0

So the scorching summers are here and if weather predictions are to be believed then these summers are going to be the hottest till now. The temperature that we are witnessing recently is the perfect example for this. Hence one needs to take a good number of precautions to have a healthy season. Diet surely plays a very important role in this. Taking a fatty diet can cause tiredness at a great level and lead to exhaustion becoming an obstruction in our routine work.

First and foremost thing that we need to do is to drink lots of fluids. Now these not necessarily be only water because many people find it tasteless and hence don’t like to drink plain water. You can go for other fluids like energy drinks, natural fruit juices and so many other options. While taking energy drinks you need to be a little careful as these might have caffeine and over-consumption of caffeine too is very bad for health. The bottom line is drink lots of fluids to flush out toxins from your body.

Dietary Habits For Summers

Eat a balanced diet and reduce the amount of oil and fatty products you consume. These not only will cause problems like obesity, cholesterol but also slows down the metabolism of the body and hence reduces your pace. The time you eat and how you sit while eating also plays a very important role. Try to eat at same time each day and at regular intervals as well. For the people who are dieting, consume more of fruits and liquids. It is advisable to you not to go out at wee hours of sun as your energy levels are already low.

If you are taking any medicines, make sure to ask your doctor about its side effects and how can you reduce them. Many medicines cause acidity which can be countered by consuming more water.

Dietary Habits For Summers

You must also try to increase the amount of protein content in your diet. Protein converts the fat in  muscles and hence you will be doing double the exercise without any increased efforts. Non-vegetarians can get it by consuming meat but this also must be taken in small proportions. For vegetarians, you might want to consume products like soy and tofu for you protein needs in addition to pulses.

Dietary Habits For Summers

A good way to increase your activities is to exercise and physical activities on a regular basis or at least as often as you schedule allows you for. This will keep you healthy and active which is a key requirement for summers.

Dietary Habits For Summers

Increase the amount of vegetables and fruits in your daily foods. These increase your energy and take care of your digestive system as well. Fruits have a lot of water content and help you to be hydrated. Also no matter if you are on a diet or not you must consume a fruit each day. Because you will be well hydrated, you will see a lot of good glow and changes in your skin too.

12 Angry Men- A Classic That You Need To See!

0

This movie is considered to be one of the timeless classics of all time, produced and played by Henry Fonda in 1957. It revolves around a murder apparently committed by a teenager. During 1950s and 1960s in US almost all decisions taken by the jurors had to be unanimous. So, the decision could incriminate or exonerate the convict. A life was at stake, so that means a lot.

In this particular movie the whole idea is to master the art of consensus building through rational and logical arguments and convince someone who starts the discussion with a complete polar opposite position and ultimately changes tack.

At the start of the movie only one Juror played by Henry Fonda was against the idea of convicting the victim to death. While the rest of his colleagues considered the case  to be slam dunk he decided to reason with them and started to  find out important points which were found to be overlooked by the authority as most of them were biased and hell bent on proving that convict has committed the crime.

He faced a lot of hostilities at start as expected. But slowly with patience he started to build rapport with the fellow members and ultimately managed to completely overturn the decision.

12 Angry Men- A Classic That You Need To See!

Each and every juror has some important personality traits. For example, if we talk about Jury 1, his character can be said to have traits of Composed, methodical, disciplined and organised. His role came out clearly in the instance when he gets influenced by others’ opinions initially but later on assesses the facts.

Whenever we talk about group formation, one of the basics is that group formation generally happens in five stages: “Five Stage Model”. We observed the formation of groups layer by layer through the movie.

Forming Stage: When jury interact with each other for the first time. They tend to be helpful, polite and friendly to each other. What is known “Testing the water” stage.

Storming Stage: Here the jury members are deciding the roles and group goals. “Sitting according to jury no.” There we saw a lot of conflicts which was pretty much expected.

Norming stage: When the decision took place that the decision would be taken on 12-0 vote and the group agreed. Voting took place and they brainstormed. “No rules as such”, “respect old man”

Performing stage: They continued to brainstorm for a fair verdict which was their goal.

