Lifestyle & Cosmos
Welcome to Lifestyle & Cosmos—a blog by Sustainaverse for the curious, the conscious, and the creators.
We don’t believe in staying in one lane; instead, we bring together the things that make a modern life meaningful:
-
Sustainable Style: We’re obsessed with fashion that feels good and does good. From the latest in eco-friendly fabrics to the stories behind the labels, we explore how to build a better wardrobe.
-
Living Well: Simple tips for a more intentional life. Whether it’s choosing better products or finding a slower pace, we’re all about making "conscious living" feel easy.
-
Digital Balance: In a world of endless scrolling, we talk about the joy of deep reading and how to stay sane in a digital-first world.
-
The Startup Life: We go behind the scenes of what it truly means to be an entrepreneur.
-
Space & Beyond: Space isn't just for scientists! We look at how space exploration is changing our future on Earth and what it means for how we’ll live tomorrow.
Our vibe: We believe that the way we live today—from the clothes we wear to the tech we use—shapes the world of tomorrow.

India in Space : Looking at India's Major Space Missions on Republic Day 2026
Every Republic Day is a moment to pause and ask what our institutions have built over time. In India’s case, what began as a scientific aspiration in a newly independent nation has evolved into a confident, end-to-end space ecosystem — spanning launch vehicles, planetary missions, scientific observatories, Earth observation, and now, a growing private sector.

Optimism Fuels Spaceflight, But It Isn't Blind
How often do you hear stories of engineers eating peanuts in Mission Control and performing rituals that seem misaligned with the popular notion of what a rocket scientist should behave like?

What Happens in Space Systems Engineering?
What does a systems engineer even do?
It's a highly valid question. We talk about structure, aerodynamics, on-board computers, sensors, communication systems for rockets and satellites and they are rightly taught as THE necessary technical knowledge in Universities.
