THE BASIC AND BEST EXPLANATION ONE CAN GIVE YOU ABOUT INSURANCE AND BENEFITS OF IT….

                                                           The Noble facts on Insurance 

Basically, let us consider the term Insurance, what it is? And yes, you all do have a general idea of what it is or how it helps your family as we all pre-admit that events happen suddenly and nothing can be stopped.

To make our family and our future generations secure, these are made at the earliest years by the respective applicant whether on his name or on some of his family members. 

You get an insurance plan from a reputed organization so you are safe and secure financially for any circumstances in life. Always take measures to check whether you are applying under the right authorized place of issuer from the policy banks as fraudsters may consume your savings and cheat your whole money entirely.

Gradually a kind of general insurance is in boom these days as they provide support vitally under various criteria of your life including foreign travels and motor vehicles. 

Furthermore in simple terms I can recite as considering law facts, it is a kind of savings or asset that banks offer you to safeguard your money without losing it. In return to those benefits, they help you out if you are critically affected under the terms, I have mentioned below as you get a guarantee of payment from them. 

Based on the needs we can classify them under five essential categories and they are:

  1. Health/Medical Insurance                                            f) Marine Insurance
  2. Family Insurance                                                            g) Fire Insurance
  3. Travel Insurance                                                             h) Liability Insurance
  4. Vehicle Insurance                                                           i) Social Insurance
  5. Property Insurance                                                         j) Guarantee Insurance 

Various researchers say that these policies always benefit a whole generation even if the person who has the payment responsibility proves death. It is like a gift you leave to your children even if you die. About 3 out of 4 have secured their own and family life by taking up these premium plans, what about you? 

These policies are long-term or short-term contracts based on the amount and number of years you wish to pay for. As they provide reimbursement against your precious losses from a company or even from banks. The company takes into account the client’s risks in life thus making payments as a bit higher than they have invested/insured.

Certain people may have an opinion of why it is important but literally it is because you safeguard your family without some financial earnings of yours to run their life even after not with them. Just think about the situation: if there’s nothing left for them after you, what will happen? Life will become miserable and has to be left stranded without any support or protection from anyone. 

And make sure you opt for Term Life Insurance as it covers up greater periods kind of a life insurance totally under a specific life cover obviously. Also updating them on a monthly/yearly basis becomes necessary to make the flow of your premium continue until it ends and matures till the selected duration.

Also, you might face some additional charges if you discontinue it after certain months and you  don’t gain any benefit at all. So, it’s better to drop out if you try to discontinue your current plans in those premiums.

So, if you are reluctant about these plans or with a mind that these won’t work, I literally call you a mad person as you didn’t know or better consider only about you in better terms. Try to take into account the factors in reality as anything can happen.

And please don’t make you left-stranded as it is like you push them into a pit with your own hands which is really a heart-melting situation for anyone. Kind of a pin pricking our souls when we are supportless among others.

A HELPFUL PERSON I’VE MET

There are very less people in this world who will stay by your side always or help you always. But still, they exist. I’m glad that I had encountered with such person. So, when I was in 8th grade I shifted to a new school in a different city. Being a quite introverted person I always had problems while meeting new people or adjusting to new environment. I always take time to get comfortable with new people.

That same thing happened on my first day in the new school. I was not able converse with other students. Some even made fun of me. I almost believed that this is worst day of my life. I was feeling humiliated but then a girl approached me and tried to talk to me. At first I thought she must be here to make fun of me like others but she just wanted to be friends with me. I accepted her offer and slowly we become close.

She was very good at studies so she helped me with my studies and she often provided me with notes if I was absent in school. We used to play many games during our free time. She also helped me with my projects and assignments. Slowly we became best friends, we would often visit each others’ houses. I felt no longer lonely with her. On days, when I felt miserable and giving up she would motivate me and helped me to stay calm.

She was literally the best person I’ve ever met. Her interests were in literature so she used to write a lot about various topics and things. She was very ambitious towards her goal which used to inspire me a lot. Whenever someone tried to break our friendship She always stayed my side and never left me. Even after so many years when I think about our friendship, I feel really blessed to have such friend.

