Exclusive breastfeeding in first six months influenced by family practices: Govt

Exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of life is influenced by multiple socio-cultural factors, including individual preferences, use of pre-lacteal feeds and infant milk substitutes, family practices and breastfeeding frequency, the government told Parliament on Tuesday.

Mumbai Doctors help nearly-blind man see again after rare dual eye surgery

Subhash Vishnu Chache, a 62-year-old resident of Vashi in Navi Mumbai has regained his vision after Navi Mumbai doctors conduct a rare and complex dual surgical procedure.  He had been living with a mature cataract and a dense corneal scar in his left eye, a rare and challenging combination that had left him nearly blind. A team of specialist ophthalmologists at the hospital's Wadala facility successfully restored his sight by performing Pinhole Pupilloplasty (PPP) along with cataract surgery. For Chache, the loss of vision happened gradually over the years. A dense scar had formed on the cornea, the transparent front layer of his left eye, preventing light from entering the eye properly. At the same time, the natural lens had become completely cloudy due to a mature cataract. His right ...

I live in a 1,600 sf home, and vacuuming and mopping it by hand takes a considerable chunk of time. Passing that labor off to a robot vacuum was a great decision.

If you also have a dog, a mix of different floor types, and a gym with a workout mat, this robot vacuum might work for you as well. Amazon currently has it for $799.99 (originally $1,499.99), a 47% discount and the lowest price it has ever been, according to price tracking tools.

Friendship Day 2026: Why platonic intimacy matters for mental health

Friendship is often treated as something optional in adult life, a pleasant addition if time permits but rarely viewed as essential to health. Yet mental health experts are increasingly challenging that idea. Emerging research and clinical observations suggest that deep, emotionally meaningful friendships are not simply social comforts. They may act as a measurable indicator of long-term mental, physical, and cognitive wellbeing. Strong friendships have been linked with lower stress, improved emotional regulation, healthier ageing, stronger immune responses, and even reduced risk of chronic disease. Experts describe this phenomenon as platonic intimacy: close, emotionally safe, non-romantic relationships built on trust, mutual support, belonging, and consistency. At a time when modern adu...
