One of the most awaited films in 2026 is the epic Ramayana, by director Nitesh Tiwari. Recently, spiritual leader Sadhguru sat with the producer of the movie, Namit Malhotra, discussing the film and the huge responsibility bestowed upon them in producing such a story.

Namit explained this journey to Sadhguru and asked him why he was chosen for such an important project: "I lead a life of reasonable success. I mean, starting alone with an Apple computer, then going on to become the world's biggest visual effects company. I think that 30 years of my career prepared me to make Ramayan, because I don't think a 20-year-old me would have done justice to it. Why do you think that has happened?

To that, Sadhguru said, "Don't try to look for mystical reasons for simple realities that should have happened a long time ago. We have been so brainwashed and hypnotized that in these 80 years we have not produced a movie of some substance around Ram, Shiva, Krishna." "Those who did make those films, I found them very rudimentary. But still, those things had such a massive impact. When Mahabharat was going on on the television, the streets of India would be empty. No people on the street – that was the grip it had on the audience. That is the level of aspiration that is there, but we have left them unfulfilled." Sadhguru said the situation in the world is grim and the "younger generation needs to be shown what the Ramayana truly is." "The younger generation needs to be shown what the Ramayana truly is. Because he fought because he felt some injustice was being done, not because he was battle hungry. He repented killing his own enemies. Today, we are more empowered than before, we aren't using bows and arrows. Our fight will finish humanity and Ramayan is in many ways a representation of what is at the core of us as human beings," said Sadhguru

In 2025, with the emphasis on sincerity, support, and self-awareness, generation Z (born around 1997 to 2012) is redefining dating. Rather than mindless swiping through dating apps, they seek meaningful relationships based on shared narratives instead of superficial interests. This transition into meaningful relationships has significant implications for students and in particular, students who are about to start their careers. 

Why is Gen Z Dating Different?

According to recent studies, Gen Z believes in emotional honesty, mental well-being, and reciprocity in relationships. As reported by Bumble in its 2025 global report survey of more than 40,000 young adults, this generation is fond of micro-mances, small, considerate gestures such as sharing songs or inside jokes, that create authentic relationships instead of the dramatic romances of their parents.

Furthermore, Gen Z is more accepting of alternative relationship forms, focusing on agreeing on values and identity, including by supporting queer and non-traditional relationships. They usually value their mental state and emotional safety, as they understand that healthy relationships enhance individual stability.

What Does This Have to Do with the Careers of Students?

In the case of college and university students, supportive and healthy relationships have the potential to make them more focused, confident, and resilient to achieve academic and professional achievements. Once the students form networks founded on honesty and self-understanding, they are less likely to be distracted and emotionally disturbed and can have more definite career objectives.

Furthermore, the communication and empathy focus of the dating culture within Gen Z is easily applied in the workplace where teamwork and emotional intelligence are valued. By learning how to maneuver relationships wisely, students can acquire interpersonal skills that employers appreciate very much.

On the flip side, the stress and anxiety associated with occasional experiences of situational relationships aka “situationship” or uncertain dating can occur due to experiences of this type, which are predominant in this generation, potentially impacting studies or work. Thus it becomes very important to be conscious of these struggles and attain balance. 

Balancing the career and connection 

Although Gen Z will have the tendency to stress much on their personal growth and career building and establishing long-term relationships, they are also aware that emotional support systems can be beneficial to their professional growth. A relationship of mutual respect and care may provide encouragement, life balance, and motivation during stressful times such as exams and job hunting.

Practical Tips for Students

• Focus on Communication: The creation of free and frank conversations about relationships can decrease misunderstandings and enhance emotional dependability.
• Cultivate Mental Health: Include healthy dating practices that support mental health, including setting boundaries and using support when necessary.
• Learn to Empathize: Apply personal relationship experiences to grow teamwork and leadership competencies applicable to career.
• Balance Togetherness with Personal Goals: Foster relationships that promote self-growth as well as the collective goals.

The dating life of Gen Z in 2025 is not only about love but also about the increasing maturity regarding self-awareness and backing. This translates to relationships that not only bring happiness but also build career readiness and personal resilience to students. Through sincerity and emotional intelligence in dating, Gen Z is setting the stage to an even-handed, complete future that is both personal and professional.

Taylor Swift's tunes at Duke University are labeled no longer just for play lists and concert stages but now in class. A new course titled Writing 101.46: Taylor's Version makes pop icon Taylor Swift's discography an acceptable topic of study.

The course, taught and cultivated by Lisa Andres, employs Swift's "Eras" as a model of critical analysis, cultural critique, and narrative criticism. Stuart Hall's theory of encoding and decoding is employed to teach students via which mass media messages are regarded as being constructed, interpreted, and re-formulated by viewers. Swift's discs and evolving public image are rich soil upon which this exercise can be conducted.

"Taylor Swift provides a unique case study of artistry, media, and fandom interfacing with power. Through her music, students can read how cultural meaning is produced, disseminated, and disputed," Andres said.

Assignments are not the usual essays. Students do weekly lyrical deep-dives, Swift's narrative strategies deconstruction, and media narratives analysis. To put the icing on the cake, they create podcast-like projects that balance scholarly discipline and creative flair.

Swift's life—roots in country to pop stratosphere global dominion—provides varied material for analysis. Her struggles over music ownership, rerecorded albums, and image management fit into larger arguments around gender, power, and authorship in popular culture.

The class also takes advantage of Swift's immense cultural footprint.The classroom offers a venue to investigate fandom as a cultural force, as her fans—the "Swifties"—set online trends, ticketing sites, and even political discourse.

"It's not just about Taylor Swift—it's about learning how stories, whether in music or media, shape our lives," explained one student.The student response has been enthusiastic, with students describing the course as a refreshing break from conventional course work. 

By turning chart-topping anthems into texts for critique, Duke is a part of a growing roster of schools—from Stanford to NYU—that are introducing Swift's work into the academy. Writing 101.46: Taylor's Version points to how the boundaries between pop culture and scholarship remain erased.
