Sunday Horoscope : March 6, 2022 – How The Day Looks Like For You, What To Do And What To Avoid Today

March 6, 2022

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Your psychic abilities are insane today, Aries, but please don’t get pressurised with this amazing superpower. Tense communications could go down, but it’s nothing you can’t handle. Putting your focus toward fame, success, or your reputation is a great way to use today’s glam Leo Moon.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

There’s a huge amount of tension today to figure out your career path or sort out how you want to be recognized, and for what. Everything is possible. The Moon is in Leo, the sign of the performer: What do you want to be famous for, you have to figure that out and act accordingly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

The Moon is in your sign today! Enjoy it, because today will be tough. Communication issues are mostly annoying yet important. There is a plenty of destructive energy occurring while you run your errands and try to tackle your to-do list. Don’t people know who you are. Keep the secrecy alive!

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

The Moon is in fellow Fire sign and superstar of the zodiac! Today could be plenty of wild fun; however, stubborn attitudes or spoiled brats may get under your skin. Your values are changing, and with that, your friendships. Don’t get prejudiced. Take a sight of relief. Things are heading towards a great future.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today there is a lot of pressure to have fun, but not much money to spend on having it. Remember when fun was free? Time to go back to your roots. Explore finer things in life which often come for free. The idea is live life king size but do not spend like a king.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

As a sign of friendship, you can get along with absolutely anyone…unless, of course, they’re an asshole. Unfortunately, assholes are everywhere these days. The universe is asking you to reconsider how you navigate around idiots. Sometimes, it also pays to not give any importance to those who really don’t matter much in your life.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

There’s nothing weirder than having to put on a happy face for strangers when you actually feel like crap. On one hand, it’s a social day with the Moon in Leo, but there’s tension in the air. Before you can have fun, you’ll have to set serious boundaries at home.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be careful when dealing with emotional issues. Someone will use the information you share against you. Concentrate on work and the types of changes you can make in order to get more involved in something you enjoy and do just that.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might have to deal with bitchy attitudes and sneaky behavior from the people around you today, Taurus, whether it’s an asshole at the dog park or an idiot coworker. Try to stay kind and gentle (you usually are, Taurus)—everyone’s having a hard day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Did you know that your ruling planet was one of the few mythological characters who could go to the underworld to visit Pluto and then come back out again? Usually, if one goes underground, that’s that. Sit on this today, and enjoy the journey of life. Stay happy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You’re enjoying the luxurious and opulent side of life— even if people are being snappy and difficult. Expect major drama in your relationships today, especially having to do with issues concerning the home or privacy. Study and focus on those things in life which have always given you happiness – sports, films and travel. Go all out now!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your partners might feel super dark today but you need to give them benefit of doubt. Keep your phone out of reach—they’ll try to snoop a little bit. You’re so straightforward, but now you need to be a little diplomatic. Don’t take it personally; everyone has their baggage. Just chill.

Please Don’t Associate Srinagar Only With Terrorism. You Shouldn’t Miss Its Warm Heart.

I was travelling in a metro rail in Delhi a few years back. It was a crowded compartment with people of all corners of India rubbing shoulders with one another. I saw two young fair skin youngsters engrossed in a newspaper and chatting in a language that sounded alien to me. I got curious and slowing started getting closer to them – just to understand what they are talking about.

Despite my best efforts I could not understand even a word of their conversation. They somehow figured out that I am trying to listen to their conversation and that made them uncomfortable. I figured that out and started looking out of the window to give them some assurance that there is no visible threat to their privacy.

After a few stops, metro started getting empty and luckily all three of us got seats – next to each other. I decided to strike up a conversation with them.

“Where are you from” I asked them with a smiling face.

One of them replied – “Srinagar” and added – “The real one, not the one which is in Uttarakhand”.

I was surprised with this reply. I didn’t expect such a sharp response to an otherwise innocent query.

“What’s your name”. I tried to continue the conversation.

This time the other man carrying a laptop said in a husky tone “I am Bilal and he is my cousin Ashraf”.

“Nice meeting you Bilal and Ashraf. Welcome to Delhi. I would like to know about Srinagar – the real one”. I said with a wink and that made both of them smile.

Next fifteen minutes they kept telling me about Srinagar and why I should visit the city once and should not give any heed to the usual portrayal of the city in mainstream media. Some of the monuments that they mentioned are still etched my memory.

Dal Lake

Dal Lake – the jewel of Srinagar is the most important landmark of Srinagar. It is part of a natural wetland that covers an area of about 21 sq km which also includes floating gardens. The floating gardens, known for lotus flowers, are known as ‘Rad’ in the Kashmiri language.

Nishat Garden

Nishat Bagh is located on the eastern side of the Dal Lake. It is the second largest Mughal garden in the Kashmir Valley. The largest in size is the Shalimar Bagh, which is also located on the bank of the Dal Lake. ‘Nishat Bagh’ in Urdu, which means “Garden of Joy,” “Garden of Gladness” and “Garden of Delight. Nishat Bagh is laid out now is a broad cascade of terraces lined with avenues of chinar and cypress trees, which starts from the lakeshore and reaches up to an artificial façade at the hill end.

Shankaracharya Hill

The hill hosts a temple of Lord Shiva on its top. This ancient temple was built in the ninth century A.D. Made of grey stone blocks and is one of the oldest designs of the country. The best part about this temple is that electronic devices are strictly not allowed there and you can truly disconnect! The Shankaracharya Hill offers a pleasant panoramic view over the entire Srinagar!

Ask me why I remember this conversation eve after so many years. My answer is – prejudices destroy everything. Its better to go and experience on your own, see things and do not believe in hearsay.

That day I saw desperation to change the image of Srinagar among the common people in India. Should we not give them a hearing?

happy petcare tips — Petcare Tips That Will Keep You And Your Pet Happy Forever

There is a growing trend, specially in the metros, to keep pets at home. It is heartening to see so many people caring about pets and pets getting all the love and affection. What disappoints sometimes is an utter lack of awareness when it comes to raising a pet at home. Many of us are not aware of simple dos and don’ts of pet care and end of doing epic random shit.

Dr Shally Mattoo Jalali speaks to us on important aspects of pet care. Here are the highlights of her interview –

Question – In today’s busy life what are the kinds of pets that people prefer to keep?

Ans: Pandemic has changed a lot of perspectives in general. Work from home has made people more and more nuclear they don’t have time to take their pets for walks, rides, and socialization. Because of the constraint of space in flats in high-rise buildings, they want to keep a pet that requires low maintenance and could be managed in less space. Big dogs require large space and require a lot of time to engage so people are preferring small breeds and cats. Also, guinea pigs hamsters rabbits, and birds are more preferred pets.

Question – Where should a person look for a pet, how can we get one?

Answer: There are a lot of breeders who breed dogs, cats, and other small animals but there is a difference in how ethical and sensitive that breeder is. You can buy them from an ethical breeder which is actually difficult to find or just simply adopt them from either NGOs, animal welfare organizations and groups, or your vet who might know a good breeder. Not all the breeders are good some of them just want to sell the pet not understanding the possible diseases and illnesses puppies can acquire while they just keep selling unvaccinated young puppies or kittens. They separate young ones too early from their mother and they don’t get proper colostrum and immunity.

