We live in a world where we are always rushing and running after something, forgetting to appreciate the beauty of nature. “Zinda” is a story of people who feel alive in nature but when they share their thoughts with other people, they can’t relate. So it is about finding someone, who too, feels alive in nature, just like them.
Talking about the song Harish says, “I wrote Zinda for myself, sitting in my room in the loud and busy city thinking about how beautiful nature is and how great it makes me feel about everything in my life. Maybe I was missing being in mountains or the peace that I feel during a sunset. I just wanted to get my feelings out. So it’s kind of personal. But later when I perfomed it on my tour, I could see a lot of people connecting with me and requesting me to release it as soon as possible. That’s when I decided that my second has to be this. Because maybe people need this. Music helps people connect with their own emotions and listen to more songs they can relate to and I think Zinda will be one such song. The song is now out and I have got a great response, my inbox is flooded with messages from people who really connect with it.”
He adds, “2020 has been a tough year for everyone across the globe but in these tough times people have slowed down a little and appreciated things around them. We have understood the value of being out and travel a lot, so I thought it’s the best time to release, not just for me but for others too. I want everyone to breathe in the beautiful elements of nature around us. I want people to observe and value them.”

Roll-on mascara is easy to apply. Buy a small eyelash brush too, in order to brush out the lashes, after applying mascara. Use a hand mirror and look downwards into it. Application is best this way. Apply it in two or three light coats, using upward strokes for the upper lashes and downward strokes for the lower ones. Wait for the first coat to dry and then apply the second one. After applying the final coat and letting it dry, brush out the lashes to separate them. If you apply a little powder on the lashes between the coats of mascara, they will appear thicker.
If you wash your hair daily, use very little shampoo. Take one-fourth teaspoon shampoo (for very short hair), dilute with a little water and then apply. Only one application of shampoo is enough. Half an hour before shampoo, apply two tablespoons vinegar on the scalp, massaging it lightly into the scalp. Apply non-oily herbal hair tonic on the scalp daily, using cotton wool and leave it on. Once a week, at night, heat olive oil, or til oil and apply on the scalp. Next morning, apply the vinegar an hour before shampoo. Include fresh fruits, raw salads, sprouts and yogurt in your daily diet. Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water daily. Add the juice of a lemon to a glass of water and have it first thing in the morning.
Adding amla and coffee to henna may give a darker colour to the hair. However, the natural colour of henna is reddish brown. If you wish to try it, soak a handful of dry amla in about 2 to 3 cups water overnight. Next morning, strain the water, but do not throw the water away. Grind the amla. To the henna powder, add the ground amla, 4 teaspoons each of lemon juice and coffee, 2 raw eggs, 2 teaspoons oil and enough amla water, so that the henna mixes into a thick paste. Keep the paste for two to three hours and then apply on the hair, so that the entire head is covered. Keep it on for at least two hours and wash with plain water.

I started my entrepreneurial journey around 6 years ago with the motive to make myself completely financially independent. I decided to set up my own business and started out with renting a small space to start a shoe factory in Agra called Ta.Ra Innovations. Eventually, my grit and determination bore fruit. I built my own factory in 2 years time and crossed the 100 crore mark in my turnover by the fourth year. For my professional achievements, I have been honoured by FICCI as the Outstanding Women Corporate Director and Canara Bank as the Best Women Entrepreneur.
During these years, I would closely interact with my female employees and local women. These interactions brought about a sea change in the core reason for my desire to do business. Their victimisation in the patriarchal society, the glaring gender inequality perturbed me endlessly. I realised that a lack of vocational education for women was the fountainhead of this problem.
This made me realise that emancipated, empowered and active women, with a sense of self-worth, can change the fabric of society. I always believed that one of the most important ways we can empower women is by helping them achieve financial independence and emotional stability.
When I met Aparna Rajawat who started Pink Belt Mission in 2016, I was pleasantly surprised by her vision and thoughts on empowering women. Though we believed and wanted to contribute towards the same ideology, our thoughts and directions were different. Affected by the rising levels of physical crimes against women, she believed in the 5 dimensions of empowering women, i.e. through physical strength, mental health, legal-rights awareness, digital awareness and emotional support, all together along with the knowledge of self-defence.
Aparna has a dynamic history in the field of sports and has won numerous titles on national and international levels in Martial Arts, Karate and Kickboxing. Our collaborative thoughts on multiple facets worked like magic and have defined what Pink Belt Mission is today.
We aim to strengthen every Indian woman by providing them health awareness, safety techniques, legal rights, cybercrime, self-defence, computer literacy, financial independence and vocational training to prevent sexual and domestic abuse. Along with closely working with underprivileged children’s development and education.
Together, Aparna and I have been not only helping empowering women and children for their individual requirements but have also been organizing free of cost self-defence workshops for girls and women, as an initiative to train to protect themselves and stay prepared in times of any assault. To make women more financially independent, we believe that receiving skill-based training of any industry will help make them more employable and also aid them to become economically stable.
This year in February, our shared vision towards women’s safety and empowerment created a global impact that furthered our cause. We were awarded the Guinness World Record for the largest self-defence session with 7,401 female participants. For us, this is only the beginning, we have a long way to go.

Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) India recently hosted an interesting webinar in collaboration with Experiential Planner on ‘MICE and Destination Weddings in Macao’ through two insightful panel discussions. The eminent panel of speakers addressed the MICE & weddings opportunities and strengths of Macao as a versatile destination for all kinds of events.
The topics of the discussions were ‘Insights into the successful MICE programs in Macao’ and ‘Celebrated Weddings in Macao’, wherein panellists from the event planning industry and the Wedding planners shed light on their own experiences of conducting events in Macao and what the destination holds for the MICE & Wedding sector.
Whilst sharing their wonderful personal experiences, the panellists highlighted how Macao is an ideal destination for the MICE & wedding sector giving an opportunity to do business at leisure surrounded by luxury.
Speaking on why Macao qualifies as an ideal MICE and wedding destination, Navneeth Mohan, Director & CEO, Laqshya Live Experiences-India, commented, “Macao is one of my favourite destinations for corporate events. The primary thing I have to say is that there is something about Macao which is exclusive. For Indian corporate groups, it’s just not about the destination but also about how you can surprise your guest at this destination to create unforgettable memories for them. With brilliant hotels, venues, and great service, Macao has all the potential and is a fantastic destination for host MICE events. It’s a pearl in the East, truly to be explored and post the pandemic, I am sure it will create an even bigger impact amongst Indian travellers.”
Oum Pradutt, Founder & Managing Director, Phase 1 Events said, “What do we Indians would prudently need? We want easy access, visa on arrival, accessibility and What’s most important than that is you need a great nightlife, great conventional centers, delicious cuisine, great hotels, a little bit of culture, architecture, history. You name it and Macao has it all. Love every bit of this destination and I’ve always had some great experiences. It’s a dream destination for any event management company to do an event in Macao for all the good reasons. The people are warm and the city interactive with the option to discover its secrets through technology and games. Macao is authentic, on point, and for everyone”
Continuing the reminiscence of Macao, the second panel consisted of experts from the wedding industry. Being a famous destination, Macao can be termed as an apt venue for weddings, given the logistics, inventory, easy connectivity, and well-organized destination.
Expressing his view on the celebrated weddings in Macao, Mahindra Gangadharan, Managing Director, Neferrtiti commented, “I guess it’s every planner’s delight to do something in Macao. It’s just not weddings but everything that happens along with weddings, when you go back you go back with wonderful memories. The logistics part is the easiest in Macao as everything is so well organized. Popular as the Las Vegas of the East, Macao is an exotic destination for Indian weddings with a blend of nightlife and history for the nuptials is definitely worth considering.”
Macao offers exceptional venues for social and corporate functions, where conferences can be seamlessly paired with networking events, rightfully justifying the destination’s tagline ‘Experience Macao Your Own Style’. Although given the current pandemic situation, there are still restrictions in travel & events, this informative webinar shared some great insights on how Macao can be better prepared when business tourism returns.
