Science of Living vs Happiness Curriculum: What's really changed in Delhi schools?
Delhi's government schools are witnessing a significant shift in their approach to student emotional well-being and life skills education. The much-talked-about Happiness Curriculum is making way for the Science of Living -- a more comprehensive framework that educators are calling a timely upgrade for the digital transition from the Happiness Curriculum to the Science of Living represents more than just a name change. According to Dr. Alka Kapur, Principal of Modern Public School, Shalimar Bagh, the Science of Living is "a more holistic upgrade to the Happiness Curriculum". She emphasises that this new approach addresses the real challenges students face today, particularly in our hyper-digital isn't about just making the students feel happy for a while, but about equipping them with life tools for emotional equilibrium, better interpersonal skills, and increased concentration," explains Dr. CURRICULUM FROM AUGUST From August, classrooms in Delhi's government schools will start to look and feel different. Along with regular subjects like maths and grammar, students will now learn how to breathe deeply, take care of older people, and spend less time on Delhi government announced this new change on June 5, 2025, as part of a new programme called the Science of Living. It brings a fresh way of teaching that focuses not just on studies, but also on helping students become more balanced and programme is based on ancient Indian ideas like panch kosha (which talks about five parts of a person – body, mind, energy, wisdom, and joy) and panch tantra stories. It also includes important life skills that students need in today's will take part in yoga, meditation, and mindfulness exercises. They will also learn how to handle their emotions, understand right and wrong, and show care for others. The aim is to help students grow into calm, kind, and thoughtful individuals, ready to face life with are a few key differences in the two curricula:Happiness curriculum: Primarily centred on creating moments of joy and basic emotional awarenessScience of Living: Addresses specific modern challenges like screen dependency, emotional fatigue, and heightened stress levelsSanamdeep Chadha, Education Reformist and Director of Genesis Global School, Noida, highlights a crucial distinction: "Compared to the Happiness Curriculum, it offers deeper structure and greater potential for lasting internalisation of values".SCIENCE OF LIVING CURRICULUMThe Science of Living curriculum incorporates:Digital detox practicesMindfulness and meditation techniquesValue-driven discussionsEmotional regulation strategiesMind-body connection through yogic practicesThe new approach promises a few tangible benefits:Reduced student anxiety through meditation and yoga practicesImproved classroom focus via digital detox and mindfulnessBetter interpersonal relationships through emotional regulationEnhanced academic performance as a natural outcome of improved mental DIGITAL AGE CHALLENGESOne of the most significant upgrades is the new curriculum's focus on digital wellness. The Science of Living specifically tackles issues that weren't as prevalent when the Happiness Curriculum was introduced, such as:advertisementScreen dependency managementDigital detox practices that provide mental reset and reduce stressImproved focus through reduced constant screen exposure"Digital detox, yoga, and meditation offer students the mental clarity and emotional balance they often lack in a hyper-digital world," notes Dr. the most profound shift is philosophical. Sanamdeep Chadha explains that the Science of Living "shifts focus from achievement to meaning, encouraging students to ask not just how to succeed, but why". This represents a fundamental change in how schools approach student new curriculum integrates essential human values - empathy, compassion, and responsibility - into everyday learning, creating what educators describe as more "life-relevant education".PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATIONBoth educators emphasise that implementing the practices under the Science of Living curriculum doesn't require overhauling the academic schedule. Instead, they suggest:Starting the day with mindful breathing exercisesIncorporating reflection circles into daily routinesWeaving value-based conversations into regular classroom discussionsUsing existing co-scholastic activities as platforms for emotional learningBut proper implementation needs the right faculty and adequate teacher training."Empowering teachers is key," states Chadha. "When educators are equipped with the mindset and tools to model emotional awareness, even small shifts can transform school culture".advertisementCUSTOMISATION FOR DIVERSE NEEDSPrivate schools are finding ways to adapt the Science of Living framework while maintaining its core philosophy. Dr Kapur suggests that schools can "customise the framework by blending it with their existing life skills programmes, creating modules that reflect the unique challenges their students face".This curriculum shift reflects a broader understanding of education's role in the 21st century."Schools are not just centres of academic growth -- they're foundations for shaping emotionally resilient and socially responsible individuals," says Samandeep Science of Living curriculum acknowledges that in today's world, knowledge alone isn't sufficient. Students need to manage stress, adapt to change, collaborate with empathy, and make ethical choices - skills that are best nurtured within the school transition from Happiness Curriculum to Science of Living represents a maturation in how we approach student well-being. It moves beyond creating temporary happiness to building lasting resilience, from surface-level contentment to deep-rooted life schools continue to implement this new framework, the focus remains clear: preparing students not just for academic success, but for a meaningful, balanced, and emotionally intelligent life in an increasingly complex early feedback from educators suggests that this evolution is both necessary and timely -- a recognition that true education must nurture the whole human being, not just the Watch