HOW CAN YOU MANAGE YOUR TIME ?

How To Improve Time Management While Working From Home (Tips + Tools)

You can manage your time wisely if you can control your sub-conscious mind. You need to concentrate so you don’t want to get diverted.

1.Clear your mind. Trust yourself

Bring positivity in yourself and remind yourself that you can do it. You can do this by doing some creative activities, it could be painting, reading books, playing any sports or singing whatever catches your interest.

2.Start your day by setting goals. Stick it to the nearest wall.

This will remind you of your goals even if you are distracted. Looking at those goals you will feel that you should not waste your precious time and work hard.

3.Follow your decision


If you ever feel like giving up remind yourself “Why I decided to make a schedule ?”, “What made me do that ?” and stick back to it. If you control your desire today you will be able to control your brain tomorrow without any distraction.

4.Make a note of your activity every night

Keep a track of your progress. It will motivate you to work even harder.

5.Stop saying negative things

Your mind doesn’t understand what’s wrong or right. If you keep saying that you can’t do it, then you won’t be able to do.

HAVE WE FORGOTTON OUR SHEROES ?

Women have made landmark contributions encompassing various fields.Its time we sing joys of celebration for our sheroes too like we do for men.They have suffered various setbacks in life but emerged powerful as pointed out by Swami Vivekanand ,“Woman has suffered for eons, and that has given her infinite patience and infinite perseverance”.

For celebration we need to know about the milestones they have crossed and the hinderances they’ve overcome.

Their benefactions can be categorized Two folds .First theEducational Sector.

Second the Political and the Social Sector.

In Education:-

When discussing about Economy we cannot rule out the role education.The first female graduates Kadimbini Ganguly and Chandramukhi Bose long broke the stereotypes of Male centric education system.There have been other historic Educationists of India like Ayyalasomayajula Lalitha who became the first Engineer of India back in 1943.

Anandibai Gopalrao Joshi was the first female doctor of India.

SavitriBai Phule along with Mahatma Jyotiba Phule led a movement for education of Girls.

They faced social ostracization and societal pressures but did not stop.In the end, SavitriBai Died while serving the victims of plague.In the field of law which was highly patriarchic Cornelia Sorabji broke all shakles and became India’s first female lawyer.                                                           Durgabai Deshmukh an early lawyer and political activist said-“I had then decided to take up the study of law so that I could give women free legal aid and assist them to defend themselves.”

These woman are not mere inspirations or role models,theybecame game changers and paved the way for education for the upcoming generation.

Polity:-

Politics despite being male dominated ,some Strong Female leaders have made immense contributions to freedom struggle. Going back to the the Delhi Sultanate,Razia Sultan became the first and last Female to ever became sultan in 1236.

After that there were different princely states in which women lead their dynasties. Rani Laxmibai became an epitome of strength along with JhalkariBai giving a strong fight to British.

Uda Devi a ‘Dalit Virangana’ fought the British Bravely in 1857 Battle.

Rani Gaidinliu of Manipur,was imprisoned at a young age of 13 because of her Anti-British Stand.During the 1857 Revolt the participation of Begum Hazrat Mahal of Lucknow is unmatched.AhalyaBai Holkar of Malwa Kingdom is still remembered as one of the Finest Leaders of India.In the modern era of freedom struggle Female Leaders like Sarojini Naidu,Annie Besant,Vijay Laxmi Pandit(First Female President of UNGA),Aruna Asif Ali(Grand Old Lady of Independence) etc fought against the British.        

Be it Anti partition movement of 1906 or Non Co-operation Movement or Civil Disobedient Movement, Women have added by large,the amplitude of struggle.

Revolutionaries like Capt.Laxmi Sehgal lead the Jhasi rani regiment of INA Army made by Subhash Chandra Bose.AlsoPritilata Waddedar,Kalpana Datta took up arms against the British.

Post-Independence Rajkumari Amrit Kaur became the first woman Health Minister of India.

