In addition, it also teaches us to never take any bond for granted and value every relationship in our lives.

Be Kind!

Firstly, this show entirely revolves around all the characters evolving from their different experiences.
In addition, it even conveys the message to be kind and polite with the people around us.
From the discussion of different support groups to Randall’s therapy session, one realises the power of kindness and accepting oneself.

“If at some point in your life, you find a way to show somebody else the same kindness that your parents showed you, that’s all the present I’ll need“- Dr. Nathan Katowski

Love unconditionally

Secondly, it shows pure and unconditional love through different bonds.
The main reason why this show really captures one is, because of the power of emotions in it.
Moreover, it displays real love that requires adjustments, sacrifices and understanding.

this show is a bit emotional but beautiful

For instance, Jack’s love towards his family and especially wife, Rebecca, made us realise what true love actually is.

“You find your soul mate, you get married, you stay together until you die. Period.” – Jack

Moreover, the love from parents has been displayed in its true sense.

“When you’re a mom, you get a front row seat to the best show in town: watching your kids grow up.”
— Rebecca

Look at the bigger picture!

This show really adds a beautiful part to one’s life through its dialogues or a character’s storyline.
Importantly, it gives its viewers a sense of meaning to different aspects of live. Just like an ordinary mystery and romantic story, it has its twists and cute moments. However, the touch of the difficulties and realities, makes it different from any other story.
It makes one look at the larger view of life and think how one little word or action can cause a great impact.
Not only this, but it also pushes us to look at the bigger view as parents too:

We’re their parents. We do the best we can. But at the end of the day what happens to them, how they turn out, that’s bigger than us.
— Jack

ACCEPTANCE IS IMPORTANT!

This show seems so realistic that almost all of us can relate to at least one character! Moreover, the plot is so dynamic and wide that it covers almost every aspect of a normal life. From every kind of relationships to every problem (be it, anxiety or cancer), it includes it all.

The most important message it gives us is to ACCEPT. It shows complexities and differences to make us accept every kind of person, situation and problem in our lives. And most importantly, ourselves.

“This is us” teaches us to be accepting towards our body, mind and bonds with people around. In addition, it also makes us realise how important it is to work upon ourselves and our relationships with others.

Moreover, apart from every aspect and message, it is a great guide for parents too! It makes every parent realise that every child is different and has their own capabilities. In addition, it makes them accept their child’s choices in life.

There is never a time when one has no tasks pending and none coming up. Even the moment when one has finished all the pending things, a new one appears out of nowhere. Moreover, not only work related things but there are many personal or family related things, as well. The goal is to manage things in such a way that there is no pressure and perform every task effectively. Here, TO-DO LIST comes into the picture!

perform every task in an organised way. — It is time to be as organised as Amy!

But…what is a TO-DO LIST?!

Firstly, when one has a lot in their plate, it is very normal to forget some things. To-Do list is basically a list of a number of tasks that are to be completed. It helps to have a collective mindset and not forget the things to be done.

Secondly, it requires commitment. Commitment is the most important essence of this list. It is because a person with no commitment can end up making a list daily and do absolutely nothing about it. This destroys the very essence of the list.

Importantly, one should not make their life a huge To-Do list and sit in a corner doing nothing to tick it off. To-Do list is not a mere arrangement of multiple things. Rather, it is much wider. It is a process of recognising what is to be done and ticking it off as soon as possible.

It can best work if added to the routine! A habit like a To-Do list helps one to be more productive and organised. Moreover, it can prove to be a great tool to manage busy days and balance different aspects of life (personal and professional).

If you are looking for something more about this list or why is it useful, here are some of its benefits!

Benefits of a TO-DO list!

TO-DO list provides clarity!

Organising and maintaining this list gives one a clear guide of the day.
In other words, it presents the tasks of the day in an articulate manner.
Moreover, one is able to mentally subtract the tasks of least importance while preparing the list.
It prevents the chaotic and unclear thoughts of the day and brightens the day with better organisation and focus!

