John Green’s the Fault in Our Stars was what won me over. He was different, fresh and knew how to put a new spin on books based on teenage life without landing them straight in the cliché category. His debut novel, looking for Alaska, is a showcase to the raw talent John Green has, the kind of talent that can make you close the crisp last page of a novel and come out as a different person. Looking for Alaska cannot be merely written off as a typical boy-meets-girl love story, because it isn’t. It’s more of a tale of how love isn’t as translucent as it seems. The beauty of the book is that it doesn’t hide anything. It showcases what young love and growing up really are in a brutal and honest light. How the characters communicate, their relationships with each other, their pasts and the pleasure that comes with being a bad kid shine through the pages. Why I prefer John Green’s debut novel to his other ones is because he’s made no effort to make it an appropriate and proper book. You might not weep buckets like most people did at the end of The Fault in Our Stars, but you’ll get attached to Miles and Alaska, just as they do to each other. Miles Halter or “Pudge” as he is referred to throughout the book, is the protagonist, and the book starts with Miles leaving Florida to attend a school in Alabama. He’s introduced by his roommates to beautiful, mysterious and emotionally confused Alaska Young, and the story progresses, mostly centred around Miles’ life at Culver Creek and his growing attachment to Alaska. There are also essential parts of teenage life thrown in casually and skilfully to the story, such as pranks, bets and disastrous parties. When adults say, “Teenagers think they are invincible” with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don’t know how right they are. We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.
Losing weight is one of the challenges nowadays. Everyone does try to lose fat not only to look good but also to stay fit and healthy. We try various ways to lose weight some works, some not. Moreover, the wrong diet and exercise can harm the body system, hormonal cycle, and more. So, let’s know about the best ways to lose weight in short.

Drink water
We know drinking water can help to glow skin as it removes all the impurities from the body. But it is also true that drinking 1-2 liter water can enhance the number of calorie burns, this is called resting expenditure. Moreover, if we drink cold water the rest calories become active to warm the water to match the temperature with our body. Drinking water before meals is also helpful, as it makes the stomach full and people eat less.
Eat dinner in time
We usually take dinner before or after 10 pm. But the ideal time to take dinner is 7 pm. Scientifically if we explain this we can end up with the best solution. Usually, a long gap between the meals is necessary to burn fat. If we eat at 7 pm. So there will be a gap of 13-14 hours between the second meal. In this meantime to keep our bodily organs work our body will insist fuel by burning fat and curbs depending on the situation. Eventually, we will lose weight.

It depends on the person who kind of exercise they choose according to their capability. They might choose walking, running, cycling over other exercise hacks.
Cut the sugar intake
Check the sugar intake to lose weight. Though sugar alone hasn’t that many calories the food which consists of sugar is an adversary to body health. As per the American Heart Association, women should take 24 grams of sugar and men 36 grams of sugar per day. A soft drink contains half of the sugar level we need in a day. Until you are consuming these daily, it is not harmful. According to the health experts, one does not need to cut sugar completely to lose weight but should keep a track of regular sugar intake.
Start having green tea
Green tea is one of the healthiest drinks we have. It has lots of substances along with antioxidants which helps our health to sound. Green tea increases the metabolic rate which helps to burn calories. Not only that it also contains caffeine which helps to higher the fat burn and increases the energy level. It is suggested to have green tea 2 to 3 times a day. Here just a few ways have been discussed. But the dedication, passion, and hard work are most important to succeed. The hacks lie within us, we just need to explore and treat it in a perfect way for a perfect life
Everyone reacts separately towards death. As we grow from innocence to maturity our understanding towards things evolves. Necrophbia refers to the fear of death or dead things. From childhood death is explained in some hypothetical way to all of us. Usually as we grow our attachments get intensity and a fear to lose the closest one starts to thread us. The fear can come from the near death experience, or some dead body or some dead pictures and so on. There are differences between fear. Some people get scared by dead bodies or dead things but some are not afraid of dead thing or skeletons but the dying process and mortality. Once they experience a dying process they can’t forget that and eventually it gives way to anxiety. The signs of Necriphobia are
Anxiety, headaches , vomiting, trembling after you see or hear something related to death
Sweating and mouth drying once you experience something related to death
Obsessiveness towards dead things
Fainting, nausea and fear to leave house
Difficulties after talking after you see dead things and so on
5 ways can help to get rid off fear of death
Spot and write down the situation that leads you to think of death
Most of the time when we get scared of something, we just feel scared rather then finding a way out. So, if we can spot which situations are exactly triggering us to think about death, it will be helpful to cure.
