A familiar scene plays out across Indian households. Families sit together, debating whether to renew their health insurance. The question is never about the need for protection, but about whether the expense can be managed. Premiums already stretch budgets, and, until recently, the added burden of GST deepened the hesitation.

When big money talks
“The world is in a mess” is a common lament across the world. Not everyone agrees though, certainly not the ones who contribute to the mess or those who thrive on it, and certainly not the moneyed M&Ms of the world—Microsoft and Mercedes, Mark and Musk. But, then, they are not of this world anyway. They inhabit a distant galaxy. While most people feel the pincer pinch of inflation, infection and inequality, trillionaires’ wealth rockets to MoM-z14, the farthest observed galaxy, 33.8 billion light-years from planet earth.

Unlike the treatment of prisoners of war, there is no established procedure for the exchange of civilians. Ukraine insists that civilians should be released unconditionally, not turned into bargaining chips. Dmytro Lubinets, the Ukrainian parliamentary commissioner for human rights, says Russia is turning human lives into political leverage. Excerpts from an interview:

What separates leaders is how they process challenges
AFTER OVER THREE decades in the industry, I have come to see disruption not as isolated events but as a continuous recalibration of what is possible. Each wave of change has expanded the aperture for those willing to rethink fundamentals, while exposing the fragility of assumptions for those who weren't.

The frontal lobe
The frontal lobe is the part of the brain that makes us human. It is the seat of reason, planning, judgment, impulse control, and the quiet voice that stops us from doing the foolish things we very much want to do. It is, in essence, the brain's civilising department—the one that tells you not to send that angry text, not to eat the fourth gulab jamun (or, in my case, the tenth), and not to tell your boss what you really think of him.
