K-pop comes from Korea-pop, and it is a popular genre of music that originated from South Korea. It popularised primarily since the 2000s, though its origin can be traced back to the 1940’s. In the year 1992, a group called Sea Taiji and Boys debuted and changed the Korean music industry. K-pop Artists primarily engage in electronic pop dance, and use instruments like electronic drums, bass guitar, acoustic guitar, percussion groove box, keyboard sampler sequencer, drum machine, etc., alone with vocals. K-pop is not just about the vocals, but also the enriching visual experience that it offers-where the artists dance and sing in perfect harmony, wearing beautiful and fashionable outfits and jewellery, along with other technological wonders that make their shows ever more amazing!

H.O.T
H.O.T is an acronym for Highfive of Teenagers which is a South Korean boy band that was created in the year 1996. They debuted under S.M Entertainment but disbanded in 2001, which was followed by a reunion in 2018. The band consists of 5 members, namely, Heejun,Woohyuk, Tony, Kangta, Jaewon. They received worldwide recognition for their music.
SHINEE
The members of this group are Onew, Jonghyun, Key, Minho and Taemin. This band was created in the year 2008 and exists even today. Their debut song was ‘Replay’, followed by ‘Juliette’ and ‘Lucifer’. They soon gained the title of managing to get in the top 3 for 3 continuous releases since debut. They are known for their highly synchronised and complex dance routines which brought them a number of awards.
This too, is a South Korean boy band, that was formed by JYP Entertainment. GOT is basically ‘GET’ in the past tense, and 7 is a representative of a lucky number in the West. Thus, GOT7 means ‘7 lucky people together forever’. The group comprises of 7 members, who are JB, Mark, Jackson, Jinyoung, Youngjae, BamBam and Yugyeom. They’ve been performing since the year 2014, and continue to do so even today. A few of their songs are ‘You calling my name’, ‘Hard Carry’, ‘Just Right’, etc. The speciality of this group lies in the fact that they incorporate martial arts tricks, and b-boying in their performances. They’re also often described or referred to, as a hip-hop group.
BTS
This band is one of the most popular K-pop bands in the Korean music industry, and has gained worldwide recognition and fandom through their plausible performances on stage and in their innovative music videos. It is the brainchild of the veteran writer and producer named Bang Shi Hyuk who formerly worked in JYP productions and soon went onto form Big Hit Entertainment and debuted BTS in the year 2013. People, especially children in today’s generation quite literally idolise the members of this band. BTS means ‘Bangtan Sonyeondan’ that literally translates to ‘Bulletproof Boy Scouts’. Its members are Jimin, J- Hope, Jungkok, V, Jin, Suga and RM. RM was the first one to be recruited for the band, for his impressionable rapping skills. They’re known for their amazing dance skills and soulful music. Their performances are a perfect combination of sick dance moves, groovy music, soulful vocals and out-of-the-world rapping skills. A few of their most popular songs are Fake love, Blood Sweat and Tears, Boy with Luv, etc.
BLACKPINK
The members of this band are Jason, Jennie, Rose and Lisa. They’re the first and the only k-pop all-girls group to enter a Top Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart. Though these days k-pop is primarily associated with BTS, one must also have an idea about the fact that there are several other bands under this genre of music, including girl-bands like the Blackpink.
Their song ‘Ddu-Du Ddu-Du’ is the most watched music video on Youtube amidst all other k-pop groups. Apart from this, their social media following is also breaking records. That seems like a neck-to-neck with BTS! The name of the group was formulated so, because of the general stereotype which is associated with femininity and the colour pink. They debuted under YG Entertainment label, and the members wanted to convey through the name of their group, that it entails more than just external beauty. They debuted in the year 2016, and as they were the first girl gang to be produced by YG Entertainment in the last 7 years, they caught a lot of attention. Soon after their music gained more popularity around the world, they began to bag awards.
K-pop is a misunderstood genre of music, and some people often associate it with one or two bands that they know of, but just like all other genres, k-pop comes with a large number of bands originating from South Korea, each of whom have their own unique sales in terms of performance and entertainment. K-pop is not just something that should be tagged as ‘for the kids’, it should be heard by people from all generations, and then they can decide if they liked it or not! I for one, can say that k-pop may not be my favourite kind of music, but its not too bad either. Everyone should at least hear one or two songs and it may or may not change their opinion of it. Nonetheless, its worth a try!
Hello Everyone. Today, we will devour into one of the most crucial areas of our lives. A job brings for welcoming scenarios, a proper working environment, and a livelihood. Whether you are working towards your dream job, or whether you are planning to switch your job, you need to get through the interview.
Whether it is a technical job or a non-technical, one of the most prominent rounds is the HR round. In the HR round, questions are based in order to judge your communication skills, your presence of mind and your overall presence and personality. In order to nail this round, you need confidence, a proper attitude, and knowledge regarding the company, your post and so on.
Today, we will thoroughly discuss some of the questions asked in the HR round and how one should tackle them efficiently. Enjoy your read.
Tell Me About Yourself
In an interview, in any part of the world, this stands alone as the epitome of the ‘Most Asked Question’. The answer to this question is the first impression you are going to give to the interviewer. Make sure it is well framed, properly accentuated, and you speak confidently. The question can be properly answered.
We should answer this question in a calm, polite manner, displaying grace and humbleness. Start from your name, schooling, and background. “Thank You for the wonderful opportunity Sir/Ma’am. I am ‘Your_name’ from ‘college_name’. I have done my schooling from ‘School_name’…” and so on. Further, you should add your hobbies, your dreams, and aspirations.