Start comparing your fear with the though of death
Some objects, emotion, situation influence is to think about death. It can be some food or some dress even some smell. For instance, a food dish can remind you the situation of your loved one’s death because the same food was served curing the funeral. The relation can be subtle but the thoughts are very strong.
Start knowing about the connection between anxiety and anticipation
Most of the time over thinking about something and treating something more dreadful that it actually is cause fear more than you imagine. If one starts looking beyond the fear and starts to face the fear rather escaping from it, can help to reduce the phobia
Accept yourself with reality
No one is mortal here. To keep the cycle running, everything has to end for a new beginning. Death is inevitable. So, you have to accept your life as a part of the cycle. Thinking about what if I die wouldn’t give you anything apart of anxiety and fear to face the reality. So, one should leave this unproductive thoughts.
Note down the unnecessary things giving you anxiety
There are many things which are certainly not related to death or your previous experience of death but still worrying you, note down those things and try to figure out the reality behind it .
Necrophbia is a fear that can be cured by continuous psychological therapy. Most of the time these all things gets neglected from the childhood and eventually takes a larger size and curves the psychological health. Taking help of professional someone, taking the help of spirituality, by having better understanding of death and life, this fear can be treated and cured. Otherwise this fear can develop and can pave way to other health issues like agoraphobia( fear of certain places), insomnia( fear of falling) and so on.

Bacteria can be classified into two different categories i.e. gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria. To differentiate the type of bacteria present in any collected sample there is a technique known as GRAM STAINING OR GRAM STAIN. It is sometimes also known as gram’s method. This technique is a different step process which can easily distinguish and classify between different types of bacteria. This was named after the great scientist Hans Christian Gram. Gram Staining method differentiates bacteria on the basis of their physical and chemical structure of cell wall. They are stained with different reagents and are observed in different colors when seen under the microscope. It is due to the fact that gram positive bacteria have a thick layer of peptidoglycan which allows it to retain the primary stain which is crystal violet and thus they appear purple whereas on the other hand, gram-positive bacteria have thin peptidoglycan cell wall and thus only retain the secondary or counter stain which is Safranin and thus they appear slightly pinkish when observed under microscope. Gram staining is the basic technique which is widely used in the microbiology labs to distinguish between both the types of bacteria. It provides a great help to microbiologists to perform their clinical tasks. If any infection is suspected in the patient then after the collection of sample, the gram staining is done and the type of bacteria is observed. Gram staining is completed in the various steps –
Fixation of clinical materials i.e. the sample collected are being fixed on the glass slide by first making a smear using water and then that smear is either heat fixed or methanol fixed. It is a first and a very important step. Methanol fixation was later discovered keeping in mind its advantage of not destroying the morphology of host cell, as well as bacteria present in that. It is majorly used for the testing of blood samples collected from patients.
Application of primary stain i.e. crystal violet. Primary stain means the first stain which is applied onto the fixed smear which stains all the calls purple or blue.
To distinguish the slide is then washed off in a gentle and indirect stream of water for 2 seconds which removes the extra stain that is not absorbed by the cells.
The next step involves the application of a mordant i.e. Iodine solution. This forms a complex with crystal violet due to which all the cells start appearing blue.
Again the slide is washed for 2 seconds to remove extra stain.
Addition of a decolorizing agent is the next step which will ultimately remove the excess stain which bacteria has not absorbed. The decolorizer contains the combination of acetone and alcohol. In this step, the gram positive bacteria continue appearing violet or blue in color whereas gram negative bacteria start appearing colorless.
