मांसपेशियों में दर्द और खिंचाव की समस्या को हल्के में लेकर अनदेखा न करें, क्योंकि आगे चलकर यह समस्या गंभीर रूप भी ले सकती है। अगर दर्द पुराना हो और इन उपायों के बाद भी ठीक न हो रहा हो, तो इस बारे में डॉक्टर से जरूर बात करें। ऊपर बताए गए मांसपेशियों में दर्द के घरेलू उपाय हल्के-फुल्के दर्द के लिए हैं। इसलिए, मांसपेशियों में दर्द होने पर आप इन उपायों को प्रयोग कर सकते हैं। साथ ही अपने अनुभव कमेंट बॉक्स में शेयर करें। अगर आपके पास भी मांसपेशियों में दर्द के उपाय हैं, तो उसे भी हमारे साथ कमेंट बॉक्स में जरूर शेयर करें।

Did you know that the crop tops that you wear today were a huge fashion trend back in the early 90s? And then they were completely forgotten for almost two decades! We’ve all seen voguish fashion elements that become viral within no time and disappear even faster than the speed of light. Right when you think that these trends will stick around for a long time, people get bored of them. Well, this, my friend is the story of every trend that ever existed. We can call it the circle of trends. But, don’t feel bad because these elements always come back from the dead like the characters in our Saas-Bahu TV serials and make everyone fall in love with them again. To be specific, it’s all a matter of time and fashion works as a cycle of trends. So, the next time you throw away an accessory or a dress that’s out of style, think twice; your daughter or great great granddaughter would want to wear it!

In this article, we’re going to introduce you to certain fashion elements that you wouldn’t believe were a big deal decades ago! Read on to know these reincarnated flavors of style.

Crop Tops

Shuttrstock

The origin of crop tops is rooted somewhere in the 80s when they were used as oversized workout tops. They evolved into the stylish version they are today, during the mid-90s. If you’ve watched the 90s sitcom Friends you would notice Rachel Green and Monica Geller wearing a lot of these crop tops in the first few seasons. This was the time when none of the Gen Zs, who flaunt their sassy crop tops, were even born.

Chokers

Shuttrstock

The history of chokers is a long one. Many people believe that they gained attention when Anne Boleyn, the wife of King Henry VIII of England was portrayed wearing a choker necklace back in the 1500s! In 1798, during the French Revolution women wore red color ribbons around their necks to pay tribute to those who lost their lives to the guillotine. The chokers that we adore today were once associated with prostitutes during the Victorian era. Nonetheless, the charm of the accessory was such that they were used even by the Royals of this time despite the connotations.

Overalls/Dungarees

Shuttrstock

Overalls were initially made for the working class because they were comfortable and long-lasting. Later on, in the 1930s, they became a popular kids clothing item. For the next 40 years, now they have emerged to be trendsetters. After sticking around for such a long time they vanished for about two decades and then in the late 90s they were back again. Even today, overalls are super stylish and comfortable.

Corsettes

Shuttrstock

Corsettes were a popular piece of clothing in the 16th Century. Since then, they have evolved, disappeared, and re-appeared many times. This time, they are trendier than ever before and they are worn along with jeans, jackets, and even t-shirts!

Hair Bandanas

Shuttrstock

Do you guys remember the “We can do it!” poster? The poster that was produced during World War 2 is considered as an icon of girl power even today.It has also played a fair part in popularizing the famous cotton bandanas. These retro headbands are totally in style today and we can’t get over how pretty they are!

High Waist Bottom Wear

Shuttrstock

A decade ago, the trend of low waist jeans was so popular that the underwear brands would have probably made more money than ever. But today, the good old high waist is back in town and aren’t we all enjoying skirts, jeans, and shorts way above our bums? It even hides our stubborn fat.

Thick Eyebrows

Shuttrstock

Thick eyebrows, popularly known as “Instagram eyebrows” have made their way in through social media. Women must have spent a fortune on brow gels and pencils over the past few years trying to carry these over-sized eyebrows. However, this isn’t the first time big eyebrows are becoming an irresistible trend because they were a huge hit back in the 80s.

Sling Bags

Shuttrstock

If you like to watch the old black and white movies, you’d see many women using the now popular “sling bag.” Once the sling bag era was over, the regular hang bags that were bigger in size took over. A few years ago, the sling bags re-appeared and this time it looks like they’re going to stay for a couple of more years.

Hair Puffs

Shuttrstock

High raised hair buns and puffs were quite a thing in the past and now they’re ruling the fashion world. Not just with buns, puffs are used even for high raised ponytails and even open hair.

The moral of the story is that fashion keeps changing and you’ve got to roll with it. The bell bottoms and tight leather cowboy pants that we now feel are outdated can come back biting and you’ll probably hug them with all the love in the world again. What is your favorite among the trends that made a comeback? Let us know in the comments.

Migraine is “more than just a headache.” What do you do when a migraine hits you? Probably run for ice to dull the pain? We resort to a lot of home remedies to get rid of that throbbing or pulsing pain. Some people fashion their cold compress by putting ice into plastic bags while others may apply a frozen gel pack over their heads. All this requires a little more effort – which might not be possible when we are brain fogged.

The impending mess also adds to the agony! Sometimes, you wake up to a soaking wet bed if the plastic bursts. Also, you cannot go anywhere while you are icing – and that inhibits your mobility. To address all these issues, we have the migraine hat. A migraine hat is an ingenious product created to help those who get debilitating migraine pain. We have compiled a list of the top 10 migraine hats to help you out. Scroll down to get started!

