Flamingos are the one the most flamboyant migratory birds in the world. Though they have only six species in all, India is lucky to sight two of their distinct species. The greater flamingos with tall height and black-tipped pink bill and the lesser flamingos with short height and dark crimson bill. It is mesmerizing to observe them moving in a flock with their elegant stick-like feet, necks bent down and bills enjoying the food. They mainly come from Africa, South West Asia, South Europe, and also foothills of Himalayas. From winters, Lakhs of flamingos start migrating to India and can travel up to 500 km at one time. This sounds amazing, Isn’t it? Also, in their migration period, they take only one or two stoppage points! To spot them, make sure that you visit the spots usually in the morning time between 6 am to 10 am.

Check out the wanderlust spots In Maharashtra now!

1. Sewri Creek

Top 5 places in Maharashtra to spot Iconic Flamingos

This is the most popular spot to view the flashiest flock of flamingos. Sewri has a muddy and marshy area and is one of seven islands of Mumbai. This comes in the South Mumbai region and visitors from all around the Mumbai come every year to spot both lesser and greater species flamingos. The best season to visit this spot is from September to April. The matter of fact is that flamingos first migrate to the Kutch area in Gujarat where they have their breeding period. After that, they come in the Mumbai region to feed on tiny insects, blue-green algae and molluscs. In this, 90% of them are lesser flamingo species.

Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) also organizes the Flamingo Festival, a photography contest, and information sessions of flamingos during this season. So, this is the favorite place for photographers too. But for 10 years, there is a lot of wetland destruction and constructions going on in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) region. This resulted in the delay in flamingo’s migration. In January 2020, around 34k flamingos were spotted but the number increased to 1 lakh in February 2020. As lockdown grew, there was less disturbance and hence the number grew to 1.5 lakhs from 1.2 lakhs compared to last year. Thereby, this year their population even increased by 25% compared to last year in the whole MMR region.

2. Chanakya, NRI Complex, Seawoods in Navi Mumbai

This lockdown gave the good news to Navi Mumbaikars. This is because the flamingos in Navi Mumbai region known as Talawe wetlands like near Chanakya College, NRI Complex, and Seawoods Lake squeezed in here to feed on the blue-green algae. Can you think why these birds are pink in color? They are not pink color since their birth but the consumption of blue-green algae and bacteria gives them a pink plumage. The presence of beta-carotenoid pigment in such things they feed on turns them pink from gray or white. This year surprisingly in one of the wetlands near the NRI complex turned deep pink due to the algae and also humid weather conditions.

Interestingly, due to the lockdown, there was lower human activities and less construction work. So, these flamingos enjoyed their peace and also flabbergasted people over here. The eye-pleasing view of the pink city was captured by many people from their balconies living nearby these wetlands. The overall Talawe wetlands have crossed 8.5k from 6k compared to last year. BNHS is empathizing with the fact that wildlife authorities must convert this area to Flamingo Sanctuary soon.

3. Thane Creek and Boat Ride from Airoli

You can spot a flock of flamingos at Thane Creek in the presence of mangrove forests every year. Maharashtra Government and State Mangrove Cell have successfully declared it as India’s first flamingo sanctuary. Eager birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts get fascinated by the closer look of these wading birds with boat tours starting from the Coastal Marine Biodiversity Centre in Airoli near Thane. The boat ride which lasts for one hour is getting very popular but is closed in the lockdown period. There are big boat rides with 24 seaters and also 7 seaters boat. Cost per person ranges around Rs.440 on weekends and Rs.300 on weekdays. If you want to travel in groups, they also give good discounts. Last year over 1.34 lakhs flamingos were spotted here. This creek is surely well maintained and is providing good support to the pink beauties and its habitat.

4. Bhandup Pumping Station and Boat Ride

From mangroves to saltpans, grasslands to lakes, bird watching is getting awe-struck near Bhandup Pumping Station which is the part of Thane Creek. Wildnest, a tour group arranges boat trips for nature enthusiasts. They conduct regular tours in this region, with larger boats of 12 seaters and 24 seaters too. Also, they provide smaller 2-seater rowing boats for those people who are especially interested in taking a closer look and fond of photography. You can see both lesser and greater flamingos here, with other beautiful birds like the purple heron, black-headed ibis, egrets, spot-billed duck, and sandpipers.

