Mental Health Day 2025: Spot Early Employee Stress Signs And Boost Workplace Well-Being

In the fast-paced modern workplace, stress among employees is becoming increasingly common, especially as Mental Health Day 2025 approaches tomorrow, 10th October. Work pressure, blurred boundaries between professional and personal life, and the need to constantly perform are shaping an environment where employees may struggle silently. Mr. Sanjay Desai, Author, Entrepreneur, Founder and CEO of ConsciousLeap, shares insight into recognising and addressing these challenges to create healthier workspaces. ALSO READ: Cold Showers: 5 Unexpected Effects That Will Change The Way You Think About Them Understanding Early Warning Signs Of Stress “Early warning signs of stress in employees are increasingly evident, especially among the Gen Z workforce. The work environment is uniquely stressful for this generation as they navigate significant workplace uncertainty and pressures such as blurred work life boundaries due to digital connectivity, high expectations to perform due to constant comparison, and a sense of dispensability with remote talent being a viable option. This is further compounded with limited job security making it difficult for them to bring their authentic selves to work,” Desai explains. Subtle behavioural changes such as extreme fatigue, decreased productivity, avoidance of coworkers, and increased irritability may appear first. Ignoring these signs can allow stress to escalate, impacting not just individual employees but the overall workplace culture. Recognising these early signals is the first step towards fostering a mentally healthy environment. Building A Culture That Prioritises Well-Being “Mental wellbeing is foundational to both individual and organisational success and therefore cannot be overlooked. Organisations can enable this by creating and sustaining a culture that prioritises employee wellbeing through a holistic integrated approach. This could include embedding wellbeing practices into learning and development programs and policies to nurture young leadership,” notes Desai. Practical interventions like Employee Assistance Programs, expert-led workshops, and structured conversations around stress management equip employees with tools to manage underlying pressures. These approaches not only support employees in the short term but also help cultivate resilience, improve engagement, and strengthen overall organisational productivity. Adopting Long-Term Wellbeing  “Supporting a culture of wellbeing for employees in today’s day and age goes beyond just short term healthcare activities or wellness programs; it requires building a foundational support of wellbeing essentials to support their workplace success. This requires an adoption of wellbeing education as a solution so that employees feel supported with a platform to mitigate mental wellbeing stressors. Proactively adopting these practices can help create a workplace where employees feel valued, supported and empowered, all of which drive individual and organisational success,” Desai adds. Wellbeing education provides employees with continuous learning and coping strategies that go beyond isolated wellness initiatives. When combined with transparent communication, mentoring, and an inclusive environment, organisations can proactively reduce stress, encourage authentic self-expression, and enhance workplace satisfaction across all levels.

Best Selling SUVs In September 2025: Tata Nexon Comes Out On Top

SUVs are ruling the roost and after the GST cuts, the Indian car buyers splurged on more new cars than ever with record sales. The big highlight though was the fact that the Nexon came out on top with sales of 22,573 units in September which beat all including Maruti Suzuki. This was the highest sales for Nexon and here the EV version contributes to about 15 percent of the total Nexon sales. The Nexon at 22k plus units outsold the Dzire which was at 20,038 units and Creta at 18,861 units plus the Scorpio at 18372 units and the Punch which is the second Tata here at 15891 units. With GST cuts, Nexon demand has increased since prices were slashed by Rs 1.55 lakh in case of the diesel. With new GST rates, the Nexon starts at Rs 7.3 lakh while some of the top-end petrol DCT models are cheaper by Rs 1.25 lakh. The Nexon comes with a variety of gearbox options and gets a CNG variant too. Along with the Nexon, the Creta also recorded its highest ever sales at 18k units plus while the Scorpio N also sold in record numbers. For Tata, the second product, the Punch has also been the best selling SUV in its class while being the second best selling sub 4m SUV after the Nexon. With the Nexon breaching the 20k barrier, it shows how the Indian car buyer is clearly favouring SUVs rather than hatchbacks with small cars going down in terms of the demand chain. In the top 5 best selling cars, there are four SUVs which tells the entire story! 