Helps one remember every task

To-Do list enables one to have a complete list of all the due tasks. In other words, it makes it possible for one to remember every thing that is left to do.
Moreover, nowadays there are many applications that enable one to make a modern check off list and get consistent reminders, as well. For instance, GOOGLE TASKS. It is amazing to work with. In addition, it gives constant reminders at the time one selects.
However, written lists are the best. When things are written, it enables to remember better and have a better form of record.
In other words, it aids the memory. One can reduce the tension to remember EVERYTHING of their day!
Many a time, one is too involved in a task that the rest of the things completely slip out of the mind. Thus, TO-DO list makes it possible to have a collective objective in the form of a list.

A good planning tool

Firstly, maintaining this list is a great planning strategy. It enables one to manage the tasks more effectively.
As the process of planning leaves space for the uncertain occurrences of the future, TO-DO list allows to cooperate a contingent task too. Since, it gives one a list of all the things that have to be done, one can adjust new things in a better way.
Moreover, making the list at the start of the day gives the sense of planning a productive day.

Helps to PRIORITISE

When a list of all the due works is presented collectively, one can easily decide the order of importance of each. Thus, this list enables one to prioritise the work!
Moreover, one can easily rank the order of the tasks to do as per their urgency and importance. This is the best way to choose between different tasks. The criteria of urgency and importance allows one to select the major tasks first and then do the leftover ones.
In addition, for the days when the time to do something productive is less, one can easily select top three or four important task and leave the others for the next day.
As a result, it helps to have better focus on things that are important.

Makes one self-motivated

The feeling of checking off all the tasks at the end of the day is a true source of happiness!
Importantly, it works as a motivational tool too.
More tasks one checks off, more is the boost of confidence.
TO-DO list helps one to have a track of self growth and witness the progress. It is more like a personal tool to organise things and have a better clarity.
In addition, it gives a sense of accomplishment.
Hence, it reduces stress and increases motivation!

Better productivity

As it helps to prioritise and manage better, a lot of time is saved!
This helps to use the left time in a productive activity.
Moreover, it even saves more time as the time to think about the tasks that one must have forgotten, is also saved.
Hence, TO-DO list saves the time of mental distractions and offers one an opportunity to make the best of their time.

Things to taken care of:

Be realistic with the deadlines and the number of tasks.
Be committed.
Add timeline and deadlines to work better but leave some gap to be flexible with the uncertainties.
Always divide big tasks into bits, YOU CANNOT DO IT ALL AT ONCE.
Get the motivation to do better each day and do not gain over confidence!
Always keep in mind that there is always an uncertain part because of the future. So, leave some time and space for that!

To conclude…

Just like every other thing, a TO-DO list has its own pros and cons. It is a very essential tool as discussed above. However, there are times when new things or interruptions occur and the list becomes of no use.

The TO-DO list should be made in such a way that it has details of the task and the deadlines, as well. One should use it as a good habit to be more productive and effective. Moreover, it helps to organise things in a better way and lead a less chaotic life!

Why not start writing a list of your due works from tomorrow?

Also, always be easy on yourself whenever you begin to have one! It becomes a habit in no time. It is to reduce your stress, not to add to it!

Self-care contains many things from proper mental needs to physical and social needs. Taking care of one’s body is as necessary as keeping the mind healthy and calm! One of the most exposed and neglected thing about the body is the hair. Many of us expose it to the outside environment, that is, pollution and dust, A LOT. We think applying the most expensive shampoo or conditioner would treat it but oiling never crosses the mind! Here is everything you need to know about oiling your hair.

WHEN TO APPLY IT?

Usually, it is recommended not to leave oil on hair for more than 6-8 hours. But not everybody gets time to apply oil a night before or are comfortable with it. If you choose to apply oil overnight, always wash it off well because oil can attract dust too and removing it can become difficult at one go.

However, if you have dandruff or a very dry scalp, you should oil your hair more often. In addition, you should choose your oil according to your hair type.

On the other hand, you can apply oil for 30 minutes in the morning before washing your hair. Moreover, if you have enough time you can leave it for 2-3 hours, as well.

