But when Priyanka Chopra entered an interview room one weary morning—running on four cups of coffee and no sleep—she offered a perspective not commonly found in successful people. “Main koshish karti hoon ki jo main hoon, usi tarah se main room ko enter karoon.

Orthopaedic surgeon shares 5 habits he has given up after years in the practice: ‘Your knees and hips will beg you to…’

From the way we sit and sleep to the shoes we wear and the workouts we skip, certain everyday practices can quietly accelerate wear and tear, gradually compromising mobility and stability over time. What may seem harmless now can lay the groundwork for stiffness, chronic pain and even surgical intervention later. Try out Dr Abbasi’s recommendations for long term musculoskeletal health.
