Editor’s Letter
Namaste, A few days ago our
HRD Minister Shri Ramesh
Pokhriyal informed the country
about the new education policy. I
used to discuss this in my family
and friend circle for a long time in
our old education policy. I was
greatly impressed by the fact that
in this education policy, Co-
Curricular activities have been
given importance. I have seen many such friends who wanted to make their passion their
future, but due to the old education policy, they could not do so.
This has been happening for a long time and many parents have come out about it many times,
this is a topic that has taken a long time to improve which is the burden of the students' bags.
After understanding this new education policy, I believe that after relief from the burden of
the bag of the students, the students will also get mental freedom.
But the question in the new education policy is how will we facilitate it. I have seen that there
are many schools which lack space which is operated in a house or a building. This new
education policy has become a matter of thinking for all those schools.
A very big topic has come up for those schools where fees were charged in the name of
activities, but their theory just studied. In my own student life, I saw teachers who believed
that bookish knowledge is everything.
It is hoped that now the parents will not put the burden of education on the children, nor will
the children take the stress of getting fewer marks in studies or exams.

We are all aware of how much skin
needs sunscreen, but do you know that
hair also needs sunscreen. According to
beauty experts, hair and scalp also need
protection from the sun.
17 BEAUTY LIES IN THE EYES
OF THE BEHOLDER!
Every one of us will have a different
opinion and an explanation for this. I
might agree with your version and, you
might not with mine. High time we stop
personifying beauty just with physicality!
19 Daily Beauty Products
Although there are many beauty
products available in the market, who
claim that they are the best for you, but
in such a situation, most of us get
confused about which products should
be part of your beauty routine. Which
foundation, blushes, lipstick and
compact are you going to use, for this it
is very important to know the
information related to it first.
20 Lips Say Beauty
Very few people will know that there
are no pores in the lips like the skin of
the rest of the body have. Therefore,
they require proper nutrition and
hydration. If you reduce it, it will call
many kinds of problems. Great credit
for the beauty of the face goes to the
beautiful lips. The pink lips of any
person add to its beauty.

ROHIT VERMA
EDITOR
As a student of the educational field, I observe
so many things during my study. There were
many ideas, thoughts, opinions and approaches
to lead the system or try to make it better and
fruitful for the students. I agree there are many
loopholes in the system administratively,
authoritatively, politically and individually as well.
Here I just want to share one tragedy which
happened in the last few days in my village. Here
was a student who was in 10th standard, a few
days before you all knew that the CBSE school’s
exam result displayed. after a few hours of result
publishing, he gets suicide. The reason for this
was the result only because he failed in 2
subjects and his neighbour friend passed (As per
the sources). He was just 15 years old and he
did it. He went to the respective place but he left
some questions for us, for me to think and see
what's happening around me. Now all the pupils
of my village are discussing what could be the
issue. Were there any parental pressure or social pressure, economical pressure or something else?
As much as I got to know about him, he was free till the day of the result. The last 5 days he spent
joyfully and happily he got a new cell phone; he booked a bike for himself & he went to the farm just
a day before the incident to do things. That day itself he was very free and normal as the old days.
He said to his parents ``go and have rest" they went to the bedroom and he locked himself in a
separate room and then he hanged himself. His parents were totally unaware of this even though
they didn't know about the result either. His mother was shocked when she saw him hanged.
we cannot imagine their situation at that time. I was in shock when I got this news from outsiders.
So, I'm confused to think that what happened to him, forced him to take this decision. It was and it
is, very strange for me to reflect on this situation. what value of the education he was understanding
what purpose he made about the academic qualifications? These questions for him are gone already
but still, I want to know because I don't know who will be the next. I also know this is a huge topic to
make a conclusion with this note but still, I'm trying to express my way of thinking & thoughts. this is
just for us the matter of result is so less in comparison to life. Life takes a lot of value rather than a
result. We all know this but how will children get this. they didn't get the meaning of life. I hope you
all agree with this to say living life is itself an art itself an education. The most important point is to
live a life other than the rest of the things.
One of the aims of education is to make life better and beautiful for self and for society.
I hope we can do one thing at-least to talk to our younger siblings and cousins to let them free from
the academic pressure.

