How to Manage Your Increasingly Desperate App Notifications

My best friend messaged me on Facebook Messenger. It wasn’t urgent, so I swiped the notification away, making a mental note to reply later. Ten minutes later, Facebook sends another notification. “Reminder: [My friend] sent you a message.” This is clingy, even for Facebook. And it’s not the only app increasingly desperate for any crumb of attention.In just the last couple months, I’ve personally gotten dozens of what I can only call desperation notifications. Push alerts from apps that don’t really need anything, but would really like it if I gave them some attention anyway.

Why being 45 years is the new protein prime for Indian women

For the average Indian woman crossing 45 years of age, the subtle changes in her body are often dismissed as the inevitable ageing.

This National Protein Day, which is observed on February 27, mid-day debunks myths of the traditional Indian diet and revealing why the standard dal-chawal routine is failing women when they need strength the most. We aren`t just talking about nutrition; we are talking about a medical necessity. Sandipa Sen, senior clinical nutritionist at Manipal Hospital, a...
