The drive on the highway by the Mediterranean in southern Lebanon, near the border with Israel, is scenic and, these days, desolate. Crops lie abandoned and buildings destroyed by Israeli air strikes, too many to count, are in ruins.Near the town of Naqoura, a Lebanese military checkpoint, painted in the white-and-red colours of the national flag, is the last visible sign of the state’s presence.

Plans go awry. Even decisions that seem obvious at first can become unclear in the blink of an eye. On Janmashtami 2026, Lord Krishna in…
The island of Okinawa, at the southern end of Japan, has historically been known for longevity; once called the land of immortals, it stands as one of the most concentrated areas of people living past 100 years old in the world, with their minds sharp and their friendships intact.This isn’t because of a supplement or a secret diet plan.