Pride from top brand to clotting lines is Handmade Embroidery.
The fashion of hand embroidery is never outdated. The top designers of the country have played a special role in
maintaining it among the youth.
Well-known brands and clotting lines of the country and abroad are making
new experiments with hand-machine embroidery. The fine thread embroidery
includes designs like a noose, thorn petal, spider, tepchi, bakhia, zanjira,
bangla jali, siddor jali, bulbul etc. In every season, its demand remains not
only in the country but also abroad. There are samples of Kantha and
Sujani embroidery of Bihar, Ahir and Jat of Gujarat, Chamba
handkerchief in Himachal Pradesh, Phulkari and Bagh of Punjab,
Chikankari of UP, traditional Sojani of Jammu and Kashmir,
embroidered and embroidered hand embroidery that is in great
demand around the world.
It is also included in the gent's cupboard
Embroidered Ethnic wear is a special choice of people on every occasion.
Two-piece and three Peace suits and vest coats for wedding, Nehru
jackets also have the fine workmanship of colourful threads for the
youth. There is a lot of demand for patchwork and chikankari. The
most liked designer kurtas in the festival season are made by seeing
beautiful embroidery designs. Even threadwork designs can be
seen on shirt collars. Top designers prefer embroidery in shirts
to sherwani for men.
Women's favourite
The embroidery done on colourful clothes is very
pleasing to women. It also includes lehenga, kurta and
salwar and churidar. The embroidery done on the
clothes is done with one or two stitches. Generally,
beautiful pictures of nature are drawn in it.
Similarly, Sindhi embroidery is most common
on ladies’ suits. It can also be seen in lowbudget
suits. Zardozi is still the best choice for
embroidery for Royal families.
Embroidery trend in Western dress
Indian fashion designers do not want to let go of decorating jeans, shirts and jackets with colourful
threads. There is a special demand for jackets abroad with handwork costumes. Chikankari on
09 | www.theim.in
short kurta is well-liked in men's wear. Apart from this, the work of Zardozi, Katdana and pot is also in great demand. It is
always in demand in IndoWestern Dresses. The embroidery craze on asymmetrical wells remains in every season.
Topps also became the first preference
Tops adorned with mirror work can be made more attractive with colourful
embroidery. Wear a light-coloured top with dark bottoms such as jeans or leggings.
The short stitching of the embroidery also makes such tops beautiful. Embroidery
done on jeans is on-demand among college-going.
Embroidery also dominating in accessories
The clutch
Threadwork done on women's purses, clutches, ladies’ belts and
handbags is in fashion. Silk, brocade embroidered purses and clutch are
included in the young girls' favourite list. Apart
from
this, threadwork designs can also be seen on
Men's Purse and Pocket Square. The artwork
made on these bags makes them different
and stylish from other bags. The glasswork
done on it makes it special.
Earrings
It is very pleasing for women to experiment with different earring
with embroidery. Women's loves wearing it from office to party
wear too. You can choose it according to the
budget. If you are carrying it with
ethnic wear, then wear long hoops or
chandabali in the ears. Match the
pendant with it.
Footwear
The handiwork of Punjabi and Rajasthani shoes
is quite popular, but now embroidered
work on ethnic shoes as well as men's
shoes and women's heels.

F
ace masks are no longer a necessity, but in
2014, Chinese designer Billy Elish introduced
the latest fashion boutique at the Fashion
Week of China. His idea at the time was that people
could often find some glamorous alternative to avoid
pollution in most of the Chinese states. He also
appeared in his fashionable clothes worn at the
Grammy Awards ceremony that year.
Fashion in Asian countries such as China, Korea and
Japan included designer face masks as a shield to
deal with rising pollution. The rest of the world is
waking up to the fact that your mask does not have to
be boring or surgical if you aren’t a frontline
healthcare worker or afflicted by COVID.
Fashion has always had a way of taking our core
wardrobe essentials — outerwear, underwear, and
everything in between — and turning them into
statement pieces. Consider the trusty trench coat, for
example, which was created to shield soldiers from
the elements but, over time, turned into one of the
most distinctive utility apparel items a person could
own. And don't get us started on how the functional
bike short has morphed into a top streetwear trend
that will not go away. It's no surprise, then, that the
protective face coverings we've been advised to wear
outdoors to curb the spread of the coronavirus have
quickly been embraced and beautified by the fashion
world.
The blue and white surgical masks that are currently
the most visible personal protective equipment are
democratizing forces, rendering all wearers equal
under isolation, signifying our communal experience
and our collective fear. Even the
homemade masks that have begun
to proliferate, while somewhat
idiosyncratic, are united in their
craftiness.
When masks migrate into the
realm of fashion, however, they
become something else. As with all
accessories (as with shoes, bags
and scarves), they become symbols of not just health
or social concern, but of identity.
Indian fashion designers are creating masks that are
fashionable and allows the bride to express
themselves. Masks are the latest fashion trends for
women in India, and Indian fashion designers
understand how a bride needs something breathable
and functional apart from complementing the
wedding attire.
Brands are exploring every opportunity to mitigate
the economic pain of the lockdown. Fashion and
apparel are among the worst hit. Hence, we will see
innovation from them.
Globally, fashion brands such as Dior, Prada, Gucci
and Louis Vuitton recalibrated their manufacturing
units to make masks, protective gear and sanitisers.
Their masks initiative has moved
from public-spirited to a
fashion offering. Indian
designers and savvy artisans
are fast catching up.

