  • 5 on-screen couples that are setting major relationship goals

    5 on-screen couples that are setting major relationship goals

    There’s no denying the on-screen chemistry between couples can either make or break a show. And in some cases, the sizzling chemistry is so good, it leaves us spell-bound, living vicariously through their beautiful relationships. Throughout the lockdown, while there were plenty of jokes cracked about couples that were driving each other up the wall, we found our happily ever after on the web. Defined by qualities of mutual understanding, great compatibility, and being fun-loving, these on-screen couples have set goals and raised the bar when it comes to relationship goals. Here are our top 5 couples that we can’t get enough of: 

    1.  Sanya and Shaurya in Please Find Attached Season 1 & 2- Sanya and Shaurya are the perfect depictions of a modern couple, finding their way together amidst balancing their personal and professional lives. Our obsession with them began in season 1, when we saw the two, who are also colleagues moving in together, and slowly give in to their growing attraction towards each other. In season 2 of Please Find Attached, watching the two align their different professional goals with each other and their lives is nothing short of a dramatic experience. At the same time, through Sanya and Shaurya’s ups and downs, we see what it takes to make a relationship work today, with learnings we can incorporate in our work, and in our relationships. 

    2. Tanya and Mikesh in Permanent Roommates – We fell in love with Tanya and Mikesh, as we watched their lives and decisions whether to take their relationship to the next level or not played out in front of us. From being in a long-distance relationship, and then moving in together, and mulling over getting married, their story is relatable, aspirational, and above all, entertaining.  

    3. Dhruv and Kavya in Little Things- Arguably one of the most iconic couples on the web. Watching Dhruv and Kavya figure out life, love, and everything in between together is entertaining, to say the least. It’s refreshing to see how the two go out of their way to brighten up each other’s days and put aside their differences to find a middle ground, to make the ‘little things’ truly count. 

    4. Sara and Sapan Kohli in Mrs. & Mr. Kohli – What’s not to love about this Punjabi couple that is smashing gender biases, one stereotype at a time. Mrs. Kohli goes to work, while Mr. Kohli stays at home, much to the amusement of those they interact with. We also love seeing their ‘Punjabiness’ in all its glory, as they bicker over Butter Chicken and Paneer while navigating the everyday shenanigans that their role reversed lives throw at them. 

    5. Jeetu and Saumya in Pitchers – Right from season 1, we’ve loved watching how supportive Saumya is of Jeetu, as he follows his passions. Being the only married guy among his peers, Jeet shows us how different even making the smallest of decisions can be, and how to navigate tough times. 

    If you have missed watching any of these shows, now is a good time to sit back and binge.

  • Drop-in global carbon emissions observed because of Covid-19 induced lockdown

    Drop-in global carbon emissions observed because of Covid-19 induced lockdown

    A decrease in global carbon emissions was observed compared to the 1979 oil crisis during the Iranian revolution or the worldwide financial crisis of 2008.

    Carbon emissions are similar to greenhouse gas emissions. The greenhouse effect leads to the release of gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and these gases trap the sun’s heat-causing the average temperature to rise. This can lead to global warming. Carbon emissions occur when carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere through vehicular emissions, deforestation, burning of fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, or oil. Carbon emissions can contribute to global warming too.

    A study conducted this year, published in Nature communications measured carbon emissions. It was seen that during April especially when the corona wave first came into force and a lockdown was imposed, carbon emissions reduced by 16.9%. A 40% decline in emissions was observed worldwide. According to the researchers, this might be due to the fact that lockdown restricted everyone to their homes and there was reduced reduction in traveling, transport for that matter.

    For the efficiency of research, the researchers measured hourly data sets of electricity production in 31 countries, including daily traffic in 400 countries as well as passenger flights. Fuel consumption that can cause carbon emissions in more than 200 countries were also looked at.

    It was also observed that after the businesses slowly began to open following the easing of lockdown restrictions, emission of carbon dioxide emissions increased in most countries.

    Hence it is important to develop a proper strategy in order to reduce carbon emissions for our environment. Co-Author Hans Joachim Schellnhuber eased on the importance of bringing in structural changes in industrial sectors in order to reduce carbon emissions.

    Carbon emissions cannot be completely omitted from our environment but can certainly be reduced on an individual as well as societal level.

  • Can artificial sweeteners be a replacement for table sugar in diabetics?

    Can artificial sweeteners be a replacement for table sugar in diabetics?

    Artificial sweeteners claim to have a low calorie or sugar count and hence may seem like a heaven for diabetic people but are they? Some of the artificial sweeteners include Stevia, coconut sugar, date palm sugar, sugar alcohols like Xylitol or Erythritol, Acesulfame, Aspartame, Sucralose, Saccharine, etc.

    Artificial sweeteners are a lot sweeter than normal sugars and hence only a little amount of it is required to sweeten up our foods. This might be the reason of artificial sweeteners having fewer caloric counts as they are used in smaller amounts compared to normal sugar.

    What does sweeteners do?

    Sweeteners are used by diabetics as a replacement for normal sugars. As it is used in meager amounts, it doesn’t affect the blood sugar levels as much. There has to be much research though that has to be conducted in this area on whether artificial sweeteners can be safely used. Many people mistakenly assume sweeteners to have lower caloric count and hence think it is okay to use it in large amounts. Sweeteners can increase cravings for sweet foods and the person may end up consuming more sweeteners than recommended amounts. A 2010 study published in Pubmed also supported this statement. According to the study, artificial sweeteners failed to activate food reward pathways in a way that natural sugars do. This can encourage sugar dependence.

