Yugen Golf City — The Pali Hill of North of Goa Is Rising 🌴✨
In every generation, there comes a neighbourhood that defines what “luxury” truly means. In the 1960s, that place was Pali Hill in Bandra, Mumbai — where heritage met exclusivity. In the 2020s, that distinction is migrating south — to the North of Goa , on the serene Goa–Maharashtra border — where Yugen Golf City is rewriting the rules of elite living. It isn’t just another real estate project. It’s the new Pali Hill of the Western Coast — a place where lifestyle, leisure,

Why Are We Tired All the Time? The Answer Might Be in Our Hands
Last night, after a long day at work, I promised myself I’d sleep early. I brushed, dimmed the lights, and set my alarm. But instead of sleeping, I reached for my phone—just to check a couple of messages. An hour later, I was still scrolling. My mind was racing, eyes were sore, and sleep? Nowhere in sight. This isn't just my story. It's all around me. I see my team members logging off after a long day only to be online again—this time on social media, mindlessly consuming con

When a Mock Test Turns into a Death Sentence: A Letter from a Rebel in the Education System
I read the news this morning, and it hasn’t left me since. A 17-year-old girl. Bright. Scored 92.6% in her Class 10 exams. Like many Indian students, she was preparing for NEET — a pressure cooker of a test that often reduces brilliant young minds to anxious wrecks. Sadhna Bhonsle from Sangli, Maharashtra, scored low in a mock test. Her father, a school principal , lost his temper. He beat her so badly that she didn’t survive. A mock test became a death sentence. A father ,

🧭 When Words Hold Us Back: My Note to Every DMETian Dreaming Bigger Than Their Tongue Allows
I’ll begin with a confession. Even today, after writing hundreds of blogs, emails, and speeches—and after recording interviews, podcasts, and pitches— I fumble . I pause too long. I mix up my tenses. I spell things wrong. I sometimes get nervous about whether I’m sounding “smart enough.” I’ve written sentences that made me cringe five minutes later.I’ve recorded voice notes that I deleted right after.I’ve hesitated to speak in rooms full of “perfect English.”And yet—I’ve neve
