Fun Fact: Your brain receives more information from inside your head than from your senses—and it often fills in the gaps without telling you. Imagine for a moment that nothing you see, hear, or feel is actually “real.” Not because you’re in a simulation or dreaming—but because your brain is always one step ahead, guessing …

Fun Fact: Nearly 97% of the atoms in your body were forged in the cores of ancient stars—long before Earth even existed. If you ever feel small or insignificant, here’s a truth that might just change the way you look at yourself forever: you are made of stardust. Not metaphorically. Not poetically. Literally. “You Are …
Fun Fact: The earliest known cities—including Mohenjo-Daro, Uruk, and Memphis—were all built next to rivers that still flow today. We think of rivers as passive forces—things we dam, drain, or divert. But what if rivers remember? What if every meander, flood, and dry bed carries a story of us—our triumphs, collapses, migrations, and mistakes? “What …
Fun Fact: On average, men are about 5 inches taller than women, but not just because of diet or hormones. Genetics has a new suspect: the SHOX gene. Why are men generally taller than women? If you’ve ever shrugged and said “hormones,” you’re not alone—but it turns out the story goes deeper, right into our chromosomes. …
Fun Fact: Fireflies aren’t flies—they’re actually beetles that can create light without heat! In a world where artificial lights flood our cities and drown out the stars, there’s something almost magical about a forest flickering with fireflies. This natural light, known as bioluminescence, is more than just a visual delight. It’s chemistry, communication, survival strategy, …
Fun fact: Scientists have already 3D-printed working mini-hearts that beat just like the real thing! Imagine being told you need a new heart, liver, or kidney—and instead of waiting on a long donor list, your doctors simply grow one for you in a lab. Sounds like science fiction, right? But this incredible idea is already …
Fun fact: Your skin completely renews itself roughly every 2–4 weeks—so you’re wearing a new ‘you’ more often than you think. We’ve all heard the claim— “you change every seven years.” Maybe your aunt said it at a family dinner. Or it came up during a conversation about relationships, careers, or personal growth. But is …
Fun Fact: The American Psychological Association (APA) officially recognised “eco-anxiety” as a legitimate psychological condition in 2017. You’re not imagining it. The tightness in your chest when you read about forest fires, the guilt when you forget your cloth bag, the dread that creeps in when monsoon patterns shift—it has a name. It’s called eco-anxiety. …
Fun Fact: A single drop of glacier meltwater can take weeks—or even years—to reach your kitchen tap! We turn on the tap and out comes water, clean and ready to drink. But have you ever wondered where it came from? Not just the city reservoir or the water tank, but really—where? In this blog, we …
Fun Fact: Albert Einstein once said, “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” As children, wonder comes naturally. A cardboard box becomes a spaceship. A bug on the windowsill becomes a friend. The stars in the night sky are portals to somewhere else. But something shifts as we grow older. Life becomes …
