Hello, There beautiful people, I hope each one of you feels great tonight, (And why not, its weekend already) and well here I am again before you guys sharing yet another look I created with a midi skirt and a very hot top from one of my fav brands.
So life has not been very forgiving for past weeks. With being a blogger, you don't just write, there is an altogether. There's always a new set of responsibilities you have to carry with yourself. From the outside, it obviously looks like a really fun job, where you just buy clothes, get ready and shoot and all kinds of pretty stuff, post fancy pictures and write a few words on it. But it's way more than just that. You have the pressure of guiding people, sharing your take on fashion and beauty that could make a way into their daily lifestyle. From being told, "All you do is look pretty, pose, get pictures clicked and post" or even "You've got such a comfortable and nice life?" and so on. To be honest As a blogger, I play multiple roles. In all honesty, my blog is my business, and it isn't all rainbows and unicorns. Anyways, If you happen to follow me on Instagram, you'd probably by now have some idea about where was I lost all this time 😀 AND OH! To add to my misery, in all this time I had forgotten my passwords and was struggling hard to get them back somehow. Yea, you got it right Short memory loss. haha. Nevertheless, I am here again, (Well hello) writing for all you wonderful, incredible, amazing and beautiful people who have given me so much love and support which I don't know if I deserve. I just love you guys to a little too much.
Now, without wasting another sec, let's get to the look
I have always wanted a midi skirt and I finally got on my hands on one randomly strolling through sale at LimeLight. Paired it up with a very hot black top that I picked up from Mango which I instantly fell in love with, took a leather jacket because why not. Also, Leather jacket adds a very classy and quirky effect to your outfits. Heels from H&M and Not to forget, wore a wristwatch to complete the entire look.
I have a good news for you guys here! Have collaborated with a few good brands recently and Daniel Wellington. Daniel Wellington was kind enough to provide me with a discount code for my followers! CODE: DWZAHRA15. You can use this code to get 15% off on the entire site 🙂
Hope you guys enjoyed this post! I know This post was long due and I am very sorry for the super late update. Also, I have already worked on another one so yea it's coming soon as well.
A big shout out to Ramshaa's Photo Works for clicking these beautiful shots! Don't forget to check out her page 🙂

Can Family History Doom You to a Future of Gum Disease or Other Oral Diseases?
Browse the Mayo Clinic's online entry for almost any health condition or disease, and you'll likely see "family history" listed among the risk factors.
Using the whole of human history as a case study, medical researchers have conclusively determined that genetics play an important role in whether someone is predisposed to developing certain serious health problems.
But is that true when it comes to gum disease, periodontal disease, and other oral diseases? Could it be that, no matter how much we floss, brush, and swish, some of us are genetically predestined for poor oral hygiene?
Let's look at the latest in what we know.
Are Cavities Genetic?
According to the American Dental Association (ADA), cavities is a "complex disease" with multiple risk factors, both genetic and environmental in nature.
So yes, dental genetics do play a role.
While the science in this area is relatively young and still developing, research has suggested that some people's teeth may be more likely to develop cavities than others based on the genes they inherit.
Researchers emphasize, however, that there probably isn't a single gene that causes cavities. Rather, it is likely that the risk of cavities increases with certain "gene-environment interactions."
Is Gum Disease Genetic?
Your DNA may play a role in whether you get gum disease or periodontal disease, too.
"Research has indicated that some people may be genetically susceptible to gum disease," notes the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP).
"Despite aggressive oral care habits, these people may be more likely to develop periodontal disease. Identifying these people with a genetic test before they even show signs of the disease and getting them into early intervention treatment may help them keep their teeth for a lifetime."
If Oral Conditions Are Genetic, Why Can't We Predict Them with a DNA Test?
The AAP is right. If we could easily identify people who are genetically at risk for oral health issues like gum disease, we could save countless people's teeth and save the dental patients — and the dental care industry at large — untold dollars.
