A hundred years back when people didn’t have mobile phones, computers or television, the amount of information they would consume in their entire lifetime would be less than what most teenagers and adults consume in a single day today!
Our day is filled with WhatsApp chats, Instagram posts, You Tube videos, e-mails, streaming films, soap operas and sports telecasts. The information is consumed across three screens – mobile phones, computers and television.
You may ask what’s the big deal if we consume digital content for hours at end.
But Dr Manfred Spitzer, a German neuroscientist, says this excessive screen time is leading to brain fog or digital dementia. Our brains are finding it harder and harder to deal with this digital overload.
Scientists have found that staring at a screen for more than four hours a day can raise your chances of developing digital dementia. Read the full report by Aavishi Bhatnagar.

What is it that every person wants in his life? The answer is ‘repose’.
As we gain consciousness in our life, we find gradually that we are in a constant state of running between targets. We do not like to be wherever we are. We always want to go somewhere else. Find out what we should do.

To be happy, compete with yourself not with the world - We are never happy. If one desire gets fulfilled, ten more desires get generated. We don't give up but continue to compete.

Imagine this: You’ve been caring for your loved one day in and day out, juggling their needs while trying to keep your life on track. You shop for groceries, prepare meals, pick up prescriptions, assist with bathing, and handle a hundred other tasks, all while trying to make life a little more comfortable for them. It’s exhausting, but you keep going because you care deeply. But over time, something changes. The stress builds, your energy wanes, and before you know it, you’re running on empty. It’s called compassion fatigue, and it’s something every caregiver needs to understand.

Compassion Fatigue: The emotional toll of caring for your loved one - Compassion fatigue is more than just burnout. It’s an extreme state of stress and tension that wears a person out.

Everyone wants happiness. But you may be searching for it in the wrong place. Find out how you can find true happiness.

Looking for happiness? You might be searching in the wrong place - We search for the key of our happiness where there is light, but we never take light to a dark place where we can find the key.

You never imagined your body would one day betray you. The strength you once took for granted is slipping away, and with it, the independence you cherished. The raw truth is hard to face—you’re not as invincible as you once believed. The harsh truth of life.

The raw reality of growing old: From independence to dependence - Growing old may bring challenges, but it also brings a deeper connection, a legacy of love that will live on long after you’re gone.

If only we realised this ...

The ‘past’ and ‘future’ does not let us live in the ‘present’ - Our body is in the present, but our mind keeps dwelling in the past. That's how more than 10% of our present moment gets wasted in the past.
