5 Interesting things you should know about South Korea

South Korea is like a dream country for all youngsters out there!! because of “K-pop” and specially “BTS”, every teenager girl wants to move South Korea. So here are the 5 most interesting things you should know about South Korea before moving.

1. Koreans never smell bad

Korean people lack a gene which produces smelly odour due to sweat. Hence they don’t smell bad at all even if they are sweat a sea. Don’t you think it’s amazing, after working all day, you are sweating like a sea but you won’t smell bad at all!!

2. Shutter sound while taking picture

You can’t turn off the shutter sound while taking picture. If you bought a smartphone from South Korea no matter what you do or how much you try but, you can’t turn off the shutter sound while taking pictures. This is for safety reasons, if someone is taking your picture secretly or without your permission then, this shutter sound will help you to know that someone is clicking your picture.

3. Your age

In Korea you are 1 or 2 years older that your actual present age. Koreans consider a year in the womb as counting towards their age, so everyone is one year old at birth. Everyone gets one year added to their Korean age on New Year’s Day.

Formula for calculating your Korean age = Current year + 1 – Birth year

4. Safety light spots

Whenever you feel unsafe while walking alone on streets of South korea don’t panic, you just have to stand on safety light spot positions which are under cctv observation 24/7 then, no one will dare to do anything to you. These safety light spots will monitor you continuously so no one can harm you and you will be safe until you call someone for help. Don’t you think this is the most coolest thing in South Korea!!

5. Don’t wear any cleavage-baring tops

Even if there are tops or blouses with cleavage, women take extra precaution generally when sitting, bending, and bowing. But in Korea if you wore a top with cleavage, you will have to face a negative comments because it’s consider sexual or too revealing.
For girls, don’t wear low cut shirts or expose your shoulders. This is considered very provocative. But wearing short skirts consider as cute.

Love or friendship

Love is an intense feeling towards someone but as a science student I call it just hormonal action.

Friendship is the purest love…

– osho

Friendship is the sweetest form of love. Try to find love and friendship both in same person.

It is an intense affection towards a person or thing. It maybe anything like if a person read the novel and their hobby is to read a novel. By doing this he or she is just forget everything what is happening in this whole world. They can do anything just to read the next part of the book. Their mood is depend on what is going on in that novel.

Like if a person attracted towards someone, then the person sacrifice their own happiness for them.

As parents sacrifice their happiness just for the sake of their child’s happiness. They do everything just to see a smile on our face. that

Mother’s and father’s love is very different as we see mother’s love everyday Like- how can she make good meals for us, she make us feel good when we at our worst.

If we need something we don’t directly go to the Dad, we just say that to the mom and as a postman mom deliver our messages to the Dad. And she convinces the dad for doing that.

Dad don’t show us that how much they love us, how much day care for us. But he do every single thing everyday just to give us some comfort.

I Remember one thing in when my mom was admitted to the hospital, my dad has a bicycle there was a little seat on its rod and where I used to sit and a seat is also on back of the bicycle where my brother was used to sit. Dad take us to the hospital by bicycle and we used to talk all over the way to the hospital and it is best my memory of life.

My Dad was dropping and picking me up after school is my best memories of school time.

Dad work all the day just for us. So that we spend time with mom. And that is another way of showing love.

Dad was always doing things for me we talked like friends. And also my mom behave like a friend to me. We always share our feelings, everything. Mom never judge me what I say. She always understands my intentions. She always wants me to do right. She motivates me.

Whenever I think of that time, Nostalgia hit me like a truck.

In today’s world everyone thought love is just only between two couples.

Love has no limitations. It may be started from a little child’s affection towards their toy to a various sacrifices of our parents.

Pure love has sacrifices, trust, affection, care, mutual understanding. There is no space for selfishness.

Friendship is very important in every single relationship.

If there is no friendship in between parent – student, teacher – student, 2 couples or every single relationship then that relationship has to end at last.

Like we observe the relationship between 2 best friends are unbroken. No matter what happens between them their bond always remains same.