Indira Gandhi not just became India’s First Prime Minister but also was the first female Finance Minister(1970-71),to present a budget.Sucheta Kriplani became the first female to become a Chief Minister of UP,also Sarojini Naidu became the first ever female Governor in UP.

The list of contributions made by our early Women is never ending. Such zeal and sacrifices, on par with those of Men, despite miniscule opportunities, simply motivates us.

It would be appropriate to agree with Mohammad Ali Jinnah when he quoted,

There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women”.

Mohd Ali Jinnah

HOW TO KNOW THAT YOU’RE ON THE RIGHT PATH ?

We all try really hard to become successful and for that we need to know our right path. We think about the situation if we not become successful in future. The fear of failure haunts everyone. We all are in a blind race of success and sometimes we forget our genuine subjects of interest in this rat race.

Pin on LDS Quotes

You all might have heard stories of people in which, initially they were involved in other professions like engineer or management but now they are in different profession maybe actor or fashion designer. There could be many explanations for it, one of them could be they didn’t have a clue about their right path, their inclinations.

The signs which tell that you are on the right path are:

1.You’re not doing things that make you feel uncomfortable.

2.You’re not making statements you later apologize for.

3.You don’t want to think twice about the Big Deal Stuff.

4.You feel your feeling of significant worth or worth and see it reflected back by your current circumstance.

5.You’re certain about your decisions and life.

The signs which tell that you are on the wrong path are:

1.The current situation is costing you your force.

2.You feel depleted. Getting tired is fine. Depleted means drained.

3.You feel ridiculously befuddled about where your life is going.

4.You are particularly on some unacceptable way when you feel as you are “losing yourself” to a specific circumstance.

5.In the event that you wind up saying “I can’t resist the urge to feel like I lost myself,” then, at that point you’ve presumably sold out yourself somehow or another.

If you ever feel like you are on the wrong path and need to escape the present situation then you ought to ask yourself questions like “What do I really want ?“. If you feel you are too afraid to get out of circumstance thinking it would make it only worse, then you should know that it is your life. You reserve an option to live your life in your own particular manner. You don’t have to compromise with your interests. Individuals who are in contact with their inward aides can all the more likely explore life’s hindrances. They quit jobs as they know aren’t ideal for them. They cut off relationships that aren’t satisfying. They settle on extreme decisions, since they know they’re taking the right decisions.

It’s hard to know the correct way for yourself however not impossible. The primary thing you need is to trust yourself, realize that you’re picking a right way for yourself and no one knows you better than you. Decide your objective and achieve it everyday, every week and every month. Don’t be hard on yourself. Relax and think with peaceful mind.

QUALITIES OF GOOD LEADER

Best characteristics of an effective leader | IronStrike

1.Good Communications skills

Communication can make or break your efforts to connect with your team, manage and coordinate initiatives, and build trust within your organization. Great pioneers speak with a worker first focal point. They communicate based on the needs and preferences of their team members and seek to listen to and understand the employee experience.

2.Have a dream for what’s to come/have a vision

Vision gives center, inspiration, and course to travel through change and snags. Great pioneers have a reasonable vision and can express the way ahead to their group. Leaders ought to have the option to interface the work on the ground to the master plan and give the explanation for all that they do.

3. Understanding what others want

For dealing with a group one should understand what sorts of jobs are reasonable for every single individual from the group. The pioneer ought to have the capacity to use every individuals potential to the most extreme. Each colleague ought to have singular objectives fell down from a solitary Goal and vision of the group. Colleagues accordingly feel that their commitments are significant in accomplishing the goal/Goal.

4.Consider themselves responsible

Great pioneers consider themselves responsible and are continually attempting to improve and advance. They are perpetually discontent with business as usual. Responsibility and consistent improvement require a guarantee to looking for and following up on criticism, gaining from errors, and course remedying.

5.Show appreciation

A grateful pioneer is an powerful pioneer. Appreciation brings positive collaborations and association, expands commitment, and fabricates flexibility. Grateful leaders comprehend that achievement is a collaboration and they make a point to perceive the work and commitments of their group.

