Nilanjan Bhowal believes that it’s crucial from the architect’s perspective to respect different building traditions and see how to build houses in different climatic situations. “We get to learn a lot from history for example, how stone, mud or brickwork is being used as a construction material, as nowadays people seem to have forgotten these materials”, he said. ,Recipient of 40 awards including “Indian Institute of Architects Award” and “Excellence in Architecture Award ’19” at Indo Expo, Bhowal says that going green and building zero energy houses is the way forward ,“I started my practice in 1995 with a vision to create spaces and designs that are inspired by Nature. I have endeavored to create an architecture that respects the environment, varied projects and designs that exude a modern as well as contemporary vocabulary while being influenced by our tradition and roots. My 25 year practice has been towards evolving a philosophy of sustainable living to leave behind a greener world,” Bhowal told Opoyi. Also Read | Atmospheric CO2 levels are now what they were 4 million years ago, “My style has always been minimalist and inspired by nature. It reflects the core values of sustainability, comfort, art, and modernity, all synthesized in the contemporary design forms which are aesthetically pleasing while being organic and technologically advanced at the same time,” he added. A Masters's degree holder in Architecture from Catholic University, Belgium, he opened his firm, “Design Consortium” in 1995 with a vision of sustainable practice and he says that it has become all the more important to focus on sustainability in pandemic times like now. “Today, especially in the post-pandemic world, it has become even more important to respect nature and create a nature-responsive design. The moral duty of all architects and designers should be to focus on environmental sustainability. Its all about thinking Local and contextual because our traditions, geography, topography, climate have a wide palette of natural materials. ,“The key points to keep in mind are reduced, recycle and regenerate our available resources for minimal impact on the environment, “ he said.

Thanks to the growing consciousness and awareness among the newer generation, we now find clients already open to the ideas of green-building technologies,” he said. He says that there was a time when people had a misconception that eco - friendly homes meant expensive designs with low aesthetics. ,“We have endeavored to create aesthetically vibrant designs, contextually relevant across the country, technologically updated while being energy-efficient and sustainable at the same time.

Celebrity trainer Shweta Bhatia, who has a team that helps people recover from COVID-19 physically and mentally with the right diet and light exercise, says that in terms of physical health, a good diet hastens recovery. COVID-19 is highly inflammatory and the damage continues even after you test negative, called Long COVID. The duration depends on the severity. We have to observe patients for at least 30 days,” Bhatia, who manages many cases from mild to severe where the patient had kidney dysfunction and also an elite level athlete, told Opoyi. She also says that in terms of exercise, she has a team that manages it on a case-on-case basis. Also Read | IPL 2022: What are the COVID protocols in place to reduce infection risk?,“If the patient had complications (ICU), has cardiac or kidney issues, we first take clearances from the treating doctor after the patient is stable. We start a graded exercise program after checking their exercise tolerance. Specialized physiotherapists plan the program (Covid rehabilitation). Resuming physical activity is important as prolonged inactivity enhances muscle loss, making you weaker. “Mental health is managed by my team of psychologists. The athlete had to let go of a crucial match and was under counseling with the team sport psychologist. For the general population we have clinical psychologists,” said the 43-year-old who is a trained nutritionist, sports consultant, psychologist, wellness guru and fitness athlete. ,With more than a decades’ experience backing her lineage, she is one of the few dieticians recognized by the Indian Dietetic Association; Mumbai. She commenced her entrepreneurial innings in 2008 with the launch of Metamorphosis clinic in Mumbai followed by Gym and Tonic fitness center in Goa in 2015 and Mind Your Fitness clinic in Mumbai and Pune in 2018. ,Her client list includes Tiger Shroff (actor), Suniel Shetty (actor), Sajid Nadiadwala (film producer) , Avinash Bhosale (industrialist), Rahul Tripathi (cricketer), Vishwajeet Rane (Health Minister Goa), Naba Das (Health Minister Odisha), Priyanka Chaturvedi(Member Of Parliament, Rajya Sabha) amongst others.