Remember, you should give a humanitarian point of view in this answer. In fact, be genuine as far as possible. As a matter of fact, in this case, you can also put forth the qualities you possess in a subtle way. It is advisable not to disclose anything about relationship status unless asked, explicitly.
As far as strengths and weaknesses are concerned, you must be a little tactful while you answer this question. In this answer too, one must keep it as genuine as possible. Remember, we might even be asked to give an example of some of the qualities we possess.
A well-framed answer would be something of this sort.
“I have been a very patient learner, with a fast learning skill. I am also a team worker and am very hard working.” Something like this would make a nice answer. You can also add something that motivates you, makes you work harder. Try to put forwards points like you are a team worker, a passionate and careerist person. However, do not exaggerate.
This was the relatively easy part. The tough part comes into play now. How do you define your weakness? You can definitely not say that you are lazy, love to sleep late and all the negative things here. So, you have to put diplomatic answers. For example, you can say something like this:
“I have an issue of trusting people too quickly, which often leads to tricky situations. Also, I am too much of a perfectionist. I also put beyond my limits a lot of times.“ See how you nailed it so well.
This is one of the most tricky, stress testing questions that can ever be asked in an interview. As a matter of fact, this answer must be again handled diplomatically. Sure as hell, you would not want to give the interviewer more points to reject you.
You can talk about the present situation that affects you. Some of the most diplomatic and common answers would be losing someone you love or your fear that sometimes you feel that you might lose out on a lot of things and having less knowledge regarding multiple aspects of life.
Remember to add that you are in fact working on the fear to make it better. Remember do not disclose too much personal information. This can lead to farther questions leading you to worse situations like contrasting answers, ensuring a perfect rejection.
Alrighty. This is not just an opportunity for you to give your best shot, but to flaunt your skills as well. Take this as the utmost opportunity to brag about your own skills, your qualities, and make the most use of this to display why you are better than a thousand sitting for the same job.
Alternatively, speak about positive traits. You can also mention your previous achievements as a professional – a leader or a team member. Remember we can also use this to showcase our skills and exemplify certain situations demonstrating your presence of mind, intelligence and your ability to work as a team member.
Here, you should talk about your professional persona. As a matter of fact, you can also build on how your achievements and personal traits stand in perfect sync to what the job profile asks for. Often you will need to improvise according to the company’s requirement but don’t indulge in wild lies.
In the next five years, where do you see yourself?
You should be talking about how you want to grow in your current position. The hiring manager will be obviously looking for someone who will be more stable in the job. Here, you will be needing to sell yourself as a bankable candidate. Hence, focus on learning, achievements, growth within the organization.
Remember, the hiring manager also looks for future investment, where the person will be looking for someone who would stay loyal to the company, invest efforts and so on.
However, in case your plan is to opt for a completely different path altogether, you should keep it to yourself, not reveal it to the HR manager and focus on the now. This will altogether develop a trust factor.
How have you improved yourself in the past year?
I think this is one of the most relevant questions one can ask during an interview. This is completely relevant in an interview because it will give the interviewer an insight into how keen you are about your profession. The gaining of knowledge and continuous research in the fields of your profession can make you appear as a dedicated and passionate person as far as jobs are concerned.
For example, if you are a technical geek, or looking for a technical job, you can talk about the various frameworks you have learned, the backend technologies you have read about, and so on.
Apart from the careerist approach, you can also speak about various hobbies that you have acquired. For example, talk about a new language that you have learned, a new instrument that you have learned to play. Remember all these are part of overall growth too.
Sell Me This Pen
I will put forward some personal experience here. This is to check your presence of mind, your selling skills and so on. Though mostly asked in sells and marketing department, this question can be asked in other fields too.
As a matter of fact, in addition to showing your ability to sell, your response to this question is an indicator of your ability to think on your feet, and your sense of practicality. Your answer will also tend to demonstrate your communication skills.
You will need to make sure that you are positive and excited about the product as you introduce it. Introduce the product by saying something that sounds like, “I am extremely excited to tell you about this amazing product…” and so on. Keep your gestures willing and charming. You should also add the key points that include benefits, a well-formed comparison to other similar products and so on. This will increase the weight of your answer in the interview.
Last but not least, it is important to remember that if you leave a good impression on the interviewer, it will ensure your job. With patience, with proper practice and presence of mind, it is not too difficult to nail an interview in the HR round. All the best for any upcoming! I hope you had a good read!
Our everyday life is loaded with lots of stress and never-ending work pressure. Succumbing into the chaos of a hectic schedule, we crave for tranquillity and harmony. And your work life might not always allow you to escape into relaxing retreats or vacations. So the only alternative space you are left with most probably is your home.
Did you know that the very surroundings of your home affect your mood immensely? Research says that a cluttered environment at home elevates your stress levels largely. So it’s time to de-clutter your home and transform it into a beautiful Zen space. The word ‘Zen’ basically comes from the Japanese school of Mahayana Buddhism that emphasizes meditation and a relaxed and harmonious way of living. So you can also apply the titbits of Zen principle into your interior design.
Here are 10 ways to transform your home into a space of peace and harmony.
Stick to natural fabrics
Choose natural and light-colored fabrics for your room. This is one of the fool-proof ways of turning your home Zen. The color and fabric of curtains tend to set up the mood and also reduce noise in your bedroom. So go for some natural textiles such as linen or wool. Clean white walls or natural-toned walls are soothing to the eyes. So keep the decor as natural as possible.