Application of counter stain or secondary stain i.e. safranin is the next step. It should let remain on the slide for 30 second to 1 minute. This will stain all the colorless gram negative bacteria pink and gram positive bacteria remains blue in color.
Again the slide is washed off in a gentle stream of water.
The prepared stained slide is then observed under a microscope using immersion oil (for observing under 100x).
“Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second’s encounter with God and with eternity. “Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist I recently read “The Alchemist” again after procrastinating for a long time. I read it at a perfect time. The book is lovely and an inspirational masterpiece. Written by Brazilian author Paulo Coelho in 1988. It was initially written and published in Portuguese. It is an international bestseller and has been translated to more than 70 languages. The book is relatively short having around 167 pages only. The theme is about finding one’s destiny or purpose in life. The story is about a Shepherd boy from Spain whose name is Santiago. He keeps getting the same dream about treasures that are lying in the Pyramids of Egypt. He embarks on a journey to follow his dream after meeting an old king who offers him magic stones and advice. Santiago crosses the Mediterranean and Sahara to find his treasures in Egypt and also accomplish his personal legend which is his purpose in life. The book details his journey and the various encounters that he experiences when following his dream. Throughout the journey, Santiago meets many new people and a lot of difficulty which ultimately helps him to learn and grow the entire way. Does he find the treasures in the Pyramids of Egypt? The story is very enchanting and bursts with optimism which I think is very important in our lives. The book shows that the journey to your destiny is as important as the destiny itself. I love how the book emphasizes on the importance of faith, hope and spirituality through the story of an ordinary boy. I think this book appeals to everyone because we all have dreams and sometimes, we just want someone to tell us that they may come true. “One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.” Highly recommended 🙌 Happy reading!
This morning I was working on something for my college project and made an interesting metaphorical observation.
The cutting discs that are used on a rotary tool are very brittle. You can easily break them or snap them in two with your fingers. However, mounted on a spindle and spun at thousands of rotations per minute, those very same fragile discs can cut through steel.
This is similar to what happens to us, humans. We have our moments of weakness and we fall. But we should know and always remember that at times like these we may not be getting properly utilized. Subjected to the right conditions and determination, our true potential awaits us to realize it.
As you grow older, not realizing your true potential at the right time becomes one of your biggest regrets. That is why it is quintessential that you capitalize on the opportunity to self-actualize and be the best that you can be.
Self-introspect: Each one of us, either implicitly or explicitly, wants to have some meaning in our lives – to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. One way for this is to recognize what you are passionate about and follow that. This requires lots of self-introspection and brutal honesty with you. It is not necessary for your passion to earn you money; it just needs to be able to make you feel happy and fulfilled. Your passion could be as complex as painting on a canvass or as simple as sitting down and reading a book.
Say ‘no’: The society today is such where people have an intense fear of missing out (or FOMO, if you will). Saying ‘no’ is extremely underrated. But you need to realize that every time you say ‘yes’ to something that you don’t want, you are essentially saying ‘no’ to something that you do want. Learn to wisely say ‘no’ to the things which are not instrumental in reaching your true potential. After all, your time is very limited and you wouldn’t want to waste it on trivial things that don’t even make you happy.
Success is a process: People often glorify success, but they don’t see the blood and sweat from the endless hours of effort that is put in getting there. They miss out on recognizing the journey to reach the destination. Remember during your darker days that success is not an event; it is a process. Doing something every day helps more in achieving your goal than sporadic periods of work.
Know your weaknesses: In order to achieve the best version of you, know what your strengths and talents are, and use them to focus on your goal. But more importantly, know where your weaknesses lie. Always be on the lookout for areas where you can improve on. Be better than you were yesterday. This does not mean you shouldn’t be proud of yourself; it is saying you should never be stagnant.
Time is forever fleeting. Do not put off anything that you will regret later. The best time to start something was always yesterday. But the clock is still ticking; you are not out f time yet. The next best time is now. Now go out there and spin really fast, cutting through the steel while figuring out life along the way.