Question – What should be the right age to adopt puppies and kittens?

Anwer:45-55 days is the time when mothers wean off puppies and kittens and no longer feed them. At around 35-40 days deworming should be done and at 45 days vaccination should be done and after 14 days you can get one home.

Question – Why is there are a lot of abandoned pets?

Answer: You have to see it as a lifetime responsibility a pet dog or cat would live up to 12-15 years. The purpose of getting a pet should not be e a status symbol or a kid’s birthday or just a replacement of a brother or sister. There are a lot of medical needs of a pet such as vaccinations and supplement accessories and it is a living being, not a toy it will get sick also and it will get hurt too.

Question – Do they require exercise and a balanced good diet?

Answers Like us it is important that a dog gets proper exercise and a proper diet. Cats are obligate carnivores they require a complete meat-based diet. Dogs being monogastric can have both vegetarian and non-vegetarian diets.

Question – Why do we need to get a pet checked by a vet before getting it home?

Answer: Looking for a good vet is very important as a veterinarian is going to be your pet’s best friend for life he would also understand the body language of your pet. He can screen your pet for any infectious diseases like parvo distemper rabies and all other life-threatening fatal diseases.

ICC Women’s World Cup : Top 5 Indian Players Who Can Bring Home The Cup

Content Captain

March 5, 2022

India is going to go all out to win their maiden women’s cricket world cup in New Zealand. They were the runners up in the last edition of Women’s World Cup in 2017. The Indian women’s cricket team had put up a heroic performance through out the last world cup in England before losing the finals to the hosts at Lord’s by 9 runs.

They were defeated but not disgraced and from that moment Indian team’s journey has only been upwards. They have been playing fantastic cricket consistently. In last few years India has discovered and nurtured a lot of raw talent like Shefali Verma while veterans like Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami have given this team that much needed direction and purpose.

Let’s have a look at top 5 women cricketers who are likely to play a crucial role in India winning the ICC women’s world cup trophy. Here we go –

Mithali Raj

India’s greatest female batter, Mithali Raj has earned a reputation for herself as India’s greatest female batter. In her illustrious career spanning more than two decades, she has scored the most runs in the game. She is the only Indian captain – male or female – to have led the side to two 50-over World Cup finals.

A lot of credit to her success goes to her regimented upbringing in an army family. Her footwork adds grace to her batting style and makes her the queen of covers. During the 2017 ODI World Cup, her 409-run tally in the tournament was second only to England opener Tammy Beaumont’s. She had contributed with three fifties and a century were vital to India’s runners-up finish.

Harmanpreet Kaur

India still remembers Harmanpreet’s impressive strokeplay during her unbeaten 171 in the 2017 World Cup semi-final. That innings had earned her the coveted title of “Harmanpreet Thor”. The effortlessness of her action makes it a thing of beauty as well as brutality. She has got every stroke that matters – slog, conventional, paddle, reverse, to win a match entirely on her own.

Her batting style is an expression of her identity – fearless and unpredictable. She is a rare combination of aggression, power and a strategic mind to outplay the opposition.

Jhulan Goswami

Jhulan Goswami is arguably one of the greatest fast bowlers in the women’s cricket. She has been playing for more than fifteen years and her exemplary leadership skills comes as an added advantage on the field. The highest wicket-takes in women’s cricket, she has the ability to smash the stumps of any player with her lethal Yorkers.

She has played a lot of memorable innings as a batter lower down the order which makes her one of the most diverse players in the game. In the ongoing ICC women’s world cup, Jhulan is definitely going to use her rich experience and bowling skills to destroy the opposition and create chances for India to win the world cup.

Shefali Verma

shafali-verma — Shefali plays explosive innings at the top of the innings

Shefali Verma is an Indian Women Cricketer who belongs to Rohtak in Haryana – a state in north India. She is the youngest woman to play for India in a T20I Match. Shefali Verma is the youngest woman cricketer to score a half-century in International Cricket. She has played a lot of explosive innings as an opening batter in the Indian women’s cricket team.

Her fearless batting style gives the Indian team that much-needed momentum at the start of the innings. The teenager’s strike rate of 76 is a massive boost for India. Her ability to dominate bowlers in the power play is an X factor for India in the showpiece event.

Smriti Mandhana

Smriti Mandhana was awarded the ICC Cricketer of the year award in 2021. The left-hand batter scored 855 in 21 matches across formats and solidified her reputation at the top. Mandhana has the second-best strike rate for India batters. She also has an exceptional track record in run-chases is phenomenal.

This will be the second 50-over World Cup for the southpaw. She will be looking forward to playing a few innings during the tournament that bring the team closer to winning the coveted trophy – ICC women’s world cup, something that they had missed by a whisker in the last edition in England.

Content Captain

March 4, 2022

Karena Kapoor is called the gossip queen of Bollywood for a reason. The actor recently bumped into Kajol outside Mehboob studio on Mumbai and revealed that her sister Karishma has been tested Covid positive.

Kareena revealed a lot during a casual chitchat with Kajol

A video of the incident has gone viral on social media. Both superstars can be seen happily chatting with each other. Kareena talked about her younger son Jeh turning a year old and how she contracted the virus but got free of it. To this, even Kajol added that she also tested positive for COVID-19. It was at that moment when Kareena disclosed that her sister Karishma Kapoor just tested positive for the virus.

Rudra The Edge Of Darkness – Ajay Devgan Thriller A Total Dhamaal or Golmaal Again As His OTT Debut?

Content Captain

March 4, 2022

After much deliberations and a long wait, Ajay Devgan has finally taken the plunge into the hot and happening world of web series on OTT platforms. He has made his debut with a Hotstar Special series Rudra The Edge Of Darkness which has received mixed responses from the audience. It is a remake of Idris Elba’s thriller show Luther and a shot-by-shot copy of it.

Ajay Devgan – a predictable performance

Ajay Devgan is predictable in his role as a cop

There is hardly anything new in his performance. How many times we have seem Ajay Devgan playing the role of a cop taking the law into his own hands. He has just repeated himself in the web series. While his intensity still remains intact, the Bollywood megastar didn’t look completely at ease in his new avatar on an OTT platform. He looks predictable playing a cop – something that he has done throughout his career. You will be disappointed if you are expecting anything different from Ajay Devgan. Its rather unfortunate that the actor of his calibre still chose to operate in a friendly territory even on a new platform.

Rudra The Edge Of Darkness trailer

Ashwini Kalsekar as Commissioner Deepali Handa, Esha Deol as Shaila Addagatla, Raashii Khanna as Dr Aliyah Choksi are anything but noteworthy. Atul Kulkarni and Ashish Vidyarthi, as expected, play their parts effortlessly.

Intense plot is the real hero

The real hero of Rudra The Edge of Darkness is its plot – fast paced, thrilling and leaving no chance to think anything beyond what is going on the screen. It is indeed a well-narrated thriller in which violence gels easily with the narrative. The portrayal of the protagonist as a layered individual is simply brilliant.