Also, always apply it to the scalp first and then from roots to ends!

Important tips for hair-care!

Firstly, never use a comb or brush after oiling. It leads to hair breakage and hair fall. Try to detangle your hair before oiling or after shampoo when your hair are dry.
Secondly, choosing the right oil for yourself is very important! Know your hair and its need and choose it, accordingly. The right type would help you with hair-repair, promote hair growth and nourish your hair. (if you have fizziness or any other issue, choose a specific oil that works against it!). Choosing natural oils like coconut, almond, olive or any other ones, is also a good choice.
Thirdly, if you expose your hair to excessive heat through straighteners or blow-dryers, you should really go for oiling!
Importantly, try to put oil in a regular interval and not on uneven days. Also, avoid using it in excessive quantities. It is because it gets difficult to remove it and you have to use extra shampoo. As a result, it can strip away the hair’s natural oils along with the excess oil.
Avoid tying you hair tight after oiling them. It can lead to breakage.
Also, do not wash your hair with hot water.

Benefits of oiling your hair

The benefits of oiling go long way back from the advice of all the grand-mothers for the hair, to a good technique for stress-relief now!

Here are some benefits that would really encourage you to oil your hair if you have been ignoring this amazing technique!

Prevents hair damage and fall

In a way, oil coats the hair with a protective layer.
Moreover, hair quality really weakens after using heat on it, it is very important to oil your hair afterwards!
It reduces the heat damage on hair and strengthens them.
Massaging the scalp leads to exfoliation of the scalp and removes the dead cells. This process nourishes the hair and thus, prevents hair fall to a great extent.

Stimulates hair growth

The technique of oiling is very important!
Massaging the entire scalp properly, increases the blood circulation. As a result, it helps with the hair growth.
Moreover, it strengthens hair follicles (hair are produced by the hair follicles situated on the outermost layer of the scalp!) that in turn stimulate the overall hair growth on the scalp.
In addition, it also replenishes the lost vitamins to the scalp and strengthen the roots.
As a result, applying it with the right technique boosts the hair growth!

Relives stress

Oiling can be very effective if you want to get rid of stress or escape your thoughts for a while.
In addition, it really helps one to stay more calm as it relaxes the muscles.
Moreover, stress can be a great factor for increased hair fall. Hence, it is a great stress buster that in-turn, reduces hair fall!

Moisturizes the hair

Like the body, the scalp needs moisturizing too. Due to constant exposure, hair tend to lack hydration more often. In addition, dry hair can lead to hair fall.
Oil can be a great moisturizer for the hair cells.
In other words, it hydrates the scalp and provides it with the right nutrients.
As a result, it nourishes the hair both, internally and externally. Also, it provides a good texture to the hair and makes them soft.

Prevents Frizziness

Frizziness occurs when hair lack moisture. The dryness leads to the outer layer of hair to swell up instead of lying flat. Moreover, frizzy hair are tough to manage.
Regular oiling can help manage the dryness and reduce the frizz.
As discussed above, moisturizing the hair is very crucial.
In addition, it leads to soft hair with a good amount of moisture.

Cover songs can be exhilarating and they can be a disgrace to the artist, who made the original. Covers give new life to a song and it can revitalize the song’s status in the current music business. It takes a lot of courage from the artist to cover a song especially if the song used to be highly popular. Covers are amazing for the industry and hearing a great rendition can be like going to a casino in the dressiest fit and having the time of your life. When hearing a great cover song new elements of the original come in place. It is much like casino top a site who shows what you need to know about a specific area.

Continue reading to find out which cover was greater than the original.

Free Fallin’ – John Mayer vs. Tom Petty

4 times the cover was better than the original — Image source

This could be seen as controversial already. Who messes with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers? Free Fallin’ is an iconic song that brings back a lot of memories to a time where everything was easier. To a time where music was played in front of audiences and not streamed on apps. Everyone remembers the iconic scene from Jerry Maguire, where Tom Cruise is driving home in his car and he is switching between radio stations to find a song that captures his mood. He lands on Free Fallin’ and starts to scream along. How can the John Mayer version be better than that?