So only love is not necessary for a relationship, friendship is more important.

In every relationship, love and friendship both is very important.

What Are The Five Love Language?

You might be showing affection to your partner on a daily basis, but do you take a moment to ensure that you’re conveying it in the manner that your spouse prefers to accept it? Whenever two couples have differing love languages, even love can be lost in translation.

Words of affirmation, quality time, receiving presents, acts of service, and physical contact are the five love languages, or means of expressing and receiving love. Not everybody expresses love in the same manner, and not everyone likes to accept love in the same way.

Gary Chapman, Ph.D., created the notion of love languages in his book The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Lasting Love, in which he explains these five distinct methods of conveying love, categories he condensed from his expertise in marriage therapy and linguistics.

Here’s a rundown of each one of Chapman’s five love languages:

Words of affirmation

Those who use words of affirmation as a love language appreciate verbal expressions of affection, such as constant “I love yous,” praises, expressions of gratitude, vocal support, and often constant digital contact such as messages and social media involvement. These individuals value written and verbal expressions of love the most. They feel understood and valued when they hear these words.

Quality time

Those who have quality time as their love language feel the most appreciated when their spouse genuinely wants to spend more time with them and is always willing to hang out. They are especially fond of it when active listening, eye contact, and complete presence are stressed as relationship characteristics. 

This love language is all about providing your entire focus to that one particular person, without any of the distractions of television, phone displays, or any other outside interference. Individuals have a great desire to constantly spend some time with their loved one, holding deep talks or participating in leisure pastimes.

Acts of services

If acts of service are your love language, you appreciate it whenever your spouse goes out of their way to make your life simpler. It’s little gestures like getting you food when you’re ill, preparing your morning coffee, or going to pick up your laundry after a hard day at work.

This is the love language of those who think that gestures speak louder than words. People on this list, unlike those who want to hear how much they are cared for, desire to be shown how they’re being cherished. Such people value doing minor and large duties to make their life simpler or perhaps more pleasant.

Gifts

Gifts are a simple love language: you feel appreciated when others offer you “visual expressions of affection,” as Chapman puts it. It’s not so much about the monetary worth as it is about the emotional significance behind the gift. Those with this personality appreciate as well as acknowledge the gift-giving process: the thorough contemplation, the intentional selection of the gift to symbolize the connection, and the emotional rewards of getting the gift.

Individuals whose language of love involves getting presents like obtaining something both tangible and meaningful. The idea is to offer thoughtful gifts that are significant to them and represent their beliefs, rather than yours.

Physical touch

Physical touch as a love language makes a person feel cherished when they receive physical indications of love such as kissing, holding hands, snuggling on the sofa, and intimacy. For persons who use this love language, physical closeness and touch may be extremely encouraging and serve as a powerful emotional bond.

When they are hugged, kissed, or snuggled, those who convey their thanks in this language feel valued. They enjoy the sensations of warmth and protection that come from physical contact.

We all show and experience love in various ways. As a result, recognising such differences may have a significant influence on our relationships. Indeed, it is one of the easiest methods to strengthen your relationships.

Do Love always give pain?

Everyone says that love hurts. Indeed , this saying is true. Loneliness hurts, rejection is a pain and losing someone is truly depressing.
In reality though, love is the only thing that could cover up all these suffering and make us feel whole again, but you’re scared to love again because you think it is going to hurt as you associate love with pain.

Not everything turns out beautiful

Not everything is supposed to become something beautiful and long lasting. Sometimes people come into your life to show you what is right and what is wrong, to show you who you can be, to teach you to love yourself, to make you feel better for a little while.
Not everyone is going to stay forever and we still have to keep on going.

We may feel we weren’t bad, it may just be our destiny or the bad timing we had.

MOVIE REVIEW – JERSEY

Jersey

A Movie that connects us to the storyline and has an impact on us will always remain close to our hearts. Jersey is one such kind of movie. The movie holds multivarious emotions encountered by a person. The character described is relatable to every middle-class soul who is sacrificing their dreams to comfort and take care of their family. Scene-by-scene narration is done well and the pain we feel gradually makes us feel that we are dragged into the story. Lighting, picturization and visual effects add beauty to the eyes of the beholder.

“Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you” – Oprah Winfrey.

The lead is full of liveliness while he is playing cricket. He moves forward with the dream of playing for the country leaving behind all the criticisms. His passion makes him energetic, self-confident, and strong. The lead lady is in love with the fire in his eyes. She is strong, independent and clear about her choices in life. Both of them have portrayed their role in the finest way. They both support and believe each other in every phases of their life.

“A perfect marriage is just two imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other “ – Kate Stewart.

Marriage is not about dependence on a man or love him based on his money. It’s about loving each other by the way they are. The detailing of their love in an undetailed way is such a bliss to watch. People believe that the intimacy of a relationship starts to fade away after marriage. In spite of his downfall, pain the hero never shows his vexation towards his partner. The heroine may seem lost in the midst of managing the family. But her emotions rekindle when she sees him pursuing his passion again.

“Fathe’s Love will always remain imprinted in the heart of a son”

A Mother’s affection teaches the child to be happy with what is present. A  Father’s affection can push limits of the boundary to satisfy their wishes and pursue the kid’s dreams. The relationship between a father and child is trivialized by society. A child accepts his father for who he is. His father is a hero no matter where he works and how much he earns. These emotions are excellently captured in Jersey. There is a scene where he is not able to afford his son’s wish. The pain in his eyes has personified the emotions in a realistic way.

“Where words fail, music speaks”

Music has a major contribution in bringing out emotions in a surreal manner. The pleasure of romance and triumph of victory are sublimely expressed through the songs. The background score at the points where the hero gets a second chance to pursue his dreams and screams at a local station, makes us realize his intense pain. The lyrics blend with the music and turns into a soothing experience. The movie is undoubtedly a magnum opus for everyone who worked in it.

Does anyone still believe in old school love?

When we read or listen to old love stories, we find that there were times when technology hadn’t suffocated the essence of love, the blue ticks didn’t exist, neither did facebook chats. Love was much more than putting up love struck captions for each other on our facebook display pictures or sending each other hearts and kisses on whatsapp. Lovers used to send each other letters from far off places, and the efforts they put into express their undying love was worth everything in the world.
Not to say that relationships today are shallow and ingenuine, but somewhere down the line we miss , infact we lost the so called “Old school love/romance.”

Does anyone still express their love through hand written letters, or social media had completely taken over the matter?

Does anyone still appreciate street food dates, or they only prefer famous restaurants?

Does anyone still gifts flowers and chocolates to their partners or giving expensive rings and gifts now seem better?

Does anyone still appreciate poetries, notes written expressing one’s feeling or Social media’s post now makes more meaning?

Does anyone still takes time to know each other before getting engaged or have complete faith that Tinder find the perfect match?

Does anyone still believe in old school love and romance, or the way of expressing love in our generation enhanced?

Green Lives Matter

We always get a positive vibe when we see plants around us. Growing plants on the balcony is a dream for many of us. We all love growing plants in our house, balcony, office, etc but very few of us know how to take care of it. It is very essential to give them proper time and care. Like humans even they need proper nutrition to go. Sunlight, water, soil, proper temperature are essential for them to live. Lack of nutrition may result in withering, yellowing of the leaves, stunted growth, etc.
To avoid these conditions in our plants one must provide them nutrition.

Things to keep in mind while growing a plant in your surrounding.

 • Research about the plant
Before growing a plant, one should study the plant and its needs. The need for sunlight, water, etc may differ from plant to plant. Provide them everything accordingly.

 •  Proper size of the pot
The size of the pot matters a lot in the growth of plants. Plants need an area to grow. Make sure the roots are not crowded and have proper space to spread and grow.

 • Perfect amount of sunlight
Sunlight is very essential for them to grow but all plants don’t need a lot of sunlight. The need for sunlight differs from plant to plant. For example, a snake plant can grow with very little sunlight whereas, a marigold plant needs a lot of sunlight.

