People have chosen my family with their precious votes: Vikramaditya Singh tells Kangana
People have chosen my family with their precious votes: Vikramaditya Singh tells Kangana People have chosen my family by giving their precious votes, Congress' Mandi candidate Vikramaditya Singh said on Sunday as he came down heavily on his BJP rival Kangana Ranaut for accusing his family of ''sticking'' to the chair for a long time. Addressing a rally in Kullu, Vikramaditya Singh, son of six-time chief minister Virbhadra Singh said, ''The chair of the chief minister was given to his family by 70 lakh people of Himachal Pradesh who expressed their faith in his father.'' ''By making such remarks, she (Ranaut) is insulting the people of Himachal,'' Singh said, adding that only ten days are left for the Bollywood actor to pack up and return to Mumbai. Taking a dig at her Congress rival, Ranaut had on Friday said his family has been sticking to power for long. ''Tikkaji (Singh) is the face of the dynastic politics of the Congress, whereas the BJP is a party of commoners where a tea seller (Modi) becomes the prime minister and the son of a mason (Thakur) becomes a chief minister, she had said. During Sunday's rally, Singh also said that Ranaut tried to belittle the contribution of the country's former prime ministers including Atal Bihari Vajpayee and the state's former chief ministers with her remark about India getting Independence in 2014 only after Narendra Modi was voted to power. Singh added that Ranaut had no political vision apart from praising the current prime minister. Earlier, speaking to reporters after a public meeting in Manali, Singh said a drop has been noticed in the inflow of tourists to Kullu district after the summers and if elected as an MP, he will focus on promoting eco-tourism in the area. Therefore, a plan has been developed to promote eco-tourism in the area in order to maintain tourist footfall throughout the year, the state minister added. Hitting out at Ranaut, Singh said, ''I request former chief minister Jai Ram Thakur to and teach her so that she can know what work has been done in Mandi by the Congress-led government at the Centre.'' In one of her election rallies, Ranaut had asked what Singh's family did for Mandi despite representing the constituency several times in the Parliament. The Congress leader said the scheme of 24-hour drinking water supply in Kullu and Manali, establishment of IIT Mandi and construction of Medical College in Ner Chowk were done during the Congress regime. ''Apart from this, there are many such schemes about which Kangana Ranaut knows nothing. She just keeps making baseless statements and has no idea about the developmental works undertaken at the grassroots level,'' the Himachal Pradesh PWD minister added. Vikramaditya Singh, the two-time MLA from the Shimla (rural) Assembly segment, is the titular king of the erstwhile princely state of Bushahr. He is the son of Mandi sitting MP Pratibha Singh, who is representing the constituency for the third time in the parliament. His father Virbhadra Singh was also a three-time MP form the same seat. The Mandi parliamentary seat, which goes to polls on June 1 in the last phase of the Lok Sabha elections, is spread over six districts comprises 17 assembly segments, eight of which are reserved for Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled castes.
Eco-tourism promotion my top priority for Mandi: Congress nominee Vikramaditya Singh
Eco-tourism promotion my top priority for Mandi: Congress nominee Vikramaditya Singh Congress' Mandi candidate Vikramaditya Singh on Sunday said if elected as an MP, he will focus on promoting eco-tourism in the area.

Therefore, a plan has been developed to promote eco-tourism in the area in order to maintain tourist footfall throughout the year, the state minister added. The Congress has pitted Singh against BJP candidate and actor Kangana Ranaut. Hitting out at Ranaut, Singh said, ''I request former chief minister Jai Ram Thakur to and teach her so that she can know what work has been done in Mandi by the Congress-led government at the Centre.'' In one of her election rallies, Ranaut had asked what Singh's family did for Mandi despite representing the constituency several times in the Parliament.

