The Most Powerful Way to Help Someone through Emotional Pain


When Kind Advice Just Doesn't Cut it...

When you can’t look on the bright side, I will sit with you in the dark. – Unknown

I walked in for my monthly massage and immediately sensed something was off.

A layer of desolation hung in the air like an invisible mist, ominous and untouchable, yet so thick I felt as though I could reach out and grab a handful in my fist, like wet cement, oozing out between my fingers.

All You Need To Know About Getting People To Respect You

When it comes to respect, there's a  simple truth that we all must accept – people respect you only if you respect yourself. Self-respect can't be fake,  and neither can it be announced.  Meaning, people will sooner or later see through you if you only act the part without doing the inner work. Neither can you go around telling everyone who crosses your path that you are a self-respecting individual. In fact, people who actually are, never say it. They just live, and let their actions do the talking. That said, sometimes, respect dwindles, because, well, that's just life. 


While we can't always control how we feel, we can control how we act. So, if you want people to respect you, try these tips:

1. Be authentic

Throwback: 10 Unmissable Photos Of Bollywood Celebs Before They Were Famous

We present 10 unmissable photos of our Bollywood celebs before they became famous dating back to when they were merely kids.

Summer Tips: गर्मियों में पैरों के लिए चुनें सही फुटवियर- VIDEO


गर्मियों का मौसम आ गया है। ऐसे में पैरों के स्वास्थ्य के लिए सुरक्षित व स्टाइलिश होने के साथ ही सही फुटवियर (चप्पल, जूते) पहनकर घर से बाहर निकलें। एगॉस (मेन्सवेयर लेदर शू ब्रांड) की चीफ एक्सपीरियंस ऑफिसर कनिका भाटिया और मोटेलो डोमानी (शू ब्रांड) के संस्थापक व डिजाइनर दीवान खुराना ने गर्मियों में पैरों की देखभाल के संबंध में कुछ सुझाव दिए हैं। कनिका ने कहा, “मुलायम चमड़े से बने फुटवियर गर्मियों में पैरों के लिए अनुकूल होते हैं और पैरों से दुर्गंध आने और संक्रमण होने की संभावना कम रहती है। एथेलेटिक सैंडल और लोफर्स सबसे ज्यादा उपयुक्त होते हैं क्योंकि पहनने पर हल्का महसूस होते हैं। खुराना का मानना है कि बात जब पैरों की देखभाल की हो तो गर्मियों में भारी जूते नहीं पहनना चाहिए, इससे हवा का संचरण ठीक से नहीं हो पाता है, ऐसे में लोफर्स ज्यादा अच्छे विकल्प हैं।

Science Says Lasting Relationships Rely on a Key Factor


A helpful hint for finding the one.

By Erin Brodwin

  • A recent study found evidence that a single factor mattered more for a couple's relationship satisfaction than a handful of other considerations, including marriage.
  • That factor was whether couples saw their significant other as their best friend.
  • "Maybe what is really important [in a relationship] is friendship, and to never forget that in the push and pull of daily life," the researcher said.
Dating is tough. Finding someone you'd call your life partner is even tougher.

The Science of Stress, Orgasm and Well being


How the Brain and Orgasm Conspire in Consciousness

To understand the vagina properly is to realise that it is not only coextensive with the female brain, but is also, essentially, part of the female soul.

“The more closely we analyse what we consider ‘sexy,’” philosopher Alain de Botton argued in his meditation on sex, ‘the more clearly we will understand that eroticism is the feeling of excitement we experience at finding another human being who shares our values and our sense of the meaning of existence.’

Here Is How This Often Ignored Thing Can Ruin Your Marriage


A few days before I was to get married, my close friend's mom gave me some advice which stood apart from the usual unwarranted advice I was receiving as a bride to be. She told me- "You might think that what I say is wrong and I am teaching you bad things like keeping secrets from your hubby but trust me in the long run it will only safeguard your interests and that of your relationship. I would always wish that God bestow you with happiness in life but life is unpredictable.

Saying ‘No’ And 5 Other Things You Should Never Feel Guilty About


Saying ‘no’ to someone is perhaps something we all need to work on. But, it is difficult to do so when you constantly feel the pressure to excel at everything, all at the same time. You want your friends to like you, so you never say no to a meet up, no matter how inconvenient it is for you. You need that bonus or promotion, so you cannot say no to your boss, no matter how burned out you may be feeling. Trying to live by impressing others, setting goals that are almost impossible to achieve, is only going to exhaust you. There is absolutely no reason to feel guilty about turning down a few party invitations, or even shutting down an argument that is only agitating your mental well being. Not just the ability to say no, here are a 
few other things you need not feel guilty about… for the sake of your own sanity.

Dealing with the Four Kinds of Fear


This is what the self-help books might be missing

Fear. It shows up in nearly every coaching conversation I have. Sometimes it’s bold and in-your-face and can’t be denied, and sometimes it’s sneaky and disguised as anger or laziness and has to be coaxed out into the light.

Fear fills a lot of pages in self-help books. Everyone’s trying to master it. Some tell you to befriend it, others tell you ignore it, and still others tell you to stare it in the face. Do an image search of fear quotes and you’ll find endless memes about how you can conquer, befriend, embrace, or ignore fear. Or, if you’d rather, you can dance with it, kick it to the curb, or pray it out of existence.

Are We Living in the Age of Empathy?

If you think you’re hearing the word “empathy” everywhere, you’re right. It’s now on the lips of scientists and business leaders, education experts and political activists.

According to new research, it’s a habit we can cultivate to improve the quality of our own lives.