At night, avoid those strong eye-straining lights falling directly from the ceiling. Instead focus on some warm, soft diffused lights or candle lights. Mix two or three different-source lightings to create a relaxed and tranquil space. You can also try placing your sofa closer to the window which will give you an abundance of Vitamin D in the morning, and an artistic natural look to your room.
Remove the mirrors
According to Feng Shui, mirrors can bounce off energy and spread restlessness at home. They tend to trigger anxiety and stress in you. So try to limit the number of mirrors in your home as much as possible. You can place a mirror in your bathroom or opposite your bedroom window so that it will reflect natural light into your room during the daytime.
Fragrances affect your mood greatly. Pleasant scents enhance your mood and instill a calming effect. There is a range of essential oils and scented candles you can use to ingrain a Zen atmosphere into your home. If possible, natural flowers can be a good alternative for your home. They will render a more natural and minimalistic ambiance.
Think green
Bring some Feng Shui plants to your home that will radiate positivity into your space. In addition to giving a Zen look to your home, they also make good air-purifiers. They increase the Oxygen levels in the house and remove toxins. Place these plants at different corners and small spaces of the house. Expose them to sunlight once every 15-20 days. These plants are said to bring good luck and harmony into your house. They also lower your stress levels, creating a calming atmosphere. Some of the common plants that are usually preferred are money plant, snake plant, and lucky bamboo plant.
Small pieces of natural and raw materials add simplicity and uniqueness to your space. This is an important aspect of the Zen principle. Instead of glass and plastic showpieces, shop for wood, marble, hides, clay and cork pieces for your living room. Carved wood pieces add warmth and character to your living space.
De-clutter and organize your space
Whenever you clean a messy surface or remove a stain, your mind de-clutters subtly along with it. Clear your desk and kitchen cabinet. Organize your shelf and shoe rack often. It is a wonderful way of stress detox. These little things help you to be ‘mindful’ – a key element of Zen living.
Create your tiny garden
Bring a bit of life and love into your veranda or balcony by placing some outdoor plants like a hanging terrarium, Place it in a space when it will receive abundant sunlight and warmth. It will impart a minimalistic atmosphere to your outdoors. Practice mindfulness every day by watering your plants and nurturing them in every possible way. This is a great way of Zen living. Adding florals are a bonus as they are very inviting.
Remove electronic devices
Electronics are a great source of distraction nowadays. The vibrations emitted from these devices affect our brain at a subtler level, which often goes unnoticed. As Zen and electronics can’t go hand in hand, try to reduce the number of electronic devices in your home even if you can’t remove them completely. Or try lurking them as much as possible. The wires and cables of television or any other devices interrupt the serene atmosphere of your house. So make sure you hide them to maintain the setting.
Zen wall decors
As I have talked above, white or light-toned palettes are a perfect fit for your wall. Adorn your wall with minimalistic decor items. Opt for wall stickers and paintings that symbolize nature, peace, or beautiful scenery. Such items make great Zen decors and paint your walls with elegance and serenity.
So these are some of the ways to turn your home into a beautiful Zen space. If you have any other decor ideas in mind, then feel free to share them in the comments below.

In today’s busy world, it can become very difficult to have a healthy lifestyle. The people are so overworked in their own ways and without even realizing they have acquired so many health problems and illnesses. Therefore, it becomes a necessity to not just fight the acquired problems but also to remain healthy so that we don’t get these in the first place and can work efficiently. Here is a list of the top 8 healthy food and their benefits and that they have to offer in maintaining your fitness and physiological well-being.
Oatmeal
Oatmeal is
the food that comes under the category of pulses, nuts, and grains and is made
from the rolled or ground nuts. There are several health benefits of Oatmeal
and this have made it popular in the past few years. Research in the 1980s
published that the soluble fiber content of the cereal helps to lower the
cholesterol levels. After the publication of this research, the craze for the
oatmeal developed.
In the year
1997, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that food that were rich in the
rolled oats or oat bran content had several cardiovascular heart benefits. This
would be the case if they were consumed with a low-fat diet. The oats are rich
source of complex carbohydrates and of the water-soluble fiber. These two
components slow down the process of digestion. Besides, they also stabilize the
level of glucose in the blood. Oatmeal is rich in potassium, folate, Omega-3
fatty acids, and B vitamins.
Almond is considered to be a healthy snack in itself. Almonds are rich in magnesium, nutrients, iron, fibre, vitamin E, calcium, and in riboflavin. Among several researches that have been published by the medical bodies such as a research published in the Nutrition Reviews, the almonds have been considered to maintain good and healthy levels of cholesterol. The almonds should be consumed by the population at large and they are very good for the eyes as well. The almonds have the highest quantity of fibre as compared to any other tree nut. The almonds should be a part of the healthy diet system and should be consumed regularly to get full benefits of it.
The Wheat Germ is another healthy food that falls in the
category of the pulses, nuts, and grains. This is the seed of the plant, or
precisely it is the embryo of the seed. This is the part of the seed that
germinates to become a wheat plant. This wheat germ along with the bran is
considered to be a by-product of the milling. When the cereals get refined, the
bran and the wheat germ often gets milled out from it.
Wheat Germ is a rich source of many vital nutrients. These vital nutrients are the thiamine, folic acid (folate), vitamin E, phosphorus, zinc, magnesium, essential fatty acids, and also fatty alcohols. It is also a good source of fibre. There may be difficult getting good quality wheat germ in local shops and markets but they are available widely online. Whatever suits the customer, should be done but Wheat Germs should essentially be consumed in order to improve one’s health and stay fit.
