'If we don’t break that cycle…': It’s raining 'mosquitoes' over Hawaii — Here’s the reason why

In a unique conservation effort, Hawaii is deploying thousands of lab-reared male mosquitoes via drones and helicopters to combat invasive species threatening native honeycreepers. These specially treated insects, carrying a bacterium that prevents their eggs from hatching, aim to drastically reduce the wild mosquito population responsible for spreading deadly avian malaria.

How Indian Men’s Skincare Transformed In 15 Years: Dermatologist Reveals The Real Reason Behind The Shift

How Indian Men’s Skincare Transformed In 15 Years: Dermatologist Reveals The Real Reason Behind The Shift

Over the last decade, Indian men have undergone a dramatic transformation in how they view skincare. From using a single soap bar for everything to investing in serums, retinol and dermatological treatments, the shift has been unmistakable across cities and age groups. According to Dr Soma Sarkar, MBBS, MD, Dermatology, Co-Founder and Lead Dermatologist at Skin Beyond Borders, this change did not happen overnight, it was shaped by cultural exposure, social media influence and changing lifestyles. ALSO READ: Breathing City Air? 8 Everyday Detox Rituals To Protect Your Skin, Lungs, And Immunity The Real Trigger Behind India’s Men’s Skincare Boom A decade ago, most Indian men followed an extremely minimal routine. Dr Soma Sarkar explains that “this significant shift was triggered by numerous advertisements for skincare products that are seen on social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.” She adds that men traditionally preferred simple routines because “they already have a lot on their plates.” However, the turning point came during the COVID-19 pandemic. With long working-from-home hours and more free time, many men finally paid attention to grooming. As Dr Sarkar notes, “they may have seen the women in their house using skincare and eventually took an interest in the same.” This curiosity slowly transformed into regular self-care habits, pushing men to adopt proper routines beyond just soap and water. Why Men's Skincare Needs Are Not The Same As Women’s A major misconception still persists, that men can simply borrow products designed for women. Dr Sarkar insists that “the myth that needs to end is that men can use female skincare products.” Men’s skin texture, pH levels and oil production are different, meaning women’s products are rarely suitable. Although men and women follow similar routine steps (cleanser, moisturiser, sunscreen), Dr Sarkar clarifies that “the only difference is the ingredients inside the products.” She emphasises that a man’s profession, lifestyle and consistency matter far more than the number of products he uses. As she puts it, “skincare is really deep, and a good skincare routine will give the best results over time.” Treatments That Are Growing Fastest Among Indian Men The surge in grooming awareness has also increased demand for dermatological procedures. According to Dr Sarkar, “the fastest growing treatment among men is laser hair reduction, followed by acne pigmentation and anti-aging.” What’s interesting is how men are using LHR. Many now prefer clean beard shaping or hair removal from areas such as the earlobes and fingers. Dr Sarkar points out that some even opt for “full-body LHRs, which include private parts like buttocks, excluding the genitals.” Acne remains a major concern across age groups, with more men seeking timely consultation. Anti-ageing treatments, however, still lag behind because “it has a lot of pricks and pokes and is somewhat painful.” The Biggest Skincare Mistakes Men Made 10–15 Years Ago Grooming was not always a priority for Indian men. Dr Sarkar reflects that “the biggest skincare mistake that Indian men used to make 10–15 years ago was probably using anything on their face without actually seeing the ingredients or whether it was suitable for their skin or not.” From using a single soap for body, hair and face to carelessly applying perfume on skin, the practices were far from healthy. But she acknowledges a positive shift, “now, doing skincare is more like a trend instead of the taboo that men used to think it was.” Today, more men visit dermatology clinics, understand ingredients and follow structured routines designed for their needs.

Why Elon Musk Responded 'Maybe You Should' When Kamath Said He Has No Kids

Nikhil Kamath, co-founder of Zerodha, has released a new episode of his ‘WTF’ podcast and his guest this time is Elon Musk. The episode is available on Kamath’s YouTube channel and covers topics like technology, business, innovation and personal life.  But the part that caught everyone’s attention was the emotional discussion about having children. Musk opened up about parenthood in a very honest and relatable way, and his comments became the most talked-about moment from the podcast. Elon Musk Gives Parenting Advice To Nikhil Kamath During the episode, Kamath casually said that he does not have kids. Elon Musk immediately replied, “Maybe you should,” encouraging him to think about starting a family. Kamath added that many people tell him the same thing. Musk then explained why having kids is so important to him. He said that a child gives life a special meaning. He described how a baby starts off with no understanding of the world and cannot survive alone, but slowly begins to walk, talk, and think.  Musk said that watching a child grow and see the world through their eyes is one of the greatest joys of life. He also said that people need to have children for the future of humanity; otherwise, humans may not survive as a species. This part of the conversation stood out because it was emotional, sincere, and very different from the usual serious business talks Musk is known for. Elon Musk Reacts Playfully When Kamath Compliments His Physique The podcast also had a fun moment. Kamath told Musk that he looked more muscular and bigger than he expected. Musk laughed and replied, “Oh stop, you’re making me blush.”  The episode continues the idea behind the ‘WTF’ podcast, creating a space where people can learn from deep, open and real conversations about life, business and everything in between.