For them, Bhatia says that “They have a team of people guiding them based on their goals.”,“The common man needs to understand that fitness regimes need to be personalized. Do not follow a diet or training program blindly,” she said. For her, small dietary changes can help with good health. “Health is always indicated by a) body fat percent. We lose muscle and gain fat as we age so if we can reverse or retard the two, it’s true anti-aging,” she said. So the five tips that can help in good health include:,-Include 1st class proteins (dairy/non-veg sources). -Reduce the number of total carbohydrates (cereal, dal, starchy veg like potato, sugar, fruits). -Eat more vegetables and a handful of nuts everyday. -Use rice bran/groundnut/olive oil for cooking. -Drink enough water to keep your urine pale yellow.

If you are someone who wakes up naturally early morning without relying on an alarm clock, it means your body is in sync with your daily schedule. But if you're a nyctophile, inconsistent sleep cycle could affect your daily mood and anxiety, says a new study published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry. The study used sleep data gathered from wrist activity monitors worn by more than 85,000 participants in the UK Biobank Study, which houses in-depth genetic and health information on more than half a million Brits, reports usatoday.com. Also Read | Misaligned sleep cycle more likely to cause depression, says study,The findings also say that those with an inconsistent sleep cycle are more likely to report anxiety and depression and this trait is usually found in night owls.

As March 18 is celebrated as World Sleep Day, let’s talk about cases of insomnia that have increased exponentially in pandemic times. According to doctors the prime reason behind this is an irregular lifestyle and too much screen addiction apart from stressing a lot and depression that arises because of restricted social life. Also read: World sleep day: A Quiz on sleep that won't keep you up at night,According to a study, people may experience poor concentration, lower productivity, and poorer work quality as a result of insomnia and it is said that the percentage of insomnia is as high as 33 percent among adults in India. Doctor Preeti Singh, Sr. Clinical Psychologist, and Psychotherapist say insomnia has increased a lot during the pandemic. “It has been observed not only in the adult age group but also in children and adolescents.”,“To begin with there is the psychological impact of the pandemic and because of which anxiety, depression overthinking and a lot of stressed induced insomnia has increased. Also, we have seen a very bad routine of people. We have no time to take care of ourselves. Whenever we feel like, we take bath, food, or play, there is no fixed time for a lot of things and we are doing a lot of these at the cost of sleep,” she told Opoyi. Dr Shanu Shrivastava, the Senior Physiologist at Indian spinal injury center, New Delhi, said that “people don’t do anything specific to get better sleep.”,“ They always think of daily routines when they are in sleep and nowadays because social life is completely disturbed and most people are working from home, binge-watching has increased. This is also affecting their sleep pattern. Children are too much on an electronic gadget, playing on mobile and watching TV,” she told Opoyi. So what are the remedies?,“There should be enough physical exercise, ample opportunities to engage your kids or anyone in thinking. Have a fulfilling life on a day to day basis. Engage in hobbies and interests you do other than work. Also, avoid news on Coronavirus and stats add up to the anxiety. Let’s try and ensure that we sleep well and take care of our mood accordingly,” said Dr. Singh. Dr Shrivastava says to follow sleep hygiene. Also read: Wake up! 5 myths that are disrupting your good night's sleep,“Fix the time to go to bed. Also, the atmosphere of the room should be quiet, peaceful, and dark.

