Today, I feel proud to be a part of this country India. A mission that was made, the Chandrayaan-2 will land on the moon and will go to the South Pole side also. No country has ever gone to the South Pole side. This mission of the ISRO is nearing its most awaited landing. Everyone is excited for this landing. It’s a very big proud moment for the country.

I will tell you a bit in detail about this mission.

Chandrayaan-2 is an Indian lunar mission that will boldly go where no country has ever gone before- The Moon’s South Polar Region. Through this effort, the aim is to improve our understanding of the Moon- discoveries that will benefit India and humanity as a whole. These insights Nd experiences aim at a paradigm shift in how lunar expeditions are approached for years to come- propelling further voyages into the farthest frontier.

When the Chandrayaan-2 took off for the moon, there were expectations of the ISRO who had worked day and night to make this mission successful, the people of India, the government, etc as whether this mission will be successful or not.

Now today in the night the rocket will land on the Moon starting 11:30pm onwards.

The Moon is the closest cosmic body at which space discovery can be attempted and documented. Chandrayaan-2 attempts to foster a new age of discovery, increase our understanding of space, stimulate the advancement of technology, promote global alliance, and inspire a future generation of explorers and scientists. The Moon provides the best linkage to Earth’s early history. It offers an undisturbed historical record of the inner Solar system environment. Chandrayaan-2 will attempt to soft land the lander- Vikram and river- Progyan in high plaza in between two craters , Manzinus C and Simpelius N, at a latitude of about 70degree South.

I am proud of my country India and the ISRO Space Mission the Chandrayaan-2. It will be a historical landing and a proud moment for the country to witness the successful land of Chandrayaan-2 on the surface of the Moon.

Sometimes changes in your life are for your betterment. To make yourself positive, happy and motivated you should make some changes in your lifestyle.

Plan your day beforehand so that you know what work you have to do the next day.

Work timely. Set time periods for every work that you do. Working in a timebound manner can help you in time management. You will never feel lazy in doing any work. Time management is very important.

Take time from your day to sit and relax. To take care of your body. Give time to self care also. Sit in your favourite spot to relax.

Listen to motivational talks like tedx talks or speeches of famous personalities or read any motivation or biographical books in your free time. Any motivational speech or story can be of great help.

Try to do meditation or yoga the first thing in the morning after a glass of water. It will be beneficial for your body and mind.

Do not use electronic gadgets like mobiles, laptops or tabs an hour before going to bed. Bed is the place where you go to sleep. Nothing should distract you from sleeping. A good night sleep is very important for a fresh and healthy start of the next day.

Plan your days, weeks, and months as they will help you as what work you have coming up next.

Make your bed when you wake up in the morning and clean your room at least once or twice a week. Cleanliness is necessary to feel positive and happy.

These things should be kept in mind to feel happy, positive and motivated.

Today while reading the Vogue fashion magazine I came to read the editors letter. It was a very beautiful and amazingly written. I will share with you some lines from the letter.

We have come a long way. From growing up in a world where every imperfection was glossed over to now living in an age where our fralities are celebrated, and lines and scars welcome, is refreshing. It’s hard to say when our relationship with beauty changed, but until now we’ve spent much time and currency hiding any sign of the advancing years.

What do you see in the mirror when you wake up every morning? The face that looks back at you, sans makeup, I think, is the most honest form of you.

My takeaway from this month’s issue is that, things, and people, do get better with time.

It’s a motivating and inspiring letter.

People have fitness goals for weight loss. Whether be it girls or boys, women or men. Everyone it trying to loose those extra kilos of weight to look more beautiful and handsome.

Losing weight goes into waste during festival time. People are not able to resist sweets and oily food, junk food and if they try to stay away then guests don’t let it happen. Every now and then guests keep coming and we are forced to eat at least something. Seeing all these festival eateries nobody is able to resist it. I am also not able to control my weight during festival time. I gained two kilos of weight.

The only solution which I think is to exercise everyday so that whatever you have eaten keeps getting digested. I am also sticking to this mantra during festival season.

This Spring season witnesses the Rakhi festival. This year it is on the 15th of August i.e Independence Day. Whether it be any festival the festive wear comes at the top of the list for any person mostly girls. Girls, women decide months before their outfit, their jewellery, footwear. This year different new designs of suits and sarees are trending online as well as offline.

Spring is know for flowers, leaves. Floral patter is in trend this spring season. Henna mehendi is also popular. From a week before henna mehendi starts.

Traditional wear for this Rakhi. Go check out.

Today,

Just a few minutes before a tragedy happened in our house. Our dearest pet Parrot died. My grandfather, after coming from the temple gives him Prasad and today when he went to give him the Prasad, he discovered that he was died.

