"I still remember, vividly, where my Yoga journey began, it was at a gym near my house around 18 years ago in the town where I grew up. The power of yoga was apparent to me even in those very early beginnings. The union of movement and breath along with the deep relaxation at the end of class began to teach me how to switch off my overactive mind and connect to my inner self. Yoga for me has become a way of life and nupūrna is my journey to create awareness about Yoga which is more than just the asana practice." Nupurna Yoga and Wellness is a combination of practices and experiences that bring Happiness. Conceived in the Heart and nurtured inside the mind of a yoga enthusiast, Nupur Gupta (the Founder), Nupurna aims to transform lives through wellness. Nupurna is a combination of the words Nupur and Purna. ‘Nupur’ means ‘Ornament’ in Hindi and ‘Purna’ is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘Fulfilled’. Living up to its name, Nupurna introduces you to the deepest potential of Self Care & Wellness towards generating Happiness and Sustainability. Nupura Wellness is driven by Nupur’s 15 years of Self-Transformation journey that entailed her encounter and ultimate fusion with Yoga. In the quest of learning more about the rejuvenating practices during her early 20s, she went on to discover a new way of life. This is where she embraced Holistic Living and combined it with her inclination towards the softer aspects of her work life (as a Marketing Professional ), which included Empathy, Compassion, Emotional Intelligence and Mental Resilience. Nupur decided to support others by sharing her discovery about Happiness and Wellness with everyone. With that focus, she completed her Professional Yoga Teachers’ Training from International Sivananda Yoga & Vedanta Centre in Kerala, India and began to train others at the Ashram. This was where Nupurna Yoga & Wellness was conceived and shaped up to address a relevant problem in our society- Unhappiness. With her Business Marketing background, she excels in Collaborations, Research and Sustainable Employee Delightment. During this period, she met her life partner and relocated with him to the Netherlands, from where she currently operates. Nupur Gupta was teaching yoga at a retreat in Goa, India when Attila Bosnyak, who was attending the retreat, saved her life during an adventurous swim and that is what sparked a whirlwind romance between them. Their long-distance relationship just like Attila’s rescue mission for Nupur did not come easy. Nupur’s mother was diagnosed with a brain tumor and was scheduled for emergency surgery, and their meeting somewhere halfway between Netherlands and India was put on hold indefinitely by these horrid circumstances, but then love is always known to conquer all. Attila flew to India just to by Nupur’s side during those trying times and his little gesture of going down on his knees with a promise to love one another forever during a brief visit to the Taj Mahal proved to be a turning point in the love life. Despite moving to Amsterdam after marriage, Nupur’s love for India could see no end. During the pandemic, her urge to help fellow Indians grew even stronger. This urge led to the birth of her initiative ‘CSR for India’. Through CSR for India, Nupur decided to share 5% of all her earnings to the foundations and fundraisers working for Covid relief in India via Oxygen Supply, Child Care and Education. Nupur also employed teachers &experts from India- both her and the birthplace of Yoga. By affiliating with Nupurna, they could and continue to generate income and cope with the financial instability caused by the current situation of the Pandemic. Her yoga and meditation programs also emphasise the overall wellness of people. Her core goal is to work towards the holistic well-being of others, making them feel good not just physically but mentally also. Everyone deserves happiness. Nupurna envisages happiness & well-being for people across the globe. She is committed to achieving it by creating awareness about Yoga & Wellness and making it an integral part of everyone’s life. Nupurna aims to generate a Happier Body, Mind and Soul for one and all. if you know more updates from them, just follow the following link Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nupurnayogawellness/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/NupurnaYoga

The month of March is generally associated with students across a myriad of age groups who gear themselves to appear for examinations. Due to the COVID19 pandemic exams have been postponed to August. In some states, the month of August is completely loaded with the various semester and competitive exams. Students are busy attending various exams and preparing well for the same. The prolonged use of digital devices, books, reading, and exam pressure leads to fatigue of the most unconsidered yet vital part of our body, the eyes. Dr Vamshidhar, Phaco Refractive Surgeon, Maxivision Super Specialty Eye Hospital, Hyderabad regularly interacts with patients who often complain of stress and strain to their eyes during the pre-exam period. The remedial measures required for maintaining a healthy eye have to be practised routinely. Dr Vamshidhar, Phaco Refractive Surgeon believes that “When it comes to taking proper care of your eyes, there are several things that you should be aware and informed of. Only a few people actually understand the seriousness of the various exercises and steps that should be performed to maintain proper function of the eyes.” Below are some top eye care remedies to overcome common concerns faced by many: - Long hours of computer use often lead to eye