Here’s how a migraine hat works.

How Does A Migraine Hat Work?

A migraine hat or a migraine band is a handsfree and soft adjustable band that wraps around your head. The ice gel pack is placed inside the band – which is also long enough to cover your head. It is adjustable, which means you can loosen or tighten it to target the pressure points. The cold and compressing therapy provided by the migraine hat has a numbing effect that helps reduce pain sensation.

As already discussed, the hassles with DIY ice hats are many. Another major problem with the DIY ice packs is that they obstruct fingertip compression. Migraine hats claim to solve this issue by allowing you to adjust the level of compression. If you have responded well to cold or compression therapy in the past, you have reasonably good reasons to try the migraine hat.

Here are the 10 best migraine hats that can provide relief from the pain.

If you’re considering adding a migraine hat to your anti-migraine arsenal, please keep in mind a few points before you click the buy button.

Points To Consider While Shopping For A Migraine Hat

• Choose a hat that targets your pain areas.

• Check the material of the hat. For example, if the hat is made of spandex (which is a lightweight synthetic fiber), the pressure applied will be less.

• Go for latex-free ice pack head wraps if your body’s immune system overreacts to proteins found in natural rubber latex (as it can cause latex allergy).

• Choose a hat that will contour the circumference of your head and will stay sturdy.

• The cold hat should be able to provide you instant and long-lasting cooling.

• The hat should be drug-free.

These are the 10 best migraine hats available on the market right now. If you have had a comforting experience with a cold compress or ice therapy during your migraine blues, you should probably consider buying one of these. Remember, it is better to seek professional help if you are grappling with migraine. Use a cold compress migraine hat only after consulting your doctor.

Growing up, all that we were conditioned to imagine about adulthood was to get married and have kids by the age of 30. Of course, being able to do that is like reaching a milestone in one’s life. But as we near that phase, the dreadful phase of getting married, we realize more and more that we tend to curl back into a cocoon of regrets, of the things undone and unsaid, before we embark on the journey of a martial life. You know, we’re talking about the ultimate #bucketlist that needs to be ticked off before we say, “I do” in our lives. Often, the deafening brouhaha that lingers around about finding “The one” and getting hitched makes us forget to focus on the awesome things we wanted to do for ourselves.

This is why we think that every bride-to-be and every woman out there needs to have a premarital bucket list. And as Mark Twain rightly said, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

So, here’s a bucket list we’ve curated for all you ladies to do before you walk down the aisle with your man.

1. Make Sure You’ve Knit A Forever Friend Circle

It’s true when they say, “Friends are forever!” Your life can definitely not be all that happening in their absence, can it? Therefore, make sure you mingle and attend social gatherings. Find yourself friends who will stick around no matter what. Find a group of friends who can be your 3 AM buds, find some with whom you can go on those night outs and parties, find some with whom a simple coffee is like a celebration in itself. Having like-minded friends around you will not only keep your individual spirit alive but with them being around, you’ll have your share of learnings and realizations. So make friends and hold onto them, for they are going to be your forever strength.

2. Get ‘Em, The Degrees To Your Name

Academic aspirations are also a part of your life! Therefore, figure out which course tickles your brain the most, enroll for it, and achieve that degree. If you love studying, continue to do it even after your marriage. We’re sure your spouse and your in-laws will be proud of such achievements in life. Because education, dear ladies, is everything!

3. You Need To Get Into A Live-In Relationship With Yourself

When living with your parents or guardians, you’re always protected; you don’t get to experience how your mind, heart, and body would react to situations when you have to deal with them on your own. And marriage, on the contrary, is all about that — the way you will be able to handle the new bonds, the new challenges, the new circumstances that you’ll be facing for the first time. Therefore, move out of your house, even if it is just for a couple of days. Feel the unbounded freedom and the challenges that come with it. Understand yourself; love yourself better before you share your life with another human.

4. Travel: It Provides You With Experiences Of A Lifetime

Shutterstock

Is there any long weekend coming up? Just pack your bags and head out on an impromptu trip. Go on solo travels or go with your besties, but just go! Travelling enriches your inner self with experiences. New places, its culture, its food, its music, its people — all of it is going to relieve you from the stress of life and teach you new things. Get yourself a travel diary or a journal and start writing your travel memories in it. Travelling does two things for you, you’re creating memories that you’ll hold dear to yourself forever, and you’re learning new things that will re-define you as a person.

5. Write Down What You Always Wanted To Do

Shutterstock

You might have always wanted to go on a hot air balloon ride in Turkey or trek to the base camp of Mount Everest. Or simply just wanted to visit at least one country in every continent. All such wishes or dreams, write them down. And then start ticking them off one by one. You don’t have to always wait to go there with your partner. You can go alone, go with a stranger or with your family. Just make sure you’ve done what you always wanted to.

6. Splurge On Yourself

Shutterstock

The few years before your marriage is the time you need to love yourself the most. Pamper yourself, do whatever keeps you happy. Go on a shopping spree. Get a photoshoot of yourself done. Spend time with your family if that’s what keeps you most happy. Ask them to pamper you too. Being able to learn and appreciate yourself will also help your spouse do the same with you. Become comfortable in your own skin first and then rule the world with your charm.