Broccoli is one vegetable that is not much liked and
appreciated but is one of the healthiest vegetable one can have. It is a rich
source of potassium, fibre, calcium, phytonutrients, and folate. Phytonutrients
are the compounds that are responsible for reducing the risk of acquiring
serious illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular heart diseases.
Broccoli also has vitamin C and has beta-carotene which is an antioxidant. Another
substance found in Broccoli is the sulforphane and it is also considered to
have anti-inflammatory properties and anti-cancer properties.
Just one serving of Broccoli of about 100 grams can provide
one with more than 100 percent of the recommended Vitamin C intake. This taken
regularly and in the right quantity helps in reducing the duration of the
common cold. However, make sure that you do not overcook the Broccoli as it
would lead to the destruction of all of its essential nutrients. The best way
of consuming is either by eating it raw or by slightly steaming it.
As the famous line goes “An Apple a Day keeps the Doctor
away” it would not be hard to guess that Apple is one of the healthiest fruit
and food of all time. Apples are the best source of antioxidants and they help
in fighting free radicals. Free radicals are the harmful substances that get
produced in the body and result in unwanted changes in the body. These radicals
are commonly responsible for a lot of aging processes and diseases.
Apple has the antioxidant polyphenol which according to
several animal studies, increases the life span and life expectancy. The
researches at the Florida State University consider apple to be the “miracle
fruit.” The study by the same university also found that the apple helps in the
reduction of bad cholesterol up to 23 percent and increases good cholesterol up
to 4 percent. This was the result after studying subjects just for a span of 6
months.
Sweet Potatoes
Sweet Potatoes are the next food item that we have on our
list. Sweet Potatoes offer dietary fibre, potassium, vitamin C, vitamin B6, and
Vitamin A also known as the beta-carotene in great quantity. When compared with
the other vegetables, the sweet potatoes top the list in terms of Vitamin A and
C, protein, calcium, iron, and complex carbohydrates content was considered.
Chicken
Chicken is yet another very healthy food that is easily
available. Besides, it is also a very cheap meat. Free-range chicken is a
wonderful source of protein. Chicken is white meat and can therefore, be
consumed more widely as compared to red meat. Red meat like beef can have
harmful effects on the health of a person and these effects can be
long-lasting.
However, consuming chicken in any form does not make it a
healthy food. The healthy properties of chicken may be lost if it is not cooked
properly. The way it is cooked and prepared determines how healthy the chicken
is for one to eat. Deep-fried chicken is not good for health and should be
avoided in all possible circumstances. It is also advised that before preparing
and cooking chicken, one should remove its skin. This is because the skin part
of chicken contains a lot of fat.
Eggs
Eggs should be a part of every individual’s balanced diet as it is another great source of protein. The eggs are one of the healthiest food and are a very versatile kid of food. Thus, they can be incorporated in all kinds of meals and not just in one’s breakfast. They contain vitamins such as the Vitamin B-12 and Vitamin B-2 which is also known as the riboflavin. Both these vitamins are extremely important for the production of the red blood cells and to provide energy to the body.
Egg is also a good source of the essential amino acid
leucine. This is essential to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. The majority
of the minerals and vitamins can be found in the yolk part of the egg.
Cholesterol and fat are also present in it. However, consuming this moderate
amount of fat is healthy for the body and does not result in any unwanted
illnesses. Research has also proved that consumption of eggs on a regular basis
by making it a part of one’s balanced diet does not result in heart diseases.
Eat Healthy to Live
Healthy
These are the top 8 healthy food of all time and if eaten
properly in a balanced form can do wonders to improve one’s health. They give
energy to fight diseases and other problems and helps in maintaining the
fitness of an individual. One must remember that when consuming these products,
they should be fresh and well prepared to provide maximum benefit to the
consumer.
Lionel Messi is a name known to, and chanted by people all over the world for his rare inborn talent as a footballer. Only once in a decade is someone like him born, who is so sublimely gifted, that he is applauded even by those who do not have a lot of knowledge about this game. His fans often call him the greatest player of the decade.
Messi’s childhood
He was born on 24th June 1987 in Rosario, Argentina, to a working-class family. At the age of eleven, he was diagnosed with with Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) which required extensive and expensive treatment. He begun playing football at an early age and soon his talent began to surface and though his local club, Newell’s Old Boys were interested in signing Messi, they couldn’t pay for his treatment.
Soon after, he was given a trial with Barcelona and on being impressed with his skills, the coach offered him a contract (written on a paper napkin) which included paying for his treatment, in Spain. Messi quickly moved through the junior system ranks in FC Barcelona and ultimately, his short height in combination with his speed and attacking style, has led him to be compared to another famous legendary footballer, Diego Maradona.
Reasons why he is cherished by all
Talking about his characteristics, Messi’s personality has been defined as modest, caring, kind and talented by almost everyone who knows him, or about him. He has inspired countless number of people to play football, irrespective of their shape, height or deformities. He has constantly propagated throughout the years of his involvement in football, that it is not all about physical ability, but also about mental ability. What makes him even more commendable as a person, is his loyalty towards his club. Lionel Messi and Barcelona have been inseparable for 19 years now, ever since he joined at the age of 13. This was the club, which helped him grow from a boy, to a man and as a result of this, he is eternally grateful and loyal towards it. Both Manchester City as well as Chelsea FC offered him to join their clubs but he declined the offers like a gentleman.
