Mental health issues comprise one amongst the most talked about subjects. As the world becomes a global village, the humans are turning loners who can be seen gluing to their screens and hence keeping their problems to themselves limiting their world to their four walls of the home. Saloni writes on five best tips which can help deal with mental issues.

1) Share your feelings

First and foremost tip is that share your feelings with someone whom you trust. He/she will surely listen to what you say.

Open your heart as keeping things inside yourself make you think more and can also cause mental illness. Try to share what you genuinely feel. Don’t keep secrets and be honest with yourself if you really want positivity in your head. Keep that good relationship with others. Just sit with your loved ones and have a long, big conversation and say your heart out.

2) Do what makes you happy

Try to find a fun activity which you enjoy, it can be painting, playing guitar, playing basketball, hanging out with friends etc. Explore things and continue doing what you like and enjoy the most. It can help you to distract your mind and can help you to keep your mind busy in other things which you genuinely enjoy doing. Revive at least one hobby which has died. Find happiness in these things because if you are happy then you are healthy.

3) Seek Expert’s help

In India, people think getting mental health help is nothing. Whenever you are dealing with a trauma, it is advised to get some expert help as it is a very serious issue to deal with. This situation can give your brain a serious damage which is dangerous. People often take it like nothing happened or its just “all in your mind” which should not be taken like that. Don’t hesitate in taking help.

4) Do meditation

Meditation can be very helpful in terms of mental peace. If we talk about mental illness or disturbance, meditation can be the cure if you do it right. It’s not like only traditional method is useful, there are plenty of categories in this too, for instance, painting, listening to therapeutic music and many more like this.

5) Stay Active Physically and Mentally

Staying active physically and mentally provides you positivity and gives you mental and physical strength which is so much needed during mental illness. It keeps you busy which helps to boost your positivity in your mind.

So, these are the few tips to owe when you feel overburdened or negative.

Arjun Kapoor responded to trolls which were targeting his relationship age gap with girlfriend Malaika Arora, and said that he thinks, “it’s a silly thought process to look at age and contextualize a relationship”.

Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor have been in an open relationship for a quite long time now. They came out open in public back in 2019 on Arjun’s birthday and since then they never miss a chance to express their love for each other.

Arjun Kapoor finally breaks his silence and strikes back at trolls

Being one of the most popular couple of B-town they surely face a lot of criticism and public opinions time to time. But there’s one factor that is there from the very beginning of their relationship, the age gap. The couple has continuously faced a lot of cold and insensitive trolls for their age difference.

While Arjun is 36, Malaika is 48 with a 12 year age difference, this couple has always faced a lot of trolling from public and social media platforms.

Trolling culture has become very powerful and quite prevalent for Bollywood celebs.
Arjun finally opened up in an interview and responded back to trolls who always targets his relationship with bae Malaika.

Talking with Masala.com, Arjun stated, “Firstly, I think that the media is the one who goes through the comments from people. We don’t even look at 90% of it so the trolling cannot be given so much importance, because it’s all fake. Those same people will be dying to take a selfie with me when they meet me, so you cannot believe that narrative.”

The actor further added “What I do in my personal life is my prerogative. As long as my work is being recognised, the rest is all just a lot of noise. Plus, you can’t be so bothered about whose age is what, so we should just live, let live and move on. I think it’s a silly thought process to look at age and contextualize a relationship,”

Arjun has previously opened up on media and talked about trolls and how it affects him , he stated in an interview that he is being trolled just for being alive, he further added, “I just wish they kind of realise that we are also human and it does take a toll on us. Mentally, emotionally and physically you can feel drained reading it”.

At the end Arjun and Malaika are together and seems happy in their relationship. The couple posted a cute selfie on their IG handle on new year.

Nimbahera which is not a very prominent place among tourists mainly because it is not very well explored by many, gives a surprisingly unique view. A small town surrounded by Industries gives a phenomenal view after sunsets when all those cement towers light up under the bright stars, looking no less that a dream land.

When you’ll notice these big cement towers, you’ll feel like they’re a living image of Malaysia’s famous Petronas Twin Towers. But in reality these towers don’t need to be compared they holds their own distinctive value.

A student Shubham Kumawat , who lives and admires his small yet vibrant town captured this beautiful view of towers.

Shubham is one of those students who attended the workshop organised by an NGO Saksham Sanchar Foundation on December 10 in the panchayat samiti bhawan of Nimbahera. The workshop which was held with an aim that the students there can benefit from it and will one day emerge as citizen journalists is surely doing some magic as students have started looking around themselves and they are actively sharing and participating in this journey.

