When the egg leaves your ovary, it goes through one of your fallopian tubes toward your uterus.

In the event that pregnancy doesn’t occur, your body needn’t bother with the thick covering in your uterus. Your coating separates, and the blood, supplements, and tissue stream out of your body through your vagina. Presto, it’s your period!

On this day each year, the Prime Minister of India extends the national flag “tiranga” or “tricolor” at the Red Fort. This year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi (Narendra Modi) will also raise the tricolor and head to the country from the Red Fort.
For the Unknown, the national flag was produced after a number of modifications and developments.


Take a look at some interesting facts about the national flag:


1- The first national flag of India was raised on August 7, 1906 at Parsee Bagan Square (Green Park) in Calcutta (then Calcutta). It consists of three horizontal stripes in green, yellow and red (from top to bottom). There is a sun and a new moon in the red bar and eight lotus flowers in the green bar.
2- The second banner was launched in 1907 by Mrs. Kama and her band of exiled revolutionaries. The second logo is similar to the first, but some changes have been made to it.

STEVE JOBS BY WALTER ISAAC- OVERVIEW

Steve Jobs by Walter Isaac is a biography of Steve Jobs that entails not only Steve’s detailed account about founding the iconic Apple company but it also details various aspects of his personal life and his decision making process. This article is not a review of the biography but it is just a list of things that I wanted to point out that were applicable to my own life and what lessons I learnt from it.

I have only ever seen Steve Jobs through online videos where he is introducing some of the most quintessential products of the decade like the iPhone, Mac air, and iPod that would all dictate the technological world for many years to come. The very first video I so of him was when he was on stage eloquently introducing the Mac book Air, he was so calm and collective and I remember being so enticed and willing to buy a product that was over a decade old. After watching a few more videos, I was absolutely awe struck by his sales technique. It was then that I realized that his method of presentation far exceeded the product on display and with enough time he’d be able to sell sand in a desert. But despite this spectacle, I was never really inspired to follow suit to develop my own presentation techniques to market myself better as a person. This was because when Steve was on stage he never stuttered or felt lost for words even once-as I often do. This made me think that maybe some people are just born confident with that level of leadership skills. It just felt so out of reach. That is before I came across his biography.

In the early days of his childhood and high school teens his demeanor was not much different from that of an average introverted person. He had very few friends and would spend most of his time working in the garage with his father. But, from a young age he showed a very potent interest in the field of engineering. Also, by a sheer stroke of luck, he happened to be living right in the middle of silicon valley, where the next decade’s worth of technological innovations would come from. Although success at this point feels tangible, Steve was still not the charismatic business magnet that we know him for today. He was no doubt brilliant in the field of engineering, but he was nowhere near the best. That title went to Steve Wozniack who is the Co-founder of apple. So if he did not find success through the field of engineering, how was he actually successful?

When he joined Reed college in the summer of 1972, he was just a normal skinny kid who liked to pull pranks all the time. His first step of growth was when he met Robert Friedland when he was selling his old type writer to him. Robert was unlike anyone Steve ever met before, he immediately took a liking to him. Robert was a very audacious and outgoing personal, unlike Steve. He would always speak his mind no matter what the situation or how it would make the other person feel. Steve was intrigued by his orthodox methods of dealing with problems and he soon accepted Robert as his sensei. Over the years Robert’s personality would rub off into his own and it was not long before he started developing his cold unforgiving stare and reality distortion field. Steve would then undertake many spiritual trips to discover himself and commit many mistakes on the way before becoming Steve Jobs the Co-founder of APPLE.INC. What this taught me is that no one is born a leader and even the best of the best have not always been the person they are today. I learnt that leadership comes with your own personal experience and the endeavors you have taken throughout your life time.

TIPS TO STAY FOCUSED

“Always remember, your focus determines your reality.” — George Lucas

Unless you have a strong desire to learn the information or develop a skill, it can be hard to focus all of your attention in one place. If you are impatient to learn or master anything, it wouldn’t benefit you more. If you are restless, you will make more mistakes and you will be more distracted as your whole focus will be on result, not on your action.