Men's jacket became old
fashioned, now is the time
for the shacket
There are the latest styles of jackets in
the market which are called shackets.
Shacket means Shirt jacket. This jacket
looks like a shirt and fits on men of all ages.
Long-Sleeve Fleece Shacket
Going for a bit of a cool-guy
vibe? Try this over a
turtleneck, with a pair of
wide-leg, cropped trousers.
It's a vibe—and a good one.
either way. In this, tan and chocolate brown colour
is quite preferred. You can easily wear it from
office to casual look. Pairing it with a simple t-
shirt and skinny fitted jeans looks good.
Denim Style
In addition to denim
jeans, the jacket is
also very popular.
You can pair it
with a white tee
or polo shirt. The
double denim look
is also very much liked
among youngsters, so
you should wear denim jeans with a denim
Shacket. However, keep in mind that there is a
slight difference in the shades of both. If you are
wearing a light colour denim Shacket, then keep
the colour of jeans a bit dark. It looks very good.
Military Shacket
Military Shackets in khaki
and green colour are quite
popular. You can team it up
with Tailored Tack pants to
trousers. Apart from this t-
shirt, it also looks great on
the shirt. However, the
colours of military Shackets are different. If you are
wearing a green military-style Shacket then you
can wear it with navy or grey chinos.
Quilt made choice
Quilt shacket can be worn
easily in winter as well as
in mild cold. Wear it
over the collared shirt.
Buttons of this racket
can be kept open or
closed. It looks good

Hair Sunscreen
We are all aware of how much skin needs sunscreen, but do you know that hair also needs sunscreen. According to beauty
experts, hair and scalp also need protection from the sun. Hair can also get damaged by the rays of the sun and when we
do not pay much attention to hair care and spend most of our time outside, due to sun rays, hair becomes dry, lifeless, and
colourless. At the same time, they become weak and break and there is a problem of split hair.
So, there is a need to apply sunscreen to keep the hair safe. Hair sunscreen acts as a protective shield on your beautiful
hair. Use sunscreen shampoo for hair to protect the hair from the side effects of sun rays and to retain its moisture. Hair
sunscreen is a UV filtering hair product, the use of which will not spoil the natural colour of the hair. But if you do not want
to use the sunscreen shampoo found in the market, then you can keep your hair safe by using a few simple things.
Most hair sunscreens are made with UV filters. They protect hair from the sun. Hair sunscreen is available in the market or
online. They will protect
your hair from
getting spoiled
and lifeless. By applying it
continuously, the pollution
will not have
any bad effect
on your hair.
You can also
apply natural sunscreen to
your hair if you want. For
example, hot oil treatment in
hair is also effective. Mix a
few drops of
sesame oil in
coconut oil, almond oil. This
prevents hair from getting
spoiled by the
sun. Also, apply
Aloe Vera gel to
the hair and
wash it after 15
minutes. They
act as a natural
sunscreen for
the hair. Regardless of
the weather, always remember to cover the hair with a scarf or any cloth whenever you go out of the house. Even after
applying sunscreen, if you take care of small things, then your hair will always look beautiful and healthy.
The natural pigment that gives colour to hair is called melanin. It also protects hair from free radicals and protects them
from UV rays. But due to excessive UVA, melanin starts to damage and the hair colour gets blotted out. This happens in all
types of hair, but light coloured hair causes more damage because they have less melanin. After this, the hair starts to dry.
Even if you use an artificial hair dye, the natural colour of the hair loses.
If there is more hair contact in UVB radiation, free radicals start attacking the hair proteins especially keratin. It is the major
component of hair. It is also more harmful than UVA radiation.
Natural Hair Sunscreen
Massage the hair with a natural oil such as tea tree oil. It provides moisture to the hair and ends dryness. Hot oil treatment
is also effective before going out of the house. Mix a few drops of coconut oil and almond oil in 6 drops of sesame oil.
Massage the head with this and comb it. Apart from protecting the hair from the sun, it also makes them soft.
Aloe vera and honey
Aloe Vera is an influential sun blocker. It contains UV blocking compounds. Aloe vera deeply conditioning hair and speeds
up their growth. Honey keeps hair hydrated and moisturized.
15 | www.theim.in
Method - Mix 1 tablespoon aloe vera gels and 1 tablespoon honey in one bowl. Apply it well on the roots and hair. Leave it
for a while and then shampoo.
Aloe vera acts as a natural sunscreen and also
moisturizes the hair.
Tea water
Tea water also acts as a natural sunscreen. It
protects the hair from sunlight and does not allow
dryness.
Method - In a bowl, boil little tea leaves and let it
cool. Then filter it on the hair and wear a shower
cap. After applying it on the hair for 15 to 20, wash
the hair. By doing this, there will be no harm to
hair.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E acts as an effective natural hair
sunscreen. Add capsules of vitamin E in a spray
bottle and stir well. Spray on hair after bathing.
This prevents hair from getting dry and helps
improve the texture. Apart from this, you should
also keep some things in mind for your hair care.
For example, hair can also be protected with
scarves, umbrella and hats. Use scarves to avoid
hot winds.