The bottom-most – Troposphere

We all know that we are surrounded by air, we feel it in the form of wind. But have you ever thought why it gets cold as we go up? Or how is it that our earth never heats up even when the sun supplies it with so much energy? Or how is the temperature at night maintained even when there is no sun? Or how is fog formed? And why is it formed mostly in winters (or in areas having low temperature)?

The troposphere is the bottom-most layer of the Earth’s atmosphere (contains 75% of the total mass of the planetary atmosphere, 99% of the total mass of water vapor and aerosols, source-Wikipedia). It is the densest layer of the atmosphere (owing to the highest gravitational force experienced in this layer). Most types of clouds are found here. All the weather and climate activity take place in this layer. The troposphere has the highest amount of water vapor and the temperature decreases as we go up.

The troposphere extends 10 km up above the sea level. The height of the top of the troposphere varies with latitudes, lowest at the poles and highest at the equator: the poles have low temperature and the equator has high temperature (low density) and by season, lower in winter and higher in summer, again a function of density. It is approximately 20 km near the equator, and about 7 km over the poles in winter. Air is warmest at the bottom of the troposphere near ground level, because of terrestrial radiation of earth. Air gets colder as one rises through the troposphere, as the molecule density decreases and inter-molecular space increases and so less radiation is absorbed. That’s why the peaks of mountains are many-a-times snow covered throughout the year. Air pressure and the density of the air also decrease with altitude, all a function of the number of molecules.

The layer immediately above the troposphere is called the stratosphere separated from the troposphere by tropopause. The tropopause is the area between the two atmospheric layers where the temperature is constant.

The sun emits short wavelength radiations that are absorbed by the earth’s surface (note, surface not atmosphere). The earth’s surface later emits long wavelength radiations that are absorbed by the molecules of air (the Green house gases) which is responsible for maintaining the earth’s temperature. The oceanic currents and the wind movements, due to change in pressures is what is responsible for distributing the earth’s heat so that heat is distributed and no region experiences any extreme. The radiations absorbed by the gas molecules are reflected back towards the earth as well as towards the space. This heat, thus, absorbed by the earth goes back to the atmosphere. The terrestrial radiation is what maintains the earth’s temperature when there is no sun.

Now, can you guess the formation of fog. It is formed in areas where cold and warm air or ocean currents meet. It is the condensation of water molecules, around nuclei (molecules to act as bases) near to the earth’s surface. Now you can guess why it happens in winters. The temperature difference increases making condensation easier. The phenomenon, where the temperature of earth increases with height is known as temperature inversion, like what happens when terrestrial radiation heats air upwards or when hot air rises due to convection. It is the condition of instability.

GREEDINESS – A HEART ISSUE!!!

Greediness is the path of destruction of people. When people are greedy, they are blinded by the wrong actions and never be able to come of from that without a constant effort. To make you understand easier, I brought you a story written by C. Rajagopalachari who is was the last Governor-General of India.

Quotes about Being Greedy (39 quotes)

The protagonist of the story is Rammaya. He is a simple man living with his wife in a nice house made of tiled roof in a small town. Though he is not rich, he could take care of this family well. There lived two sparrows in the nice spot of the tiled roof of Rammaya’s house adn the mother bird has laid its eggs in the nest.

The male sparrow asked the female why Ramaya’s wife often quarrel with Rammaya. The female replied how could I know and told the male to mind its own business. Then the male sparrow said, you are always self-centered and also asked whether thy could help Rammaya. The female sparrow replied aggressively “don’t talk about the matter that does’nt concern us. It is enough for us if the cat doesn’t come to us”. Here comes the main twist.

The male sparrow picked a diamond nose-jewel somewhere from the land. As soon as picking it, went to its nest and asked the female bird ” Do you like it?” The female replied, what could I do with this diamond jewel. It scolded the male to bring food for the young ones. this male bird dropped the diamond jewel in the house and went to search food for the young ones.

Rammaya’s wife noticed the stud while sweeping the floor. She didn’t think of anything and with delight she wore it. Ramaya became angry and asked her how did she get that diamond stud. She replied causally that she found it and so she wore it. Rammaya insisted her to hand it over to the village magistrate. He also said, if police come and search for it, it will be a disgrace for us.