Adjourning stage: Jury members dispersed after achieving the goal. That was to reach a verdict.

Apart from the personal characteristics one of the factors that played a major role is external factors. For instance – weather and ball game.

Weather was very hot that day and at the start of the discussion we see that some of the jurors are complaining that the room was not air conditioned. And some of them were more than willing to get out of that room.  And that kind of hampered their ability to think rationally. Though the life of a person was at stake but somehow they overlooked it. And there was a discernible change in their attitude towards threadbare analysis when it started to rain and fan started to work.

12 Angry Men- A Classic That You Need To See!

One of the jurors bought tickets for the ball game and he was insisting every now and then to reach a verdict as soon as possible so that he could reach the venue sooner. He had an incentive. He prioritized his ball game over the life of a person.

How NOT to persuade someone

0

Any work today needs human intervention at some level and hence it is very important to understand that how one can affect others decisions and what are the mistakes that are supposed to be avoided. Understanding how to not persuade someone hence becomes all the more important. Here are some tips that you can follow:

  • Trying to make your case upfront:

It is a known fact that slowly taking your points forward and gradually putting your case in front of others is what the most effective way to persuade is. By just making your case at the first go, distributing responsibilities to the colleagues will make them feel more burdened and the effective work will not be obtained.

Through a process of persistence, logic and exuberance the desired results from persuasion can be achieved.

  • Resisting compromise:

To compromise is not to loosen your grip of control or to let go of the benefits. If we want to persuade someone, it is important to realize that others viewpoints must also be considered. People like who like them and of course who think like them. So it is essential to make your audience feel that they are important and that you are flexible enough to accommodate what they want and thus want to reach a shared decision.

How NOT to persuade someone

  • Presenting Arguments:

Making an argument is important for any conversation and in the case of persuading someone, most important. But the argument made, the facts presented must be of significance and in connection with the context. Also though arguments matter, what matters more is how the facts are presented. Because in the end the aim is to convince/ persuade the other person. This is what all the efforts boil down to.

  • Persuasion is a continuous process and not short term activity

It is important to realize that persuasion is not a one shot process. Not a come and go thing but a long term and ongoing process till a consensus is reached upon, a shared solution. Making the pie bigger and involving everyone in the decision is what often people fail to realize or avoid as it is generally considered as a slow and difficult process

So the key points that can be derived from the above points can be jotted down as below:

  • Trying to make your case upfront i.e. trying to push your ideas.
  • Resisting compromise. Not being flexible, not considering others.
  • Presenting arguments.
  • Assuming persuasion to be one-shot effort and not an on-going one.

How NOT to persuade someone

So here you go! Persuading is important because then only can a team agree on a certain thing and an action plan can be put in place. Building personal relations also help and is a necessary ingredient in any conversation. Be attentive to what others as saying and make sure not have any perceived notions and make decisions based upon hard facts and proofs only.

10 Phases Of Life That Only A Girl From Odisha Can Relate To…

0

“Girls”= “patience ki dookan”, “problems ke solution ka one stop” “mother of healing” etc. the present day definition for a girl is ‘the things which bear the capacity to withstand 1000 kg of problems without complaining or breaking.’ I am not kidding. Seriously people think about us like that. God knows what made people think that girls are like this. This is somewhat true also. But people’s conception about ‘odiagirls (girls from odisha)’ is epic. Honestly we go through a lot just because we are termed as ‘odia girls.’ Even though the experience is quite ‘khatta-meetha’ as it consists of everything. Want to share our experience?

1.Want A Husband? Temple Jindabad!!!10 Phases Of Life That Only A Girl From Odisha Can Relate To...

As our epic mentality comes, there is only stop for finding a husband i.e. temple. Our parent, neighbors and almost every citizen of odisha believes that if you want a good husband, a good family in law only god can help you in this. We are even instructed to fast on Monday and visit ‘shivji’s temple’ in order to bribe him for good husband.

2.Dont Open Your Hairs At Night10 Phases Of Life That Only A Girl From Odisha Can Relate To...

