The Roman Empire’s architectural prowess is best exemplified in its amphitheaters, colossal structures that hosted a variety of public spectacles. These structures, scattered across the empire’s vast territories, are not only feats of engineering but also historical landmarks that continue to fascinate. Here are ten of the most remarkable Roman Theatres:

The Colosseum, Rome, Italy

A quintessential symbol of imperial Rome, the Colosseum, though partially ruined by earthquakes and stone robbers, remains an iconic landmark. It is a major tourist attraction, drawing visitors worldwide. With an estimated capacity of 50,000 to 80,000 spectators, it was primarily used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles, including mock sea battles and mythological dramas. As the largest amphitheater ever built, the Colosseum stands as one of the greatest architectural and engineering works of antiquity. The Colosseum is the most visited Roman Theatres.

Verona Arena, Verona, Italy

Every year over 500,000 people see production of the popular operas in this Arena. Once capable of housing 20,000 patrons per performance, this arena has featured many of the world’s most notable opera singers. In 2011, the Bollywood movie ‘Rockstar’ directed by Imitiaz Ali, starring Ranbir Kapoor with the music composed by Academy award winner A. R. Rehman opens and closes with musical concerts shot here. It is one of the best preserved ancient structures of its kind.

Amphitheatre of El Jem, Tunisia

The Amphitheatre of El Jem, now a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a testament to the Roman Empire’s far-reaching influence. Many tourists come here to see what it is like to be inside what was once a place where lions and people met their fate. Much of it is crumbled but the essence of it still remains. The ruins of the amphitheater were declared a world heritage site in 1979. It hosts the annual festival International de Musique Symphonique d’EL Jem. It is also believe

Amphitheatre of Pompeii, Italy

The Amphitheatre of Pompeii is a site of historical significance and archaeological study. In 1971, it was the filming location for Pink Floyd’s concert film, ‘Live at Pompeii.’ Praised for its design, which modern crowd control experts find nearly optimal, it also inspired modern stadium bathroom designs with its neighboring Palaestra washrooms.

Pula Arena Roman Theatre, Croatia

The Pula Arena is unique as the only remaining Roman amphitheater with four side towers and all three Roman architectural orders fully preserved. It is among the six largest surviving Roman arenas and the best-preserved ancient monument in Croatia. This arena has been a venue for concerts and movies, including ‘Titus,’ and even hosted professional hockey games.

Uthina Amphitheatre, Tunisia

Located at the archaeological site of Oudna, the Uthina Amphitheatre is notable for its design, with seats adjoined to a slope and only the upper arcades visible above ground. Though not currently used as a theatre, it stands as a testament to Roman architectural ingenuity.

Arena of Nîmes, France

Following the fall of the Roman Empire, the Arena of Nîmes was fortified by the Visigoths. It underwent several transformations and now hosts two annual bullfights during the Feria de Nîmes, among other events. It has a capacity of 16,300 and features a movable cover and heating system since 1988.

Flavian Amphitheatre, Pozzuoli, Italy

As Italy’s third-largest Roman amphitheater, the Flavian Amphitheatre in Pozzuoli could accommodate up to 20,000 spectators. Its interior is largely intact, revealing the mechanical gears once used for lifting cages to the arena. Its design is reminiscent of the Colosseum, sharing architects.

Leptis Magna Amphitheatre, Khoms, Libya

The ruins of Leptis Magna, located in Khoms, Libya, are among the most impressive and unspoiled Roman ruins in the Mediterranean. Although there were rumors of its use for military purposes, NATO clarified that there was no confirmation of such activities.

Arles Amphitheatre, France

This two-tiered amphitheatre in Arles, a major tourist attraction, had to be scaled down from its original design due to unexpected limitations, impacting spectator capacity. Transformed into a fortress with four towers post the Roman Empire’s fall, it hosted its first event, a bull race, to celebrate the capture of Algiers. It’s one of the best theatres in the world.

Conclusion

These ten Roman amphitheaters, with their distinct histories and architectural features, continue to captivate and educate. They serve as enduring reminders of the Roman Empire’s architectural ambition and cultural influence, standing as proud symbols of a bygone era’s grandeur.

WILL THE CLAWS KEEP ON ATTACKING FOREVER..???

