Trump, Tariffs and India – The New Freedom Struggle

Independence Day. The tricolour flaps. The speeches soar. WhatsApp groups buzz with forwarded poetry about sacrifice, unity, and progress.

If You Can’t Measure Stress, You Can’t Manage It

Let’s talk about the world’s most ignored pandemic No, not COVID. Not depression. Not diabetes.

When the Mind Crashes Before the Plane

The headlines scream pilot error. The experts scream manufacturer flaw. The masses scream mental health. And yet, no one’s asking the most obvious question: How did no one see it coming?

Ullu, ALTT & the OTT Ban: When Indian Censorship Goes OTT

So (checks notes)… the government just banned 25 OTT platforms—including Ullu, ALTT, and Desiflix—for streaming “soft porn” disguised as web series. Moral police are celebrating.