Sargodha Dal Makhani To Balakot Tiramisu: How IAF Dinner Menu Served A Hidden Message For Pak In 93rd Anniversary Feast

The Indian Air Force (IAF) marked its 93rd anniversary with a celebration that combined pride, pageantry, and a clear message of strength. The event, held at Air Force Station Hindan in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, showcased not just the IAF’s rich history but also its operational prowess, highlighting a force that has grown from humble beginnings into the fourth-largest air power in the world. The highlight of the day was the Heritage Flight’s breathtaking aerial display, a tribute to the skill, precision, and dedication of IAF personnel. Addressing the gathering, Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh, reflected on the Air Force’s journey and its unwavering commitment to excellence. He cited the recent Operation Sindoor as an example of the IAF’s precision and strategic capabilities, praising the bold air strikes that restored the country’s offensive edge in national defense. “The Indian Air Force continues to innovate and adapt, always guided by the principle: train like we fight,” Air Chief Marshal Singh emphasized. His remarks resonated with the audience, showcasing the IAF’s dedication to readiness and operational excellence. A Menu With A Message While the day was filled with patriotism and valour of the IAF, the evening dinner carried a symbolic and daring twist. The anniversary menu cleverly mirrored India’s recent military successes during Operation Sindoor, with dishes named after Pakistani airbases that were targeted in precise strikes. The image was posted by Major Manik M Jolly who is also a veteran of Gorkha regiment with a Sena Medal, and the caption he wrote signifies everything. He wrote, "The menu is just a summary and indicative of how @IAF_MCC took Pakistan’s bases one bite at a time and then wiped them off the plate."  Main Courses Included: Rawalpindi Chicken Tikka Masala Rafiqui Rhara Mutton Bholari Paneer Methi Malai Sukkur Sham Savera Kofta Sargodha Dal Makhani Jacobabad Mewa Pulao Bahawalpur Naan At first glance, the dish names might sound familiar, and for good reason. Each one represents a Pakistani airbase that India targeted and destroyed during its recent Operation Sindoor. The menu is just a summary and indicative of how @IAF_MCC took Pakistan’s bases one bite at a time and then wiped them off the plate 😀🫡 pic.twitter.com/WP4Rk4B7YN — Maj Manik M Jolly,SM (@Manik_M_Jolly) October 9, 2025 Someone in the comments wrote that IAF cooked, and another one wrote, that Kirana Kadhi was missing, signalling the Kirana hills.  Desserts Reinforced the Message: And of course, no celebration is complete without dessert. The IAF’s menu rounded off the symbolic feast with Balakot Tiramisu, Muzaffarabad Kulfi Faluda, and Muridke Meetha Paan — a sweet reminder of India’s strategic triumphs. Balakot Tiramisu Muzaffarabad Kulfi Faluda Muridke Meetha Pan Strong Messages from India’s Defence Leadership The IAF’s display comes amid heightened vigilance from India’s top military officials. The Defence Minister highlighted concerns over Pakistan’s growing military presence near the Sir Creek area, warning that any provocation could alter regional dynamics. Similarly, the Army Chief underscored that Pakistan must carefully consider its actions to avoid leaving a historical mark for all the wrong reasons. Meanwhile, the IAF Chief revealed that Indian forces had struck a target 300 km inside Pakistan, destroying more than eight enemy jets, a demonstration of India’s offensive capabilities and readiness to act decisively.

Forget Tom Cruise, Ratan Tata Was The Real 'Top Gun': WATCH When The Titan Flew An F-16 Over Bengaluru

The late business tycoon Ratan Tata was a man of many parts. Among his many passions was a certain knack for the "need for speed", and it was proven when he once soared over Bengaluru in an F-16 fighter jet, an experience that remains one of the most iconic chapters of his life in aviation. It was February 2007, during the Aero India Show in Bengaluru, when the then 69-year-old Tata Group chairman accepted an unusual invitation from US defence major Lockheed Martin. Tom 'Maverick' Cruise, known for his larger-than-life stunts and equal passion for everything that moves fast, is currently 63 years old. Tata was six years older. Let that sink in for a second. The Billionaire Who Loved The Sky Known for his passion for flying, and licensed to pilot both jets and helicopters, Ratan Tata was invited to co-pilot an F-16 Fighting Falcon, one of the world’s fastest and most agile combat aircraft. WATCH: Ratan Tata flies an F-16 fighter jetThe former Tata Group chairman's love for aviation is legendary. He was a licensed pilot, and flew the F-16 fighter jet, as seen here, and F-18 Super Hornet#RatanTata #TataGroup pic.twitter.com/4ARcw4qTEu — Forbes India (@ForbesIndia) October 10, 2024 Under the supervision of a Lockheed Martin pilot, Tata took partial control during the half-hour sortie. The duo climbed and dived over the Devanahalli skies, even flying as low as 500 feet above the terrain. For a man who had spent much of his life in boardrooms, this was a rush of a very different kind. ‘It’s Just Unbelievable’ Recalling the flight, Tata described the experience with unfiltered excitement. “You end up feeling very timid. We did a few things when the commander took over and did some roles, and all of it was very exciting. We went down to around 500 ft of the deck, and it flew around the topography, and it's just unbelievable because you just climb over a hill and come down, turn on your side or turn over. It's just unbelievable," he said. The Lockheed Martin pilot who accompanied him was equally impressed by the industrialist’s composure. “He was absolutely thrilled. The highlight was when we flew at low altitudes, around 500 feet, at 600 knots. You get a real sense of how fast this aircraft can move,” the pilot said. A Sky-High Week For Tata As if one supersonic flight wasn’t enough, Tata returned to the air the very next day, this time aboard Boeing’s F-18 Super Hornet. Bigger, heavier, and designed for aircraft carrier operations, the F-18 marked the second fighter jet he co-piloted within 48 hours. Upon landing, Lockheed Martin officials greeted him with a scaled replica of the F-16, a gesture symbolising not just the flight, but the company’s ongoing bid for a lucrative Indian Air Force contract. A Legacy Beyond Boardrooms Tata’s aerial exploits reflected the same fearless curiosity that shaped his business career. For him, flying was not merely a hobby; it was a lifelong fascination with machines, motion, and mastery. Ratan Tata passed away in Mumbai on October 9, 2024, at the age of 86. Yet stories like his daring flight over Bengaluru’s skies continue to soar, much like the man himself, always pushing limits, always looking upward.