Instead, remain calm and be devoted to your work.

A mind which is calmer helps you to concentrate better, attaining undivided focus and it makes you proactive.

Television, smart phones, social media, friends, and family can all distract you from your goal of doing well in school. Create an environment that helps you focus. Set a schedule that maximized your study time. Try different study techniques and take breaks so you don’t become too overwhelmed. Here are some of the best tricks that scientists have come up with to help you increase your focus in studying.

  1. Get rid of distractions. Choose the right spot. In order to concentrate, you must eliminate those things that you know will distract you. Put up mobile devices. Turn off the TV. Close other pages in your web browser. Sit away from people making loud noises.
  2. Play music without lyrics. Some people cannot stand silence. They need to have background noise to help keep themselves motivated. Consider playing classical music softly. For some people, music helps them concentrate. For some, it doesn’t. Try it out and see what works best for you. A little something in the background can make you forget that you’re studying instead of out having fun.
  3. Come prepared. Be sure to have all the materials needed to work. Have pencils, pens, highlighters, paper, textbooks, calculators, or whatever else will help you finish the task. Organize the area. A clean space will mean less distractions too. Your goal should be to take care of everything outside of studying before you sit down to focus. If not, you’ll just end up getting up repeatedly. Having to stop and start takes more time than continuously working.
  4. Find a place where you can “unplug”. One of the biggest complaints that teachers have about their students is their inability to concentrate on a subject. Our constant use of social media and personal devices like cell phones divides our attention and makes it more difficult to concentrate.
  5. Learn when to say no. Often times, people find it difficult to concentrate on their studies because they are overextended with other obligations. If this is you, don’t be afraid to tell people no. Just explain that you need to study and won’t have the time or energy to do so, if you help them out.

    Ultimately, there’s no quick, one-size-fits-all solution to staying focused while studying. Different methods and tools will work better for some than others. However, with a little trial and error and the tools and techniques above, you can create a routine of focused studying that works best for you.

    Procrastination Essay

    Why do we Procrastinate?

    The reasons for a person procrastinating can be varied. It depends on person-to-person and situation-to-situation. However, there are some universal reasons that cause people to delay their tasks and actions. One of the most important ones is the fear of failure. When a person delays doing an important task or is disinterested in finishing it, the cause could be a deep-rooted fear of failure. It is in human nature to avoid and fear failure. So by choosing to never finish the task, we can avoid the consequences as well.

    Another reason is the lack of focus and determination. Feeling directionless and unfocused can often cause people to lose their wills to do their jobs. This leads to procrastination. Sometimes the lack of goals and objectives is also the reason a person loses their focus. Since they do not have an end-goal in mind, they end up wasting energy in other useless tasks.

    There are other reasons a person may procrastinate. Sometimes, a person may be too much of a perfectionist. This distracts them from other tasks. And then there are other reasons like laziness, low energy levels, easy distractions, etc.

    BEING YOUNG AND STUPID!

    If you could go back in time and change one thing, what would you like to change?

    I wouldn’t change a thing, because all the choices I made in the past, made me the person I am today. I am still a work in progress and have much to learn and grow. Who doesn’t? Therefore I’m no better than any of you. It’s when you fall is when you learn!

    You mess up sometimes and that’s ok! you can learn from that mistake. You may hurt people unintentionally or intentionally and you let yourself get hurt too in the process, just so you know how it feels when you fall, and avoid it happening again. You wake up to mornings that succeeded a night you would rather forget. You wake up to mornings that succeeded a night you wish you could remember. You say words you wish you could take back after you start regretting. You wish you had said words you’ll never get the chance to say again.

    Being here, in the present, you don’t want to stop believing in yourself.
    You think it was worth it, right? Hey, it probably was. It’s OKAY if things don’t go as planned! It’s OKAY to cry and move on!

    But is being young and stupid a good enough excuse?

