New research reveals that walking at 3 mph on a steep incline burns up to 70% more calories than running at the same speed on flat ground.

Skip the joint-pounding stress of flat-ground sprints. Studies show that maintaining a steady 3 mph pace on a 16–18% incline actually outperforms traditional running in several key ways. The uphill effort recruits far more muscle fibers—especially in the glutes, hamstrings, quads, and core—as your body fights gravity with every step. This constant resistance dramatically raises the metabolic demand, pushing energy expenditure higher without the repetitive impact of jogging.

Beyond the impressive calorie burn, incline walking delivers a superior cardiovascular workout. Your heart has to pump harder to supply oxygen to working muscles under increased gravitational load, which builds aerobic fitness more effectively than level walking. Interestingly, this approach also allows your body to tap into a higher percentage of fat as fuel compared to high-intensity flat running, all while being much gentler on knees, ankles, and hips.

For anyone looking to maximize fat loss, boost endurance, and get better results with less wear and tear on the body, trading sprints for steep incline walking might be the smartest upgrade you can make in the gym.

Is it time for PMAIY - PM AI Yojana?

AI job losses are inevitable. IT&ES, BPO, Banking etc may be the first to lay off thousands in the coming months and years.

Good thing is India will not be the first to face this. India will have a lag in layoffs due to the low cost advantage. Yet, the layoffs will hit India one day sooner than later.

But what we need to understand is the job losses and economic issues will be temporary. Within some years, AI will be actually creating jobs. This is what many are missing while they raise the AI driven job loss concern.

And anyone and everyone with a brain, able to learn and adapt, will soon be employed using AI. And they will be making much more than what they could have done before.

IMO, India is well poised for this upheaval with a web and online literate young population. And a civilizational advantage when it comes to logic and questioning (prompting). I'm not at all worried.

But the issue is, the temporary upheaval can cause a lot of social and political issues. Especially, when it is used by some adversaries to instigate the public. This must be managed by the state somehow strategically.

I think it may be time GoI starts visibly doing some meetings to address the "AI future challenge" for reassurance, and thinks about creating some "Pradhan Mantri AI re-skilling and up-skilling yojana."

A yojana where many Indians from certain jobs which can be replaced by AI are able to use some govt given credits to up-skill / re-skill in AI. It may even give a fillip to the economy during a globally gloomy period.

Scientists have created one of the most detailed 3D reconstructions of a human cell (eukaryotic cell) ever produced.

This groundbreaking model, often termed a "Cellular Landscape Cross-Section Through a Eukaryotic Cell," combines data from X-ray tomography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and cryo-electron microscopy to map molecular structures in extreme detail.

I launched something today.

For the last several months I have been thinking about a problem I kept running into with clients across India, the GCC, and Africa.

The signals that matter most - the ones that will reshape their workforce, their skills requirements, their org structures - are arriving fast. But the publications covering them are either too slow, too US-centric, or too generic to be useful.

A CHRO in Riyadh and a CLO in Mumbai are navigating the same AI disruption as their counterparts in New York. But the context, the constraints, and the consequences are completely different. Nobody was writing for them specifically.

So I built https://t.co/r1MONbidO3.

It is a free weekly intelligence publication. Every issue scans the global signal landscape and interprets it through a lens that actually fits - six sectors, three regions, one honest reading of what is coming.

Issue 001 is live today.

Saw this 500 yr old Italian map of India (referred as "Indostan") in a Florence museum from the Medici collections.
What struck me wasn’t the accuracy, but the mindset behind it.
It reflects a time when India was seen as something to understand and trade with, not something to rule.
It’s shown as a civilisation made up of many kingdoms, rivers, and cultures. Look harder and you can find mentions of Gujarat, Orissa, Deccan, Bengal, Malabar. Remember, this is a 500yr old map.
No borders. No rulers. No “ownership”.
Just geography, trade, and prosperity.
Maps tell you how the world sees you.
This one reminds you that before colonisation, India was already seen as vast, wealthy, and complex.
It also reminds us how much our country hasn't changed.
History often begins earlier than we are taught.
And, it repeats itself.