If the marriage talks have already begun at your home, then it’s high time you curate a premarital bucket list like the one above and start ticking things off from it. What else do you think should go on this bucket list? Let us know in the comments section below

Change is inevitable and this applies to the fashion world too. No matter how viral and even revolutionary a trend becomes, it is eventually going to fade off. These trends may come back alive from their graves after decades but that’s a whole new story that you can read about in our previous article. As of now, you will have to say goodbye to your favorite fashion elements because it has been around for a while.

This decade has seen many fashion trends literally “trending” and thanks to social media platforms like Instagram for making them so popular. The obsession with thick eyebrows and nude makeup are things that we got to know through social media more than any fashion show or movie. However, now it’s time to bid farewell to most of these elements because they are nearing the sunset of their fame. Let’s take a look at some of these fashion trends that have been extremely popular in the past few years but are soon going to disappear.

Metal Strapped Watches

Shutterstock

“And now their watch has ended!” Metal strapped watches were a huge thing this decade. People said goodbye to their funky rubber and leather strap watches and whole-heartedly switched to the metallic ones that looked more elegant and simple. Well, the next-gen trend is going to be all about natural makeup and accessories that are extra. So, it’s pretty much clear that colorful and leathery watches with dials of intrinsic pattern are going to reign soon.

Instagram Eyebrows

Thick and well-brushed eyebrows are every woman’s dream today— or maybe until today. These overly bushy, airbrushed-like eyebrows are too much to take already and women are switching to lighter eyebrow makeup now. The new eyebrow trend that’s possibly going to replace “Instagram eyebrows” is the naturally thick and straight one. While the current trend demands women’s eyebrows to be arc-shaped, the next one is going to be all about slightly bent, almost straight eyebrows.

Sunglasses With Crystals

Sunglasses with crystals were a muse for some people until a few months ago but they are almost at the verge of extinction today. They no longer look chica and glamorous but only tacky and cheap. The sunglass features that you’ll have to look for this fashion season will be the shapes of the frames and the shades of the glasses.

Long-Sharp Nails

Shutterstock

Nails were something that people gave too much importance to in the last decade. Nail studios and manicurists would have earned enough for a lifetime in the past few years. We saw celebrities like Bella Hadid and Blake Lively wear long nails to the Met Gala last year but that’s probably the only place we’re going to see extra long nails in the future. Women are opting for shorter and simpler manicures that don’t require too much maintenance.

Heavy Nail Art

Shutterstock

Nail art is a concept that became extraordinarily popular in the 2010s. We agree that they are really pretty and provide a very wide scope when it came to different designs. However, that ship has sailed. In 2019, you’d see very few people spending their time and money on these nail art designs. At some level, they were always ridiculously expensive and uncomfortable to wear but people couldn’t just get over how pretty they are. Well, now the very same people are almost over these “heavy” nails

Pajama Style Clothing

Shutterstock

Sweatshirts with dog ears are cute but they aren’t going to last long. The “cute” way of dressing that showcased tinny bunnies and emojis on clothes and accessories probably originated in countries like South Korea and China. This trend spread like a wildfire through online shopping websites and became a global trend soon. However, it’s not going to last since we are moving towards a whole other fashion era (like always).

No Accessories Style

Shutterstock

Accessories are the only things that are swimming against the waves of the upcoming trend. While clothing and makeup are all going to be much simpler when compared to the trends so far, accessories are going to be the key highlights. Huge neckpieces, bracelets, and earrings are all going to trend this season.

Chokers

Shutterstock

Chokers rose to popularity faster than internet sensation Priya Varrier. From college girls to supermodels, everyone started wearing chokers of different colors and patterns this decade. Even though these accessories crawled their way back from the dead, it’s time to send them back again. Don’t worry if you’re a choker lover because they may come back after a few years.

Shoulder Cut-out Tops

Shutterstock

How many shoulder cut-out tops and dresses do you have in your closet? Let’s admit that we all bought many of these last year when they were at the peak of their fame. Now, shoulder cut-outs are almost dead and we can’t even see anyone wearing them. It’s over people, cover up the shoulders now!

No matter how amazing something looks on you and how trendy it becomes, it’s not going to last. But hey! There are better things coming your way and get ready to be in style. What was your favorite fashion trend of the last decade? Which one are you looking forward to nailing the next season? Let us know in the comments below.

Do you know that your mouth is home to billions of bacteria? While most of them aid digestion and protect your teeth and gums, a few of them can also cause cavities.

These trustworthy and top-rated teeth whitening products will help fix your stained teeth in your washroom. But, the question is, how do you choose the ideal product? Check out the buying guide below to get your answer.

Buying Guide For Teeth Whitening Products

1. Quality

While buying a teeth whitening product, you need to keep two main points in mind – the ingredients and the effect. Look for a product that clearly labels its ingredients and research what ingredients are harmful to your teeth before selecting one.

2. Ease-Of-Use

Since we all are busy with our hectic lives, a complicated device is the last thing we need. Therefore, look for a product that fits into your rushed life. Whitestrips, toothpaste, whitening gel pens are some of the best easy-to-use tools.

3. Brand

Not only functionality, but the brand also matters. Pick a product that offers assured warranties with recognized certifications.

4. Price

This depends on the type of product you choose. If you are looking for simple teeth whitening tools like toothpaste, charcoal powders, and pens, they do not cost a bomb. But a high-end device is a bit more expensive.

5. Pain

If you have sensitive teeth, avoid using cold whitening gels as they inflict more pain and cause harm to your gums.

Since teeth whitening does not happen overnight, you can consider these points to accelerate the process.