In the neighbourhood, the talk begun about the lost diamond-stud. The owner of the stud is Meenakshi Ammal’s daughter. She consoled the little girl and also said not to tell her father. If he knows he would in rage, said Meenakshi Ammal. But this talk was heard by the little girl’s father and it has to be admitted. The suspect was the maid-servant Kuppayi. The police searched her but could find nothing. After hearing this, Rammaya was very timid and his wife put the diamond ring in a safe place. Soon after that she had severe fever and was kept in the bed. So no one searched their house.

The male sparrow said, the lady of the house is scared and is down with fever. Replied the female sparrow, it is solely due to your doing. THe male answered bravely, “Did I ask her to steal it?” THis is because the humans are bound to be greedy. The female appreciated the male and said that we should never be greedy for what belongs to others.

The story came to an end by, Rammaya and his wife lived their whole life with the fear of being caught. THe diamond-stud may be with them but the fear of getting caught is more than that.

The thing I understand from the story is, We humans have six sense yet we don’t have conscience. We are greedy and not being truthful and helpful to others. We know birds have only five senses. Do think about the birds and humans. The birds aren’t greedy forwhat doesn’t belong to them. But the humans are greedy.

Even if you don’t help otherrs, try not to be greedy!!!

T.V., mobiles , computers and the Suffering childhood

Photo by Jean van der Meulen on Pexels.com

Ever since the onset of the pandemic and the beginning of online classes, mobiles and computers have played a significant role in education and mobile, televisions and laptops are the source of entertainment to kids and relaxation to the parents. Since the advent and accessibility of technology to children, its ability to entice the mind of children has grown exponentially. Programs and advertisements meant specifically for kids , it increases the overall effect technology has on the mind of children.

Though the technology today is important for education, its negative effects on the minds and body of children plays a significant role. It affects the cognitive development of child’s mental faculties, and lowers their concentration level ,with them switching to various modes of entertainment in between their studies. t also , very severely might I add, degrades health and physicality of a growing child, caused due to increased exposure to radiations and lack of physical activities. Children are exposed to sensitive and violent content that later reflects in their behaviors. Children really are growing far quickly than their ages. All these reasons being mentioned, children are leading themselves to paths of self destruction. Online people are exposed to certain degrees of online harassments (eg.- phishing). Adults can protect themselves, having gained knowledge and awareness, but what about kids? We all agree as to how the presence of any digital device in close vicinity is more than enough to keep us up for hours. Grown up and all , this is our level of self restraint. So let us think about kids. Unsupervised, what restraint will those kids show?

The children have, due to years of access, grown a certain fondness over their gadgets as well as over those lethargic activities they call games . As a result, younger children are having issues with face-to-face social interactions. Many of them (well, even us adults sometimes) seem to prefer to text or talk on social media as opposed to talking to each other in-person. Even when children spend time together, they may spend more time texting or on their phones than actually being together, engaging in group activities and games. Well, group activities now refer to chat rooms and online games.  

Though, we can’t disagree, the important role technology has in the overall development of a child’s personality. Access to world class education, unlimited resources and that too without any geographic or economic barrier (well, not not any but definitely reduced barriers). But it is important that it is carefully regulated, especially for the children in the teen or pre-teen age group.

Gen Alpha

The successors of Gen Z (1997-2012), the youngest adults currently, the gen Alpha were welcomed to the earth about a decade ago. The gen Alpha (or the gen A) comprises of all the people born after 2012 to maybe, around 2025. These people are the future of the world and though currently, all those reading this article might belong to Gen Z or Gen Y, (or millennials as you all like to call yourselves), knowing about our successors won’t hurt.

Let us first begin with why are the generations named after alphabets.

It all started post World War-2. Americans at that time enjoyed a new found prosperity which resulted in a lot of children being born. The children in this era came to be known as ‘baby boomers’. Well, the name here is self explanatory though, so no issue. The children born after this era, didn’t have any special cultural identifier that made them different. And so here, the name ‘Gen X’ originated, illustrating the diminishes characteristics that would later be known. The generations next was by default known as ‘Gen-y’, though they later adopted a new name- ‘the Millennials’, when the impending turn of the millennium began to feature heavily in the cultural consciousness.

