Somewhere between lehenga fittings and guest lists, a new kind of calculation has entered bridal prep. Not skincare timelines or workout plans, but injections. Discreetly, and often through word-of-mouth, weight-loss drugs are becoming part of the pre-wedding conversation—less as a medical intervention, more as a deadline hack. Call them Mounjaro brides—a growing tribe of soon-to-be brides flirting with, considering, or actively using weight-loss injections to fast-track results in the run-up to the big day.

Many newbies in the world of Artificial Intelligence presume AI is supposed to make work easier. For Karishma Pramanik, a digital marketer in Delhi, it did. Until it didn't. She recalls when ChatGPT was simply an extra pair of eyes. She would paste an important email on it to catch the occasional typo or smoothen an awkward sentence. Soon, she began to upload PPTs. Then articles to rewrite and even write. Before long, almost every piece of her work was processed by an AI chatbot before it reached another human. The shift was so gradual she barely noticed it. What she did notice, eventually, was harder to explain. “Initially I used AI to catch grammar mistakes and polish my writing,” she says. “But over time, I found myself checking stuff I would never have questioned before. Even when I knew it was right, I wanted AI to confirm it. I was experiencing severe burnout not from writing but from constantly seeking reassurance from a bot. At some point, I stopped trusting my own judgment. I realised I was burned out by answers.” The shape of the crisis is almost philosophical. Humans built machines to do more of the thinking so that we might have more room to be human: to reflect, create, connect, rest.