How To Get Whiter Teeth Quickly

1. Keep A Check On Your Dental Hygiene

Rinse your mouth after every meal. Use portable teeth whitening products like strips or whitening gel pens so that you can carry them to your office or anywhere. Replace a mild toothpaste with a whitening toothpaste. Include an oral rinse in your morning dental routine.

2. Consult A Dentist

If the stains won’t go away, consult a dentist immediately, and ask for a thorough cleansing treatment.

3. Brush And Floss Regularly

Healthy gums lead to healthy and bright teeth. Brush your teeth and floss twice a day to get rid of hard-to-reach plaque that makes your teeth yellow.

Keep the above points in mind, and pick the best teeth whitening product from the list for you. Share your experience and feedback in the comments section below.

During pregnancy, it is safe not to use any product that may come with caution. However, we recommend you to consult your doctor before using a teeth whitening product.

Ever felt two inches taller after receiving a cute compliment? For girls, it’s a cakewalk. However, complimenting a man is a little more difficult than we’d have expected, isn’t it? It is a challenge to understand what will boost up his confidence and make him merry. Though most men appear to be the epitome of content and self-love, a sincere compliment can brighten their day.

Here are 21 easy ways to compliment your man, which he won’t be able to resist and make him fall head over heels for you all over again.

1. “I believe in your dreams.”

Shutterstock

It is sometimes difficult to understand what goes on in the secretive mind of a man who does not share much of his thoughts. Be the cheese to his crackers and say out loud that you believe in his dreams. A little pat on his shoulders and the assurance that you trust him and the plans he has for you both will get him smiling in no time.

2. “You keep me super happy.”

Little efforts are all it takes to be happy. But have you really expressed the joy he brings to you with his endeavors? Appreciate the tiny baby steps he takes, be it opening the door for you, remembering to order your favorite snack before you are hungry, or just smiling when you look at him. It is very important to remind your confused teddy with a tight hug how happy they make you.

3. “You look amazing!”

You probably underestimated the time he allotted to his perfectly lined shave, haircut, and spa every month. He probably looks himself in the mirror more than you do! A little appreciation about his visible changes like his abs or his new hairstyle, will make him feel cared for and loved.

4. “You make me feel like home.”

Home is where there is peace and warmth. Nothing can feel more warm and loving as being called someone’s happy home. Tell him he makes you feel so comfortable that you are able to be yourself with him. Give him the calmness he admires and let him know the teddy bear fuzzy warm feeling that you love about him.

5. “You are incredibly funny!”

Shutterstock

Remember the silly joke he cracked to bring a smile on our face? The tiny efforts he makes to make you giggle are just adorable. Men often like to be acknowledged for their humor and how they trigger your funny bone. Be around him and let your laughter be the most encouraging in the group.

6. “I love your style.”

Not all men walk around in sweatpants and tracks. Some are aware of which color suits them most and which shirt makes their tummy look flat. They may also take a lot of effort to get ready for a date with you. Such endeavors should not go unheeded. Look at him all sparkly eyed and tell him he could give a tough competition to Brad Pitt any day.

7. “I will always have your back, no matter what.”

Sometimes, all he needs is a steady hand to hold on to when he is faltering. Even though men are expected to be the strong pillars of support, it is very important to let them know that no matter what, you will always be the one standing beside them, through thick and thin. Be his partner for life and see the strong foundation of your relation blossom.

8. “You are the one I have always wanted!”

When we see them do something super cute, we are often grateful and thankful to the universe for sending them our way, but did we actually tell them? Sometimes, they try harder than we think to get our attention and feel loved. Telling them that they are Mr. Right can be the boost they need to take on the world.

9. “I am in love with everything you do for me.”

Shutterstock

No matter how easy or effortless it looks, men do go through the same emotional turmoil women go through. The way he cooks scrambled eggs for you or makes sure you don’t get cold shouldn’t go unnoticed and unappreciated. Compliment him for all that he has accomplished and what he goes through every day to keep the smile on your face intact.

10. “I love you just the way you are.”

It is not always easy to accept someone as they are. Yes, he is not perfect. He has flaws. And so do you. Acceptance is key to a happy relationship. Tell him he is what you needed to be happy and that you adore him and fell in love with what he is.

11. “I really love how you make me feel special.”

We often envy how well other women are treated by their men and take the efforts put by our men for granted. If he waits to pick you up from work, be grateful. Thank him for every little thing he does for you and make him feel as special as he makes you feel.

12. “You inspire me to look beyond the obvious.”

Having a soulmate for a partner is a boon. However, sometimes, you have to keep your horizons open wide and give him the opportunity to express his thoughts. It might not match exactly the way you think, but it will help you understand him better. Remind him that you like the way he thinks differently and how it has opened doors to your ways of perceiving things.

13. “You look really good!”

Shutterstock

Remember checking him out from head to toe the moment he bent down to tie his laces? And you liked what he was wearing? Well, style does not fall from the sky, and he probably spent quality time thinking what to wear, which shoes to go with them, which deodorant would impress you, and which hairstyle would make you go nuts for him. Tell him he looks really good and that you love the way he dresses. Such compliments affect men more than we think they do.

14. “Times spent with you are the favorite part of my life.”

Ever baked a cake together? Or perhaps wrote Christmas cards together? No matter how tiny the work you both engage in, it is always fun when you do it as partners. Tell him that times spent with him are your best memories.

15. “You are so easy to talk to.”

Building a comfort level with someone is not as easy as we think it is. Opening up to someone is even more challenging. One of the biggest compliments you can give is that you feel free to be yourself with him and that he helps bring out the real you.