It is now assumed, though, that both the ‘gen-Z’ and the ‘gen-A’, will later adopt a new name that suits their interests. Some potential names for ‘gen-z’ include Gen Tech, post-Millennials, iGeneration, Gen Y-Fi, and Zoomers.

Gen-A is the first generation to be born completely in the 21st century and most off them are the children of millennials. Generation Alpha is expected to reach two billion by 2025. Many members of Generation Alpha have and will grow up using smartphones and tablets as part of their childhood entertainment as well as education with many being exposed to devices as a soothing distraction or educational aids, especially now with the global pandemic. Generation Alpha have also been surrounded by adult Internet use from the beginning of their lives, much more even when compared to gen-x (whose parents are primarily gen-x). Their parents, primarily Millennials, are heavy social media users and rely heavily on gadgets for work and even entertainment (Alexaaa!). Broadcast television viewing among children has declined during the early lives of Generation Alpha. Statistics from the United States suggested that viewing of children’s cable networks among American 2- to 11-year-olds were falling sharply in early 2020 and continued to do so even after them being at home due to pandemic(source: Wikipedia). After some time, we might not even see cartoon channels in the wake of the children belonging entirely to Gen-Alpha or Gen-Beta .

The first wave of Generation Alpha will venture into adulthoods in 2030s. By that time, the human population is estimated to be just under nine billion, and the world will have the highest ever proportion of people aged over 60. Gen Alpha has a huge burden waiting for them.

The Rock cycle

Photo by Anthony on Pexels.com

Look at all the rocks around you. They are a very important part of your existence, they form soils, are used in construction, for manufacturing substances, making medicines, cosmetics and soo much more. So you kinda get an idea, right?

Come, let us all today see the various kinds of rocks surrounding us and how they are formed.

There are 3 kinds of rocks-

  1. Igneous rocks- These are the most primary form of rocks and are formed when the molten lava cools and solidifies. They can be formed both inside the earth as well as the earth’s surface. When formed inside the surface of earth, they are known as intrusive igneous rocks (having a course structure with large mineral gains indicating they spent a large amount of time inside the earth’s crust) . Examples are granite and diorite. And when igneous rocks are formed on the earths crust they are known as extrusive igneous rocks. They have relatively small grains and very fine structure. Examples are rocks like basalt and obsidian.
  2. Sedimentary rocks- These rocks are formed from pieces of existing igneous or metamorphic rocks or biological material that undergo weathering and erosion and get deposited in the form of strata or layers. These are further sub-divided into three types- clastic, organic, and chemical . Clastic(eg.- sandstone) and organic rocks(eg.- coal) are formed due to weathering of rock into small fragments which are later transported to new places, or the biological materials like plants, shells, and bones that are compressed into rock. Chemical sedimentary rocks(eg- limestone) are the result of chemical precipitation. A chemical precipitate forms when the solution (usually water) evaporates and leaves the compound behind.
  3. Metamorphic rocks- When either the igneous or the sedimentary rocks are subjected to immense heat or pressure, metamorphic rocks are formed. They are of two types- foliated and non-foliated.  When the minerals line up in layers, they form foliated rock. (eg.- gneiss- made from granite). Non- foliated rocks follow the same procedure but they do not have the layered appearance of foliated rocks. Sedimentary rocks ( bituminous coal, for example) when provided enough heat and pressure, can turn into non-foliated metamorphic rocks (anthracite coal).

ROCK CYCLE

All the three types of rocks are inter-changeable into one another.

  1. The igneous rock can be subjected to intense heat and pressure and form metamorphic rock or be weathered and eroded to give rise to sedimentary rocks or it can even be subducted and melt to give way to magma and again form igneous rock .
  2. The sedimentary rocks can either be subjected to extreme conditions of temperature or pressure to form metamorphic rocks or subduct to form magma or even weather and erode to again from sedimentary rock.
  3. The metamorphic rocks can either erode to give rise to sedimentary rocks or subduct to form magma that can later form igneous rocks.