3 OnlyFans creators weigh in on Bonnie Blue's shock, ‘permanent' OF ban
By now, you'll have surely heard of Bonnie Blue: a woman who is no stranger to online infamy. The 26-year-old OnlyFans creator is notorious for her extreme sex stunts, including breaking the world record for sleeping with 1,000 men in a day. She's also toured university freshers weeks in the UK and visited Cancun, a popular spring break destination for US students, offering 'barely legal' men (aged at least 18) the opportunity to sleep with her in exchange for their consent to be filmed and appear in her OF content. Her stunts have gained her a substantial online following — and attracted considerable backlash. Speaking to Cosmopolitan UK earlier this year, Blue pushed back at critics, suggesting that her stunts are a way of educating participants about sex. 'If I had a child, I'd be sending them to one of these events,' she said. 'I provide a safe, judgement-free environment with security-scanned ID and a breathalyser test. And [participants] are doing something good for society by putting an educational video out there. What part of that is dangerous?' Now, the platform on which she's made her name (and big bucks — specifically, an eye-watering $2.1 million per month) has thrown a spanner in her controversial success: OnlyFans has banned Bonnie Blue. Earlier this month, Blue promised to top her 1,000 men in a day feat: announcing a stunt she called the 'Bonnie Blue petting zoo' which would allow members of the public to touch her, or have intercourse with her, while she was tied up in a glass box. The challenge was due to take place tomorrow (15 June), but has since been cancelled due to online outrage. And this time, the controversy has caught the attention of OnlyFans, who've shut down Blue's account. When we reached out for comment, an OnlyFans spokesperson told Cosmopolitan UK: 'Extreme 'challenge' content is not available on OnlyFans and is not permitted under our Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service. Any breach of our Terms of Service results in content or account deactivation.' According to The Metro, a contact at the platform also confirmed that the ban was 'permanent'. Cosmopolitan UK can confirm that when attempting to access Bonnie Blue's two OnlyFans accounts ( and both pages have been taken down. Blue has not yet made any statement on social media or to the press, but she has updated the link in her Instagram bio so that it directs to her Fansly account, where she began posting on 11 June. Fansly is an alternative, subscription-based platform to OnlyFans, and her page currently stands at 5.5k followers, which is a huge dip from the 300,000 OnlyFans followers she had earlier in 2025 – suggesting her income has taken a major hit. Blue — alongside the OnlyFans creator Lily Philips, who embarked on her own challenge to sleep with 100 men in a day — has been the subject of plenty of column inches, which paint her online presence as a cause, rather than a symptom, of misogyny and sexism. However, while there is plenty of spirited online discourse about Blue from those outside the sex industry, what do other online sex workers think? So far, Blue has been criticised by Sophie Rain, the creator of the popular OnlyFans collective Bop House, who said: 'It's no longer women empowerment. It's shock value, and she's making a joke out of all of us.' Regardless of individuals' personal feelings around Blue, the ban has taken place amid a time of uncertainty for OnlyFans creators. It was revealed in late May that the platform's owner, Fenix International, was in talks to be sold for $8 billion (£5.9 billion) to a consortium headed up by US investment firm Forest Road Company. Whenever a company is set to change hands, it raises questions about its future direction. However, with the increasing censorship of online pornography — which, in recent years, has seen the likes of Pornhub exit France and be blocked in multiple US states due to age verification controversies — the stakes could be even higher for OnlyFans NSFW content creators as they navigate uncertain territory. Now, speaking exclusively to Cosmopolitan UK, three OnlyFans creators and online sex workers weigh in with their opinions about the news of Blue's permanent ban. 'Anytime a performer loses access to their main source of income and primary platform, it's a sad day. Especially in 2025, when our payment processors and platforms are threatened by incoming censorship laws disguised as 'adult verification'. Bonnie is privileged that she is in an income bracket where she has support in place to protect herself in case of removal from one of her platforms. She also has the ability to use her network and brand name to spread the word that she was banned. Most models, who often get banned or reprimanded for much less, do not have those options. This means they're less likely to pivot easily via funnelling fans to new platforms or regaining account access due to press or protest. I think Bonnie [has made] the OnlyFans platform enough money that the choice to ban her is more about the OF brand image than anything else. I'm sure the press she's been acquiring for her 'extreme' sexual stunts is counterintuitive to the brand OnlyFans has been trying to reign in the past couple of years. The platform has been investing heavily into their safe-for-work avenues, like OFTV, so I'm guessing that factors into their decision making. Especially if the company plans on selling, taking on investors, or simply dealing with payment processors and banks.' 'Every respectable platform takes consent, privacy, and age verification very seriously. As OnlyFans creators we are all at risk if we violate their rules, and I suspect there were many rules violated with her type of content. I think her publicity stunts have probably put pressure onto OnlyFans and other similar platforms to enforce their rules more. Honestly as an older woman and mum, who had a full career before my success on OnlyFans, I feel bad for [Bonnie Blue]. Clearly I believe in a woman having the power to do what she wants — and in no way am shaming her, or anyone — but I don't see this ending well for her or the others that are competing to outdo each other with these extremes.' 'I'm not surprised [Bonnie Blue] has been banned; I could see it from a mile off. In my opinion, what she does is escorting ['escort' and 'escorting' are restricted words on OnlyFans, and the platform's terms of service discourage any mention of creators and fans meeting in person]. She's agreeing to meet these men to have intercourse and they are paying in consent to post on OnlyFans. OnlyFans is trying to sell their platform right now. If she's the poster girl for OnlyFans, it makes sense for her to be banned: she doesn't have much backing from the general public, except for sadistic men who have pent-up rage against women. It sucks because it's likely that any woman who has followed in her suit will get banned. You don't want people to lose their income, all of these girls have worked hard to get where they are. Bonnie has done some things that will change her for the rest of her life and it's unfortunate that she's losing what makes her thrive and survive. Bonnie, though, has taken rage baiting to the extreme, saying things like 'you need to expect [men are] going to go elsewhere if you aren't sleeping with them'. These are the repercussions if you're going to push boundaries like these in a society where women are so pushed down behind the scenes.' Cosmopolitan UK has reached out to Bonnie Blue for comment. Megan Wallace (they/them) is Cosmopolitan UK's Former Sex and Relationships Editor covering sexual pleasure, sex toys, LGBTQIA+ identity, dating and romance. They have covered sexuality and relationships for over five years and are the founder of the PULP zine, which publishes essays on culture and sex.