 

• Providing water from time to time
The right amount of water should be provided to plants. Don’t water them a little or don’t water them too much. Study the need for water according to the plant you’re growing.

These are some most basic things to keep in mind before you grow any plant. Plants have life to and it is our responsibility to keep them healthy because we need them more than they need us.

This behavior may include repetitive body movements such as rocking, clapping, spinning and you can also notice obsessive attachment towards strange articles such as switches, boxes, rubber bands, etc.
There is no particular reason for this condition but genetics can be a reason for this condition.
After brain scans, it is seen that the shape and size of a brain in an autistic child is bigger as compared to a typical child.
They find it difficult to communicate and won’t be able to express their emotions to us too but that doesn’t mean they don’t feel any emotions.

Their way of loving and caring is unique in its own way and many would even fail to understand it.

STAGES OF A RELATIONSHIP:

Attraction :

Every couple experiences this phase. In this stage, you only focus on the good things and similarities between each other. You spend a lot of time together and imagine that you both are made for each other. You avoid fights, and it seems that fights will never happen.

Reality :

You start finding flaws in your partner. It doesn’t mean that you don’t love your partner, but things are not as beautiful as initially. You start fighting and doubting if you are really in love. The spark in the relationship seems declining.

Anger and stupidity :

You start getting angry because of little things. You know that fights can ruin your relationship, but at the end of the day, you fight anyway. And in this higher stage of a relationship, you think of stupidity like breaking up and leaving each other by blaming each other for no reason.

Acceptance :

You know you both are totally different persons, you both have other qualities and flaws, but you both accept each other. You realize that things can’t be run in a fantasy world for a lifetime there comes a time when you have to act with maturity.

Commitment :

With time you get to know each other completely. Your involvement in each other ripes up and brings a thought in your heart that you only need that particular person in your life. You fall in love with that person forever. And this is the most natural and honest thing in any relationship.

City of Dreams

Mumbai, what can I say about this city?
It’s a place where dreams are born and are converted into reality.
Staying in Mumbai is itself a dream for thousands of people but very few of them can make it here. Even after facing thousands of difficulties, one will always say, “we will adjust”. The city will challenge you in different ways and once you pass the test, you will never think of leaving it.
Every year thousands of people come to Mumbai with a suitcase full of clothes and eyes full of dreams. These dreamers constitute about 37% of Mumbai’s population.

Every Megacity has skyscrapers, mass transport, infrastructure. opportunities, same as Mumbai, Then what so special here?
It is special because it never stops working. Days and nights have no difference and the energy seen in the Mumbaikars is next level.

It’s where you will find people from every corner of the world.
And yet you may never lose yourself in the crowd.

It’s where you cross a road with orange Hindu flags hung up to walk into a Muslim community and Green flags hung while you walk into a Hindu community.
It’s a place where you shall find a beautiful church next to a gurudwara, or a mosque next to a temple.

It’s where you can enjoy the best, cheapest food; and how can one forget about the vada-pav and chai stalls which make the city complete.

Travel in a chock full bus filled with sweaty men and women. Then find it fun while swinging in it, and miss it when you leave. The “local railways” the lifeline of the city which commutes 3.7 million passengers every day.

Burn your wallets in top brand shops and in buying exotic products. Find the same things available on the road, with substantially good quality at a much cheaper price.

Want to fill that empty hole in your stomach even at midnight. And find food vendor’s around every corner of the street waiting for you.

Chillax on a beach, drive by the sea, enjoy the breeze, feel cold in winter, feel wet in monsoon, sweat the hell out in summer, and still enjoy it all.

Ask the next person for directions, and be surprised to find that person accompanying you to your destination,
Learn Marathi by just daily journeying around, speak Gujarati without knowing it with friends, hear some French, and experience one of the best English knowledge the world can offer.

Still, what can one say about it because it’s “Aamchi Mumbai”