This is how the rock cycle in our surroundings work. Rocks are continuously weathered and eroded and subducted and exposed to high heat and pressure. Some of the forces that drive the rock cycle are-

  1. Plate tectonic
  2. Spreading ridges
  3. Subduction zone
  4. Continental collision
  5. Accelerated erosion

This is all in the article about rock process.

Clouds

All of us have looked at the clouds. Many of them appear white, sometimes fluffy, sometimes as thin as a wisp, sometimes black. Based on the color of clouds, we predict the weather for the day. But have you ever looked at all the clouds and wondered just how many different types of clouds we encounter everyday and we just categorize them as black and white.

So, today let us look at the categorization of various kinds of clouds that exist and see what they predict about our day.

Clouds are at the basic level subdivided into 3 categories-

  1. High clouds- They occur between 20,000-40,000 feet above the sea level. They mainly occur in a feathery form. (very high above the ground. Air has less molecules of water vapor as well as possible nuclei for cloud formation. Air molecules are scattered ). These clouds do not bring rainfall.
  2. Medium clouds- They occur in the range of 10,000-20,000 feet above the sea level. They occur as clusters of clouds and can bring rainfall and snow.
  3. Low clouds- Occur in the range of 6,500-10,000 feet. These clouds mainly block sunlight ans can cause light drizzle/mist. Ever seen clouds appear beneath you from a mountain top?

The high clouds have 3 kinds of cloud varieties-

  1. Cirrus- Thin, wispy, fibrous clouds that appear in bright blue sky are cirrus. They barely dim the sunlight though. They are made of tiny ice crystals that scatter the sunlight , thereby making the clouds appear orange or yellow, making for a beautiful sunrise or sunset.

2. Cirrocumulus- Very high cumulus clouds that appear as white globular masses forming ripples.

3. Cirrostratus- A stratus cloud (horizontal layering with uniform base), it occurs in the from of a thin white sheet or veil and provides the sky a milky texture, making the sun/moon shine with a characteristic ‘halo’.

The ‘mid-level clouds have 3 varieties-

  1. Altocumulus- These are the wooly bumpy clouds that occur in layers. They look like waves in blue sky. Can cover the sky occasionally.

2. Altostratus- These are denser grayish clouds and have a watery look.

3. Nimbostratus- ‘Nimbo’ means precipitating. These clouds are associated either with rain or snow and are dark-dull layered clouds.

The low level clouds have 3 sub-types-

  1. Stratus- These are very low clouds. Uniformly grey, thick clouds, they cause light drizzle an dull weather. They also reduce aircraft visibility and are the cause of highland fog.

And because of this we can suffer from health issues that would result severe in their future lives .

Every one wants to get relief from stress , but very few work on reducing stress . Let me tell you the fast & quick way to relive from your stress

MEDITATION IS THAT WAY !

If stress has you anxious, tense and worried, consider trying meditation. Spending even a few minutes in meditation can restore your calm and inner peace. Anyone can practice meditation. It’s simple and inexpensive, and it doesn’t require any special equipment. And you can practice meditation wherever you are — whether you’re out for a walk, riding the bus, waiting at the doctor’s office or even in the middle of a difficult business meeting, or while studying .

During meditation you have to be n full attention , close your eyes & should try to concentrate , it will work out best when you will do it with Chinese flute . It will fill your eyes , ears & mind with relaxation , & hence you will forget all your stress . Doing such meditation for just 10 mins in a day will fill you with energy & enthusiasm & also you will feel relief from your stress . Meditation can give you a sense of calm, peace and balance that can benefit both your emotional well-being and your overall health. And these benefits don’t end when your meditation session ends. Meditation can help carry you more calmly through your day and may help you manage symptoms of certain medical conditions. Meditation might also be useful if you have a medical condition, especially one that may be worsened by stress.

