Well, have you ever heard of the phrase saying “a lot can happen over a cup of coffee”? This phrase is very well utilized by most of the café owners all around the world. Coffee or tea is essential part for a considerably major portion of the workaholic humans. Caffeine addicts often cannot imagine starting their day without their cup of preferred beverage.

Book lovers and consistent readers often get hooked up on completing their favorite picks by pulling all nighters. But in today’s society where everyone asks you to be more extroverted and superficially social, even the book lovers got to go out for the sake of their social existence. People often think that a book person would naturally occur to be an introvert. Which is not exactly true, most book lovers can easily connect with strangers whom they find to be like minded. So it would not be wrong to say that they by the virtue of their own will prefer to be selectively social!

Existence

And the very existence of book cafes is entirely for such book lovers or busy people who would like to enjoy a cup of coffee while reading their choice of book while munching on tasty snacks.

The idea of opening book cafes was not strong willed at first due to its considerable chances of not getting enough profit. No one thought a café with a book shop would last very long but it was around in 2000 when the Cha Bar, Oxford bookstore’s first book café opened in Kolkata. And there is no need of questioning how well it prospered because today Cha Bar has a total 30 outlets in major cities and towns in India.

So the idea of reading your favorite author while sipping a cup of coffee actually prospered. Many people argued over the fact that one can visit the cafes only during morning or afternoon hours because in the evening hours it gets crowded and noisy. But peace finders can always find their way so the benefits of a book café can never be ignored. And due to the very existence of book café, many peer groups could continue their work in peace and did not have any trouble in finding places where they could work on their group projects and hold their discussions.

Here are some of most beautiful book cafés in India:

Leaping windows, Andheri West, Mumbai.

If you are a manga or graphic novel lover just like me, then you cannot afford not going to this place. It is a basement library and has book collection for all ages. Its cozy in every sense and their choices on the menu can never disappoint you. If you are up for a book date, do visit this amazing place.

Café story by chai break, Kolkata.

This place has a huge library with over 3000 titles and a menu from which you can pick your favorite beverage and snack. The thing that makes it different from other book cafes is the variety of board games you get to play when you come here. Oh, you will never regret coming here because they get access to writing and sketch pads, brushes and paints. To sum it up, you will absolutely find it amazing.

Cha Bar CP, Delhi.

Do I even have to write anything about it? It serves you with the variety of almost all the exotic range of teas available in the world. And let’s not forget that we are talking about the Oxford book range here. You can find almost every book which is on your wishlist to buy or read. All you need to do is find a table, order your choice or cake or snack and enjoy your book. This can be considered as one of the heavens for the book lovers.

There are many more, but I would say these three tops my list and it would be a shame to not share this with you. So, visit these places, and you find them to be your new go to place just like the central perk of the famous tv series F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

Happy binge reading!

Emotional Healing and Animals

Life is a highly monotonous affair, no? I can bet that many people are surely going to agree over it. But those who don’t must have either not been accustomed to this fact yet, or they are deeply over-optimistic. Quite fortunate beings they are, no? Well, but this article is for those who are well-tormented with the humdrum of life. On coming across the day-to-day struggle and chaos of life, many people start losing their grasp over their minds. Irritating mental conditions, like anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, mood disorder, nightmare disorder, and other mental conditions grab hold of their brains and start affecting their life and actions. Their sanity often starts shaking because of that. However, there may be other reasons too. Whatever be the reason, mental conditions are deeply distressing.

Roy T. Bennett states:

“Happiness depends on your mindset and attitude.”

Well, it becomes crystal clear that one cannot stay happy until and unless one’s mindset and attitude are not in their appropriate forms. But there exist a very easy and highly effective way to relieve one’s stress and emotional chaos. Animal-assisted therapy is an inexpensive and fruitful treatment method highly useful in treating the one’s struggling with mental conditions. It is a type of alternative therapy.

Animal-Assisted Therapy

Animal-assisted therapy involves the use of animals to treat psychological and emotional disorders. The people struggling with depression, anxiety or any other mental condition often start excluding themselves from the society. They try to carve a space of their own, in the attempts of which, they often end up in seclusion. In order to assist people in such states, animal-assisted therapy can play a great role. It can act as an assurance to them that they aren’t alone in this world; and being a part of this world, they can create their own world.