This is a epic one. I guess every odia girl have heard this terms at least once in their lifetime. We are expected not to open our hairs at night. There is a funny logic behind it. Our ancestors believed that when girls open their hair at night, they are subjected to risk from ghosts. Ever heard of “bhoot badha”? They believe that we will get “bhoot badha” if we open our hairs at night. Hilarious isn’t it?

  1. “Shadi Kab Ho Rae He Iski”10 Phases Of Life That Only A Girl From Odisha Can Relate To...

Now this is something we always face it,that epic marriage wala dialogue. Every time a relative visits our home; this is a free question that comes with them. It doesn’t matter whether you are 20, 25, 27 or 18. It’s like after the age of 18, you should get married as soon as possible. Every time a relative visits my home, I always get prepared to listen to questions like, “padhae kab khatam hogi?” “She has come of age” “you should get her married soon” blah blah blah…

  1. “Kumar Purnima”10 Phases Of Life That Only A Girl From Odisha Can Relate To...

Well this is a festival for odia girls. Actually this is one of the best things that happen to odia girls otherwise ‘life is in deep shit’ phase continues for them. Basically it is believed that a girl used to do this puja for her brother’s well being for 5 Sundays then after that the next full moon would be “kumar purnima” where she did rituals for getting a handsome groom. Just like “karwa chauth” for others, we celebrate this day for our ‘to be husband’. But the difference is “these rituals are done by unmarried girls only. But to be honest I don’t believe in all this. I just do it coz I get new dress and lots of selfies 😛

  1. “Do You Know Cooking?”10 Phases Of Life That Only A Girl From Odisha Can Relate To...

Now come the cooking phase. I don’t know why people think that being girls, means she can cook delicious foods. It like we were given training how to cook from our mother’s womb. Odia girls are always instructed to learn cooking as soon as possible. Along with that there is a dialogue too that I bet goes in every household, “learn cooking as soon as possible otherwise your mother-in law would curse me after your marriage.”

  1. “Rajo 3 Days”= “Jannat”10 Phases Of Life That Only A Girl From Odisha Can Relate To...

I guess u didn’t get the above words. Well we have another festival named “Rajo” based on girls. Basically this is a 3 days festival where girls are treated like “queens”. We get new dresses, special dishes, play swing and many more things. Even we are instructed not to touch our feet on ground too. It’s like days in heaven for us. Lucky we J

  1. “Brothers First”10 Phases Of Life That Only A Girl From Odisha Can Relate To...

Well I hate this one. This kind of mentality sucks. But it’s common in odisha. We are always told to adjust with everything. There is a mantra of happy household in odisha, i.e. your brother comes first. It doesn’t matter what is that thing but your brother is always privileged to have it.

  1. Don’t Utter The Word “Boys”

This one sucks too. Basically people of odisha have a narrow mentality. So from our birth we are told to be aware of the things called “boy”. They are highly dangerous for health so maintaining distance is the only solution. You can’t eat with them, can’t sit with them, can’t dance with them, can’t roam and can’t even see them or else you might get more dangerous dieses than “AIDS”

  1. Trained To Be Best Housewives10 Phases Of Life That Only A Girl From Odisha Can Relate To...

This is free course that all odia girls receive from childhood. They are trained to be the no.1 housewives of all time. Basically that’s how parents in odisha think like. They think the only destination for a girl is their family in-laws house.

  1. “Dad= God”10 Phases Of Life That Only A Girl From Odisha Can Relate To...

Well this feeling is for all the girls of the world. But as much I have seen, for odia girls only one god exists i.e. their father. No one is better than him and no one even stands in the race with him. To our every problem, every breakdown there is one and only solution: our father. He is like a wizard who takes away all our pain in a single moment. We love them like anything and I won’t forget him ever..ever…

Ladies, Holding on the idea of the woman you thought you should be?