5. Bhigwan

Bhigwan is typically a small town and also called as “Bharatpur of Maharashtra”. It is situated on the border of Pune and Solapur district. Bhigwan town attracts people from Maharashtra when pink greater flamingos arrive here during January. You must visit this place in winter between 7 to 10 am. Moreover, there are two sights to see bird sightings, Diksal and Kumbhargaon. Once you reach Bhigwan, take left turn to reach Diksal. The “bird watching” place is around 5-6 km inwards. You can ask for “Juna Phul” which means “Old bridge”. To reach Kumbhargaon, you drive ahead from Bhigwan for 2 km and look for signboards of “Kumbhargaon” or “flamingo point”.

It is just spectacular to watch the colony of flamingos in such places. Many other states like Gujarat, Odhisha, Andra Pradesh, and Rajasthan also witness the sightings of flamingos. But the majority of flamingo spots are from Maharashtra. It is home to the highest flamingo population in India and conservationists are taking adequate measures to conserve them and spread awareness about them. Make it a point to one of these spots and cherish it for a lifetime!

You have probably tried to recreate that salon-finish voluminous hair at home. But, why does it feel difficult to create stylish hairdos using your own hair dryer? The reason can be that yourdrying technique isn’t perfect.However, it is possible to get theperfect blow-out with the right tricks and by avoidingcertain things.

Here are somefrequent mistakes that you should dodge when you use a hair dryer at home:

Drying Soaking Wet Hair

If you dry your hair right after hopping out of the shower, it will consume a lotof your time.Continuous hot air from the hairdryer for a long time can damage your hair strands. Thus, it will be wise to get rid of the excessive moisture by using a towel before blow-drying.

Drying Without Sectioning Your Hair

Are you habitual of picking up a hair dryer and drying your hair haphazardly, blowing in every direction until it dries?

It is because of thisreason hair drying takes up so much of your time. An efficient manner of drying your hair is by sectioning it. In this manner, the blow dryer can reach all the hair strands. Section the hair and work your way up from the bottom.

Skipping the Hair Protectant

If you use a styling tool on your hair before applying a heat protectant, it could damage your locks.To maintain the silkiness of your hair, you should apply a heat protectant beforeusing a blow dryer.It will ensure protection for your hair and keep it frizz-free.

Using the Wrong Heat Settings

All hair dryers usually have different heat setting options. While deciding which one to use, you should consider your hair type. For thicker hair, you need a higher heat setting whereas, for thin hair, a lower setting will dry your hair in a reasonable time. Experimenting and finding the right heat setting will be a suitable option. There are premium brands like Vega that offer a range of hair dryers with 2 heat settings. Low heat setting can be used for gentle drying of slightly wet hair and high heat setting can be used for fast drying of thick hair.

KeepingYour Hair Too Close to the Hair Dryer

Every morning with a busy schedule ahead, you try to dry your hair as quickly as possible and rush outside. Further, without realizing you might be cramming your blow dryer deep in your locks for drying them faster. Doing this can cause significant harm to your hair.

In some situations, your hair can get caught in the dryer’s filter. To avoid such circumstances, keep the hair dryer at a safe distance from your hair.

Using an Unclean Hair Dryer

Cleaning your hair dryer is as imperative as cleaning your make-up brushes after use. It enables the tool to work with its full potential and efficiency. Since hair particles and dust collect in the filter, it can hamper your hair drying process.

Using the Wrong Hair Blow Dryer

Numerous types of hair dryers are available in the market. Ceramic, ionic, tourmaline- all these dryers work great with different kinds of hair. Also, they have different features and are applicable for various purposes. For example, for drying your hair quickly, you should use an ionic hair dryer.

It often feels like our purchases and search history is stalking us through the internet. A purchase for a table on Amazon I just made shows up as an ad even a week later. There are ads for items related to tables that I can buy, such as lampshades or makeup racks. It is of course, quite disconcerting.