Under animal-assisted therapy, emotional support animals are used to heal one’s emotional agitation. Such animals usually include dogs and cats. However, any animal which provides any sort of comfort, relief, or support to a mentally-disturbed person can be termed as an emotional support animal.

Emotional Support Animals and Healing

Emotional support animals play a great role in making a person feel calm and stress-free. They often provide a sense of safety to relieve distressed minds. Animals are a great way to divert one’s attention. The companionship and love that one gets from an animal can do wonders. Embracing, cuddling and loving an animal is one of the most joyous things that can soothe chaotic souls. Regular playing with an animal can take one out of depression, as it can force one to start taking interest in life.

Emotional support animals can heal a person not only mentally, but also physically and spiritually as well. People feel happy and healthy in the presence of animals. They feel blessed to have someone by their side all the time listening to their hearty talks and confessions, as otherwise they feel shattered in their loneliness. Animal-interactions have proved to be highly beneficial in improving the mental health of those suffering with depression, anxiety, mood disorder, bipolar disorder or other mental conditions. One often gets habitual to feeding one’s pet, taking it out for a walk or taking care of it, and therefore, consequently gets a purpose and routine in life.

Conclusion

Animal-assisted therapy is a magical way of reducing mental torments. In some cases, it can do what no medicines or treatment methods are capable of doing. Emotional attachment with an animal is a highly effective way of alleviating loneliness and bestowing salubriousness. According to a recent study on mentally-disturbed people, it has been found that in more than 75% cases, depressed people’s health improved due to having a pet as an all-time companion. So if you are an emotionally-distressed soul, then go and get an emotional support animal for yourself and start healing the roots of your soul. But remember, the joy one gets into nurturing a street animal is nothing in comparison to taking care of a pet bought from a pet shop. So, adopt a street animal and give it the love and care it deserves, and receive its true affection in return.

Happy healing!

Benefits Of Maintaining A Daily Journal

Sometimes, there are certain things only we understand. There are experiences, feelings, ideas, and emotions that we want to only keep to ourselves. At times like these, comes to our rescue, a journal. Most of us maintain a diary or journal of sorts, which no one but we are allowed to access. These journals are a safe haven for many of us, where we come running to after a long day. And for most of us, these journals are the only things that truly know us.

Journals can be about anything- our daily life, our dreams, our bucket list, or our travel experiences. The only thing common here is that all these journals enclose in their pages our innermost thoughts, feelings, and emotions. And trust me, there are many benefits of maintaining a daily journal. It is not just therapeutic, but also an outlet for our innermost feelings. Almost 90% of the most successful people in this world make it a point to maintain a daily journal. And here is why you should too-

It relieves stress

Many a time, we find ourselves unable to vent our feelings to someone after a long hectic day. When we are suffocating in our own anxiety and helplessness, this journal comes to our rescue. You can write down all your frustrations without feeling self-conscious in a journal. And once you have done that, you feel lighter and better. Writing in a journal is similar to confiding in a very close friend. Just how you feel better after talking to a friend about your feelings and your anxieties, you feel better after writing in a journal too.

Helps you introspect yourself

When your feelings are in black and white on a paper, you are forced to see yourself objectively. You see yourself like how an outsider does, and your perspectives change. When you pen down your innermost thoughts and read them again, you pass judgments on yourself as someone else would. This way, you introspect yourself better and identify yourstrengths and weaknesses more easily. When you analyze yourself with the help of a journal, you aren’t biased or indecisive. Introspection and self-reflection become a lot easier with the help of a journal.

You become more optimistic

Yes, you actually do. The more you pen your negative thoughts, the freer your mindbecomes. This way you make space for positive thoughts to enter your mind and occupy it. Not just this, it is just human nature to want to always be around positivity. No one wants to be unhappy or depressed.

Everyone, by default, seeks happiness. When you read your own negative thoughts, you subconsciously start thinking optimistically, just so that what you write on paper is positive. You will think positively just because you don’t want to read sad words in your journal. This is a sort of psychological manipulation of your brain– writing a negative thought down makes you think more positively.

