There you are —cozy, ready to finally catch some sleep, when suddenly… tingle. Then itch. And then…. what only feels like a full-blown bug rave on your legs.

Ever walk into a room and forget why you’re there? Open a tab on your browser and immediately forget what you were searching for? Struggle to focus on conversations or feel like your brain is working in slow motion? If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

You know you should be asleep. Yet, you delay bedtime. This phenomenon has a name: Revenge Bedtime Procrastination.

Holi is not just about painting each other’s faces; it’s about shedding the old, embracing the new and cleansing ourselves—mind, body and spirit.

This Women’s Day, as we celebrate the strength, resilience, and endless love that women bring into the world, let’s take a moment to talk about a side of motherhood that often stays hidden behind soft lullabies and picture-perfect moments.

Getting nostalgic about your glorious 20s when you could down an entire Paneer Makhani with 2 butter Naans at 2 AM, wake up fresh, and somehow still fit into your college jeans? Fast forward a decade or two, and now even looking at a plate of biryani seems to add an inch to your waistline. Your once-loyal metabolism seems to have turned against you, and that belly fat? It’s here to stay—like an unwanted guest who refuses to leave.

You’ve been doing all the right things. Your plate is a rainbow of veggies, you’ve traded lays for almonds, and your fridge looks like a page out of Luke Coutinho's latest book.
