So, when you use it to wash your skin, it can help strengthen the skin barrier, keeping it strong and hydrated rather than thinning it out. “Even studies suggest that rice water may help soothe skin conditions like eczema and reduce inflammation within a few days,” she said.

If you ferment rice water, it is even more beneficial, as it releases a compound called inositol, which has more antioxidants and anti-melanin compounds. It helps brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of pigmentation over time. It may also support skin elasticity and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. “This is the reason why women in China have beautiful, clear, glass skin, like how women in Korea also have. They use rice water for their skin and face as well,” she added.

How to make rice water at home

Rice water can easily be made at home. All you have to do is soak a cup of rice in water, rinse it well and let it sit in clean water for about 20 to 30 minutes. After the water turns cloudy, strain and store it in the refrigerator for a few days, and use it as a face rinse or spray.

Why US-Iran war may be heading towards a long ‘frozen conflict’ | Explained https://www.moneycontrol.com/world/what-comes-after-the-ceasefire-why-us-iran-war-may-be-heading-towards-a-long-frozen-conflict-explained-article-13895195.html What a ‘frozen conflict’ actually means A frozen conflict is not peace. It is a situation where active, large-scale fighting pauses, but the underlying dispute remains unresolved and capable of reigniting at any time. Past examples show that such conflicts can persist for years while continuing to claim lives and destabilise regions. In the current case, even if talks in Islamabad resume and produce a limited agreement, the deeper issues driving the war are far from settled. Ceasefire does not mean closure One key reason lies in how Washington is approaching the conflict. US President Donald Trump has repeatedly framed ceasefires as successful endpoints rather than as openings for deeper negotiations. He has publicly suggested that Iran is “supposed to be there” for talks, while also warning that if the truce collapses, “then lots of bombs start going off,” as he told PBS News. This dual messaging reflects a broader pattern. Ceasefires are presented as victories, even when the core disputes remain untouched. The result is a pause in violence without a durable political framework. An unequal war with no clear finish The nature of the conflict itself makes resolution difficult. This is an asymmetric confrontation, with the United States and Israel holding overwhelming military superiority, while Iran relies on indirect and disruptive strategies. Tehran’s actions, including pressure around the Strait of Hormuz and warnings from its Revolutionary Guards about targeting vessels, indicate a strategy aimed at raising the economic and geopolitical cost for its adversaries. Such approaches are designed not to win outright, but to prolong the conflict and force concessions over time. History shows that wars of this kind rarely end in decisive agreements. Instead, they drift into prolonged standoffs. Core disputes remain untouched The most critical sticking points have seen little movement. Iran continues to insist on its nuclear rights, with officials maintaining that its enriched uranium stockpile is “not going to be transferred anywhere.” On the other hand, Trump has maintained pressure, saying the blockade will continue “until there is a ‘DEAL’” and claiming it is “absolutely destroying” Iran’s economy. Even Trump’s recent remarks that recovering Iran’s so-called “nuclear dust” would be “long” and “difficult” underline the complexity of the issue rather than its resolution. The first round of talks in Islamabad collapsed over these very disagreements, and there is little indication that positions have softened since. Talks clouded by confusion and mistrust The uncertainty around the second round of talks only reinforces the fragile state of diplomacy. Iranian officials have issued conflicting signals, with state media denying any delegation has departed even as backchannel efforts continue. Lawmakers such as Mohammad Reza Mohseni Sani have gone further, saying talks could be “off the table” given current conditions. On the US side, messaging has also been inconsistent. While preparations for talks continue, threats of escalation remain on the table, and the ceasefire deadline is unlikely to be extended, according to officials cited by international media. What this means for the region If the conflict settles into a frozen state, the consequences will be long-term. Periodic flare-ups between Iran, Israel and US forces would remain likely. Tensions around the Strait of Hormuz could continue to disrupt global energy markets. The risk of a broader regional arms race would also increase. Such outcomes are not hypothetical. Similar patterns have played out in other regions where ceasefires replaced settlements, leaving instability to simmer beneath the surface. A pause, not an end For now, the trajectory is clear. Even if negotiations resume and produce a limited agreement, the absence of trust, the persistence of core disputes and the structure of the conflict itself point in one direction. What lies ahead is not peace, but a managed pause. A conflict that slows down, but does not end.]]> Moneycontrol.com Team Moneycontrol.com en-us Moneycontrol.com Tuesday, Apr 21, 2026 04:01 PM https://images.moneycontrol.com/static-mcnews/2026/04/20260421103106_Hormuz-9.jpg What comes after the ceasefire?

Companies such as Indus Towers have moved to full-scale deployments, he said. Diesel dependence, a longstanding concern for telecom operators, is also driving the shift. While lead-acid solutions helped reduce diesel usage earlier, the Iran war, which has disrupted fuel supplies, are pushing operators to move almost entirely away from diesel at more sites. Beyond telecom, the company sees significant opportunities in energy storage systems (ESS) and data centres. “Both are very large opportunities. ESS could become one of the largest segments after EVs (electric vehicles),” he said. For data centres, there are two opportunities—traditional UPS backup systems and renewable-backed energy storage for green data centres. As more companies aim for renewable energy usage, storage becomes critical for round-the-clock supply, Gourineni said. The company already has a strong presence in data centres through its lead-acid UPS business and is now working to transition those customers to lithium. “We’ve begun testing at select sites and expect a similar trajectory as telecom,” he added. Manufacturing push Amara Raja is set to begin cell production at its pilot facility in June. “The first capacity is coming in June. This is a commercial qualification plant—essentially a pilot plant — meant to deliver cells for customer testing. If run at full capacity, it can deliver 60 to 100 MWh,” Gourineni said. The company’s first giga facility, with 2 GWh capacity, is on track to be operational by the end of 2027. “This will primarily serve the mobility market, with ESS and stationary storage following the year after,” he added. The broader investment plan remains intact despite geopolitical disruptions. “Over the last three years, we’ve been building out this entire lithium investment journey. We announced an investment of about Rs 10,000 crore in Telangana to set up everything — from lithium cells and packs to energy storage systems,” he said. While geopolitical factors have caused some delays, they have not altered long-term plans. “Export restrictions from China on materials and equipment make procurement difficult. We’re navigating this by diversifying sourcing and exploring suppliers outside China. However, non-China sourcing often comes at a premium,” he said. On the global front, exports continue to grow steadily. “We’ve started commercial exports to the US, currently in lead-acid. We export to 55–60 countries and aim to expand to 80+ countries. This will include both exports from India and possibly setting up overseas operations,” he said. While the company remains globally competitive in lead-acid batteries, its lithium strategy is more selective. “We’re taking an opportunistic approach — targeting markets where China doesn’t have a dominant advantage or faces restrictions. We’ve already started telecom lithium exports to some African markets,” he said. Mobility will remain a key contributor but ESS is expected to emerge as a major growth driver. “There is strong policy support for localization in energy storage, and ESS allows higher local value addition through electronics and mechanical components,” Gourineni said.]]> Moneycontrol.com Team Moneycontrol.com en-us Moneycontrol.com Tuesday, Apr 21, 2026 04:00 PM https://images.moneycontrol.com/static-mcnews/2022/12/Amara-Raja.jpg Amara Raja ramps up lithium play with telecom, data centre scale-up, eyes 80-country expansion
