Reevaluating Social Norms: From Workaholism to Fast Fashion
Workaholism, characterized by an excessive and uncontrollable need to work, has become a socially endorsed behavior in many modern societies, particularly in Western cultures. This phenomenon is often justified by the idea that hard work leads to success and prosperity. However, an increasing body of evidence suggests that the culture of workaholism has significant negative implications for individuals' health and societal well-being. Studies have shown that chronic overworking can lead to physical ailments such as hypertension and heart disease, as well as mental health issues like anxiety and depression. Therefore, it is crucial to reevaluate the merit of workaholism as a social norm and consider more balanced approaches to work-life integration.

The Toxicity of Hustle Culture
Another dream that did not reach its fruition, another soul that was shattered by its externality. It is heartbreaking to hear the recent news about a dynamic young professional , Anna Perayil, living in Pune, from EY who took her life due to extreme work pressure and a toxic workplace environment.

The conspiracy theory as means of ridiculing people
Currently, a common method of ridiculing people is to label them as "conspiracy theorists." This process involves observing nations and labeling peoples who might potentially interfere with the development of specific projects. There is a unique spirit spreading across the world, blinding the masses. The agents who control the world seek to transform people's thinking, using this label in a fixed manner with no room for reflection.

The path to totalitarian regime
The reader is invited to reflect on the dangers associated with the transformation of a nation’s collective mindset. Historical examples, such as the atrocities of the Hitler era, demonstrate how a totalitarian regime can foster a lasting aversion to nationalism. Instead of promoting order, morality, respect, and progress, the Nazi regime left a negative mark that resonates across all continents.

A Letter to misinformation
I am an anonymous writer in society, a futurist who sees the world with attentive eyes, always seeking to build and reflect on human evolution. My criticism does not emerge as an attack but as an invitation to deep dialogue and an incessant search for learning and growth. I live with the eternal hope that humanity can develop in its fullness, and this constant faith drives me to critically observe everything around me, especially the major processes that shape humanity.

Oprah CRASHES Meghan's speech
In a surprising twist, Meghan Markle has made headlines once again, this time for her involvement in a new bookstore inauguration. Recently, Meghan has been popping up at various public events, particularly those tied to her favorite topic—books. As an avid book lover myself, it's hard to criticize anyone for promoting reading. But when Meghan is involved, there always seems to be more than meets the eye.

The Raw, Brutal Power Of Martyrs. Content Warning.
Horror takes many forms. There’s creature feature horror. There’s psychological horror. There’s body horror. With a genre of story telling where there are little to no rules, anything can be done. Anything can be said. And anyone can push the limits of what is too much just to the very edge. The French film Martyrs from 2008 depicts in its own way all of these subgenres but in a way that puts it in a genre all its own, and comes just close to going too far. Although some see it as going well past our perceived limits of disturbing content.

The Dyatlov Pass Incident
In the annals of unsolved mysteries, few cases are as chilling and perplexing as the Dyatlov Pass incident. On a frigid February night in 1959, nine experienced hikers ventured into the unforgiving Ural Mountains of Russia, never to return alive. What transpired on the slopes of what the indigenous Mansi people call "Dead Mountain" has baffled investigators, researchers, and mystery enthusiasts for over six decades.

The Olympics and Its Forgotten Mission
Unlike most men, I do not have a lifetime subscription to a sports channel or multiple sports channels. I love the idea of watching any sport at the highest level. For example, I enjoy the thrill of ICC’s T20 World Cup and the exhilarating CPL T20 cricket, the magical FIFA World Cup soccer and the record-breaking prospects of the athletes at the Olympics every four years. The international events' schedules keep me from getting bored and help me avoid unhealthy addictions and obsessions.

Modern Technology
Let’s talk about modern technology. I mean, where do I even begin? It’s like having a best friend who’s also kind of a jerk. You love them, can’t imagine life without them, but every now and then, they do something that makes you want to throw your phone (or laptop, or tablet) out the nearest window. Sound familiar?

Women on Screen: Psychological Themes in Contemporary Indian Cinema
Cinema and film are prevalent forms of mass communication that significantly influence opinions, shape perceptions, and reinforce prevailing cultural norms. They entertain audiences globally, offering an escape from everyday life by creating an alternate reality. Additionally, cinema has the power to alter individuals' mindsets and help establish new cultural, social, and political values. Indian cinema has long been a significant part of Indian culture, impacting society and individual lives in various ways. Movies influence people's fashion choices, speech, and social behaviour, both directly and indirectly. Over time, Indian cinema has evolved from traditional mythological films to "Bollywoodized" adaptations of successful Hollywood movies. In the 1970s, Indian cinema began to adopt a more socially conscious and politically focused approach.