The writing is so well that the show never fumbles over the top and some of the mediocre performances hide behind its superb writing. There is adequate drama for the audience to keep them entertained and engrossed in the show. The production is simply outstanding which makes it even more interesting.

The only regret – Ajay Devgan could have taken up a bigger challenge. After all, life is all about new stages, new challenges and new opportunities.

There is a lot of debate in media on why a lot of Indian students choose Ukraine as a preferred destination to study medicine. There is intense competition for a few thousand seats in the medical colleges in India that forces a lot of students to opt for a seat abroad. Every year approximately 8 lac students appear for NEET exams but only a few thousands manage to secure a seat in various medical colleges in India. Many of the aspirants are forced to look for other options.

It is estimated that every year around 25,000 students travel to countries like China, Russia and Ukraine for quality medical education. Many of them are those who fail to crack NEET. Here are the reasons why they didn’t make it to the list of successful candidates. Take a look –

1. They didn’t study the syllabus thoroughly

The NEET syllabus is vast. Most of the students get overwhelmed by the course. They fail to go through the chapters thoroughly and end up doing a mediocre job with the preparations. Most of the times they also do not adhere to the preparation guidelines and keep shooting in the dark that ultimately results in a failure.

2. They didn’t connect and learn with successful candidates

It is essential to connect with the students who have cracked the exam and learn from their experiences. Most of the unsuccessful students are those who do not believe in learning from others’ mistakes. Therefore they repeat the same mistake and meet the same outcome.

3. They lacked discipline

NEET preparation requires a disciplines approach. It demands for a strict timetable lead study regime where there is no scope for a casual way of doing things or doing them at your own pace. A disciplined way and a focused approach is non negotiable when it comes of NEET preparations which unsuccessful candidates lack thoroughly.

4.They didn’t prepare notes

It is essential to prepare notes that are handy and easy to understand. Most of the students do not get into the habit of preparing notes and revising them at regular intervals. They also forget to revise important formulas that makes them commit mistakes while writing the exam.

6. They stayed away from mock tests

This is one of the basic reasons behind the failure in NEET exams. The unsuccessful students are mostly those who do not participate in mock tests hence loose a golden chance to analyse their weak areas and improve them.

7. They lack motivation

To conquer any hurdle, try to be motivated every time. Think positive while preparing for the NEET exams. Do not stress out. Every student has their own learning habit. Those who fail to crack NEET are mostly the ones who lack motivation and the killer instinct to achieve their goals crossing all hurdles.

Bollywood is ruthless so its better to have a plan B, says Bobby Deol as he reinvents himself in the industry

Puja Talwar

March 1, 2022

Bobby Deol – the Bollywood heartthrob in the 90s is now reinventing himself in the industry. His performance in recently released ‘Love Hostel’ has received accolades from all corners. The actor speaks on a large range of issues related to Bollywood in a candid chat with Puja Talwar.

Here are the highlights of the interview –

Audience has changed for good now

It’s always good to be on the opposite side. I am an actor and I always wanted to play negative roles. I think the audience has changed now. They feel happy to see an actor’s performance in a particular role which is really heartening. There is a depth to my character in Love Hostel.

It is a very conscious decision to choose different kinds of roles.

I wanted to change my image and that’s why I said to yes to my role in Love Hostel. It is one-in-a-lifetime kind of character and that’s why it will always remain special.

It was a nice experience working with Sanya and Vikrant

I always love working with people who are grounded and nice. I remember the first day of shooting. Sanya Malhotra and Vikrant Massey walked in and told me that how much they have adored me since Soldier days.

Watch the full interview here –

Have your plan B ready – my advice to all young talents

It was a such a nice gesture. There was no need for that though but I felt good to see their humility and respect for an elder co-star. I was impressed to see their dedication and passion for their work.

Bollywood is much more organised now

The work these days is much more organised – there are workshops, locations are locked much in advance, dialogues are finalised well in time. There were people passionate about their work but they never went into the depth of discussing thigs with each other. All creative people think that what they are doing is the best thing that could have been done. In those days it was all about being natural actors, being spontaneous while this generation knows their craft better.

I never looked at OTT platform as not being cinema

OTT content is as good as cinema. It doesn’t matter that it is not being shown in cinema halls. As an actor, it should not matter to me whether my audience is watching me on a mobile phone screen or an I-pad. My job is to do my job well.

OTT platforms are helping us watch a lot of good content which otherwise won’t have been possible.

It also offers a bigger platform to an actor to experiment or be a part of a lot of creative work happening in this space.

Its always going to be tough to survive in Bollywood

We work in a very ruthless and competitive industry and I think it is not because people are mean but because so many people are trying to get same work. I tell all kids that first get educated as it makes a big difference. It gives you an opportunity to fall back on something if you don’t click in the industry. Even when OTT platforms are giving a lot of opportunities, the competition is always going to be tough. I keep telling my 20-year-old son to study and focus on his work.

A difficult time to relax and remain calm. Reach out to oil friends and spend some quality time with your family that will offer you that much needed peace of mind. The idea is to relax in your zone.

CANCER (June 22-July 22)

There is no point repenting what has already been done. You tried your best to safeguard your family from troubles but sometimes we need a jolt to start afresh. You have got the spark and you have got the attitude. Move on and tell the world that you are still in control of your destiny. Nothing should stop you from underlining your authority.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

A perfect time to be assertive and to move forward in your career decisions. You have all the drive and energy you could want, and it should be easy to channel it. The path is open and clear – all your need is a little bit of conviction. Do not get distracted by what people say, listen to what your heart says.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

Only when you take time to replenish your spirit, will be able to fulfil your sacred purpose and serve others. Solo time is sacred. Sometimes, doing nothing at all is just as important as checking off the tasks on your to-do list and being proactive about your mission to take over the world. So eat, pray, love, and dance a little.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)

Communicate your truth in the most open and honest manner. This will not only clear the clouds of confusion but also make space for joy and harmony in your existence. This is a time of celebrating a relationship milestone. Surprise the world with your new found energy. Keep distance with those who claim to be your friend but always conspire against you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Those who have been playing the dating at mating game may be in the mood to take things to the next level. You are the conscious creator of your destiny. Have the conversation you have been shying away from – right now and in this moment. Seize the opportunity, my friend.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The Universe is conspiring – and it is in a mood to reward you now for all your hard work. A lot of things you are clinging onto have served their purpose. Understand what you need to let go of. It will never be a problem with the heart. It’s convincing the mind that poses as the real challenge here.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

When you assign the task of making you happy to another person, more often than not, you will face disappointment. Nobody understands you the way you do. Free yourself from unrealistic expectations, Aquarius. Focus on creating a life you deserve, one that sparks joy, creativity, and playfulness.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You need to pay more attention to mental health, which you have always neglected. Have an open conversation about the issues that you feel strongly about. You won’t know where they are coming from unless you walk a mile in their shoes.

