Spiritual music within the Brahma Kumaris organization functions as a tool for inner development and quality-of-life improvement, awakening consciousness and enhancing well-being at mental, emotional, and spiritual levels. The music is described not merely as sound but as a means to foster personal growth, mental peace, and moral values.

Mamang Dai's literary work 'The Legends of Pensam' navigates the space between tradition and modernity in indigenous Adi communities of Arunachal Pradesh, Northeast India. Rather than choosing between Western historiography and indigenous orality, the narrator operates in a state of Narrative Double Consciousness. Dai employs three tactics to re-script indigenous memory: language oscillation, narrative double-consciousness, and temporal hybridity. Her work moves between the sincerity of ancestors and the broken reality of a globalized world, differing from postmodern irony and modernist totalization. Through recurring natural imagery, she captures the spiritual connection between land and people, highlighting storytelling's role in preserving culture amid changing times.

A 27-year-old man with no prior psychiatric history developed escalating nitrous oxide use after his cousin's suicide, driven by compulsive urges despite worsening psychiatric symptoms. With his wedding two weeks away, rapid treatment combined ketamine infusion, dextromethorphan-bupropion (Auvelity), and naltrexone for craving. At follow-up, he reported abstinence from nitrous oxide, reduced irritability, and symptom improvement. The case illustrates how NMDA receptor antagonists like ketamine and nitrous oxide overlap in their effects, suggesting that clinically supervised interventions can replace maladaptive self-medication with nitrous oxide.
