What Are We Really Feeding Our Minds? A Wake-Up Call for Indian Youth

In the age of social media, trends rule our screens and, slowly, our minds. Scroll through any platform and you’ll see what truly captures the attention of the Indian youth: food reels, cinema gossip, sports banter, and, not to forget, the ever-growing obsession with glamour and sex appeal.

Let’s face a hard truth:
If a celebrity removes her chappal at the airport, it grabs millions of views in minutes. But a high-quality video explaining a powerful scientific concept or a motivational lecture from a renowned educator? Struggles to get even a few hundred likes.

Why does this matter?
Because what we consume shapes who we become. And while there’s nothing wrong with enjoying entertainment, food, or sports — it becomes dangerous when that’s all we focus on. Constant consumption of surface-level content trains our minds to seek instant gratification, leaving little room for deep thinking, curiosity, or personal growth.

Now, look at China. While we were busy debating box office collections and binge-watching web series, China was investing in technology, education, and innovation. Their youth are learning AI, robotics, blockchain — and building products the world now relies on. They are becoming rich, not just financially, but in knowledge, capability, and influence.

Meanwhile, many of us are stuck in a loop of short-lived dopamine hits — craving likes, shares, and viral fame, without realizing we’re losing time that could be spent building skills, shaping careers, or solving real-world problems.

Can we make learning “go viral” too?
Can we start admiring people who build apps and companies the same way we admire actors and athletes?

Yes, we can. And it starts with us.

Let’s choose what we consume. Let’s follow people who inspire us to grow, not just those who entertain. Let’s create content that educates, empowers, and encourages critical thinking.

Let’s be clear — this is not about abandoning fun or entertainment. It’s about balance. It’s about being conscious of what we feed our minds every day. Just like junk food affects your body, mental junk affects your potential.

Start small.

  • Watch one documentary a week.

  • Subscribe to a channel that teaches something new.

  • Replace 15 minutes of scrolling with 15 minutes of reading or coding.

  • Talk about ideas, not just people.

If even 1 out of 10 young minds makes this shift, we can ignite a ripple effect across campuses, towns, and cities. Imagine an India where the youth is not just consuming trends but creating them — in science, in art, in entrepreneurship, in solving real-world issues.

We have the numbers.
We have the energy.
We have the intelligence.
All we need now is awareness.

So the next time you pick up your phone, ask yourself:
“Is this helping me grow?”
If not, swipe away. Choose better.

Let’s start a new trend — one where curiosity beats controversy, where creation beats consumption, and where growth goes viral.

The future of India depends on what its youth chooses to feed their minds today.
Make it count.

Google Creates a Digital Fruit Fly That Thinks, Moves, and Sees Like the Real Thing In a stunning leap forward for both artificial intelligence and biology, Google has developed a fully digital fruit fly—a virtual insect that lives inside a computer and behaves just like its real-world counterpart. This digital creation walks, flies, sees, and responds to its environment with lifelike precision. The journey began with a meticulous reconstruction of a fruit fly’s body using Mojo, a powerful physics simulator. The result was a highly detailed 3D model that could mimic the fly's physical movements. But a body alone doesn’t make a fly—it needed a brain. To create one, Google's team collected massive volumes of video footage of real fruit flies in motion. They used this data to train a specialized AI model that learned to replicate the complex behaviors of a fly—walking across surfaces, making sudden mid-air turns, and adjusting flight speed with astonishing realism. Once this AI br...

REAL GOD of GODs

In 2016, Amazon proudly unveiled its “Just Walk Out” technology, marketed as a groundbreaking artificial intelligence (AI) system that could detect and charge customers for items they picked up without human intervention. The reality, however, was far less high-tech than advertised. Behind the scenes, over a thousand overseas workers—primarily based in India—were manually monitoring and supporting the system. This revelation exposed a broader truth: the remarkable rise of AI is built not just on algorithms and computing power, but on the backs of an invisible human workforce. The Human Side of AI Contrary to popular belief, the engines that power virtual assistants, recommendation systems, and machine translation are not entirely autonomous. They require extensive human input to function effectively. This input often comes from data workers responsible for labeling images, transcribing audio, and categorizing content. While Silicon Valley giants present AI as a product of sophisticat...
