An under wondered wonder of the world; in Bolivia.

As the sun began its slow descent over the expansive Bolivian landscape, I found myself standing on the vast, glistening expanse of Salar de Uyuni, the world’s largest nature-made mirror, created by a seemingly endless sea of salt. This surreal destination had long been on my travel bucket list, and as I gazed out at the mesmerising reflection of the sky above, I realised that it was more stunning than I had ever imagined.

Located in the southwestern region of Bolivia, Salar de Uyuni is a salt flat that covers an astonishing 10,582 square kilometres, making it the largest salt flat on the planet. It’s a destination that seems to defy the laws of nature, a place where the boundaries between Earth and sky blur into a seamless, shimmering union.

My journey to Salar de Uyuni began in the charming town of Uyuni, a small settlement that serves as a gateway to this otherworldly destination. From Uyuni, I embarked on a guided tour, driving across the seemingly endless sea of salt in a 4×4 vehicle. The first thing that struck me was the sheer vastness of the salt flat, which stretched out in all directions as far as the eye could see. It was like stepping onto another planet, a world devoid of landmarks or reference points.

One of the most magical aspects of Salar de Uyuni is its ability to transform into a colossal mirror during the rainy season, which typically occurs from November to March. During this time, a thin layer of water covers the salt flat, creating a breathtaking reflection of the sky above. I was fortunate enough to visit during the dry season, which allowed me to witness the intricate patterns of polygonal salt crusts that decorate the surface.

As the day wore on and the sun dipped lower on the horizon, the colors of the sky began to change dramatically, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. The once bright blue sky transformed into a breathtaking canvas of oranges, pinks, and purples, and the mirror-like surface of the salt flat mirrored these hues with uncanny precision.

My guide encouraged me to play with perspective on this vast, featureless canvas. We took photos that made it appear as if I was towering over a miniature version of myself, walking on water, or even touching the sun itself. The optical illusions were both fun and surreal, adding a whimsical element to the experience.

As the evening drew near, we made our way to the Isla Incahuasi, a rocky island covered in giant cacti that rises dramatically from the salt flat. Climbing to the top of the island provided panoramic views of the salt flat and the surrounding volcanoes, creating an awe-inspiring vista that was a fitting end to the day.

That night, I stayed in a rustic salt hotel near the edge of the salt flat, where the walls, floors, and even the beds were made of salt blocks. It was a unique and unforgettable experience, connecting me even more deeply to the natural wonder that lay just beyond my window.

Salar de Uyuni is a place where time seems to stand still, where the Earth and the sky blend together in a breathtaking display of beauty and wonder. It’s a destination that defies expectations and leaves visitors humbled by the power and majesty of the natural world. As I drifted off to sleep in my salt hotel, I knew that I had experienced something truly magical, something that would stay with me forever. Salar de Uyuni had not only fulfilled a dream but had also opened my eyes to the boundless beauty of our planet.

A social experiment for offline matching through real conversation. More disrespect to privacy?

Once in a while, one of these quirky dating trends pops up, and this time it’s the Pear ring. A decade ago, it was “single bracelets,” which served the same purpose as this ring – to announce to the world that you were single and ready to mingle in real life. Pear rings, dubbed “the opposite to engagement ring,” aim to eliminate the need for dating apps, a feat the rubbery and brightly-colored bracelets from ten years ago could only dream of.

In 2023, with a staggering 366 million people swiping left and right on dating apps, and we find ourselves drowning in the sea of modern dating behaviors like exercise , yoga , and gaming , which seem to thrive only in the virtual realm. It’s no wonder that some folks yearn for a more old-school approach to meeting potential partners. The theory goes that if everyone wore a ring to signify their relationship status, it would render dating apps obsolete and spare us those awkward conversations at bars or on Namma Metro  as we attempt to connect the traditional way.