He was lying on one side of the nest. When I got to know I was in shock. I was unable to believe it. A few months back his nest had fallen due to the monkeys mischief, so his one leg got amputed. He had grown old but still he was very active.

Every evening he would demand for snacks to eat when we would sit to eat. Everybody loved him.

Pets whether be a dog, cat, cow, parrot or any other pet become like our family member and we develop a bond with them, which leaves us heartfelt, sad, crying when our beloved pets die. Pets automatically make us feel to love them. Pets are a mans best friend. We can talk to them, share our happiness and sorrows with them.

In loving memory of my dearest pet Parrot Pattu.

Lots of love, may your soul rest in peace. RIP Pattu.

Celebration, this word sounds very interesting. We simple need a good reason to celebrate. If we have that reason then it’s like the icing on the cake. Today I will talk about birthday party celebration.

Every month of the year there are many people who celebrate their birthday’s. Children and teenagers are the ones most excited for their birthday. Birthday are celebrated among family and friends. Gifts are given to the birthday boy or girl, the cake is cut and snacks are served. Games are played. Return gifts are also given to the guests as a thankyou token of love.

People say that one more year is added to their life and that they have grown big, but it is not like that. One year is taken from your life, your life just got shorter. Don’t know what the truth is. Many sayings are prevalent in the world of which many are true and many are fake. Just a few day before there was a celebration at my house also. It was not a grand one but a get together of friends. It was my brothers birthday celebration. He had been planning for it since a month early. He was very eager for his birthday to come. Many preparations were done. I decorated the room. Mom prepared the dinner and the snacks, the cake was brought.

My brothers friends were invited. We had a great time talking to each other eating snacks, dinner together, playing games. It was my last celebration as next year I will go to college. Theses small celebrations, get together R.D. give us reason to celebrate also a it gives us memories to cherish for lifetime. Birthdays are a good reason to celebrate as they are surely going to come every year. Especially children and teens get excited about it. Many preparations are done for birthday celebrations.

So, we can celebrate any time we want just having a good reason is important for celebrations to begin.

Today, while going through the newspaper I read one of the news that CCD owner VG Siddhartha went missing on Monday. It was shocking to read this. A successful person like him goes missing was hard to digest.

He went missing while on his route to the coastal Mangaluru city in Karnataka, leaving behind a letter. The letter showed that he was under ‘tremendous pressure’ from lenders. Search operation is on under the bridge across the swollen Nethravathi river where 60-year old Siddhartha was last seen.

CCD chain owner Siddhartha is the son-in-law of former Karnataka chief minister and BJP leader SM Krishna was last seen near the bridge in the Kotepur area in Dakshina Kannada district on Monday night. Locals have also started searching for him.

While doing exercise when I switched on the TV the first thing came up was that after 30hours of search operation involving multiple agencies his body was found and he is dead. The body was found floating near Hoige Bazar at around6:30am. The body was shifted to Wenlock hospital where a post-mortem will be conducted. Siddhartha’s body will be taken to Chikkmagaluru after post-mortem where his last rites will be performed. It was very heartening to see his body. I was very sad. It got me into thinking that if he is under debt from lenders then maybe now that he is dead the CCD shops will be closed. It is possible in the near future, or maybe it is a murder. Somebody is behind the murder. Further investigation will probe the reason behind his death and the letter left behind by him. It is a very sad moment for CCD coffee lovers.

Our Skin is very sensitive. If we do not take care of our skin, it can lead to acne, fine lines, wrinkles, pimples, rashes and redness. Here are some tips for a clear and glowing skin.

1- Love, Accept and Honour- We should love our skin and honour it by accepting it the way it is. Learn to love your skin. Whatever complexion your skin is whether light, dark or you have freckles, discolouration or any other problem it does not matter. You should love your skin because it’s your skin and it will look beautiful. Focus on the things that you can change and honour the things that are meant to be.

2- Nutrition is the Key- A healthy and glowing skin comes from the inside and not from the outside. Whatever food you eat, whatever nutrients are going into your body shows on your skin. People take vitamin and mineral supplements for their skin but it is not at all benefitting you. It is only destroying your skin. Everything depends on the food you are eating. The diet that you are taking as a whole determines the Heath and vitality of your skin. The more plant-based foods like vegetables and fruits that you eat the more clearer your skin will look. Foods that you enjoy eating. When your skin is healthy from the inside it will show outside also.

