Change position every 30–45 minutes, set your screen at eye level, keep your feet supported, and add a few minutes of movement each day. See a doctor if pain spreads down a leg, causes numbness, or follows an injury.</description><pubDate>Thu, 01 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>Health &amp; Medicine</category><category>back pain</category><category>posture</category><category>office health</category><category>work from home</category></item><item><title>Petrol or electric scooter: which is right for your daily commute?</title><link>https://www.expertadvice.co.in/articles/petrol-vs-electric-scooter/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.expertadvice.co.in/articles/petrol-vs-electric-scooter/</guid><description>If your daily ride is predictable, mostly in the city, and you can charge at home or work, an electric scooter usually costs far less to run and needs less maintenance. If you ride long or unpredictable distances, cannot charge easily, or often carry heavy loads on hills, a petrol scooter is still the simpler choice.</description><pubDate>Thu, 24 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>Electric Vehicles</category><category>electric scooter</category><category>scooter</category><category>commute</category><category>EV</category><category>two-wheeler</category></item><item><title>Buying your first car: 12 things to check before you pay the booking amount</title><link>https://www.expertadvice.co.in/articles/first-car-buying-checklist/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.expertadvice.co.in/articles/first-car-buying-checklist/</guid><description>Before paying a booking amount, fix your total budget (including insurance and running costs), choose the segment that suits your daily use, take a proper test drive on familiar roads, get the full on-road price in writing, compare insurance and loan offers independently, and inspect the car carefully before taking delivery.</description><pubDate>Fri, 18 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>Cars &amp; Four-Wheelers</category><category>first car</category><category>car buying</category><category>test drive</category><category>car loan</category></item><item><title>The office capsule wardrobe: dress well every day with fewer clothes</title><link>https://www.expertadvice.co.in/articles/office-capsule-wardrobe/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.expertadvice.co.in/articles/office-capsule-wardrobe/</guid><description>An office capsule wardrobe is a small set of well-fitting clothes in a few coordinating colours that all mix and match. Choose two or three neutral base colours, add one or two accent colours, prioritise fit and fabric over quantity, and build around pieces you can combine into many different outfits.</description><pubDate>Thu, 10 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>Fashion &amp; Dressing Sense</category><category>office wear</category><category>capsule wardrobe</category><category>dressing sense</category><category>workwear</category></item><item><title>How to choose a smartphone without overpaying</title><link>https://www.expertadvice.co.in/articles/how-to-choose-a-smartphone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.expertadvice.co.in/articles/how-to-choose-a-smartphone/</guid><description>Start with how you use your phone, not with specifications. Prioritise the number of years of software and security updates, real-world battery life, the camera features you will actually use, and a good service network. Most people do not need a flagship — a well-chosen mid-range phone covers everyday needs for years.</description><pubDate>Thu, 03 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>Gadgets &amp; Electronics</category><category>smartphone</category><category>buying guide</category><category>phone</category><category>gadgets</category></item><item><title>Emergency fund: how much you need and where to keep it</title><link>https://www.expertadvice.co.in/articles/emergency-fund-how-much/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.expertadvice.co.in/articles/emergency-fund-how-much/</guid><description>A common guideline is to keep three to six months of essential expenses in an emergency fund — more if your income is irregular, you are the only earner, or you support dependants. Keep it safe and easy to reach, such as in a savings account, a sweep-in fixed deposit or a liquid fund, and use it only for genuine emergencies.</description><pubDate>Thu, 27 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>Finance &amp; Investing</category><category>emergency fund</category><category>savings</category><category>personal finance</category><category>budgeting</category></item><item><title>UPI fraud: the common tricks and how to protect yourself</title><link>https://www.expertadvice.co.in/articles/upi-fraud-protect-yourself/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.expertadvice.co.in/articles/upi-fraud-protect-yourself/</guid><description>You never need to enter your UPI PIN to receive money — a PIN is only for sending. Most UPI fraud tricks people into approving a &quot;collect request&quot;, scanning a QR code, sharing an OTP or installing a screen-sharing app. If you are defrauded, report it immediately on the national cybercrime helpline 1930 or at cybercrime.gov.in, and inform your bank.</description><pubDate>Thu, 20 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>Cybersecurity &amp; Online Safety</category><category>UPI</category><category>fraud</category><category>scam</category><category>online safety</category><category>banking</category></item></channel></rss>
