Multipolar World: Can India Lead Without Picking Sides?
Is America working? Is Trump working? Is the West losing its grip? And what role can a rising India play in a fractured world order and a fast-evolving multipolar world?

Power is fragmenting, alliances are shifting, and a new global reality is taking shape. The post-Cold War world order is breaking apart — and India stands at a critical inflection point.

First British-Indian teen to swim the English Channel - Prisha Tapre
In the UK, 1 in 6 young people struggle with mental health — and academic pressure is a major driver. As 11+, GCSEs and A-Levels take over, students are often told to drop sports and “focus.” But evidence says otherwise. A 2021 Journal of School Health study found that teens who stay physically active during exams perform better, stress less, and feel more emotionally balanced. Still, many young athletes are benched during exam time. This episode follows the powerful story of 16-year-old Prisha — the first British Asian girl to swim the English Channel while preparing for her GCSE...

From Hungary to Hinduism: The Journey of a Vedic Pandit !
I do intermittent fasting, but fasting has always been part of my culture. A stroll after dinner? Just something we did at home, never questioning why.

But Ayurveda knew it all along—thousands of years before wellness trends made it cool.While 1.3 million Indian students head abroad for education, Adam Baktai did the opposite.