16. “You are my favorite super chef!”

Men who cook often take a lot of effort in the cooking and presentation to make sure you go mmmmmm… in your lips and yummmmm in your tummy. Applaud him for his Master Chef-winning recipe. It is always fun if you cook together. It is either a tasty outcome, or you have fun messing up together.

17. “You make me feel like a queen.”

Shutterstock

Be it him opening the pickle jar because it was too tightly jammed for you to open, or him holding the umbrella for you in the downpour and preventing you from getting drenched – thank him for all he does to treat you like a queen.

18. “You are a good man, and I am proud of you.”

Remember the time we were given treats and candies every time we did something good? We grew up, right. But men are just little boys who grew long limbs and legs (lol). It is your duty to pat the big boy every now and then and tell him what a good boy he is and that he makes you super proud.

19. “I trust you – completely.”

Trust is the foundation of any relationship. Tell him you trust his values and choices in life. Compliment him on his judgment and decision-making abilities. Make him aware that you look up to him for sound advice on anything concerning your life or relationship.

20. “You have changed my life for the best.”

Self-doubt is more hazardous for your man than you thought it was. The tiny person inside the big man can lock himself up completely if he feels he is not good enough for you. Tell him how important he is to you and how he has changed your life for the best, and he will probably let the tiny little human inside him free again.

21. “I love hanging out with you – even if we are doing nothing.”

Shutterstock

Remind him that his company is the best gift he could give you. Let him know that you would rather stay up cuddled beside him than go to the most exciting place with anyone else. Tell him that you cherish every moment spent with him, even if you are doing mundane, everyday tasks.

Make your guy feel like a hero sent right out of the Marvel universe, and he is bound to blush and give you the cheeky kiss that you love so much. Keep him happy with compliments and see how the big boy welcomes you deep in his heart with open arms. It is as important for him to feel pampered and appreciated as it is for you. So, give him some much needed TLC, and watch him melt.

Remember, it is important to always be careful before experimenting with skin acids and chemical peels. Not all acids will suit your skin, and that’s why a patch test is recommended. Chemical peels and skin acids increase the sun sensitivity of the skin, so using SPF and sun protection is non-negotiable. Also, if you are new to chemical exfoliation, it is better to consult a dermatologist and then go ahead with it.

Love knows no bounds — this thought, while deeply philosophical and poignant, is also quite removed from reality. For the world which we inhabit, this abstract idea of love is chained and governed by cold, material reality. The reality of class, caste, religion, and yes, gender too.

But the heart wants what it wants, right?

The month of June is celebrated as the Pride Month in the memory of the Stonewall Riots that took place in New York, USA, in June 1969. These riots sprung from a spontaneous act of rebellion against the systemic harassment of the members of the gay, and lesbian community, by the police. Till then, the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) community remained divided into factions and lived in relative obscurity. But these riots helped them unite as a cohesive unit and thus, was born the active current of LGBTQ activism (where Q stands for queer). In many official and unofficial historical accounts of the LGBTQ movement, this moment is seen as the one where the gay and lesbian community gained a political identity (1).

This alternative bit of history is still a part of mainstream considering it happened in a developed nation, but what about the 2nd most populous nation in the world, India? As we mark the end of the Pride Month, let us take a look at India’s own coming out of the closet.

India’s Rainbow: Existing In The Imaginative

rupinderkw_ / Instagram

Since the early days of the Indian society, ordinary Indian citizens who identified as homosexuals or those who acknowledged them to exist, tried their best to remain in the shadows, but every now and then, they would venture into the collective imagination through a mention in books, or poetry.

In 1942, the publication of Urdu writer Ismat Chughtai’s short story, Lihaaf, led to an obscenity trial wherein Chughtai was asked to apologize for her depiction of a relationship between two women as seen through the eyes of a young girl (2). Though she did end up winning the case, the story made her (in) famous as a provocative writer of corrupt books.

micandmanch / Instagram

From then, till the early 90s, depictions of homosexuality were attempted by a few brave writers, still the society at large remained uncomfortable talking about the issue, branding it immoral and corrupt (3).

The Opening Of The Closet

feminismismagic / Instagram

India’s own Stonewall moment came almost two decades after the original one. On August 11, 1992, a few protesters from an organization called AIDS Bhedbhav Virodhi Andolan, (ABVA), decided to block the entrance of Police Headquarters in Delhi to protest the arrest of several men on the suspicion of homosexuality (4).

The organization also laid the foundation for the repeal of the outmoded Section 377, which punished anyone who had voluntary carnal intercourse against the order of man with any man, woman, or animal.

Not only was this law used as a tool to oppress and terrorize members of the LGBTQ community, but its archaic phrasing also rendered certain sexual acts between consenting heteronormative couples as illegal! Needless to say, it had no place in modern India.

In 2001, the NGO Naz Foundation filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in Delhi High Court to make homosexual intercourse legal. After a prolonged legal battle of 8 years, in 2009, Delhi High Court decriminalized homosexual acts, terming the section 377 as violative of the basic rights as given in the Constitution, but this decision was overruled by the Supreme Court in 2013 (5). Finally, after a number of walk-backs and debates on the constitutionality of the law, the Supreme Court finally legalized homosexual acts by partially striking down section 377, in September 2018 (6).

