This flexibility has led to people moving out of expensive metro cities to calmer, more affordable places.

From cloning voices to creating fake identities, technology has reached a point where it’s difficult to tell what’s real and what’s not.

Doctors are some of the most overworked people in our country. Day in and day out, they’re on their feet, saving lives, managing emergencies, and providing care to countless patients.

Whenever a woman chooses to live life on her own terms, society is quick to point fingers at feminism. It’s always feminism that “ruined tradition,” that “broke families,” or that “made women lonely and alone.” Rarely do people stop and question the system that forced generations of women to stay in unhappy marriages, give up their dreams, or endure abuse silently.

Fast forward to today, and someone just bought that same tennis ball for Rs 120.

The convenience of ordering a packet of chips or a bottle of shampoo from Swiggy Instamart, Zepto, or Blinkit has made these small neighbourhood stores seem outdated to many.

But what about eating well, sleeping on time, or simply moving your body? That’s seen as “extra”. Things like therapy, fitness training, or investing in nutrition? Unheard of. Marketer Shashank Sharma recently posted a raw, honest reflection on LinkedIn that struck a deep chord.
