Notoriously recognized as one of the most overworked and overstressed age group, 20 year olds today are facing a dangerous health crisis. We’re battling obesity, hormonal imbalances such as Hyper and Hypothyroidism and PCOD, autoimmune diseases and severe nutritional deficiencies. One of the bigger contributors to this crisis has been our relationship with food - alongside the intense cravings and not knowing when to put a hault to stress eating or overeating, we are also placed with the problem of information overload. We often don’t know how to navigate through the plethora of information that is out there on nutrition and health and sometimes end up giving in to drastic diet patterns and other trending food habits.

However, joining me today is Naghma Nurany, a health expert who is also a core member of India’s greatest health expert Rujuta Diwekar’s team of nutritionists. Naghma advocates simplicity in food habits and endorses the implementation of long standing food traditions passed on to us by our ancestors. She is of the view that 20 year olds today can fight the battle of growing health issues by shifting their perspective of food from macros and micro to local and seasonal and also by following eating patterns that are easy to abide by and are sustainable in the long run.

Since the monogamy of the booming postwar fifties to today’s matchmaking in the digital economy, not much has changed. The means has ofcourse; we no longer block calendars based on unspoken preferences, we just use extensive filters and make a choice with 2 second swipes. In today’s age, the way we consume love is bolstered by self branding and almost fraudulent misrepresentations of ourselves. Its almost like a gig of sorts where the ‘personal’ has become ‘professional.’ Apps today cover weight, sexual orientation, ethnicity and more but have we lost the plot on defining the end goal of dating? Are we trying to find love or just “be loved” for a few hours by dozens of people? Go ahead, listen in on what my guests have to say.

Social media and its perils have been widely discussed and debated. But I view it as one of the greatest tools out there to help you explore the potential of your creativity. Archit Agarwal (@architlost on instagram), a Gurgaon based social media influencer, joined me to discuss his journey, his blogs and his quest of building a brand on Instagram. He rejoices in the fact that creating content can be so therapeutic. He also shared some great tips on making the most of this medium, without succumbing to its hazards.

We’re all familiar with the term ‘Ambition’ and what it entails: Am I making enough money? Why am I not the best at work? Shouldn’t I be in a leading firm by now? My friends and I want you to think about ambition differently this time. We want you to redefine it for yourself and ensure that at its core, it helps you attain happiness.