We could also put people's minds at ease early on. The idea that some people could develop periodontal disease "despite aggressive oral care habits" is deeply unsettling. These people may benefit from more frequent dental examination, as well as advanced treatments and therapies.
Unfortunately, genetic tests aren't always as easy as a 23andMe mail-in. We are still learning about the complex ways that one's dental genetic makeup might trigger the development of disease.
Notes the ADA, "a predictive test for cavities or for periodontal disease does not currently exist" because "both of these are complex diseases with multiple gene and environmental risk factors."
Moreover, "no gene to date has been identified that has as large an impact on periodontal disease as do environmental influences, such as smoking or diabetes."
Still, work on just such a test is underway. Scientists envision a future where many of the world's most damaging and pervasive health conditions — including cavities and gum disease — are identifiable early, even before they begin to develop, with the studying of genetic dental disorders gum disease genetics.
Can You Inherit Oral Cancer?
A 2007 study found that, at least among Indian men, certain genes made tobacco users more likely to develop oral cancer (compared to tobacco users in the same population who didn't have those genes).
Those findings suggested that, while oral cancer isn't "inheritable" per se, a predisposition for developing oral cancer in the presence of certain environmental factors (chewing tobacco, for example) is inheritable.
This echoes the ADA's suspicion that oral disease is determined by a concurrence of genetic and environmental factors.
Incidentally, oral cancer is on the rise in the United States. Many dentist offices now include oral cancer screenings as part of a routine dental exam, often at very low cost or even for free.
While oral cancer screenings cannot predict oral cancer in the way that a DNA test might someday, they often allow dentists to spot oral cancer before symptoms become apparent. That's important because oral cancer is highly treatable in its earliest stages but can prove deadly if discovered too late.
Other Risk Factors Matter More
While the discussion about oral conditions caused by genetics is all very fascinating — and while it may someday transform dental health care as we know it — we want to emphasize that the choices you make are more important than the genes you might have.
The most important risk factors for developing gum disease are:
- Poor oral hygiene
- High stress levels
- Clenching or grinding teeth
- Drinking tea, sodas, or other sugary products that damage enamel
- Poor nutrition
- Illegal drug use
- Systemic diseases (e.g. heart disease, diabetes, etc.)
- Weakened immune systems & certain autoimmune conditions
- Use of certain prescription medications
- Advancing age
Whatever your DNA might look like under a microscope, the power is ultimately in your hands. See your dentist regularly, brush and floss like you're supposed to, and take care of any oral health problems before they get worse.

This card features one of my favorite bunny images. I water-colored this cute guy from The Cat's Pajamas' Aye, Aye Captain stamp set. I used the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch by utilizing some pattern paper. Using some dies, I created a porthole to showcase the bunny. I added some Ranger Enamel Dot Accents to finish it off.
Thanks for stopping by!

As down the stage again,
With Spanish hat and plumes, and gait inimitable,
Back from the fading lessons of the past, I'd call, I'd tell and own,
How much from thee! the revelation of the singing voice from thee!
(So firm—so liquid-soft—again that tremulous, manly timbre!
The perfect singing voice—deepest of all to me the lesson—trial
and test of all:)
How through those strains distill'd—how the rapt ears, the soul of
me, absorbing
Fernando's heart, Manrico's passionate call, Ernani's, sweet Gennaro's,
I fold thenceforth, or seek to fold, within my chants transmuting,
Freedom's and Love's and Faith's unloos'd cantabile,
(As perfume's, color's, sunlight's correlation:)
From these, for these, with these, a hurried line, dead tenor,
A wafted autumn leaf, dropt in the closing grave, the shovel'd earth,
To memory of thee.

Are you tired of the games? The drama? Do you just want someone to be there for you without any strings attached? Well, guess what, that's exactly what I want too. As I get older (I'm almost forty) I realized that the most important thing in life is relationships. Currently we are strangers, but strangers are merely potential future friends. As your future potential friend I want you to contact me immediately. Think about it, the worst case scenario is you gain a friend. Best case scenario is I add value to your life and become an indispensable confidante. Either way, you win.