Her latest stunts have taken things too far. She's crossed a line and OnlyFans had no choice but to act,' and 'The ban is permanent.'

Her ban also forced her to cancel her next controversial 'petting zoo' stunt. The plan reportedly involved her being nude and restrained inside a transparent box, where attendees would be allowed to interact with her freely. The adult star previously hosted a college-themed challenge where male students competed to give her the 'best orgasm,' with the winner promised paid tuition. She marketed this as performance art or sexual empowerment. ALSO READ| Bonnie Blue arrested?

There's no way this turns out well.' Despite pulling the shock event, Bonnie has since had her Only Fans account deactivated with a source telling OK Magazine she has 'taken things way too far.'

Texas A&M star OF selected 10th overall in latest USA TODAY 2025 MLB mock draft
Texas A&M star OF selected 10th overall in latest USA TODAY 2025 MLB mock draft Texas A&M's 2025 baseball season fell short of its lofty preseason expectations, finishing 30-26 with just 11 wins in SEC play and missing the NCAA Tournament for the first time since the 2006 season. This led to Texas A&M Athletic Director Trev Alberts deciding to keep head coach Michael Earley, which split the fan base 50/50. However, Earley doesn't deserve all the blame for what went down last season. However, despite his midseason struggles at the plate, junior outfielder Jace LaViolette sealed his legendary status in College Station after playing with a broken hand against LSU in the SEC Tournament, producing two of the Aggies' three runs in the 4-3 loss, eliminating A&M's playoff hopes. Still, LaViolette is now Texas A&M's career home run leader and is more than likely departing the program this summer ahead of the 2025 MLB Draft. While returning for a final season is not out of the question, especially to help fix his strikeout issues, it's assumed that LaViolette will forego his collegiate eligibility due to his standing in the latest USA TODAY MLB mock draft, predicted to be selected 10th overall by the Chicago White Sox. "From 1/1 favorite to who knows, LaViolette's slide stops with the White Sox, whose revamped hitting program could be the panacea for a slugger whose platform junior year fizzled. LaViolette regressed from .305, 29 homers, 1.175 OPS to .257, 18 and 1.003, and his K rate nudged upward, to 25.2." This is not out of the realm of realistic possibility, and would be somewhat comical given that former Texas A&M star outfielder Braden Montgomery is currently a rising star in the White Sox organization. LaViolette's 6'6" frame and elite power are the primary reasons that he won't slide past the Top 10 or 15 in the draft.