Dough Kneaded With Bare Feet At Giant Feast: Viral Video Might Gross You Out

Videos on social media often leave people shocked. Sometimes a grand wedding becomes the centre of attention, and sometimes the huge amount of food prepared for a feast surprises everyone. Right now, a new viral video has started a big debate online.  The clip appears to be from a large feast or a panchayat-level event, where food is being prepared in massive quantities. In the video, workers are seen kneading dough for puris, but the method is unusual and has confused viewers. Instead of using their hands, they are kneading the dough with their feet. Viral Video Of Puri Dough Being Kneaded With Feet The video shows one man sitting on a chair with his feet inside a huge iron pan full of flour, pressing and mixing the dough. Another worker standing next to him is also kneading the dough with his feet in the same pan.  हां भाई...खालो पूड़ियां pic.twitter.com/Spu6IaseGm — आजाद भारत का आजाद नागरिक (@AnathNagrik) November 30, 2025 Both of them are working together to prepare dough for a very large gathering. Many people watching the video are shocked, as this method is something they have never seen before. It is clear that kneading such a huge quantity of dough by hand would be extremely difficult.  The tired and stressed faces of the workers show how heavy the workload is. A pile of puris ready to be fried can also be seen beside them, proving how big the event is. Hot Puris Being Fried At A Large Feast The second part of the viral video shows another worker taking dough from a large table and placing it on a pan. The puri he prepares is very big and thin, almost like a sheet. As soon as it is placed in the hot oil, it puffs up instantly.  The whole setup looks like one used for big fairs, ceremonies, religious functions, or community feasts where food is prepared for thousands of people.  After watching the video, many users commented that they will now think twice before eating puris outside.

World AIDS Day 2025: History, Significance, And Key Facts You Should Know

Every year, World AIDS Day reminds the global community of the ongoing battle against HIV and the importance of awareness, prevention, compassion, and collective responsibility. Marked on 1 December, this international health observance encourages people to stand in solidarity with those living with HIV while honouring the millions who lost their lives to AIDS-related illnesses. World AIDS Day 2025 continues to serve as a powerful call to action, urging governments, organisations, and individuals to remain committed to ending HIV as a public health threat. ALSO READ: Can Lifestyle Changes Help Control Chronic Hepatitis Progression? Know Here World AIDS Day 2025: History World AIDS Day was first established in 1988 by the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNAIDS, making it the first-ever global health day. The primary aim was to create awareness about a growing epidemic that was misunderstood, stigmatised, and rapidly spreading. Over the decades, this observance has played a significant role in educating people, shaping policy discussions, and mobilising nations to improve healthcare access and introduce life-saving treatments such as antiretroviral therapy (ART). World AIDS Day 2025: Significance The 2025 observance comes at a crucial time when global health systems continue working towards the target of ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030. It highlights several key priorities: Raising awareness about HIV transmission, early diagnosis, and prevention. Supporting individuals living with HIV by promoting dignity, rights, and access to treatment. Breaking stigma and discrimination, which remain major barriers to treatment and testing. Encouraging governments and organisations to invest in healthcare innovation and community-led programmes. The day also serves as a reminder that progress is possible, millions of people now lead healthy lives with timely treatment, something unimaginable just decades ago. Why Awareness Still Matters Despite medical advancements, misconceptions and stigma continue to affect people worldwide. Many still do not receive early testing or treatment, and awareness levels remain uneven across countries. World AIDS Day encourages people to stay informed, advocate for inclusive healthcare, and support initiatives that protect vulnerable communities. As the world observes World AIDS Day 2025, the message remains clear: knowledge, compassion, and collective action are essential to building a future where HIV is no longer a threat.

Mind-bending theory claims we’re actually in the year 1726 and that 300 years of history never happened

A fringe historical theory claims we’re actually living in the 1700s, arguing that nearly 300 years of early medieval history were fabricated by medieval rulers. But historians point to recorded astronomy, tree-ring dating and extensive global archives as solid evidence those centuries really occurred. The Phantom Time Hypothesis remains a fascinating idea, but not one supported by serious scholarship.