I will be winning if you contact me because you will become my escape from the violence, fights, guards brutality, prison politics, racism, and the indifference from friends and family.
Reaching out to me at my lowest point ensures my loyalty and lifelong friendship. Regardless how our connection unfolds, I welcome it.
I do not lie, cheat, or play games. Neither do I use drugs, smoke, or drink. I don't care about age, weight, race, creed, gender, nationality, or your past. All I care about is our future friendship.
Regardless of where you are in your life, if you are reading this, then I want to meet you. I believe we both have something in common, we want someone we can count on. Someone to lean on. And in my case particularly, I need someone to turn to when violence and prison grind overwhelms me.
Please take a moment to reach out. Make my life bearable, and most importantly, make your life more exciting. Take a chance at happiness. Write me today. Add your unique presence to my bleak existence.
In closing, please write me at the address below or go to JPay.com and enter my name and number (Daniel Simms #795743).

This is the introduction post, where we directly link to the challenge corresponding files (source files, submission information, sponsors), start of the evaluation process and the first post for re-submissions for Mix Round 2.
This month we have the chance to work on a Blues production by the Blues Quartett "Moe Joe". The song is called "I'm Alright" and is actually a session recording from 2008. No overdubs, and the twist - no click track!
Read more about the production below, and in the bundled TXTs.
A sidenote for this challenge:
Please, do a proper documentation of your production and pay attention to properly naming/tagging the files. An inspiration as to how you could do that, might be via two old posts of mine during MC014 (post 1, post 2). Furthermore - keep the summing bus treatment "tasteful" - no pre-mastering! The focus of this game is "mixing".
Please take note of the following
- IMPORTANT: It is mandatory to provide WAV files (FLAC bar minimum on low internet bandwidth), files need to be accessible/downloadable, try to work within suitable work levels, document your edits (ideally with screenshots)
IMPORTANT: please use the following naming convention: MC000_-_ArtistName_-_TrackName_-_ContestanttName.wav/mp3 and MC000_-_ArtistName_-_TrackName_-_ContestanttName_R2.wav/mp3 for Mix Round 2. The order of the tags might change in upcoming challenges - though this is up for debate
- It is highly encouraged to give feedback to each other, to share tips and tricks. Ideally, this should happen after Mix Round 1 has ended, to not influence each other during the main competition round
Also please take note of the following
- We're desperately looking for new source material for future competitions (currently mainly the Mix Challenge). Please follow our official campaign. No new tracks mean no more challenges! Please reach out!
- Social Media accounts can be found via the handles @MixChallenge (Twitter) and MixChallenge (Facebook). Please spread the word!
- if you like what the Mix Challenge (community) has been doing in recent months, please consider supporting us.
This post will be updated with the corresponding links as we progress, and of course the suitable thread headlines. So please watch this spot:

Australasian Science: Australia's authority on science since 1938
New books
By Stephen Luntz
Your guide to new science books this month.
Australia's Fossil Heritage
The Australian Heritage Council, CSIRO Publishing, $59.95
Fascination with Australia's extinct megafauna is rising – what's not to love about 3-tonne wombats? For the serious enthusiast The Australian Heritage Council has provided a guide to the sites where these, and more ancient, fossils can be found. Accompanied by beautiful watercolour paintings, along with some photographs, this book provides a guide to where to go to seek Australia's distant past.
Thinking in Numbers: How Maths Illuminates Our Lives
Daniel Tammet, Hachette Australia, $29.99
Daniel Tammet revealed his life as an autistic savant in Born on a Blue Day. In Thinking in Numbers he revels in his love of mathematics, presenting examples of how everything from Shakespeare to Anne Boleyn's hands can inspire explorations that lead to mathematical solutions.
The Science of Navigation: From Dead Reckoning to GPS
Mark Denny, Footprint Books, $42.95
Now that satellite navigation devices offer us a choice of multiple guided paths to our destination it can be hard to imagine how hard it was to get around before there were maps. Theoretical physicist Mark Denny provides a history of finding one's way, along with a background on the physical factors that assist and hinder us in traversing the Earth.
