  A Teenager's Take on FOMO "None of the songs are matching this photo damnit! I can't even think of a good caption, I'm going to be the last person to post the story for today's event.." Aditi threw her phone on the bed, giving up on her failed attempts at making the photo collage look up to the mark. "Will it really be that bad? If you don't post that story?" Mahi calmly asked her.  "Of course Maahi!! Everyone has already posted, and I was present at the event, it would look really embarassing if I don't-" "EMBARASSING??! Why?" "Because... it's a thing! It's important, you won't understand."

  The Parenting Illusion Every Indian parent has said at least once: “Bas padhai achhi karo, baaki sab ho jayega.” For decades, this formula worked. Study hard, get good marks, crack an entrance exam, secure a degree, and land a job. But today, this formula is breaking down. Our children are growing up in a different India. They have access to better schools, smartphones, global exposure, and complete freedom of choice—yet, 47% of Indian graduates remain unemployable (India Skills Report 2024). How is this possible? If Gen X and Millennials gave their kids comfort, freedom, and opportunity, why is Gen Z still struggling? The answer lies in a missing piece: Profile Building. Random Activities vs. Focused Profiles Between 14 and 22, most children engage in several activities: guitar classes, cricket coaching, volunteering at festivals, maybe robotics or coding camps. These are wonderful experiences, but often short-lived. By the time college ends, students have no cohe...