Pear proudly labels their endeavor as the “world’s biggest social experiment,” and while they claim two global sell-outs and are now 90% sold out, it’s still a bit puzzling how effective they’ll be until they gain more recognition.

It’s only on a Thursday night, while sitting alone at a bar wearing the Pear ring, that a tall, dark-haired man finally takes notice – of the ring or me, I can’t be sure. He’s now less than a metre away, and the eyesore of a ring sits conspicuously on the hand I’m using to hold my glass of wine. “I like your rings,” he says. “What’s that one? I’ve never seen one like that before.” He’s referring to my right hand, where there’s an antique  ring from my grandmother. I’m perplexed. “I thought you came over because of this one,” I pointed to the turquoise ring on my other hand. He furrows his brow. “What’s that?” he asks.  

“Especially with the younger generation, who grew up with dating apps, and even for middle-aged daters who’ve had to adapt to more tech-savvy, text-heavy dating, we’ve become rusty in real-time, spontaneous conversations,” explains dating coach Meera Kochar. She notes that this is why speed dating and singles nights are making a comeback. “The way people use dating apps has become unreliable in so many ways, from fake profiles to stretching the truth in their bios. People have become so fed up that they want to return to the basics – getting out there and getting on with it. A visual cue like a ring is a cute idea, but I’m not sure people are observant enough to notice it. In cities, people rush around with their eyes glued to their phones, minds elsewhere, and avoid eye contact at all costs. We’d have to be highly attuned to what a single ring means to decipher its existence at all. And herein India we also have some cultural limitations to express our relationship status in this way or privacy hack in real world”

After a week of wearing it, I don’t feel any more empowered or noticed by anyone. It also seems a bit cumbersome. Wouldn’t it be easier to just open with a direct “Are you single?” Instead of taking this meandering route? I tried it in a bar (with the ring on, although he didn’t notice), and the guy responded, “Sort of… I’m in an open relationship.” So, I walked away. Mission accomplished, but it was messy. “Open” relationships aren’t our cup of tea, but if we use this as an example, it appears that the ring at least makes me more flirtatious.

“Most people would love to know if that attractive stranger who’s caught their eye is definitely single before approaching, so the idea of wearing a physical symbol of your availability and sexuality sounds appealing,” says Adolescent Counselor Gopi Chand . “But it’s important to remember that while a ring might let you know who’s open to a conversation, it’s far from guaranteed that there will be mutual interest. Ring or no ring, people will still have to go through the process of figuring out who they want to date. Despite the complexities involved, spontaneous real-life meetings are a wonderful thing to explore if you’re single. If wearing a Pear ring helps you feel more confident doing that, then maybe it’s worth it for that reason.”

After the initial bar experiment, I decided to try the ring in different locations – on the bus , on the metro , in the UB city mall, and essentially everywhere I go for three weeks. Does it get me more dates? Unfortunately, not. It’s only when I hang it on a chain around my neck that anyone seems to notice it, but both times that happens (once with a male and once with a female), they only ask, “What’s that?” instead of “Shall we go out for a drink?” When I explain it’s a single ring, they both ask, “Why?”

Women, in particular, can’t seem to wrap their heads around it. Frustrated by their confusion, I decide to poll various people in bars, and the female opinion is beyond bewildered. “What’s the point, though?” they ask after I echo the Pear ring philosophy. According to Gopi, women take comfort in being able to reject unwanted advances by claiming they’re already in a relationship, so perhaps that’s part of the resistance. As for men, none can envision themselves wearing one, but eight out of ten admit that they’ve been made to feel that initiating conversations is unwelcome and “too much.” “You don’t want to be one of those guys accused of harassing someone or whatever,” a 31-year-old man concludes.