Road trip to Leh in a decade-old Maruti Dzire: Covered 6300 km in total
BHPian unoczar recently shared this with other enthusiasts.1.7.22The idea for such an audacious trip was conceived about 10 years ago. Or more, I don't really remember. This was the time when a certain juggernaut named Tanveer Singh was rolling all over the Himachal and much further north. Much further than a sane mind can imagine. His white elephant and its tarp-covered front end still haunt me to this day, thinking about what would I do if I were in such a position. And we are not even talking about the camps he set up in the middle of nowhere and that too in temperatures where we could make igloos. In 2014, I bought a new Royal Enfield Electra with the thought that I would ride it to the northmost road in India. Thoughts that remain only thoughts and never made their way into reality. Currently, I own a Swift Dzire 2014 which has been a solid companion through numerous trips. Never did it give me any trouble. But still, the thought of taking this compact sedan to the unforgiving terrain of Ladakh never came to my mind. I've been following the Ultimate Guide religiously and reading about Ladakh whenever I find free time. I've read uncountable travelogues of 2 wheelers and 4, YouTube videos - don't even ask!Jump to 2022, I've seen enough travelogues with people doing the circuit in smaller cars to muster the strength to plan a trip and planning I have started. Somewhere I read, The best car to do this trip is the car in your Garage. That was enough motivation for me. If you're thinking that the trip is done, you're wrong. I'm still a month away from the start date and thought of starting this log anyway. Will it be this time?13.7.22Initially, the start date was August 27. It has now been pushed to September 16 owing to leaves and stuff. Planning for the trip is currently on hold as we're yet to finalize the dates. I'm already worried as it would be colder when compared to the earlier dates. This was what my initial itinerary looked like. This will be changed and it is currently WIP. 22.7.22Everywhere I've read about this kind of trip - They all say one thing. Preparation! So with the limited resources I have, I've started the preparation. Mentally and theoretically, I've been preparing for this for years. But physically, the preparations started a few weeks ago. Can one prepare enough for this kind of trip? 18.8.22Exactly a month to go for the trip and today is an important day. Why? Today is the day I spoke to my manager at the office and got the leaves approved. It's a big step indeed. Now to speak to my kid's teacher (which wifey already did) about the days of our trip and the classes he might miss. He actually has an Autumn break in the second half of September which was also the reason for the postponement. Also, the wife has to finalize leaves at her office. But, today the trip seems to be materializing and it has pumped in some excitement to the rather mundane days that are passing by currently. Wish I could go now, but wishes are wishes and reality is almost always different. It is this almost that keeps us going, doesn't it? 8/9/22The trip almost died during the last few days cause my mother is not keeping well. I had almost made up my mind to cancel/postpone it AGAIN! And suddenly a few days ago she says... Don't cancel your trip. It sounded like 'Jaa, jee le apni zindagi'. I was like, are you sure? And she said yes! Yes! It might happen finally. So, the day before yesterday I made a hotel booking for our day 1 of the trip. Hotel on NH44 bypass in Sagar, MP. I'm not making any other bookings due to the unpredictable nature of the trip. Everything will be done on the way. Yesterday, got my car serviced. Engine oil replaced, oil filter replaced, fuel filter replaced, tyres checked, battery checked, lights checked, gear oil, brake oil checked, coolant top up. Other things were inspected and look good to go. Brake pads are at 90% and my mechanic friend says so we're good there too. Air filter only cleaned. I'll put a new one in probably Srinagar or Leh. So, final preparations left and off we go. Start date is fixed at 17 Sep. I'm a bit worried about all the rain around us. How's it gonna be in the hills? Time only will tell. Finally the route plan is finalized just a week before the trip. Here it is: This is something I've learned on this trip. YES! We finally did it! The biggest doubt I had before the trip was that if my car would make it. Well, it did, kind of. I'll tell all about it in the log. If I say that we breezed through all the terrain, I would be lying. Even the Innovas and Scorpios were struggling, such is the challenge posed by the hills. Let me quickly delve into penning down my experiences here - I would like to first write briefly about some things and then we'll get into the daily log. So please bear with me and I do apologise for the picture quality. The DSLR I took along for the trip - its battery gave up as soon as we reached Leh. So we used our good old smartphones for the clicking. True that! We experienced a lot of things on this trip. From around two to three hundred metres above sea level, we went to about five thousand metres above sea level! We saw summer, we experienced snowfall, we were drenched in rain and we also shuddered up in the cold! If we talk about roads, we got the smoothest of tarmacs to the most rugged off-road tracks I've ever seen. The car Did not click many pictures of the battered beast but this will have to do. I have to say it exceeded my expectations. Numerous times, I felt that it would give up. Either the engine will fail or the tyres or any of the hundreds of tiny things that are being attacked by the unforgiving roads. But nothing happened! We did not even have to fill air into the tyres up until we were on our way back near Manali! All throughout I was cursing myself for putting her through this, but after every challenge, every steep climb, every water crossing, every stone crossing, it came out with flying colours. Before this trip, I had thoughts of selling this 8-year-old beauty and buying a bigger one. But now I'm at peace with the car, I feel like I'm a part of it when I'm at the wheel and the thoughts of selling are just thoughts now which are away from me. Far away! She will stay with me for as long as possible and I vow to take good care of it. It still gives me around 24-25KMPL on the highway - what more can I ask?The CompanionsAccompanying me on this trip - my wife and my 8-year-old son. My son, Abdullah was excited at first but soon after experiencing the mountains, he said to me - The mountains keep calling, but I must never go! But kudos to my wife, she was a pillar of support throughout! She encouraged me when I was down. I almost gave up twice during this trip, but she egged me on. She helped me through each difficult water/rocky crossing. Even though breathing was difficult, she got down every time and guided me through it. She was like Sam from LOTR, I can't carry it, but I can carry you! She's so afraid of driving in the mountains and I did 99% of the driving but she was never afraid to get down in the cold and tough conditions to guide us through!The RoadsWe got the best roads in the world, we got the worst roads in the world. We got no roads and we got watered roads and sharp stone roads. We went through mud and sand and slush and rocks. You name it, you got it. I said to my family that this trip would be a trip of a lifetime and you couldn't ask for more when it comes to all the types of terrain we saw.The WeatherStarted cloudy near home and ended cloudy. Between that, we faced hot humid weather, bone-chilling winds, rain, snow everything. This is the beauty of this country, it has everything!The KashmirisI cannot even start to imagine what it is like to be a Kashmiri and to be bang right in the middle of a conflict that has gone on. But one thing I did not like - they love to argue, they just won't give up on anything. I'm sure many have experienced this. The Shikara wala will argue with you, the hotel manager will argue with you, and even the auto wala will argue. They just won't stop talking. Of course, I met many nice people and the old folks I spoke to say that the situation is fine now and more peaceful than it ever was. The youth, however, is a different story.The LadakhisThese people are out of this world. The nicest warmest people I've seen or met. Of course, there are bad apples and many cabbies there, but the normal Ladakhi does not discriminate. They will be nice to you and they are not affected by the outside world. There's something about that place that calms you down probably.The FoodWe carried ready-to-eat stuff, we carried cup noodles, oats, biscuits, chips, dry fruits etc. Only needed a few things out of those on rare occasions. You get normal food almost everywhere now. We usually ate at roadside dhabas and focussed on freshly cooked dal, roti and rice. Only in Srinagar, Leh and Delhi, we indulge in local delicacies and the rest of the time we stick to basics. Of course, basics include Fruits, Lays and chewing gum. Yes, chewing gum, it helps keep your teeth clean, helps you stay focussed and doesn't let you munch unnecessarily. Water, we carried a steel bottle each and filled it up at every RO or similar we found. We even filled them at all rivers we could reach and all waterfalls/streams we could touch. But on a few occasions, we had to buy mineral water when there was no option. In Hunder, we had Nala water, that's what they call the stream of pure natural water!The Things we carriedWe did not take too much of the stuff that's recommended online for Ladakh. We stuck to basics, plus some extra stuff. We carried a puncture repair kit (untouched to this day), 12V air compressor from Woscher (not used on the trip), extra coolant, brake oil, spare tyre, jack etc. Coolant and brake oil we used on several occasions just to top up. No jerry cans, never felt short of fuel, the reason being the economy of the Dzire. We carried zip ties and one of them was used on day 1, more on that later. Plus we had our regular stuff - some normal summer clothes, body warmers, jackets, warm caps and gloves. Enough for this time of the year even in snowing conditions. Then we had our med kit, full of stuff and I had a torch, a hunting knife and a Swiss army knife. My 10-year-old (maybe more) leather gloves were handy while driving in sub-zero temperatures. The woollen ones would probably not give much of a grip. We always carried enough cash to last us at least a couple of days, but we almost always paid online. I can't remember a place where they didn't accept online or card payments. One thing I regretted (only till I found a solution) was that I did not take a postpaid connection. Faced a little difficulty for a day but soon after bought a local Jio SIM and it worked even in Shyok River, LOL! With those things out of the way, let's get down to the Daily log. Some statistics first -Dates - 17/9/22 - 4/10/22Odo - 76240KM - 82613KMTotal KMS on trip - 6373KMDiesel spent - Rs.25446Cheapest Diesel at a pump - Rs.81.xx - Swarghat, HP. Actual cheapest diesel Rs.80 at Whisky Nala tent shop. (more on this later)Dearest Diesel - Rs.99.xx - Nizamabad, TSAverage for the trip - 23.02 KMPL - lowest - 18.3 Hunder to Karu via Pangong. highest - 25.5 Delhi to MPTotal Toll - Rs.7350Underbody hits - 500 or 1000 don't really remember! Apparently, there's an engine cover plate to protect the engine underneath the car. That plate lost a screw and was hanging by one screw, got this fixed in Manali. The mechanic said that if that plate had fallen off, you could have been stranded in the middle of nowhere! eek! Day 1 - 17/9/22Start - 6 amToday's destination - Sagar, MP912KMPreparations were ongoing and quite hectic in the few days preceding the Go day. Car was loaded with fuel our bags and stuff the previous day. We just had to get up and go. I was so tired on Friday itself that I called in sick to work and had no energy even to be nervous. Slept early, got up early and actually we would have started by around 5.15-5.30 but Madam Dearest was a bit busy with something and we finally started around 6 am. Everything went well until we bypassed Nagpur and entered the Pench National Park area. There was a storm warning and we were caught right up in it. Visibility was very poor, it was that bad and suddenly the new Bosch wiper blades I got installed gave way. The right side one broke off or whatever and was dangling up and down and up and down. I looked at my wife and she looked back at me. Is this the beginning of something bad? Visibility was zero now and I had to get out, get wet in the torrential downpour and fix it. Yay! It's fixed, we go on and suddenly it happens again. Why?! Again I pull over and try to fix it, this time wife helps and we're both wet, it stays and we get out of the rain area. As soon as it is dry outside, I pull over again in hopes of fixing it well. Something seems broken as it is not how it's supposed to be. Suddenly, a Eureka moment and I asked my wife to bring out a zip tie we had in the trunk. Quickly, she gets it and I tie it into one of the holes and it's set. She then takes out the scissors we're carrying the cuts of the hanging bit. All set! I say to her - Ab ye naya jab hi lagega jab ye zip tie fail hoga! She smiles, and till this day it's like that. Did not fall or break, all through the hills and back! Magic! After that, it was uneventful and we negotiated some bad roads of MH and a tiny bit in MP and we reached our hotel in Sagar. Hotel Kuber Vatika, big huge place with decent rooms. As soon as I reach the desk -Sir aapne 2 adults ki booking ki hai.Toh aur kya, hum do hi hai.Sir child bhi likhna tha.Bhai, chota bachha hai aur bahut thake huye hai. Kal baat karte hai.Ok sir.He wanted me to pay something extra, not online, but in cash. I waved it off and went to crash. Let's see in the morning.Day 2 - 18/9/22Start 7.25amToday's destination - Sonipat, HR745KMToday we were not in any hurry to start. Took our own sweet time to get ready and start our day. There was only one guy at the reception in the morning. Again he tried to bring up last night's topic, I calmly said that we did not take an extra mattress and we're not paying you anything extra. Bye! Navigating through the cattle we made our way to another Dhaba for some local parathas and Poha. The day after that was mostly uneventful except for how to reach and cross Delhi. My plan was to take the Mathura road (less toll and more fun to drive), but as per Google baba both the Mathura road and YEW have exact same toll. On top of that, it also said that YEW and EPE will be faster. I wanted to avoid UP roads cause of obvious reasons but then seeing the current scenario I thought why should I spend an equal amount and take the NH? I went on towards the Yamuna Expressway. Google baba played a trick on us here, we had to go through a couple of villages as that seemed to be the only road to reach the YEW. That spoiled our moods a bit, but we were soon on the YEW and reached Noida by evening. Then onto the EPE for Sonipat and we were there by around 8.30pm. Again we had problems with our hotel reservation which we made on the way. On reaching this place, we were told that he had no tie ups with anything online. Called up goibibo and asked about this, and they said we'll fix you up with an alternative hotel which turned out to be better than what we had booked. So, on our second night, we stayed in Fair Vacanze, a little south of Murthal. Looks like our luck with our hotel booking is not turning out so good. But wait till you read what happened next!Day 3 - 19/9/22Start 8.30amToday's destination - Jammu, J&K550KMAfter last night's gadbad, we were in no mood to start early. And anyways, we just had to cover 500 odd KMs today. Road from Sonipat onwards is smooth all the way to when you enter J&K. We missed this ramp (9Q9X+89Q) and went towards Chandigarh but then took a left further on to meet the correct road. Same thing happened on our way back and we again went into Chandigarh and lost about an hour. I have no idea how is this possible. Anyways, a smooth drive till Pathankot and the scenery also changed a bit. Now, we stopped at a fuel station and thought to book our hotel for the night. So, I told my wife to book a good hotel so that we wouldn't have problems like we had previously. So we checked on Google etc and booked the Grand Hill in Jammu. Navigated to that place which is atop a hill on the highway we were supposed to take the next day. Hoping for the best, we reach and I go into the place and ask the first person I see -Hi, where's the hotel, we have a reservation online.What hotel sir? This is a restaurant.What? we made this booking see (I show him the voucher)*smiles* this is Grand Hill, your booking is for The Grand Hill, it is 5KM in the reverse direction.We made a mistake by seeing 'Grand Hill' on Google and then booking 'The Grand Hill' on ibibo. *facepalm* Now, since we entered J&K, there was no network on any of our SIMs. Already regretting the idea of skipping the postpaid connection. I applied for it and rejected it at the last moment, thinking 'Jo hoga dekha jayega'. We had offline maps for J&K and Ladakh, so I thought we should be good. Frustrated, we go back thinking, Oh no! Not again! But we had no idea that bad luck with hotels is going to get worse. We reach The Grand Hill, a not-so-good hotel like we saw online. So we're tired and try to check in anyway. The man at the reception drops a bomb on us by saying -Ye kab book kiya aapne?Aaj hi - dopahar mei.Oh sorry sir. We already gave that room to another person.What? How can you take a booking without having the rooms?Sorry sir. But we have another room I can give you which has a single bed. I'll throw in extra mattress and dinner for free.I was like whatever now, just get over with it and we eat the food and go off to sleep. At least the AC was working and Jammu weather at the time was hot and humid like Delhi. Phew!Day 4 - 20/9/22Start 8.00amToday's destination - Srinagar, J&K550KMSo, we get up and get ready to leave. Breakfast was added to the booking and upon enquiry he says Abhi Time lagega. I was like we cannot wait because of all the cut-off times and stuff and we leave. It's time to negotiate our way through the Nagrota check post where absolutely no one stopped us or checked anything. Last night we felt the discomfort of not being able to use the mobile phones and were looking for an alternative. Upon enquiry, I found out that if we buy a prepaid SIM in J&K, it will work here and in Ladakh. So I planned to buy one as soon as we enter Srinagar. Some good luck with that and we found a Jio check post right after we exited one of the tunnels. Purchased a SIM for 300/- and it worked just fine for the rest of our trip. Spent 15-20 minutes there and got it activated and called mom too! Easy peasy! Reached Srinagar by 4pm after seeing thousands of trucks lined up for the cut-off times trying to go down and having authentic wazwan cuisine for lunch just before entering Srinagar. On the way, we also visited a bat factory and spoke to locals. Shopped for some walnuts and saffron too! Through the tunnels Stopped for army convoy coming from the other side - 30 minutes! Buried! One thing was beginning to dawn upon me - You cannot mess with the cabs here in J&K (or Ladakh for that matter). You must let them go as soon as they show up in the RVM or honk. They will just not stay behind you (read out-of-state vehicle). We checked in to Hotel Curio's at Srinagar. Decent property and a nice clean place. But again we had trouble with the booking. After a long discussion with the manager, we were settled in to the room without extra charges. He was initially giving us a double occupancy room (but we had a booking for 3 people) and then relented and gave us a triple room. In the evening, we made a round of the Dal Lake and had some snacks at Makai Point and another one near Nishat Gardens. After that we called it a night.Day 5 - 21/9/22Rest day Today was basically a rest day and I intended to wander around Srinagar. So, in the morning we set off towards Gulmarg hoping to do a Gondola ride. Little did we know what was in store for us. Started early morning and grabbed a few bananas on our way to Gulmarg. As soon as we neared the first check post before the climb started, we were hounded by a group of guides (read thugs). I said NO straightforward! I wasn't entertaining them even for a second. Then an old man from their group pleaded with me to listen.Saab ji, aapne 50 rupay yaha entry ke dene hai aur 300 rupay wapas aane pe300 rupay kis cheez ke chacha?Ham aapko ghumayenge, points batayenge, jaha koi rokega hum dekh lenge.I said nothing doing and moved on and paid the Rs.50 for entry and went on for a toilet stop. They even reached their in their Alto and again started to irritate me. The old man was pleading again that this is their only source of income, and if you're not satisfied, do not pay a single rupee. He even said that he'd take us in his Alto instead of the ponies towards the Gondola ride. I said OK and started to follow them. After reaching the top, they shamelessly hand us over to the ponies group and basically, this whole game was to extort money out of us. I had made up my mind not to shell out a single rupee. We moved away from the groups and had breakfast, parathas and tea. Even the shopkeeper was empathetic towards us and said that these guys are like this only. After all the commotion, we were in no mood for any rides and we wandered around the place and turned back. My wife was saying they'll hassle us on the way back and to pay them. I told her sternly in front of them. Ek rupaya bhi nahi dunga mai! That episode done, we made our way back down disappointed and stopped at an Apple orchard and gave the car a much needed wash. Then we headed back towards Srinagar for lunch. I had heard about a place called Chopstick and we went there. Amazing small little place, serves an amazing soup as a welcome thing for free! I had 2 cups! Then we had momos, noodles and their famous Shafali (paratha type with kheema filling). The place is located in a small Muslim Tibetan colony. Full stomachs and after meeting their owner, we said goodbye with a smile on our faces. Then we made our way back to our hotel and I needed to do some things on the car. Luckily behind our hotel were some mechanic shops and I asked them to change the Air Filter (which was pending from earlier) and check other things. All good and we're good to go towards Ladakh. It was late afternoon now and we really needed to relax in a Shikara. Yes! Walked out on towards the road and grabbed an auto rickshaw and let the car rest in the hotel. Reached Dal Lake and again the same story with the Shikara people. Bargaining on the price for the ride. Settled on Rs.1500 for 2 hours ride and had the most amazing time in the lake. The old man who was rowing us was a very gentle and nice chap. Singing traditional kashmiri songs he told us about how the Char Chinar are now just one or two Chinar after the 2014 floods and how the Prince sometimes comes to the palace in the Lake. How the locals farm on the fields inside the lake and live there itself. I never thought all of that was possible in the middle of a lake!? There was even a masjid in the lake apart from a full-fledged market and not to mention - Houseboats. A whole lot of them. After the ride, we paid them happily and made our way towards Lal Chowk for some woman's satisfaction (shopping) and just to stroll about. Done that, we walked back towards our hotel and had dinner at the hotel and retired for the day. The trip is actually going to start tomorrow, yes, we shall enter Ladakh and we need to get up early and encounter mountain passes and whatnot. Excited and tired, we go to sleep! Big day tomorrow as I have never crossed a mountain pass before and I'm nervous. Continue reading unoczar's road trip experience for BHPian comments, insights and more information.