World Sight Day 2025: 8 Ways To Protect Your Eyes And Boost Vision Health

Our eyes are the windows to the world, but still many of us take vision health for granted. With increasing screen time, pollution, and lifestyle pressures, protecting our eyes has become more crucial than ever. This World Sight Day 2025, let’s focus on actionable steps to preserve eyesight, prevent common eye problems, and enhance overall vision health. From daily habits to nutrition and preventive care, these 8 tips are designed to help your eyes stay sharp, comfortable, and healthy for years to come. ALSO READ: 30-Day No Sugar Challenge: Benefits, Risks, And How To Stay On Track 1. Regular Eye Exams (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Routine eye check-ups are essential for maintaining long-term vision health. Many eye conditions, like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, develop silently without noticeable symptoms. Visiting an ophthalmologist or optometrist at least once a year allows early detection and treatment of potential issues before they escalate. During these check-ups, your eye care professional can assess your prescription, check intraocular pressure, and examine the overall health of your retina and optic nerve. Proactive monitoring ensures that any corrective measures or lifestyle adjustments can be implemented promptly. 2. Protect Eyes From Harmful UV Rays (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays can lead to cataracts, macular degeneration, and other eye disorders. Wearing high-quality sunglasses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays is vital when stepping outdoors, even on cloudy days. You can opt for wraparound sunglasses or wide-brimmed hats that can further reduce exposure while adding style to your look. Beyond fashion, UV protection shields sensitive structures in the eyes from long-term damage caused by radiation. 3. Maintain A Nutrition-Rich Diet (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Your diet directly impacts the health of your eyes. Nutrients like vitamin A, C, E, omega-3 fatty acids, lutein, and zeaxanthin play a crucial role in preventing eye diseases and maintaining a clear vision. Leafy greens like pinach and kale, colourful vegetables such as carrots and bell peppers, and fatty fish like salmon and mackerel are excellent sources of these nutrients. Antioxidants help combat oxidative stress, protecting your eyes from cellular damage caused by free radicals. Incorporating these nutrient-rich foods into daily meals not only supports overall health but also strengthens your eyes against age-related degeneration. 4. Limit Screen Time And Reduce Digital Eye Strain (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Extended exposure to computer screens, smartphones, and tablets can cause digital eye strain, blurred vision, and headaches. Following the 20-20-20 rule, looking at something 20 feet away every 20 minutes for at least 20 seconds, can significantly reduce strain. Adjusting screen brightness and using anti-glare filters also protect the eyes from excessive light exposure. Maintaining a proper viewing distance and ensuring ergonomic posture prevents tension in the neck and shoulders, which can indirectly affect eye comfort. For students engaged in online learning, structured screen breaks are essential to avoid long-term vision problems. 5. Perform Eye Exercises Daily (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Just as physical exercise strengthens the body, eye exercises can enhance flexibility, focus, and overall visual comfort. Techniques like rolling the eyes clockwise and counterclockwise, focusing on near and distant objects alternately, and blinking frequently reduce eye fatigue and improve blood circulation. Palming, where you cover your closed eyes with your palms, relaxes ocular muscles and relieves tension. Practising these exercises regularly can alleviate strain that caused by reading, screen usage, or prolonged concentration. 6. Maintain Proper Lighting While Reading Or Writing (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Adequate lighting is crucial to prevent eye strain and headaches during reading, writing, or using screens. Insufficient light forces your eyes to work harder, causing fatigue and dryness. Positioning a desk lamp at the right angle and using ambient lighting can help reduce glare and shadows. Warm, indirect lighting is ideal for comfort, while natural daylight remains the best source when available. Adjusting screen brightness to match surrounding light conditions prevents sudden contrast, which can strain the eyes. 7. Practice Good Eye Hygiene (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Keeping your eyes clean and free from irritants is essential for avoiding infections and allergic reactions. Make sure you always wash your hands first before touching your eyes and avoid rubbing them if you feel irritation. For contact lens users, following the correct hygiene protocols, cleaning lenses, replacing them on schedule, and using fresh solution, prevents bacterial growth and discomfort. By adopting simple habits, you protect your eyes from unnecessary stress and preserve their natural health. 8. Stay Hydrated To Prevent Dry Eyes (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Dehydration can directly affect the eyes. It leads to dryness, redness, and irritation. Drinking an adequate amount of water throughout the day ensures proper tear production, which keeps the eyes lubricated and comfortable. In dry or air-conditioned environments, using a humidifier can further prevent moisture loss. Staying hydrated also benefits overall health, supporting blood circulation and nutrient delivery to ocular tissues.