    Contrasting studies are present too. According to a 2002 study, overweight subjects who consumed sucrose had higher energy intake, blood pressure and fat mass compared to the subjects that consumed artificial sweeteners.

    Some studies also equate sweeteners with weight gain. It may also alter gut microbiota which helps in weight regulation.

    Sugar alcohols like xylitol can raise blood sugar as well. A 2016 study also observed that normal-weight individuals who consumed sweeteners experienced increased blood sugar levels compared to overweight or obese people. Side effects like diarrhea, bloating, gas issues can also be experienced in some people.

    Many studies also link artificial sweeteners to cancer though yet again contrasting studies have come up refuting these claims.

    What can we conclude from this?

    More studies have to be conducted for finding out the efficacy of these sweeteners. Sweeteners might pose some health risks too. The negative health effects experienced might vary depending on person to person. That said, it is important to consult a proper health professional before including them in your diet.

  • Bitcoin – Safest Option to Play Casinos Online

    Bitcoin – Safest Option to Play Casinos Online

    Cryptocurrency is fast becoming the best option for making payments for many gamblers. Amongst the various kinds of coins available, bitcoin seems to be the most frequently used. Every day, punters in India continue to see the advantages of using bitcoins over the Indian rupee. As a result, the list of bitcoin casinos in India and worldwide is on the increase. 

    Traditional online casinos always have peculiar concerns bothering around safety and security. Similarly, bitcoin casinos have these concerns and even more. That is because the crypto space is relatively new, and therefore, there are many unknown risks.

    No doubt, Gambling is a risky game. Even with the said unknown risks, bitcoins do not pose any security threats at all. Bitcoin is probably safer as compared with your Indian rupees. If you are in, let’s find out why.

    Why Bitcoin?

    Before we consider how safe Bitcoin is as a payment method, we will first see the benefits of using it.

    The first benefit that bitcoin has over most methods of payment is speed. Using other payment options might take up to 7 days, especially with withdrawals. The delay usually has to do with confirmation and length of the many processes involved.

    Bitcoin withdrawals in casinos, on the other hand, would usually take minutes. That’s because, unlike your regular Rupee transactions, there is no need for approvals from a third party.

    One other fantastic advantage is the low fees that come with the transactions. The absence of third-parties in the payment process also removes the idea of paying for approval. That means bitcoin users can make instant payments with bitcoins at a cost that is close to negligible. When you compare that with the high rates that might come with regular rupee transactions, you have a massive advantage of saving some cash for yourself.

    Also, bitcoins come with a level of privacy. Unlike with regular rupee transactions, payments made with bitcoins are confidential. That is, the transactions would not appear on your bank payments, credit card history, and any other financial record.

    Finally, the value of bitcoin could increase while in storage. Therefore, there is a possibility of getting more deals for your rupees with bitcoin. Note that this could be both an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time. 

    How safe are your Bitcoin payments?

    First, let’s make some clarifications. Thefts and hacks in the crypto space are prevalent; however, most of these mishaps happen during exchanges. To date, none of these has been reported in any Bitcoin casino in the world. 

    As a matter of fact, Bitcoin casinos are safer than regular casinos. That’s because of the cryptographic nature of bitcoin. Meaning, the entire system is fully encrypted with codes. Information can only be sent one way and cannot be accessed except by the intended receiver.

    The system ensures that all transactions by their users are encrypted and verified several at different points. Private keys are issued to users, and they are typically long. That makes them hard to decode and probably safer than the use of credit cards.

    Spotting fraudulent casinos

    Unfortunately, just like you have good and bad casinos, there are good and bad bitcoin casinos. You or anyone else cannot stop them from being fraudulent. But then, you can keep safe by staying away from them. 

    At the moment, three bitcoin casinos are on the backlist of Casino.org. According to casino.org, they were blacklisted for issues including

    • Missing information on licensing
    • Complaints with demo games
    • Slow payment time
    • Poor conduct of business
    • Unresolved issues with clients

    With a large number of Bitcoin casinos available to you out there, you need to do your research before choosing one.

    Before checking anything, you must check the casino’s certification and accreditation. A good bitcoin casino should have a license from a licensing authority.

    Also, a good bitcoin casino should have partnerships with responsible gambling organizations. You should look for names like GamCare or Gamblers anonymous on their website.

    You can also take a step further by reading reviews and ratings from trusted review websites. These sites would tell you about the casino’s welcome bonus, their software providers, and the depth of their game collections. Some of these review websites even go a step further with a tool called “provably fair.” The tool allows you to verify all rolls’ results, so you cannot cheat by the casino.

    How to use bitcoins in online casinos

    First, you need to find a bitcoin casino that you can trust following the steps above. After that, proceed to create a bitcoin wallet where you can store your bitcoins.

    There are three different types of wallet from which you can choose. There are online wallets, offline software wallets, and hardware wallets. Of all three, hardware wallets are said to be the most secure. On the other hand, online wallets are the easiest to use.

    Once you have set up the wallet, proceed to make deposits. You will be requested to enter the address of the wallet where your funds are kept. Within minutes, your finds should now reflect in the balance of your casino account.

    Conclusion

    Bitcoin casinos offer almost the same level of safety as traditional casinos. The only difference is that they are more secure.

    For your own safety, the reputation of the casino is essential. This is especially when you consider that the process is irreversible. Several review websites would give you information on how legit a casino is to help you.
