Author : SAARA SAMANT


'Music and Rhythm find their way into the secret places of the soul'

'Music is life itself'

'Music is therapy. Music moves people. It connects people in ways that no other medium can. It pulls heart strings. It acts as medicine'

'One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain'


I don't need to say more after these famous quotes and am sure you know what I am going to talk about. Music, it's been called many things -- the Universal language, a great healer, even a reflection of Divine energy. All across history and ancient times, music has been used in all cultures for healing and medicines. Today science also confirms that humans are wired to respond to music. Many patients especially with mental illnesses like Parkinson's, depression, etc. may help people heal. Many researchers are exploring how music affects different groups of people and how it could play a role in health care.


Pregnant women and Infants:-

Our ancient Vedas and our scriptures talk about garbsanskar, which is the science of how babies responds to music. Soothing music after 24 weeks of pregnancy affects the baby in a positive way. It develops the brain, soothes and relaxes the baby. Researchers show that babies who heard a song repeatedly while in the womb seemed to calm when the same song was played after they were born.

Improves sleep:-

Listening to classical or relaxing music an hour before bedtime can help create a sense of relaxation and peace which leads to better sleep.

Reduce mental anxiety and stress:-

'Music therapy is an established form of therapy to help individuals address physical, emotional, cognitive and social needs', says famous Psychologist. Feeling overwhelmed about an upcoming exam or a competition, a few minutes of listening to your favorite music relaxes you.

Memory:-

Studies have shown that listening to certain type of music like instrumental, flute-based, etc. helps you recall things much easily. Learning a new musical instrument and singing enhances short-term and working memory. It also helps stimulate the left and right brain.

Boost your energy:-

While exercising, cleaning, etc. when you need the energy levels up, upbeat music can lift your mood. Many use music at the start of their day to kickstart their mornings.


So many reasons for you to enjoy your favorite music all the more now. Do plug in your headphones or start your playlist and get going!

Those Were The Days ... Author : SHRIYANS CHANDAN MOHAPATRA

  Those Were The Days ... Author : SHRIYANS CHANDAN MOHAPATRA Do you wish you could return to moments from your past? Yes, I wish I could return memories from your past as those were the days. Many people say that growing up is the best part of life. But I disagree. Growing up means a smaller margin for errors, a necessity for seriousness and I just dislike all of those. The only positive about growing up Is total freedom. No one to stop from chasing your dreams except you yourself. But then you need to mature and grow responsible, along with still obeying everyone; that is an expectation that others have of you. Meanwhile when you are a child; a chick whose egg has just cracked, your mistakes are turned into a laughingstock and your naughtiness are converted into a chance to snuggle into your mother’s safe hands. I tell you those were the days. I sometimes feel as if I would give everything I have, even if it means my life to go back in time. Sometimes I feel if only everyone...

  The Lonely Old Lady Author : RIYAA JOSHI "It started a few years ago. I was thirsty for blood. I had developed a taste for human meat and skin. My first victim, Officer Black, was my gardener. One fine day, he came at sharp 6 in the morning, as always, and watered my precious garden generously. At 7, he came in, and requested me to give him a glass of water. I went into the kitchen, alright, but a glass of water wasn't the only thing I took. As Frank the gardener gulped down his glass, my hand rose behind him and a long, sharp knife came into view.

You see, I am an old lady. I get lonely sitting alone in the small of these four walls. My cannibalism always seems to overwhelm me. My second victim, was old Mrs. Thomas from across the street. Poor lady, I tell you Officer Black. Always cares for me, y...