Do children watch wrong content on their phones? Turn it off immediately with this one setting
In today's digital age, children have unprecedented access to a vast array of content through their smartphones. While this can be a great tool for learning and entertainment, it also poses risks, as children may inadvertently come across inappropriate or harmful content. Fortunately, there's a simple solution to mitigate this risk: parental controls. The Pervasive Presence of Digital Devices It's no secret that smartphones have become ubiquitous in our society, with children often getting their hands on them at increasingly younger ages. From educational apps to social media platforms, there's no shortage of content available at their fingertips. However, this easy access also means that children can stumble upon content that is not suitable for their age or maturity level. The Dangers of Inappropriate Content Exposure to inappropriate content can have serious consequences for children. It can shape their perceptions, influence their behavior, and even lead to emotional distress. Moreover, certain types of content, such as violent or sexually explicit material, can be particularly harmful to young minds. The Importance of Parental Controls Parental controls are a valuable tool for safeguarding children against exposure to inappropriate content on their phones. By setting up these controls, parents can restrict access to certain websites, apps, or content categories that they deem unsuitable for their children. This provides peace of mind for parents and ensures that children can safely explore the digital world. How to Activate Parental Controls Activating parental controls on your child's phone is a straightforward process that can be done through the device's settings. Most smartphones offer built-in parental control features that allow parents to: 1. Limit App Usage: Set time limits for specific apps to prevent excessive screen time. 2. Filter Web Content: Block access to websites with adult or mature content. 3. Restrict In-App Purchases: Prevent unauthorized purchases within apps and games. 4. Monitor Activity: Keep track of your child's online activity and usage patterns. Empowering Parents with Knowledge In addition to setting up parental controls, it's essential for parents to have open and ongoing conversations with their children about responsible digital behavior. By educating children about the potential dangers of inappropriate content and teaching them how to navigate the online world safely, parents can empower them to make informed choices and protect themselves from harm. Conclusion: Keeping Children Safe Online In conclusion, while smartphones offer numerous benefits for children, they also present risks in the form of exposure to inappropriate content. By activating parental controls and fostering open communication with their children, parents can create a safe and secure online environment where children can explore and learn without encountering harmful content.

Is your partner cheating? Identify with these signs
Infidelity can be a painful experience in any relationship. If you suspect your partner of cheating, it's crucial to look out for signs that may indicate their unfaithfulness. While no single behavior guarantees infidelity, a combination of these signs might raise red flags. Sudden Change in Routine One of the most common signs of infidelity is a sudden change in your partner's routine. This could include working late frequently, making unexplained trips, or spending more time away from home without a valid reason. Lack of Communication If your partner becomes secretive about their phone calls, texts, or emails, it could be a sign of cheating. They may also avoid discussing certain topics or become defensive when questioned about their whereabouts. Emotional Distance Infidelity often leads to emotional disconnection in a relationship. Your partner may seem distant, uninterested in spending time with you, or unwilling to engage in meaningful conversations. H4: Unexplained Expenses Another sign to watch out for is unexplained expenses. Your partner may start spending money on gifts, hotel rooms, or dinners out without a reasonable explanation. Changes in Appearance When someone is cheating, they often make an effort to improve their appearance to impress their new partner. Your partner may suddenly start dressing differently, hitting the gym more frequently, or paying more attention to their grooming habits. Decreased Intimacy A decrease in physical intimacy can be a sign of infidelity. If your partner shows little interest in being intimate with you or seems disengaged during intimate moments, it could indicate that they are getting their needs met elsewhere. Defensive Behavior Cheating partners may become defensive when questioned about their behavior or whereabouts. They may overreact to innocent inquiries or try to deflect blame onto you to avoid discussing the issue. Gut Feeling Sometimes, your intuition can be a powerful indicator of infidelity. If you have a gut feeling that something is not right in your relationship, it's essential to trust your instincts and investigate further. Changes in Social Circle A cheating partner may start spending more time with new friends or coworkers. They may also become secretive about their social plans or hesitant to introduce you to their new acquaintances. Lack of Trust Infidelity can erode trust in a relationship. If you find yourself constantly questioning your partner's honesty or feeling paranoid about their actions, it may be a sign that they are being unfaithful. Blame Shifting Cheating partners often try to shift the blame onto their significant other to justify their actions. They may accuse you of being too controlling, insecure, or neglectful to deflect attention away from their infidelity. Changes in Sleep Patterns If your partner's sleep patterns suddenly change, it could be a sign of infidelity. They may stay up late texting or talking to their lover, or they may come home at odd hours, disrupting your sleep routine. Lack of Interest in Future Plans A cheating partner may lose interest in making plans for the future with you. They may avoid discussing long-term goals or commitments, indicating that they see their future without you in it. Secrecy About Technology If your partner suddenly becomes secretive about their devices, such as password protecting their phone or clearing their browser history, it could be a sign that they are hiding something from you. Changes in Sexual Behavior Infidelity can lead to changes in sexual behavior within a relationship. Your partner may show a sudden increase or decrease in sexual desire, or they may introduce new techniques or preferences that they learned from someone else. Gaslighting Gaslighting is a manipulative tactic used by cheating partners to make their significant other doubt their own perceptions and sanity. They may deny or minimize their actions, making you feel like you're overreacting or imagining things. Lack of Remorse If your partner shows little to no remorse for their actions when confronted about infidelity, it may indicate that they have checked out of the relationship emotionally and are not invested in repairing the damage they've caused. If you notice any of these signs in your relationship, it's essential to address them openly and honestly with your partner. While none of these behaviors conclusively prove infidelity, they may indicate underlying issues that need to be addressed for the health of your relationship. Leave Shimla-Manali!

Weather Conditions The weather in the Himalayas can be unpredictable, with temperatures fluctuating rapidly. Pilgrims must be prepared to face cold weather conditions, including snowfall and rainfall, by packing appropriate clothing and gear. Choosing the Route There are various routes to reach the Amarnath Cave, each offering a unique experience. Pilgrims can choose between the traditional Pahalgam route, the shorter Baltal route, or the helicopter service for a quicker journey. Pahalgam Route The Pahalgam route is known for its scenic beauty, passing through picturesque valleys and dense forests. It is ideal for pilgrims who prefer a leisurely trek amidst nature's splendor. Baltal Route The Baltal route is shorter and more challenging, suitable for experienced trekkers seeking an adrenaline-filled adventure. This route offers breathtaking views but requires stamina and endurance to navigate its steep inclines. Helicopter Service For those with time constraints or physical limitations, the helicopter service provides a convenient option to reach the Amarnath Cave quickly. However, availability is limited, and booking in advance is advisable. Safety Measures Ensuring the safety and well-being of pilgrims is paramount during the Amarnath Yatra. Here are some safety measures to keep in mind: Acclimatization Proper acclimatization is essential to prevent altitude sickness and other health complications. Pilgrims should spend a few days at base camps to allow their bodies to adjust to the high altitude. Following Guidelines Adhering to the guidelines and instructions provided by the authorities is crucial for a safe journey. Pilgrims should stay on designated paths, avoid overcrowding, and cooperate with security personnel at all times. Emergency Preparedness Being prepared for emergencies is imperative when undertaking a pilgrimage in remote areas. Pilgrims should carry emergency contact numbers, medical supplies, and stay informed about evacuation procedures. Spiritual Experience Beyond the physical challenges, the Amarnath Yatra offers a profound spiritual experience for pilgrims. The serene surroundings and the divine presence of Lord Shiva create an atmosphere of peace and introspection. Meditation and Prayer Many pilgrims engage in meditation and prayer during the journey, seeking spiritual enlightenment and divine blessings. The tranquil ambiance of the Himalayas provides an ideal setting for introspection and communion with the divine. Rituals at the Cave Upon reaching the Amarnath Cave, pilgrims participate in various rituals and prayers to pay homage to Lord Shiva. The sight of the ice lingam evokes a sense of awe and reverence, deepening the spiritual connection with the divine.Embarking on the Amarnath Yatra is a sacred journey that requires meticulous planning, physical preparation, and spiritual devotion. By keeping these essential aspects in mind, pilgrims can ensure a safe, fulfilling, and spiritually enriching experience amidst the majestic Himalayas. Leave Shimla-Manali!