Hugh Jackman, the incredibly talented Australian actor, who has been portraying one of the longest fictional characters ever portrayed on-screen, carrying the role for more than a decade, confirmed that the upcoming, third Wolverine movie would be his final performance as the legendary x-man. Of course, that doesn’t mean an end for Wolverine himself. When it comes time to pass the torch, the adamantium claws, I believe these actors would be more than capable of taking on the mantle of Marvel’s most badass mutants and I personally feel these actors hold more chances of becoming the next Wolverine! In this article, let’s take a look at the male actors who, I believe, could take on the role of this iconic character…

10) Michael Shannon

Besides being almost indestructible, Wolverine is a deeply traumatised character whose emotional scars run deep and who better to bring out the wounded and primal side of this animal more than General Zod himself? Not really known for playing upbeat and civil kinds of characters, Michael Shannon’s roles in Man of Steel and 99 Homes can show that he can pull off ruthless and rage-filled roles, which is ideal when your character needs to go berserk at a moment’s notice. However the real appeal comes from how well he captures pain and loss, something integral to Logan, just as much as his brutality.

9) Scott Eastwood

Scott Eastwood is better known as a supporting actor in large-scale features like ‘fury’, ‘gran torino’ and ‘suicide squad’. The son of legendary actor, Clint Eastwood, could provide a fresh-faced for

the character providing Logan with a more youthful look. We’ve seen hints that he can play a rather beaten and violent individual in smaller roles but given the chance, we think he could reinvigorate the aged X-Man. He’s young enough to play Wolverine at almost any point in his life so he could be brought in into any timeline with relative ease.

8) Michiel Huisman

He made us fall in love with Daario Naharis in “Game of Thrones”. So why not give a shot at him essaying the Wolverine? As Daario Naharis, he showed off that he’s very much at home. With effortless charm and kicking all kinds of ass which is what Wolverine does on a minute-to-minute basis we have no doubt that he could also bring some of the more sombre aspects of the character to life. But in all honesty, we just love to see him breaking some heads letting out snide remarks and more than likely betting one of his fellow X-Ladies before the day is done. Besides he’s already got the hair down.

7) Scott Adkins

The majority of this actor tends to lean towards the b-movie side of things. His most well-known role, being that of Russian fighter “Yuri Boyka” in the “Undisputed Franchise”. Why would we throw him in the ring for a chance to take on the Wolverine style? Because the man is an absolute beast! His fighting prowess and physique can’t be denied. You needn’t look any further than his fight scenes to show that he could easily bring out the Canadian death machine’s most violent side. Throw in a set of claws and I think Adkins would rack up quite the cinematic body count.

6) Charlie Hunnam

As Jackson in Sons of Anarchy, we were presented with a deeply flawed human being, who, despite his bad decisions and tendency to find himself on the wrong side of the law was willing to do anything for his family. In Pacific Rim, we were given a natural leader whose determination and charisma never fell out of place, despite the light-hearted feel at the movie. All-in-all Adam knows how to portray a broken character and knows how to have fun too. That’s the recipe for Wolverine if we ever heard one.

5) Karl Urban

He’s already breathe new life into one iconic badass, so why not another? Urban has already shown what his talent is, in cinematic masterpiece like The Lord of the Rings trilogy as well as reboots like star trek series. But we really have to throw light on his interpretation of ‘Dredd’, the role that finally gave the gritty futuristic judge the respect it deserved. The darkness of the character is stone-cold approach to killing and his ability to speak to the source material, Urban just keeps ticking the boxes of what would make a great Wolverine. In fact he’s one of the few that we think could actually pull off the characters.

4) Joel Edgerton

This actor has more than proved he’s a Hollywood heavyweight. With roles like ‘black mass’ and ‘The Gift’, reflecting that he can play a tormented soul working on the fringe of society. Fully encapsulating the lone wolf element of Wolverine, the role that really brings him to the forefront is that of ‘Colin’ in ‘Warrior’. He showed that he can not only bulk up to an obscene degree but also that even the nicest of guys can be a badass. It’s pretty much sure that if he is to slip into Logan’s shoes, then we would get a character just as likely to reflect on past pains as he is to snap a man into half.

3) Richard Armitage

You might know him for his towering performance as the short statured Thorin Oakenshield in The Hobbit trilogy. But what showed that he could easily channel the flawed hero archetype is his work on the small screen and that is where he really shines. He fluctuated between sinister and sympathetic as Guy of Gisborne and Robin Hood and was downright terrifying as Francis Dolarhyde in ‘Hannibal’. As far as portraying men with shattered like, he’s trying to contain their inner monsters, he has quite the extensive list of qualifications and we’d be more than happy for him to let Wolverine out of the cage.

