A few weekends ago, a simple beach break led to an unexpected realisation. When I asked my children what they were bored of that day, the answer wasn’t restlessness or complaint. It was simply, “Nothing. We were just switching.” That one word changed everything. It reminded me that today’s children aren’t a delayed version of us. They’re growing up in a world built differently, where attention moves faster, options are plenty, and comparison no longer makes sense.

Last week, I stood on Gandhi Beach and realised something powerful—places don’t change, mindsets do. The same sand where I once laughed with friends now held my thoughts about targets and presentations.

Life is a journey marked by decisions—some small, some monumental. These choices shape our destiny and define who we are. But what if I told you that the state of your mind, be it happiness or sadness, plays a crucial role in the quality of decisions you make? Indeed, tough decisions should be made during happier times. The Emotional Spectrum of Decision-Making: Our minds function differently depending on our emotional state. Let us take a closer look at the characteristics o

In a world that often prizes early achievement, the journey of late bloomers is a story that resonates deeply. Many of us feel the weight of societal expectations to excel at a young age, whether it's in academics, career, or other pursuits. Yet, the question arises: What if success is not a race but a marathon, with some individuals discovering their true potential later in life? The Pressure to Achieve Early The pressure to achieve early is a common narrative in today's wor

As a lifelong aviation enthusiast, my fascination with aircraft, especially the MiG-21, has always been a profound part of my identity. I've often contemplated the origin of this passion, and it inevitably leads me back to my father, a licensed pilot who dreamed of soaring among the clouds as a fighter pilot in the Indian Air Force but, alas, saw his dreams remain grounded. It was perhaps this unfulfilled dream of his that sparked my own love affair with these magnificent mac

Welcome to the uproarious world of new-age parenting, where every day feels like a scene from a slapstick comedy! We're navigating uncharted territory, juggling smartphones and sippy cups, all while trying to strike a balance between the timeless wisdom of "Study hard, my child" and the modern dilemma of "Is unlimited screen time for 'educational' videos a good idea?" The Hilarious Parent Olympics: Picture this: your neighbor, Raj, brags about his kid's ability to calculate c

In my recent encounter, I stumbled upon a remarkable tale of a dog Bobi that defied time, reportedly the oldest canine in existence at the age of 31. As an avid lover of animals, I find myself contemplating the inherent selfishness of humans in exploiting them for our own pleasure. Although I refrain from owning a pet, I compensate by surrounding myself with an array of plants, each unique in shape and size, adorning my life with their vibrant presence. It has become our cher