John Mayer has made himself known as a great guitarist and lyricist and in many ways Free Fallin’ suits his voice and writing style well. He covered the song on his already legendary live album “Where the light is” and revitalized the song for a younger audience. To this day many music fans aren’t aware of the fact that this song is a cover. That is one of the reasons the song is better than the original. For many, the Mayer version was enough. The way he sings the song makes you wanna drive down Mulholland and be a good guy.

Jimi Hendrix – All Along The watchtower

Once again a song that makes people forget that this song is a cover. All Along the Watchtower is not a Hendrix song but funny enough it IS a Hendrix song. All Along the Watchtower is a masterpiece by Bob Dylan his sweet acoustic guitar accompanied by lyrics only Dylan could write makes the song a masterpiece. Hendrix covered the song and took it from folk to blue rock. Hendrix, considered one of the best guitarists of all time, has made the song iconic. Neither performance of the song has great vocals but in some way it just sounds like an epic song. When listening to the two versions of the song one can’t seem to be more invested in Hendrix’ more powerful performance. The lyrics suit Hendrix more in a way – but it is more a feel question that makes Hendrix’ version better than Dylan’s.

Nirvana – The man who sold the world

Back when MTV was still a music channel and Unplugged concerts were a thing of gold, Nirvana made an appearance that shook the music world. In 1993 Nirvana played in front of an audience in the MTV studios with only acoustic instruments and took everyone by storm. One of the songs was a cover of the legendary David Bowie.

The Man Who Sold the World is a song that for many people is defined by it’s powerful lyrics and powerful Bowie performance. Kurt Cobain took that performance, stripped it down and turned everything into 4 minutes and 19 seconds of him looking down the listeners soul. You can’t help find the setting of the acoustic and unplugged thrilling and somewhat unnerving. The performance of the song suits the way the song is written and Cobain and the rest of Nirvana transformed a classic song into something new.

Jeff Buckley – Hallelujah

This song shouldn’t be on the list for many reasons. First of all, it seems obvious. This is probably the most covered song in the world. The original version made by Leonard Cohen is a masterpiece of a song that is constantly evolving but Jeff Buckley made it commercial. Commercial is not a bad word in that sense and his version is so beautiful. He is the reason that every year on American Idol and other talent shows contesters keep singing this to win the hearts of the audience. It is full of emotion and power and is a force to be reckoned with.

The lyrics seem to hit harder and the way he sings it is just wonderful. It says a lot when the first thing that pops up on Google when searching for the song is the cover. Buckley did it and he did it to perfection.

Our aspirations and goals are most of the time directed towards something materialistic it’s hard to think of why we do what we do on a daily basis. This is the best time to analyze our activities and our real intention in doing them. For example, asking yourself, why am I doing this job? Commonly what answers we think of are at their core materialistic. Like, I do this job to earn money and have the luxury or feed my family or myself. Among these needs and wants and responsibility, we sideline our selves. Taking your care is essential for a healthy state of mind. This will in turn help you in achieving your goals better as you will have a stable and happy mind. We say the Mind is the master but in Indian philosophy, it is the aatma; the soulwhich is of greater importance. As your soul and its state precede over your brain. The brain is just another physical organ according to Indian philosophy. But aatma is the master. The one who can be in charge of his/her aatma will surely attain salvation according to many Hindu and Buddhist beliefs.

Among many beliefs in Indian philosophy one which is popularly known as the Chakras. Chakras are literally meaning wheels that are associated with a person’s well-being are said to be present in everyone’s physical body throughout the column of our spinal cord. The concept of Chakras is mentioned in both Hindu and Buddhist scriptures. In ancient Hindu thought, seven chakras are mentioned whereas in Buddhist thought only five are mentioned.

This chakra also governs your bladder, kidney, and spine.

