Freedom, As I Know It
Harinath Poet EI Outlook Editor, Linkedin Profile, Blog If freedom arrived tomorrow, what would I do? Honestly, I am not sure I would do anything different. I think I am already living the kind of freedom I once imagined for myself. I walk. I trek. I cycle. Sometimes I simply head out without a destination. I meet people and listen to their stories - the wonderful, complicated, funny, sometimes heartbreaking stories that remind me how differently each of us experiences life.

A Summer SOS: Is Mumbai Becoming Too Hot?
Siddhant Desai 13 years, Grade 9 Every year, Mumbai's summers seem hotter than the last. As a teenager, I can clearly feel the difference. The heat and humidity have become so intense that people eagerly wait for the monsoon to bring relief. Even a short bus ride without air conditioning can leave someone exhausted and drenched in sweat. Playing outdoors in the afternoon has become difficult, and school sports and Physical Education classes are often affected. I have seen fri
