When did you start to become a passionate advocate for overall health? In 2006. When I joined the Executive MBA program at Notre Dame University, I noticed that my fellow students were the best in their respective fields, but were often the worst when it came to caring for their sleep, and their overall health. If you burn a candle at both ends, it will die away in half the time. To achieve sustainable excellence, you have to take care of your health. Protecting your mind and body begins with sound sleep. Why did you choose to specialize in care for people with sleep disorders? Sleep has always fascinated me.

CHIC CHIQ is a story of the discovery of Ayurveda, that began back in 2011 and has now resulted in the development of a line of luxury cosmetics inspired by Ayurveda. We have conducted an interview with Patrycja Rotithor, founder of ChicChiq Ayurveda cosmetics . What is Chic Chiq?  Chic Chiq is a luxury cosmetics and lifestyle brand rooted in the ancient Ayurveda philosophy.  When was the first time you learn about Ayurveda and these 'whole-body' holistic systems?  When living in Hong Kong, the humidity caused my hair to be frizzy and my skin to be oily. Mainstream beauty products did not help, and I was ready to give up when a colleague introduced me to Ayurveda. Seven years later, I use Ayurveda-inspired beauty techniques and ingredients every day. Why did you decide to start Chic Chiq Ayurveda Cosmetics?  Traditional Ayurveda products in India can be off-putting. They are usually packaged in non-descript plastic bags, are messy...

Krishnendu Ghosal is an unsigned solo artist from India going under the artist name of Socially Altered . He has self-released a single recently called "Limbo". We have conducted an interview with him. What is your style of music? My primary style of music is rock, and my secondary style is a mix of psychedelic rock, pop rock and alternative. It solely depends on the thought behind a song. I prefer to write songs to tell a story or show a particular emotion. So if the story or emotion behind the song relates to aggression, my style for that song would be more towards alternative rock than psychedelic rock or pop rock. In the same way if a song is about inner thoughts of a person the song would be more towards psychedelic rock. So I would say my style is a mix of a few sub genres of rock. How did you develop this style? Who are your musical influences? I have no formal training in music and I didn't try developing this style. I listen to a lot of mu...