Improves your writing skills

Practice makes a man perfect. The more consistent you are with your journal, the more you hone your writing skills. Good writing skills are a prime requirement in almost all professional fields. Maintaining a daily journal is like giving yourself a lesson in creative writing. Journal writing allows a free flow of thought, and this flow shows when you pen down exactly what you think.

Once you start writing and are consistent, you will see your writing becoming more organized and efficient. To describe your own feelings, you will start using words you didn’t even know existed in your personal vocabulary. With all these things, your writing skills will improve tremendously. And who knows, one day you will be writing novels and blogs in place of journals!

You get better acquainted with yourself

The human brain thinks in bits and pieces. Our minds are like restless monkeys, jumping from one thought to the next in a nanosecond. Sometimes, we are unable to decide who we are, and what we want. The disorganization of your thoughts plays a big role in this. So when you write a journal, you are just organizing your thoughts on paper. This way, you can better understand your feelings and emotions, and get better acquainted with yourself.

Reading your own journal makes you realize things about yourself that you never knew. You recognize patterns in your behavior, and you get to know what makes you happy or sad. It becomes easier to pinpoint the reasons for your thoughts and behaviors because your innermost feelings are on display for you to introspect, evaluate, and learn about.

Acts as motivation

When you maintain a daily journal, you are leaving an account of your daily life. You write about your achievements and your weaknesses. When you are feeling demotivated, just flip through the pages of your journal. You will come across many instances where you achieved something, got a flattering compliment, or did something admirably nice.

You will also come across instances where you managed to do something you didn’t believe you could. And these instances will motivate you, give you the boost of confidence you need. Even the weaknesses you have written about will motivate you to work to overcome them. All you have to do is be consistent with your journal and read backward when you are low or demotivated.

Inspires creativity

Like I said above, journal writing allows a free flow of thoughts. When your thoughts are flowing freely, your brain is working faster and with more clarity. It’s like allowing your brain to think and come up with new ideas. Journal writing gives you the freedom to let your imagination run wild.

You can write about your craziest ideas, your innermost feelings, your opinions about anything under the sun. By doing this, you are unlocking the door leading to your super amazing creative self. You can access new ideas and theories hidden somewhere in your brain by writing your thoughts down. Then you can analyze these ideas, refine them, and surprise yourself with how brilliant you actually are.

You make better decisions

Writing in journals is proven to have amazing therapeutic benefits for you. It also calms you down, channels and organizes your thoughts, and helps you put things into perspective. When you have written your jumbled thoughts down and look through them as a third person, you make better decisions. By reading your thoughts instead of thinking about them, you see things more objectively. Thus, you are less likely to let your internal biases hinder your decision-making.

Writing things down helps you analyze the pros and cons better, and helps you think clearly. When you start thinking more clearly and objectively, you gain perspective. And by gaining perspective and proper analysis, you are more likely to reach a better decision. So when in doubt about which road to take, write your thoughts down and then evaluate what you truly desire.

I am not saying that maintaining a daily journal is the solution to all your problems. It is just an outlet for your thoughts, and a way to give them some direction. Journals channel and organize your higgedly-piggedly thoughts, and save you from crumbling under the burden of your own thoughts. We are normal humans and don’t have magical tools like Dumbledore’s Pensieve to put our thoughts in. But a daily journal is definitely the closest thing to this magical tool. So do go ahead and give it a try, and trust me you will not regret it.

The fields of computer science and information technology currently have the highest growth rate in terms of the latest trends and technology. With increasing evolution in IT trends, there is greater demand for certain skills within companies. These IT skills are still new and foreign, but developing at an exponential rate. With a development rate this high, it becomes necessary for an aspirant employee to keep expanding his skill-set. Not just that, IT professionals are expected to be in sync with the latest trends in computer science and information technology. This doesn’t just hone their existing skills and build new ones but also affirms their position in the company as a top employee.

So here are the top 7 IT skills in greatest demand in the year 2019

Full Stack Development

Top 7 IT Skills In Highest Demand In 2019

The times have long gone by when back-end developers and front-end developers were hired separately. Now, companies look for full stack developers, who are well versed in everything. Full-stack developers are software engineers who are skilled in all aspects of software development. These include design, front-end, and back-end development, networks, APIs, hosting, and security. Such engineers are valuable because they have such a vast skill-set.In fact, an average software engineer salary in the US can be up to $295K annually.