Insomnia

Valentine’s Day or week is all about couples getting engaged in lovey-dovey conversation and posting their most romantic pictures on social media but not everyone in this world needs a companion to fall in love with as there many singles who are 'madly in love' with who they are and their lives. While some say that staying true to yourself is the best relationship goal, others think that it is better to enjoy the company of yourself than to fall in love with someone who doesn't know what they mean to you. Look at what they have to say and say cheers to singlehood. Saadiya Kochar, a 41-year-old social documentary photographer, creative head of Studio One Eleven Media, and guest faculty at Pearl Academy: I’ve been in and out of many relationships in my life. The failure of those lies primarily on my shoulders, as I’ve expected men to love me enough, for the two of us. It’s taken me many years to stop looking outside for that validation, love, and respect. But like a recovering alcoholic, I’m a recovering masochist. That’s why my being single at this point in my life, is a gift of love and respect to myself. To look at your past, without guilt and judgment and to try to learn the lessons that they offer, requires effort but it’s worth it. Mandvi Sharma, Founder, and CEO of Tree-shul Media Solutions: I think it is different for different people but I realised a long time back that if I can’t be in a mature relationship then I rather not be in one. It is liberating to know what you want. I have seen many men making work their priority and not being questioned for it. For me, my parents and my work has been my priority for many years now and for anyone to make space in this equation is a task. But why not, because we women have always been the biggest of supporters to the men of our lives who have been achievers. So every Valentine’s Day I wish my mum because I feel love should not be put in a box of man-woman relationships at least for this day. And trust me this is not a defense mechanism. I might be alone but I am not lonely and there is a huge difference between the two words. So there is no lack of love in my life. And as far as a partner in life is concerned... he will come or not... my life will be the same. I have worked too hard to make it the way it is right now. Nanda Das, a 34-year- old who holds a senior manager position in a PR company: Being single is one of the most liberating feelings on Valentine’s Day as it doesn’t give you the unnecessary burden of doing or planning something exquisite for your partner. Instead, you can utilize that time and energy for yourself or your friends and family members. You can also plan out a coffee or a movie date with your bestie and can have a much nice and pleasant time. In times of remote working, where you have an erratic schedule, if you can’t even take out time then also you don’t even feel guilty. Akshat Kapoor, a 32-year-old publicist, and revivalist: Well in a situation you don’t have a partner and are single, the best part about that is the solitude that you enjoy. While of course two to tango is a must-have, singlehood brings a lot of free time handy, which can be used for personal goals and self-growth. Also one rather be single than caught in a toxic relationship; so chill and enjoy till you find your one. And even if you don’t, life is beautiful solo. Ansruta, 25, entertainment publicist: This Valentine’s Day, staying single or rather celebrating singlehood is a gift to myself as it brings a lot of peace, contentment to my life. I do not require love in the form of a partner; I'm deeply loved and adored by my parents, friends which are more than enough. Singlehood imbibes a feeling of self - sufficiency and I think we all should once in a lifetime experience it. Bhoomika Sharma, 22, associate consultant: The most important relationship in this world is being true to yourself, which means to know yourself fully. I am single as a pringle and I would like to give myself a time to do an introspection and while couples are out for a date I will prefer my book and a cup of coffee and talk about the future that I have anticipated for myself. Shweta Vaid, 26-year-old Ph.D. Scholar, Sharda University: Being in a relationship is an amazing feeling but if you are single, that's amazing as well. Considering its valentine's day coming up, it's a perfect time to embrace singlehood and remind yourself that it's not sad being single. It's a society that projects that being single sucks. But singlehood actually allows you to spend your time and energy on things that you deeply love, it's also a perfect phase to recognize what you really want in life. It's very important to feel content with where you are, even if you are looking for some connection, make sure that you are not desperately searching it on the online dating world. Spend this valentine's day loving and treating yourself. Self-love can get us very far in life so soak yourself in self-love and let the universe do its work.

The scorching sun in Summer dries up all the natural oil from our body hence it becomes even more important to keep your skin hydrated. Coconut oil is the most natural form of remedy to keep your skin moist and soft. Do you know even Hollywood stars are in love with this natural skin booster?,From Miranda Kerr, Emma Stone, Gwyneth Paltrow to Angelina Jolie and Channing Tatum, everyone expressed their admiration towards coconut oil and shared how they use it in their day-to-day lives. Miranda Kerr slathers her hair and face with coconut oil, in addition to keeping the product in her cupboard for gently wiping away stubborn makeup, according to Huffington Post. “I cook with it, use it in my hair, it's great to remove makeup ... really good for eye makeup if you've got sensitive eyes. If you have a burn like if you've burned yourself with a curling iron, you can put a bit of that on there to help. Sometimes I sleep with coconut oil in my hair,” she once said. Emma Stone, in an interview with Vogue, said that she is allergic to many things, “so I just use extra virgin olive oil on my skin because I know it won’t cause a reaction. At night, I take off my makeup with coconut oil... I think my makeup artist, Rachel Goodwin, first introduced me to it and I love it.”,Though Gwyneth Paltrow's coconut oil features prominently in the amateur chef's recipes, the actress also utilizes the ingredient for oil pulling to perfect her signature smile, according to Glamour. When asked if she has any favourite DIY skin treatments, Gwyneth replied bigging up coconut oil: I use coconut oil a lot. I do on my face, on my skin and in my cooking. And I just started oil pulling, which is when you swish coconut oil around [in your mouth] for 20 minutes, and it's supposed to be great for oral health and making your teeth white. It's supposed to clear up your skin, as well. Mindy Kaling told People that she credits her mother with her coconut oil obsession. She says that she prefers to use the rich oil in a hair mask to give life to her long locks. Actor Mandy Moore also said in an interview that her glowing complexion is at least partially due to frequent usage of organic coconut oil for increased hydration. Also, did you read the blog by Kelly Osbourne on coconut oil? In the post, she dubbed the oil excellent for illuminating the face, restoring hydration to hair, and wiping the face clean of makeup.

