dentity is a multifaceted construct that encom-
I passes the unique characteristics, beliefs, and
experiences defining an individual. It is
shaped by various factors, both intrinsic
and extrinsic, and evolves over time.
PERSONAL
ATTRIBUTES:
Core aspects like personality
traits, physical appearance, and
inherent talents form the founda-
tion of one's identity. These intrin-
sic qualities influence how individ-
uals perceive themselves and interact
with the world.
CULTURAL AND SOCIAL INFLUENCES:
Cultural background, traditions, and societal norms
significantly impact identity. The community and

social groups one belongs to contribute to the devel-
opment of values, beliefs, and behaviours.
LIFE EXPERIENCES:
Personal experiences, including edu-
cation, career, and relationships,
play a crucial role in shaping
identity. These experiences pro-
vide individuals with unique
perspectives and growth oppor-
tunities.
PSYCHOLOGICAL
FACTORS:
Self-concept, self-esteem, and mental
health are critical components. How indi-
viduals view themselves and their sense of worth
directly affect their identity and behaviour.
FLUIDITY OF IDENTITY:
Identity is not static; it evolves with new experi-
ences and changing circumstances. This fluidity
allows for personal growth and adaptation over time.
In essence, identity is a complex interplay of per-
sonal, social, and psychological elements.
Understanding this dynamic nature helps in appre-
ciating the diversity and richness of human experi-
ence, fostering empathy and connection among indi-
viduals.

'DOOMSDAY GLACIER':
THWAITES GLACIER'S
ALARMING DESTABILISATION
he Thwaites Glacier in West
'Doomsday Glacier,' poses
a significant threat due to its
potential collapse, which could
result in catastrophic sea-level
rise. Recent satellite imagery
reveals the rapid destabilisation of
this glacier, which is comparable in
size to the state of Florida, characterised by
extensive fissures. A recent study indicates that seawater
intrusions beneath the glacier, occurring at tidal frequencies,
are accelerating its melt rate beyond previous estimates. This
alarming revelation underscores the urgency of under-
standing and addressing the factors contributing to the desta-
bilisation of the Thwaites Glacier to mitigate the risks of
accelerated sea-level rise.
ZIMBABWE INTRODUCES

CURRENCY
imbabwe has unveiled ZiG, the

replace the Zimbabwe
dollar as of April. ZiG, short
for Zimbabwe Gold, is sup-
ported by the nation's gold

le currency instability and
hyperinflation. This introduc-
tion marks Zimbabwe's sixth
currency since the Zimbabwe dol-
lar's collapse in 2009, during a period of hyperinflation
exceeding 5 billion percent. The adoption of ZiG signifies
Zimbabwe's ongoing efforts to stabilise its economy and
restore confidence in its monetary system, leveraging its
substantial gold reserves to provide a more reliable and sus-
tainable currency option for its citizens and investors alike.
HEALTH RISKS OF OVER-
BOILING MILK TEA
ver-boiling milk tea can
O have adverse health
effects due to sev-
eral reasons. Firstly, it may
alter the pH of the tea,
increasing acidity and
potentially leading to symp-
toms such as heartburn or
stomach discomfort.
Moreover, prolonged boiling
can degrade certain nutrients in milk,
such as vitamins B12 and C. Additionally, overheating can
result in the formation of compounds like acrylamide,
especially when carbohydrates are present. Acrylamide is
considered a potential carcinogen, posing health risks
when consumed in high amounts.

NURTURING TEEN MINDS:
Planting SEEDS for Better Mental Health
Rishika Kukrety
een mental health is a critical issue today. With
T rising stress levels and various pressures, many
teens struggle to maintain their mental well-
being. One promising solution is using plant SEEDS,
which stands for Social support, Exercise, Education,
Diet, and Sleep. By focusing on these five areas, teens
can improve their mental health in simple yet effective
ways.
Social Support: Strength in Numbers
Having strong social support is crucial for teens. Friends,
family, and community members can provide the encour-
agement and understanding that teens need. Positive
relationships help teens feel connected and valued,
which can reduce feelings of loneliness and anxiety.
Encouraging teens to build and maintain healthy rela-
tionships can significantly boost their mental health.
Exercise: Moving For the Mind
Regular physical activity is another key element of the
SEEDS approach. Exercise releases endorphins, which
are chemicals in the brain that act as natural mood lifters.
It also reduces stress and anxiety. Teens should aim for
at least 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the
week. This can include sports, dancing, walking, or any

yurveda, the ancient Indian system of
medicine, offers a range of natural reme-
dies to help stay cool and hydrated dur-
ing the hot summer months. Here are five refresh-
ing Ayurvedic coolers that can provide relief from
the heat:
AAM PANNA:
Made from raw mangoes, Aam Panna is a tangy
and sweet drink that helps prevent heat strokes.
It is rich in vitamins and electrolytes, replenish-
ing the body and cooling it down.
JALJEERA:
Atraditional spiced beverage, Jaljeera
combines cumin, mint, lemon,
and black salt. This drink aids
digestion, prevents dehydra-
tion, and has a cooling effect
on the body.
COCONUT WATER:
Naturally hydrating, coconut
water is packed with essen-
tial electrolytes like potassium
and magnesium. It not only
quenches thirst but also helps main-
tain fluid balance and keeps the body cool.
MINT LASSI:
This yogurt-based drink blended with fresh
activity they enjoy.
Education: Knowledge is Power
Education about mental health is essential. When teens
understand more about how their minds and bodies
work, they can better manage their emotions and stress.
Schools and parents can play a big role in providing
information about mental health, coping strategies, and
where to seek help when needed.

mint leaves is both refreshing and nutri-
tious. Mint has cooling properties,
while yogurt aids digestion and
boosts immunity.
SATTU SHARBAT:
Made from roasted gram
flour, Sattu Sharbat is a pro-
tein-rich drink that provides
instant energy and cools the
body. It is especially popular
in northern India during the sum-
mer.
Incorporating these Ayurvedic cool-
ers into your daily routine can help you stay
cool, hydrated, and healthy throughout the sum-
mer. These natural remedies offer a delicious way
to combat the heat while benefiting from their
nutritional properties.
Diet: Fuel for Thought
A healthy diet is not just good for the body; it's also
beneficial for the mind. Eating a balanced diet with
plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean pro-
teins can improve mood and energy levels. Teens should
also stay hydrated and limit their intake of sugary snacks
and drinks, which can lead to mood swings and ener-
gy crashes.
Sleep: Rest for Resilience
Adequate sleep is vital for mental health. Most teens
need about 8-10 hours of sleep each night. Good sleep
hygiene includes having a regular bedtime, creating a
relaxing bedtime routine, and limiting screen time before
bed. Quality sleep helps teens feel more focused, calm,
and ready to face the day.
A Path Forward
Implementing the SEEDS approach can help teens build
a strong foundation for mental health. By focusing on
social support, exercise, education, diet, and sleep, teens
can develop healthy habits that will benefit them through-
out their lives. Encouraging teens to take small, man-
ageable steps in each of these areas can lead to signif-
icant improvements in their overall well-being.