Though the credit for this landmark victory goes to these foundations, and a few eminent private citizens who mobilized support to fight the good fight, one can’t ignore those countless ordinary individuals who braved moral policing and contempt of the society by participating in freedom marches and pride parades. India’s first pride parade was held as early as 1999, in Kolkata, when 15 LGBTQ activists took part in Kolkata Friendship Walk (7). This tradition was adopted by other cities of the country which soon went on to host their own Pride parades.

Abolition Of Article 377: Towards A More Inclusive Future

officialhumansofbombay / Instagram

Though its neighbors like Taiwan have taken more radical steps such as legalizing same-sex marriage, India’s still testing the waters. But one thing is sure, the change is coming and for a lot of members of the LGBTQ community, there’s a rainbow at the end of the tunnel.

This can be evident from the fact that public personages like the athlete Duttee Chand, had no inhibition in announcing her sexual orientation to the world. And why would she, when she had such a strong community to support her (8).

More and more, acceptance is becoming the norm. It’s true that society fears what it does not understand, and now, the Indian society is collectively making an effort to understand its much-maligned faction. Stories of individuals who were accepted by their families, who are encouraged to be themselves unapologetically are increasing in numbers. Social media projects like Humans of Bombay are replete with them.

Popular media too has left behind its crude, mocking ways and is trying to portray the rich inner life of this section of the society without reducing them to cruel stereotypes.

It wouldn’t be right to say that everyone is free to love in this, post-377 India, but yes, they are no longer deemed criminals for loving someone who is of the same sex.

So, yes, with each passing day, India is surely but certainly making its way out of the closet.

You face such issues because you and most of us out there think that the same basic undie goes well with all our outfits.

Don’t we wear and buy bras according to our outfits? The T-shirt bra for T-shirts, a plunge bra for dresses that have a deeper neckline, a sports bra for our gym and training sessions — they are all different! Just like our bras, we need to wear different undies as well. To be able to do that, we need to be aware of the different types of innerwear. Let’s get educated now!

1. Knowing Your Right Bra Size

A major chunk of women out there wear bras of incorrect sizes. This issue might not seem that serious, but it sure is a significant one. Wearing a wrong-sized bra can lead to scarring and sagging of your breasts. Wearing bras that are too tight can be painful, it can also hurt your muscles. And if you ignore this and still continue wearing them, then it can also cause stress to your shoulder, neck, and back. All these contribute to the wrong body posture. Therefore, be careful about the size of the innerwear you pick. Measure your under-bust and over-bust to pick the right sized bra.

2. Your Overwhelming Love For Thongs Is Not Good

They are indeed lovely and are most preferred by both your partner and you for those special nights. They come in handy when you want to wear a bodycon dress as well. But, wearing thongs for a long interval or regularly can cause many issues. Wearing thongs causes friction in your delicate genital areas. This can cause rashes and might also lead to infections. So beware! And wear them as less often as possible and for shorter durations.

3. Just Let Go Off Your Favorite Bras

We always have these favorite clothing obsession, we never let go of it even when it doesn’t fit us right anymore. We know, certain bras have been our best friend, but they cannot be our BFF for sure! Replacing an old bra with a new one every 6-8 months is a must. Because after a certain period of time, the bands of the bra, or the cups of the bra will longer be able to support your boobies.

4. Keep Your Innerwear Happy

The rule is simple — keep your innerwear happy if you want them to keep you happy! The golden trick here to do this is to always store them in a separate drawer away from the rest of your clothing. And cover them with a piece of cloth or paper. Here are three don’t that you need to consider:

• Don’t wash them in hot water
• Don’t bleach them
• Don’t dry them in sunlight

5. Always Change Into New Innerwear After Workouts

Make it a point to do this immediately after your workout session. In fact, we recommend that you take a nice shower and then change into a new bra and underwear. If you continue to wear the same innerwear, the discharge and sweat might give way to a wide array of infections.

6. What’s The Best Fabric

Shutterstock

Laces, satin, silk, all these different kinds of fabrics sure are alluring and appealing. It can turn your partner and you on and can lead to a very beautiful night. But cotton is considered as the best fabric when it comes to underwear. Cotton is a fabric that helps your skin breathe through. It also keeps infections and germs at bay.

7. Good Underwear And Bad Underwear

Shutterstock

Know the difference! Underwear which is clean, fresh, dry, and perfect-fitting makes it to the ‘good underwear’ category. The ones which are smelly and do not stretch right and wet make it to the ‘bad underwear’ category. Always go for the good ones and stay away from the bad ones. It will keep your privates happy and healthy.

8. Just Ditch It!

You can always go commando once in a while. Your privates deserve that freedom! Just make sure you don’t wear too tight or loose clothes. We think nights are the best time to go on commando mode. #justsaying!

All these gyan sure does call for some ‘right’ lingerie shopping, doesn’t it? So remember these points and keep your privates neat and dodge all the unnecessary infections which can get critical in the long run. Do you have anything to add here? Leave them in the comments below.

Back pain is something that most of us would have experienced at least once in our lifetime. If your job demands you to sit in front of a laptop for eight to nine hours, chances are that you’re best friends with back pain. It becomes one of the most important reasons why IT professionals and other desk job people miss their work and spend a fortune at the doctor’s clinic. The symptoms of back pain include shooting pains that go up and down your back, pain that radiates down to your leg, and pain that elevates with bending, walking, standing, or lifting.

Not all of us experience the same kind of back pain because the reasons behind the pain are often different. Very often, the way we sleep can be the culprit that triggers back pain. This is why it is vital to know the right kind of sleeping position to go for when you’re experiencing the pain. In this article, we will help you learn about the different positions that you should sleep in according to the type of back pain you’re experiencing. Read on to know more.