2) Tom Hardy

This man has brought all roles he has ever portrayed to life and put his own stellar spin on each of these real-life and fictional icons and I feel that his take on the Wolverine would be no different. Look no further than the ‘Dark Knight Rises’ and ‘Warrior’ where he broke all kinds of bones. Of course he’s got the charm to match and seeing Tom Hardy with a pair of adamantium claws would be a pretty terrific epic!

1) Hugh Jackman

Hugh Jackman still is Wolverine. Might sound a let down? Well..it’s just that I’m not prepared to see my favourite actor from giving up the crown just yet. For over a decade, he’s been tearing bad guys apart and setting the trend for other superheroes to follow. He is one of the few people we have to thank for the current explosion of quality superhero films and it’s almost criminal to have to see him go right as the jar is beginning to peak, especially now that Deadpool has finally entered the arena.

Thus the claws aren’t meant to come in for one last time! We need them to hit out for more and entertain us as they have been doing for past decade. Perhaps someone from the list above mentioned, will still continue to fill the shoes of the legendary superhero! For, the claws are never meant to be down and will sprout out at any moment!

In Love With My Best Friend

kellybrown

January 15, 2017

According to Hindi movies girls always fall in love with the right guy, their kind of guy, but reality is not always this veridical, we don’t always fall for the hero. Or may be the hero doesn’t seem like a hero. Even when heroine falls for the villain kind of guy, he changes the very course of his life just to be with the heroine. Eternal love huh, but does this happen in real life? I would totally disagree, or maybe I am genetically mutant.

“We don’t choose who we fall in love with; neither we have the capability to decipher what is right and what is wrong.”

When we fell in love with someone their flaws became inconspicuous and we are only able to see the optimism in the person, which makes it even more inconceivable for us to prevent our self from falling for them.

We fall in love with the person who is all right and all wrong at the same time, and you know you love them except sometimes they drive you completely insane; no one can explain it. And the reason is that love is perplexing, because it is love if it didn’t have hurdles then what will be the point?

This is exactly what happened with me, after being best friends with him for more than two years, we went a little further. We both knew this for a while but never had the courage to actually tell the other person, it was just that the feelings have been there but actually saying the words would make it all the more real. Which we both weren’t ready for!!

Now when I look back I can’t seem to decide if that exceptional trip was the best trip I ever had, or maybe not. It was the best because those were the days when he and I had a chance to be with each other, without any disturbance from anyone or anything. We weren’t alone; we were with another couple, so giving them privacy was a very good way to get privacy our self.

The moments that we spent their will be the moments I will always cherish my entire life, I guess he will too. Holding his hands, being in his arms, getting pampered, softness of his lips, warmth of his body and his fragrance, will be certain things I will never lose hold off.

Those were the most memorable days of my entire life experience not that that I had much, but once you came close to one another, it becomes really difficult to actually go back to what we always were- BEST FRIENDS.

Just because we are friends and we know each other to the very core, we love each other to the maximum limits possible, and have been intimate with each other, don’t mean we can carry our relationship. As “two wrongs don’t make a right”, two emotionally deprived people can’t say together.

It’s not like we didn’t loved each other before going on the vacation, it was just that we were never single at the same time. We did have a longing for each other since a long time, but we were just suppressing it. Somehow we thought that it will spoil everything between us, we were too good as friends that we didn’t wanted anything to plunder that between us, even- LOVE.

So that was how I got to the consummation that may be the time spent on the trip deteriorated what little we had between us, because it was so difficult on being friends and impossible to be in a relationship. “But few days spent with the love of your life are far greater then living in oblivion”. And thus I will never be able to decipher if what happened was good or not, but whatever it was, they were the most splendiferous days of my entire being. After all what’s their not to like, every girl likes affection, love, pampering from the person they love. I had that for two complete days, only to realize that I will never have it again in my entire life.

Yes, being in love with the one person you entrusted with all your secrets can be the greatest thing you can ever have in your lifetime. But you just know when it’s not meant to be, and there is no point in trying. The same was the case with us; we came to a point together only to go back the distance our separate ways. We were always there for each other in the time of crisis, and now when we are in the most fucked up situation ever possible, we had to get out of the situation on our own.

