Why do ghost stories still captivate us in the age of science? Are we drawn to the supernatural, or to our own fears? What's your take?

How many of you think physical activity and sports should be a core component of school education in India? Should schools also function as powerful public health-promoting institutions?

According to NFHS-6 (2023–24), obesity among women (15–49 years) has risen from 24% to 30.7%, while among men it has increased from 22.9% to 27.3%.

High blood sugar levels have also increased significantly. India now faces a double burden: persistent undernutrition among children alongside rapidly rising obesity among adults, which is driving diabetes and heart disease.

Traditional diets are increasingly being replaced by ultra-processed foods (UPFs), sugary drinks, and packaged snacks. The UPF market in India is growing at more than 13.7% annually.

Physical inactivity is becoming a nationwide epidemic. A 2025 Lancet study projected that by 2050, 218 million men and 231 million women in India will be overweight.

Given these trends, should schools move beyond the traditional nutrition approach and adopt a more skill-based approach?

For example:

Regular physical activity and sports as compulsory parts of the curriculum

Teaching students how to read food labels

Understanding food marketing and advertising tactics

Basic cooking and meal-planning skills

Education on sleep, mental health, and lifestyle habits

What else can schools do to become powerful public health-promoting institutions? I'd love to hear your ideas and experiences.

Home Begins Within You.

A roof can protect you from the rain. A bed can give your body rest. An address can tell the world where you live. But none of those things can give you peace if you've lost your connection with yourself.

The hardest kind of homelessness isn't always living without a house it's living without feeling at home in your own mind. When you constantly seek validation, ignore your own needs, or forget who you are just to please others, every place begins to feel unfamiliar. You can move cities, change jobs, or surround yourself with people, yet still feel empty because the one person you've become disconnected from is yourself.

Finding your way back starts with listening to your own voice again. Spend time alone without feeling lonely. Honor your values, heal your wounds, and treat yourself with the same kindness you offer others. The moment you rebuild that relationship with yourself, peace no longer depends on a place it travels with you.

Because home is not just where you live. Home is where your heart finally feels safe, accepted, and at peace with you.