It’s a shame that a few men have spoiled it for others, I thought  but I still believe there’s hope for a return to the old style  connections everyone craves. Perhaps if we all just treated each other a bit nicer, we wouldn’t need to purchase rings or bracelets to announce our single status. There’s also the environmental aspect – these rings are plastic, and with three different sizes sent to every person (presumably, the two that don’t fit are discarded), it’s not exactly an eco-friendly way to find a date. Anything that rebrands being single as more positive is worth a try, and when all your friends are getting engaged, it’s nice to feel like you can proudly wear your relationship status on your hand.

Yet, maybe it’s time we modernized the most basic pickup line in the book (“Are you single?”) and see where that takes us. After three weeks of rather dismal results from the Pear ring, that’s the conclusion not a verdict. It still has the charm of a phygital experiment.

Reopen Real Kashmir Files of Human Tradition & Animal Perdition. From Kashmir

What is ideal winter wear? A vintage ‘pashmina’ shawl made out of Cashmere goats may be an ideal answer. But a Cashmere baseball cap costs £415.00. So let’s tell the story of Cashmere goats first and later we’ll explore luxury winter brands who sell clothes and accessories made from Cashmere goats. How Cashmere Shawl is Made? 

How Cashmere Shawl is Made? 

Cashmere wool is the material made out of goat hair that can be found in certain parts of Asia, including Iran, Mongolia, India and China.

They can only be collected during the winter as that’s when the goats tend to grow a soft downy undercoat that helps protect them from the cold.

The goats will start growing their undercoats as soon as the temperatures drop, and as such you should keep a close eye on them to make sure that they don’t grow too much for their own good.

Usually though, you will be able to collect their undercoats as soon as spring comes around. Next up just comb them out and start turning the fabric into the fine yarn that is known as cashmere wool.

But what makes cashmere wool so much better than other fabrics? Well, to put it bluntly, it is simply put just the superior product as it is way softer and finer to the touch.

At the same time, cashmere wool is almost eight times warmer than the standard sheep’s wool, which already makes it a great alternative to that.

The fabric is known as Cashmere or Pashmina. Pashm is fibre in Farsi language. Best source of fibre was from Tibetan and Ladakhi Changthangi goats and the process of cleaning, spinning , and weaving into lustrous shawls was discovered in the 15th century and then it travelled across the world.

In India, Pashmina shawls gained popularity among royalty and aristocracy in the Indian subcontinent. The Mughal emperors, in particular, were known to appreciate and patronise the artistry of pashmina weavers.

Pashmina shawls became an integral part of cultural traditions, often gifted during weddings, special occasions, and religious ceremonies. The intricate patterns and fine craftsmanship made them symbols of luxury and prestige.

In the global fashion industry, Pashmina has a unique position with the market value of US$ 2,068.63 million in 2021. 

How to Identify the Fake Cashmere Fabric with the Original? 

Real pashminas are very soft and warm to touch, owing to the thickness of the hair. But they are also matte, which means they don’t have any sheen in them unless the fabric is blended with silk, in which case the label or some sort of certification should mention that. To be considered as high-quality pashmina, 70% of it should be made of cashmere. So in summary:

1. By burning the fibre of your pashmina, you’ll know the quality of your pashmina. However, we don’t recommend you to do this unless you are prepared to do this at your own risk.
2. It shouldn’t be dirt cheap. Remember, the pashmina goats are one of the rarest species that only live in the high altitude areas. You can only shade their fur once in a year and there is only a limited amount that you can shade unlike the artificial fibres which can be manufactured at any amount.
3. You should be able to feel the softness and warmth. They should be light, soft and warm. Some pashmina that has silk blend will be a little bit shiny.
4. Always check the label. It should clearly state the fibre content. It should either say 100% cashmere or 70% cashmere,30% silk.

For those who feel jealous when others snore brutally in your long nights.