Do not store these fruits in the fridge even by mistake
When it comes to preserving fruits, many of us instinctively reach for the fridge as the go-to storage solution. However, not all fruits thrive in the chilly confines of the refrigerator. In fact, some fruits suffer significant flavor loss, texture alterations, or even accelerated spoilage when subjected to cold temperatures. Let's delve into the fruits that should never be refrigerated, ensuring they retain their optimal taste and quality. H1: Bananas: Nature's Perfect Snack Bananas are a staple in many households, beloved for their natural sweetness and convenience. However, refrigerating them can cause their peels to darken prematurely. This occurs due to the cold hindering the enzymatic processes responsible for maintaining the vibrant yellow hue of the peel. Additionally, the cold temperatures can disrupt the ripening process, leading to a duller flavor and mushier texture. Tomatoes: Versatile and Vibrant Tomatoes are a kitchen essential, whether sliced on sandwiches, diced in salads, or simmered into sauces. Surprisingly, refrigeration can compromise their taste and texture. The cold temperatures can cause the flesh to become mealy and the flavor to dull as the natural sugars are disrupted. Instead, store tomatoes at room temperature to preserve their juicy, flavorful profile. Avocados: Creamy and Nutrient-rich Avocados are prized for their creamy texture and nutrient-packed flesh. While it's tempting to prolong their shelf life by refrigerating them, this can hinder the ripening process and result in unappetizing, rubbery fruit. To enjoy perfectly ripe avocados, store them at room temperature until they yield to gentle pressure, indicating they're ready to eat. Stone Fruits: Juicy and Flavorful Stone fruits like peaches, plums, and nectarines boast juicy flesh bursting with flavor. However, refrigerating these fruits can dull their taste and cause the flesh to become mealy. Instead, store them at room temperature until ripe, then enjoy their peak flavor and texture. Once ripe, they can be refrigerated briefly to prolong freshness, but allow them to return to room temperature before consuming for the best taste experience. Citrus Fruits: Zesty and Refreshing Citrus fruits, including oranges, lemons, and limes, add brightness to both sweet and savory dishes. While they may seem suited to the cold, refrigerating citrus fruits can actually lead to a loss of flavor and juiciness. Instead, store them at room temperature or in a cool, dark pantry to maintain their optimal taste and texture. Pineapple: Tropical Sweetness Pineapple's tropical sweetness makes it a favorite addition to fruit salads, smoothies, and savory dishes. However, refrigerating pineapple can cause it to become overly soft and lose its vibrant flavor. To keep pineapple fresh, store it at room temperature until ripe, then enjoy its juicy, tangy goodness. Melons: Summer Refreshment Melons like watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew are synonymous with summer refreshment. While it may seem logical to chill these fruits, refrigeration can actually impair their flavor and texture. Instead, store whole melons at room temperature until ripe, then refrigerate cut portions for a refreshing treat. Berries: Bursting with Flavor Berries, including strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries, are delicate fruits prized for their vibrant colors and sweet-tart flavor. However, refrigerating berries can lead to moisture retention, accelerating mold growth and spoilage. To prolong the freshness of berries, store them unwashed in a single layer in the fridge and rinse just before eating. Mangoes: Tropical Delight Mangoes, with their tropical aroma and sweet, juicy flesh, are a true delight. While refrigeration may seem like a logical choice, it can actually impair the ripening process and diminish flavor. Instead, allow mangoes to ripen at room temperature until they yield to gentle pressure near the stem end, indicating they're ready to enjoy. Persimmons: Autumn Splendor Persimmons, with their vibrant orange hue and honey-like sweetness, are a seasonal delicacy. Refrigerating persimmons can disrupt the ripening process and lead to a bitter taste. To enjoy the full flavor of persimmons, store them at room temperature until ripe, then savor their autumn splendor. Papayas: Tropical Indulgence Papayas are prized for their luscious, orange flesh and tropical flavor. However, refrigerating papayas can cause the flesh to become mushy and bland. To enjoy the full flavor and texture of papayas, store them at room temperature until ripe, then indulge in their tropical sweetness. Figs: Nature's Jam Figs, with their sweet, jam-like flesh and delicate skin, are a culinary treasure. Refrigerating figs can cause them to lose their delicate texture and flavor. Instead, store figs at room temperature until ripe, then enjoy their luscious sweetness on its own or paired with cheese and nuts. Cherries: Summer's Bounty Cherries, with their glossy skins and juicy flesh, are a quintessential summer treat. Refrigerating cherries can cause them to become soft and lose their crisp texture. Instead, store cherries at room temperature until ripe, then refrigerate to prolong freshness. Peppers: Colorful and Flavorful Peppers, whether sweet or spicy, add vibrant color and flavor to dishes. While refrigeration may seem like a logical choice, it can actually cause peppers to become soft and lose their crunch. Instead, store peppers at room temperature for optimal texture and flavor. Eggplants: Versatile and Nutritious Eggplants are prized for their meaty texture and ability to absorb flavors. However, refrigerating eggplants can cause them to become bitter and mushy. Instead, store eggplants at room temperature until ready to use, then enjoy them grilled, roasted, or sauted to perfection. Potatoes: Starchy Staples Potatoes are a versatile staple in many cuisines, prized for their starchy texture and ability to complement a wide range of dishes. While refrigeration may seem like a way to prolong their shelf life, it can actually cause the starches to convert to sugar, resulting in a gritty texture and unpleasant flavor. Instead, store potatoes in a cool, dark pantry or cupboard away from onions, which can cause them to sprout prematurely. Onions: Culinary Essential Onions are a fundamental ingredient in countless recipes, prized for their pungent flavor and aromatic appeal. While refrigeration may seem like a way to prevent sprouting and extend shelf life, it can actually cause onions to become soft and moldy. Instead, store onions in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ensuring proper air circulation to prevent premature spoilage. Garlic: Flavorful Enhancement Garlic is a culinary powerhouse, valued for its pungent flavor and aromatic appeal. While refrigeration may seem like a way to prolong its shelf life, it can actually cause garlic to sprout and become rubbery. Instead, store garlic in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, allowing proper air circulation to maintain optimal freshness. Bread: Daily Staple Bread is a dietary staple enjoyed in various forms around the world, from crusty baguettes to fluffy sandwich loaves. While refrigeration may seem like a way to prevent mold growth and extend shelf life, it can actually cause bread to dry out and become stale more quickly. Instead, store bread in a cool, dry place or freeze slices for longer-term storage, ensuring they're tightly wrapped to prevent freezer burn. Basil: Fragrant Herb Basil is a fragrant herb prized for its fresh, aromatic flavor. While refrigeration may seem like a way to prolong its shelf life, it can actually cause basil leaves to wilt and turn black. Instead, store basil at room temperature in a glass of water, similar to a bouquet of flowers, and cover the leaves with a plastic bag to retain moisture. Coffee Beans: Liquid Gold Coffee beans are a cherished commodity, prized for their rich, complex flavors and invigorating aroma. While refrigeration may seem like a way to preserve freshness, it can actually cause coffee beans to absorb odors from other foods in the fridge. Instead, store coffee beans in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to maintain their optimal flavor profile. Honey: Nature's Sweetener Honey is a natural sweetener beloved for its golden hue and rich, complex flavor. While refrigeration may seem like a way to prevent crystallization, it can actually cause honey to become thick and grainy. Instead, store honey at room temperature in a sealed container, where it will remain liquid and pourable for months. Olive Oil: Culinary Essential Olive oil is a culinary staple prized for its fruity flavor and versatility. While refrigeration may seem like a way to preserve freshness, it can actually cause olive oil to solidify and lose its flavor. Instead, store olive oil in a cool, dark place away from heat and light to maintain its optimal taste and texture. Nuts: Nutrient-rich Snack Nuts are a nutrient-rich snack enjoyed in various forms, from almonds to walnuts. While refrigeration may seem like a way to prevent rancidity, it can actually cause nuts to absorb odors from other foods in the fridge. Instead, store nuts in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to maintain their freshness and flavor. Chocolate: Indulgent Treat Chocolate is an indulgent treat enjoyed in various forms, from rich dark bars to creamy milk chocolates. While refrigeration may seem like a way to prevent melting, it can actually cause chocolate to absorb odors from other foods in the fridge. Instead, store chocolate in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its optimal flavor and texture. Wine: Liquid Elixir Wine is a beloved beverage enjoyed for its complex flavors and ability to complement a wide range of dishes. While refrigeration may seem like a way to preserve freshness, it can actually cause wine to lose its flavor and aroma. Instead, store wine in a cool, dark place away from heat and light to maintain its optimal taste profile. Eggs: Breakfast Staple Eggs are a breakfast staple enjoyed in various forms, from scrambled to poached. While refrigeration may seem like a way to prolong freshness, it can actually cause eggs to absorb odors from other foods in the fridge. Instead, store eggs in their original carton in the refrigerator's main compartment to maintain their quality and flavor. Butter: Culinary Essential Butter is a culinary essential prized for its rich, creamy flavor and versatility. While refrigeration may seem like a way to prevent spoilage, it can actually cause butter to become overly hard and difficult to spread. Instead, store butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator's main compartment to maintain its freshness and flavor. Cheese: Dairy Delight Cheese is a dairy delight enjoyed in various forms, from creamy brie to sharp cheddar. While refrigeration may seem like a way to prevent spoilage, it can actually cause cheese to lose its flavor and aroma. Instead, store cheese in an airtight container in the refrigerator's main compartment to maintain its optimal texture and taste. Milk: Calcium-rich Beverage Milk is a calcium-rich beverage enjoyed on its own or added to cereal and recipes. While refrigeration is essential to prevent spoilage, it's important to note that milk should be stored in the main compartment of the fridge, rather than the door, where temperatures fluctuate more significantly. This ensures that milk maintains its freshness and quality for longer. Yogurt: Probiotic Powerhouse Yogurt is a probiotic powerhouse enjoyed for its creamy texture and tangy flavor. While refrigeration is essential to prevent spoilage, it's important to store yogurt in the main compartment of the fridge, rather than the door, to maintain its optimal temperature and consistency. This ensures that yogurt remains fresh and delicious for longer. Leafy Greens: Nutrient-rich Leafy greens like spinach, kale, and lettuce are nutrient-rich staples in many diets. While refrigeration is essential to prevent wilting and spoilage, it's important to store leafy greens in the crisper drawer of the fridge, where humidity levels can be adjusted to maintain freshness. This ensures that leafy greens remain crisp and vibrant for longer. Fresh Herbs: Flavorful Additions Fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, and mint add vibrant flavor to dishes. While refrigeration is essential to prevent wilting and spoilage, it's important to store fresh herbs in a glass of water on the refrigerator's shelf, similar to a bouquet of flowers. This ensures that herbs remain fresh and flavorful for longer. Root Vegetables: Nutrient-rich Staples Root vegetables like carrots, beets, and radishes are nutrient-rich staples in many diets. While refrigeration is essential to prevent sprouting and spoilage, it's important to store root vegetables in the crisper drawer of the fridge, where humidity levels can be adjusted to maintain freshness. This ensures that root vegetables remain crisp and flavorful for longer. Cruciferous Vegetables: Nutrient-packed Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts are nutrient-packed additions to meals. While refrigeration is essential to prevent wilting and spoilage, it's important to store cruciferous vegetables in the crisper drawer of the fridge, where humidity levels can be adjusted to maintain freshness. This ensures that cruciferous vegetables remain crisp and flavorful for longer.In conclusion, while refrigeration is essential for preserving many foods, it's important to recognize that not all fruits and vegetables thrive in cold temperatures. By understanding which foods should not be refrigerated, you can ensure that they maintain their optimal taste, texture, and nutritional value. From bananas to bread, avocados to eggs, proper storage is key to enjoying the full bounty of nature's harvest. Leave Shimla-Manali! Everyone has failed in front of this hidden place of Himachal!