Make Your Content Go Viral With K-Factor – Its Simple And Its Highly Effective

Content Captain

February 28, 2022

Everyone wants to be a social media star but only few are blessed with the right skills set – both creative and technological to achieve the desired results. Ever wondered why some content work very well while others don’t despite having all the right ingredients in terms of content. There is actually a science that works, a logic-oriented approach that delivers results – ensures an incoming stream of people into the flow of money, without the cost of its acquisition.

It is all about ensuring that one active user invites a few friends, each of them invites a couple more friends, and so on.

…and that is what we call K-Factor which shows how many users led to the project by one of its active user.

How to calculate K-factor?

The formula is very simple –

k-factor = i*c, where i is an average number of invitations sent by one user, c is an average conversion from received invitation into registration.

Let’s assume that each user sends the invitation to one friend in average (i = 1), and every third person who received an invitation is successfully registered (c = 3). In this case, the k-factor = 1 * ⅓ = 33.3%.

K-factor is a smart way to get organic followers

But there are some limitations as well –

There are many instances when the invitation done through the word of mouth where invitations can’t be traced with tangible data points.

How should k-factor be calculated then?

We prefer the following method: k-factor = (organic downloads per period n) / (active users per period n-1).

This formula takes into account all kinds of invitations – online and offline

It is suggested that you monitor k-factor in at least once a month for a realistic picture about your product’s success.

What is a viral cycle?

You download an application, register yourself, start enjoying it and then recommend a friend who downloads the same application after your insistence. The period taken to complete this cycle is called a viral cycle.

In the previous example, the product, at first, had 100 users, and within 33 periods of time, the number of users exceeded one million.

If the period of time to take is a month, you will need 2 years and 9 months to reach one million users.

If the period of time to take is one day, one million is reached after 33 days!

What is the conclusion – the virality is defined by two metrics: k-factor and the viral cycle. Thus, the shorter is the viral cycle, the higher is the k-factor.

How to measure K-factor success?

Its very simple.

if k-factor > churn, more users come than users leave, and your product is going to have exponential growth;

if k-factor = churn, the virality only compensates the churn, and the number of users will be stable;

if k-factor < churn, the churn of users is not compensated by the virality and audience of the project will gradually decline.

You have to constantly brainstorm to increase k-factor is to reduce the viral cycle.

A few useful tips

Use existing social networks of your users. Try and integrate social networks and other services;

Add some benefits for users to invite friends

A stable working paid channels acts as a stimulus

Virality is a sexy term in today’s world where everything is digital and attention span is getting reduced constantly. Work smart, play smart and do not shoot in the dark.

There is a logic behind everything on the internet. Trust that logic.

Its Important To Be Versatile And Honest About Your Work, Says Ananya Pandey

Puja Talwar

Gehraiyaan was a liberating experience

Tia is very similar yet different from who I am in real life. In terms of maturity, am not as mature as she is. I am very impulsive, while she takes time before she says anything. I tried to play her character as honestly as possible. There is a lot about her secrets, her baggage and getting into those nuisances was a treat.

I have never been to anything in my life that Tia has gone through. I was given the liberty to play the character the way I like and that was very liberating.

I want to do everything honestly

I want to do everything honestly and do not want to confine myself to a particular genre. I have grown up watching those masala Bollywood movies. I love horror films; I love romantic films and I want to do films with full honesty. I will let my work speak. I want to get more chances where I play more complex female characters.

Its important to strike a balance between digital and real world, says Ananya Pandey

Important to strike a balance between digital and real world

My upcoming film ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’ is going to be one such film. It is about three friends; social media and it is a very important thing to tell where everything is digital now. I have grown up in an environment where I have always been exposed to digital but I also feel that somewhere we have become too reliant on digital, so much so that we sometimes forget to connect in the real world because we are so much caught up with the digital world. Social media has its advantages, there is no doubt, but somewhere we need to draw boundaries.

I have learnt to take bouquets and brickbats on the chin

I really get affected when people criticise my work but I also get motivated. I often times detach myself and connect with those who have are close to me. That gives me a lot of strength.

Liger is a masala popcorn entertainer film

Liger a full masala movie that has action, drama, romance – everything that makes it an ideal movie to be watched as a community with a packet of popcorn. It’s a pan India film and am very excited to be venturing into four different industries at the same time. It is very overwhelming.

Monday Horoscope : February 28, 2022 – How The Day Looks Like For You, What To Do And What To Avoid Today

Content Captain

February 28, 2022

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You can’t hide something that’s not there. It’s why emptiness is so embarrassing. It’s why people feel driven to fill it with just about anything around. Be sensitive to lack. Everyone lacks something. Celebrate what you have and do not get offended if someone comes and tells you how you should lead your life. Do what you feel is right.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You may be by yourself for hours today, but you won’t feel lonely, largely because your noble thoughts and extraordinary interests keep you company. You must reach out to those who you once admired but lost contact over the years. No point repenting what has already happened. Start afresh.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)

The amateurs complain that they weren’t meant for this activity or that one. It’s not true. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing; you shine through it. You can’t help but be you. Help a stranger today who might be struggling to make both ends meet. Generosity never goes waste. Love life looks promising.

CANCER (June 22-July 22)

A wise man once suggested that the best government governs the least. He trusted human nature and expected that people usually will discipline themselves. Do you think that’s true? Today will make you wonder as you will realise that best plans are the ones which have never been planned. Take the life as it comes and live the moment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Here’s a case for articulation and specificity: The right words ring through you, resonating with your very being and shaking loose the tarnishing muck. Those words that are close but not right have no resonance. Do not make empty promises to anyone. Think deep before you make any commitments. Stay away from those who build pressure and get things done.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

When inaction is the norm, it takes boldness — some would say insanity — to act. You have the guts to make a difference. You’ll set the wheels in motion and be admired. You have done that in the past and shined through it. Stick to your gut feelings and step out of your comfort zone of required.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

The most exciting person to be around is the one who challenges you, catches you off guard and makes you feel alive. Such a person will come into your life within the week. Respect that person and do whatever is required to achieve your goals and realise your true potential. You are born to make a difference. Do not waste it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)

Invest what you have in a safe bet, or in the ordinary things on which you would normally focus your energy. If you don’t have the goods yet, build them and grow them before promising them away. Stay debt-free. Spend what you earn and save for the future as well. Do not get involved in petty fights at workplace.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Look ahead and decide whether you have the means to get there or not. This is no time for conjecture. You can’t jump a chasm in two leaps. You just need to carry on the momentum. Nothing should stop you from achieving what you have always dreamt of achieving – not even your dark secrets.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

A wise man once said that love is life. However, “love” is also one of the most ambiguous words in the human language. You’ll explore what it means to you and come up with a few defining principles. Someone you once loved is going to reach out to you for some advice. Do not disappoint yourself. Stay true to your feelings.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Destiny suggests you’ll be rekindling the past. It takes a long time to know someone, and if you’ve been apart for a few years, the getting-to-know-you process must happen all over again, as people change. Change is always good and you should understand that whatever happens, happens for a cause. Celebrate the complexities of life like you have always done.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your love life has been a combination of exhilarating highs and disheartening lows, so much so that you welcome the easy, uneventful, coasting sensation you’ll get today. Career prospects looks better than before. Your hard work is going to give you a lot of things to cheer about. Stay happy even if situation looks extremely tough.