Lionel Messi has been known as the best soccer (football) player four times in a row until 2013, and even after that. He made his official debut with FC Barcelona at the age of 17 though his unofficial debut was at the age of 16 after he swiftly made through the C and B teams to the top, through a friendly match. He scored 73 goals during his 2012 European club season, breaking a 39 years old record. He is the only footballer to have received six Ballon d’Or awards, along with 2009 FIFA World Player of the Year and The Best FIFA Footballer Awards 2019. Apart from this, he has scored 684 senior career goals for Barcelona and the country.
He is also the first player in the history of football, to having won five and six European Golden Shoes. He has consistently been the top scorer for FC Barcelona 16 times. He has been the Spanish Champion 10 times, 4 times Champion league winner, 3 times FIFA Club World Cup winner, 8 times Spanish Super Cup winner, 1 time under 20 World Cup Champion, and the list goes on! Messi is the first footballer to score consecutively against all teams in a professional league. In La Liga he has the record for the most goals scored for a single club, which is 354 and in one season he has scored 50 goals (Wowza!). One can only wonder what else this man can do with his prolific talent in the next as many years as are left for him during his course of time, in this game.
Messi v/s Ronaldo
Messi
Cristiano Ronaldo is Portuguese by birth and is also the captain of the Portugal National team. He plays as a forward for Juventus and is 34 years of age. He too is one of the greatest players of his time and started his career as a professional footballer at the age of 16 in Manchester United. After setting a record there, he went on to play for Real Madrid, followed by Juventus. Though his early life was shaped by hardships, he was soon introduced to football by his father who was an equipment manager at a boy’s club. Both Messi and Ronaldo were thus, born in working class families and rose to fame because of their skills on field, and made a name for themselves out of soccer. Both of them are two of the greatest players of our time, due to which they’re often compared with each other.
We know Cristiano as CR7, while Messi is known as Lionel ‘Leo’ Messi to all, amidst other names. Ronaldo is the first player to score against every team in a single season in La Liga while Messi is the first to score 5 goals in one UEFA Champions League match. He is the first player to top-score in four consecutive Champions Leagues. Ronaldo is known for his hard-work and is said to work like a machine to have reached where he is, today. On the other hand, Messi is said to have been born with sheer and sublime talent, coupled with hard work and dedication. Ronaldo has been considered to be better than Kaka or Messi, why Maradona himself has said, ‘Messi is my Maradona’. Ronaldo has won 5 Ballon d’Ors where as Messi has won 6, which is the maximum won by a footballer in history. There is absolutely no doubt in the fact that both of them have made mark in the history of football, based on their individual potentialities and unique skills which make each of them great in their own ways.
Messi is the most popular footballer across the world, pushing Cristiano Ronaldo to the second place. Messi is known as ‘La Pulga’ in Spain, which means ‘The Atomic Flea’. His fans also call him Leo, La Pulga Atomic and Messidona. In 2018, Messi bagged the title of Forbe’s ‘list of best paid athletes’. His fans are mesmerised by his style of play. Though Messi, amidst many other famous players is left-footed, he can also play with his right foot. His fans have always compared him to Ronaldo and Maradona and have considered him to have bested them all. His fans who have been inspired to play the game because of him, are mostly die-hard supporters of Argentina, and are obsessed with jersey number 10. Messi has successfully made an impact on the lives of many in due course of his career in football, and shall continue to do so as long as he plays.

dark colors if you have broad shoulders and a skinny waist. Deep neck cuts make
the torso look longer, flattering this body type.
If you have a smaller chest and a full waist
and hips, choose scrubs with dark side panels. Tops with embellishments along
the neckline will also look great along with dark-colored straight, flare, or
wide-leg pants.
Avoid wearing wide-leg bottoms if you’re big
on your thighs, and if you’re a petite person, it’s better to use ruffled or
gathered tops to bring more volume to your frame. You can also layer the scrub top
with a cardigan or jacket for a far more substantial fit.
Choose the right size
Among the essential things to remember about
choosing the perfect, Grey’s Anatomy scrubs are to select the correct size and
yet, people still miss out on doing this. A lot of health workers purchase
uniforms that do not fit well, but they do anyway just because “there’s a Grey’s Anatomy scrubs sale, and you have to
get one immediately!”
If you purchase scrubs, select the correct
size to help you feel more confident and comfortable while doing your job. If
you have difficulty finding the right size, it would be wise to seek the aid of
the best tailors in town. It will enable you to ensure fixes and modifications.
Choose a color that complements your skin.
Check for the correct color of the Grey’s
Anatomy scrubs that complements your complexion. To figure out whether the
shade matches your skin, bring the scrub near your face, and if the color
provides a warm tone to your face, then that color is perfect for you. If you
look worn or tired beside it, then it’s best to get a different color. The goal
is to use the colors that will accentuate your face and aura. If you’re not
confident enough to assess yourself, try asking your close friends to offer you
their sincere opinion!
Mix and Match.
Although many scrubs are sold in pairs,
purchase a few sets of patterns and vibrant colors and then pair them up.
Trying a fresh look every day would add variety to your outfit and make your
day exciting.
If you wish to match the Grey’s Anatomy
scrubs, make sure you use a printed piece- the impact is downplayed by pairing
it with something in a solid color. Over time, you will better understand how to
switch up and create new looks that you will love.
Give it a personal touch.