Scientists have established a link between brain damage and religious fundamentalism


A study published in the journal Neuropsychologia has shown that religious fundamentalism is, in part, the result of a functional impairment in a brain region known as the prefrontal cortex. The findings suggest that damage to particular areas of the prefrontal cortex indirectly promotes religious fundamentalism by diminishing cognitive flexibility and openness—a psychology term that describes a personality trait which involves dimensions like curiosity, creativity, and open-mindedness.

Your Ex And 6 Other People You Should Stop Stalking On Social Media



Social media may have started with the noble intention of making it easier for people to connect with each other, but over the years, it has brought out - or maybe created - monsters out of us! Some of us unleash our disappointment and anger and troll our friends and strangers. Some of us put our most private selves out there because we feel unseen and unheard, and then feel worse because we are still unseen and unheard, but now by thousands of people who follow us! Despite knowing the evils of social media, and how addictive it can be, many of us end up wasting hours mindlessly scrolling through our newsfeeds. And some us STALK. It's become so easy to witness someone else's life without their knowledge, thanks to social media. Yes, sure you can say that when someone posts something online they know it's public. But still, there is something perversely voyeuristic spending your leisure time looking at other people's pictures and comments without their knowledge. But, that's not the point here. The point is that by stalking certain people, you are actually not only wasting your time, but making yourself a less happy person! For example...

This Startup Let Neighbors Pool Their Money To Invest In Their Communites


Buying an abandoned house in Detroit, remodeling it, and then renting or reselling it can be a good investment, but it’s something that many people living in Detroit might not have the cash on hand to do. A new community-based fund that will launch later this year will change that: When neighbors invest a small amount in the fund, the fund can invest in housing, and as the community develops, community members will get a financial return.

Parveen Babi – The misunderstood diva

On Parveen Babi's 69th birth anniversary,here's remembering the diva who enchanted millions of viewers but had no one by her side when she truly needed some support. Her actions were labeled as crazy when all she needed was some empathy and help.

She ruled the 70s. She was the glamorous siren who redefined the image of a Hindi film heroine. Every time she appeared on the screen, it was impossible to look away from her. From the way she carriedherself to the unabashed way of choosing her characters, Parveen Babi was a trendsetter.
In a short career span, Babi was a part of various successful films. Her image was diametrically opposite from the saree clad bhartiya-nari who was usually the Hindi film heroine but that worked in her favour. Parveen was also the first Indian to appear on the cover of TIME magazine and that was a rare feat in those days.


As much as everyone remembers the success of this wonderful diva, we also remember her struggles with mental health.
It was in 2015 when someone as popular as Deepika Padukone gathered the courage to come out and speak about her depression. And that makes one wonder about Parveen Babi, who was misjudged by the world, called crazy by the masses and had no help in the darkest of times.

In a country like ours, where basic survival can prove to be a challenge, we are used to just rushing by our day and ignoring our health, even when it’s a physical ailment. The taboo about discussing one’s mental health is still so massive that commoners like us still find it difficult to talk about it in the open. The common notion of calling someone crazy or loosely using words like “paagal” doesn’t shock anyone. Empathy for those struggling with their mental health issues is still a far cry, so helping someone who is trying to come to terms with their issues is quite far-fetched.

The scenario was even tougher in the 80s. Parveen Babi, who dealt with various mental health issues, was treated like a disillusioned actress. She had accused various Hollywood and Bollywood celebrities of plotting to kill her and that sounded bizarre to many but many failed to recognize the warning signs. Parveen lived through the era when Hindi female actors were largely treated as eye-candy in a film. Their glamour was what attracted many to the theatres but Babi managed to stand out amongst the herd. And Babi was respected for the same but all the fan following she had gathered vanished within seconds when she needed some support. Colleagues who worked with her for many years were nowhere to be seen when Parveen was battling with those dark demons.

Mahesh Bhatt, Kabir Bedi, Danny Denzongopa have all spoken about Parveen’s mental health issues over the years. Bhatt even produced the film Woh Lamhe which was a semi-biographical account of Babi’s life but all of this happened much after Babi’s passing.

From being a successful actor who had producers queuing outside her house to someone who died alone, her life saw a drastic change. It wasn’t until three days after her demise that anyone even got a whiff that a celebrated megastar had now bid adieu to the world. Her demise was tragic but what was even more tragic that the woman who enchanted millions through her performances had no one standing by her side when she needed the strength to go on.

Parveen Babi will be remembered for her glamorous avatar but her life’s story will always be remembered as a tragedy, and that too, for no fault of her own.

आजादी के बाद पहली भागीदारी में पाकिस्तान से भी पीछे था भारत

पिछले 18 साल में 4 गेम्स हुए, भारत ने कुल 105 गोल्ड जीते

Do You Know A tree produces 118 kg of oxygen per year?

Dev Pandey's Terrace Garden He planted 49 trees in this year !  )

Trees release oxygen when they use energy from sunlight to make glucose from carbon dioxide and water. Like all plants, trees also use oxygen when they split glucose back down to release energy to power their metabolisms. Averaged over a 24-hour period, they produce more oxygen than they use up; otherwise there would be no net gain in growth. It takes six molecules of CO2 to produce one molecule of glucose by photosynthesis, and six molecules of oxygen are released as a by-product. A glucose molecule contains six carbon atoms, so that’s a net gain of one molecule of oxygen for every atom of carbon added to the tree. A mature sycamore tree might be around 12m tall and weigh two tonnes, including the roots and leaves. If it grows by five per cent each year, it will produce around 100kg of wood, of which 38kg will be carbon. Allowing for the relative molecular weights of oxygen and carbon, this equates to 100kg of oxygen per tree per year. A human breathes about 9.5 tonnes of air in a year, but oxygen only makes up about 23 percent of that air, by mass, and we only extract a little over a third of the oxygen from each breath. That works out to a total of about 740kg of oxygen per year. Which is, very roughly, seven or eight trees’ worth.