fatigue. Less blinking of the eyes reduces the lubrication in the eye which in turn makes the yet tired, scratchy, and dry. Remedy: Maintain a reading distance not less than 25 cms from the eye. Take adequate intervals of rest (5 to 10 minutes) in between reading for long hours. One can also relax the eyes by looking at a distant object 5 meters away. - Dry eyes due to inadequate rest eyes are also responsible for burning eyes. It is the most common cause of infection and discomfort. Remedy: To keep the eyes fresh, one should avoid rubbing the eyes. Splashing cold water keeps the eyes fresh and hydrated. Artificial tears or their substitutes like eye drops or lubrication helps in restoring the natural moisture of the eyes. - Sleep deprivation due to contact lenses is another common problem that is quite dangerous if left on the eye for long hours. This also reduces the supply of oxygen to the eyes. Remedy: In such a scenario, one should use eyeglasses and try and alternate between lenses and glasses. Students should wear good quality contact lenses made of silicon hydrogen. It is a new material with improved oxygen mobility, which reduces the risk of discomfort. According to Statistics, 5-10% of school children have strained or fatigued eyes just before the start of examinations either due to sleep deprivation or rigorous revision. TIPS: 1. If you are prescribed glasses, it is always advisable to wear them while studying. 2. If you are using contact lenses, do not wear them beyond 10-12 hours per day. 3. Avoid watching TV or mobile games. 4. Practice the 20-20-20 rule. After 20minutes of reading close the eyes for 20 seconds, and then look at a far distance of 20 feet. This will reduce strain in your eyes substantially. 5. Use lubricant eye drops frequently Or as & when necessary. Common precautions and care to be taken are: - Maintain good posture while studying. Never lie flat on your back and read. - The ideal screen positioning is a 45-degree angle between the eyes and the bottom of the screen. - While working with reflecting surfaces like computer terminals, use anti-reflection coated glasses, to avoid glare and eyestrain. - It is prescribed to absolutely avoid read in dimly lit lighting arrangements which will further strain the eyes. As also to avoid reading in a moving motion while on a bus, train, or car. - It is critical to follow a good diet that supports the changes in routine during exams. Plenty of fruits and vegetables such as carrots, spinach, papaya must be consumed. These foods are rich in beta-carotene which helps in healthy eye vision. - Sufficient sleep is also important to ensure good eye health - Regularly eye examination once a year by your optometrist/ophthalmologist even in the absence of an eye problem should be done. Maxivision Super speciality chain of eye hospitals also regularly conduct special eye check-up drives for students during exam time. Maxivision also suggests that if there are any symptoms like constant headaches, redness in the eyes, watering eyes, and recurring pain in the eye, parents should immediately take their child to an eye expert for a comprehensive eye check-up.

Renowned Kathak dancer Mulla Afsar Khan recently completed the Kathak Chilla. Chilla Riaz - 'Chilla' is a word derived from Persian and Arabic language. Chilla means forty! For forty days in a row, sixteen to eighteen hours of riyaz means Chilla! Chilla means consistent practice for forty days which can lead to mastery of art, so practice with a dedicated spirit in solitude is a Chilla. Many meanings like sadhana, Tapasya, vrata are hidden in 'chilla'. Whether it is playing an instrument or dancing, Chilla can be practised in any art form. 'Chilla' is practised with a practised great concentration in the same place at the same time by setting a time. This particular kind of Riyaaj has been around since ancient times. There is a record of Chilla Riyaz made by fourteenth-century artists. Tabla master Ahmed Jan Thirakwa is said to have completed the chilla several times. Whether it is Ustad Amir Hussain or Brijmohan Mishra, popularly known as Padma Vibhushan Pandit Birju Maharaj both have completed Chilla Riyaaj. Due to the Corona pandemic, the words quarantine and isolation have become familiar. During the lockdown, people could not go out despite their wishes, they could not meet their friends and everyone was forced to stay at home. In such a situation, we have all gone through various stresses such as fear of separation in relationships, fear of being alone, and facing a financial crisis. At such times, the mind becomes depressed, the mental stress increases, but without being discouraged, to overcome all this through art, Mulla Afsar Khan recently completed the Chilla under the concept of 'Riaaz Corona- Riaaz with Me'. According to him, it is possible to master the art by doing such Chilla exercises' while living in solitude away from others, and it also helps to increase self-confidence, concentration and restraint. Therefore, if the time comes for such isolation, there is no doubt that such use of solitude will be beneficial for this type of Riyaja. Mulla Afsar Khan said that not only music, instruments and dance but also any art can be practised He said that, since the theatres were closed for the last one and a half years, he had provided an opportunity for the audience to watch a part of his Chilla Riyaz on social media which had got tremendous response. His father Guru Zafar Mulla, Guru Pt. Rajendra Gangani, President of Singapore Indian Fine Art Society K. V Rao, Padmashri Dr Shovana Narayan, Pandita Gitanjali Lal, Pt. Jaikishan Maharaj wished him on completing Chilla.