Talking about sleep is always painful. Because only sleepless people talk sleep. Others snore.Here are 8 things I do to help me fall back asleep:

1. Avoid Checking the Clock: When I’m tossing and turning, I resist the urge to look at the time. Checking the clock can make me more anxious and awake. So, I keep the clock out of sight and avoid using my phone.
2. Relaxation Exercises: I’ve learned a few relaxation techniques that help calm my mind. One is where I tense and then relax each muscle group, starting from my toes and working up to my forehead. Another is a breathing exercise where I inhale for 4 counts, hold for 7 counts, and exhale for 8 counts.
3. Visualisation: Instead of obsessing over falling asleep, I distract my mind by visualising something calming, like a peaceful beach or a favourite place.
4. Sleepcasts: I sometimes listen to sleepcasts, which are like guided stories designed to help me relax and drift off to sleep.
5. Write Down Worries: If worries keep me awake, I jot them down on paper. This clears my mind and helps me let go.
6. Listen to Music: Soft music with a slow rhythm helps me relax. I stick to something familiar and soothing, like classical music.
7. Meditation: A short meditation before bed can create a buffer between my busy day and sleep. I focus on my breathing and let go of thoughts.
8. Change of Environment: If I can’t sleep after 15-20 minutes, I get out of bed and do something relaxing in another room, like reading or taking a warm bath.

The key is not to force sleep but to create a calm environment that encourages it. Remember, falling asleep should feel effortless. It’s all about finding what works best for me and allowing my body to naturally drift into sleep.

Hemp, a versatile and sustainable plant, has been gaining significant attention in recent years for its wide range of applications and potential benefits. From nutrition to textiles, hemp products offer a variety of uses that span across different industries. In this introduction, we’ll explore the basics of hemp, its various products, and its growing popularity.

What is Hemp? Hemp (Cannabis sativa) is a plant that has been cultivated for thousands of years for its fibres, seeds, and other valuable components. Unlike its cousin, marijuana, hemp contains minimal amounts of the psychoactive compound THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). This low THC content distinguishes hemp as a non-intoxicating and legally distinct plant.

Nutritional Powerhouse: Hemp Seeds and Oil Hemp seeds are a nutritional powerhouse, packed with protein, essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6), fibre, vitamins, and minerals. Hemp oil, extracted from the seeds, is rich in healthy fats and has a balanced omega fatty acid profile. These products have gained popularity as superfoods, offering a convenient and versatile addition to various dishes, such as smoothies, salads, and granola.

Industrial and Textile Uses Hemp fibres are exceptionally strong and durable, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial and textile applications. Hemp can be used to create clothing, shoes, accessories, and even construction materials. Its sustainable growth and low environmental impact make it an attractive choice for eco-conscious consumers.

CBD and Hemp Extracts One of the most well-known uses of hemp is in the production of CBD (cannabidiol) products. CBD is a non-psychoactive compound derived from hemp plants, and it is believed to offer various potential health benefits. CBD products include oils, tinctures, edibles, topicals, and more, catering to those seeking natural alternatives for wellness support.

Hemp in Skincare and Beauty Hemp seed oil’s moisturising properties have led to its inclusion in skincare and beauty products. It can help soothe dry skin, reduce inflammation, and promote overall skin health. Hemp-derived ingredients are increasingly found in creams, lotions, balms, and other cosmetic items.

Environmental Sustainability Hemp is also celebrated for its positive environmental impact. It requires minimal water and pesticides to grow, and its rapid growth rate makes it a sustainable option for various industries. Furthermore, hemp plants have the ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, contributing to carbon sequestration.

As interest in sustainable living, wellness, and natural products continues to rise, hemp’s versatility and potential benefits have propelled it into the spotlight. Whether in the form of nutritious seeds, eco-friendly textiles, wellness-enhancing extracts, or skincare essentials, hemp products are contributing to a growing movement toward more conscious and holistic lifestyles.

Did you ‘hear’ J-pop playing there?