Full-stack developers potentially increase the efficiency of companies without increasing the number of employees or capital investment. These engineers need to have strong programming skills and a thorough knowledge of the areas of IT development. The greater the amount of experience in various development fields, the more valuable you are to a company.

DevOps

DevOps is an amalgam of two words- Development, and Operations. It is a software development methodology that combines software development with information technology operations. DevOps reduces the time between the process of modifying a system and the permanent placement of this modification in the system. For example, if there is a bug in Instagram, then there is some time gap between its identification, correction and final delivery. A DevOps engineer reduces this time gap.

Be it growth opportunity, salary, or employment statistics, DevOps is one of the top skills in demand as of 2019. One can easily avail DevOps training online on many websites, in popular skills like Jenkins, SaltStack, Splunk, and Maven.

AI and Machine Learning

These two skills are, hands-down, the most popular and widely known IT skills in the world. AI and Machine learning always go hand in hand. Machine learning is a programmed system’s ability to learn and improve implicitly from past information and experience. Cookies can be a vague example.

When we search for an item of clothing online, the Internet remembers our search. So, every time we revisit the internet, it shows us ads of similar clothing items, knowing we are interested and tries to help us. Siri, Google Assistant, face recognition and speech recognition apps; all these employ AI and machine learning. As of 2019, professionals with these skills earn more than $500000 on an average. No wonder that it is one of the top IT skills in 2019.

Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity sounds like a boring skill. It is not as new as other skills on this list, but it is definitely in great demand. Cybersecurity has always been an issue, what with hackers on the large everywhere. And with the increased popularity of software-based databases and technology in industries, cybersecurity has become even more essential. The hackers of today are no novices. They are perfectly capable of breaking through the most advanced security measures. Hence, the constant evolution of cybersecurity is a necessity.

Cybersecurity is also a vast field in terms of employee roles, like ethical hacking or systems security. And the number of jobs in this field are increasing faster than the positions can be filled.

Data Science

Data science is the theory behind every technological advancement in the world. It deals with algorithms that analyze past data trends and make predictions based on it. These predictions enable IT engineers to formulate new algorithms using the existing ones to create new technological solutions. Everything that we see in sci-fi movies is possible with Data Science Analysis. And currently, data analysts are the hottest commodity out in the IT sector.

Uncovering new patterns in existing data and coming up with ways to use those patterns is an art. And a data scientist is the Picasso of the IT sector. It requires good mathematical, verbal reasoning and analytical skills, and knowledge of computer systems and coding. So if you love research work and solving logical problems, you will be a master of Data Science.

Business Intelligence Analyst

Business Intelligence is quite similar to Data Science. The only difference is that a BI Analyst does the same things from a business perspective. Business Analysts analyze past trends, past data, and make future predictions. So you know how McDonald’s has a policy “Never serve stale food to customers”? This means that if there are fewer customers on a particular day, a lot of food would go waste. But that doesn’t happen.

McDonald’s has business analysts who analyze the customer density and food consumption data of over 100 years. Using their skills, they can predict a fairly accurate number of customers that the McDonalds outlets will get on a particular day. This helps the suppliers only deliver the exact amount of food to the outlets, so that food never goes waste.

And these predictions are extremely accurate. Most times, they even consider natural calamities and other impossible things. BI analysts are extremely valuable and earn 6 figure salaries. And if you are good at solving problems and analyzing patterns, you have the potential to be a BI analyst.

IoT (Internet of Things)

Today, people spend most of their time on the Internet. So it is natural that the material things around us should also be connected to the Internet. That, precisely, is the definition of the Internet of Things. IoT enables home appliances, cars, home security systems, and other electronic devices to share data over the Internet.

Fitbits are a classic example of the Internet of Things. They track our heart rate and using data available on the Internet, calculate the number of steps. Also, smart homes are also becoming increasingly popular as more people are adopting automated systems for their homes.

IoT increases efficiency, safety and improves decision-making ability in industries. It is a vast field, with many skill requirements such as data analytics, cloud computing, automation, etc. Also, the field of IoT is extremely promising in terms of career growth and job opportunities. So if you are an IT engineer who loves variety, go for a career in IoT.