Hometown Cha Cha Cha Review : Vitamin Sea And A Whole Lot of Love And Hope

Content Captain

February 27, 2022

Hometown Cha Cha Cha full moviReview — Hometown Cha Cha Cha full movie Review

It was warm and comforting like a frayed sweater or a soft worn down duvet.. the scenic sea side town of Gongjin and its small community of people brought back memories of my own childish paintings of fantastical towns with heartwarming people who always had each other’s back despite the storms, the heartbreaks.

Yes, I am taking about the recently concluded K Drama Home Town Cha Cha Cha which may have ended on a high note but no sooner had the final credits rolled, its sweetness turned sour as its lead actor Kim Seon Ho’s personal life became food for tabloid fodder.

So does it take away the endearing Du Sik or the brilliance of Seon Ho’s acting chops, of course not.

Home Town Cha Cha which is the drama adaptation of the 2014 Korean Film “MR Handy MR Hong” ticked many boxes for me, lets start with the first: the scenic picture postcard perfect landscape of Gongjin. We need to give it to Korean Drama’s and their tourism promotional skills, I literally wanted to teleport myself to Gongjin, it’s skies which magically turned from sky blue to pink, to golden and midnight blue, its silver sands and the one lighthouse which seemed to be a guardian overlooking its many inhabitants.

Gonjin is actually the prime character here which has a magnetic appeal to draw people to it.

Now comes the plot which on the surface is simple but it’s many subplots and characters are so relatable that you actually end up thinking you are either one of them or they resemble someone you know or have known.

So we are introduced to the smart, ambitious Yoon Hye jin (Shin Min-ah)who loves her high end brands as much as she loves drilling or fitting implants into people’s teeth , yes she is a Dentist who quits the clinic where she works since she does not want to compromise on her ethics and lands up at Gongjin a place which holds a special place in her heart. Our impulsive heroine does the unexpected she decides to move bag and baggage to Gongjin which she does she refer to as the “boondocks”. but feels it could be the best place to establish her clinic with the hope of returning back to the bright lights and big city someday.

A story of happiness, self containment and love

Here we meet Hong Du Sik (Kim Seon Ho) popularly called Chief Hong, who is the town’s chief handyman, there is nothing that Du Sik can’t do, all for a wage. He is the first person Hye jin runs into little realising that in life nothing is a coincidence. So, do sparks fly ?Well not really since Hye Jin’s prickly sophisticated personality is the bang opposite to Du Sik’s easy going laid back attitude, who remarks “ money and success aren’t the lonely valuable things in life. Happiness, self contentment and love are”.

As, he encourages Hye jin to not take life too seriously to stop and smell the ocean, soak under the pouring rain, to give up pretences and embrace people for what they are .

Now talking about its many inhabitants, the widowed father who keeps recounting his days as a singer, runs a cafe which does not sell the best coffee and dotes after his teenage daughter who is obsessed with a boy band. We then have a divorced mother who runs a restaurant and her many skirmishes with her former husband who also lives in the same town keep erupting the moment they set eyes on each other, the only bond that binds them is their son.

A couple who run a supermarket and are expecting their second child together have their own issues to the town’s chief gossip who also runs a restaurant and then we have the shy cop who Hye Jin’s friend falls for. My favourite being the granny Kim Gam Ri (Kim Young Ok) fiercely independent and self sufficient and her friends who make up for the rest of Gongjin’s motley crew who know everything about each other and anyones business becomes everyone’s as well.

So as we see Hye Jin dropping her prickly exterior which Du Sik describes that of a Hedgehog whom she has involuntarily taken in, we see an attraction growing between our two leads whose dimples and personalities are kind of infectious and even despite their quirks they grow on you.Whether it is Du Sik’s obvious jealousy when faced with another wheel in his love story with the arrival of Seyong Hun( Lee Sang yi) or Hye Jin’s own frustrations with Du Sik who is unwillingly to let her into his past which haunts him.

Shin Min ah and Kim Seon Ho are two strong actors who play their part convincingly.There are moments when I would get irritated with Hye jin and then think “oh my lord don’t I behave like this too”. Du Sik who plays the perfect boyfriend obliging to fulfil her “dating bucket list” or Hye jin who literally burns water in the kitchen making an effort to cook for him, does make your heart go “awwww”.

But as we have seen in several K dramas , every character in the narrative is important with their own back stories as on one hand there is a love story playing out on the other there are basic human issues of self acceptance, loss, abandonment , regret , guilt and heartbreak unfolding around which are dealt with sensitively .

Yes, the popular KDrama trope of a “childhood connection” makes an appearance but this Drama has a universeal appeal.As I told a friend it’s like Korean version of a “Rajshri Film” with it’s strong sense of community, family ties, love, tears, drama and lots of hope. Hope is what we need in times like this and basic belief in humanity and compassion.

And last but not the least the soundtrack, as I write this I have “ Romantic Sunday “ playing on loop, so I suggest watch it if you haven’t and rewatch if you have after all who doesn’t need Vitamin Sea, Love and some fun. HomeTown Cha Cha cha is a warm hug we all need and crave for.

Serious About A Relationship? Invest In Trust And Reap Benefits For The Whole Life

Content Captain

February 26, 2022

A relationship with no trust is like a car without fuel. You can stay in it, but it won’t go anywhere.

Trust is the most important thing in a relationship. It won’t work if you don’t trust each other. Many couples drift apart after a few years of a cozy romantic relationship because of the lack of trust, because of constant lies and also because of the fact that one partner starts feeling that cheating is a fair business practice in a relationship.

No, it is not and never will be. Truthfulness is a virtue that keep the bond strong and relationship alive. If there is no trust, there won’t be any relationship because trust is the foundation stone of any relationship specially between a couple.

There is a reason why a wise man has once that

‘Give the person you love honesty, respect, trust and passion or be prepared to watch from the sidelines as someone else does it’.

Here we are giving you top tips to build trust in a relationship. Have a look –

Tip #1: Honor your words

You should not flip flop once you have said something or promised something. Your commitment should never be compromised and any diversion from your promise should be communicated to your partner precisely and clearly. You should not take him / her for granted.

Decisions should always be taken only after deep thinking and evaluating every pros and cons. You should always keep your partner informed whenever you are taking a decision – big or small that may make an impact on your life. The best way is to communicate with your partner regularly and transparently without any baggage.

Truth is the basis of all successful relationships

Tip #3: Consistency is important

Always remember your words and be consistent. Do not change your opinions or views or perceptions frequently as it creates a lot confusion and makes you a person with a dubious character. You should be firm once you have made your opinion and stick to that doesn’t matter what other may feel about it.

Tip #4: Honesty is the best policy

Honest always pays. You should always keep your partner informed if you have committed a mistake. You will be forgiven for committing a mistake but hiding it from your partner may invite a lot of heart burn in future. It is always a good policy to be honest about your work, relationship and financial conditions to ensure that your partner’s trust in you remains intact.