Yoasobi is big name in Japan. Coming from the rich and popular Manga anime tradition, they made a breakthrough on the global stage with their song アイドル (Idol) in 2023. Among the ocean of various J-pop artists, Yoasobi a phenomenal duo that the world loves now! Consisting of Ayase and Ikura, YOASOBI became a formidable J-POP music tandem and with ‘Idol’ with the stories embedded within their crafts.

The idol song is from Ai’s point of view- to herself, Ai the idol. She acknowledges the fact that she has a talent both for capturing hearts as well as telling lies- but thinks she doesn’t know what love truly means. Towards the end though, while the ‘lie’ of ‘I love you’ to her fans is a genuine form of love, when she was able to say it to her children Ai finally knew she had found her truth.

It looks like a lyrical autobiography of emotional life.

First I thought about  writing the shortest biography of Taylor Swift using her own lyrics as ‘psycho data’. Hands, chess boards and a fusion of metaphors; far better than any overrated pulp writer. Startup guys call her their model CEO and content guys say she is the best storyteller in the world now. When we look at her lyrics, it’s an honest expression of her own emotional life; a treasure for anyone who is digging down the Gen Z secret of happiness and sadness! High contrast indeed.

As a digger down there myself, I peeped into the webpages ,videos and finally listened to her beautiful voice and  lyrics on Spotify   and completed an almost successful life-lyrics match. 

Here is who is who in Taylor Swift’s lyrics. Surely it is a Guessip but not pure gossip or AI.

1. “You Are in Love” |  1989 (Taylor’s Version)

Lyrics in Context  

And you understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars / And why I’ve spent my whole life trying’ to put it into words”

Supposed to be about : Jack Antonoff and Lena Dunham 

Why Do Fans Believe So ? Taylor herself once admitted it and in  her own words ; “I wrote it with my friend Jack Antonoff, who’s dating my friend Lena. Jack sent me this song, it was just an instrumental track he was working on, and immediately I knew the song it needed to be. I wrote it as a kind of commentary on what their relationship has been like. So it’s actually me looking and going and, ‘this happened and that happened then that happened,’ and that’s how you knew you’re in love.” 

2. “Out of the Woods” |  “1989 (Taylor’s Version)”

Lyrics in context 

“Your necklace hanging from my neck / The night we couldn’t quite forget / When we decided / To move the furniture so we could dance / Baby, like we stood a chance / Two paper airplanes flying, flying . . . “

Supposed to be about : Harry Styles

Why Do Fans Believe So ? In her own words; the inspiration for the song  “a relationship where I was kind of living day to day, wondering where it was going, if it was going to go anywhere, if it was going to end the next day”

3. “Forever & Always” | “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)”

Lyrics in context 

“Was I out of line? / Did I say something way too honest? / That made you run and hide like a scared little boy?”

Lyrics in context 

“I wanna be your end game / I wanna be your first string / I wanna be your A-Team /I wanna be your end game, end game”

Lyrics in context 

“Watched as you signed your name Marjorie / All your closets of backlogged dreams / And how you left them all to me”

Why fans believe so ? Swift’s grandmother’s name was Marjorie, and she is recounting all of the memories they had when she was a child and her grandmother was alive and the life lessons she taught her. Swift also mourns the fact that she lost her grandmother so young and wasn’t able to fully know her.

6. “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things”  | “Reputation”

Lyrics in context 

 “It was so nice to be friends again / There I was, giving you a second chance / But then you stabbed my back while shaking my hand / And therein lies the issue / Friends don’t try to trick you / Get you on the phone and mind-twist you / And so I took an ax to a mended fence”

Supposed to be about: Kanye West

Why Do Fans Believe So ? Swift references the infamous phone call between her and West and how he and Kardashian later twisted the truth about what they talked about.

Hannah Diamond sings it out;

“A photograph is never true to life.  Sometimes it’s hard/ to live up to the perfect lie. I’m permanently frozen in time” song continues. What are you looking for in a song’s lyrics? Find something different from Hannah’s lines about editing photos and making a perfect picture.