Even though you purchase your Grey’s Anatomy
scrubs from a store, there is no reason you can’t bring your unique taste to
it. Although this concept might seem common to some establishments, try getting
your initials embroidered on your top for a fresh, elegant touch. You can also
have your jacket embroidered with your name.
Spice it up with a cute pin to make a solid
color top pop. There are many options to customize your uniform, but make sure
that the concept you want to try is not against any workplace regulations.
Remember, regardless of how beautiful your Grey’s Anatomy scrubs are, carrying them with the correct attitude is essential. A positive outlook gives you comfort even with the pressure of your career. Feeling comfortable about yourself also adds a meaningful change to your life, making you content, healthier, and more productive.

Welcome to the generation where Smartphones have replaced most human activities and toil. A generation where life is controlled by the tap of a button and the world revolves around connecting via networks. Even the most minute tasks can today be done by smartphones. All kudos to the various applications that are in the play store making our lives better and easier. Most of us are Android users, and hence we rely on Android Apps, to a great extent. As a matter of fact, they are the boon that saves us most of the time. Let us look and acknowledge the top 10 most useful Android Apps in today’s generation.
Coming to the most useful Apps, we will exclude the very obvious WhatsApp. In fact, this is the most used and beneficial App ever. We will look at the rest of them.
Weather
It is a simple app that provides the feature of showing the current weather and the forecast for up to 12 weeks. In addition, it also contains the radar and many other fun stats. In addition to a set of lightly customizable widgets and the standard stuff like severe weather notifications, this app also provides us with radar so that we can see the approaching storms.
Simplicity is perhaps one of the best features of the app. It simply shows you the information that you require. In addition, it shows the fun facts in case you want them to be shown. Now as you can see, this app is tremendously helpful for the present generation.
Whether it comes to canceling plans beforehand due to upcoming rain or even carrying an umbrella for an unprecedented storm, we can do that by the use of this app. Kudos to Weather.
Uber
I wouldn’t be needing to introduce this app. Today’s generation has seen more of Ola, Uber than anything else. Gone are the days when not having a private car for transport used to be a complete regret. Now, we can reach our destination in no time with the help of Uber. The cab service which can be shared, prebooked, and even made available at odd hours has made our life even easier.
Kudos to Uber for serving our emergency need, and providing us the best of everything. We can now share a ride with lower cost, estimate the time when we would be reaching and so on. With the Uber pass, we can even afford Uber on a regular basis. Best part of it – completely safe ride. Happy Travelling!
CamScanner
CamScanner is one of the most important Apps in today’s generation. As a matter of fact, this is by far the quickest, most popular scanning app. It is because of the fact CamScanner provides several other features too. These features include scanning the documents, and converting it into pdf if required and sending it to others via WhatsApp, other devices or storing it in your own device.
I bet this comes in handy as we don’t have to run to the scanning machine anymore in case there is an urgent requirement of a document. The document which has been scanned can be even faxed with a minimal cost.
CamScanner is hence one of those apps in the play store that almost helps you serve your requirements perfectly. However, it just has one small issue. The CamScanner mark which explicitly says ‘Scanned by CamScanner’ is present which can only be removed by paid plans. Apart from this, CamScanner is too perfect for an App for you.
EverNote
Hello students. When it comes to taking notes and keeping it organized, nothing comes in better than EverNote. Whether it comes to taking class notes or keeping webpages stacked on top for studying, EverNote is the best app, ever.
The Web Clipper helps us to clip full page screen captures or just the parts you want to remember, and so on. It has other features too. Searching for handwriting is even an easier job with the help of EverNote. Words within handwriting can be identified by the app in a glance. Photos of the whiteboard and to-do lists are also available in EverNote. As a matter of fact, EverNote can even recognize and identify 28 typewritten and 11 handwritten languages. You can also choose which language is used by changing the Recognition Language setting.
You can also change templates according to your wish. It is customizable for the user. You can also find a feature of document scanning with the help of this app. Hence, if you are an eager learner or even a clumsy one, keeping your life organized is easier now with EverNote.
Attendance Manager
I wouldn’t be needing to introduce this app to students, really. With the 75% attendance criteria hanging right above our heads, we really do need this app. Attendance Manager can help us save ourselves from a year’s loss or worse, paying fines. Attendance Manager is pretty useful as it is customizable and doesn’t have a strict theme. We need to add the subjects, the goal criterion. After each class, mark it as attended or bunked. The app will tell how many classes you need to attend and how many classes you may bunk.
Hola amigos, we do not need to rely on the professors anymore now to know our attendance. The pleasure of using this App applies to students who can now calculate the days when they can sleep back home. Another way to bunk super boring lectures. Kudos to Attendance Manager. Yaay!
Flo
Women, are you listening? Being a woman, I can tell you this is the best app, ever. Flo helps you track your period. So you know when the shark week is near. Flo will keep track of your menses, your mood, the kind of flow and will even generate a report of it. Flo can even keep track and inform you whether your periods are regular or not.
The fun part is that in addition to the basic notification of period dates, which it provides 3 days beforehand(customizable) it also has other features. The water intake, sleep, and mood swings, it can keep track of them all. Whether you are trying to conceive or you try to have a safe period sex, it comes in handy.
The secret chat zone is yet another fun feature which I would leave all you women to explore. The beautiful template, customizable features help you to have another reason to thank the latest technology. Happy Menstruating!
Spotify App

Gone are the days when you had to keep a YouTube player open with no other tabs in your use in order to listen to a song that you haven’t downloaded yet. Spotify is a wonderful app that simply needs your internet connection. You can put on other tabs and listen to music using Spotify.