3- Stay Hydrated- Just like your diet is most important similarly keeping for skin hydrated is also important. People prefer detox drinks or vitamin drinks for a clear and glowing skin which is not going to help you. Focus more on hydrating yourself with water, juices, soups, smoothies and tea. Indulge in more fluids to keep your skin hydrated. You can carry a water bottle with you wherever you go as it will remind you of drinking the water.

4- Maintaining Gut Health- Many skin experts and beauticians try to convince us that our skin issues are as a result of a isolated external problem and it can be easily remedied by a simple lotion or moisturiser that they sell. As I said before a healthy and glowing skin comes from within. An integral part of our skin health is our gut health. Our intestine should also be taken care of. A healthy and happy intestine is also beneficial. Eat fruits that are high in fibres like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lentils, nuts and seeds, etc. ensuring that we get a healthy dose of probiotics like plant based foods, yogurt, fermented foods. It is not only healthy for our gut but also for our skin, for hydration and regular physical activities.

5- Sweat it Out- Regular physical activity and sweating helps with our complexion as well. When we exercise it increases blood flow to all the areas of our body and our skin. Increased blood flow means increased oxygens and nutrients delivered to the cells and it’s an opportunity for the cells to get rid of any toxins or cellular debristhat might have been hanging on. So more physical activity means helping your skin.

6- Decrease Stress- Exerccise not only helps with increased blood flow but also decreases stress. When going through stressful time our skin tends to break out more. When you are experiencing stress try spending time in nature or spent time with family and friends or some kind of self care ritual or simply a cup of warm tea take time to identify what you can do to bring some calm in your life to decrease the stress and your mental health and your skin will thankyou for it.

7- Keep Products Simple- If you are using day creams, night creams, cleansers, toners, makeup removers, facewashes and scrubs that suit your skin then just keep at it. It just feels and unnecessary expense and extra space in the bathroom for me. If your skin is not suitable for most of the products just keep it simple.

8- Give it Time- All good things take time. Don’t buy into quick fix results or overnight solutions. Remember consistent practice is the key. It have gotten into a new routine or are using a new product give it time and within a few weeks you will see the results.

9- Gently Exfoliate your Skin- Exfoliate your skin at least two to three times a week with a soft cloth and gently scrub to remove any skin debris.

10- Let it Breathe- Let your skin and pores breathe. Wear makeup occasionally and honour the natural beauty of your skin.

Healthy skin comes from within and from the outside try as much as you can minimise the amount of the things that you bombard your skin with.

Our mindset has a great impact on the decisions we make in our lives. I have usually heard people saying, think from your heart also sometimes, instead of always thinking from your mind. Our mindset changes the way we see the world.

Whatever we think comes from a positive thinking. It is very important to have a happy, positive mindset to create ideas, to do something, to make something out of nothing.

When you have a fixed mindset then things become limited. Your inner voice will be restricted. There will be a strong feeling of anxiety, fear and a voice from within making us feel demotivated. Creative thinking and a broad mindset will never come out. You will not get different ideas or thoughts.

You will be unable to make choices. A fixed mindset will force you into believing that you have fixed abilities, talent within you and that you can do only limited things.

For changing to a growth mindset, a positive mindset is a necessity. A positive attitude can help bring wisdom and enlightenment and with enlightenment there will be less self-talking and unnecessary negative thoughts, anxiety.

You have the power of your choices. You can choose how you interpret your feelings, desires and goals. You can take responsibility for your actions and how much effort you put into yourself and your goals, as well as other aspects of your life. Practising self love can be very helpful. People who love themselves are able to do so they still maintain the ability to think positively and logically while maintains emotional stability. Treat yourself well and change your outlook by making decisions that you know will make you happy and motivated.You have the power of your choices.

A positive mindset can give you more confidence, improve your mood.

Start you day with a positive mindset. Be happy, positive and look to the day as a very happy, great and positive kind of day.

Focus on good things, however small. Many obstacles come throughout the day which make you feel irritated, angry, frustrated. You will think that your day is bad. Focus on the good things, see life differently. If anything is having a negative impact, look towards the positive side of that thing. How you can benefit from it. How you can make a worse thing into a good thing.

Allow yourself to experience humor in even the darkest or most trying situations. Remind yourself that this situation will probably make for a good story later and try to crack a joke about it. You aren’t perfect. You’re going to make mistakes and experience failure in life. Instead of focusing on your failures, focus on how the next time you going to turn your failures into lessons. Connect with positive people. People who have a positive thinking, positive mindset. People who are always happy, cheerful and look at life in a happy, positive way. It is difficult to find such people but not impossible. Try to find such kind of people as it will be beneficial for you. Do what you can to improve the positivity of others, and let their positivity affect you the same way.Allow yourself to experience humor in even the darkest or most trying situations.