But don’t worry, this is their job. You see, this cluttering of websites with advertisements is part of a practice called pay-per-click ads.

Their ad is placed based on the keywords typed into the search engine. This loosely translates to mean the following. If I wish to buy a spot on a search engine, I shall have to specify my keyword and place my ad only on pages where my keyword occurs.

I know a lot of you might be wondering whether it really helps, and well yes it does. That is considering your product is good. For example, Amazon has the maximum pay per click advertisements. It should be draining but a lot of the clicks on the ads actually convert to successful purchases. Hence there is a minimal to zero loss made. If you manage to make a 1000 dollar sale through a 10 dollar click, there is literally a 990 dollar profit.

How Are PPCs Advancing?

As search engines are becoming more and more specific, it is important that companies buying pay per click slots convert each click to a successful purchase. If the turnover is not good enough, there is no point in bidding. You might have noticed how Amazon is developing its search algorithm to fit your preferences more. With artificial intelligence algorithms, amazon tracks your purchase patterns and shows you ads specific to you. How is this different from convention PPCs you ask?

The point of PPC bidding is to gain a slot for an ad most similar to your search. That is, the ad you will see will be based on the keywords you typed in. But with advancing technology and internet abilities, PPCs are expanding beyond this conventional framework and are delving into more AI based algorithms.

Google Ads – The Father of PPCs

The largest domain right now for pay per click advertisements is Google, as you might have suspected. With their massive and higly sought after search engine, Google is extremely lucrative in terms of creating successful ad spaces for products. Google receives massive amounts of traffic every second. The only thing you need to ensure is the frequency of your ads appearing and the turnover percentage. If you use a keyword that is specific and not searched for by users, your ad will never see the light of day. Use more common keywords that get more traffic.

The Four Cardinal Rules of PPCs

Here are some aspects of creating pay per click ads that you need to take care of for a successful ad campaign. The first, keyword relevance. Your keywords, as I have mentioned before, need to be relevant and searchable. The second, your landing page’s quality. When a user clicks on your ad, your next job is to convert their interest into a purchase. That can only be done by having a landing page which is just as interesting and catchy as the product or the ad you have used. Keep your information short and concise, but also interesting. Use language that the masses shall relate to.

The third is the quality score. Google does this thing where it gives a rating to the quality and relevance of your landing page and ad content. Yes, you can’t just put up anything on your slot. The better rating you have, the lower your cost per click. An increased quality score also ensures more clicks per time period. The last rule goes for all the content you produce, creativity. Being creative is essential. Your advertisement needs to look creative and different. However it should still have a sophistication to it so that people are actually interested in looking at your product.

And though you know some of it now, it’s simply the basics. Learning about pay per click advertisements is a never ending journey. But we hope that armed with this new information you have a successful venture into the world of pay per click advertisements.

We being the younger generation need our space, time, and have certain needs. Most of the families, nowadays are a nuclear family and somehow, we all are forgetting the benefits of living in a joint family. Having so people around and in one particular house might be a little chaotic but having someone around has its benefits. Inter-disputes and in-adjustable nature are the biggest cause of turning a joint family into a nuclear family. People living in a joint family are found to be more delightful and cheerful than the ones living in a nuclear family. They are more helpful. So if case you needed to know what are the real perks of living in a joint family, check out the list below.

Home Security

Is your family going on a vacation or a trip? Don’t worry, the home is in the safer hands of other families. You can enjoy the trip without having to worry a single time about the house. It is as neat and clean as it was when you and your family left. The rooms are still locked and your stuff remains untouched. The thieves have now blacklisted your house, for you always have someone roaming and dancing around the house. You get tea and coffee prepared already when you came back from the most exciting yet tiring trip.

Bigger Family, Better Events

Why need someone else when you have a whole cricket team ready in your own house. While going in a function, you never count your family as 4 or 5 but as 8 or 10. Birthdays have real fun as you have your big family ever ready so you never run out of people or friends even during the lockdown. There are always many hands involved to make any occasion successful. Also, so many people mean so many occasions including birthdays and anniversaries ultimately having more cakes. So your house turns into a party club almost every month.