BEAUTY LIES
IN THE EYES OF THE
BEHOLDER!
What does beauty mean to you?
Every one of us will have a different opinion and an
explanation for this. I might agree with your version
and, you might not with mine. High time we stop
personifying beauty just with physicality!
High time that we accept beauty in all shapes, sizes,
colours, and gender. High time we stop pretending
to be what we aren’t!
It has been three years since I’ve been into modelling
and acting. The journey hasn’t been full of roses.
Everything takes shape with time. Beauty for me is to
be confident and of course, I always like to be in the
limelight and look my best (who doesn’t). I never
deny that I want to showcase the best of myself.
A lot of times I’ve been asked
‘Why makeup?
Aren’t you happy with your skin?
Are you ashamed of showcasing how you are?
So, the only answer I have here is Makeup adds up to
your beauty and doesn’t become your beauty!
I love to do makeup and I’m not reluctant to show my
real skin and flaws. Good things come to those who
wait and care. I’ve always believed that you should let
ease and comfort ooze out of every pore of your
being, and another important point not to be
forgotten is your preferences. Always be yourself, be
sanguine, and never settle for less.
tremendously observe that I learn something every
day, whether that’s about myself or the world.
Being an artist, an influencer people look up to you
for
what do you do?
What you wear?
Your everyday regime?
And the list never ends...
We try to bring out the best of ourselves and never
disappoint the people who follow us. I have always
believed to do what excites you and pumps you up.
Investing in your skin, hair, personal health is again
something I’ve been asked about a lot, and I always
come up with telling people, it’s all upon you. If caring
for your skin gives you peace, which is a necessity
too, then why not.
Amidst the current scenario that has flipped our lives
to another level, there’s much of a dark cloud at
times that shadows us. But always try to look out for
the silver lining. and honestly, I try to make the best
of the scenario by investing all the time in myself and
spending most of it with my family.
Just do what you love and love what you do.
Be Beautiful and keep shining…
Beauty is a feeling,
Beauty is an emotion.
Beauty is a vibe,
Beauty is devotion.
If you feel beautiful, you look beautiful.
I devote a decent amount of time on myself,
whether that’s exercise, meditation, self-grooming,
or self-love. Always try to keep positive, be
expressive, and calm even in the most horrendous
situations as it all starts with self-love and
appreciation.
Every day, we get started with a new task, a new
concept, and of course, new expectations. Always
keen to work hard and give in the best possible, I

Although there are many beauty
products available in the market,
who claim that they are the best for
you, but in such a situation, most of
us get confused about which
products should be part of your
beauty routine. Which foundation,

important to know the information

types of beauty products available in

from expensive to cheap prices. But
the damage done by makeup
products can cost a lot and hence it
is very important to choose the right

Ponds White Beauty BB
Cream
College and office going girls may
occasionally apply a foundation to
enhance their
face even
when they get
out of the
house, but it is
not right to do
it every day. In
such a
situation,
Pond's White

Fairness SPF 30
PA ++ Cream is
very effective.
You can use it
daily. They are
best for hiding
facial spots and
improving EVEN
TONE. These BB
creams live up to their claims. Along
with whitening the skin, it also
removes all its imperfections. Also
protects the sensitive skin from sun
rays.
Daily Beauty product’s
Nivea Care and Rose Colour
Lip Balm
Lips are a very delicate part of our
face, so they require special care.
Even the lips like the face and hair
need special care daily. If you are in
such a situation, that you can't try
home remedies on your lips daily,
that's why you can use Nivea Care
and Colour Lip Balm in your beauty
kit. Apart from moisturizing your
lips, it will also keep them hydrated
throughout the day. Not only this,
after applying this lip balm,
but you do not have to apply
lips tick. Your lips

Lips say beauty
V
ery few people will know that there are no pores in the lips like the skin of the rest of the body have. Therefore,
they require proper nutrition and hydration. If you reduce it, it will call many kinds of problems. Great credit for
the beauty of the face goes to the
beautiful lips. The pink lips of any person add to
its beauty. This is why everyone wants
her lips to look beautiful. However, you
take full care of your face and hair,
but often forget about your lips in
the meantime when they need
special care. If you do not take
care of them, then they start
bursting black. Just as the body
needs healthy eating and proper
care for energy and young look,
similarly the lips also need adequate
care, if done with the right things,
then our lips are also beautiful,
healthy and stay pink.
The tone of the skin of our lips is also
different like the skin tone of our face. But
most people want their lips to be pink and soft
like rose petals. Such lips don't need to be found
naturally by all. But it is also not that those whose lips are not naturally pink and soft cannot make their lips like this.
Rosewater
Exfoliate your lips with rose water every
day. This will remove the crust of your
lips, dead cells and new fresh cells will
come out, which will make your lips look
moister and softer. For this, apply rose
water on cotton before sleeping at night
with light hands on your lips and when
the skin becomes soft, then lightly rub
it. This will remove dead cells. After this,
apply lip balm and sleep.
Beetroot juice
Beetroot not only works to increase
blood in the body but also works to give
pink colour to the skin. If you also want
to make your lips pink, then in the
morning mix 2 to 3 drops of coconut oil
in one teaspoon of beet juice. Apply the
prepared mixture on the lips with the
help of cotton and massage it lightly for
3 to 5 minutes.
Coconut oil
Coconut oil can also make lips pink and soft. Because it naturally maintains moisture in the skin. It works to lighten the
skin tone by removing the darkness of our skin. After cleansing the dead skin with rose water, you can massage the lips
with coconut oil instead of lip balm. Many women do not do lipstick removal after makeup removal while sleeping at
night. This causes great damage to the lips. Sleep after applying lip balm every night after removing lipstick.

