India, Nov. 13 -- In a world where people are growing increasingly disconnected with one another, lack of virtues like kindness and compassion have become one of the leading reasons for the loneliness epidemic of the modern world. But as the saying 'modern problem requires modern solution' goes, this issue too is met with a digital solution. Certain apps today are designed to nudge kindness, build emotional resilience, and foster genuine connection through small acts toward oneself and others. Kindness refers to the quality of being friendly, considerate, and generous towards oneself and others. Acts of kindness can physically reshape the brain by fostering new neural connections and activating specific regions related to reward, social bonding, and emotional regulation. According to Abhinav Kumar, an app developer, apps make it easier for people to remember, act, and share kindness in everyday life. "It could remind us to check on someone, send a thank-you note, or highlight people nearby who might need help... These small digital nudges can create a powerful butterfly effect, spreading positivity far beyond one screen," he adds. Vikram Shastry, COO of Black Lotus, an app promoting kindness and mindfulness, says, "Kindness has a significant impact on the self as well as society due to its ripple effect. We have observed this based on 4 million kindness acts being logged in on our app. The app encourages you to start your day with meditation, perform simple acts of kindness such as writing a loving message to your loved ones... The goal isn't to trap users in another endless feed, but to help them reconnect with themselves." Users report how they amply learnings from the app in real life. One such user, Himanshu Kumar, recounts how he offered his middle berth on a train to a woman who had trouble climbing the upper berth. "Deep inside, I felt light and content", he expresses. Another user, Riya Bisht, shares,"The app's reminders pushed me to actually call old friends. That small nudge helped me rebuild a circle of connection I didn't know I'd lost."...