Brainstorming

Elder the homies, better the ideas. Who needs a counselor when your home is filled with well -educated people? Be it the occasion, study-related, home renovation, or any other serious or hilarious discussion, everyone’s opinion matters and each person has the right to provide with their feedback. Having so many creative ideas makes your family the most creative and best decision-maker.

Their relatives are your relatives

You never really felt shy in front of their relatives. Sometimes your cousin’s cousins are more close and familiar with you than your cousin and trust me, it is a feeling of pride and happiness. They trust you and what can be better than having people who trust you. Whether it is your relative’s visit or theirs, you treat them like yours. Everyone knows each other and it leads to a bigger family gathering filled with joy and laughter.

More cousins, More fun

Even if you are a single child, you never really felt like that. You and your cousins are enough to make two big separate teams and play any game. You hardly made any friends out in your locality because you have the best and the funniest team ready in your house. Making plans to scare someone, fight for one of your cousins, or hosting an event, you guys are the best. You found your best friend in your cousins who keep all your secrets and save you every time you got yourself in trouble.

Loneliness has no space for you

Anxiety, loneliness, depression have no place in your heart and room. If they insist to enter into your room, your cousins are all set with piles of laughter and memes as weapons to kick them out of your aura. Feeling bored? Enter in their room without knocking. Feeling like punching someone? You have them as a punching bag.

Sharing is the real caring

Pizza slices are always cut into pieces according to your family members with a count who ate how many slices. Cakes are being shared and there is always a fight for the last piece because naturally, it looks more delicious now. Not only food, but the dresses, makeup, and sometimes even shoes are being shared to slay on any date or at a party. So, basically, you always have stock ready for anything.

You have people to look after you

Feeling sick or low? Suddenly your room is filled with all the home remedies being prepared by mothers and tablets bought by fathers and entertainment by cousins. You hardly feel sick anymore and feel so grateful to have them in your life. You end up making plans for weekends or road trips after two days because they will never let you stay sick for long.

Same upbringing, different streams

Going to enter into the real-world or thinking of changing stream? You have people ready with all the experiences from different fields to help you start your journey. You have science, commerce, arts, and other streams or even business in your house that it feels like you have a complete education system running in the house. Nevertheless, their advises are always right. Take as much as you can from them.

You have their back

Lastly, no matter what happens, you have got their back like always. They are there to fight for you, help you, explain to you certain things, saving your secrets, and loving you unconditionally. Love them back, sometimes they need you too. Feel blessed to have such an amazing and big family.

Having family around is more fun than we think. Stay connected with your loved ones even if you don’t live in a joint family. Have regular meetups, enjoy weekends, plan a trip together, and live a happy life. What are you waiting for? Go hug them or make a phone call.

A family that eats together, plays together, stays together.

Here’s How to Watch Netflix US on Your Windows PC

Despite losing shows to new streaming platforms (since every network seems to need one nowadays), Netflix is still a major player in the industry. And yet, it doesn’t seem fair that you can’t watch everything you want in one region. In fact, even if you could watch Netflix US right now, you still wouldn’t get the full library of shows. Unless you use a VPN to unblock its international catalogs, that is.

Where can you find one that reliably unblocks Netflix US? Click here now for ten great VPN options, courtesy of ProPrivacy. While you’re at it, you may want to know about a couple of Windows-related features that may work against your streaming experience.

Watch Out for Leaks

VPNs work by masking your IP address and “replacing” it with the IP of the VPN server you’ve connected to. Websites will essentially believe you’re in whatever country the server is located in. In this case, you’d need to connect to a VPN server located in the US. This lets you get around the irritating geo-blocks preventing you from watching your favorite Netflix US series.

That doesn’t mean you’re limited to a single country, either. As mentioned, some shows (like It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) aren’t available in the US. Simply choose a different server location – like the UK for IASIP – and make the most out of your subscription.

Now, there may be situations where your true location can leak even while using a VPN. This means you’ll get the dreaded 404 error whenever you look up Netflix US shows. All of ProPrivacy’s VPN recommendations come with built-in leak protection, but there are two Windows 8 and 10 features in particular that could pose a problem.