to achieve that. He went through multiple auditions
and trials. He got the opportunity to work in wellknown
serial Savdhaan India the role he was
expecting got changed in the last minutes. He got the

things from his life. Nikhil got the most valuable thing
for his life span and that's none other than Shanice
Shrestha. They both met on 13th April 2015 at the set

story of a former Indian cricketer Rohit Sharma and
Ritika Sachdev. Here they both begin the new episode
of friendship. Both of them build a relationship that is
unbreakable friendship is not just with Shanice
Shrestha with his close friends Ashish, Zeshan &

efforts in his difficult times. At the time when he got
the rejection from the serial at the last moment, he
was badly broken than He had a break for travelling
to Jaipur. The Jaipur trip opened the door for him to
be a Mumbiker.
In his words, his destiny was different from others. It
might be like the universe has decided something
different and has a unique role for him. Shanice
helped him to figure out the vlogging through
travelling. Her advice to be a social media influencer
worked and he reached millions of people. Nikhil
influenced many youngsters about travelling and
fitness.

After some successful trips and rides, he
approached the travelling bike companies to
associate with him. Here Nikhil got many challenges
as well but Nikhil is a warrior. He fought with them
and he deceived them. He got his first Triumph Tiger
for his longest riding track. Nikhil decides to ride
Kanyakumari to Kerala with this bike.
Currently, Nikhil announced about his personal life
where he shared about the relationship status with
Shanice. Nikhil is very serious about his relationship
and he always considers her opinions and
suggestions. You might be surprised Nikhil always
asks for his Instagram feeds. In other words,
Shanice always takes care of his personal &
professional things. Nikhil faced many times this
question to not reveal the truth about the
relationship. Nikhil gently answered he doesn't look
things through filters. Both of them are very
disciplined and aware of their zones. They always try
to keep their relationship aside from the
unnecessary controversies. They don't want to
entertain anyone with their relationship. Their
relationship really matters for both of them. The
reason behind hiding their relationship status was
not the assurance but they were willing to come in
a strong and settled position to accept the
responsibility of his and her followers before the
announcement.
Nikhil’s philosophy says the thing which you want in
your life desperately will come true but you should
have to look around yourself also. It is 1000% sure
nature has many surprising gifts for you. Whether
you like that or not it all depends on you but
sometimes you need that break to boost yourself.
The only mantra Nikhil and his team says is do
whatever you want to don’t restrict yourself from
anything. This life is amazing. We all must have to
live our each and every moment joyfully. Your good
time may take a little longer route but you have to
be calm and focused.
“You were such good friends and now you are in
a relationship, I know that you will still be
together in the future and that you will form a
beautiful family. All the best for the happy
couple”