This all wasn’t easy for us, but we had to do this we didn’t had any choice. If we would have gone with what we felt at that moment, it might have turned into the most disastrous thing ever possible or maybe not but it would have deterred the most precious thing that we both cared for our- FRIENDSHIP.

“A guy and a girl can be just friends, but at one point or another they will fall for each other, may be temporarily, may be at the wrong time, may be too late or may be forever. May be it was just temporary for us. Period.”

Jammu – Story that Needs to be Told

kellybrown

January 15, 2017

I am from Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir. I have been living outside of my city for years now. But what I have experienced in the past few years has definitely been an eye-opener. People outside of J&K consider Jammu and Kashmir to be the same cities. I have been answering questions as simple as “Does it snow in Jammu?” and as intense as “How bad is the situation back in Jammu?”

It hurts me too much. So, I guessed, it’s only fitting if we put out the truth for everyone to know. We all deserve clarity.

Is this what we have become? Presuming the condition of a state half of us have never even been to? I agree it is a human tendency to assume things based on any knowledge they gather about a situation but isn’t being curious to gain full knowledge about a topic, also a human tendency?

We see an article about a celebrity’s pregnancy and we’re googling names that fit the baby. A cricketer tweeted about being on dinner – the media interviews the restaurant staff to know what he’s eating. Everything and anything that has nothing to do with the common man’s life is being shown and talked about. But what about the more important stuff? What about the houses burnt in Bengal or the situation in Jammu and Kashmir? Does anyone know the entire story? Does anyone even bother knowing what parts of the state are being even remotely affected? Is anyone curious enough to know in which district does the epicenter lie?

People only know what the media shows and that is how it has always been. Of course we rely on media, it’s our source of information to distant parts of the world. But believing that what we are being shown is the entire truth is idiocy.

A lot happens what we know nothing about. A lot happens that the media does not bother telecasting. Hence, we are told half the story and the rest half is left to our imaginations. To give a brief example, how many of you believe that Jammu is in the same condition as is in Kashmir? How many of you know that Jammu has been peaceful all this time? The tricolor has never been used as a washcloth in Jammu. Jammu does not see a curfew as we speak. The riots in Kashmir have not reached Jammu.

We don’t know the whole story, we rely blindly on what is being told to us. Assuming a state has completely given into something that is destroying its integrity is mindless. Curiosity is a must in today’s world. It’s high time we use it for the right reasons.

Want to Find Your Soul- Varanasi Welcomes You!

kellybrown

January 15, 2017

It’s been 20 years since I am living in this Holy city and every year has been magical! Varanasi, Kashi, Banaras, can call by any name you want but even a shortest visit to this place can give you a lot of memories. Well mind you, that memory can be as pleasing as river Ganges or as horrible as getting robbed because Varanasi is famous for their Con men too!

Being the spiritual capital of India, you will find a worship place at every nook and corner of this city. Anyways, this is not why the city is called spiritual. Ask yourself “what does spiritual means to me?” The answer could vary among every individual. Let me give you a few instances. Does spiritual means connection with God to you, or is it love? Is it food or music? Or is it getting high on weed or simply watching a sunrise at a river bank? Your answer could be any but according to me spiritual means anything which makes you happy and keeps your soul calm. It can be visiting a temple or just have your favourite food with a bunch of friends. This city can give you anything to help your soul put back in its right place.

So the question comes from where to begin your day in Varanasi?

If you are an early bird then well and good, if not, then come on, just a day, it’ll be jolly (I promise!). Loose fitting clothes, a cap and loafers make perfect attire. Try reaching the Ganges river bank before 5 am. One bank will be long stretch of ancient monuments and temples, each having a significant history behind it. These are known as “Ganga Ghats”. The other bank you see across the river is called Ramnagar, the place where kings and queens of Varanasi used to live (Ramnagar Fort). Coming back to the Ghats, grab a cup of tea, walk till you find a quiet place on stairs to sit, take deep breath and relax. The only sound you can hear will be of the blowing wind and chirping birds and flute music if someone is playing nearby. Wait for the sunrise.

Now don’t grab your DSLR or phone to take a picture. Instead close your eyes and feel the sunrays. After all you are here for the purpose of finding your soul not to capture sunrise! You can sit for hours there if you wish to or take a boat ride across the river. I bet you must be feeling hungry. Welcome to the largest local market of Varanasi- Gadauliya! The roadside shops offer you with typical Uttar Pradesh breakfast like Chola Bhature, Samosa, Kachauri, etc. Now, if you are a religious person, then don’t miss visiting the famous Vishwanath Temple, if not then just take a tour inside Vishwanath Gali.

