In a world where dating apps and social media make casual encounters common, I find myself at odds with this trend. Indian youth are changing, and it’s hard to explain to our parents. While some find happiness in this, I believe in deeper connections. It’s okay to have choices and respect different perspectives, but personally, hookup culture just isn’t for me.

Most of my friends have either lost their father or had one who was emotionally distant. This pattern intrigues me. Fatherless sons and daughters often feel a need to prove their bravery to the world. For girls, the absence can lead to emotional struggles, while boys might wrestle with manhood. Despite the complexities, fatherhood remains a deeply impactful experience. If you had a great dad, happy Father’s Day!

We live in a world where trends dictate much of what we do and how we think. Everyone wants to be part of the latest craze, whether it’s the newest tech, style, or even job trends. But what if following the crowd isn’t always the best path? What if, sometimes, being unstylish can actually be more rewarding and fun? This idea hit home during a recent job interview, and it made me reflect on the true value of pursuing what genuinely interests us, rather than just what’s trendy.

Autism is often misunderstood, ranging from individuals with significant challenges to famous names like Einstein and Elon Musk. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) includes conditions like ADHD and anxiety. While places like the West support neurodivergent students, countries like India often lack resources. This can lead to struggles in school, work, and personal life. Raising awareness and seeking professional help are crucial steps toward better support and understanding for those with ASD.