Where Nature's Compass (AS, July/August 2012, p.40) explores how animals face these challenges, this book considers the human solutions.
The Logician and the Engineer
Paul J. Nahin, Princeton University Press, $37.99
Boolean algebra is at the heart of the electronic circuitry in everything we use. How did a system of mathematics established in the Victorian era become the basis for such incredible technological achievements a century later?
In The Logician and the Engineer, maths historian Paul Nahin tells the remarkable story of how two men in different eras – mathematician and philosopher George Boole (1815–64) and electrical engineer and pioneering information theorist Claude Shannon (1916–2001) – advanced Boolean logic and became founding fathers of the electronic communications age.
A Little History of Science
William Bynum, Yale University Press, $32.95
As part of the Little History series, William Bynum treats science like an adventure story. For such a big topic in a fairly small book there is room only for the highlights, and most of Bynum's examples are familiar. However, for those unfamiliar with how the structure of DNA was revealed, or what e=mc2 actually means, this could offer an introduction.

Eliminate gossip? Yes please!
But how?
In Gossip Unpacked: Part One I broke down some of the basics about gossip. Below I'll dig into five practices for a eliminating gossip.
Created shared agreements often start with shared definitions. Guide your team through defining gossip and discuss examples of what gossip is and isn't. In Gossip Unpacked: Part One I shared the Merriam Webster and Cambridge definitions of gossip. There's also a useful definition in The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership:
"Any statement about another made by someone with negative intent, or any statement about another that the speaker would be unwilling to share in exactly the same way if that person were in the same room."
Once you have a shared definition, ask if people are willing to commit to ending gossip on your team or in your organization.
When I started training my dog, Guinness, the trainer was clear: If you're going to take something away that he shouldn't have make sure to give him something he can have. Exchange my shoe for a chew toy.
When we "take gossip away", we need to replace it with something else.
Alternatives include:
When I saw Guinness with a chew toy instead of a shoe (or other objects) it was important to celebrate success and say "yes!" or "good!" When he chose the vacuum cord, I took a deep breath, said "no" and gave him a chew toy.
Behavior generally doesn't change overnight. Of course I can think of exceptions, but they're exceptions not the norm.
That means, people need praise when they're on track and redirection when they're off track. People need tools, resources and guidance for the new behaviors. They also need a safe space to process failed attempts, difficulties, etc.
Whether we like it or not, leaders set the stage. What we ask of others we must be willing to do ourselves.
Often what I observe is a leader that touts a zero tolerance policy for gossip, but lacks the self awareness to know when he or she is engaging in gossip and they get defensive when someone points out their behavior.
It's a sad story, but one that occurs quite often. Leaders have to go first by modeling ideal behaviors, admitting when they screw up and making amends quickly.
When you hear gossip happening, here are a few options:
Be mindful of the "I'm just venting" trap. There's an effective and ineffective way to vent. This response is a common tactic to defend and justify gossiping.
Eliminating gossip is a tall order, but one that will radically improve the quality of relationships in your workplace as well as productivity, trust, connection and so much more! Give these practices a go and let us know what's working, not working, challenging, etc.
If you want to improve your feedback skills join us for Management Essentials or work one on one with one of our coaches.

Brand Faux 'Pa': Fred Thompson
"Hello Senior!" The distinctive voice of Fred Thompson, former U.S. Senator, talk show host, author and former "Law & Order" actor, boomed into my ear through my cell phone.
At first, I was merely offended at being called a Senior — and from a man I didn't know!
But Fred didn't hesitate for a moment before launching into his sales pitch for some Medical Alert device. His pre-recorded voice chattered on for about a minute and then told me to "press 1 to take advantage of this offer."
Sure thing, Fred.
I pressed "1" because there was no other way to opt out and I'm sure that was simply an oversight (Fred's so busy with his many responsibilities as a columnist and radio host).