When Ratan Tata Chose His Dog Over British Royal Honour, & Earned King Charles' Respect

Business icon Ratan Tata, who passed away at 86 in 2024, was celebrated not only for transforming the Tata Group into a global industrial giant but also for his unwavering empathy and humility. His story wasn’t just about boardrooms and billion-dollar deals; it was also about compassion, loyalty, and love for animals. One incident from 2018 remains a powerful reminder of the kind of man Tata was. A Royal Invitation Declined In early 2018, the British Asian Trust, led by King Charles (then Prince Charles), planned to honour Ratan Tata with a Lifetime Achievement Award for his philanthropic contributions. The ceremony was set to take place at Buckingham Palace on February 6, with several dignitaries in attendance. Tata had initially accepted the invitation and was expected to travel to London for the event. However, just days before the function, Tata made an unexpected decision; he cancelled his trip and chose not to attend the prestigious gathering. The reason was deeply personal and spoke volumes about his priorities. 'I Can’t Leave Him And Come' According to celebrated columnist Suhel Seth, who was involved in the event, Tata contacted him shortly before the ceremony. Seth recalled receiving several missed calls and, upon returning them, hearing Tata say, “Tango and Tito, his dogs, one of them had fallen terribly ill. I can’t leave him and come.” Despite Seth’s efforts to persuade him, explaining the significance of the award and the royal presence, Tata stood firm. For him, staying beside his sick pet mattered more than receiving honours in the company of kings and princes. King Charles' Remarkable Reaction When King Charles was informed of Tata’s decision and the reason behind his absence, he reportedly responded with admiration. Seth later shared the royal’s words: “That’s a man. That’s the man Ratan is. That’s why the house of Tata is what it is.” Those words summed up the global respect Ratan Tata commanded, not merely as an industrialist but as a human being with deep empathy. His decision reflected the same compassion that defined his philanthropic vision and the Tata Trusts’ initiatives supporting animal welfare. A Legacy Beyond Business This episode became emblematic of Tata’s values, quiet integrity, loyalty, and kindness that transcended accolades. Even at the peak of his global fame, Ratan Tata remained grounded, choosing love and empathy over grandeur. His legacy, much like that moment, will continue to remind the world that greatness is often defined by the simplest acts of humanity.