While a growing body of scientific research supports the health benefits of meditation, some researchers believe it’s not yet possible to draw conclusions about the possible benefits of meditation. With that in mind, some research suggests that meditation may help people manage symptoms of conditions such as: anxiety, asthma , cancer ,chronic pain , depression, high blood pressure , sleep problems , tension headaches , etc. Don’t let the thought of meditating the “right” way add to your stress. If you choose to, you can attend special meditation centers or group classes led by trained instructors. But you can also practice meditation easily on your own. And you can make meditation as formal or informal as you like, however it suits your lifestyle and situation. Some people build meditation into their daily routine. For example, they may start and end each day with an hour of meditation. But all you really need is a few minutes of quality time for meditation.

As we always says , ” its not the quantity but the quality that matters . Hence you should spend the quality time doing mediation , & give you body a boost instead of stress .

WHAT IS COCONUT WATER ?

Naturally occurring , coconut water has a sweet & nutty taste . Many people ask this question , how coconut is filled with water . Let me give you an answer of this , As the fresh water assimilated by the roots is conveyed right up to the crowns of the coconut palms through osmosis process, any dissolved salts which exist in the subterranean water automatically get eliminated through this natural filtration. Fresh water that gets accumulated in coconut is actually ‘endosperm’ or the food or nourishment for the coconut’s growth. Coconut water contains easily digested carbohydrates in the form of sugar and electrolytes. Not to be confused with high-fat coconut milk or oil, coconut water is a clear liquid in the fruit’s center that is tapped from young, green coconuts.

Professional tennis player John Isner credits coconut water with keeping him on his feet for his epic 11-hour marathon Wimbledon tennis win. “It is super hydrating and has kept me going in long matches and prevented me from cramping even in the hottest and most humid conditions,” he says. He drinks the mixture of coconut water & water before the night of the match & this helps him to get hydrated all day long in that match .

Sports nutritionist Nancy Clark, author of Nancy Clark’s Sports Nutrition Guidebook, says coconut water won’t rehydrate the body unless you can drink plenty of it. If you enjoy the taste and can tolerate large amounts, it could help keep you hydrated.

A 2007 study shows coconut water enhanced with sodium was as good as drinking a commercial sports drink for post-exercise rehydration with better fluid tolerance. Another study reported that coconut water caused less nausea, fullness, and stomach upset and was easier to consume in large amounts during rehydration. It is naturally occurring drink which will keep you hydrated all day long . In a study conducted, coconut water prevented crystals from sticking to the kidneys and other parts of the urinary tract. It also reduces the number of crystals formed in the urine. Researchers believe that coconut water helped reduce the production of free radicals that occurred in response to high oxalate levels in the urine. From nausea to kidney stones , coconut water has worked as a remedy for most of the health issues , so what are you waiting for ? Go and buy a coconut & enjoy the mother nature’s Sports drink .

Letting Go

Romeo and Juliet is probably one of the best known pieces of fiction in the world. Two lovers separated by family differences find each other only after death makes them meet in the world beyond.

What Are the Real Origins of Shakespeare's “Romeo and Juliet?” | by Julia  Rose Harmon | The Smartie Newsletter | Medium

Now, it is a very philosophical way of saying, but in life, sometimes, one must know how to give up. Giving up is not the part where one never tries but the part where one realizes that he or she or they are done trying – to their best. And it is not a sign of cowardice but a very healthy exercise when giving up is accompanied by letting go.

The American star Olympian Simone Biles announced her early return from the Tokyo Olympics citing mental health reasons, the most decorated Gymnast of all time was clearly being braver and more conscious of herself than the way in which many conservatives in her country tried to portray her. She knew that she could not perform if she could not keep calm and that would only make it worse for her – deep in her head. Let us not forget that she holds 32 medals combining World championships and Olympics. In the 2016 Olympics, she singlehandedly won 3 gold and 1 bronze medals and another gold medal in teams event. She, by no means lacks the resources to be the champion. But she understood her mind.

Biles smiling and waving

The process is difficult. One might argue that giving up is like admitting defeat. Admitting defeat in the face of a certain defeat is honesty! And although your mind requires some straining, it is up to you to decide to what extent can you strain the same.

Next time, when you are giving your best and after several attempts, it seems futile to continue, give it a thought. Should you or should you not continue.