    So now, I would like to share an experience of my own, It was during the 12th when I and my best friend decided to go to the same college, away from home, so we became hostelites. But it was during that time, we had a minor argument and misunderstanding, so we both stopped speaking to each other. I had a really bad mental breakdown, It was during that time my dad spoke, saying I was always too dependent on your friends, and I need to let things go and live on! After all, everything happens for a good reason! but people change, when time changes and they grow. But if even after all of those misunderstandings, the person still manages to come back into your life, then he was meant to stay. Now, I and my friend laugh, thinking back as it was such an inane situation.

    It was after that time, I realized I needed to be more self-dependent. I also realized communication is the key to solve most of the misunderstandings.

    I have met different kinds of people who taught me lessons that changed my perspective.

    Here’s a small part from,

    “The Little Boy and the Old Man” by Shel Silverstein

    Said the little boy, “Sometimes I drop my spoon.” Said the old man, “I do that too.” The little boy whispered, “I wet my pants.” “I do that too,” laughed the old man. Said the little boy, “I often cry.” The old man nodded, “So do I.“

    We probably behave stupidly because we don’t think, period! And maybe those who turn out to be wise were always full of the wisdom that we weren’t. Sounds philosophical, it’s not.

    I’m a big believer in learning from mistakes. I do reflect on my past experiences that carved me into the person I am today.

    Kannauj 🌹- The Perfume Capital of India

    “Kannauj is to India what Grasse is to France”

    Kannauj, India’s Grasse, has been producing attar (Perfumes) for over four centuries, well over 200 years before France’s Grasse rose to prominence. In the old days, this town had over 800 perfume distilleries. Around 85,000 folks dwell in this city, with about 4,000 employed in the attar business. Ittar making is a skill that’s been passed down through generations.

    Attar is an aromatic oil derived from natural sources like roses, musk, camphor, saffron, or agarwood. Except in rare cases, these natural perfumes are free of alcohol and chemicals.

    Both men and women are drawn to attars. They possess rich flowery, earthy, musky, smoky, or grassy notes. Attars can be both warming (cloves, cardamom, saffron) and cooling (jasmine, vetiver, marigold) depending on the season.

    Kannauj, the fascinating mitti attar, conjures the aroma of the earth after a downpour.

    Shamama, a distilled blend of 40 or more flowers, herbs, and resins that takes days to prepare and months to age, is another sought-after concoction. The scent combines sweetness, spice, smoke, and dampness to create an ethereal experience for the wearer.

    White jasmine blossoms and vetiver plants are used in summer varieties. The soil is utilized for monsoon varieties like Mitti ittar, which smells of damp earth, and winter varieties include Heena ittar and musk ittar.

    ATTAR MAKING PROCESS

    Attar is made by skilled craftsmen known as ‘dighaas‘ using a traditional steam distillation method called ‘deg and bhapka,’ which translates to ‘large pot and little pot.’

    The dighaas begin by pouring the key ingredient into the deg, followed by cold water, then sealing it with a special clay. The concoction is brought to a boil by logs burning under the deg. The dighaas must ensure that the temperature remains constant during the process and that the attar doesn’t overheat or become contaminated.

    Next, the steam travels from the ‘deg’ to the ‘bhapka’ (receiver) via a bamboo pipe known as the ‘chonga’. A layer of oil traps the evaporating scent molecules there, Sandalwood oil was formerly utilized for this layer, but because of its hefty price and scarcity, alternative oil-like substances are now employed instead.

    Depending on the intended concentration of the final attar, the distillation process is repeated numerous times. It may take up to 25 days to complete the process.

    CURRENT CRISIS

    The number of perfume distilleries has dwindled from over 800 to just over 100 in recent years, as synthetic fragrances outpace attars in popularity. Kannauj is witnessing a crisis at present. Demand for attar started plummeting as power transferred to British India. Pure Mysore sandalwood was and still is expensive, but when the Indian government banned the trade of sandalwood in the late 1990s, the price of attar soared. In place of sandalwood, natural replacements such as liquid paraffin are used, and although this kind of attar is similar to the original, it falls short. At the same time, affluent Indians transferred their loyalty to imported Western fragrances and deodorants to portray themselves as modern and upper class.

    Only a few people in India still purchase attars. It is crucial to resolve the issue for these historic perfume industries to sustain their uniqueness and viability.

