Hey Guys!!!
Hope you all are doing fine! I’m back again this Sunday with a purpose to share an insight of my life.
What can happen in 5 Years?
Someone can Graduate, a child learns to be self sustained. Well a lot can happen in 5 Years. One such instance is here…
5 Years ago,
Yes, it all began 5 years ago in 2015. I graduated from St. Xavier’s Mapusa – Goa headed towards a new journey, not knowing what I will be doing nor understanding how challenging the life circumstances would be. But I knew what ever I will be doing, I would be the best version of myself.
Rewind to 5 Years Back
It was in April 2015 when we had a lot of companies visiting our college for campus interviews and we were desperately in search of job not because we didn’t have money but because I have been working all my life, either for a non paid internship during my college breaks or freelancing for a magazine. (For which, my first article payment was Rs. 200 ) My first memory of this was special as I was hardly in second year but looking at my hard work, I was offered a full time job which I somehow wasn’t keen on. Nevertheless, we had a lot of companies visiting us for job hiring.
One such company was a New Local Cable Television Channel, who was hiring staff. I had my interview and I thought I did great because I had already worked previously in one of the local television channels as an intern so I was like I will nail this interview. But I was asked one the most basic question during the interview which I rightly answered and spoke just the normal way as I usually would. And I was told we will call you once your exams are done (Our Final Year Practical Exams were pending and were suppose to end by April End) I still remember that day, I came out after the interview and met my HOD who was waiting outside like an anxious parent – who would wait to hear how their child did during exam. So I told her directly, this person asked me a basic question, And I was like – I will never work in this place.
2 x Fast Forward
Exams were over and we were on a break! Well after that interview, I did attend a couple of interviews in different places too as I was very firm that I will not be working there. And what was amazing was, I got selected in all the other places but somehow I wasn’t so keen on taking up the job, something kept me waiting, like something within me.
Summers have arrived and so has the heat wave. I’m sure we have read several Dos and Don’t about the Heat Wave, so in order to cope with the same what exactly should we do? A major question in the minds of the people.
As our body cannot store water, maintaining adequate hydration is the biggest challenge during summer since there is a great loss of fluid from the body due to sweating and also through urination. Keep in mind that if the fluid requirement is not met, one is also at risk of developing kidney stones or urinary tract infection. There is nothing like drinking a glass of cool water on a hot humid day. Water is the best zero calorie drink that one can have during summer as it does not add calories to the diet as most other beverages do. It does not matter whether one drinks water plain or chilled. Before going out of the house in the sun drink a glass or two of water and carry a bottle of water along with you to quench your thirst as and when needed.
smoothies are ideal foods for hot days.
First : Whatever foods and drinks we consume need to be nutrient dense. Focusing on getting enough of Vitamin C, D, E, Zinc, Omega 3 Fatty acids, good quality protein foods as well as Probiotics and Antioxidants. Woah, too much to deal with? Not really. Let me break it down for you in a simple form, I’m sure most of us love to have Sabja/ Basil seeds (the seeds added into a falooda drink). Well, these tiny power house of omega 3 fatty acids (the good fat) helps in reducing body heat, inflammation and acid reflux which improves digestion and immune health. Including at least 1 teaspoon of these seeds into one glass of lemon water or homemade buttermilk or even kokum juice will be fantastic! Lemon & Kokum being rich in Vitamin C is good, as well as Buttermilk being a natural probiotic to maintain a good gut microbiota which helps in cooling your digestive system. Gut and immune system work hand in hand to protect against unwanted virus. Having a chilled tender coconut water is also quiet refreshing rather then having a packaged drink that’s loaded with sugar and preservatives which won’t do any good to your health. So, keep it low on adding those extra calories from sugar into your diet.