When Ratan Tata Could Not Marry The Love Of His Life Due To A War

In the early 1960s, a young Ratan Tata travelled to the United States, where, as revealed in the biography Ratan Tata: A Life, he entered a romantic relationship with 19-year-old Carolyn Emmons, a college student and daughter of renowned architect Frederick Earl Emmons. Carolyn’s father, co-founder of the influential architectural firm Jones and Emmons, introduced the two. Having recently earned his Bachelor of Science in architecture from Cornell University, Tata sought to work with Jones and Emmons, which brought him to Los Angeles and led to his meeting with Carolyn. According to Thomas Mathew’s biography, Carolyn considered Tata her “first true love,” and her mother reportedly saw him as “the most wonderful thing” for her daughter. Their relationship appeared promising, with both families supporting the budding romance. Ratan Tata's Love Interrupted By 1962 India-China Conflict The couple’s romance, however, faced an unexpected obstacle in 1962. In July, Tata returned to India to visit his ailing grandmother, with Carolyn planning to follow shortly. But in October, the India-China war broke out. Despite a ceasefire being declared within a month, Carolyn’s family grew concerned about the situation in India, making her travel there uncertain. The conflict ultimately led to the couple’s separation. Mathew writes, “Despite a ceasefire being declared within a month, the situation seemed too precarious to an American. Soon after, the two drifted apart.” Carolyn later married Owen Jones, an architect and pilot, but she remarked, “The funny thing is that I married a man who was very much like Ratan.” Rekindled Connection Years Later In 2007, Carolyn’s memories of Tata resurfaced while watching The Darjeeling Limited, a film about three estranged brothers on a journey through India. Inspired by a friend’s question about visiting India, she searched for Tata online and discovered he had become chairman of Tata Sons and Tata Trusts. Carolyn emailed Tata expressing her desire to visit India, and he welcomed her warmly. In 2008, she spent five weeks traveling across India and reconnecting with Tata for the first time in decades. Their renewed friendship continued over the years, including Carolyn’s visit to celebrate Tata’s 80th birthday in 2017.

NYT Connections Answers: If today’s New York Times Connections puzzle has you tangled in word webs, you’re not alone. The October 9 edition, Connections #850, threw players into a tricky mix of imagination, geology, journalism, and gaming nostalgia. A Quick Refresher: What Is NYT Connections? The daily Connections puzzle, published by The New York Times, challenges players to sort 16 words into four distinct groups, each linked by a shared theme. The goal is simple, but deceptive. As you drag and drop words like “Limestone,” “Princess,” and “Dateline” into what you think are correct sets, the game tests not just vocabulary but pattern recognition and lateral thinking. One wrong guess too many, and the puzzle ends automatically, revealing all four groups. Each set is colour-coded by difficulty: Yellow (easy), Green (moderate), Blue (challenging), and Purple (the hardest). Thursday’s Connections Hints: From Fantasy To Headlines For those struggling, the NYT provided subtle nudges. Thursday’s hints were: Yellow: None of these words are real... Green: This is a rocky theme. Blue: They're part of the paper. Purple: As seen in video games. Additional clues suggested grouping living beings and noticing that every category except purple featured at least one five-letter word. The NYT even teased one example from each group, “Fiction” (Yellow), “Limestone” (Green), “Dateline” (Blue), and “Gorilla” (Purple), offering just enough to keep players hooked without giving it all away. The Big Reveal: Today’s Four Connections Themes When the answers finally dropped, many players sighed in relief, and maybe a little disbelief.

The “Purple” set, referencing familiar video game protagonists like Mario the Plumber and Donkey Kong the Gorilla, was the clear nostalgia play of the day. Thursday’s Connections stood out for its playful variety. Whether you identified “Flint” as a rock or “Lede” as a journalism term, the puzzle rewarded both creativity and recall.

Paralvinella hessleri: The deep-sea worm that fights poison with poison, and shines like gold

A remarkable yellow worm, Paralvinella hessleri, thrives near boiling, toxic hydrothermal vents in the Pacific.

Vegetarian Passenger Chokes To Death Mid-Air After Being Asked To 'Eat Around' Meat 

An 85-year-old cardiologist from Southern California died mid-flight after allegedly choking on food served to him on a Qatar Airways flight from Los Angeles to Sri Lanka, according to a wrongful death lawsuit filed by his family. The deceased, identified as Dr Asoka Jayaweera, was a strict vegetarian and had pre-ordered a vegetarian meal, The Independent reported. However, flight attendants reportedly told him that no vegetarian options were left and advised him to “eat around” the meat in a regular meal. While attempting to do so, Jayaweera began choking and lost consciousness. The crew tried to assist and sought guidance from MedAire, a service that provides emergency medical advice to airlines. His oxygen levels reportedly fell to 69 per cent during the episode. Pilot Refused Emergency Landing Despite his condition, the complaint alleges the pilot refused to make an emergency landing, claiming the aircraft was flying over the Arctic Circle. However, Jayaweera’s family contends the plane was actually over the US Midwest, making diversion possible. When the aircraft finally landed in Edinburgh, Scotland, Jayaweera had been unconscious for over three hours. He was taken to a hospital but was pronounced dead, with doctors citing aspiration pneumonia caused by inhaling food into the lungs. His son, Surya Jayaweera, has filed a lawsuit in a California court accusing Qatar Airways of negligence and misrepresentation. The airline has not yet commented on the allegations.