Sacral chakra

Who doesn’t love music? One curated Spotify list for a long-drive and the entire journey simply becomes a thousand times better. You’ll want your friends to play their playlist, giving everyone the opportunity to DJ and even end up finding some gems in the process. What’s even better? That you just don’t want to play music on the app, you want to create your own list, share it with your friends, see what they are listening to, and more. This is all possible because of the incredibly impactful UI UX design of the app that makes you want to do more.

UI UX is at the centre of all digital interactions today and has naturally seen a significant rise in demand. According to Glassdoor, UX designer jobs are among the highest paying entry level jobs in the country.

Starting a career in UI UX design is a lucrative option and if you’re wondering how to start, you’re at the right place. Allow us to take you through everything you need to know to understand the difference between UI and UX and land UX/UI designer jobs.

What is User Experience (UX)?

UX or User Experience means customer experience in the digital space. A UX designer is in charge of making sure that a user interacting with space has all the information they need. They also have to make sure that this information is provided to them in a logical manner and is easy to navigate through. What makes Swiggy so easy to use is the way thousands of restaurants are listed in an organised manner, allowing you to browse through options and sub-options without ever getting lost.

UX designers, therefore, create blueprints of a website or application, structure elements within them to create a smooth journey for users. UX designers work with UI designers to arrive at a product that helps meet the objective of the application efficiently.

What is User Interface (UI)?

UI designers create visual elements for the digital space. While the UX designers determine the user journey, UI designers create graphics in accordance with the structures. This involves creating and designing pages, banners, call-to-action buttons, determining text vs graphic ratio, etc.

Key responsibility includes ensuring that the design is as intuitive as possible, with all the elements, right from the colour, typography, and the animation, all serving a purpose in the space they occupy. In Swiggy’s app, this includes the entire look of the app, the appropriate use of the brand colour, Orange, throughout the app, highlighting discount coupons in another text colour, differentiating sponsored posts with key indicators, etc.

Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s continue to understand the design processes and principles involved in UI UX design.

Learning UI UX Design Principles

Just like in every field, UI/UX design principles lay the foundation for a memorable user experience. These are guidelines UI UX designers should follow to help users with a smooth journey. A poor UI UX design can have drastic effects on user experience, therefore following these principles becomes essential, especially when you’re a beginner.

1. Structure the design around the users

Any UI UX professional will tell you that the key to a successful design lies in understanding user needs and meeting them. It is important to allow the users the control to navigate the space themselves, it helps them learn better and get comfortable quickly.

A design that may seem brilliant to you might not help the user with what they want at all. It is important that the experience gives the customer what they want. For example, make/enable reversible actions. Allow the users to ‘undo’ their input, this way the customer is at ease. They can navigate without fear and stress.

Just how many times have we used Microsoft Office’s Undo/Redo buttons? It has saved us all out of very tricky situations more than once. Another stellar example is the option Gmail provides to ‘undo’ the action of deleting a mail.

It is also important to create a system that is easy-to-navigate. The information must have a logical flow and be easy to find. You do not want the user to spend several minutes searching for a button and being unable to find it, end up getting frustrated or and abandoning the application.

A simple tutorial on how to navigate the app or the website when the user visits for the first time helps them understand how to interact with it. Which brings us to another key aspect – accommodating users with different skill levels. Your application should be easy to use for all, uniformly. This ensures your site or application is accessible to all.

2. Deliver a consistent experience

When it comes to UI UX design, consistency is everything. Once a user has become familiar with one aspect of your app, they should be able to easily navigate to other aspects and pages without having to learn something new. Starting with the visual elements, ensure they follow your brand guidelines and don’t deviate without any apparent reason.

Ensuring consistency also comes with the language used. Use the same terminologies everywhere. If you call your Blog page, ‘Blog’ in one place and then call it a ‘Resource Centre’, it may lead to confusion with regards to the nature of the page.

3. Keep the language simple

Keeping the language simple and clear seems obvious, but is often overlooked. Avoid using jargons and complicated language that will confuse the user. Make sure your instructions and messages are the direct and to-the-point. Depending on the context, pick between direct messages and light, causal messages.

