Редкое выравнивание шести планет, видимое на ночном небе

"...believe me..."

"...Imagine six of your friends all somehow ending up on the same street corner at the same time, without planning it...."

"...That's roughly what happened and will continue to happen in our night sky...."

"...And there you have it folks. That’s your planetary parade...."

"...Here’s a soundtrack to put you in the mood…..."

"...Thank you, Arushi Jain, for this ethereal rec...."

"...And if you’d like your recommendation featured too, send them our way, especially hidden gems from underrated Indian artists many of us haven’t discovered yet...."

"...We can’t wait to hear them!..."

"...What caught our eye this week..."

"...Are DVDs making a comeback?..."

"...Over the last almost two decades, DVD sales have dropped more than 86%...."

"...And honestly, that’s not surprising...."

"...Who even watches films on DVDs anymore?..."

"...But something strange is happening in the world of physical media...."

"...The decline in DVD sales has started slowing down...."

"...For context, in both 2023 and 2024, sales were falling by over 20%...."

"...In 2025, that drop slowed to about 9%...."

"...Now, that obviously does not mean that DVDs are booming again...."

"...But it does tell you that someone, somewhere, is still buying them, and in slightly larger numbers than before...."

"...And guess who’s behind it?..."

"...Gen Z...."

"...Yup, the same generation that grew up with everything available at the tap of a screen and Wi-Fi practically stitched into their DNA...."

"...Which makes you ask, “Why would they go backwards?”..."

"...One reason seems to be subscription fatigue...."

"...Every time a new show grabs your attention, and it’s on a different platform, you have to add another subscription if you don’t already have it...."

"...And before you know it, you’re juggling three, four, maybe five services — some of which you barely use...."

"...DVDs, oddly enough, simplify things...."

"...You buy it once and own it forever...."

"...Which brings us to the second point — ownership...."

"...On streaming platforms, a film can disappear overnight because licences expire or deals change...."

"...One day it’s there. The next day it’s gone...."

"...But if you own a DVD, it’s yours...."

"...You can just slide it into a player and watch...."

"...There’s something comforting about that control...."

"...And then there’s the fact that some Gen Z adults are tired of constantly being online...."

"...So, they’re leaning into activities that feel more intentional and social...."

"...Visiting a store that still sells physical media...."

"...Chatting about what they picked up...."

"...Swapping recommendations and even exchanging or lending DVDs...."

"...It’s quite a fascinating way to bond and not very different from how some bibliophiles still prefer buying physical books even when e-books exist...."

"...So in a strange way, DVDs seem to be following the vinyl playbook...."

"...Vinyl records became “vintage”, and millennials revived them because they felt nostalgic and cool...."

"...In fact, vinyl sales have actually surpassed DVD sales since 2023, probably because of a simple fact that they carry charm...."

"...Which makes you wonder, could DVD sales soon start growing again, even if it’s just by a few single digits?..."

"...Not enough to compete with streaming, of course...."

"...But maybe enough to carve out a little cultural niche again...."

"...So tell us — do you think DVDs are a cool idea?..."

"...Infographic..."

"...Twenty years. One massive shift...."

"...In 2005, the global leaderboard looked unrecognizable, with China just finding its footing and India sitting at the bottom of the top ten...."

"...Today, the map has been redrawn...."

"...Readers Recommend..."

"...This week, our reader Sreesha GS recommends reading Manifest: 7 Steps to Living Your Best Life by Roxie Nafousi...."

"...It explains how to use manifestation to create the life you want...."

"...In an era of digital noise and constant distractions, this book provides the mental clarity needed to tune out conflicting opinions and short-form content...."

"...Thanks for the recommendation, Sreesha!..."

"...That’s it from us this week. We’ll see you next Sunday!..."

"...Until then, send us your book, music, business movies, documentaries or podcast recommendations...."

"...We’ll feature them in the newsletter!..."

"...Also, don’t forget to tell us what you thought of today's edition...."

"...Just hit reply to this email (or if you’re reading this on the web, drop us a message at [email protected])...."
