I have been thinking a great deal about the state of modern society, and the more I observe what is unfolding across the developed world, the less convinced I become by the explanations that dominate our public discourse. Every event arrives neatly packaged with its own causes, villains and remedies. Brexit is explained through nationalism.…

The Universe asked me, “My son, after living a human life, what could you possibly teach me?” I looked up at the stars and smiled. “I could teach you how to fall in love.” The Universe laughed. “I created galaxies, stars, planets, and worlds. Is that all?” And I replied, “Not just once. I could…

I have always been driven by one question: How can I add value to the world while I am here? From childhood, I felt the world differently. When people were…

By Sanjeev Kumar Everyone keeps asking: “Why doesn’t the government fix NEET?” Here’s the uncomfortable truth — NEET cannot be fixed by any government. Not because they don’t want to. But because the system itself is designed to fail. You can’t regulate people’s desperation. You can’t police 23 lakh dreams with one exam. You can’t…
