To most of us, superfoods mean exotic foods such as kale, broccoli, blueberries, acai berries, Greek yogurt and olive oil. Recent research, however, shows that traditional Indian food items also deserve superfood status. #superfood 👇

(1/18) Have you ever felt unable to wake up in the morning and go about your day? Perhaps because our bodies resign to the idea of yet another mundane day passing by.
(2/18) The rigmarole of regular life devoid of excitement and scope for meaningful interaction is what drains our motivation to face yet another morning.
(3/18) Sahib Sarna and two of his closest friends, Shivansh Kanwar and Sahil Gulati were victims of the same feeling that drained their potential.

(1/15) There exists an intimate relationship between the art and the audience. While art is a manifestation of an artist’s thoughts and experiences, it’s the emotion that the art evokes in its audience that defines its lifespan.
(2/15) Art can exist on its own but it is with the company of its audience that it becomes whole.
English writer Julian Barnes explains this aptly as, “Art is the whisper of history, heard above the noise of time. Art does not exist for art's sake: it exists for people's sake.”
(3/15) And much like most social interactions strained by the bane of the pandemic, the interaction of the art and the artist had been surviving by the virtual thread for quite some time.

(2/14) “My husband taught me everything that I know about farming today. I started cultivating in 2003 and now grow wheat, ragi and corn on a 2-acre land,” says Najia, who soon became one of the most prominent women farmers in the region.
(3/14) Self Help Groups and a local Farmer Producer Org (FPO) formed after almost a decade when she started as a farmer contributed significantly to her success.

#LataMangeshkar #RarePic #Legend
1/ Beyond her world of playback singing, few know that Lata Mangeshkar's musical tastes were way more eclectic.

She enjoyed listening to Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Nat King Cole, the Beatles, Barbra Streisand and Harry Belafonte.
2/ She went to see Marlene Dietrich singing on stage, and loved Ingrid Bergman's theatre. She could also be found studio hopping at the sitar maestro Ravi Shankar's studio, where she bumped into his friend and Beatle, George Harrison.
3/ In 1979, she became the first Indian to perform with the Wren Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall. Here's how she later recalled the experience in her own words:

"Around 1974, I had gone to London for my first overseas concert, at the Royal Albert Hall....

1/"Do I miss my contemporaries from the music world? Of course I do. My colleagues like Mohd Rafi saab, Kishoreda (Kishore Kumar), Mukesh bhaiya, & Mannada (Manna Dey) were a constant part of my life. Relationships were not just about work..."
2/ "Composers and poets like Madan bhaiya (Madan Mohan), Narendra Sharma, whom I called Daddy, Chitragupta saab, and Majrooh Sultanpuri saab used to come home regularly. And I’d visit them. We were what is called family friends", she shared in her final interview to First Post.
3/ Asked who her favourite composers were, she laughed as she said,
"If I forget any names, I am in trouble. But I really enjoyed singing for Shankar-Jaikishan, Salil Choudhary, SD Burman, RD Burman, Laxmikant-Pyarelal. I mention these because I did more work with them..."

#SundarPichai #PadmaBhushan #Thread
1/ "My father spent the equivalent of a year's salary on my plane ticket to the US so I could attend Stanford. It was my first time ever on a plane," Google CEO Sundar Pichai once said in an interview.
2/ For many, #SundarPichai's story would seem like something straight out of a movie, a tale of a boy born without a silver spoon in the mouth going on to achieve one of the most coveted positions in the world through sheer hard work.
3/ Sundar was born in Chennai to Regunatha and Lakshmi Pichai. His mother worked as a stenographer before she had children; his father was an electrical engineer and managed a factory that made electrical components.