Neck And Upper Back Pain

Poor posture and straining of muscles by looking down at something for too long can be the reason for your neck and upper back pain. Sleeping on your back with a pillow to support your head and neck, with another pillow under your knees would be the ideal sleeping position for you. Sleeping on the back will spread your body weight evenly and it will also align your spine and internal organs. The pillows are used to maintain the natural shape of your spine during your sleep. It’s not really possible to sleep in the same position throughout the night but at least when you’re lying down in your bed or you’re trying to sleep, you can maintain this position.

Pain Along The Spine

Shutterstock

Pain along the spine can be quite disturbing because you don’t know which muscle to rub the pain relief balm on. The pain keeps shifting from top to bottom in the area surrounding your spine. This occurs due to excess pressure on your spine. To reduce this type of back pain, sleep on your stomach with a thin pillow underneath. The pillow should cover your abdomen and upper pelvic area and it should not be thicker than 3 inches. The idea is to let your abdomen support your weight so that the pressure on the spine is reduced.

Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain mostly occurs due to strain. However, consult a doctor if you have a family history of cancer, long-term steroid use, weak immune system, unintentional weight loss, history of IV drug use, or if the pain gets worse even after getting enough rest. If you’re experiencing lower back pain, sleep to your side with your knees slightly bent upwards and a pillow tucked between them. When you sleep to your side with your legs straight, your spine is positioned in an unnatural way and that adds extra weight to your lower back. Lifting the knees up will help maintain the right position of your spine when you sleep.

Pain In The Lumbar Region

The lumbar region is located in your lower back. If you’re suffering from back pain which is in this region, you need to sleep in an inclined position. When you’re relaxing your body in this position, your lumbar region gets stretched, thereby eliminating the stress that usually falls on it. Set a few pillows and cushions behind your back so that you can sleep in the inclined position. Adding a few smaller cushions under your knees and feet will make you feel more comfortable. This position will support your spine’s natural curve, which will reduce the pain that you’re experiencing.

Pain Due To Spinal Disc And Tensed Nerves

You may experience a lot of pain if one of your spinal discs slides away from its natural position even slightly. Also, back pain can occur if the nerves in the region are under too much pressure due to your posture problems. Try bending your torso at a position that’s between the angle when you lie to your side and when you lie on your stomach. Now lift your knees to your upper abdominal area and keep a pillow between them if you want to. This position will help to widen the space between each vertebra and help them get back to their original position. If you’re finding it too difficult to fall asleep in this position, lie down for at least an hour in this position while listening to music.

While back pain is something that goes away with proper rest and home remedies within one or two weeks, you may need medical attention if the pain persists even after that. Also, if you have symptoms like bowel issues, bladder problems, and fever, consult your doctor as soon as possible.

India is a country known for its rich culture and diverse population. The diversity is so much that on one side we have millionaires who build skyscrapers as their homes and on the other side we have malnourished children who die of hunger. And when we speak about Indian culture, we own millions and millions of beliefs, practices, and places that are beautiful wonders to foreigners. However, just like our lives, the culture and practices in India have a dark side too. Diversity applies for everything here indeed. In this article, we’ve got you some of the weirdest things that are exclusive to India, the land of mystery. They might make you cringe, drop your jaws, and leave you wondering. So, read at your own risk!

1. The Temple With The Hidden Treasure

Shutterstock

Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Trivandrum, Kerala, is a temple that is home to a massively huge treasure. Five out of six vaults in the temple were opened as per the instructions of the Supreme Court in 2011. The treasure gained national and international publicity since it has the world’s largest collection of precious stones and gold ever recorded in history! The weirdest (and the spookiest) part of the story is the sixth and the last vault which is believed to unleash wrath upon whoever tries to open it. The door to this vault has an imagery of serpents and yakshi (a mystical bloodsucking female spirit) to hint the danger. It sounds quite similar to Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, right? Well, this one isn’t fiction.

2. The Aghori Sadhus

Aghori sadhus are often seen near cremation grounds in black clothes with long untidy locks of hair and beard. The Aghoris are very different from the rest of the sadhus who follow conservative Hinduism. They are strong worshippers of Shiva and Kaali and believe in finding sanctity in even the most rotten things. This is why they are believed to smear ashes of burned corpses over their bodies and eat human flesh. Some people believe that Aghori sadhus have intercourses with human dead bodies as well!

3. 330 Million Gods

India is not only diverse in terms of the people living here but also because of the 330 million gods worshipped. It’s not just the mythical gods that are worshipped in India but also trees, animals, and even human beings who claim to have god-like powers!

4. The Color Of Mourning Is White

Shutterstock

While black is the color that represents the mourning period in most of the countries, In India it’s exactly the opposite. Widows wear white after the demise of their husbands and people wear white to funerals. Whereas in western culture, black is worn to represent the darkness that the death of the person has brought, the Hindus wear white as a symbol of peace and salvation.

5. The Tower Of Silence

The Guardian

The Tower of Silence or the dakhma is a circular fort-like structure that is built by Zoroastrians to dispose of their dead bodies. Since these people consider fire and earth to be holy and corpses to be impure, they can neither bury them nor cremate them. The dead bodies are left on top of the tower in order to be eaten by scavenger birds like vultures and crows! Even though they are present in Iran too, India is the only place where the centuries-old practice is still continued.