Teredo tunneling

You may have heard of Teredo if you or anyone you know has an Xbox they use for multiplayer games. This Windows feature allows communication between the two IP protocols used at the moment: IPv4 and IPv6. Until the entire Internet upgrades to IPv6, we’re stuck with features like this one to bridge communications.

Now, the problem with Teredo is that it’s a tunneling protocol, kind of like the one your VPN uses to encrypt your data before it’s sent off to the Internet at large. As such, Teredo can sometimes override your VPN’s tunnel and send DNS requests through your ISP, rather than your VPN’s own DNS servers. This is called a DNS leak.

Basically, anyone viewing your connection (including Netflix) can now see your real ISP’s location and IP address. Obviously, that location won’t be the US. Luckily, it’s easy enough to disable Teredo. Simply open a command prompt (press the Windows key + R and type “cmd”). Type this command in (without the quotation marks): “netsh interface teredo set state disabled” and press Enter. That’s it!

Smart Multi-homed Name Resolution (SMHNR)

Another feature that can cause DNS leaks. Normally, SMHNR would be useful to increase Internet speeds. It sends out DNS requests to all available DNS servers and chooses whichever responds the fastest. Pretty neat, right? Except this may cause DNS requests to go through your ISP rather than your VPN.

Seem familiar? That’s because it’s pretty similar to what happens with Teredo. The good news is that you can disable SMHNR as well – here’s a guide for both Windows 8 and 10. Once you’ve disabled both features, you can safely watch Netflix US shows without worrying about your location leaking out. Take a look at ProPrivacy’s list to find multiple quality VPNs, guaranteed to unblock Netflix in just a few clicks.

This adds up to have a healthy gut that dwells a healthy mind, boosts up metabolism, promotes good health, helps body organs to function efficiently, avails weight loss, and whatnot. The lifestyle you live in and the foods that you eat affect your digestive health to a considerable extend.

The food that you eat gets assimilated by your digestive system. This is performed by breaking them into the vital nutrients which are the requirements of your body to function effectively.

Confused About Where To Start Or What To Do?

This article will instruct you with the top 10 useful habits that you must adopt or incorporate into your daily life. These tips will not only help to boost up your digestive health but will also give you a better sense of living a much healthier lifestyle.

1. Switch To A High-fiber Diet

A high-fiber diet helps the food to keep a smooth motion through the digestive tract. Hence, the possibility of getting constipated gets reduced. Moreover, including a prominent amount of fiber in your diet helps to cure as well as prevent several digestive disorders. These are hemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), diverticulosis, heartburn, gas, bloating, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), etc are some of the commons. You must include both soluble and insoluble fiber in your plate. Soluble fiber draws out extra water content to prevent runny stools whereas the later (insoluble fiber) helps to add immensity to stools. Good sources of insoluble fiber (roughage) include whole grains, vegetables, beans, nuts, etc, and those of soluble fiber add legumes, oats, barley, citrus fruits, apples, and many more.

Top 10 Habits That Will Boost Up Your Digestive Health

A high-fiber diet also helps you maintain a standard and healthy weight. But anything in extra always welcome problems, therefore too much of fiber may be disturbing for your digestive health.

2. Restrict Foods That Comprise High-Fat Content

Cut down from high-calorie foods, that contain fatty acids which ultimately tends to slow down the digestion process. This increases the risk of constipation. Although, it is recommended to add some fat in your diet. So, put together some good fats along with high-fiber on your plate which will help to ease up the digestion process. Along with this, you must close off the sugar content in your diet. Artificial sweeteners tend to scale up bad bacteria which causes several digestive issues. Instead, you should include a diet with healthy fatty acids like omega-3 which are mainly found in chia seeds, walnuts, spinach, flax seeds, soybeans, and many others.