OTT Platforms Have Expanded The Scope Of Creativity In Film Making – Madhuri Dixit Nene

Content Captain

February 26, 2022

Madhuri Dixit has enthralled the audience with her acting skills for many years now. She is one of the most gifted dancers in Bollywood. She stayed away from limelight after getting married but she started from where he left after coming back to Mumbai. Fame Game – her new show on Netflix has generated a lot of buzz already.

Puja Talwar spoke to her on her journey so far and experience of working for an OTT platform. Here are the excerpts of the interview –

What is it really like being Madhuri Dixit?

I don’t think about it that way. I look at life in a different way. You can’t put yourself in a slot. I want to learn new things every day. I now want to learn tennis because my husband and kids play tennis. I don’t look at myself as an actress and star. I am a human being first – who is a mother, a daughter more than anything else. That’s the way I live life. If during that time, if I influence people, change someone and inspire people – then its case.

Continuous learning is the key to success

I go to set as a student even today. I want to learn something new on the set from people around me, from my co-stars. I don’t think about myself as someone who has spent so many years in the industry, instead I live in that moment.

New medium, new experience but same responsibility

Every time you do a role, you have to out your best foot forward. You have to be at your best. In today’s world, people may be watching you on a big or a small screen but you have to be performing well continuously. For me working on an OTT platform is a new experience, there is more time to tell your story, develop a character and that is why people binge watch because they get drawn into it. I think we have managed to do that in Fame Game to let people see our world and see what goes behind the curtain.

Watch the full interview here –

Madhuri Dixit says OTT platforms have opened up scope for creativity in film making

OTT platforms have changed the rules of the game

OTT platforms give you a chance to experiment a lot because they don’t have to deal with the pressures of box office collections. You can tell your story in a certain way, the way you want to make it and take through. You see so many watching Korean drama, someone if watching Spanish series and you get introduced to so many different varieties of film making, different cultures and you get inspired to experiment and they love doing it.

Women oriented stories used to be all about revenge but today women-oriented roles have got a different tone altogether. That has happened because of the scope of creativity that OTT platforms provide to filmmakers.

Its tough being a public figure in today’s age

Being a public figure has own challenges. You are at the airport struggling to figure out your luggage and people are insisting for a selfie. Everyone has a smartphone these days and getting a selfie with the people they admire may be a once-in-a-life opportunity. That is a problem but that’s the world we live in and we really can not complain about it.

Reuniting with Sanjay Kapoor was fun

We had a great camaraderie when we did Raja and its great to see how much he has grown as an actor. He has got many one-liners which cracks everyone up. We picked up from where we left. It was so much fin working with him after so many years.

February 26, 2022

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr. 20)

Perseverance is the key today. Do not get overwhelmed by the circumstances around you as they are going to change for better very soon. Some serious work related conversations are expected, but whether these succeed is up to you. You’ll have to work out what a partner really wants.

TAURUS (Apr. 21 – May 21)

Your biggest worry is that somebody is likely to go behind your back. Watch out for those who are planning to do a lot of things without consulting you. Your uncertainties are likely to derail a lot of plans but you need to be slightly smart to avoid any major setback. Your love life looks promising but someone may be very happy to see you finding your love interest.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21)

You have always dealt with adverse situations with utmost grace but some of the people around you may not be as magnanimous. Attempts to deal with children may be more time-consuming than usual, but that’ something you can live with. Invest in gold as it is likely to fetch good results.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23)

Those of you in the middle of family or domestic complications should find that there are a number of solutions. Maintain a sense of principle and morality, check out legal details and seek assistance from friends. You’ll take decisions which make up for the past, but there could still be further delays.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23)

Why this should be a time of strained relationships is not entirely clear. The problem is that a deep reservoir of goodwill seems to be upset by a tendency to rash and possibly resentful statements. I think you need to give partners the benefit of the doubt – at least for now.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23)

The pace of events is due to accelerate today, perhaps beyond what you find comfortable. However, the best way to cope with such change is to accept that the unexpected may happen – and adapt accordingly. Don’t be disturbed by delays- they’re all part of life’ rich tapestry.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23)

If anyone is guilty of unreasonable behaviour, it may be you. This may sound like a rather harsh judgment, but with the Moon in a particularly stormy mood, your emotions are definitely being whipped up. You probably feel like giving a partner a piece of your mind. Whether you should do so is another matter!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22)

This is no time to harangue friends or associates who are having a hard time. They need your support and enthusiasm, not your criticism. It’ a moment for care and compassion, not competition. After all, you can achieve so much more if you work with people rather than against them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 22)

It seems likely that, even though there is a risk of social friction, you’ll be happiest when mixing in large groups. You may feel trapped by people who get you on your own, possibly with romantic designs. But always remember – nobody can do anything you don’t want them to.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 23 – Jan. 20)

Today’ impressionable Moon adds light to the night sky and inspiration to your life. The important consideration at such times is whether you are prepared to put your plans into effect. If you’re feeling up to it, you can always go along with whatever is happening – and don’t panic if the pace becomes a little too hot.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19)

You are most likely to resolve all pending issues with determination this week. You are also going to see a lot positive development on matters related to legal foreign connections and educational ambitions. This is the best time to plan for holidays, combining pleasure with self-improvement.

Aries

You could be stressed today as too many ideas interfere with each other and cause confusion. Do not allow moods to affect your clarity about goals, as they are temporary. Take one steady step at a time to climb the ladder of success. Relationships are loving. Lucky number 8. Colour white.

Taurus

The wisdom of ‘The Hermit’ inspires you to make new beginnings and move in a creative direction at work today. Insight and intuition can be trusted when making decisions and choices. You can be stubborn but need to be flexible and open to progressive ideas. Lucky number 9. Colour red.

Gemini

A gentle and kind approach helps you to get your point across in personal and business partnerships. You are mentally strong and stand to win any argument or debate in a controversy. Media involvement and exposure can give you an opportunity for expression. Lucky number 6. Colour turquoise.

Cancer

People sometimes do the strangest things. Just now it looks very much as if you’ll be able to pull off a minor coup in the eccentricity stakes. Do you have enough cheek to get away with it? I think you do, but you’d better be warned that a close partner may have just lost their sense of humour!

Leo

Home and family foibles seem to occupy your attention today. Even at work there’ll be a sense in which you’re part of one big family. This is all very nice, but just remember that close relations are likely to squabble amongst themselves, and that you might get sucked in.

Virgo

It’s surprising how much your attitudes to money are bound up with fears and feelings about emotional security. I told you yesterday how cash complaints could come between you and a colleague or partner. Now is the time to understand why this should be so.

Libra

Your sunny disposition could carry you over a misunderstanding. Excessive feelings emerge from a discussion with a loved one. You often have excessively emotional moments with this person. A situation might not be as you see it. Tonight: Say “yes” to an unbelievable offer.

Scorpio

Share more of your thoughts with a friend who does not hesitate to play devil’s advocate. You are better off being less demanding and more laid-back. You will hear some wild statements from someone whose views you generally respect. Tonight: Follow the music.

Capricorn

Common sense and your imaginative abilities will help you wade through the day without any catastrophe. You brain will get a new sense of its capabilities and you will have become more supportive and confident with the people who matter. Change your attitude at home to be stress free.

