Can being too nice weaken your body’s defences?

To the rebel go the spoils

It is not very common to learn of rebels winning against the might of the state machinery, especially one bent on achieving its goals regardless of the means, yet victory for the Bangladeshis on 16 December, 1971 was one such occasion, immortalised in the nation’s psyche today.

The depressed millennials

It is one of the most common things being discussed nowadays — millennials and depression. Being one of the most highly educated generations that grew up with the technological wave, it should not be so. Then again, it is the same generation that went through a global recession in their growing years, no matter which country they hail from.

Mastering grace

Filling your eyes with layer after layer of eye shadow for every look and occasion is a complete buzz kill. Rather, if you are a makeup aficionado, experiment with dark shades of matte lipstick, finishing the look with hues of crimson or coral blush and avoid putting eye shadow altogether.
