Sony WH-1000XM5 one of the best in noise cancelling headphones
Sony WH-1000XM5, the successor to popular and best-selling WH-1000XM4 was launched in India recently. The new wireless headphones from Sony bring a new design and industry leading noise cancelling experience.
The biggest change with WH-1000XM5 comes in the form of a complete redesign and looks distinct from previous 1000X series. The headband of WH-1000XM5 is thinner than its predecessor and there is a single stem now holding the ear cups at both sides. This redesign makes WH-1000XM5 more comfortable to wear but does impact the mobility offered by XM4s.
The minimalism and refined design means the ear pads are a bit wider and the memory foam material also improves overall comfort. The ear cups still pivot and turn just like their predecessor but they don’t fold anymore. They also bring support for wearing detection enabling instant pause and instant play on the headphones.
With WH-1000XM5, Sony is balancing the act between extended comfort and premium design.
Another change with the 1000XM5 is Sony’s decision to switch from 40mm drivers in the XM4 to new 30mm drivers providing good sound quality and ANC. While this switch is not a big one, it brings a slight change in sound profile. The most significant change is visible with XM5’s ability to bring more details to the forefront.
They are even among the most natural sounding headphones in this segment. Sony WH-1000XM5 excel at bringing a refined, detailed sound profile and also sound spacious. You can even use the Headphones Connect app available on Android and iOS to bring the energetic sound profile of XM4.
A dual processor now aids the natural sounds of XM5 to improve the noise cancellation. It is more adept at cancelling street noise or ambient noise than its predecessor while maintaining the benchmark performance of noise suppression on a plane. If noise cancellation on XM4 was great then this brings subtle but noticeable improvement to that experience.
Another area where WH-1000XM5 brings marked improvement over its predecessor is voice calling experience. The 1000XM5 has a total of eight microphones and four of those are used for voice. The microphone performance paired with AI-powered noise reduction, XM5 delivers big improvement over XM4.
The WH-1000XM5 supports LDAC, Sony’s codec for high-resolution audio, with or without wires. Though limited to Android, the feature allows users to listen to hi-res music on streaming music platforms like Apple Music. It also brings support for multipoint, which comes handy in hybrid work environments allowing you to connect to two devices at once.
Sony WH-1000XM5 also supports 360 Reality Audio to deliver an optimised and immersive listening experience by analysing individual ear shape.
With the XM5, Sony has also improved its “speak to chat” feature which can detect when you are talking and automatically pause the music and enable transparency mode. The feature seems to trigger more naturally now than its predecessor. The operation is similar to XM4 wherein you control them with taps and swipes on the right ear cup.
Sony claims the XM5 will last for 30 hours with noise cancellation and it’s hard to argue against the claim. However, you can stretch that endurance further by disabling some of the AI-powered features and noise cancellation. It also supports quick charge offering three hours of playback time after just 3 minutes of charge.
Sony WH-1000XM5 breaks from tradition with its refined design and comfortable wearing experience. It also retains its industry leading noise cancellation while offering a clear and natural sound. It may not be a huge upgrade over XM4 but they are undoubtedly the best noise-cancelling headphones out there.

Happu Ki Ultan Paltan celebrates 900 episodes completion!
&TV’s gharelu comedy show Happu Ki Ultan Paltan has completed its 900 episodes. The show narrates the escapades of DarogaHappu Singh (Yogesh Tripathi), his Dabangg Dulhaniya Rajesh (Kamna Pathak), an obstinate mother, Katori Amma (Himani Shivpuri), and his nine notorious children, has been successfully entertaining the audiences with its rib-tickling tracks. To celebrate their success, the entire team cut the cake on the sets. Speaking about 900 episodes completion, Yogesh Tripathi, aka DarogaHappu Singh, says, “Making someone laugh is not easy, and comedy is said to be the toughest genre. I feel lucky to be a part of the show, which has consistently managed to tickle viewers’ funny bones. Happu Ki Ultan Paltan has given me an opportunity and gratified me as an actor, but also, the character’s popularity has made me a household name. Everywhere I go, my fans call out to me using the phrase‘ Arre Dada’. I feel proud when fans across the country refer to me as Happu instead of Yogesh. During my recent trip to Varanasi for Dev Deepawali with Kamna, I decided to explore the city as Yogesh. However, I was surprised at how many people recognised me without my costume and insisted on taking selfies while telling me how much they enjoyed our show. Achieving another milestone by completing 900 episodes is a testament to the team’s hard work. Darshakon ne hamparapna jo pyaarnyochavarkiyaunkabhautshukriya!
Kamna Pathak, aka Rajesh Happu Singh, adds,“I cannot thank my fans enough for helping us achieve another benchmark. Completing 900 episodes showcases the entire creative and support team’s hard work to present one of the finest comedy shows for the audience. While talking about the show and its success, I am having flashbacks to the first time I saw myself as Rajesh. I was nervous and excited at the same time. It has been a wonderful journey so far, and I hope it continues forever”. Himani Shivpuri, aka Katori Amma, says,”I would like to thank the entire team for their never-ending efforts to make our audience laugh. I am thankful to the audience for their love and respect for Katori Amma. This kind of success gives artists a sense of accomplishment. Congratulations to the channel and our producers on reaching 900 episodes, and I can’t wait to cut a 1000-episode cake”.