Do Not Call Registry
Apparently Fred was unaware that my cell phone is registered with the FCC's National Do Not Call Registry, so I wanted to make sure his staff knew they were not in compliance. Considering Fred used to be Chairman of the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs, you'd think he'd want to make sure that any company, for whom he was a spokesperson, would be in compliance with the law.
I hung on the line, patiently waiting about 45 seconds to be taken off hold. Then, after Doris identified herself and asked me for my name, I politely told her I was on the "Do Not Call" list and – BAM! She hung up on me. Mid-sentence no less!
Gosh Doris. Do you think Fred is aware of your inexcusable rudeness?
Fred tried calling me again a few days later. I guess he thinks I'm deteriorating quickly and he's doing a public service by contacting me again. This time it was from a phone number in Michigan.
"Hello Senior!" boomed Fred.
"Hello Fred!" I shouted back.

What The CIA Is (Trying To) Hide
As described here previously, the "family jewels" documents released by the Central Intelligence Agency are full – full – of redactions. On very nearly every page, at least a little information has been withheld by the Agency for reasons, well, unknowable to we mere mortals. Even if their logic escapes you and I, we can still infer at least a little bit of what they're withholding.

– – Welcome to Foxscriptions, a subsidiary blog of Foxsylvania which will consist of short, flash-fiction stories written by yours truly and primarily in the genres of sci fi, horror, satire, and fantasy. Seldom will they exceed 1,000 words; I don't have the time to write books, and you probably don't have time to read them! They will tend to include if not feature at least one animal character, usually anthropomorphic, and will often bear a scientific or metaphysical orientation.
These brief stories are intended to be rather impressionistic, and will tend to emphasize events rather than character. They will usually be "stand alone" type efforts, although occasionally some will be linked to others and be a type of longer or serial effort, especially if interest is indicated and if the creative juices are flowing. Many of these stories have appeared elsewhere on other "furry" websites, but are presented here for more of a general audience. They are generally pitched to a "PG" readership, and are not intended for children but rather for teenagers to adults.
I hope that you enjoy reading these efforts, and it's good to have you here!

Bhagavan Mahavira (540 – 468 BCE) was passing through a village in the kingdom of Magadha (present-day Bihar) with many doting initiates in tow. His ganadhara 1 followed their master with such extraordinary devotion and surrender that it baffled everyone unfamiliar with Mahavira's teachings. Giving him epithets like Bhagavan,2 Vardhaman,3 and Sramana (devoid of love and hate) among others, his word was their nirvana.
When Mahavira realized the nature of reality, to show his abandon and indifference towards the social customs, he dropped his clothes and wandered digambara, sky-clad; his devotees followed suit. It was not just courageous or bold but downright rebellious. For, even now, we shame nudity, we equate it with obscenity and disgrace. The chief sign of our social etiquette and moral character borders around how private we keep all acts we do when we are naked — from bathing to breeding and everything in between. You are judged in the society almost exclusively not on how you actually are but how well you cover your tracks. We don't celebrate nudity, if anything, we dress our bodies to appear honorable. To cover is to be civil is the universal belief. Mahavira, however, rejected it completely. 4 Our civility is in our moral values, he said.
It is, therefore, no surprise that he commanded peerless deference and love from his disciples, that they called him Bhagavan. For, not only Mahavira took compassion to extreme lengths (covering your mouth, so you don't accidentally eat and kill small organisms while breathing; not eating roots for such food belongs to the creatures born under the ground; sweeping before you move, so you don't step on any living entity; not eating after sunset, so you won't kill nocturnal insects who might rush to the fire; walking barefoot, so no animal is killed to make your shoes and you are more mindful of what you are stepping onto and so on), he also proclaimed that there's no one way to realize or approach the truth. In fact, the discovery of truth was an individual matter and depended on one's conditioning. To that effect, he propounded the doctrine of anekantavada, a multi-sided reality or a multi-dimensional truth.