Aquarius

If you are not sure about how to handle a situation it is best to take some advice. Certain situations are just too delicate to handle alone. You and your family still have some issues to resolve, but you are not to hasten the day as you are not too sure on how to address the issues. Be patient with your life partner.

Pisces

Expanding your abilities comes with some education for most of you. You will be better equipped with the abilities to see things through at the office because of an international resource. Once you have made up your mind there will be little others can do to change it. Stick to your original plans as they are stable and completely different from others.

Girls with curls are unique. I love my hair. I took my time to really accept my curly hair. I had major insecurities because of my curly hair as a school going girl but now, I am proud of my curly hair. I do get clicked everyday while doing promotions but I insist not using any filter because I believe in accepting myself the way I am – self acceptance is a key to happiness in life.

I love my body and that is the reason why I said no to blur out the cellulite on the back of my thighs. I don’t use foundation; I love the way I look in my natural skin.

I love playing real characters

I believe that the kind of work that you do is a reflection of your personality – the kind of person you are in real life. I have played characters that I see in my day-to-day life. I am grateful to writers also for bringing out different kind of characters on the silver screen. I have met so many girls in real life who are very close to the characters I have played in films. That gives me a lot of satisfaction.

Love Hostel reveals my typical Delhi girl personality

The character that am playing in Love Hostel is that of a typical Delhi girl – plain speaking and confident. She is inspired by her grandmother; she is full of hope, unapologetic and she is proud of everything that she is and she knows what she wants. Vikrant has also played his character so well, his is a very layered performance. He is just perfect as Ashu who is very careful in his approach.

Working with Vikrant was a breezy experience. It was so nice and easy working with him. It didn’t take me long to find that chemistry with him, that rhythm with him. We did a very intense scene and I was blown away by the way he handled everything – his preparation, his knowledge everything.

I am excited about Sam Bahadur

When Meghna Gulzar first narrated the character of Silloo, I was so surprised since the character was so close to what I am in real life. When I read the script, I realised that I want to be in it, in the movie. I am really looking forward to this year since very soon am going to be on the set with them – Vicky Kaushal, Fatima and Meghna and I want to live that experience.

I want to do a dance-oriented role

I am manifesting a dance-oriented role but it’s really not happened in all these years. Now, I have left it to destiny, you know sometimes things happen when you stop bothering about them. I am sure it will happen soon – maybe I will find that kind of role and my soulmate together.

Women oriented roles are the flavor of the season

I am so happy to see that there are many women lead films happening in the industry now and I really want to be a part of a few of them. I have already done a few and feel happy to be a part of this change in the industry.

Breakups Are Unfortunate But There Is A Silver Lining As Well. So, Cheer Up.

Breakups Are Unfortunate some Positive tips

No one wants to go through the terrible feeling of breaking up with the person who they have once loved and adored. There is a feeling of betrayal, heartbreak and looks like the whole world is falling apart. Sometime the sense of loss is gets so intense that people take extreme steps. Many times they could not get the energy to start life afresh and wait for more beautiful things to happen.

Does it have to be this way all the time? No, not at all. Breakups are indeed unfortunate but they also open up the world of new opportunities for you. Lets take a look at some positives that we can take away from breakups –

Bring back focus on yourself

Some people who are in a relationship don’t get time for themselves. Breaking – up gives time, to learn from the mistakes, it makes you analyze what life is and not depend on others for your happiness.

A fresh perspective

Sometimes you are dating a person that may not be right for you for your future perspective and your personal life will be affected if you are dating the wrong person. A good person always treats you good and makes you happy all the time.

An opportunity to discover true love

Leaving the wrong relationship will make you available to find your true love or the right person. You should take your time to recover but should also be ready to embrace a whole new life. A life that may be even more beautiful. You just have to show some perseverance and some willingness to leave a bitter past behind you.

A chance to go back to your close friends

When somebody is in a relationship, they don’t get time to even talk to their close ones whether their friend or family members. Breaking up gives you time to interact with your family members and friends and then take whatever advice they give you seriously. Talking to them may give you a whole new meaning to your life. You will get the solace that you have been looking for a long time.

Makes you emotionally stronger

Emotions are good and healthy. But emotions like blaming people and judging people for your own mistakes is not good behaviour. Learning from your errors will help you to go long way in life. Most of the people come out from the feeling of hurt and betrayed in some way. You should always learn from your mistakes and move on.

Saves you from an abusive relationship

When you are in love, it is not easy to focus on the toxic side of a person. The person misleads you, beating you up, abusing you or insulting you and you are staying with him/her blindly by “love” until that person breaks up with you or you are forced to do break up. It is always a better idea to break up with such a person and start afresh.

A chance to learn from your mistake

You break up with someone because they always hurt you or disrespect you. when you meet your next lover you at that time you will not do these same mistakes. You will not want your next lover to go through the pain that your ex gone through.

Offices Are Now Open. These 10 Tips Will Help You As You Start Going Back To Office

Content Captain

February 21, 2022

It seems that the pandemic induced disruptions in our lives are over and we have left the worst behind us. The third wave of the pandemic has ebbed. There is optimism all around since the third wave didn’t prove to be as damaging as the second wave which had created a havoc. Life is now slowly but steadily returning back to the pre-pandemic era with the opening of offices and educational institutes.

There are people who are happy at the prospect of going back to office but there are large number of people who are not very comfortable with the idea of working from office again. A lot of people are finding it difficult to get aligned with the older ways of functioning – going to office, sitting on a chair for 10 hours and getting along with colleagues in an amicable way.

Here are top 10 tips that will help you sail through this phase smoothly. Take a look –

Rule # 1: Listen more and talk less

Working in an office, try to be as humble and polite as possible. Listen more, talk less and observe a lot. Keep making mental notes of everything happening around you. Let other people speak first and make sure you are using active listening skills.

Rule # 2: Stay away from blame game

Everyone makes mistakes. Do not blame co-workers for your mistakes. Avoid making excuses. Apologize and focus on your work, focus on fixing the problem. Don’t be afraid or feel shy to ask for help from your seniors if you need it.

Rule # 3: Discourage gossiping

Stay away from those who are only gossiping throughput the day. There should be no gossiping at work. There are individuals who generally gossip about others. They are only wasting time and creative a destructive environment. Do not be a part of their coterie instead maintain a safe distance from such people.

Rule # 4: No personal comments

This one is one of the most important rules in a corporate environment. Do not get personal even if you feel that a particular person is trying to sabotage a project or creating unnecessary hurdled for you. Its best to reach out to your manager, have a healthy discussion and figure out a way to deal with such people or circumstances.

Rule # 5: Stay humble

There are individuals who generally consider themselves above everybody else and they start making their own rule at the workplace. This behaviour will affect your performance at work. Don’t act like a superstar. If you want to do the best thing, try to do an extra thing like try to help your co-worker, be available and proactive come up with ideas and solutions.

Rule # 6: No abusive comments

You should always mind your language and stay away from any kind of abusive language at the workplace. Your language reflects a lot about you and you should always be careful of the words that you choose to speak. They go a long distance and could make or dent your reputation at the workplace forever.