Should I have a one night stand?
In today's dynamic social landscape, the question of whether to engage in a one-night stand is one that many individuals grapple with. It's a topic fraught with both excitement and uncertainty, with personal desires often conflicting with societal norms and individual values. Before delving into the decision-making process, it's essential to understand what a one-night stand entails and the potential implications it carries. Understanding One-Night Stands What is a One-Night Stand? A one-night stand typically refers to a sexual encounter between two individuals with no expectation of pursuing a long-term relationship or further contact afterward. It is often spontaneous, fueled by attraction and desire in the moment, without the commitment or emotional investment associated with traditional relationships. The Allure of One-Night Stands Exploring Sexual Freedom One of the primary appeals of a one-night stand is the freedom it offers to explore one's sexuality without the constraints of commitment. It allows individuals to satisfy their physical desires without the emotional complexities that can accompany romantic relationships. Adventure and Excitement For some, the thrill of spontaneity and the unknown adds an element of excitement to the experience. The prospect of meeting someone new and indulging in a fleeting connection can be exhilarating and invigorating. Potential Risks and Considerations Emotional Consequences While the idea of a casual encounter may seem appealing on the surface, it's crucial to acknowledge the potential emotional ramifications. Engaging in a one-night stand can leave individuals feeling empty or unfulfilled, particularly if they were seeking more than just physical intimacy. Risk of STIs and Pregnancy Practicing safe sex is paramount, but even with precautions, there is always a risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unplanned pregnancy. Condoms can reduce the risk, but they are not foolproof, underscoring the importance of careful consideration before engaging in sexual activity. Impact on Self-Esteem For some individuals, participating in a one-night stand can lead to feelings of regret or shame afterward, particularly if it conflicts with their personal values or beliefs. It's essential to consider how such an experience may affect one's self-esteem and emotional well-being. Navigating Consent and Communication Clear Communication Open and honest communication is essential in any sexual encounter, including one-night stands. Both parties should clearly express their boundaries, desires, and expectations to ensure a mutually respectful and consensual experience. Respecting Boundaries Respecting the boundaries of others is crucial. If someone expresses hesitation or discomfort, it's important to listen and honor their feelings rather than pressuring them into something they're not comfortable with. The Decision-Making Process Reflecting on Personal Values Before deciding whether to pursue a one-night stand, individuals should reflect on their personal values, desires, and boundaries. What are their motivations for seeking this experience, and how does it align with their long-term goals and aspirations? Assessing Potential Consequences Consideration should also be given to the potential consequences, both positive and negative, of engaging in a one-night stand. Is the temporary pleasure worth the potential risks to physical and emotional well-being? Seeking Support and Guidance If unsure about whether to proceed, seeking guidance from trusted friends, family members, or healthcare professionals can provide valuable perspective and support. Ultimately, the decision to have a one-night stand is a deeply personal one that depends on individual circumstances, values, and desires. While it can offer temporary gratification and excitement, it also carries risks and potential emotional consequences that should not be overlooked. By carefully considering one's motivations, boundaries, and the potential impact on both oneself and others, individuals can make an informed decision that aligns with their values and goals.

In multiple organ failure, which organ becomes useless first? Understand the complete chronology
Multiple organ failure (MOF), also known as multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), is a severe and often life-threatening condition characterized by the progressive failure of two or more organ systems. The sequence of organ failure in MOF can vary depending on the underlying cause and individual patient factors. However, there are certain patterns commonly observed in the progression of this condition. The Sequence of Organ Failure in Multiple Organ Failure 1. Sequential Failure In MOF, organ failure typically occurs in a sequential manner, with certain organs failing before others. This sequence may vary, but there are some general patterns that healthcare providers commonly observe. 2. Respiratory Failure Respiratory failure often manifests as one of the initial signs of MOF. This can occur due to conditions such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), pneumonia, or severe sepsis. In MOF, the lungs may fail to oxygenate the blood adequately, leading to hypoxemia and respiratory distress. 3. Cardiovascular Failure Cardiovascular failure may follow respiratory failure in the progression of MOF. This can manifest as shock, where the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's demands. Causes of cardiovascular failure in MOF may include septic shock, cardiogenic shock, or hypovolemic shock. 4. Renal Failure Renal failure often occurs subsequent to respiratory and cardiovascular failure in MOF. This can manifest as acute kidney injury (AKI) or acute renal failure, where the kidneys are unable to adequately filter waste products and maintain fluid and electrolyte balance. Causes of renal failure in MOF may include hypoperfusion, sepsis, or nephrotoxic medications. 5. Hepatic Failure Hepatic failure may occur concurrently with or following renal failure in MOF. This can manifest as acute liver injury or liver dysfunction, where the liver is unable to perform its vital functions, such as detoxification and synthesis of proteins. Causes of hepatic failure in MOF may include ischemia, sepsis, or hepatotoxic medications. 6. Gastrointestinal Failure Gastrointestinal failure can also occur in MOF, although it may not always be as prominent as other organ failures. This can manifest as intestinal ischemia, paralytic ileus, or gastrointestinal bleeding. Causes of gastrointestinal failure in MOF may include hypoperfusion, sepsis, or bowel obstruction. 7. Neurological Failure Neurological failure may occur as a late manifestation of MOF, particularly in cases where there is severe hypoxemia or metabolic derangements. This can manifest as altered mental status, seizures, or coma. Causes of neurological failure in MOF may include cerebral hypoperfusion, metabolic encephalopathy, or intracranial hemorrhage. 8. Chronology of Organ Failure The chronology of organ failure in MOF can vary depending on the underlying cause, severity of illness, and individual patient factors. However, the sequence described above provides a general framework for understanding the progression of this condition. Multiple organ failure is a complex and life-threatening condition characterized by the sequential failure of two or more organ systems. While the specific sequence of organ failure may vary, there are common patterns observed in the progression of this condition. Understanding the chronology of organ failure in MOF is essential for timely recognition, management, and treatment of this critical condition. Leave Shimla-Manali!

'Cool Summer of India' campaign seeks to boost tourism in lesser-known cities during summer
NEW DELHI: Aiming to attarct more international tourists during summer and at the same time decongest the overcrowded hill stations in the country, the Ministry of Tourism is all set to launch a social media campaignCool Summer of India. With this, the Ministry is seeking to promote the country as an all season tourist destination. The ministry in consultation with the state governments and union territory (UT) administrations has picked about 50 destinations. These destinations will be featured on various digital platforms, the Incredible India portal under the first phase of the campaign. During the promotional exercise, efforts will be made to ensure that more tourists visit the suggested cities during May and June; months during which a large part of the country reels under severe heat waves. The ministry is also said to engage embassies in the social media campaign so that tour operators from major markets are covered. The objective is to challenge the notion that India is hot during summer; not an ideal destination to visit during the season, especially in May and June. The list of destinations to be promoted under the campaign includes many off-beat and lesser known locations and cities where the weather is cool and pleasant while a major part of the country experiences heatwave, said officials. Think India is too hot for #summer fun? Stay tuned for a refreshing revelation! #coolsummersofindia #incredibleindia #myincredibleindia #visitindia #exploreindia #Indiatourism #Indiatravel #India #summergetaway #summervacation #summervacay @tourismgoi @PIBTour @PIB_India pic.twitter.com/s2MhNh8ydd Incredible!ndia (@incredibleindia) May 3, 2024 The campaign will also extensively be showcased at Arabian Travel Market in Dubai starting next week. The ministry has created a micro site of the campaign comprising interactivities, graphics and games through which the users may read about destinations and choose. The destinations to be promoted as part of the campaign have been selected based on an assessment of the state governments and UTs, which are known for their unique cuisines and crafts and have a history behind them. This will help states to divert influx of tourists to other or less-frequented destinations and control tourist flow in regular locations such as Manali, Mussoorie, Nainital and Shimla. The cities come to a halt during summer months because of traffic snarls as tourists from across states and UTs throng the towns, officials added. The campaign will focus on tourist arrivals from countries in middle-east. The campaign will also benefit small and lesser known cities, which have good infrastructure, economically. Even on weekends in many places, occupancy in hotels and guest houses is just 50 percent, said officials.
Plant these plants in the room, you will not feel hot
Are you tired of feeling like you're living in a sauna during the summer months? Do you find yourself constantly battling against the heat, even with the air conditioning on full blast? Well, it might be time to bring some greenery into your space! Transform Your Room into a Cool Oasis With the right selection of plants, you can transform your room into a cool oasis where you can escape the scorching heat outside. Not only do these plants add a touch of natural beauty to your space, but they also act as natural air conditioners, helping to lower the temperature and create a more comfortable environment. How Do Plants Cool the Air? Plants have a remarkable ability to cool the air through a process called transpiration. During transpiration, plants absorb water from the soil through their roots and release it into the air through tiny pores in their leaves called stomata. As this water evaporates, it carries away heat energy, effectively lowering the surrounding air temperature. H3: Best Plants for Cooling Your Room When it comes to selecting plants for cooling purposes, not all plants are created equal. Some species are particularly adept at transpiring large amounts of water and can therefore have a more significant cooling effect. Here are some of the best plants to consider: 1. Snake Plant (Sansevieria trifasciata) The snake plant, also known as mother-in-law's tongue, is a popular choice for indoor spaces due to its low maintenance requirements and air-purifying abilities. In addition to filtering out toxins from the air, the snake plant also releases oxygen at night, making it an excellent choice for bedrooms. 2.

With its lush green foliage and elegant white flowers, the peace lily adds a touch of sophistication to any room. 4. Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata) Boston ferns are renowned for their ability to add a touch of lushness to indoor spaces while also helping to cool the air. These ferns thrive in high humidity environments, so be sure to mist them regularly or place them in a bathroom or kitchen where moisture levels are higher. 5. Areca Palm (Dypsis lutescens) The areca palm, also known as the butterfly palm, is not only a visually striking plant but also an excellent air purifier and humidifier. With its feathery fronds and elegant appearance, the areca palm adds a tropical touch to any room while helping to keep it cool and comfortable.

Incorporate Vibrant Colors Why: Bright and cheerful colors can stimulate a child's senses and contribute to a lively atmosphere.

Use colorful accents such as bedding, rugs, and wall art to add pops of color throughout the room. 3. Prioritize Safety Why: Safety should always be a top priority when decorating a child's room to prevent accidents and injuries.

