Indian parents, this is important.
Short video apps: Reels, Shorts, TikTok-style content are not “just harmless entertainment.” A 2024 EEG study @FrontNeurosci found that higher short-video addiction scores were linked to reduced theta activity in the prefrontal cortex (the brain area responsible for attention and self-control).
Lower self-control. Weaker executive focus.
Another study in @JAMAPediatrics (2023) linked excessive early screen exposure to delayed language and executive development.
Children’s brains are highly plastic. Rapid, algorithm-driven dopamine bursts condition them to crave constant novelty. Over time, attention shortens. Irritability rises. Homework suffers. Social withdrawal increases. This is not about banning technology. It’s about boundaries.
@WHO guidance is clear:
• No screens under 2 years
• Max 1 hour/day (2–5 years)
• Structured limits for older children
*Create screen-free zones (meals, bedrooms).
*Use timers & parental controls.
*Model what you preach- children copy us.
*Replace scrolling with play, sports, reading, art.
Watch for warning signs:
Can’t stop? Angry without device? Falling grades? Seek early help.
A balanced childhood builds resilient adults.
Protect attention. Protect childhood.

@mynameswatik Such an idiotic tweet! 70+ year olds campaigning day in day out for their parties vs Mr Prince waiting for it to be handed it to him in a platter. There was never a contest. It’s the mandate from the ppl of Bihar just accept it gracefully
@gandabherunda Totally agree with you! He wants more jobs for local Kannadigas in Kannada Nadu. Why ask for another “quota” if you’re confident of the skills you possess
What happened with my daughter @SminuJindal is deeply concerning and reflects a larger systemic issue.
A wheelchair is not just mobility, it represents dignity and independence. Airlines must handle assistive devices with utmost care and respect.
It’s time for stronger protocols and better sensitivity training.

@FoolzWizdom Recently watched @NileshShah68’s talk about Indian crab mentality. This showcases exactly that. Don’t have the potential to build your own so start criticizing that someone else built. Remember you’re part of the problem!
Apple is expanding our US commitment to $600 billion over the next four years. And our new American Manufacturing Program will bring even more jobs and advanced manufacturing to the US.
Today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from @CDCgov recommended immunization schedule. Bottom line: it’s common sense and it’s good science. We are now one step closer to realizing @POTUS’s promise to Make America Healthy Again.
"India has arrived" as a rising military heavyweight & the world is recognising it.
In just 4 days, India delivered a calculated & formidable military response to Pakistan. Reasons- precision airstrikes using indegenious or locally modified wpns, missile systems like BrahMos with CEP of 1 mtr using of #ISRO NAVIC , homemade & marked digital maps, intelligent upgrades of old eqpt (AD guns, R 73s etc), efficient AkashTeer AD system developed by #DRDO & #BEL, Indian communication grids etc.. the list is long..
Air Power classes in coming decades will have in syllabus the air ops executed by @IAF_MCC on 10 May 25, where 11 front line Pak airfields were neutralitised with utmost precision in flat 90 mins using indegenious NAVIC & modified weapons.