0

We all are unique and it is this uniqueness that defines who we are. The uniqueness of each of us is reflected in what we do first thing in the morning, how we look at our homes just before leaving, how we live the day and how at the end of it some of us choose to sit on the balconies sipping a cup of tea/coffee, some choose to go to beach and some party. There is absolutely nothing in being what we are. The bottom line is we need to and we should love ourselves in all form, all shapes and sizes and all shades. Sounds quiet idealistic right? Bet you were looking at your phone waiting for someone to call!

Well, nothing to be embarrassed about as this is all of us. All the girls out there. But have you ever wondered how it would feel like to stop for a minute and think as to why we are seeking acceptance from someone else? After all we are just bones and skins or basically humans put into simple words who are here living our lives. Are the jobs not hard enough that we are putting more pressure on us? This is correctly defined in a recent video gone viral by Sarah Kay in her brutally true poem “The Type”. In this she has made a very valid point saying that are you still holding to the girl you wanted to be? A little thinner, fairer, funnier? Are you wishing that he would come back? But let us ponder over one fact, why do you want something to come back? Would you reuse the jeans that tore apart again no matter how much you loved it? No, right? So why go back to a person?  Check it out below.

After watching this, it makes one wonder whether “the type of person you wanted to be” wants to be you? May be you are much better than that thought. Look at the mirror and for just one time take a look at how far you have come. And please don’t stop there. You still have a very long way to go. Self-acceptance and acceptance of how things are currently rather than wondering how they should be is the key to happiness. If you don’t love yourself then who would? Be a person of confidence, improve on your skills. Life is more than just looking picture perfect dear! It is about growing into a better self than you were yesterday.

Apply makeup if it is what you want and not impress someone else. Because at the night when you are asleep it is all going to come off by self and then you would want someone to be with you in your natural form. Whoever said that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, he could not have been more accurate.

Protection Of Women Under Indian Constitution

1

The Constitution of India prohibits discrimination based on sex but it equally directs and empowers the government to undertake special measures for women. Though the position of women has improved in the last four decades, but still they are struggling to maintain their dignity and freedom. Presently Indian women are facing the toughest time mentally and physically, mainly due to unawareness and lack of knowledge of legal and constitutional rights of a woman. The Constitution provides many protection rights for women such as Protective discrimination in favour of women, Right to freedom of women, Right of women against exploitation, Rights of women under directives and political representations of women. All these rights are explained below.

  1. PROTECTIVE DISCRIMINATION AND WOMEN

Protection Of Women Under Indian Constitution

The Preamble to the Constitution resolved to secure all its citizens, including equality of status and opportunity while Articles 14 to 18 and 39 provide for Right to equality and non-discrimination among men and women. Article 14 ensures that the state shall not deny to any person equality before law. It prohibits class legislation but permits reasonable classification. This is a very important provision that provides equal legal protection to women against any women-based crime. Article 15 (1) prohibits discrimination against any citizen based on religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth while Article 15 (3) permits ‘protective discrimination in favor of women according to which state can make special provision for women and the scope of this article is wide enough to cover the entire range of state activity including employment. Article 16 of the constitution of India ensures equal employment opportunities to every citizen of India.

  1. RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF WOMEN

Articles 19 to 22 of The Constitution of India provide a detailed scheme of Right to Freedom. Article 19 (1) guarantees 6 freedoms (speech and expression, assembly, association or unions, movements, residence, profession and occupation) for citizens with reasonable restrictions and Article 21 provides for Right to life and personal liberty of each and every person in India which includes Right to live with human dignity, right to livelihood, right to work, right to privacy, right against sexual harassment etc. The Indian Parliament also enacted The Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986 which prohibits indecent representation of women through advertisements, books, writings, paintings, figures films or any other manner. The Supreme Court also emphasized the need to provide a life of dignity to the sex workers in our country by giving them some technical skills through which they can earn their livelihood instead of by selling their bodies.