If you take painkillers immediately for pain, it will cause harm
When it comes to managing pain, the instinct to reach for painkillers immediately might seem like the obvious choice for relief. However, recent studies and medical experts warn against this knee-jerk reaction, suggesting that immediate painkiller use could actually do more harm than good. Let's delve into why this is the case and explore alternative approaches to pain management. Understanding Immediate Painkiller Use Immediate painkiller use refers to the practice of taking pain-relieving medications at the onset of discomfort or pain. This could include over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, or aspirin, as well as prescription drugs like opioids. The Temptation of Quick Relief When faced with pain, whether it's a headache, muscle ache, or any other form of discomfort, the desire for quick relief is understandable. Pain can be disruptive, affecting our ability to focus, work, or simply enjoy life. As a result, many individuals turn to painkillers as a rapid solution to alleviate their symptoms. Potential Harm of Immediate Use While painkillers can provide effective relief when used appropriately, their immediate use may pose several risks and drawbacks: Masking Underlying Issues One of the primary concerns with immediate painkiller use is that it may mask underlying health issues or injuries. Pain serves as a signal from the body, indicating that something is wrong. By suppressing pain with medication, individuals may inadvertently ignore important warning signs that warrant medical attention. Dependency and Tolerance Regular, immediate use of painkillers can lead to dependency and tolerance, where higher doses are needed to achieve the same level of relief. This can set off a dangerous cycle of escalating medication use, increasing the risk of addiction and adverse side effects. Gastrointestinal Complications Certain painkillers, particularly nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen, can cause gastrointestinal complications when taken frequently or in high doses. These may include stomach ulcers, bleeding, and other digestive issues that can be severe and even life-threatening. Liver and Kidney Damage Acetaminophen, commonly found in medications like Tylenol, can cause liver damage when taken in excess or over a prolonged period. Similarly, some painkillers can put strain on the kidneys, leading to kidney damage or failure, especially in individuals with pre-existing renal conditions. Safer Alternatives for Pain Management Given the potential risks associated with immediate painkiller use, it's essential to explore safer alternatives for managing pain: Physical Therapy and Exercise For musculoskeletal pain or injuries, physical therapy and targeted exercises can help alleviate discomfort, improve mobility, and address underlying issues contributing to the pain. Heat and Cold Therapy Applying heat packs or cold compresses to the affected area can provide effective relief for certain types of pain, such as muscle strains or joint inflammation, without the need for medication. Mind-Body Techniques Practices like yoga, meditation, and deep breathing exercises can help reduce stress, promote relaxation, and alleviate pain by modulating the body's response to discomfort. Nutritional and Herbal Remedies Certain dietary supplements and herbal remedies, such as turmeric, ginger, and omega-3 fatty acids, have anti-inflammatory properties that may help manage pain naturally. Consultation with Healthcare Professionals Above all, it's crucial to consult with healthcare professionals before resorting to painkillers or any other form of treatment. A thorough evaluation by a qualified medical provider can help identify the underlying cause of pain and determine the most appropriate course of action for managing it safely and effectively. While the allure of immediate pain relief through medication may be strong, it's important to approach pain management with caution and consideration for the potential risks involved. By exploring alternative strategies and seeking guidance from healthcare professionals, individuals can address pain in a manner that prioritizes long-term well-being and avoids unnecessary harm.

Japan and Uzbekistan went into the final at Doha's Jassim bin Hamad Stadium having already claimed two of Asia's three berths at the Olympics in Paris in the summer, with the tournament serving as the continent's final eliminator for the Games. Iraq took the third place on Thursday with an extra-time win over Indonesia, who will play Guinea on May 9 in a playoff for the last remaining spot at the finals.

How many spoons of ghee should one eat daily to gain weight?
Ghee, a clarified butter used in traditional Indian cooking, has gained popularity worldwide for its health benefits and unique flavor. One common question that arises is how much ghee one should consume daily to gain weight effectively. Let's delve into this topic to understand the role of ghee in weight gain and the recommended daily intake. What is Ghee? Ghee is a type of clarified butter that originated in ancient India. It is made by simmering butter, which separates the milk solids and water from the fat. The resulting golden liquid is then strained to produce ghee, which has a rich, nutty flavor and a higher smoke point than butter. Nutritional Composition of Ghee Ghee is primarily composed of saturated fats, which provide a concentrated source of energy. It also contains small amounts of vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as fatty acids like omega-3 and omega-6. Additionally, ghee is lactose-free and is often well-tolerated by individuals with lactose intolerance. Ghee and Weight Gain Ghee is often recommended for weight gain due to its high calorie and fat content. Just one tablespoon of ghee contains approximately 120 calories and 14 grams of fat, making it a calorie-dense food that can contribute to weight gain when consumed in moderation. Recommended Daily Intake While ghee can be beneficial for those looking to gain weight, it's essential to consume it in moderation to avoid excessive calorie intake and potential health risks associated with high saturated fat consumption. The recommended daily intake of ghee varies depending on individual factors such as age, weight, activity level, and overall dietary goals. Factors to Consider Caloric Needs: To determine the appropriate amount of ghee for weight gain, it's crucial to assess your daily caloric needs. This can be calculated based on factors such as basal metabolic rate (BMR) and activity level. Overall Diet: Ghee should be incorporated into a well-balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrient-dense foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Consuming excess ghee without balancing other food groups can lead to nutritional deficiencies. Individual Tolerance: Some individuals may tolerate ghee better than others due to factors such as digestive health and lipid metabolism. It's essential to listen to your body and adjust your intake accordingly. While ghee can be a valuable addition to a weight gain diet due to its calorie-dense nature and nutritional benefits, it's essential to consume it in moderation and as part of a balanced diet. Consulting with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian can help determine the appropriate amount of ghee for your individual needs and goals.

Why do I feel dizzy in summer? Know the methods of prevention from experts
Summer is often associated with sunshine, vacations, and outdoor activities. However, for some individuals, it can also bring about unpleasant sensations such as dizziness. This phenomenon can be attributed to various factors, including dehydration, heat exhaustion, and changes in blood pressure. Understanding why you might feel dizzy during the summer months and learning effective prevention methods is essential for staying healthy and enjoying the season to its fullest. Dehydration: A Common Culprit Dehydration is a primary cause of dizziness during summer. When the body loses more fluids than it takes in, essential electrolytes such as sodium and potassium become imbalanced, leading to symptoms like lightheadedness and dizziness. Understanding Dehydration Dehydration occurs when the body doesn't have enough fluids to function properly. Factors such as excessive sweating, inadequate fluid intake, and high temperatures can contribute to dehydration, especially during the summer months. Impact on Blood Pressure Dehydration can also affect blood pressure regulation, causing it to drop and resulting in dizziness when standing up suddenly. This condition, known as orthostatic hypotension, is more prevalent in older adults but can affect individuals of any age, particularly during hot weather. Heat Exhaustion and Heatstroke Heat exhaustion and heatstroke are serious heat-related illnesses that can cause dizziness, among other symptoms. Heat Exhaustion Heat exhaustion occurs when the body overheats due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures and insufficient hydration. Symptoms include dizziness, nausea, weakness, and excessive sweating. Heatstroke Heatstroke is a life-threatening condition characterized by a body temperature of 104F (40C) or higher. In addition to dizziness, symptoms may include confusion, rapid heartbeat, and unconsciousness. Immediate medical attention is necessary for heatstroke to prevent serious complications. Prevention Strategies Preventing dizziness in summer requires proactive measures to stay hydrated, cool, and protected from the sun's harmful rays. Stay Hydrated Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially when engaging in outdoor activities or spending time in the sun. Avoid excessive consumption of caffeine and alcohol, as they can contribute to dehydration. Protect Yourself from the Sun Wear lightweight, breathable clothing and a wide-brimmed hat to shield yourself from direct sunlight. Use sunscreen with a high SPF rating to protect your skin from sunburn, which can exacerbate dehydration and heat-related illnesses. Take Breaks in the Shade When spending time outdoors, take regular breaks in shaded areas to cool down and rest. Avoid strenuous activities during the hottest parts of the day, typically between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Cooling Measures Use fans, air conditioning, or cool baths to lower your body temperature and alleviate symptoms of heat-related dizziness. Applying cold compresses to the neck and wrists can also help regulate body temperature. Seeking Medical Attention If you experience persistent or severe dizziness, fainting, confusion, or other concerning symptoms, seek medical attention immediately. These could be signs of a more serious underlying condition or heat-related illness that requires prompt treatment. By understanding the causes of dizziness in summer and implementing effective prevention strategies, you can enjoy the season safely and comfortably. Stay hydrated, stay cool, and listen to your body's signals to ensure a healthy and enjoyable summer experience.

In the intricate dance of human relationships, setting boundaries is akin to drawing lines in the sand. These boundaries serve as the framework within which interactions take place. They delineate what is acceptable and what isn't, what one is willing to give and what one expects in return. Without boundaries, relationships can become murky and fraught with misunderstandings. Saying 'No' is one of the most effective ways to establish and reinforce these boundaries. It's a clear signal that one recognizes their own limitations and respects their own needs. Respecting Your Time and Energy: A Valuable Currency Time and energy are finite resources, akin to currency in the economy of life. Just as one wouldn't squander their hard-earned money on frivolous purchases, one shouldn't squander their time and energy on activities or commitments that don't align with their priorities or values. Saying 'No' is a way of safeguarding these precious resources. It's a declaration that one values their own well-being enough to refrain from overextending themselves. By conserving their time and energy, individuals can ensure that they have enough reserves to devote to the people and activities that truly matter to them. Maintaining Integrity: The Backbone of Character Integrity is the bedrock upon which trust and respect are built. It's the quality that allows individuals to remain true to their principles and values, even in the face of temptation or adversity. Saying 'No' when one is unable to fulfill a request is an act of integrity. It's an acknowledgment of one's limitations and a refusal to compromise on one's principles. While it may be tempting to say 'Yes' simply to please others or avoid conflict, doing so can erode one's integrity over time. By staying true to themselves and their capabilities, individuals can preserve their integrity and earn the trust and respect of others. Fostering Respect: The Currency of Relationships Respect is the foundation upon which all healthy relationships are built. It's the acknowledgment of each other's autonomy, worth, and dignity. Saying 'No' assertively and respectfully is a powerful way to command respect from others. It sends the message that one values themselves enough to stand up for their own needs and priorities. Conversely, constantly saying 'Yes' out of fear of disappointing or upsetting others can lead to resentment and undermine one's sense of self-worth. By asserting themselves and setting boundaries, individuals can foster mutual respect in their relationships. Avoiding Resentment: The Poison in Relationships Resentment is like a poison that slowly eats away at the fabric of relationships. It festers beneath the surface, poisoning interactions and sowing seeds of discord. One of the primary causes of resentment is the failure to assert oneself and set boundaries. When individuals say 'Yes' to requests or commitments that they're not truly comfortable with, they're setting themselves up for resentment down the line. This resentment can manifest as passive-aggressive behavior, emotional withdrawal, or even outright hostility. By learning to say 'No' upfront, individuals can prevent resentment from taking root and preserve the harmony of their relationships. How to Say 'No' Effectively: The Art of Assertiveness Saying 'No' assertively and respectfully is a skill that can be honed with practice. Here are some tips for mastering the art of assertiveness: Be Honest: Speak Your Truth Honesty is the cornerstone of assertiveness. When saying 'No,' it's important to be honest about your reasons for declining. Whether it's due to a lack of time, energy, or interest, clearly communicate your rationale in a respectful manner. Avoid fabricating excuses or sugarcoating the truth, as this can erode trust and credibility. Offer Alternatives: Seek Win-Win Solutions Saying 'No' doesn't have to be a dead end. In many cases, there may be alternative solutions or compromises that can satisfy both parties. When declining a request, consider offering alternatives that align better with your capabilities or preferences. This demonstrates a willingness to collaborate and find mutually beneficial solutions. Use Assertive Language: Stand Your Ground Assertiveness is about striking a balance between firmness and politeness. When saying 'No,' use assertive language that clearly communicates your decision while maintaining a respectful tone. Avoid apologizing excessively or hedging your words, as this can weaken the impact of your message. Instead, speak with confidence and conviction, and don't be afraid to assert your boundaries. Practice Self-Compassion: Prioritize Self-Care Above all, remember that it's okay to prioritize your own well-being. Saying 'No' doesn't make you selfish or uncaring; it's an act of self-preservation. Practice self-compassion and remind yourself that you deserve to prioritize your own needs and priorities. By taking care of yourself, you'll be better equipped to show up fully in your relationships and contribute positively to the lives of others. Conclusion: The Power of 'No' in Relationships In conclusion, saying 'No' is a crucial skill in both professional and personal relationships. It allows individuals to set boundaries, respect their own time and energy, maintain integrity, foster respect, and avoid resentment. By learning to say 'No' assertively and respectfully, individuals can safeguard their well-being and preserve the harmony of their relationships. So the next time you're faced with a request or commitment that doesn't align with your priorities or values, don't be afraid to say 'No.' Your relationshipsand your sanitywill thank you for it.