Sudoku is much more than randomly guessing and putting numbers. No guesswork can help you to complete the tricky game of Sudoku. It requires patience, determination, strategizing, and logic to complete the puzzle accurately. It is not an easy game that will need you to put numbers and get done with it; however, you can become a pro in Sudoku in no time with the right skills.

If you want to learn more about Sudoku, here are some easy tips to become a pro at the game. Hop on to this article to know some of the best tips to help you enhance your Sudoku skills in less than five minutes and master Sudoku in no time.

Set a Timer

Time-bounding yourself is the best way to get things done easily. Things get easy whenever you set a deadline for yourself, and you tend to push yourself to get to the finish line. Solving a tricky Sudoku might take hours, and you will be stuck with the puzzle without getting other things done. You can set a stopwatch and time yourself for 5 minutes initially to speed up the process. You can focus on the puzzle and solve it faster than usual. Taking this challenge will prompt your brain to take quick action, and you can chisel your problem-solving ability in less time.

Befriend the pencil

If you are solving a Soduko in your local newspaper, then a pencil would be your best friend in such a difficult time. The importance of pencil marking can’t be stressed enough. It might sound naive; however, a marking with a pencil will help you assess the puzzle better. Most Sudoku players use pencils to write numbers in the boxes they think look appropriate. After marking, one can analyze and eliminate the numbers that look out of place. Pencil markings are easier to erase when you believe you have made a mistake. Pencil markings will come in handy before you hit your Eureka moment.

Focus on A Specific Row, Column, or Box

One can be overwhelmed by a 9-by-9 Sudoku grid and get scared of the trickiness of the game. However, you can take baby steps to finish the grid in no time. It would be helpful for you if you focused on 1 row, column or box. You will notice that you will solve the grid more quickly than before. Pouncing at the grid all at once will increase your panic and get you nowhere, so it’s better to solve it bit by bit and with utmost focus and attention.

Scan and Solve

There are numerous techniques to solve Sudoku quickly. One of the easiest ways to solve a Sudoku is to scan the rows and columns in every triple box area, remove the numbers or squares, and find boxes where only a single number can fit in a particular square. This scan and solve technique will come in handy if you want to finish it swiftly and accurately. Moreover, if you are a beginner, it will help you solve the Sudoku puzzle faster than you could imagine.

Swordfish Technique

If you are a beginner at Sudoku, the swordfish technique might not be of any use to you. However, when the difficulty level of puzzles increases, you would need the swordfish technique to solve tricky and challenging puzzles. When you get stuck with challenging and technical puzzles, you can opt for the swordfish technique. A swordfish pattern occurs when three rows or columns contain two or three cells that contain the same locked number. Additionally, this number must happen in each of the three rows and share the same three columns or rows.

Practise New Techniques

While playing Sudoku, you will come across some new techniques, and they will come in handy while solving challenging puzzles. If you are a beginner, you can practice a particular method for 5 minutes. You can take turns and practice every technique for 5 minutes. This will enhance your thinking ability and help you solve the puzzles faster, even if it is difficult. Giving 5 minutes will help your brain do some gruesome exercise and chisel your logical and analytical thinking.

Get a Fast Start

Many players overanalyze and overthink the Sudoku puzzles and waste their time. You might hesitate to place any number and look at the grid-like it’s an atom bomb. It’s Sudoku, not minesweeper; you can take a chance and come back to it if you realize a mistake. Sudoku players must stop being hesitant to lace numbers; otherwise, they might waste too much time solving one puzzle. Limit yourself to 5 or 10 minutes and start fast on the puzzle.

You can be too quick to place the numbers and later assess the grid and find your mistakes. This will not burn out your whole energy and save your time. Doing this will help your brain relax and prepare for the upcoming challenging puzzles. You have to train your brain to be accustomed to surprising tricks and challenges so that you don’t feel stressed out when encountering a tricky Sudoku puzzle.

Conclusion

Solving a Sudoku shouldn’t take the majority of your time so that you can’t devote yourself to other tasks. Sudoku can be an addiction; however, with the right skills, you can become a pro at this addictive game in no time. It takes focus, determination, and concentration to ace the tricky grid. Five minutes or ten minutes is enough to put your brain into exercise and re-evaluate your strategies and skills. It will help you develop a new perspective on solving tricky puzzles. Happy playing!