Personally I believe Vishwanath Gali is the most confusing network of roads, constructed ages ago and in such a way that every turn looks the same. Trust me if you are lost, not even GPS can help you, but only the localites! The funniest moment will be if you are walking and a giant bull comes in your way, rather I would say you came in his way cause he’s not going to move anywhere back, oh these narrow passages!
Let’s assume you got out of Vishwanath Gali by evening, depending on what type of person you are an enthusiastic extrovert or a self-indulging introvert, can choose your way. Well I would say if you are an extrovert should try Varanasi’s popular intoxicating drink ‘Bhang’ and spend some time with yourself and your thoughts, might find some answers within yourself. On the other hand if you are an introvert, better you go back to Ghat and prepare yourself for the grand Aarti of the river (at Dasaswamedh Ghat). It starts sharply by 7, no matter of the season. A huge crowd gathers for this and even if you are an introvert a positive vibe flows into you just by hearing the constant ringing of bells and looking at the beautiful way of tribute to Ganges, might ring a bell in your mind too. Well it’s up to you, it’s your choice where to go and what to do. Of course the entire city cannot be covered in a day!

I hope your day really ends with finding yourself, rediscovering and improving yourself. There is no particular season or time to visit Varanasi. But yeah, if you are a tourist then visiting during festival of Vijaya Dashmi and Dev Deepawali are my personal favourites. Don’t forget to indulge yourself in sweet dishes like Rabdi and Rasmalai!
This is one place in India which even if you visit alone, loneliness will never cross your path. Wish you have an amazing time and a lot of memories.

YOGA, Hope for A HEALTHY ERA

kellybrown

January 15, 2017

Have you ever gotten up feeling tired and had to work throughout the day? Do the people around you or circumstances seem too overbearing? Try yoga! Research proves that it has revolutionary impacts.

JUNKIE FOOD CONSUMPTION

Fast paced and precise rhythm, that life today thrives on, leaves no place for an elaborate healthy meal that can cater to body needs without the cure of being excess. Food today is a quickie because of less time to prepare or lack of need to savour the taste of ingredients or callous behavioural habits.
To remedy the ailments that this loophole called food is giving way to, the potential threats that modern oils, synthetic spices or genetically manufactured vegetables provide to our body, YOGA is the answer. It strengthens our internal organs and spurs the body to eliminate the excess nutrients or toxics maintaining a healthy equilibrium.
Dhanur Asan helps to eliminate all the gastrointestinal troubles while Halasan strengthens the liver. Chakrasan and Bakrasan play a colossal role in fat burning.

PHYSICAL FITNESS

A healthy mind rests in a healthy body. Through simple YOGA moves the body can be trained to appear attractive, function attentively and radiate exuberance.
Good height can be triggered through Taad Asan while Shirsha Asan and Bakrasan ensure a streamlined and balanced body causing you to be the talk of the town! Sarvangasan pumps the circulation of body throughout the spine strengthening the back muscles, increasing the receptivity of nerves, helping attain erect posture, removing hunch back. Halasan removes lethargy making one energetic. Thus adding appeal to personality.
IMPROVES APPEARANCE: A significant cause of worry in our age is ‘appearance’. People aspire to look youthful and agile, which often lands them on the cosmetic surgeon’s work table. Laughter being the best medicine; YOGA seconds it, as a simple and handy way of defeating ageing or wrinkles. Working out calories through a heady run isn’t possible for all people but to sit and meditate or to control breathing to attain a glowing, refreshed and lively body and skin is definitely a thing to do. Shavansan, Adho Mukha Svanasan and Padamasan ensure dynamic facial glow.

YOGA and DYNAMISM

Interesting thing about yoga is that there is no asana with a single benefit. Each asana heals multiple problems across the body. A regular schedule with yoga a part can act as a shield to million ailments-chronic or acute. It restores potential to the trio- mind, soul and body.

THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS

Setuasan has a miraculous effect on chronic backache. Pavan Mukt Asan elevates constipation. Vajara Asan helps in powerful digestive system alongside giving a new vigour to nervous system. Paschimottaan Asan helps relieve menstrual pain or back pain, liver problems, piles and obesity. Dhanur Asan cures rheumatism and pain in elbow joints and palm joints.
Liver is the metabolism centre of the body. It helps regulate blood glucose level and cholesterol breakdown; preventing major risks of myocardial infractions and mental retardation by regulating the osmotic pressure of brain cells (astar cells ). Mayura Asan keeps liver in health along side preventing indigestion.