Like in a kaleidoscope, how you see the truth depends on how you see it, if you see what I mean.
Shunning all social customs, he took men, women, young, old, mendicants and householders under his wings and had a colossal following.
Presently, as Mahavira meandered through the village and reached the outskirts, he saw a distraught woman wailing. She was emaciated, her hair rough and unkempt, her saree torn, her body soiled and her hands grimy. His chief disciples tried to form a queue around him so he wouldn't have to see the unpleasant sight of that woman. Who knows if she was just homeless or mad or both. But, this ploy failed before the ever alert and mindful sage.
He stopped walking, looked to his right where the lady had been sitting, now hidden by a long and full line of monks and nuns, and said to Akampita, one of his foremost disciples, "Make way. Mahavira would like to see her."
"Indeed, Bhagavan," Akampita replied, stepping to the side. "However, forgive my audacity for saying this but if Bhagavan continued with his journey that would be better. We'll make sure someone speaks to that woman and provides what she needs."
"It's not befitting of the lord to approach that lady," Agnibhuti, another disciple holding Mahavira's parasol, spoke softly, "she has been shunned and deemed outcast by the elders of the village."
Mahavira peered into Agnibhuti and Akampita's eyes without whispering another word. They immediately understood that their master had made up his mind. Without a moment's delay, the disciples parted and the awakened sage walked to the lady.
"O Niranjani," Mahavira said to her, "what is the cause of your grief?"
"You called me Niranjani,5 O Sage!" the woman said, sobbing. "I am the most unfortunate person alive, every inch of my karma is tainted."
"Mahavira will deliver you," he spoke compassionately with conviction. "What aggrieves you?"
"You are Mahavira!" Her eyes lit up. "The awakened one who is called Vardhman? Please cast a merciful glance on me and wash away my sins. I do not wish to live anymore. I lost my husband and only son to a house fire last month. I'm widowed, homeless, and childless now. Nothing can make me happy."
Meanwhile, the disciples had arranged their master's seat and they requested him to sit. Agnibhuti continued holding the parasol. Mauryaputra placed a small bench next to Mahavira and put his water-pot on it while Aryavyakta gently fanned with peacock feathers and Akampita stood alert in attendance. The large crowd behind him, stopped dead in their tracks, maintained pindrop silence. Mahavira offered the woman water from his pot.
"What is your present age?" he said to the lady.
"I am 24 years old, Bhagavan."
"When did you marry?"
"At fifteen."
"How old were you when you had your son?"
"Think back and tell me if you were happy before your marriage."
"I had a wonderful childhood and a very loving father."
"So, you were happy before you got married and had a child?"
"Yes, Bhagavan."
"What has changed then?"
"I'm sorry, Lord, but I am unsure of the meaning of your words."
"You were happy before you had your husband and son, and once again, they are no longer in your life. It's the same situation as it was when you were fifteen. What is stopping you now from being happy again? The loss of your husband and son is not the cause of your grief. It is your attachment to the joys of the family and your memories with them."
"But, O Vardhaman," she contended, "at fifteen I had my father."
"Only that you did not between the ages of 15 and 24 and yet you were happy. Earlier, you were happy because your father was in your life and later due to your husband and son. You have mistaken them for the cause of your happiness when, in fact, they were merely the source. You alone are the cause of your happiness. The sources of happiness are transient and temporary."
"I seek your refuge, O Sramana," she said, and urged Mahavira to initiate her.
An unsuccessful quest for happiness arises from one's inability to segregate the cause of happiness from the source of it. The cause is always us. When we forget this we look outside at objects and people to bring happiness in our lives. We dwell on our memories, we long for pleasures and whatnot, as if to say, let's at least have the source if I can't find the cause.
In dealing with your loss, the greatest affirmation you can give to yourself is the knowledge that you were okay before you had what you may have lost today. And, if you remain open to the possibilities, you'll be okay after a while too. If you don't brood your way to the future, you will be surprised how quickly life can take a pleasant turn.
avyaktadini bhutani vyakta-madhyani bharata avyakta-nidhanany eva tatra ka paridevana.6 All those in your life today were not there earlier and they won't be there in times to come. For a small span (of a few decades), they have shown up. What's there to lament? (Quoted it here too.)