Never make these mistakes while talking
It is important to have a very good first impression because people are also forming their opinion about you through it. To make a good impression on anyone, it is very important that while you talk, your body language and facial expressions should also look polite and good. Many times people say that he had spoken very well and had answered all the questions correctly, yet someone else has also been selected. Actually, the reason behind this may be some mistakes made while talking. While talking, some of your mistakes can have a negative impact on the other person and due to this, sometimes not only your image can get spoiled in the eyes of the other person, but it also causes loss. The way we communicate is an important part of our personality, hence it is very important to keep some things in mind while talking to anyone. Keep looking here and there while talking: Reports say that whether it is office colleagues or friendswhen you are talking to anyone, it is necessary to make eye contact with that person. The habit of looking here and there while talking or checking your phone can spoil your impression. Due to this, the person in front may either feel lack of confidence in you or he may think that you are not interested in what he has to say at all. Starting to say one's point without completing what the other person has said: According to the news, when we get too excited while talking to someone, we tend to hurry up in saying what we say. During this time, speaking without completing what the other person is saying completely spoils your image. Therefore, when you are talking to someone, listen to the other person calmly and then reply. This will not only make your personality look good in the eyes of others, but you will also be able to understand and answer the question properly. It is very important to pay attention to facial expressions: While talking to anyone, facial expressions also tell a lot about you. If you are talking, laughing too much or having a strict expression on your face will make the other person feel uncomfortable. Keep moving your hands and legs again and again: Not only this, body language plays a very important role in what your image is going to be in the eyes of the other person. Therefore, moving your feet or moving your hands too much while talking to anyone is showing your lack of confidence. Incorrect sitting posture: Not only this, if you have gone for some official work then it is very important that your sitting posture should be correct. Sitting slouched or sitting with the body too tense may appear to be low in confidence. When you are talking to someone, sit comfortably.

What things should asthma patients keep, know from health experts...
Living with asthma can present challenges, but with the right knowledge and strategies, individuals can effectively manage their condition and lead fulfilling lives. Health experts recommend several key practices and considerations for asthma patients to ensure optimal health and well-being. 1. Recognizing Asthma Symptoms Recognizing the signs and symptoms of asthma is crucial for timely intervention and management. Common symptoms include: 1.1 Shortness of Breath One of the hallmark symptoms of asthma is shortness of breath, which manifests as a feeling of breathlessness or difficulty breathing. This sensation often occurs during physical exertion or as a result of exposure to triggers such as allergens or irritants. Individuals with asthma may experience varying degrees of shortness of breath, ranging from mild discomfort to severe respiratory distress. 1.2 Wheezing Wheezing is another common symptom of asthma characterized by a high-pitched whistling sound when breathing. It typically occurs when airflow through the narrow airways of the lungs is obstructed, leading to turbulence and vibration of the respiratory tract. Wheezing may be more pronounced during exhalation but can also occur during inhalation in some cases. 1.3 Chest Tightness Many asthma patients experience chest tightness, which is often described as a sensation of pressure or constriction in the chest. This feeling can be unsettling and uncomfortable, resembling the tightening of a band around the chest. Chest tightness may accompany other asthma symptoms or occur independently, depending on individual triggers and the severity of the condition. 1.4 Coughing Frequent coughing is a common symptom of asthma, particularly during the night or in response to triggers such as allergens, cold air, or exercise. Asthma-related coughing may be dry and non-productive or accompanied by the production of mucus or phlegm. Coughing serves as a mechanism to clear the airways of irritants and excess mucus, but persistent or severe coughing may indicate poorly controlled asthma. 2. Understanding Asthma Triggers Identifying and avoiding triggers is essential for managing asthma symptoms and preventing exacerbations. Common asthma triggers include: 2.1 Allergens Allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold, and certain foods can trigger allergic reactions and exacerbate asthma symptoms in susceptible individuals. Allergic asthma, a common subtype of asthma, is characterized by an immune response to specific allergens, leading to inflammation of the airways and bronchoconstriction. 2.2 Irritants Environmental irritants such as cigarette smoke, air pollution, strong odors, and chemical fumes can irritate the airways and trigger asthma symptoms. Even minor exposure to irritants can provoke respiratory distress in sensitive individuals, highlighting the importance of minimizing exposure to such triggers whenever possible. 2.3 Respiratory Infections Viral respiratory infections, including the common cold, flu, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), can exacerbate asthma symptoms and increase the risk of asthma attacks. Respiratory infections cause inflammation of the airways, leading to narrowing and obstruction, which can worsen existing asthma symptoms and compromise lung function. 2.4 Exercise Exercise-induced asthma, also known as exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB), is characterized by the onset of asthma symptoms during or after physical activity. Exercise triggers bronchoconstriction and airway inflammation in susceptible individuals, leading to symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Proper warm-up, adequate hydration, and use of pre-exercise bronchodilators can help minimize exercise-induced asthma symptoms. 3. Medication Management Proper use of asthma medications is essential for controlling symptoms and preventing flare-ups. Health experts recommend the following: 3.1 Controller Medications Long-term control medications, such as inhaled corticosteroids, leukotriene modifiers, long-acting beta-agonists (LABAs), and combination inhalers, help reduce airway inflammation and prevent asthma symptoms. These medications are typically taken daily to maintain asthma control and minimize the risk of exacerbations. 3.2 Rescue Medications Quick-relief or rescue medications, such as short-acting beta-agonists (SABAs) and oral corticosteroids, provide rapid relief of asthma symptoms during flare-ups or exacerbations. These medications work by quickly relaxing the muscles surrounding the airways, allowing for improved airflow and symptom relief. Rescue medications should be used as needed to alleviate acute symptoms but should not be relied upon as the primary means of asthma control. 3.3 Inhaler Technique Proper inhaler technique is crucial for effective medication delivery and optimal asthma management. Patients should be instructed on how to use their inhalers correctly, including proper inhalation technique, breath coordination, and device priming. Common types of inhalers include metered-dose inhalers (MDIs), dry powder inhalers (DPIs), and soft mist inhalers (SMIs), each of which requires specific instructions for use. 4. Developing an Asthma Action Plan Creating a personalized asthma action plan in collaboration with healthcare providers empowers patients to manage their condition effectively. An asthma action plan typically includes: 4.1 Symptom Monitoring Guidelines for monitoring asthma symptoms and recognizing signs of worsening or exacerbation. Patients are encouraged to track their symptoms regularly and seek medical attention if symptoms worsen or fail to improve with treatment. 4.2 Medication Management Instructions for using controller and rescue medications, including dosages, frequency, and indications for adjustment. Patients should be familiar with their prescribed medications and adhere to their treatment regimen as directed by their healthcare provider. 4.3 Trigger Avoidance Strategies for identifying and avoiding asthma triggers to minimize symptom exacerbation. This may include environmental modifications, such as using air purifiers, avoiding exposure to allergens and irritants, and implementing lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of asthma exacerbations. 4.4 Emergency Response Guidance on what to do in case of a severe asthma attack or emergency situation, including when to seek medical help and when to use emergency medications such as rescue inhalers or oral corticosteroids. Patients should be prepared to take prompt action in the event of an asthma emergency and communicate effectively with healthcare providers to ensure timely intervention and appropriate treatment. 5. Regular Follow-Up and Monitoring Regular follow-up appointments with healthcare providers are essential for monitoring asthma control, adjusting treatment plans as needed, and addressing any concerns or questions. Health experts recommend: 5.1 Asthma Reviews Scheduled asthma reviews with healthcare providers to assess symptom control, medication efficacy, and overall asthma management. During these reviews, healthcare providers may perform lung function tests, review medication adherence, and discuss any changes in symptoms or triggers. 5.2 Lung Function Tests Periodic lung function tests, such as spirometry or peak flow measurements, to evaluate lung function and monitor asthma severity. Lung function tests provide objective measurements of airflow limitation and help assess the effectiveness of asthma treatment over time. 5.3 Medication Reviews Reviewing medication regimens regularly to ensure optimal efficacy and minimize the risk of side effects or complications. Healthcare providers may adjust medication dosages, switch medications, or introduce new therapies based on individual response, treatment goals, and emerging research. By understanding asthma symptoms, identifying triggers, effectively managing medications, developing an asthma action plan, and maintaining regular follow-up with healthcare providers, asthma patients can take control of their condition and enjoy improved quality of life.

The Chennai-based VGN Group, a leading real estate builder and developer in the city, has launched residential plots at Thiruvottiyur, 200 meters from WIMCO Nagar Metro station in North Chennai. The layout is modelled on a fully-compounded gated community with 259 plots, each ranging from 753 to 1500 sq.ft.

The layout has a well-developed park - and there are over a 1000 avenue trees within the gated community. It also has obtained 'Approved Project Financial' (APF) number, making it easy for buyers & investors to get loans from banking and Non-Banking Financial Companies. WIMCO Nagar, where the layout is located, was long considered the secret treasure of Chennai, as its real estate potential is not fully realised. However, the arrival of the Metro Station, the first station on the route in North Chennai, made WIMCO Nagar a pivotal point on Chennais mobility landscape, besides paving the way for rapid infrastructure development - so much so that it is now billed as the next Anna Nagar. Still, land prices at WIMCO Nagar are less than 50% of what they are in Anna Nagar. As WIMCO Nagar is not a low-lying area and as it was not created by destroying any water bodies, the region is not vulnerable to floods. In his comments, Mr. V.N.