BEGINNER’S EXERCISES

Pranayama: The most effective set of exercises that helps regulate breathing, thinking and understanding. Analom- vilom, Bhramri and Kapal bhatin are an integral part. By simple modulation in breathing can initiate the production of stress reducing hormones, joy inspiring hormones, hormonal regulation and much more.
Suraya namashkar: It is a cycle of 12 simple steps as a salutation to the Sun. They ensure an all round warm up and revitalization of all receptors. Sets you in a hyper drive of energy, making you feel invincible and optimistic.

PEACE OF MIND

Starting your day with the solemn chanting of Om has the potential to shake your senses and make you feel anew. It is rejuvenating. The vibrations travel throughout the body stimulating all the nerve endings YOGA helps you channelize your thoughts and energy helping you combat the daily Life hurdles and yet keep your focus.
REDUCING CRIMES: Crime germinates on the lands of unstable emotional or familial grounds. One can’t be expected remain poised in crisis but if individuals have the inner strength to combat their inner demons, there is no defeating them. To rise above adversity, is the best revenge. An yoga provides us with a bower of mental calm that helps us take justified and calculated actions.
SOCIAL BONDS: Relationships today are standing on quivering grounds. Who is to be blamed? The hectic schedules… never ending competition… or the mad single mindedness to excel? But knowing the culprit won’t change a thing. We need to change a few things here and there about the way we operate to bring the change. We need to make the effort to strengthen bonds. Give your mind the freedom and quality time to access and correct our actions. For all the haste has created the chasm that we need to diminish through thoughts, words and deed. Yoga can help clear the mind to possibilities and provide us the much needed far-farsightedness. It connects the world for it lacks the language that breeds discrimination. It thrives on the will power to unite the world.
[beautifulquote align=”full” cite=””]YOGA in Sanskrit is a term to define the ‘Divine Union’. But it isn’t about Divine only rather Union or should we say understanding; it is a way to reach a state of mind and health wherein one can make decisions to make a difference to his/her life. A place of union of body, mind and soul; a place where you can put your thought and assign yourself the action plan to breathe life into your aspirations through a goal oriented stable mind and a trained body.
Excellence today is the key factor to take on the world but don’t let it be a target to achieve, make it the way to live. YOGA promises it all; Let’s just give it a try this year![/beautifulquote]

Skincare is something which is a very important part of our daily regimen. Not only women but even men want to have a clear and glowing complexion.

Having a great skin is very essential because it adds confidence onto your personality.

Today we will hover onto some tips and tricks you must follow to have a gorgeous skin.

1: CTM

We all wish to live in a clean lace, right? The same way our skin wishes to be clean. A clean skin will become healthy skin & hence give Natural Glow. In fact cleansing is one of the most effective ways of removing dirt, dust & dead layer of cells from your skin.

Cleansing, toning & moisturizing are very important. In fact these are the first step to a clear complexion.

You must cleanse, tone and moisturize your skin at least twice a day.If you just make CTM a part of your routine, you would have a healthy skin.

2: Take proper sleep

A good night’s sleep is very important for our body and mind to feel healthy, fresh and active.

I can’t even stress on how important sleep is to beautify your skin. If you don’t take proper sleep it will reflect on to your skin . Your skin definitely needs the beauty sleep.

3: Vitamin C

Vitamin c is the greatest gift that you can give to your skin. A vitamin c serum adds gloss and shine to your skin. It brings life to your skin.

There are many affordable vitamin c serums in market like Body Shop’s, Kiehl’s, etc. Also incorporate vitamin C rich food items in your diet like orange, lemon, lime so that you get a dose of it both externally and internally.

4: Vitamin E

You can increase the antioxidant by taking vitamin E rich fruit or capsules available in the market. But you should consider using more and more natural food.
Another great tip for having great skin is vitamin E. You can either buy vitamin E moisturizer or cut the vitamin E capsules and squeeze the oil out of it. Now apply it on your face. This can definitely do wonders for your skin.

5: Water

Water is life and the same goes for your skin. If you want youthful skin make water your best friend. Drink at least 8-9 glasses of water everyday. Whatever you apply on your face, if you do not drink water your skin will not be hydrated and will lack the lustre.

