"To thrive in life you need three bones. A wishbone , A Back bone and A Funny bone"

💡Did you know?💡

👉🏻More than half of your bones are located in your hand and feet, there are around 26 bones in human feet and about 54 bones located in human hands.

Crazy right?

👉🏻Bones are considered as a living tissue. Because collagen in bone constantly replenishes itself which is why it's lifelong activity.

👉🏻Generally!! People are born with 12 ribs, but in very few cases they have 13 ribs. Which is rare, but somehow 1 percent of people are born with 13th rib, which is called cervical rib and this can cause medical issues like neck pain.

👉🏻You might be aware of that! Humans are born with 300 bones but as we adult the small tiny bones fuse together to form larger bones in human body, which is around 206 in number

👉🏻Also, the knee joint is said to have the largest joint in human body (includes femur, tibia and patella) and the smallest bone is your ear ( malleus, hammer, stirrup)

👉🏻And one more thing!! It takes around 12 weeks for a bone to heal!

A wishbone , a back bone and a funny bone"

Student Suicides and Why Young Voices Must Be at the Center

....This shift in narrative is important: it reflects the world we want — where young professionals are trusted for their sensitivity and fresh perspective , and where treatment begins with trust, compassion, and dignity , not fear or coercion.... World Mental Health Day– October 10, 2025 Recently, the leadership of Nada India Foundation met actor Amol Parashar in Delhi. We appreciated his courage in taking on socially responsive roles in web series such as Gram Chikitsalay and the live performance Besharam Aadmi . These performances stood out because they did not shy away from difficult truths — about stigma, dignity, and the shift from inner monologues of silence to open dialogues about the everyday realities of mental health. But while art can inspire, the reality we face as young people today is heartbreaking. According to NCRB data , student suicides in India have risen by 34% in 2023 compared to 2019 . Behind these numbers are not just statistics but ...

Owning Knowledge, Owning Action – My Journey from Social Work to Law through RTI and COTPA

Owning Knowledge, Owning Action – My Journey from Social Work to Law through RTI and COTPA If I had to name one thing that Nada India Foundation and Suneel Sir have permanently etched into my heart, it would be this: Ownership of Knowledge. This isn’t about collecting facts like stamps in an album. It’s about holding knowledge in your hands, understanding it deeply, making it a part of your thinking, and — most importantly — putting it into action. I first learned this lesson in my social work days, and I’ve carried it everywhere since — right into the heart of my legal journey. From Social Work to the Law Books During my undergraduate and postgraduate studies in social work, I worked on issues ranging from youth awareness to substance abuse prevention . Those days taught me that knowledge without application is like a library that’s never opened. When I transitioned into law school, I didn’t leave my social work instincts behind. I chose law as a career because it was another ...