    75 years of independence of India

    So the article is about entering of India into 75 th year of independence this year. As we know the independent word was not associated with India ealier as the Britishers ruled for almost 200 years in India.We were not recognized as a nation in the world. There was no existence of India as an independent country. But after so much of struggle, sacrifices, partition and much more we got independent on the midnight of 15 August 1947. The day which was written in history in golden words. Our first Prime Minister Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru hoisted the national flag from the ramparts of the Red Fort in Delhi. This was the dawn of a new India towards progress and prosperity. The Independence Day fills every Indian with immense joy and happiness. It is known as the national festival of India. All the offices and every institution across the country celebrates the flag hoisting ceremony. This year the Prime Minister mentioned it as “Amrit Mahotsav”. The people were excited about it and everyone send their videos of singing the national anthem and that too they were played during the ceremony today. We can see a mixture of our traditions and modern resources because of the pandemic situation people could not see the ceremony by being there present as it happened earlier but by this we were a part of the ceremony.

    The tricolour flag hoisted from the Red Fort makes us a more proud to be an Indian. India achieved millions of milestones in these 75 years. From earth to space , from being dependent on the world to “Skill India”. India is being known as “vishwaguru” to the world. In the pandemic situation our yoga practices and natural immunity booster were proved a boon to the world. The largest vaccination drive is an example that with proper management and resources we could perform and achieve our objectives in time to benefit people. In every field India is making achievement whether it be medical science or sports or international conferences. India is also focussing on being self dependent on every sector as this the need of the hour. We are a youth country and we have major population as youth. The government is focusing on providing multiple options for the youth. The world is looking towards India as its role model.

    VARIOUS DANCE FORMS OF INDIA

    Dances reflect the mood and feelings of human beings through expression and body movements. India is known for many dance forms each of which is originated from its state. However, only six classical dance forms such as Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, Kathak, Kathakali, Odissi, and Manipuri are nationally recognized. Apart from this, many dance forms have their origin from India. Indian dance arts are not only about body movements and gestures. It is one of the ancient ways of showing devotion to God. It shows the inseparable connectivity with the Indian culture. Here, in this article, some of the famous dance forms of India would be discussed briefly.

    BHARATANATYAM

    Being one of the most famous classical dances of the world, Bharatanatyam owns its origin from Tamil Nādu, one of the southern states of India. Bharatanatyam was performed for the divine Carnatic music by women in temples in the ancient period. The movements and gestures of this dance form are called mudras and the dancer uses mudras and facial expressions to show the Navarasa (9 emotions). It is one of the most honourable art and is still learned by many women in the south.

    KATHAK

    Kathak is an Indian dance form that has its origin from the northern state, Uttar Pradesh. The word Kathak is derived from the term ‘Katha’ which means story. This dance is performed in a way to narrate a story with the dance movements. Both male and female dancers perform together. The ankle movement is the most important one which is done by wearing the Ghungroos (Ankle bells). 

    KATHAKALI

    Kathakali is another traditional dance form that is related to storytelling. It is originated from The Land of Spices of India, Kerala. The tales performed are Ramayana and Shiva stories. It includes heavy makeup, costumes, and face masks that are bright and colourful. The dance depicts both evil and good through facial expressions and gestures.

    KUCHIPUDI

    Kuchipudi, belonging to the southern state Andhra Pradesh is said to be the toughest dance form. It includes singing along with dancing. Hence it requires more skill and dedication compared to other forms. It was performed by male dancers, especially the brahmins in temples in ancient times. However, as time flew it became common and is performed even by women nowadays.

    ODISSI

    Odissi is the oldest dance form from the eastern state of India, Odisha. It narrates the stories of the Gods Shiva and Surya which are given in the form of poems. These poems are played as songs and the dancers express them through more than 50 intriguing mudras. These mudras are sculpted in the Hindu temples of India. It is preserved by practicing and making its survivance till today.

