Retail inflation rose to 5.41 per cent in November, 4th straight month of uptick as prices of vegetables, pulses and fruits went up further to push the rate of price rise above the Reserve Bank's comfort level.

The 30-share index advanced by 39.77 points or 0.15 per cent to trade at 25,190.12 as all sectoral indices, led by oil&gas, healthcare, realty, consumer durables, PSU and metal, were trading in the positive zone with gains of up to 0.60 per cent.

The gauge had gained 105.92 points in the previous choppy session.

On similar lines, the NSE Nifty was quoting 13.90 points or 0.18 per cent higher at 7,663.95.

Brokers said value buying in recently battered blue-chip stocks and a mixed trend at other Asian markets, influenced trading sentiments.

Among other Asian markets, Hong Kong's Hang Seng was up 0.50 per cent while Japan's Nikkei shed 0.74 per cent in early trade. Shanghai Composite index marginally up 0.09 per cent.

The US Dow Jones Industrial Average ended 0.60 per cent higher in Monday's trade.

iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus Review

For most of the reviews here at Gadgets 360, we use the mobile in question as our primary phone for about a week or so before sharing our verdict with you. We realise this isn't perfect, since there are some aspects of the device that don't become obvious during that time, and in an ideal world, we'd use every phone for a couple of months before we publish our review. But we work under constraints where most devices aren't available to us for that long - almost all products that we review are loaned to us by companies for short durations - and there's also the competitive pressure of wanting to get your review out before others do, as long as it doesn't involve cutting any corners. With the launch of iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus in India, Apple offered to loan the two new iPhones to Gadgets 360 - and indeed other publications - for more than the typical timeframe of a few days. The India iPhone launch of course came a few we...

Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have made these Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies at least 20 times now. Not exaggerating. I first made these when we were in the Philippines, when it was a struggle to just keep butter solid for 2 seconds on the counter, and they were absolutely incredible. I had no idea how or why, but they just WORKED. And they blew my mind in the way only a perfect chocolate chip cookie really can. But then every once in a while, they didn’t work. I’m not always super exact with my baking, but still. They were not thick and chewy and buttery like the perfect cookie should be. Some of your comments said the same things – most of the time they worked, but sometimes they didn’t. And I don’t like that. Now I’m back home in dry, cool Minnesota and I have been waiting for this day just so I could figure out what would really make these cookies awesome for you. You who live in normal climates and shop at Cub Foods. I am now speaking your cookie-baking language. Since I’m re...