3. Assimilate probiotics and prebiotics into your diet

Probiotics compete for space with bad bacteria. They promote the release of natural antibodies in the digestive tract and can even attack unhealthy bacteria directly in some cases such as IBS. The former (Probiotics) are the bacteria that add to the population of good bacteria in the digestive system. Whereas, the later (Prebiotics) are functionalized plant fiber that acts as food for the good bacteria. In short, these two pairs if taken in a sufficient amount daily will boost up your digestive health for a prolonged period of time. Foods that accommodate probiotics are wheat bran, banana, garlic and those of prebiotics include yogurt, kefir, sour cream, probiotic milk, etc. Besides, probiotics can add to better nutrient absorption, can help break down lactose, and thus help in strengthening your immune system. So, regular consumption of yogurt acts as an ultimate immune system booster and can even prevent cancer, gastrointestinal diseases, infections, etc.

4. Set Up Your Eating Chart

Consuming your meals and snacks on a routine basis helps to keep your digestive system in tip-top shape and function more productively. Thereafter, you should try to take your breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner around the same time every day. Irregular eating habits are the worst you can do to your gut as well as to your digestive structure. You should follow a proper schedule for having your meals and keep your digestive system healthy. Hence, start having your meals at regular intervals throughout the day and you will soon notice the difference.

5. Chew slowly

The process of digestion commences right inside the mouth when you start chewing your food. In fact, 50% of digestion should be finished while the food is being chewed inside your mouth. But, often we tend to forget this fact and pays no attention to the function that your teeth play in grinding the food. Smaller bits of food initiates smoother movement in the digestive tract. Moreover, chewing accommodates more saliva in the mouth, which in turn releases essential digestive enzymes that further promotes good digestion. This may help to avoid some common concerns like indigestion, bloating, etc.

6. Stay hydrated

Water is very much essential for digestion as well as for your body. It is recommended to have at least 2.5 to 3 liters of water every day. Incorporate more fruits and vegetables in your daily diet such as cucumber, watermelon, citrus fruits, tomatoes, etc. Not only they are bundled with vital nutritious properties but are also high in water content. Hence, adding plenty of water to your diet will help in digestion by dissolving fats and insoluble fiber. This allows food to pass through your intestines more easily.

7. Exercise regularly

Make this a priority in your daily lifestyle if you want to strengthen your digestive system. Indulge in a regular exercise of at least 15 – 30 mins every day. Doing regular exercise helps keep foods moving through the digestive tract smoothly and thus prevents constipation. Exercise helps you to maintain a healthy weight, activates your body parts as well as your internal organs, and therefore helps to boost up your digestive health.

8. Skip the bad habits

Smoking, drinking alcohol in excessive amounts, extreme intake of caffeine, along with some other bad habits interfere with the functioning of your digestive system, making it weak and unhealthy. Not only this, but it leads to various other health issues like cancer, stomach ulcers, heartburn, etc. Alcohol interferes with acid secretion and nutrient absorption, so you need to take care not to drink too much. Smoking can have a serious negative impact on your digestive system as it weakens the valves at the end of the esophagus. It also increases the risk of gastrointestinal cancers. Hence, this is a mandatory step that you should consider to make your body as well as your digestive health secure.

9. Lose Weight

Being obese, or even a few pounds overweight can cause several digestive issues; for instance, the valve between the stomach and the esophagus sometimes won’t close completely. This allows stomach acid back into the esophagus. Thus, you should try to maintain a healthy weight to aid a good digestion process. Therefore, incorporate a particular diet in your daily lifestyle which will not only improve your digestive system but also promote a healthy weight loss.

10. Manage Stress

Stress management is of utmost importance for a robust gut and effective digestion. Feelings of stress and anxiety can create chaos with your digestive system because your brain and digestive system are interlinked with each other. Try stress releasing exercises, getting more sleep, and relaxation techniques. You can also adopt healthy enactments like meditation, yoga, and deep breathing practices to shun the stress. Although, you need to practice them regularly.

Consequently, it can be concluded that digestion can be improved by having a well-balanced diet, scheduling your eating times, skipping bad habits, and exercising regularly. Firstly, you must commit to your body before you commence to adopt all of these habits. A healthy body with a healthy mind, calls a healthy gut. Eat more of natural produces and avoid the ‘odds and ends’. Do not over-stuff your tummy. Keep yourself and your digestive system healthy by embracing these 10 useful habits. Be positive and ignore the negative thoughts and emotions. This will add on to a healthy gut along with a healthy body.
