 Healthy Coping vs Unhealthy Escapes

Every ending is a new beginning in disguise. We just don't look at it the right way. Change is the transition from past to future — which, yes, is scary — but it promises great opportunities. It's in our hands to let go of some things and create space for the new ones. Letting go is tough, but what if the next chapter is everything we’ve been hoping for? Let's dive deep and discover how to embrace change with open hearts and open minds. Because the best is yet to come.Credits:Researched by Ridhima Pandey, Suhani Mishra and Nikita BishtScripted by Sanchi Saxena and AdvikaVoice of Divyam Modani, Anaya Atsuna Solanki and Khushi BaghelEditing by Attyaksh Rajput and Shreeya Singhled

Burnout and its coping

Men's mental health is often overshadowed by expectations of stoicism and strength. These stereotypes discourage seeking help and expressing vulnerability. It's vital to create safe spaces for open dialogue without judgment. By promoting mental well-being conversations, we normalize seeking support and foster healthier communities. Breaking down stigma is key to creating an inclusive society where everyone can thrive emotionally.

Autism Awareness Month

Social media is here. It's not going away; not a passing fad. Be where your peers are: in social media. Somewhere along our transition to teenage, we have popularised the concept of social media to the point where we are inherently dependant on it. And the mainstay of social media are MEMES. So graphically attractive, yet so capable of articulately conveying a message, each meme is a concept that begs to be analysed. So, let's delve deeper into the psychology of memes with this podcast.

Mental Health Awareness-A song

Plastic is a common material that can be found in almost every object. It takes years and years to decompose and hence contributes significantly towards pollution. Plastic usage is one of the leading causes of environmental degradation. The plastics' invasion of the planet is a reality. Just remember that the plastic waste island floating in the Pacific Ocean now measures 1.6 million km2. If we want to save the planet, the time has come for each and every one of us to take action.