  1. RIGHTS OF WOMEN AGAINST EXPLOITATION

Protection Of Women Under Indian Constitution

Right against exploitation is recognized under Article 23 and 24 of the Constitution of India. Article 23 prohibits “traffic in human beings and beggar and other similar forms of labour”. The expression “traffic in human beings is evidently a very wide expression including the prohibition of traffic in women for immoral or other purposes. Also the Suppression of Immoral Traffic in Women and Girls Act, 1956 has been enacted with the object of inhibiting or abolishing the immoral trafficking of women and girls. Articles 21 & 23 also impose the duty on state to identify, release and rehabilitate freed bonded labourers. In Gaurav Jain vs. Union of India, the Supreme Court held that the children of the prostitutes have the right to equality of opportunity, dignity, care, protection and rehabilitation so as to be part of mainstream social life.

  1. RIGHTS OF WOMEN UNDER DIRECTIVES

Protection Of Women Under Indian Constitution

Directive principles of State policy under Articles 36 to 51 of the Constitution of India are fundamental in the governance of the country and it shall be the duty of the state to apply these principles in making laws. Under this various rights of women have been implemented through legislations. The Directive under Article 39(a) provides that the citizens, men and women equally have the right to an adequate means of livelihood and Article 39(d) ensures that there is equal pay for equal work for both men and women. The Parliament has enacted the Equal Remuneration Act, 1976 and to implement Article 39 (d). Article 42 of the Constitution provides that the state shall make provision for securing just and humane conditions for work and maternity relief and for this purpose the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 was enacted.

  1. POLITICAL REPRESENTATIONS OF WOMEN

Protection Of Women Under Indian Constitution

Article 40 of the Constitution which lay down that the state shall take steps to organize village panchayats and endow them with such powers and authority as may be necessary to enable them to function as units of self government. To realize the Directive the 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendments had sought to ensure a certain proportion of women as chair persons of panchayats. According to Article 243- D (3) and 243-T (3), not less than one third of the total number of seats to be filled by Directive election in every Panchayat/Municipality shall be reserved for women (including SCs AND STs). This opportunity of being a part of local level arbitration process has improved the social conditions of women in village areas.

Its high time we talk about Depression

0

Depression is a condition in which a person is overwhelmed by everything and not just some wrong thought process that one gets into and it is high time talked about it. Also it does effect ones body as well among other things. It can be a minor depression more like a set back caused due to have lost or not achieved anything or may be a big shock due to which a person might feel they have nothing left with.

You will be surprised to know that there is seasonal depression as well which is caused when the days are longer. In such cases it is advised to keep one self busy and hence we don’t get time to think about anything that saddens us. But this is not the right answer to the problem.There are so many things that we don’t know. Depression can also be caused by neurotic changes and because of anxiety issues. Doctors say that it can also be attributed to your gene structure but some part is definitely because of the individual’s behavior and his or her perspective.

Its high time we talk about Depression

Music can be a lot helpful in depression. Studies have shown that in a normal scenario, whatever you listen it tends to connect to you and turn your mood in the same direction. So the next time you feel low, turn up some solace genre and relax. Its high time we talk about Depression

This is a common misconception that medicines help in depression. There is no doubt in the fact that medicines do help. But depression is more of what we are thinking and how we deal with a situation. Medicines can only reduce your anxiety levels some what. But the effect will go sooner or later. What you will be left with is the self control and self motivation to push out the bad thoughts.

John Green, a very famous and successful writer that we are sure you also love. He has given us some great work in the form of “The Fault in Our Stars” and “Paper Towns” has also come out and talk about his depression and how he coped up with it. In his own words, he says “I take medication daily and have for many years. I also try to exercise a lot, because there’s some evidence that exercise lessens the symptoms of anxiety, and I try to use the strategies that I’ve learned in cognitive behavioral therapy to cope with my illness. But it’s a chronic illness and it hasn’t, like, gone into remission or anything for me. It’s something I live with, something that I’ve integrated into my life. And we all have to integrate stuff into our lives, whether it’s mental illness or physical disability or whatever. There is hope. There is treatment. You are not alone, and while I know the struggle feels at times completely hopeless and futile, there is a far shore for the vast majority of people, and I wish you the best.” Coming out about his anxiety issues must have taken a lot of guts. But this clearly gives a lot of inspiration to those who are caught up in this and are able to find no exit.