Spotify brings forth a collection of songs based on your choice. Such is the power of Artificial Intelligence nowadays that Spotify can guess your genre of songs and provide you with the playlist you would love. A huge variety of songs based on even your mood, your taste, and your current situation will be provided to you.
In the paid plan, you wouldn’t be needing the internet connection in order to listen to an album. You can simply download too. Hence, happy exploring, music lovers!
Authenticator
Keep your email, your account protected by Authenticator. Nothing works better than Google Authenticator in case of providing security to your Google accounts, Gmail and so on. Google Authenticator is a two-step verification app that uses the Time-based One-time Password Algorithm and HMAC-based One-time Password algorithm. As a matter of fact, Google Authenticator generates a six- to eight-digit OTP (One Time Password) which users must enter in addition to their usual login details.
Let us look at how it is used for each site. First, the app is installed on the smartphone. It must be set up for each site with which it is to be used: the site provides a key(shared and secret) to the user over a secure channel, to be stored in the Authenticator app. This secret key will be used for all future logins to the site.
Needless to say, Google Authenticator is the ultimate savior when it comes to protecting private information and provides amazing security services.
LinkedIn
Welcome to the most popular Job Searching App in Android. LinkedIn is definitely too useful of an App when it comes to launching your career. Whether you are a fresher or an entrepreneur, LinkedIn is definitely your thing.
Aiming to be a companion to the LinkedIn Web Service The LinkedIn app is like a Facebook for grownups that you check every day. The basic functionalities include showing your work experience and your skillset, keeping you open for recruiters. The service includes visitor metrics and a newsfeed for a decidedly more social feel apart from the basic functionalities that it provides. LinkedIn paves a way to chat with a businessperson you’re looking to connect with.
Any.do
Any.do keeps your life clean and organized. It has a calendar, reminder, daily planner, to-do-list and what not. It gets you to do your work, plan your daily routine and definitely reminds you things you often forget.
Any.do app helps itself to be synced to any device – your phone, tablet, pc, laptop anywhere. This makes you even all the more organized. A feather o the cap is the use of voice entry to save the task. How wonderful an app, isn’t it?
Pinterest
Though it comes in the end, it nevertheless is a useful app for this generation. Coming to a collection of mood and pictures, Pinterest is definitely useful. In this generation where days go by in a melancholic mood, sometimes pictures of serene places, lonely beaches, and deep blue sea. Pinterest definitely is a savior when you want a recluse from people and travel to places unknows in your mind map.
So here is your list of the best apps in the town. What are you waiting for! Use them on a go and let us know the feedback. Happy days!
Another year is done and dusted. Admitted, 2019 had its high’s and low’s, but one cannot deny that it gifted netizens with some great memes. Ever since the popularity of social media soared, memes have become an almost inseparable part of our lives. 2019 was no exception, rather exemplary. With 2019 giving way to 2020, let’s retrospect into the memes that solidified the 2019 internet experience for us. Let’s check out the Memes 2020.
The World Record EggMemes 2020
Instagram was taken by storm after an egg, that’s right. an egg captured the attention of all users. Here is the famous post:
The record was previously held by Kylie Jenner, a whopping 18 million hearts. However, this simple random egg seemed to defeat her gloriously, garnering 53 million hearts. It didn’t take too long to achieve this feat, as the post was shared and re-shared on the platform. Obviously, there arrived memes. Not only is it the highest liked image on Instagram, but also on all social media platforms.
The original image was taken by Serghei Platanov, who put it on Shutterstock. The image doesn’t exhibit anything extravagant, it was the mere unity of Instagram users to topple a model that did the job when @world_record_egg posted it. It was soon revealed that the creator of the account was a British advertising creative, Chris Godfrey.
The Exasperated Cricket FanMemes 2020
In a cricket match, the camera never simply stays on the field but pans and zooms to record the reaction of the crowd. It was during a match between Pakistan and Australia that the camera captured a Pakistani fan exasperated with Pakistan’s batting. It has become perhaps the most popular meme in India, finding a place in thousands of relatable memes.
Guess what! The real dude, Muhammad Sarim Akhtar, basked in the meme glory instead of maintaining his exasperated expression. He from tweeted in another match
Crazy but true, this meme has been one of the rare ones that has stayed all throughout the year.
Balidaan Time Memes 2020
2019 was also the year the extremely awaited season 2 of Sacred Games was aired. If it lived up to the audience’s expectations is another story, but it surely led to the birth of memes, the most popular being Guruji’s dialogue “Balidaan Dena Hoga”. Right from memes about college and work, to current affairs and sports, the meme spread across social media pretty fast.
Guruji – balidaan dena hoga Me wading through waist deep water at Milan Subway because Uber is at 5x – yo this enough?
Though the meme did not live as much as the Exasperated Dude, it still made a mark. Not to forget, while it was, it was in all its glory.
We Live in a SocietyMemes 2020
Indeed, with movies like Joker finding popularity among the audience, it can be easily said that we live in an extremely messed up society that can be hypocrite, hateful, partial society that draws lines between classes, marginalizing the minorities, the poverty-stricken mass, oppressing the powerless- the list goes on. This meme trend was a way to capture this very essence in a lighter, more subtle way so that the message is clear but the medium is not rough.
But can’t lie, the meme trend does have a humorous twist to it, often sarcastically mocking something or someone. Who said satire has to be devoid of farce?
This brings us to the next big meme trend that engulfed the internet.
