A fascinating part of our brain – Prefrontal Cortex (PFC)

-

 😍Our brain tends to develop from back to front, which places PFC last in the stage of development. Being located on the very front side of our brain, this magical area plays a captivating role of

  • Dopamine and serotonin secretion
  • Rationale decision making
  • Problem-solving
  • Enhanced working memory
  • Attentional focus
  • Information modulation
  • Intelligence and self-awareness

 

The most notable point is that strengthening PFC is totally in our hands. Shifting from the addiction to short-term pleasures toward long-run goal-directed behaviors may assist us in cultivating the next PFC workout.

 

  • Any juggle activity that engages your concentration.
  • Volunteering and being of service rushes blood to your PFC.
  • Integrating jokes, creating silly sentences, cartoons and acronyms help the brain in flexible thinking
  • Deny the dramatic stuff such as gossiping, as it always negatively affects your PFC.
  • Streamline your time and efforts for long-term pleasures rather than being addicted to short-term pleasures.
  • Practice solving some basic arithmetic exercises and puzzles spontaneously.
  • Cherish the habit of asking questions and develop inquisitiveness and curiosity.

In conclusion, to make sound decisions, the front of our frontal lobe needs to get fed with nutritious food and physical exercise. Hence, intelligently build up this control room of emotional intelligence.

My Silver Strands at 27🩶

-
💜 I love adding colours to my world be it on a canvas or a sketchbook. But when it comes to my hair, I choose not to colour them. I recently came across an interesting fact: A butterfly cannot see its own wings. Others admire its beauty, but it remains unaware of its own splendour. Similarly, people around me appreciate my clarity, maturity, and perspective on life, yet they struggle to accept my grey hair. Their resistance confuses me every time. Ironically, I am doing PhD on the issues related to ageing populations, and it seems my body took the topic too seriously! Jokes apart, my hair has become an unintentional statement one that I now wear with quiet confidence.  I get constant reminders from people walking on the road to attending conferences and weddings about these silver linings .  The irony? I don’t notice my grey strands unless I look in a mirror. And so, I let them (both people and hair) be, just as I let life unfold naturally and in its own time. Being a  ...

In His Time, I Grew

-
It’s been 10 years since I began studying economics, nothing more than learning to estimate costs, quantify variables, and evaluate outcomes. But for the past 27 years, I’ve lived as the second daughter of a man whose time, love, and effort can never be measured by any economic modelling or empirical evidence. No formula can capture the cost of his sacrifices as standing under the harsh sun outside my exam centre, gazing at hospital corridors during my checkups, running for college admissions, or waiting alone on an airport bench through the night, just to see me return safely from my first international solo trip. I may not be living a perfectly healthy and wealthy life, but he always makes sure I’m living one worth everything. And every time someone says, “Bilkul papa pe gayi hai”, my heart swells with pride because that’s the best compliment I could ever receive. His timeless efforts have sparked a feeling in me to transform the moment I was born with the words "Firse beti hui ...

The Pain and The Gain🌻

-
The very first rule of living with nephropathy is simple yet harsh: no painkillers for the rest of my life. At first, that thought felt unbearable, as how could I possibly manage pain without relief? But over time, I’ve learned something essential: pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. Pain will always show up, but suffering comes from how we choose to respond to it. Life has taught me that when the quick fixes are taken away, when you can no longer numb discomfort, you’re left with only one option: to face it. And in that facing, something shifts. Pain stops being an enemy to fight against and becomes a teacher. It teaches you your limits, your strength, and your resilience. I think of it like living with photosensitive eyes. Brightness overwhelms me, intensity blinds me, and yet over time, my eyes adjust. That sensitivity, though uncomfortable, also allows me to notice things others might miss, like the subtle hues, the quiet details, the richness of the world’s colours. I am no...