    MANIPURI

    Manipuri stands as a symbol to represent the rich traditions of the north-eastern state, Manipur. It narrates the romantic relationship between Lord Krishna and Radha, which is called Raas Leela. It is performed to the music of classical instruments by wearing the traditional Manipuri costumes and makeup to showcase the tale of the two gods. 

    Bhangra, Garba, Bihu, Mohiniyattam, Ghoomar, Lavani, Rouf, Karagattam, etc. are the other well-known dance forms of India. 

    ANTIBODIES – Our Body’s Military Force!

    ANTIGENS:

    These are the foreign bodies that have the capability to bind with the immunogen and also induce an immune response from our body.
    The majority of antigens are made up of protein. But some can also be made of carbohydrates, lipids, or nucleic acid.

    ANTIBODIES/ IMMUNOGLOBULINS:

    An antibody is a protein molecule that is generated in the living being by the plasma membrane of the cell. The majority of antibodies are produced in the blood, hence the name immunoglobulins.

    Each antibody consists of four polypeptides– two heavy chains and two light chains joined to form a “Y” shaped molecule.
    The amino acid sequence in the tips of the “Y” varies greatly among different antibodies. This variable region, composed of 110-130 amino acids, gives the antibody its specificity for binding antigen.

    Antibodies are divided into five major classes, IgM, IgG, Iga, IgD, and IgE, based on their constant region structure and immune functions.

    IgG antibody function :

    IgG provides long-term protection because it persists for months and years after the presence of the antigen that has triggered their production. IgG protects against bacteria, viruses, neutralizes bacterial toxins, triggers complement protein systems, and binds antigens to enhance the effectiveness of phagocytosis.

    IgM antibody function :

    IgM is involved in the ABO blood group antigens on the surface of RBCs. IgM enhances ingestions of cells by phagocytosis.

    IgA antibody function :

    The main function of IgA is to bind antigens on microbes before they invade tissues. It aggregates the antigens and keeps them in the secretions so when the secretion is expelled, so is the antigen. IgA is also the first defense for mucosal surfaces such as the intestines, nose, and lungs.

    IgE antibody function :

    IgE bind to mast cells and basophils which participate in the immune response. Some scientists think that IgE’s purpose is to stop parasites.

    IgD antibody function :

    IgD plays a role in the induction of antibody production.

    IMMUNE SYSTEM IN OUR BODY:

    The main role of the immune system is to recognize the pathogen, respond to the foreign antigens, and memorize them.

    LYMPHOID ORGANS:

    These are further divided into two types:
    1) Primary lymphoid organs: This comprises of bone marrow and thymus, where T-lymphocytes and the B-lymphocytes mature and acquire their antigen-specific receptors.
    2) Secondary lymphoid organs: It comprises of lymph nodes, spleen, and Mucosa Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT). After maturation of the T- lymphocyte and the B-lymphocyte, they migrate here via blood vascular and lymphatic system, where they undergo differentiation.

    VACCINISATION OR IMMUNISATION:

    A vaccine is generally a half-killed or weakened disease-causing pathogen that is then given to the healthy individual through injection or drops, which has the ability to generate an immune response but not cause any disease or doesn’t have the ability to spread in the body. This causes acquired immunity against the disease-causing pathogen. This is called as vaccination or immunization.
    The concept of vaccination is based on the ‘memory’ of the immune system. Our immune system has the ability to recognize the pathogen if it has once been already spotted and antibodies have been created by our body.
    So when the same pathogen enters our body, it is immediately spotted by the lymphocytes, and the antibodies are produced almost instantly given a quick response.

    ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION:

    It is the process of replacement of diseased tissue with healthier ones. Various factors are involved in transplanting an organ from a donor to a recipient such as tissue matching, immunosuppression, the immune response generated in the recipient. T-cells play a major role in the process of rejection.

    CONCLUSION:

    Antigens are the substance majority made of protein that has the capability to stimulate the production of antibodies. Antibodies are protein molecule that inactivates the antigen. They are also called immunoglobulins. Lymphoid organs are the place where the maturation of lymphocytes takes place. Vaccine is introduced into our body to prepare antibodies against certain pathogens. While organ transplant has its own pros and cons.
