In today’s world, life seems to move in a rigid loop—home, work or school, and then back home again. Somewhere along the way, we have quietly lost something essential: third spaces. These are the places that exist outside of our obligations, where we can simply exist, connect, build community, and belong without pressure. The concept of third spaces was introduced by sociologist Ray Oldenburg in his book The Great Good Place.  In this work, Oldenburg explains how third spaces are essential for building strong, connected communities. According to him, third spaces are neutral grounds, meaning anyone can come and go freely without obligation. Conversation is the main activity, allowing people to engage, exchange ideas, and build relationships naturally.  The decline of third spaces reflects larger social and economic shifts. Urbanisation and privatization have reshaped cities. Open, accessible public areas are increasingly replaced by commercial spaces. Spaces are designed to ge...

    In India, something very natural is still treated like a secret, while something harmful is openly accepted. Periods—something every girl and woman goes through—are often hidden, whispered about, or even considered “shameful.” On the other hand, alcohol is sold freely, advertised boldly, and consumed without much hesitation.   Menstruation is a basic biological process. Yet many girls are told not to talk about it, not to enter temples, or even not to sit with others during their periods. In some places, girls miss school because they don’t have access to proper sanitary products or feel embarrassed. This stigma can affect their confidence, education, and even health. Lack of awareness around menstrual hygiene can also lead to infections and serious issues.   In contrast, alcohol—despite its known risks—is widely normalized. Shops openly sell it, people casually talk about drinking, and it is often linked with celebration or status. But the truth is, alco...

Delhi’s Waterlogging Crisis ​Every monsoon, India’s capital transforms into a series of lakes. While the images of submerged buses and massive traffic jams go viral, the core issue remains unaddressed. The question is: Who is to blame? ​1. Administrative Failure: Outdated Systems ​Ancient Drainage: Delhi’s drainage master plan is decades old and cannot handle the current population density or rainfall intensity. ​Lack of Coordination: Multiple agencies (MCD, PWD, DDA) often engage in a "blame game" rather than cleaning of drains before the rains arrive. ​Encroachment: Illegal constructions over natural drainage paths block the exit of rainwater. ​2. Public Negligence: The Clogging Habit ​Waste Disposal: Citizens often throw plastic waste and garbage into open drains. This debris chokes the system, preventing even a functional drain from working. ​Lack of Civic Sense: Urban flooding is worsened when local communities treat drainage outlets as dump yards. ​3. The Concrete Jungl...