Maybe you didn't deserve to lose what you have lost. Granted that you probably stepped into someone else's karmic field. Perhaps, you had bought a first-class ticket to be delighted in the pristine alps of Switzerland but ended up choking in the smog in New Delhi with paddy stubble burning all around you. Tough luck. Bad. I agree. It's terrible. But, it's happened already. Now what?
The place you aspire to be in, you alone have to build it. As they say: wherever you go, there you are. (Your luggage is a different story).
A religious man stayed with a family on a farmhouse and gave sermons every day for one full month. It had felt that even the farm animals listened to him in rapt attention.
And sure enough, much to everyone's surprise, on the last day, a plump and cute piggy approached the holy man and said, "Will I also go to heaven if I pray to God?"
"Without a doubt," he replied, "the eternal joys of heaven await anyone who surrenders to the Divine Will."
The piglet sauntered back to the barn all happy and warm inside.
A few minutes later, the young son of the farmer came to say goodbye to the preacher and said, "Please tell me the truth. Is heaven really the place where one can have whatever one wants?"
"Absolutely," the holy man said while packing his last bag.
"And, I can play video games all day, have fun and eat whatever I like," the boy asked.
"Of course!"
"You mean, I can even get a hamburger there?"
"Son, let me tell you," the preacher said with great enthusiasm, "you get the most delicious bacon in heaven."
(Some nervous movements in the barn…)
Piglet or the boy, the truth is that there is only one heaven where unimpeded bliss flows and that is our own mind. Like clothes cover our body, the sheaths of ego, anger and conditioning cloak the beauty and bliss we carry within. Upanishads called them avarana, covers. Veils of ignorance, covetousness, vanity, hate, fear, shame, jealousy and so on. Somewhere, Mahavira had probably figured that the path to try and fit into the mold of this world would not lead one to their truth. And so he chose to shed inner and outer covers. For the one who has dropped it all, has nothing to lose. And, that is a great starting point. Your loss gives you the chance to start anew; grab the opportunity with both hands.
Before it all comes to a screeching halt, the train of life will stop at many stations, there will be delays, even detours, the weather will not always be on your side, the co-passengers may be unruly, even the very rails of the track never unite beyond a few moments at the junctions, and no matter how nice a station, the train can't stop there forever. It must move. This is the wisdom of life: to move along. Else you run the risk of becoming rigid and closed. Stagnation is the opposite of evolution, spiritual or any other. Loosen up and walk away from your loss if you wish to make your journey worthwhile.
What's there to lose anyway? There was a time when you didn't have it, so what if it's not there now. How come it's your loss? You are where you were. Mahavira would have said something like that. I concur.

|The ganadharas were the eleven chief disciples of Mahavira. After the passing of their master, they orally transmitted Mahavira's teachings which were later documented and known as Gani-Pidaga, or the Jain doctrine. ↟
|Coined from the Sanskrit root bhaj meaning worthy of adoration and worship, Bhagavan meant someone not only who's befitting of reverence but also someone who possesses the six bhagas: bala (strength or power), buddhi (intellect), virya (potency), tej (radiance or creative power), aishvairya (opulence) and shakti (energy). ↟
|Vardhaman means someone who's ever-progressive and prosperous. Mahavira was given this title because his followers believed that his blessings brought them prosperity. And historically too, a vast majority of Mahavira's followers were merchants who really progressed and flourished in that era and beyond. Sharp in mathematics and business, the Jainas — as the followers of Mahavira are called — pretty much ruled the commercial landscape of central and North India. ↟

text: I spent years teaching traditional diets to people of all ages and health situations. I loved working with the clients but was frustrated that often traditional diets left them feeling like failures who just needed more willpower or to try yet another diet. I wanted to help others enjoy good health and eating but with a program that would empower them as well- not tear them down. I explored available options and really connected with Intuitive Eating (IE) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) work. Using both IE and IFS together is a wonderful and compassionate way to learn to find a positive relationship with food and yourself.

