The Silent Impact of Brain Concussions in Sports

Injuries in sports often come with clear signs. A broken arm. A torn ligament. A visible limp. But concussions are different. They don’t leave obvious marks. Yet, they can change a person’s life completely. Concussions are brain injuries. They happen when a blow or jolt to the head causes the brain to shake inside the skull. This disrupts normal brain function. For athletes, it’s not rare—it’s common. A Hit Can Change Everything In contact sports like football, boxing, and hockey, concussions happen more often than we admit. Even cricket, with its hardball and fast bowlers, isn’t immune. You might remember the movie Concussion starring Will Smith. It told the real story of Dr. Bennet Omalu, who discovered chronic brain damage in American football players. The film showed how repeated concussions can lead to long-term problems like memory loss, depression, and even suicidal thoughts. Symptoms Are Easy to Miss Right after a concussion, symptoms may seem small. Dizziness. Headache. Troub...

The Physics Behind Roller Coasters and Why They Feel Like Magic

Roller coasters aren’t just about speed and screams. They’re carefully designed machines powered by physics. Each drop, twist, and loop is backed by calculations. The ride feels wild, but the science behind it is precise. Gravity at Work The journey starts with a climb. That slow, rattling rise builds suspense. What’s really happening is a transfer of energy. The motor pulls the coaster up, giving it potential energy. Like a stretched rubber band waiting to snap. Once it reaches the top, gravity takes over. That stored energy becomes kinetic energy—the energy of motion. The first drop? It’s gravity pulling you down. That’s why it feels like flying. Newton’s Laws in Every Loop Newton’s laws are everywhere in a roller coaster. The first law says objects in motion stay in motion. So when the car drops, it wants to keep moving. That’s why your body lifts from the seat. The second law explains acceleration. The more force, the faster the ride. That tight turn at high speed? You feel pushed ...

Exploring Northeast India through the Eyes of a Traveller

Travel isn’t only about ticking places off a list. It's about stories. About people. And about feeling part of something bigger than yourself. Northeast India is a place that brings all of that together. It’s one of India’s most beautiful and least explored regions. Yet, those who go there never forget it. From Assam to Arunachal Pradesh, each state has something different to offer. You won’t find large crowds here. You’ll find silence, conversations, and untouched nature. Culture in Every Turn Every corner of Northeast India feels unique. Walk into a village in Nagaland and you’re part of an old world. Head to Meghalaya, and you’ll see how nature and people live together. In Mizoram, kindness flows as freely as the rivers. Food also plays a huge role. From pork dishes in Nagaland to bamboo shoot curry in Manipur, each bite tells a story. Watching The Lunchbox reminds us how food builds emotional bridges. In the Northeast, every meal is an invitation to learn more about the people...
