Disqualified and Disheartened: Vinesh Phogat and India's Olympic Reality
I checked once and then again and then again and then once again, but I still couldn't come to terms with the fact that Vinesh Phogat had been disqualified. Having been one of the few bright spots for India at the Olympics, when she qualified for the final after many Indian athletes endured painful heartbreaks at the event, she too was disqualified at the end for failing to maintain her weight during the weigh-in. India, a country with a population of more than 1 billion, is going to end another Olympics with less than 10 medals again. Leave aside the talk about the leaders in the Olympics like the USA, China, and France… even countries like Romania, Croatia, and Hong Kong with very small populations would consider their Olympic result a failure if they had the same medal count as India.

Embracing Holistic Approaches to Mental Health Care: . Content Warning. AI-Generated.
Introduction: In recent years, the conversation surrounding mental health has evolved significantly. More people are becoming aware of the importance of mental well-being, not just as a facet of overall health but as a crucial element that can affect every aspect of life. Traditional approaches to mental health care often emphasize medication and therapy, which, while effective for many, may not address the broader aspects of a person's life. This is where holistic approaches to mental health care come into play, offering a more comprehensive and integrative path to well-being.

A Look Back at CJ Perry's Brief, but Spectacular AEW Tenure
I've been a huge fan of CJ Perry ever since she first appeared in WWE under her familiar name, Lana. Hard to believe that her wrestling career has lasted for over a decade, it doesn't seem like it's been that long. Eight of those years were spent in WWE, usually as the (often) villainous manager for the then-named Rusev--a gimmick that started back on NXT. It wasn't until her last few years in WWE that we would finally start to see Lana actually compete in the ring, but just as she was about to really rise on her own, she gets the rug pulled from her. A release in 2021.

Review of The Mother of the Bride: Climax clichés and gorgeous settings mask a generic plot.
Review of The Mother of the Bride: Climax clichés and gorgeous settings mask a generic plot. Ever wanting to escape in the picturesque beauties of nature while aimlessly wandering in the darkness with no mobile phone or a torch, sounds like a morbid plan without thoughtful execution behind it. While it is a celebratory year as this year is marked as a renewal of the cherish of romantic comedies with movies like Anyone But You, Idea of You, Players and many more, Netflix's most recent romantic comedy released in the week of Mother’s day, The Mother of the Bride tries to sell the second chance romance in the exotic location of Phuket, Thailand, yet its formulaic plot and half baked characteristic execution makes it dull and cliched. Let's dive deeper into the nuances of the plot.

The detrimental impact of aesthetic norms on emotional wellness
What are beauty standards and where do they stem from? Beauty standards are cultural beliefs that influence social power and dictate how individuals should look to be socially accepted. These standards encompass physical features like facial appearance, skin, and body shape, and can be either innate or alterable. Terms like "attractive," "pretty," and "good looking" are used to describe adherence to these standards. It can be challenging to determine which features can be changed and which cannot. Not conforming to societal beauty standards by refusing to alter one's appearance is often viewed as a moral failure. For instance, wearing makeup is not a natural or biological choice, but rather influenced by current trends.

How Sustainability Can Drive Customer Engagement and Loyalty in 2024
The consumer market today is highly aware of the greenwashing and dishonesty in a brand and they prefer buying their products from establishments that support the growth of sustainability and authenticity in their core principles. As many as 73 per cent of consumers are willing to pay extra for sustainable products, and they prefer to purchase from sustainable brands, according to a recent First Insight report. Younger consumers are also more likely to base their purchases on social, environmental, and personal values. They are the ones bringing about this change and are vocal about selecting brands that share their values. Prioritizing sustainability helps brands win over these morally minded customers and future-proof their operations.

Unveiling the Timeless Wisdom of Swami Vivekananda for Today's Youth
I love myself despite infinite faults. How can I hate someone only with a few faults? A vast collection of millions of galaxies make up the universe. That is made up of planets revolving around one another and producing a cacophony of vibrations that impacts who we are. God gave humans the ability to reason, observe, and acquire knowledge. However, he did not grant him the one ability that would have made him immortal. The ability to find salvation and contentment in one's possessions. He created a being in man that was never static.
