"Jealousy is all the fun you think they had." — Erica Jong Jealousy is an emotion that can feel all-consuming, often triggered by comparisons and a fear of losing what we hold dear. But what if the root of this emotion lies not in what we lack, but in how we perceive what others have? In this blog, we will explore the science behind jealousy and unhappiness, and more importantly, we’ll examine research-backed strategies to cultivate more happiness in our lives. Understanding Jealousy: A Natural Yet Harmful Emotion Jealousy is a complex emotion, one that often arises when we perceive a threat to our resources, relationships, or status. From an evolutionary standpoint, jealousy served as an adaptive mechanism to protect what was valuable—whether it was securing a mate or preserving social bonds (Harris, 2009). However, in the modern world, where material and emotional comparisons are amplified by social media, jealousy can quickly spira

Civil infrastructure ranges from bridges and roads to tunnels and buildings, forming the very core of our daily lives. Safety, longevity, and sustainability related to such structures remain the primal concern of civil engineers. Traditional maintenance practices have been either reactive after failure or scheduled on the basis of a fixed timeline, neither of which can effectively avoid unexpected failures. However, predictive maintenance, powered by AI, is redefining how infrastructure is monitored, maintained, and repaired. Using AI's data-driven insights, engineers can identify well in advance when repairs are necessary, preventing catastrophic failures and prolonging infrastructure lifespans. What is Predictive Maintenance? Predictive maintenance is the process of monitoring a structure's condition using data and advanced analytics to estimate when the next maintenance is due. This proactive approach detects issu

  Nestled amidst the majestic Himalayas, Nepal faces a dual challenge: climate change and energy security. As a developing nation, Nepal recognizes the urgency of transitioning to sustainable energy sources. Enter   green hydrogen , a clean and versatile energy carrier produced through water electrolysis using renewable energy. In this blog, we explore Nepal’s journey with green hydrogen, highlighting the pivotal role played by   Dr. Biraj Singh Thapa   and the   Green Hydrogen Lab   at   Kathmandu University . The Himalayan Vulnerability The Himalayas, often referred to as the “Third Pole,” are highly vulnerable to global climate change. Melting glaciers and snow feed Nepal’s major rivers, sustaining millions of lives downstream. However, climate change threatens this delicate balance. Nepal’s Second National Communication to the UNFCCC (2014) identifies sectors such as energy, agriculture, water resources, forestry, biodiversity, and health as most at risk. Green Hydrogen’s Promise R