The JCB Memes 2020
For a long time, nobody knew the origin of the #JCBmemes. But the memes were raging: it extended to people posing with random JCB vehicles and posting them on social media. Automatically curiosity arose, and soon the story was out. And it seemed that the origin of the meme wasn’t just #JCBKiKhudai became raging after people discovered that videos on YouTube showing JCB ki khudai were not just popular, but also many had over a million views. Some say the meme started with Sunny Leone’s post-
Some said it was a minister who said, people are unemployed in such large numbers that they’ll stand and watch JCB ki khudai for hours. Whatever it be, the meme spread like fire!
Before it’s popularity waned, there was hardly anyone who did not complain of a newsfeed full of JCB memes!
Chal JhoothaMemes 2020
After Kesari was released, inadvertently memes arose, regardless of the genre and mood of the film. And the most famous scene that was considered was Akshay Kumar saying “Chal jhootha” in loads of memes that were shared.
One cannot lie, the phrase would come in handy so many times a day. If only you could shove the meme on the face of all the lying people around you!
Chilling Chahal Memes 2020
The cricket field seems to be giving memers a field day! (winks)
Sportsperson on the field often react on instinct, fans show their honest reaction, but some have made a good use of the panning camera by acting as the seed for a meme. Chahal won the game.
Chahal was spotted taking rest on the field. Memes followed him fast enough.
Friends : do you want to go out today? Me : no I’m very very busy with work
The famous Area 51 in the US is a restricted area only open to government personnel, the army, and, as per netizens, aliens. The social media users were convinced that sealing off Area 51, one of the strongest government of the world was hiding away aliens that have commuted to the earth, and propagating the narrative that aliens do not exist.
So, “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop Us All” event was created on Facebook by user Matt Roberts on July 27, 2019. The event was scheduled on September 20th, and millions of people signed up for the event, at least online. The hype was huge and memes spammed the walls of social media users for a considerable amount of time.
Something close to the raid did happen, as people showed up in front of the gates. But the flood of people and the planned Naruto Run did not happen, and the number of people wasn’t much. The hype had not just died out, but had involved a lot of people who are non-Americans. But hey, the memes were fun!
The existence of aliens may be doubtful, but the entertainment of Area 51 memes is undoubtedly one of the best experience in existence.
Land Kara Do Bas
How often do we sign up for an experience but regret it soon after it begins? While we don’t really get to document the experience, this man went paragliding and captured the whole experience, including him pleading to the guide, “Land kara de” multiple times. The video of him making faces and cursing while the guide tries desperately trying to keep things smooth had gone viral, and soon enough the memes exploded.
The guy who posted the original video apparently saw a great opportunity in the fame he was achieving through the memes, and made promises to the internet-
This one went famous internationally, featuring four people, mainly villains for Spiderman, meant to show that the four guys are chilling while carrying out an activity, although later the characters have been altered as per the context of the meme.
Originally it looks like this-
The meme game has given this template the push it needed to become popular.
The woman screams while being held back; the cat stares bewildered. This meme template went pretty viral. People thought the two images come from the same source. However, it was soon discovered that the two images come from two different places.
But that didn’t mean the meme was in any way fading. Apparently, the cat’s name is Smudge, and he’s from Ottawa. He hates salad. And he loves to share the table with his owner’s family. One day, however, his seat was offered to a guest who was having salad. Unimpressed, Smudge tried to retake his chair but was further perturbed on finding the salad at his seat. A snap right on time and Smudge went famous worldwide with the meme.
This meme is still alive, though not as bright as its initial popularity, but while a lot of memes die out in the fast paced social media experience, staying alive well into the new year is indeed a feat!
Joker (dir. Todd Phillips); Meme Material 100%
There is no denying that Jokeri was a serious movie throwing light on society. It reflected the We Live in a Society meme, if the reference is to be made: the hypocritical upper class constantly pushing down the oppressed lower class. Arthur is a troubled man with an abusive childhood, living with his mother only. As it turns out, he is a schizophrenic, hallucinating much of the stuff he (as well as we the audience) sees, left with no therapy sessions after the free counselling facility was stopped by the government, and some hints suggest the whole movie is a part of his dream. There are many strong dialogues and the storyline is impressive. However, even this one couldn’t escape the meme fever. How could it? The more popular something is, the more memes are made out of it.
Crossover memes! Because, why not? The more memes, the better.
That is extremely Indian!
So many templates! So many scenes! So many memes!
Baby Yoda
This meme gained popularity near the end of the year. The first episode of Mandalorian, a part of the Star Wars franchise, aired on 12th November, 2019. And ever since then, the extremely cute and adorable “Baby Yoda” memes have won over the internet. It features a baby from Yoda’s species that makes an appearance on the show, and netizens can’t get enough of its cuteness.
The much anticipated Marvel movie was supposed to conclude phase 3 of MCU with 10 years of movies building up to this. If it was a disappointment or a big win, is a debate for another time. But the best contribution of the movie were the memes.
The hype around Avengers: Endgame was like a fire, and a lot of people tried to watch it illegally online, while others fought to get tickets as early as possible. People were asked to hold back spoilers until a certain period of time. When the restriction was pulled off, the memes flooded.
What about another crossover meme?
Undoubtedly, the meme rage of 2020 was in no way bleaker than its predecessors. And it can be easily said that 2020 will be no less entertaining. These are just some of the memes that raged in 2020. You can add more memes right below in the comment section. And let’s wait until the new year to unearth a new set of memes that will keep the meme game alive in the next decade as well.
