Babe! Just listen.

Selfies, mascara, crop tops and being beautiful is all the parameters that women around me are obsessed with. Wonder what happened to learning skills that could be educational and sustainable. It’s a man world out there for the very reason that they care more in life than vanity. No, I ain't an outcast nor am I a self-proclaimed teacher who is questioning your way of life. But, I do believe there is much more out there to add to a personality than painting it with chemicals in the name of winning ego wars under the belief of marketers who happen to be preying on fools like us; some of these smart marketers would never even wear any of those chemicals on their skin, thank you! You have been warned.

Obviously there is importance to beauty, or else the world would have been just testosterone war. But, beauty with brains are becoming as scarce as natural energy and depleting daily. Measures, you ask? Well, add some real skill below that skin of yours. Heard of Mary Kom? Yes, she didn't put on make-up but she can do that with equal ease and knock someone down with a straight too. Don’t start wielding a boxing glove, but with the situation we are in, I don’t mind you all gearing up for Judo or Kick-boxing classes. It will not only help you understand your body better but can be really helpful in building core strength and also opening the jar which is stuck. Also, apparently knowing numbers was a male thing. Really? Shakuntala Devi is my answer to that. I bet she knew nothing about the fad, but everything about calculus.

I am neither denouncing the mother who works and/or a homemaker or saying their skill is any less, but if we don’t make most of the opportunities or get inspired by these stories, I bet we have lost the saneness already. This also leads to the trivial problem which lies in clingy dating. Women become so dependent on the ‘other half’, they forget their own goals. When in a relationship, we tend to lose our individuality.

The point is, your first wrinkle would appear and life will happen, sooner than you think. Beauty fades when it’s on the skin. Develop the person within. 

Elevate your achievements to such a height that they bow down with respect.

Truth be told, the female kind is the nicest among the lot. We give up too easily, sometimes for our parents and mostly for ‘4 log kya kahenge’. Fight! Nothing comes easy. You don’t necessarily have to be physically strong to stop a man from messing with you. True, we have to grab the inches for everything; yet stand and explain to re-validate ourselves.

Here’s a fun fact- Bullet proof vests, fire escapes, windshield wipers & laser printers were all invented by women. Surprised much? So ladies, let’s go out there & make these accomplishments on a frequent basis. Be beautiful, be intelligent.

Stem Cells

A dvertisements of umbilical cord banking have been surfacing for many years now. To quieten my curious mind with the many doubts I had about this therapy and its importance, I spoke to PhD students working in the Vascular Biology lab of Principle Investigator Prof. Maneesha Inamdar in Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research . Here are excerpts from my discussion with them on their research. In layman's terms, what are stem cells and why are they important? Deeti Shetty:   Stem cells are of different types based on their potency. Pluripotent cells are cells which are most primitive; they give rise to an organism. Interest was born in Embryonic Stem Cells (ESC) because from these cells you can give rise to all cell types in your body. They self-renew & they can also differentiate into various types. We study the transition of embryonic stem cells to adult cells & also how these cells are formed. And what are the medical applications of stem c...

Pink Beach

Pink Beach is the story of India's largest salt desert, the temples and palaces of Gujarat. This trip that a bunch of us took to Gujarat a few years ago starts with Ahmedabad, but only up until our flight lands there. We took a little bit of a detour before we could start exploring the city. Mount Abu is a hill station in the neighboring state of Rajasthan and isn't very far, so we decided to drive up there. Here, we stayed at Hotel Gujarat, which is an old house converted into a commercialized old house. In Mount Abu, we first went over to the absolutely serene looking and welcoming Gyan Sarovar or the Om Shanti Om complex, which is home to the Brahma Kumaris. The lessons of listening to your inner soul were repeated so many times, it's imprinted in my head now. We woke up the next day to noise of rain droplets and a foggy sky. Maybe staying back an extra day was a bad idea after all, voiced everyone. But it didn't take very long for that opinion to change as the sun ...

It's okay to be picky. 9: Prioritize people. Your time is too precious to spend on the ones that don't really matter. 10: You can always do & apologize after, rather than ask before. But the same theory doesn't apply with words, it's always best to think through instead of having a shoe in mouth. 11: Neither success nor failure sho...