6. The Magnet Hill In Ladakh

The magnetic hill is located near Leh in Ladakh and it has forced planes to change their routes to avoid magnetic interference! Cars and other vehicles appear to roll uphill even though they are going downhill. It is explained as an optical illusion by many. However, for the locals of the place, this stretch of road is a supernatural one. According to them, the road was once a path to heaven and it would pull forward those who deserved it (creepy!).

7. Wedding Rings On The Toe

In some Indian traditions, women wear toe rings to represent their married status! They are mostly worn on the second toe on both their feet and are mostly made of silver.

8. Paintings of Deities On Compound Walls To Prevent Urination

Shutterstock

If you’re an Indian or if you’ve ever visited India, you’re bound to see at least one man peeing on a compound wall in the street. Village or city, it doesn’t really matter. To avoid people urinating on compound walls, some people paint pictures of gods and goddesses on them!

9. Pre-matrimonial Detective Agencies

Shutterstock

The concept of arranged marriages is often not easily digested by the westerners. The idea of getting married to someone you barely know can be bizarre but it’s all decided by the family for most of the Indian youngsters. While some parents blindly trust wedding proposals for their son or daughter, many others seek the help of professional detectives to verify their information and get a background check done! Now, is that smart or pathetic?

This list is just a handful of sand from a desert! There are millions of other beautiful, mysterious, and creepy things in India that even Indians don’t know about. What is the strangest thing you know about India? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.

Body hair is something natural and we all have it despite the continuous efforts to remove them by waxing, shaving, using hair removal creams and so on. And it’s a personal choice whether you want to leave your body hair as it is or get rid of it. But you need to keep a close eye on the growth of your body hair because it says a lot about your health. Let’s start by introducing you to the two types of body hair we have— vellus and terminal. Vellus hair is the tiny, thin hair that covers our whole body and terminal hair is the thick one that grows once the puberty kicks in. Terminal hair growth is greatly influenced by hormonal changes which is why they need your attention.

Excessive growth of terminal hair in areas like face, chest, and back where men typically grow hair is called hirsutism. It is more than just a biological issue since it also affects the confidence and emotional wellbeing of a woman (1). If you’re experiencing this medical condition, there’s no need to worry because with the right medical attention you can get rid of it. Now, let’s explore the various reasons due to which excessive body hair growth may occur in women.

1. Family History And Ethnicity

If you’re noticing thicker hair growth on your chin and upper lip areas, check the old photographs of your mother and grandmother because they might have had it too! Family history plays an important role in the occurrence of hirsutism. This is because certain causes of hirsutism like congenital adrenal hyperplasia and polycystic ovary syndrome are health issues that run in families. Hirsutism can also be influenced by your ethnicity. Women who are of the Mediterranean, South Asian, and Middle Eastern ethnicities are more likely to experience hirsutism than women of other ancestries (2).

2. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

PCOS is a hormonal disorder that affects women in their reproductive ages. During this health condition, the levels of androgen, a male hormone, tends to increase. This is the reason why women who are diagnosed with PCOS also face hirsutism (3). In a study conducted on Indian women, 70% of those who had hirsutism were also suffering from PCOS (4). You may also experience acne and male-pattern baldness during this period. If you’re having irregular or delayed periods while experiencing excessive hair growth on your face and body, get yourself checked for PCOS. It can be treated with the right medication and exercises.

3. Increased Testosterone

Testosterone is the male reproductive hormone. But it’s also present in women at very low levels. Sometimes, our body produces more testosterone through adrenal and/or ovarian sources which leads to excessive hair growth (5). This issue can be solved with the help of medicines that will help bring back the normal level of testosterone in the body.

4. Hyperprolactinemia

Prolactin is the hormone in our body that is responsible for lactation after childbirth. If you have hyperprolactinemia, the level of prolactin in your body shoots up and causes an unhealthy hormonal condition. According to research, women with hyperprolactinemia can experience hirsutism and they might even lactate without having a baby (6).

5. Steroid Cell Tumour

Ovarian steroid cell tumors are a very rare type of tumor that affects women. These tumors can result in rapid-onset hirsutism, and menstrual irregularities, and virilization (7).

6. Thyroid Disorders

Issues related to the thyroid glands can have a deep impact on the onset of PCOS. And like we discussed above, PCOS can be one of the reasons why a woman may experience excess growth of body hair. This means that thyroid issues have an indirect but important connection with abnormal body hair growth in women. So, if you have thyroid issues, get treated as soon as possible before it leads to PCOS and hirsutism (8).

7. Medication

If you’re experiencing excessive body hair growth after you started taking a particular set of medicines, you need to alert your doctor. Certain anti-depressants, sleeping medications, and hormonal pills with estrogen and testosterone are a few examples of medications that might mess up normal body hair growth (9).

Diagnosis and Treatment Of Hirsutism

Your doctor will check the level of certain hormones like testosterone and estrogen in your blood. You may have to undergo a CT scan to check your ovaries and adrenal glands for cysts and tumors. Your doctor may ask you to rely on waxing, threading, or shaving if you’re just having mild hirsutism. However, if the underlying cause for the excessive hair growth is serious, you may have to get treated for that. Hair removal therapies combined with oral contraceptives, anti-androgens, and topical creams will help you recover from hirsutism and also the underlying cause (10).

If you are bothered by your body hair too much, you can always ask your dermatologist about the possibilities of electrolysis or laser procedures. With the help of these methods, you can say goodbye to unwanted facial hair forever. Also, remember that body hair is always normal and it shouldn’t affect your confidence no matter what.