For example, if you are lodging a complaint with regards to a damaged product you received, a simple ‘Upload photo’ button may work better than ‘Provide attachment’ for you to share proof of damage.

4. Use standard design elements

Know when to use standard design elements and when you can get creative. It’s best that a button looks like a button so that the user knows that they can take action by clicking on it. Similarly, logins are mostly on the upper right corner of a screen. A user already knows where to look for it, placing it there will mean quicker action.

Key elements must focus on utility first and aesthetics later. One of the most important UI UX designer skills involves finding creative ways to marry the two. These were just some of the key UI UX design principles professionals must follow, for more guidelines on the same, you can check out our piece on 16 design principles here.

Mistakes To Avoid In A Start-Up Business

It’s never easy to start a business. There are so many things to think about and the pressure can make u take wrong decisions that can hurt your potential in the longer run. According to a survey, 20% of the start-up fail during the first two years of operation and nearly shut down after the fifth year. So how do you successfully keep your business running?

While there is no full-proof plan that can keep your business running because that depends on your efforts and your ideas, but here are some common mistakes compiled after reaching out to multiple business owners and financial strategists that you can avoid while building your start-up, so that nothing comes in your way to success.

The planning phase:

The planning phase may be a tedious task but without a proper plan for your business, you will just be walking a dark road. The planning phase includes your market research, profit model, and proper research on your business idea. This prevents you to cling to a wrong business idea. Think of long-term business goals. Holding on to the wrong idea can be a major reason why start-ups fail. Although many entrepreneurs consider their idea to be superior to others, it’s important to see the flaws as well. During planning remember a business plan, a financial plan, and a marketing plan.

Doing it all alone:

Doing a business alone can not only lead to extended problems but also it will cost you everything. Start-ups are like roller-coaster rides. There might be good times but in times of loss, you don’t want to bear the loss alone. Being a jack of all trades will not bring you anywhere, but having a business professional and an advisor can contribute to new ideas. Build a team of people with expertise in different areas.

Handling money the wrong way:

Mistakes To Avoid In A Start-Up Business

Having capital to work with and using it effectively is also a challenge. Starting a business would not require large investments. New business founders love to spend money on useless items or stars hiring a ton of people. Remember overspending initially can burn the start-ups’ finance. On the other hand, even under-spending and not investing your capital in new technology can limit the potential of success. You may hire a professional who is good with numbers.

Not making a commitment

When starting with business, you need a strong will and a good commitment. You need to be willing to make sacrifices and face all your hardships head on to be successful. Don’t let failure bring you down. Instead, take it as a lesson, learn from it, and re-work on your start-up and flourish it.

Taking too much influence:

It is okay to take feedbacks and criticism related to your business ideas. But too much outside opinion can make your self-doubt. Many people will give you their ideas, but it’s the entrepreneur’s job to chose who to listen to. If you start following everyone’s advice then you might get deviated from your original idea. You should be open to suggestions and improve your business but keep your vision set. Too many directions aren’t good for business.

Wrong location:

Choosing the right location for setting up your business is a major challenge and this step shouldn’t be ignored by the entrepreneurs. Placing your business at the right location helps to improve your brand value. For choosing the right location you must do proper market research which will be done in your planning phase. The location should help attract customers and also the right talent.

Not understanding the market and your ideal customers:

A common start-up mistake is not knowing your market. You have to ask yourself- “will others pay for your product?”. Many times the fear of failure may cause you to undervalue your product. This opens a door to resentment and frustration. Exploring the market beforehand will help you decide the best entry point price for what you want to sell.

Another vital part of marketing is knowing your customers. You need to do proper market research to find out who you want to reach out to, where you will find them and how they would react to your idea. Building a great product is just winning half the battle it won’t guarantee success, but marketing it the correct way gives value to it.

Bottom line

Failure is a part of growing up. Not every start-up is a successful one. Learn from your mistakes and keep going. Surround yourself with like-minded people, and learn from their experiences and teaching. Test new ideas and be open to new ideas. Remember to take feedbacks so you can improve your product and reach your customer satisfaction goals.