A&E Networks and Lifetime announced a premiere date for the first part of Janet, the pop star’s upcoming documentary, along with a new, extended trailer released on Saturday. Part one of Janet will air on January 28 at 8 p.m on both networks. Also Read: A jury convicted R Kelly; will his music face consequences?,“It’s just something that needs to be done,” Jackson says of the project in the three-plus-minute clip that debuted via social media on New Year’s Day, reports The Hollywood Reporter. Janet includes exclusive archival footage, home videos and celebrity interviews — with stars like Missy Elliott, Whoopi Goldberg, Mariah Carey and Ciara, who are all seen talking about the icon in the new trailer. The sneak peek shows Jackson looking back at her childhood and early days as a performer. “There were times when I just didn’t understand where I actually fit in,” she says in the trailer that touches upon Jackson’s personal and professional life, from her relationship with her late father Joe Jackson and brother Michael Jackson to a moment where her team was approached by Justin Timberlake “about doing the Super Bowl,” which Timberlake was headlining in 2018. Also Read: Conservatorship is just not right: Justin Timberlake supports Britney Spears,At the time, Jackson had taken to social media to shut down rumors that they’d be reuniting on the halftime show stage. “They build you up, and then once you get there, they’re so quick to tear you down,” her voice narrates, just before a headline is shown about the fallout for Jackson after their controversial 2004 Super Bowl performance that briefly exposed her breast. Directed by Ben Hirsh and co-produced by Workerbee and Associated Entertainment Corporation, the project has Janet Jackson and Randy Jackson credited as executive producers.

Harnaaz Sandhu won the Miss Universe 2021 pageant on Monday. ,I do feel a sense of responsibility as I am going to represent India and I am headstrong to make India proud at Miss Universe 2021,” Harnaaz, who hails from Chandigarh, told Opoyi. She became India’s Miss Universe 2021 candidate after representing Chandigarh at Miss Diva 2021 in Mumbai on September 30, 2021, and won. Also Read: ‘Raise your girls like human beings’: Femina Miss India Grand Manika Sheokand to her ‘native land’ Haryana,Before being titled Miss Diva Universe 2021, she won the title for Miss Max Emerging Star India in 2018 and later became Femina Miss India Punjab 2019. Harnaaz sees former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen and Lara Dutta as inspirations as they have represented India beautifully on this platform. “Their aura and dedication reflect in the work they have doing. I also see Adlene Casteleno as my inspiration as she has brought glory back to India after so many years and I am headstrong to carry forward that legacy,” she said. The 21-year-old winner is currently pursuing her master's degree in public administration and holds a strong affinity towards acting, dancing, swimming, and horse riding. She describes herself as a quick learner, versatile, compassionate, and confident, who carries her passion with a headstrong attitude towards achieving her goals. Also Read: Why Manya Singh, Miss India runner-up, has saved a Re 1 coin. It's an unmissable story,For starters, it was never easy for her to follow her dreams and conquer her goals as she was an introvert and was bullied for having a thin body. “Yes, I have faced body shaming and bullying as a child and as I recall those memories from my childhood, I feel that everything happens for a reason. Those experiences have made me realise my true potentials and have imparted in me the courage to stand up after falling each time,” she said. She also has a message for girls. “I want to tell all the girls that beauty is subjective and it all depends on how you perceive things. Always rise above your limitations and do not let any boundaries decide what you will become. You are the sole owner of your existence and make the most out of it,” she told Opoyi. Harnaaz credits her mother for supporting her always. “I have always been close to my Mom and she is my guiding star. I have overcome the battle of these hurdles through her help. She is a doctor and understands me very well. Also, an inner calling is something that changes the whole game and my inner calling made me realised my purpose which helped me a lot to recover and stand confidently in front of you today,” she said.

I believe it gives voice to the aspiring women out there who are ready to conquer the world and are compassionate to bring a change in society.”,This interview was published on October 7