Rule # 7: Do not own someone else’s mistake

You should never own up things that you are not responsible for. Helping a friend is always a good idea but owning up mistake committed by them is not only a bad idea but also a very destructive approach as it makes people complacent. It should be avoided as it leads to serious consequences as they will never be able to learn from their mistakes.

Rule # 8: Avoid interruption

When the Manager is talking with someone, try not to interrupt him/her at work. It will not only frustrate the person but also give a negative impression about you. Let people finish what they have to stay, think before you put up a point and then you will be able to earn the respect for yourself.

Rule # 9: No false promises

Do not make promises that you can’t keep. Not honouring your words may damage your reputation forever and you may not be able to earn the confidence of your peers if you keep promising things that you can’t deliver. It is always a better idea to think deep before committing anything.

Rule # 10: Be punctual

Employers expect their employees to come to work on time. Sometime, there may be genuine reasons but that can not be a norm. Remember, when you arrive late, the productivity and profitability of the business effects. Train yourself in a way that you reach office in time. Lame excuses only make you an object of ridicule and you certainly won’t like that.

Gangubai Kathiawadi is all set to release in theatres and there is a lot of buzz already about the movie. Movie trailers have given a glimpse of yet another power packed performance by Alia Bhatt who plays the main protagonist in the movie. Alia has revealed how this film was a life changing experience for her and she has emerged as a different person altogether after completing the shooting for the film.

There are many interesting facts about the film which make it even more special. Lets take a look –

Fact #1 : Ganga Harjeevandas Kathiawadi was a native of Gujarat who earned a name for herself as one of Mumbai’s well-known and influential brothel owners in the 50s and 60s.

Fact #2 : Gangubai is said to have been a proponent of the rights of commercial sex workers and apparently lobbied with politicians on this issue.

Fact #3 : A film starring actor Alia Bhatt is facing legal trouble after individuals claiming to be family members of the main protagonist, Gangubai Kathiawadi, have objected to her portrayal in the film.

Fact #4 : Deepika Padukone was very keen to play Gangubai Kathiawadi. But Bhansali decided against casting Padukone for this very reason: he wanted to experiment with a someone else who could do justice to the role.

Fact #5 : The film is very close to the director Sanjay Leela Bhansali for many reasons. It has been shot shot two streets away from where Bhansali lived during his growing years.

Depression can be defeated. We Just Have To Start Looking At It Without Any Stigma.

Dr. Rakesh Kumar

February 20, 2022

Depression is ranked as the single largest contributor to global disability. Prevention programmes have been shown to reduce depression. Effective community approaches to prevent depression include school-based programmes to enhance a pattern of positive thinking in children and adolescents.

We spoke to Dr Rakesh Kumar, Resident, RBTB Hospital on the issue of depression. Here are the excerpts of the interview –

Question -1: What is depression? How feeling of sad or low mood can be differentiated from depression?

Answer – Well, depression is very common these days. You must have heard a lot of people around saying things like – I don’t know what is going on, I am feeling exhausted and sad all the time. I have been waking up since the middle of night and I cannot fall back asleep. It has started interfering with my daily routine activities. I have no appetite left and I feel worthless. I cannot concentrate anywhere either I am just thinking or I am quitting. This may be early signs of depression.

So, what is depression? Depression is also known as Major Depressive Disorder or MTT. It is a common and serious medical illness, that impacts on person’s thinking, feeling and behaviour, they can have an impact on daily activities like eating, sleeping, and working. Remember, depression affects three domains around which whole depression revolves around which are emotions, that is sadness, the way we think that is cognition, and thirdly, how do you behave when we have sadness.

Symptoms like the constant sadness or weight loss or weight gain, inability to sleep or oversleep, severe fatigue, feeling worthless or guilt, loss of interest in the pleasurable activities which we once enjoyed and thoughts of death or suicide.

All over the world, 300 million people suffer from depression. Unfortunately, depression not only affects the person, but the whole family and even affects the whole society. Depression is worse in the course of the treatment of other chronic illnesses. A depressed patient refuses to take medications they may not be active they may have a sedentary lifestyle, may start smoking or start using drugs or alcohol to overcome the depression and this causes a huge amount of morbidity and mortality.

One of the very important aspects is how can we differentiate sadness from depression See, sadness and happiness fluctuations are present in our day-to-day life. Sadness is a common emotion felt by everyone. Mere feeling of sadness or loneliness does not mean, it is depression. It becomes depression only when it becomes more pronounced in terms of duration which should at least present for two weeks pervasiveness that is the continuation of the significant signs and symptoms. This is a treatable medical condition just like asthma or diabetes.

Question 2. There is a lot of stigma attached to depression. People often hesitate to seek professional help. How can we overcome that?

Answer – It is not a weakness or personality trait should will vanish on its own. Just like if a person has a broken hand, we need to treat it and make it work again. We can’t expect that hand will be healed on its own. I suggest that an open conversation about mental illness should help erode stigma and make it easier for people to ask for help. So, let’s talk about depression at every level, from patient to society level, because society has also an important role in terms of making help out and not making them feel guilty.

Question 3. What are the causes and risk factors related to depression?

Answer – See, our thoughts, feeling, and behaviour are influenced by complex series of chemicals that is neurotransmitters in our brain. So, depression occurs because of various chemical imbalances in our bodies. Like in diabetes, insulin deficiency or imbalance occurs in our body. Likewise, in depression, neurotransmitters like serotonin, nor epinephrine, and dopamine become less. So, depression is not a matter of choice, not a matter of individual fault. It is not a matter of only circumstances. We can understand that by means of the bio psychological model, what is it? Bio means genetics and neurotransmitters. Psychological means personality, how we interfere with problems in life and social means environmental factors. So, both the cause and treatment of depression are interrelated. Let’s come over genetics, genetics is one of the most common causes, if the parents have depression, that is, there is an increased risk of depression.

Question – 4. Once someone is diagnosed with depression, what are the different modalities of treatment that they should go for to fight it out?

Answer – As I earlier told depression, like other illnesses is treatable. So, what are the different modalities of treatment? One is nonpharmacological treatment in which physical activity plays an important role. Other is diet means adopting healthy habits taking fruits and vegetables and psychotherapy in which cognitive behavioural therapy and interpersonal therapy are important. This psychotherapy depends heavily on the therapist’s mental health, health professional, or doctor second modality of treatment is pharmacological therapy. That is medications. There are several medications available for depression. The third is electroconvulsive therapy in severe cases ECT that is electroconvulsive therapy may be used. Apart from that, other newer modalities of treatment are also available. So my advice for patients and society is to keep a regular appointment with your doctor or other mental health professionals.

Question – 5. What is your advice to patients and society?

Answer – If you are diagnosed with depression, try not to isolate yourself. Spend time with others and confine the person you can trust. Be active. Exercise can boost your mood, and sleep quality also helps a lot. Involve your friends in fun activities. They can help you stay active. Ask your doctor where you can find information and educate yourself about depression. Have realistic goals. Spend time with family and friends. Postpone any big decision during depressive episodes. Even just openly talking about depression can help save a lot of lives.
