Activ8Me Launches its unique nutritional foods platform

A little while ago, I updated you all on an event I attended regarding spreading awareness about Millets. Health food has gained a lot of traction off late but witnessing people in action taking initiatives is a great feeling. Continuing with the remain healthy spirit, I recently got acquainted with the team at Activ8Me who have launched an online and offline campaign to promote healthy foods.


Activ8Me is a unique platform which has been developed to serve niche health and nutrition based foods and drinks across India. I specifically liked their offline approach. Herein they plan to serve people through healthy vending machines. At the launch, Mandira Bedi unveiled the machine which looks quite impressive. These machines can be placed in areas like gyms, offices, entertainment complexes etc.

Activ8Me's machine has a wide variety of hand-picked, nutritionally beneficial snacking and drinking items. These are not only fulfilling to the hungering stomach but also a bliss for your soul. The vending machine can easily take currency notes, plastic cards and top - up cards.

The guests at the launch included actress and model, Mandira Bedi who spoke about the need to stay healthy and fit. Vinay Sangwan is a Kettle Bell professional who shared his experiences on a healthy lifestyle. Himanshu Malhotra is a famous actor and Dr. Vaibhav Garg, a certified nutritionist also shared insights on eating the right food. Snacking is something which incorporates the maximum junk food we eat. If we opt for healthy snacks, it is not only nutritionally advantageous but also gives us the feeling of being full.

The only thing I felt missing from the product line up was tea and to some extent, millets. Let's hope as they expand their product line, Activ8Me will get more quality brands on board including tea ones.
it is creating a revolution of sorts by passionately bringing health food alternatives under one umbrella.

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...

Sex without intimacy: A Spill the Tea story about modern loneliness

Tara meets someone through a matrimony broker. They quickly decide marriage isn’t on the table, but spend a night together anyway. What follows isn’t regret or drama, but an unsettling emptiness. Over tea and samosas, she tries to understand why physical closeness left her feeling more alone than before. Spill the Tea: When Closeness leaves You Feeling Further away The tea was too sweet. Tara noticed it immediately but didn’t say anything. She sat on the verandah chair, one foot tucked under the other, the plastic creaking every time she shifted. She wore a black cotton top with sleeves pushed to her elbows and denim shorts that left her knees bare to the evening air. She didn’t look uncomfortable. Just slightly unfinished, as if she’d left in a hurry. Between us, a steel plate held two samosas, already cooling. The chutney had begun to darken at the edges. She broke a corner of the samosa. The crust flaked onto her plate. She dipped it into the chutney, carefully. “You know,” she said...

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...