Greeted by actors with practically the whole audience dancing on and around the stage, I am transported to a location I have never been before. A place that allows both audience and actors to become one as we are all whisked on a journey to South Africa.
Tree is a beautiful play. It screams truth and opens eyes to all that watch it.
Written and created by Kwame Kwei-Armah and Idris Elba, it is like a magical treasure chest of different stories interwoven into one. Inspired by Idris Elba's journey to SA in 2015 after the passing of his father, we get to discover the hidden gems of all these impactful stories.
Tree is a story of a young man called Kaelo (expertly played by Alfred Enoch) who is on a mission to scatter his mothers' ashes next to his father's grave in South Africa. Whilst both his parents were South African – their lives couldn't be more different. His mother was white, and his father was black and although they both lived on the same land, only one was technically free.
Kaelo's only known family member left is his white South African grandmother; Sinead Cusack, who is proud of her SA roots and will do anything to make sure she keeps her land within her bloodline. With no other choice Kaelo must stay with his grandmother in order to fulfil his journey of scattering his mother's ashes next to his father's grave.
But this isn't as simple as it sounds, Kaelo has never met his father and slowly starts to discover how he died. This acts as a harsh wakeup call that sheds light onto life in South Africa at the time and how so many of his ancestors were viciously killed whilst being stripped of their lands.
Although I have never been to South Africa, as a Caribbean I understand how the pain of racial abuse and lack of freedom can cause so much hate and hurt within communities. South Africa went through the horrors of apartheid, killing so many innocent people and causing a whole race to be robbed of all their belongings and freedom. Tree beautifully unpacks this in a relatable and engaging manner.
Apartheid (meaning "apartness" or "separateness" in Afrikaans) officially became a way of life in South Africa in 1948, when the Afrikaner National Party came into power after heavily promoting the racially stratified system. More than 300 laws led to apartheid's establishment in South Africa, including blacks being always required to carry passbooks to allow them entry into public spaces reserved for whites. The consequences of not doing so could be tragic – during the Sharpeville Massacre, nearly 70 blacks were killed and nearly 190 wounded when police opened fire on them for refusing to carry their passbooks.
Apartheid was created by the minority White Afrikaaners out of fear of losing power over South Africa – power that technically shouldn't belong to them in the first place. By splitting up the black population, the Bantu could not form a single political unit in South Africa and wrest control from the white minority. The land blacks lived on was sold to whites at low costs. From 1961 to 1994, more than 3.5 million people were forcibly removed from their homes and deposited in the Bantustans, where they were plunged into poverty and hopelessness. – Thought Co
A theatrical experience like nothing I've ever seen.
Tree effectively managed to portray the complicated relationship between the black and white South Africans at the time through the story of Kaleo's family. His story of wanting to fulfil his mother's dying wish and learn more about his parents also touched me personally. Like Kaleo, I recently lost my mother to cancer and have often found myself longing to find myself without her. It's a painful and lonely journey that torments your soul and causes your heart to form permanent cracks. Watching Kaelo go through a similar experience allowed me to sympathise with both Kaelo and his journey – something I am sure will resonate with many other audience members.
Tree is a beautiful play, with phenomenal choreography by Gregory Maqoma and impactful direction by Kwame Kwei-Armah. It screams truth and opens eyes to all that watch it.
Although I wish it wasn't standing, I loved how creative it was. It was full of energy and emotions. The cast were believable and expressive. The movement was outstanding, and the set was unique. I loved how much audience involvement there was, from dancing on the stage to holding props, we all became a part of the show. All races in the audience become one as we cheer and cry over what we see before our eyes.
I would encourage everyone to go and see Tree, you will learn so much whilst gaining stronger legs – a theatrical experience like nothing I've ever seen.