Equity Markets may bring year end cheer for investors says DSP Mutual Fund
November 28, 2022: After a poor show in the first ten months of 2022, the equity markets finally look like they may have year-end cheer for investors says DSP Mutual Fund in its monthly report Netra which tracks the latest economic trends and insights.
The November issue of DSP Mutual Fund’s Netra mentions that factors like central banks expected to moderate interest rate hikes in the future, easing of supply-chain costs, squeezing of systemic liquidity and fall in natural gas prices along with a possible return of FII buying may ease volatile equity markets in the near future. Already, global container shipping rates, one of the biggest sources of supply side inflation, are down 67% from their peak of last year and are approaching pre-covid levels. The freight rates for container ships is now down 68% to $1,486 per container. With inflation under control the pressure on the RBI to hike interest rates would reduce. If this interest rate hike cycle is shorter, then Nifty valuations could remain higher than in the past, adds DSP Mutual Fund.
Less volatile markets will create more opportunities for active stock picking. Even in the first ten months of this calendar year; while the Nifty index itself rose less than 5%, the Nifty Bank index rose almost 17.5% over the same period. “The equity market seems poised to move up in line with its long term secular trend, as FIIs seem less bearish on Indian equities, valuations as evidenced by the price earnings ratio have become more attractive and Indian investors continue regular investments in equity mutual funds via SIPs,” said Sahil Kapoor, market strategist and head of products at DSP Mutual Fund.
DSP Mutual Fund believes that the banking sector still offers attractive potential for appreciation. Banks now have much less dud loans on their balance sheet and demand for loans is showing a sharp increase in line with the revival in the economy. This means their income levels will rise without a commensurate increase in defaults. For some large banks net non-performing loans have fallen to decade lows and bank balance sheets remain robust.
Another sector showing promise in line with PM Modi’s focus on ‘Make in India’ is the defence sector. Domestic firms are manufacturing more equipment in India both to meet our own needs and for exports. As a result, defence exports have risen more than 6 times in the last 7 years. With a mindful blend of respectable valuations and thoughtful earnings, investors can reap benefits from this sector, adds DSP Mutual Fund
As demand for goods rises, factories are running near to capacity. To meet growing demand, industries will now have to buy more machines. Capital goods companies that manufacture such machinery are seeing a big increase in orders. This will mean an increase in their sales and profits offering investors yet another chance at good returns cites Netra.

When a person’s weight interferes with their general health and has the potential to lead to the start of chronic, potentially fatal ailments including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and others, it can become a problem. The slow and steady nature of weight increase makes it possible for people to miss its warning signs until they walk on a scale.
If routine tasks like grocery shopping and cooking exhaust you, you’re probably gaining weight. Excess fat in your body can cause inflammation, resulting in a constant state of fatigue and tiredness.
Cravings increased
Cravings for desserts and sweets, as well as a significantly increased appetite, may be signs of weight gain. Excess body weight can cause stress and depression, which can increase your appetite. When you are stressed or depressed, your adrenal glands release the hormone cortisol, which causes your appetite to increase. Here are 8 weight loss snacks that you can bring to work with you.
Rising parameters
If you have high blood sugar or cholesterol levels, it could be an indication that you are gaining weight. According to a study conducted by American Heart Association researchers, small weight gains around the abdominal region in healthy adults may result in high blood pressure.
Increasing waistline
If your jeans no longer fit like they used to, it is time to shed those extra pounds. When you begin to gain weight, the fat tends to be stored first around your hips and belly. According to research from the Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, people who sit all day at work tend to gain weight around their waist first.
Painful joints
If your joints hurt, this is your body’s way of telling you that it is time to lose weight. Excess fat can put pressure on joints and wear down the tissue surrounding them, causing pain and inflammation.
Short of breath
If you get out of breath just walking a few steps or climbing a few stairs, it could be an indication that you are overweight. Excess body weight can strain your cardiovascular system, making it difficult for your heart to supply enough oxygen to your body, resulting in shortness of breath.
Lethargy
If you choose the elevator over the stairs, this could be a red flag. Your weight can prevent you from actively moving or even going to the gym to exercise. Also, read about how ten minutes of walking every three hours can help you lose weight.
Snoring at night
If you snore at night and rarely get a good night’s sleep, you may have sleep apnea, a condition in which irregular breathing interrupts your sleep. This condition can be caused by your excess body weight. This is because storing fat around the neck can narrow the airway and cause breathing pauses.
Stretch marks
Excess fat can stretch the tissue beneath your skin. Some people get stretch marks at the slightest weight gain, whereas others have resilient skin that can withstand the stretching. Learn how to get rid of stretch marks.
Swollen sore feet
Having a sore fight could be one of the sure signs that you are overweight because your feet carry all of your body’s weight and become sore and swollen. The swelling is caused by a buildup of fluid in the tissues, which primarily collects in the feet.

The government will soon constitute a committee of retired vice-chancellors to address the concerns of vice chancellors over the implementation of the NEP, Mr Patil said.
Taking note of the dismal percentage of voter registration by students of universities and colleges, he said “The government will issue a resolution mandating students to get their voter registration done for getting admission to colleges.” As against the goal of attaining the enrolment of 50 lakhs students in the higher education system, Maharashtra has enrolment of only 32 lakh students, Patil said.
The minister called upon universities to run a campaign to improve the enrollment percentage.
He also said there was a need to take into cognisance the recommendations of NEP regarding providing education in mother tongue and skill development.
State Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari called upon vice chancellors of public universities in Maharashtra to turn universities ‘aatmanirbhar’ (self-reliant) to attain the goal of ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’.