Mantra Meditation A mantra is a syllable, word or phrase that is
repeated during meditation. Mantras can be spoken, chanted,
whispered or repeated in the mind. Most mantra meditation
techniques have two essential components: mindfulness meditation
and chanting of mantras.
Our brain processes millions of
thoughts throughout the day.
However, some subjects enter our
mind and continue to haunt
us. It can make you mentally
tired. For this reason, neither
you can focus on any work
nor find any solution for it.
Meditation is one of the
effective ways to relax the
mind.
Practicing meditation every
day is essential to keep the
mind calm and relaxed. This
not only helps in reducing
mental fatigue but also
prevents the mind from
wandering around.
Meditation gives you a
chance to self-analyse and helps to find
out what is going on in your mind that is
bothering and stressing you.
The mantra is most commonly used for
meditation. And it is also the most
powerful. This is the reason why the
practice of mantra meditation is found
in many traditions of the world and
from the perspective of secularism,
mantra meditation is also very
important. The Mantra Meditation is so
powerful that the person doing it gets
spiritual benefits along with spiritual
benefits. The Mantra Meditation is a
vast and complex study for Hindu and
Buddhism. The way to do this is not very
different but it is definitely that there
are many benefits of doing Mantra
Meditation with full attention.
What is mantra meditation?
Mantra meditation is the process of
calming your mind and focusing using a
piece of sound, word or sentence. The
mantra meditation is aimed at religious
and spiritual relaxation. Mantra
Meditation, one of the many forms of
yoga, is an essential practice, which
helps to deepen inner awareness. It is a
ritual used in many eastern religions
including Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh and
Jainism.
We sometimes recite mantras and
sometimes listen to them. Sometimes
they are repeated fast and sometimes
at a slow pace. However, when it
comes to meditation, mantras are
aimed not just at chanting but by paying
attention to your breath and increasing
concentration. Mantras act like a tool
to change consciousness. They have a
quality in each sound, each vibration
and they help you maintain your focus
in different states of mind. So, when
they are repeated with meditation, they
calm the mind.
Rules of meditation
Mainly the time of sun rise in the
morning is considered to be the most
appropriate for mediation, but you
don't need to choose the time of
morning. You can do meditation in the
evening or at any time of the day.
Practice in a quiet place where there is
no one to distract you carefully. Sit in a
comfortable position. Your seating
position also makes a difference. Feel
yourself calm, relaxed and stable.
Meditation means meditation.
Therefore, if you lose your focus while
practicing it, it will not be successful.
You mustn't have anything that
distracts you during meditation such as
phones, children, pets, TV etc. Keep
your spine straight and sit upright. Do
not over-stretch your shoulders and
neck or keep it loose. Keep it in the
normal state. Try to have an empty
stomach during exercise. Now close
your eyes and focus your attention on
anything. It can be any object, the face
of God or any other thing. Wear loose
and comfortable clothes. Now chant
any mantra you like, or the mantra you
remember or in which you believe. Take
deep breaths along with chanting the
mantra and keep going. During this, pay
attention to your breath and do not let
the focus go away.
Posture science
There is a very deep connection in
mantra and science. In which posture
you are sitting with the chanting of
mantras, it also matters a lot. Just as
mantras have a scientific basis, in the
same way posture also has a scientific
basis.
If you understand the posture simply,
then it is the yoga of the hands. By
balancing the energy that is in our
hands and fingers, we can
stay healthy.
Yoga Posture is based on the
basic principle of Ayurveda.
According to Ayurveda,
Vata, Pitta and Kapha - the
body remains healthy only by
the balance of these three
elements. Imbalance in
them means disease or
malaise in the body. Just as
yoga balances the three
elements by generating
energy in our body, in the
same way yoga postures
also work. We can balance
Vata, Pitta and Kapha by using the
magnetic waves in our hands.
We all know that our body is made up
of 5 elements - fire, air, water, earth and
ether. The fingers of our hands
symbolize these elements. Due to
imbalance in these elements, vata, pitta
and phlegm also become imbalanced
and they become the reason for our
illness and unhealthy, because due to
imbalance in them, our immunity
decreases. The most effective way to
balance these elements is Yoga
Posture!
When the finger, which represents the
element, is brought into contact with
the thumb, then that element comes
into balance. The posture creates
electromagnetic waves in the body,
thereby balancing the related element
in the body.
Om Mantra
Om is the most powerful and important
mantra among all, which you can chant.
This universal mantra generates
powerful and positive vibrations in your
lower abdomen. It is often associated
with the Shanti Mantra, which in
Sanskrit means peace.

of livelihood is tourism. Many countries have made visas free for tourists from India. These countries also
include the South American country of Ecuador.
Ecuador is famous for lush green forests and the Galápagos
Islands on the west coast of South America. It would be a
wonderful experience to see wildlife on these islands. Apart from
the hills and the sea, the waterfalls tell a different story of the
natural beauty of this country. A diverse and beautiful landscape
is the Andean highlands, magnificent forests and the Galápagos
Islands which are famous for their Prosperous wildlife.

Future
of
electric
car in
India
For the last several decades, the
number of vehicles in the major metros
of the country has been increasing
continuously. As a result, people of
these cities are vulnerable to pollution
and are in the grip of many frightening
diseases. Simultaneously, rising prices
of diesel and petrol are troubling the
common man and excessive amount of
foreign exchange is eroding.
The concern of scientists is always
increasing to deal with these problems.
To prevent this, we are imagining a car
that does not have a silencer, runs on
electricity, becomes a battery charging
station instead of a petrol pump, the
way we charge our mobile. How much
joy will be there when these vehicles
start galloping on the streets, smoke
will not rise and there will be no
discussion of pollution. Many car
companies are trying to realize this
dream. If we start driving half of the
vehicles on the roads with electricity,
then there will be neither noise
pollution nor air pollution on the roads.
Due to this effort, the metros will be
transformed.
The WHO reported that 14 out of the
world’s most polluted,15 cities are from
India. The city-specific action plans will
be developed for all 102 reported cities
that exceed national air quality
safeguards. Moreover, this bad air
quality has been observed and intake
39 | www.theim.in
by not only metro cities of India but it
involves some Himalayan states too.
So, the WHO makes India think about air
pollution very sternly.
Price is a big factor
Over 55 per cent of petrol-diesel cars
sold in India cost an average of Rs 5.6
lakh, while the price of electric cars
that can travel long distances on the
highway is many times higher than the
average price of these petrol-diesel
cars, so near It is very difficult to say
that in future people will choose
electric cars in large numbers. To make
these cars accessible to the general
public, the government will have to put
a lot of emphasis on reducing their
prices.
Some benefits in terms of security
Many efforts have been made to reduce
the weight of the electric vehicle to
increase its capacity. Despite these
efforts, an electric vehicle is heavier
than its equivalent petrol-powered
vehicle due to the higher density and
weight of the electric batteries, and
therefore has less interior space and
stops more distance when braking.
However, in a collision, people in heavy
vehicles are hurt less than those in
light vehicles, so the extra weight
certainly brings some benefit from the
safety point of view.
There are also many challenges in
adopting electric vehicle in India in
future. It is very difficult to adopt things
except for our old things. It takes some
time at the beginning of any work or to
fully accept something. The way people
now rely solely on petrol dieselpowered
vehicles. In the coming
decade, likewise, we will start relying
on electric vehicles. The main objective
of expanding electric vehicles in India
is that in future people do not have to
face the health problem caused by
pollution and also save their money.
Over the past few years, trends suggest
an increased interest among the
general public for electric cars
compared to electric two-wheelers
and petrol/diesel cars, as seen in
Google Trends, which is expected to
gain a bit of popularity ahead. Engaged
in India, so that this step of bringing the
EVS taken by the Government to India
can be completed. Another major
challenge to prevent the adoption of
EVs on a large scale today is that this
range is quite limited, disrupting use
cases for electric vehicles. Adjusts for
more cost-effective batteries that
provide a better range. Once the
performance reality is set, electric
vehicles will not back down.
Lithium
ion battery
Lithium-ion batteries
used in electric cars
remain the obstacle in the
development of these
cars in India. The metals
used in the manufacture
of lithium-ion batteries
will have to be imported
on a large scale to India.
The metals used in the
manufacture of these
batteries, such as lithium,
cobalt, manganese and
nickel, are stored in many
different countries.
Bolivia and Chile account
for 60 per cent of the
world's reserves, while 60
per cent of the cobalt
reserves are in the Congo.
All of these metals do
some important work in
lithium-ion batteries,
such as lithium charging
the battery, while cobalt
protects the battery from
overheating. Lithium-ion
battery prices are heavily
affected due to the low
availability of these
minerals.