6: Sunscreen

Difference between sunblock and sunscreen:

I will give a very short and simple explanation here.

Sunscreen & Sunblock are not the same. In general, sun block is referred to the broad spectrum sunscreens which block both UVA and UVB rays while sunscreen is the one that protects against UVA only. Although, now a days almost all sunscreens/sunblocks protect against both rays but it will still be useful to read the label first.

I cannot even emphasize how important sunscreen is in our daily regimen. If you do not wear sunscreen the sun will definitely worsen your skin. You will have pigmentation, tanning, rough skin and even hypersensitivity.

One great tip for people who have very oily skin and can’t find a suitable sunscreen is to go for water resistant sunscreen and if you sweat a lot after applying sunscreen then add some rose water onto the sunscreen, and then apply it on your face. You won’t have to worry thereafter.

7: Face Mask\Face pack

Twice in a week you must apply face pack on to your face. This triggers the dirt deep inside from your skin. You can use both hydrating and tightening face masques.

8: Scrubbing

Scrubbing is very important for your skin to get rid of dead skin cells.Twice in a week you must scrub your face to slough down the dead skin cells and reveal a clear complexion.

Scrubbing is a good idea for oily skin. It removes the dirt and keeps the pores clean. Make a simple scrub at home of masoor dal and rose water. If you are making it in winters, add a spoon of malai to give some added moisture.

So these were some valuable tips for the skin you always desired. Remember a right skincare regimen is as important as finding a right partner.

Break up? Let’s move on.

DEEP BREATHING, DEEP BREATHING! Whoooooooooo Phewwwwwwwwww… She continued to do as advised.
“It is only a breakup! Try to calm down”
“How? It is like somebody stuck a knife into my throat. I am incapable of breathing. The world is spinning!!”
“It always did, only you were ignorant”
“I guess that’s it. I was IGNORANT” and subtly she made it all her fault and slipped into her comfortable wear just to snuck into bed on a beautiful spring evening.

Is there a reason why a girl feels so many emotions at the same moment when boys are gifted with the emotional range of a teaspoon? Well nobody can answer that without being a feminist. So this question at this juncture is irrelevant. Let’s rephrase.

After a heart break, is there some magical way to flip all our inner dilemma into something productive and move on with correcting the mistakes(if made any) in the past relationships? Hands down, there obviously is (at least that’s what my experience and Carrie Bradshaw says).

No binge eating:

As much as we crave for a double choco chip dark chocolate sundae, there are so many alternatives in its place to actually make you feel better by releasing those ‘make good feel’ hormones. It is completely alright to invest in chocolates as they say it cures depression but to totally shift to a diet which is so harsh to those darling curves is being rude to your own body. Incorporate fruits and salad in your diet. They are a healthy and low fat substitute which leave your skin glowing and your body bloat free.

No dark rooms and crying:

Why shut all the colours behind the blinds and sob for the person who is entirely clueless about your situation? As much as we girls believe in ‘letting it all out’, there are a few others who focus on spending all this energy into something productive. Weeping to some extent makes one feel good but also leaves the skin in a pretty bad shape. Get out, make plans, and go adventuring.

Stop blaming and love yourself:

Those questions WHY, WAS IT MY FAULT, WE COULD HAVE BEEN… etc., do occur after a jilt but they should not be entertained. Be a level headed smart woman, who has her issues under control. Do not let your insecurities get the best of you. Have a positive attitude, let go and believe in the universe’s plan.

Do not be afraid to fall in love again:

Love is a beautiful feeling and what if one did not respect it or you two broke up? There is always a reason why it did not workout and a sign that it’s time to get adept to a much evolved feeling of love from a better person or to be perfectly single and discover oneself. It’s up to you girl! As long as you respect yourself, make it a point to look pretty for yourself, walk with head held high and keep all the negative vibes out, it would indicate that you are dealing with your love life-crisis pretty and well.

In the end I would like to quote Shakespeare,
“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind”.

So the question comes from where to begin your day in Varanasi?

Have you ever gotten up feeling tired and had to work throughout the day? Do the people around you or circumstances seem too overbearing? Try yoga! Research proves that it has revolutionary impacts.

YOGA and DYNAMISM

Interesting thing about yoga is that there is no asana with a single benefit. Each asana heals multiple problems across the body. A regular schedule with yoga a part can act as a shield to million ailments-chronic or acute. It restores potential to the trio- mind, soul and body.
