French expat ‘horrified' by state of Gurgaon: ‘I have never seen so much filth'
While some countries in Europe are famous for their cleanliness and infrastructure, Mathilde said that even countries in Africa, Asia and South America are '100 times cleaner' than India.
A scathing critique
The French expat launched a scathing critique of Gurgaon while responding to a video that shows piles of garbage covering the entire stretch of a road in front of a school. Mincing no words in her attack, she said she was 'horrified' by the state of the city.
'As a French expat living in Gurgaon, I am horrified by the actual state of the city. I have never seen so much filth, trash, and broken roads in any other country I have visited,' wrote Mathilde. 'Africa, Asia, and South America are 100 times cleaner. It is sad for Indians. And for India,' she added.
The conversation around Gurgaon's cleanliness
The issue of Gurgaon's infrastructure has come to the limelight after it was announced that the Haryana government is discussing the possibility of a Disneyland theme park near the city.
Former Jet Airways CEO Sanjiv Kapoor has launched a scathing criticism of civic authorities in Gurgaon, wondering how the state of Haryana could build a Disneyland without tackling the basic problem of waste management.
On Saturday, Kapoor took to his official X (formerly Twitter) account to post photos showing heaps of garbage scattered along a roadside in Sector 44, Gurgaon, with several cows standing or sitting amid the mess.

No Business, No Property? No Problem – UAE Opens Doors To Lifetime Residency For Indians
New Delhi: In the bustling visa offices of Delhi and Dhaka, there is a new buzz. It is not about real estate and launching companies. It is about a golden card to the Gulf minus the old baggage. For years, wealthy Indians dreaming of living in Dubai or Abu Dhabi had to buy properties worth crores or pour money into businesses. No papers, no penthouses, no visa. But that rulebook just got a rewrite. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has rolled out a nomination-based Golden Visa for Indians. You do not need a trade license. You do not need to purchase property. You do not even need to set foot in the UAE before your visa gets stamped. All you need is AED 1,00,000 (about Rs 23.3 lakh) and a clean slate. No criminal records. No money laundering. No social media skeletons. It is a pilot. India and Bangladesh are the first to get a seat at this new table. And the UAE is not doing it out of charity. This move is tied to growing partnerships, especially the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) with India that kicked off in May 2022. The Golden Visa has gone from being an elite prize to a soft-power tool. The paperwork is not a free-for-all. Rayad Group, a UAE-based consultancy, has been appointed to manage the nomination process. They are running background checks – deep ones. Think financial trail, legal history and digital footprint. Once done, they will forward the names to UAE officials for final approval. 'This is a golden window for Indian professionals, thinkers, creators and even retirees. You do not need to be a tycoon to live in the Emirates anymore,' said Rayad Kamal Ayub, who heads the group. Applications can be filed through One Vasco centres in India and Bangladesh or online via Rayad's portal. The numbers are already ticking. Over 5,000 Indians are expected to apply in just the first three months. And it is more than just a visa. It is a lifetime card. It gives you the right to live, work, sponsor family members, hire domestic help and do business. Unlike the earlier property-based system, this new visa does not vanish if you sell your house or shut your company. That is a big shift and a calculated one. The UAE wants more Indians. More long-term residents. More ties that go beyond weekend tourism and Expo selfies. The Gulf country is reshaping who it wants inside its borders, and India is clearly in its top picks. The plan does not stop here. China and other CEPA nations are next. The message is the Gulf is open for long-term bonds, not just short-term profit. For tens of thousands of Indians looking westward, this a lifeline and a statement. The gates have opened – this time, without a price tag on property deeds.

LVMH to sell Santa Barbara's El Encanto Hotel for $82.2 million
French luxury giant LVMH Moët Hennessey Louis Vuitton SE is selling its only US hotel, the El Encanto in Santa Barbara, California. The 90-room property — in a coastal getaway northwest of Los Angeles — is being purchased by a partnership of brothers Justin and Tyler Mateen and Culver Capital, according to representatives for the buyers. The price is $82.2 million, they said. 'We look at it as we're buying 20% of the class A luxury hospitality market in Santa Barbara, which we believe is a growing market,' Tyler Mateen said in an interview Monday. The sale price per room — about $900,000 — is comparable to other recent resort transactions in coastal California, where strict government regulations and a scarcity of land create high barriers to entry, according to Alan Reay, president of Atlas Hospitality Group, a hotel brokerage based in Newport Beach. 'It may look expensive today, but 10 or 20 years from now it looks like a good deal,' Reay said. A spokesperson for LVMH declined to comment on the transaction but said LVMH-owned Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts plans to open a hotel in Miami Beach, Florida, in 2028. The El Encanto's new owners say they plan to manage the property themselves, meaning it will no longer be part of the Belmond chain, a group of resorts that LVMH purchased in 2019. 'This property embodies the essence of California living and offers an experience like no other hotel on the Central Coast,' Garrett Cayton of Culver Capital, and the co-owner of The Discerning Travellers luxury travel agency, said in a statement. The Mateens have a growing portfolio of real estate and technology investments. Justin Mateen was a co-founder of the dating app Tinder. The brothers paid $69 million last month for a shopping center on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, and last year bought an office and retail complex on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills for $211 million.

MP eyes development of mobile app for Simhastha 2028 visitors
Indore: Madhya Pradesh govt is developing a mobile application powered by artificial intelligence and advanced technologies to digitise operations and facilitate seamless coordination among various agencies during Simhastha 2028 in Ujjain. With over 14 crore devotees anticipated to attend the Simhastha in Ujjain, the app, currently under construction, will provide an unified platform for govt departments and millions of visitors expected to visit the temple city during the month long Simhastha. Sanjay Dubey, IAS, additional chief secretary of the department of science and technology, said, "Once the app is downloaded, users will navigate its features effortlessly through a search function, and it will be voice-enabled to cater to diverse linguistic needs. Whether a visitor is from Tamil Nadu requiring guidance in Tamil or a French speaker looking for assistance in their language, the app is equipped to serve them. " The team from Prayagraj was also invited by the Madhya Pradesh govt to present their experiences, challenges, successes, and planning strategies. The govt is also considering involving IITs, IIMs, and other reputed institutions in managing one of the world's largest gatherings. The govt plans to create a control room to monitor app data and provide real-time information about crowd dynamics. The mobile application will offer a plethora of features, including real-time updates on facility availability, accommodation options, parking slots, and detailed directions. Additionally, it will enable seamless bookings for Darshan and ashrams, covering every aspect from transportation and security to public amenities like toilets and routes. According to the MPSEDC department, the app will also act as a critical tool for ensuring safe navigation during the festival, determining the shortest route to their desired destination while indicating crowded areas and suggesting alternative paths. Furthermore, it will provide updates on the availability and condition of nearby toilets and water facilities. "Insights from user data will help predict crowd movements, ultimately enhancing safety and efficiency. A dedicated team of approximately 30 engineers is currently working on the project, with plans to expand to over 100 as the development progresses," said Dubey.
