires coming out from behind the camera and getting in on the action. Think about the opportunities to provide an on-demand demo or explainer video of your product for YouTube or interview one of your most loyal customers to create a testimonial clip for your website.
Traditionally, this has been difficult or impossible without a coworker nearby to help. Galaxy Z Flip6 provides another option thanks to FlexCam with Galaxy AI.* Whether you’re taking shots of team-building exercises or conference attendees, FlexCam can automatically keep everyone in frame and zoom in for an incredibly clear photo.
3. Clear picture-taking at any time of day
Portrait Zoom is a feature that lets you get the close-up you need to convey exactly what you want your audience to see, thanks to a 10x improvement in zoom power and quality based on multi-frame processing. When held in FlexMode, Galaxy Z Flip6 lets you easily control the cam with one hand and use Smooth Zoom control to easily capture product demos, site tours and more.
There’s also Hyperlapse, which can record at various frame rates if you want to walk through the key features of a product or service at a pace that makes it easy for your audience to take it all in. Finally, Night Mode and Night Hyperlapse can ensure your business photos and videos look great even when the lighting is less than ideal.
Using Galaxy Watch7, for example, you don’t even have to reach for your smartphone to push buttons when capturing content. Just make the right gestures, and the watch will control Galaxy Z Flip6 to zoom in for a better angle, crop your photos or perform other processes.
5. Work at the speed of business
Once you get used to taking pictures or videos on your smartphone, it becomes essential to your routine. Attending an industry event where the keynote speaker puts up a slide with details you want to discuss afterward? You’ll only have seconds to take a picture of it. Meeting with a client who outlines their key challenges and priorities on a whiteboard? You won’t want to waste much time snapping that, either.

Galaxy Z Flip6 includes Quick Shot, which accelerates your ability to get the images you need by taking photos even when the phone is folded.
6. Carry a studio in your pocket
You shouldn’t have to wait until you get back to the office and connect to your PC to begin enhancing the content you’ve captured. Galaxy Z Flip6 can ensure you’re always ready for your preferred way of taking pictures and videos by using the Quick Settings panel. This is where you can select or change everything from the timer to the aspect ratio, motion photos and Super Steady settings.
Quick Viewing, meanwhile, allows you to check what you’ve just captured and select the best photos or video footage to use. This can save time and hassle if you must retake the photos with employees or customers.
Galaxy Z Flip6 also provides Photo Assist with Galaxy AI to process your content. This way, if you’re shooting at home or on the street, you can make the photos look more professional by switching the background or adjusting the lighting.
Content creation for small businesses doesn’t have to be difficult. With a Galaxy Z Flip6, you can reach new levels of creativity to help drive more leads, build your brand and achieve other critical business outcomes.

It was an Olympic opening ceremony like never before, as the evening of July 26 turned Paris, one of the most storied cities in the world, into an open-air stadium. At the end of it, the Olympic cauldron soared high above the ground, meant to be seen from all over the city.

Unprecedented and irreverent, the Paris ceremony was everything French — from the classic Can Can dancers to the beloved cartoon Minions.
This was also an opening ceremony made for the live-streaming generation, as many of the performances were best viewed on the television screen, even as Parisians thronged the banks of the Seine to see the national teams cruising down the river.
Team Greece opened the parade of nations, as is Olympic custom, with the Olympic motto “Citius, Altius, Fortius” displayed on one of arches along the Seine.

Several kilometres of the river and the structures nearby became performance spaces as the boats carrying the teams kept coming. It drizzled throughout the evening, but the ceremony never missed a step.

Hard rock met opera, and street dancers in splashy water beds were complemented by acrobatic dancers in hard hats, using a scaffold high up as their stage.
Global superstar Lady Gaga and young French musician Aya Nakamura presented two very spectacular numbers. The evening ended with a stunning song by French-Canadian pop legend Celine Dion.

Amidst all the colours and celebrations on the ground and on the water, a mysterious hooded figure ran across rooftops, carrying the Olympic flame towards its final destination, the Olympic cauldron where the fire would be lit.
The runner passed through several eras of French history and revisited some remarkable episodes, such as the 1911 theft of the Mona Lisa from Musée Du Louvre Paris.

As the team boats cruised down the Seine, golden statues of pioneering French women began emerging from pillars placed at both edges of the river.
Soon, evening transitioned to night and — winning gold for creativity — the Olympic opening ceremony organisers sent a mechanical horse and rider galloping down the Seine, down an arrow-straight watery path that would take the horse towards the Eiffel Tower, for the culmination of the ceremony.

Then, flag-bearers of each national team took their place near the river bank, as a real horse and its rider advanced towards the ceremony stage, whose shape mimicked that of the tower.

Also hooded, and dressed in armour, the rider alighted from the horse, received the Olympic flag, and took it up to the stage for hoisting.
At this point, the Olympic torch had also arrived on the stage — American rapper Snoop Dogg was part of the torch relay — and it was received by French football icon Zinedine Zidane, to the ecstasy of the crowd.

The torch was then passed to Spanish tennis legend Rafael Nadal, whose 14 French Open titles make him, perhaps, part-French.
Carrying the Olympic flame, Nadal got onto a boat, accompanied by three other all-time greats: sprinter and long jumper Carl Lewis; gymnast Nadia Comaneci; and tennis player Serena Williams.

After a ride down the river, the Olympic flame entered the final leg of its journey, being handed over to French tennis champion Amélie Mauresmo.

Mauresmo ran with it for several minutes, her free hand extended to greet the people gathered along her route.
That route ended at the location of the Olympic cauldron — Jardin des Tuileries, the famed public garden between the Louvre museum and Place de la Concorde.
Passed from hand to hand, carried by sportspersons from different decades, the Olympic flame was finally with judo champion Teddy Riner and track and field champion Marie-Jose Perec. They would light the fire that would burn throughout the Olympic Games.

Like everything beyond imagination at the Paris ceremony, this Olympic cauldron, too, would defy all expectations.
Designed as a gas balloon, the Olympic cauldron was placed at the same location in Paris from where the first modern manned hydrogen balloon took off in December 1783.

As the two champions lit the cauldron with their torches, a glorious ring of fire was formed — slowly, the Olympic cauldron began to rise in the air. It rose high up, tethered to the ground with a barely visible line, high enough to be seen across Paris. And with that, the Paris Olympics 2024 officially began.
