Yes, I don't differentiate between body and mental health because I consider both related and actually one thing, as the concept of spacetime in physics. Can we have a healthy body when our mind is in trouble? Apparently the body may work fine, but without motivation and human values [1] our actions will be void. Conversely, a brilliant mind encaps...

In my view the short answer is fear. Our mind is a bundle of desires (for pleasure) and fear (of pain). For some of us, under certain circumstances like Covid, our habits breaks away, and with them our confidence. For example, along with human lives losses, Covid changed our habits, as we suddenly found ourselves to live almost entirely at hom...

The mighty, unsinkable idea of dominating Nature is probably another aspect of the COVID pandemic. (coronavirus) The iceberg, heavier than the ship itself, sounds like an invitation to change, on a global scale. It took only a microscopic effort for Nature to deliver such powerful message. A small trigger, with a massive impact.  Suddenly...

​ Since Marvel movies took over the industry, and Greta mentioned her advantage over their critics, superpowers have become cooler than ever. In this article I'd like to focus more on those powers that everyone has inside and that will deliver great value if we could use them.

For Indians a w...