COLOUR
OF
PEACE
Colours, they are everywhere, on the
walls, in a painting, in your hands and
almost every place else. Life without
colours is like a plate without food,
nothing but tasteless.
Stress can sneak up on you. It doesn’t
take much to leave us feeling anxious
and stressed—it could be as simple
as feeling busy at work, or just feeling
like you don’t have enough time in the
day to get everything done. The good
news is that you can help to keep your
stress levels low simply by using the
right paint colours in your home.
Colours have the capacity of pacifying
our mind and stimulating our energy.
Our mood, health, happiness is all
affected by the colours of our house.
Colours can have emotional,
intellectual, materialistic, intuitive
and many other types of influence on
humans
You don’t have to worry about trends
to have a beautiful home. Colour
trends will come and go. The people
who live in a home make it beautiful
by choosing colours that reflect their
preferences and personalities. The
trick is to blend the colours you like
into a pleasing combination. Choosing
colour combinations is one of the
most intimidating steps for
beginners. Colour has the power to
change the shape and size of
furnishings, as well as the shape and
size of the room itself. Selecting
colours is not difficult if you equip
yourself with some basic information
about colour and its effects.
41 | www.theim.in
Feel fresh with white
White walls in the living room certainly
don’t mean keeping things devoid of
colour and personality. Quite the
opposite! By choosing, then sticking to,
a striking colour palette, white walls
provide an excellent backdrop to
showcase and highlight your style.
White walls in the living room certainly

White is an often-overlooked colour for
walls. Maybe it’s because many of us,
having grown up with white walls in our
childhood homes, see white walls as a
poor excuse for the absence of colour
options.
The red colour makes you feel
energetic
Red is the colour of passion and a very
energizing shade. It is considered to be
exciting or even an aggressive colour
and can evoke strong emotions. The
effect that the colour red has on us is
physical; it stimulates us and even
raises the pulse rate, giving the
impression that time is passing much
faster than it is. It’s alive and friendly,
but can also sometimes be perceived as
aggressive and demanding. Red is the
colour of passion and a very energizing
shade. It is considered to be exciting or
even an aggressive colour and can
evoke strong emotions. It is best used
in entertainment areas such as the
living room, family room, and dining
room. Because it is such a bold colour,
use it with caution. It can easily become
overwhelming.
42 | www.theim.in
Live in peace with green
Green brings a soothing element to any space. For
example, a lime green living room is a case as such.
By using a range of tones in the living room, it
prevents clashes and brings harmony between the
shades. Placing artwork on a picture ledge means
the display can easily change without having to rehang
anything. Trust the green living room ideas and
design for something unique and different as home
decor
Green is such a versatile colour for home decor. It’s
no longer limited to those avocado coloured
bathroom suites because now we have gorgeous
greens from muted sage tones to rich jewel tones of
jade and teal. Tones of green can switch any space
from relaxing to elegant, to the fun. A dynamic and
refreshing colour, green comes in many different
shades, from the formal and cool sage to bright and
cheerful emerald or deep and relaxing teal. And
green goes well with everything – whites, creams,
and greys, all the staple living room colours.
Blue define your intellect
Blue is the colour of the mind or the intellect, and
research suggests that it is the world’s favourite
colour. Unlike red, it affects us mentally rather than
physically and is essentially a soothing colour that
will help us to think more clearly and aid
concentration. If you prefer to have blue throughout
your home, there’s a fair chance that you view your
house as an oasis of calm and tranquillity in an
otherwise hectic and demanding world. It may also
mean that you’re a bit of an introvert and prefer to
stop indoors with your cool and calming shade
adorning the walls, relaxing you and protecting you
from the world outside.