Easy and quick access to roads and trains make the real estate irresistible for those who commute to work. One can reach central part of Chennai within 30 minutes either on road or by train. Also, it takes an equal amount of time to reach both Anna Nagar and WIMCO Nagar from Chennai Central. Better air quality and the availability of water, power, and PNG, besides proper sewage and stormwater drainage are the key attractions for the residents. There are large industries such as Manali Petroleum Refinery, Ennore Thermal Power Station, and MRF, but as they are located well within the industrial zone, the environment is clean in the residential areas. It is well documented that the air quality in WIMCO Nagar is better than what is in Mount Road. He pointed out that the present government has earmarked Rs. 1,000 crore for the Valarum Vada Chennai project which aims to create healthcare facilities, and physical infrastructure in Thiruvottiyur, WIMCO Nagar and other parts of North Chennai. Surveys are being done and there will be many new projects in this region. The government is also planning to develop a beach with parks, bridge, glass tunnel, and cycle tracks.

ALERT! Stress may cause risk of reduced fertility, dream of becoming parents may remain unfulfilled
Stress, a pervasive aspect of modern life, has been implicated in a myriad of health issues. However, its impact on fertility is a topic gaining increasing attention. Research suggests that stress can significantly affect reproductive health, potentially jeopardizing the dream of parenthood for many individuals and couples. Understanding the Connection The link between stress and fertility revolves around the intricate interplay of hormones and physiological responses within the body. When individuals experience stress, the body releases cortisol, often referred to as the stress hormone. Elevated cortisol levels can disrupt the delicate balance of reproductive hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, essential for conception and maintaining a healthy pregnancy. Effects on Men For men, chronic stress can lead to a decrease in testosterone levels and sperm production. Additionally, stress-related lifestyle factors like smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and poor diet choices can further compound fertility issues. Impacts on Women In women, stress may disrupt the menstrual cycle, leading to irregular periods or even amenorrhea (absence of menstruation). Moreover, stress can interfere with ovulation, making it more challenging to conceive. Chronic stress has also been associated with conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis, which can impair fertility. The Role of Psychological Factors Beyond its physiological effects, stress can also exert a significant toll on mental health, further complicating the fertility journey. The emotional burden of infertility can exacerbate stress levels, creating a vicious cycle that adversely affects overall well-being. Psychological Distress The emotional rollercoaster of infertility can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, and inadequacy. The pressure to conceive coupled with societal expectations and stigma surrounding infertility can intensify psychological distress, placing additional strain on individuals and relationships. Impact on Relationships Coping with infertility can strain even the strongest of relationships. The stress of fertility treatments, coupled with disappointment and uncertainty, may lead to communication breakdowns, feelings of resentment, and diminished intimacy between partners. Managing Stress for Fertility While infertility can be a challenging journey, there are strategies individuals and couples can employ to mitigate the impact of stress and optimize their chances of conception. Mind-Body Techniques Mindfulness meditation, yoga, and deep breathing exercises can help alleviate stress and promote relaxation. These practices not only reduce cortisol levels but also enhance overall emotional well-being. Seeking Support Joining support groups or seeking counseling can provide a safe space to share experiences, gain perspective, and access coping strategies. Connecting with others who understand the challenges of infertility can offer invaluable support and encouragement. Prioritizing Self-Care Engaging in activities that bring joy and fulfillment outside of the fertility journey is crucial for maintaining balance and perspective. Whether it's pursuing hobbies, spending time with loved ones, or practicing self-care rituals, prioritizing one's well-being is essential. Navigating the Path to Parenthood In the pursuit of parenthood, navigating the challenges of infertility can be overwhelming, particularly in the face of chronic stress. Recognizing the impact of stress on fertility and taking proactive steps to manage it is essential for optimizing reproductive health and well-being. By addressing both the physiological and psychological aspects of stress, individuals and couples can cultivate resilience, strengthen relationships, and increase their chances of realizing their dream of becoming parents.

I pray Lord Ram to provide her good sense: Vikramaditya Singh slams Kangana Ranaut
I pray Lord Ram to provide her good sense: Vikramaditya Singh slams Kangana Ranaut Slamming Bharatiya Janata Party candidate and actress Kangana Ranaut for her Chhota Pappu remark, Himachal Pradesh Minister Vikramaditya Singh said on Thursday that he would pray to Lord Ram to give her some good sense. The Congress leader further said that instead of misleading people by diverting attention, she should speak up on the real issues. The Minister's response comes after Ranaut, in her rally in Manali, attacked Congress leaders for their anti-women mindset and referred to Vikramaditya Singh as Chhota Pappu. BJP has fielded actor Kangana Ranaut, renowned for movies like Queen, Manikarnika and 'Tanu Weds Manu,' from the Mandi constituency in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. In a video message, Singh said that Kangana Ranaut is trying to mislead people and divert the issues of the state and challenged her to have a debate with him. We respect our elder sister Kangana Ranaut. Today she was addressing the people of Manali. Instead of speaking against Congress party and its leaders, it would have been good, if she would have taken up and talked about the issues on the biggest disaster of the century, which happened in Manali a few months ago, Singh said. He also attacked Ranaut, asking what had she done for the people suffering from the massive flood that hit Manali last year. As you claim to be a resident of Manali I want to ask: Did you visit the flood-hit areas of Manali during the disaster? I personally visited all areas. We have restored the roads on the left bank of Manali. We visited the central ministers in Delhi and brought Nitin Gadkari ji to Ground Zero, he further said. I want to tell you that these are not the issues of the people of Himachal Pradesh that what you eat and drink in Mumbai. I would request you please talk on issues of Mandi Parliamentary Constituency, Singh added. The Himachal Minister challenged Ranaut to have a debate with him on their visions for the state. Taking a jibe at her, he said that he would pray to Lord Ram for giving some good sense to Ranaut. What have you contributed and what is going to be your role in the near future. What is your vision and planning for the future as a candidate from Mandi for BJP? You are trying to mislead and spoil the time of the people of Himachal Pradesh, Singh said. I have visited the Ram temple in Ayodhya on January 22nd and taken blessings of Lord Ram. I would pray Lord Ram to provide you a good sense. I would request that let's have a debate on the developmental trajectories of the state. I wish you good luck and wish you keep talking like this and using this kind of language, he added further. Himachal Pradesh has four Lok Sabha seats. The polling on these four seats, along with six Assembly seats in Himachal Pradesh that fell vacant following the disqualification of Congress MLAs will be held on June 1. The BJP had won all four seats in 2019. The counting will be done on June 4. The Mandi constituency is considered a stronghold of former Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh's family. The seat is currently held by the late leader's wife Pratibha Singh. She was elected after a by-election in 2021, after the seat was vacated after the death of BJP MP Ram Swaroop Sharma. (ANI)
Airline ticket prices surge by 20-25% due to Vistara challenges and increased travel demand
Airline ticket prices surge by 20-25% due to Vistara challenges and increased travel demand Travellers will have to shell out more for domestic flights this summer season, with airfares surging 20-25 per cent amid Vistara flight cancellations and strong air travel demand, according to industry experts. At a time when peak summer travel period is round the corner, the airline industry is grappling with challenges in scaling up capacity to match demand and are even using larger aircraft on domestic routes. Faced with pilot woes, Vistara has cut 25-30 flights daily or 10 per cent of its total capacity, a development that comes when the country's airline industry is already operating with reduced number of aircraft due to the bankruptcy of Go First and grounding of over 70 planes by IndiGo over engine issues. An analysis by travel portal ixigo showed that spot fares on certain routes jumped up to 39 per cent during the April 1-7 period compared to March 1-7 period. During the given period, the one way spot fares for Delhi-Bengaluru flights climbed 39 per cent, while it rose 30 per cent for Delhi-Srinagar flights. The rise was 12 per cent for Delhi-Mumbai services and 8 per cent in case of Mumbai-Delhi services, as per the analysis. Bharatt Malik, Senior VP - Air and Hotel Business at travel portal Yatra Online, said the anticipated average airfare surge in the current summer schedule, encompassing both domestic and international routes, is projected to range between 20-25 per cent. ''Vistara's decision to reduce flights by 10 per cent has affected ticket prices on major domestic routes. We've observed a significant surge in fares, with prices skyrocketing by approximately 20-25 per cent across key routes such as Delhi-Goa, Delhi-Kochi, Delhi-Jammu, and Delhi-Srinagar,'' Malik said. He also said that one of the key reasons for the higher airfares is reduction in flight operations by Vistara and added that escalating fuel costs as well as a heightened demand for summer travel has further contributed to the increase. Vistara is to operate more than 300 flights daily in the ongoing summer schedule that started on March 31. ''We are carefully scaling back our operations by around 25-30 flights per day, i.e. roughly 10 per cent of the capacity we were operating. This will take us back to the same level of flight operations as at the end of February 2024, and provide the much-needed resilience and buffer in the rosters,'' Vistara said in a statement on Sunday. ixigo said spot fares have surged by 20-25 per cent on some routes due to rising demand before the peak summer travel season and some flight cancellations. ''However, this is a temporary disruption caused by last-minute flight cancellations and fares should stabilise in a few weeks as soon as flight schedules normalise,'' it said. Jagannarayan Padmanabhan, Senior Director and Global Head, Transport, Mobility, and Logistics Consulting at CRISIL Market Intelligence and Analytics, said the impact of higher airfares on travellers is expected to be substantial. ''As we enter the busy season, we anticipate a 5-7 per cent increase in airfare, with pricing pressure particularly notable on trunk routes like Delhi-Mumbai and Mumbai-Bengaluru. Given that much of the upcoming travel will be for personal reasons and with family, the impact is expected to be substantial. ''Consequently, a considerable number of travellers might choose rail travel for shorter distances instead,'' he noted. According to Malik, flights to popular domestic destinations like Ladakh, Manali and Goa have seen a 20 per cent uptick in prices, reflecting a surge in demand for both staycations and seasonal getaways. Vistara has a fleet of 70 planes comprising 63 aircraft from A320 family and 7 wide-body Boeing 787s. Further, the carrier has deployed larger aircraft like B787-9 Dreamliner and A321 neo on select domestic routes to combine flights or accommodate more customers. In the ongoing summer schedule, Vistara will be operating 25.22 per cent more weekly flights at 2,324. Indian airlines will operate a total of 24,275 weekly domestic flights during the summer schedule starting from March 31, a nearly 6 per cent increase compared to the year-ago period. The number of weekly departures is just 2.30 per cent higher as against 23,732 flights being operated by the scheduled carriers in the winter schedule that ended on March 30, according to aviation regulator DGCA. IndiGo, Air India and Vistara will operate more flights while SpiceJet will reduce departures during the 2024 summer schedule that spans from March 31 to October 26.
