Do whatever it takes to get your kids physically active. There is a multi billion dollar industry whose entire existence depends on your child never getting bored. Children are moving less and sitting infront of screens more. Look up any study and there is a strong evidence of physical inactivity amongst school going children in India. WHO says 74% of Indian children do not meet physical activity recommendations and approx 20% are overweight. School going kids are being diagnosed for clinical depression and anxiety. We’re getting obsessed to solve for safety, comfort, and convenience. Take kids out and make movement non negotiable. Get them to play any sport. Don’t turn your kid into a junkyard of reels and stupid videos. If you don’t design their childhood, someone else will.

This may just be one of the most beautiful books we've published.Iconic Trees of India by S. Natesh is a celebration of the country's most remarkable trees. Each of the 75 trees tell us a larger story about the cultural, biological or spiritual value that they hold. @RoliBooks

@saffrontrail This helped me youtu.be/hTuVTi1w4kE?si…. More than a fancy bottle, just having a bottle of water within reach / with me (purse/gymbag/car) at all points of time served as a reminder too.

@MeghnaPant The worst bit is that it tends to be women who will tear you down first for not meeting some arbitrary standard.

When I got a 90% in my ICSE some building aunties went to my school to crosscheck that my family and I weren't lying because they thought I was 'too well-groomed to be intelligent'. There is no way for women to win---you're always too fat, too thin, too pretty, too ugly. So, you do you, because authenticity is always > shit-takes.

There are hundreds of thousands of people who die from cancer every year. To use a cancer-led death as a tool for a publicity stunt is one of the most insensitive, thoughtless, vile ideas anyone's come up with. You've diminished real deaths & suffering, and made a mockery of a terrible illness.