The field of computer science and information technology is constantly evolving. With this evolution in technology comes an evolution in job profiles and skill requirements. Thus to keep up with these changes, the requirement for vaster skill sets has increased. And considering the amount of competition out there, you need to be the best. So get hired by mastering one of the above skills, and prove your worth to all the IT engineers out there!

6 Ways A Nanny Can Improve Your Child’s Well-Being

Your nanny is doing more for your child than you realize. When you are at work, and your spouse is out earning a second income to support the family, the nanny is there to watch your child. But she (or he) is not there to simply sit in front of the couch and make sure the little one doesn’t get outside or doesn’t hurt themselves on something. No, your nanny is having a significant impact on your child’s well-being.

Emotionally, intellectually, physically; she is doing the things that busy parents wish they could be doing with their children instead of working ten hours a day, six days a week. For this, we should be grateful to our nannies for providing us — really, our children — their services.

If you are considering hiring a nanny to care for your child, the benefits to your child are tremendous! Know that there are a few things to take into consideration before making the final decision, such as your budget for a nanny (they are typically less expensive than a childcare facility), how much payroll taxes you should set aside, background checks on the proposed nanny, and so on.

If you do hire a nanny, here are some of the ways she can help your child’s well-being:

They Will Love Your Child

A nanny is a single person caring for a single child, sometimes two or three. But they are not a single person responsible for overseeing seven or more children at a time. That is what you get when you put your child into a childcare facility. Teachers have their hands so full watching over so many kids at one time, many of them do not care for your children. They simply feed them at lunchtime, change the diapers as needed, and struggle to maintain some kind of curriculum. There is rarely a connection between the teacher and your child.

But your nanny does share that connection with your child. They get so close to your son or daughter that they take the extra step to make sure that not only are they fed and changed, but they are also cared for in every way possible. This creates another healthy relationship for your child.

Activities

To help with your child’s physical fitness and continued motor and mental development, a nanny will interact with them as a parent would. They will sit down and color, take them to the park to play, and explore the past in a museum or the worlds stored away in the library. The nanny will be creative with where they take your child and what activities they participate in once there.

Divorce

In the unfortunate event of a divorce, your child will be lost in the shuffle. They will have so many emotions swirling through them but will have nothing to cling onto as the separation happens, and for a long time after. Your nanny, because she cares so much for your child, will be the rock they are able to hold onto during the proceedings.

They Help with Homework

Parents and society put a lot of emphasis on academic success. Part of what a nanny can do is help them achieve that success. Because they want to see your child succeed, a nanny will help them with their homework. She will sit down with them and work through the problems they are having in the subject.

They Develop New Skills

The nanny will spend a lot of time with your child, watching them grow up and improve on skills they’ve already learned. They are in a position to identify a new talent as it begins to emerge and they will quickly begin working on that. They will incorporate new activities or outings to nurture this budding skill and help it blossom to its full potential.

They Create Stability

The childcare industry has a high turnover rate. Teachers working long hours, with too many children at once, in an environment where management is not usually qualified, in an industry that is all too often short-handed. Many teachers do not stay in a facility for too long. This can create confusion; either your child is constantly having new teachers come in or they are tossed around between different classrooms.

The opposite can be said about a nanny. Because they work with fewer children and they know the goals you have set for your child, they are more likely to stay for longer periods of time. Again, because they get close to your child, they want to keep working with them. Hiring a nanny will provide your child stability so that he or she can develop properly and simply have fun.

At Many brides and bridesmaids choose to match their lehenga with a thick layer of matching bangles to add a nice finishing touch. You can try matching a silk or brocade lehenga with bold antique bangles or silver kada bangles with your designer lehenga for that sophisticated look.

Chokers and necklaces

The aim of a choker is to draw all the attention to your lehenga blouse and your neck. If you wear a lehenga that constitutes a heavy embellished skirt with a plain blouse or a blouse with a flattering neck, then your choker needs to balance off nicely. You can also opt for a simple choker or a bold layered one. Remember to tone down your other jewerelly if you decide to wear a heavy choker so that you don’t drown the look.

If you don’t fancy chokers, you can go for diamond or pearl necklaces. A stone necklace will be a perfect choice for a net lehenga. Indo-western lehengas usually come with a shirt style blouse that has a high or collar neck. A long necklace will add sophistication to your look.
