July 2023 Archive: What We Covered on India's Prime News

July was a busy month. We tested a new smartphone, explored a tricky social question, paired food with drinks, and stepped into a village. Below is a quick roundup of each story and why it mattered.

Tech Talk: Is the Infinix Note 12 Worth Buying?

If you’re hunting for a budget phone that still feels fast, the Infinix Note 12 was our latest test drive. The phone sports a large screen, decent camera, and a battery that lasts through a day of videos and games. We put it side by side with pricier models and found it holds its own in everyday tasks. The design is sleek, the performance smooth, and the price feels like getting a mid‑range phone for a low‑end budget. Bottom line: if you want solid specs without breaking the bank, this device is a strong pick.

Life & Culture: From Drunken Words to Rural Roots

One of our more controversial pieces asked whether we should take drunken remarks seriously. Alcohol can loosen tongues, letting people speak truthfully, but it also blurs facts. We argued that context matters—listen, but verify. Taking every slurred statement at face value can lead to misunderstandings, so a balanced approach is best.

On a completely different note, we visited an Indian rural village to feel the rhythm of daily life. The community is tightly knit; neighbors greet each other like family. Without high‑speed internet, people rely on face‑to‑face chats, chores, and local festivals. The slower pace can feel limiting, yet it offers a deep sense of belonging and a close connection to nature. Readers who’ve never lived in a village said the story helped them picture a lifestyle that’s simple but rich in culture.

Food Pairings: Which Indian Snacks Go Best with Beer?

Beer lovers asked for snack ideas that match Indian flavors. We listed crowd‑pleasers that stand up to hops and malt. Spicy masala peanuts give a crunch that cuts through bitterness. Tangy bhel puri adds a fresh zing, while samosas and pakoras offer a hearty, fried bite. For the adventurous, chil​li chicken or paneer tikka brings heat that amplifies the beer’s crispness. The key is to pick snacks with bold spices or tangy sauces—these balance the malt’s sweetness and keep the palate excited.

All four pieces share a common thread: they help readers make informed choices, whether it’s picking a phone, judging a conversation, ordering a bite, or understanding a way of life. We keep the tone friendly and the facts clear so you can walk away with something useful. Check back next month for more reviews, debates, recipes, and stories from across India.

Should people be taken seriously when they are drunk?

In my latest blog post, I delve into the topic of whether we should take people seriously when they are drunk. It's a tricky topic as alcohol can lower inhibitions, leading to honest, but sometimes exaggerated expressions of feelings. On the other hand, alcohol can also cause confusion, resulting in statements that may not reflect a person's true sentiments. I explore this delicate balance, highlighting the importance of context, discernment, and the potential dangers of taking every drunken word to heart. It's a fascinating discussion, reminding us that understanding human behavior is never cut and dried.

How is it like to live in an Indian rural village?

Living in an Indian rural village is an experience filled with simple joys. The community is tightly-knit, everyone knows everyone, and the sense of belonging is profound. The pace of life is slower, with nature playing a significant role in daily activities. The lack of modern amenities can be a challenge, but the rich cultural traditions and strong social fabric more than make up for it. The rural Indian lifestyle offers a unique perspective on sustainability, community and contentment.