8 Everyday Foods That Are Surprisingly Healthier When Eaten Raw

8 Everyday Foods That Are Surprisingly Healthier When Eaten Raw

Cooking changes the flavour, texture, and digestibility of food, but it also changes its nutrient profile. While some foods become healthier when cooked, many everyday ingredients actually lose vitamins, antioxidants, and natural enzymes when exposed to heat. Eating certain foods raw can help boost immunity, improve digestion, enhance energy levels, and support long-term wellness. Here are eight common foods that deliver more goodness in their natural, uncooked form. ALSO READ: Winter Weight Gain: Expert Explains Hidden Reasons And Easy Diet Swaps To Stay Fit This Season 1. Tomatoes (Image Source: Canva) Raw tomatoes are a powerhouse of vitamin C, potassium, folate, and water content. They are perfect for hydration and immunity. When eaten raw, they retain maximum vitamin C, which significantly decreases during cooking. Vitamin C is highly heat-sensitive and begins breaking down even at moderate temperatures. Raw tomatoes also provide a rich supply of enzymes that help your body break down food more efficiently and promote better skin health due to their natural collagen-supporting compounds. While cooking increases lycopene bioavailability, it drastically reduces the fruit’s natural antioxidant balance. Raw tomatoes offer a broader nutrient spectrum, including natural sugars, fibre, and plant compounds that support heart health, reduce inflammation, and improve digestion. 2. Onions (Image Source: Canva) Raw onions are exceptionally rich in powerful antioxidants and prebiotics that support gut health. Heating onions destroys a large portion of allicin, the sulphur-based compound responsible for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral properties. When eaten raw, onions help lower cholesterol, stabilise blood sugar, and strengthen the immune system by promoting the growth of healthy gut bacteria. They are also one of the best natural sources of quercetin, an antioxidant that improves heart health, reduces allergy symptoms, and protects against chronic diseases. Raw onions also support detoxification by stimulating liver enzyme activity. 3. Garlic (Image Source: Canva) Raw garlic is considered one of the most powerful natural medicines. It contains allicin, a compound known for antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial effects, but allicin only forms when garlic is crushed or chopped and left raw for a few minutes. Cooking destroys up to 90% of allicin, significantly reducing garlic’s medicinal value. Eating raw garlic supports heart health by reducing blood pressure, lowering cholesterol, and improving blood circulation. It also boosts immunity, helps fight infections, and promotes detoxification. Raw garlic also strengthens digestion by stimulating gut enzymes and reducing inflammation in the intestinal lining. 4. Spinach (Image Source: Canva) Spinach is one of the most nutrient-dense leafy greens, but many of its vitamins degrade with heat. Raw spinach contains much higher levels of folate, essential for energy production, brain health, and red blood cell formation. Cooking can reduce folate levels by up to 50%. Raw spinach also retains its natural vitamin C, carotenoids, and antioxidants that support eye health, skin repair, and immunity. When cooked, the delicate vitamin C is destroyed quickly. Raw spinach is also rich in fibre and water, keeping the digestion process smooth and supporting weight management. Adding raw spinach to smoothies, sandwiches, salads, or wraps helps you absorb more of its nutrients without altering its natural enzymes. 5. Nuts (Image Source: Canva) Raw nuts such as almonds, walnuts, cashews, and pistachios are packed with healthy monounsaturated fats, protein, and minerals. When roasted, the heat alters their fat structure, reducing the quality of beneficial oils and sometimes creating harmful compounds. Raw nuts retain their natural nutrients, including vitamin E, magnesium, and antioxidants that support heart health and cognitive function. They are also high in natural enzymes that aid digestion and improve nutrient absorption. Roasting deactivates these enzymes and often adds unnecessary salt or sugar. Raw nuts promote steady energy release, making them ideal for weight control, snack cravings, and blood sugar stability. 6. Cabbage (Image Source: Canva) Raw cabbage is a nutritional gem, exceptionally high in vitamin C, fibre, and glucosinolates, plant compounds known for their anti-cancer potential. Cooking destroys these glucosinolates and reduces vitamin C drastically. Eating cabbage raw ensures you get its full disease-fighting properties and maximum antioxidant strength. Raw cabbage also supports gut health by feeding good bacteria, improving digestion, and helping reduce bloating. It’s naturally low in calories, making it excellent for weight loss and detoxification. When consumed uncooked, cabbage provides sulphur-rich compounds that enhance skin repair, reduce inflammation, and cleanse the liver. 7. Beetroot (Image Source: Canva) Beetroot is famous for boosting stamina, improving blood flow, and enhancing exercise performance, benefits that are strongest when eaten raw. Cooking beetroot reduces its nitrate levels, which are responsible for increasing nitric oxide in the body. Raw beetroot helps widen blood vessels, improve oxygen delivery, and support heart health. Raw beets also retain more folate, vitamin C, and naturally occurring antioxidants that help reduce inflammation and support glowing skin. When eaten raw, they enhance digestive health thanks to their fibre and enzyme content. 8. Carrots (Image Source: Canva) Carrots are well-known for their beta-carotene, which remains relatively stable during cooking. However, raw carrots contain more vitamin C, natural digestive enzymes, and water content that gets lost when cooked. Raw carrots support better immunity, digestion, and hydration. Their high fibre content keeps the gut healthy and prevents constipation. Eating them raw also boosts eye and skin health due to rich antioxidants and carotenoids. Adding them to salads, hummus platters, or fresh juices helps you get their full spectrum of nutrients.

Men are puzzled by the ‘stitch line’ running down the scrotum: Here’s what it actually is

Many men eventually discover a seam-like line on their scrotum and wonder whether it’s a scar, or something abnormal. In fact, it’s completely normal and medically known as the scrotal raphe, a developmental remnant from early fetal life. Health experts explain how, during embryonic development, genital tissue fuses under the influence of hormones, leaving this visible line, a harmless anatomical marker we all began with.