The
colour of meditative
It’s doesn’t matter how big, small or corner Puja room. Indian apartments are
mostly crunched for space. But if you ‘re among the lucky ones to be blessed with
a separate space for meditation at home. Puja room or prayer room is and must
be one of the most auspicious and sacred rooms of your home. Pooja rooms are
a very sacred and crucial part for some house. It is a necessary part of the house
for some.
As a sun colour, yellow propagates happiness, optimism and self-definition. For
centuries now, yellow has been considered a sacred colour and it also has
spiritual significance, making ideal to set the meditative tone in the pooja room.
Vaastu shastra recommends that a pooja room face the north-east direction to
harness the maximum energy of the sun. Yellow pooja room paint colours
facilitate this process.
Interior
designing after corona pandemic
Life has come to a halt in
lockdown due to the worldwide
corona epidemic. However, it is
important in terms of health and
life safety. People's houses have
turned into offices. While working
from home, many people have
created a virtual office-like
environment in one part of the
house. Previously, where only
information technology, i.e. IT
sector, had the facility to do work
from people, now the marketing
sector has also been limited in it.
Under the restrictions of not being
able to get out, people imprisoned
in their small flats or small houses
understand a lot of things. At the
same time, architects’ experts
around the world are looking at it
from another perspective.
According to him, after the end of
the corona epidemic, there will be
a lot of changes at home and
office.
Now home is more preferred
than apartment
A large number of people live in
tall buildings. But it is not good for
health and cleanliness. Elevators,
lift buttons, and neighbours living
nearby can infect each other. At
the same time, if the flat does not
have a balcony then it becomes
more difficult. In such a situation,
in the future people will like to live
in a small house instead of a flat,
where there are a courtyard and
terrace. The main purpose of the
house will be safe. Urbanization
will reduce and people will return
to smaller villages and towns.
Bunker construction will increase,
in which people will also get
training to stay safe in the event of
a disaster. There will be buildings
that will have stronghold-like
security.
The underground floor will
increase
Underground floors will increase
in homes and buildings. It will be
used to store water and food. The
houses will be designed in such a
way that they can withstand
natural disasters and man-made
disasters. Till now, the trend of
making open plane space,
entrance, living room, dining
space and kitchen together was
going on, but now this trend will
end. The entrance and living area
of the house will be different in the
new trend. People will keep
shoes, clothes and their
belongings in the entrance.
This may be hard to imagine but
your home can be very if not
totally, self-sufficient. Food,
water, and shelter are all we
need. And with a beautiful and
healthy home on top of the
necessities, staying at home
becomes easier. Whether in
raised beds in the yard or hanging
from the wall or in planters,
gardens are sure to become more
popular. While this may not be
widespread in the future of interior
design, but if you have the means
and desire, add a bunker and you
will kick up your self-sufficiency to
a whole new level.
The importance of interior design
and mental and physical health
will become more prevalent than
ever. Designers will need to
consider how we can assist in
mental health through interior
environments, using lighting,
materials, sound and acoustics.
In homes, spaces will become
more flexible. “We will have to
consider what elements of design
we can use to protect the public’s
health, including materials,
distancing, physical separation or
proximity, and interaction with
objects.
46 | www.theim.in
Major changes will be seen in the office
Changes will also be seen in the design of
the office. As such most of the office doors
will be open or there will be increased use
of doors with inappropriate open
technology. It may be that the sound
technology is used instead of the button in
the lift. The office space can be divider with
no open floor. Withdrawal and sanitization
will be more focused. The size of the living
room may increase so that chairs can be
placed a short distance away. Even in the
working space, the distance between
people can be kept more than before.
Experts believe that new technologies can
be developed for video conferencing,
meeting online, etc.
If trends continue, the next architectural
revolution in office design may see the
mass removal of employees from their
traditional workplace, whether through
automation or, as discussed here, remote
working. This transition from collective to
remote working, and the architectural
considerations it will mean for living and
office spaces, old and new, was evident
long before the current coronavirus
pandemic cast it into the public
consciousness. That said, this global
forced experiment in working-from-home
may ironically be a catalyst for a healthier
future relationship between us and our
workplace.
Restaurant
The forecast suggests that we will see
more open kitchens after the pandemic, as
they promote "transparency". Surfaces
built or clad in anti-microbial materials will
also "be a given".
While many might think the second
forecast of contactless dining is "a given",
in reality, it is more nuanced, argues the
report, as nearly half of survey
respondents voted that it is "a fad".
Instead of contactless, Roar uses the term
"contact-light", which would see physical
menus and cash payments become rare "if
not extinct", alongside communal
condiments like salt and pepper.
Restrooms are where the most change will
be seen. Referred to as "a vital
battleground in the war against infection",
the report imagines that most bathroom
doors will be removed except private
cubicles, and those that remain will be
open and closed by foot or via wireless
sensors.
