This proverb has been proved right time and again, with people innovating technologies to make life easier. Every now and then, we find people making something unique and useful out of very basic amenities. Now, a video of a man using an Ola electric scooter to play music at a pre-wedding event has not just caught the attention of social media users but Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal as well. Taking to Instagram, a user Saurav Rokade narrated how he came up with the "desi jugaad". According to the caption, at the event, the stage was set, and people had gathered and were seated as the bride prepared to put up a dance performance. However, it all came to a halt as police asked the organisers to stop playing music, causing an interruption at the event. This is when Saurav's friend decided to use his Ola Scooter to play music. The bride's "wish was fulfilled to dance at her own wedding," the caption read. Watch the video below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by बड़े ?

However, now the "nose cover" pose has left a lot of adults scratching their heads over what it might mean. Gen Z children everywhere seem to be hopping on this trend, including Tyson Fury's 14-year-old daughter Venezuela, who has been seen covering her face in a family picture posted on mum Paris Fury's Instagram along with Paris' niece Valentino. In her Instagram story Boxer Tyson Fury's wife, Paris shared a photo as she celebrated her niece's 13th birthday. Ms Paris posted a family photo to mark the occasion but her niece Valentino, and her eldest daughter Venezuela hid their faces behind their hands with the "nose cover". Now, according to the New York Post, parents have been left baffled by this latest trend with many asking if it's a secret sign or a "traveller thing". One parent, Michelle Harris, infuriated by the family photos at Christmas being ruined by her teenage son using the 'nose pose' even decided to confront him. "Is everything OK? Why won't you show up in family photos for the handsome boy that you are anymore?' Are you being bullied?" she asked her son, as per the outlet. But her son's response was a "surprise", Ms Harris recalled. "'No, but I will be if you post pictures of me online without my consent!'" her son told her. The outlet explained that teenagers nowadays are active online and often seek out embarrassing photos of each other on social media to "roast" them. Covering their faces, then, is a way to potentially evade teasing, the Post reported. "As parents, we want to capture it all," Ms Harris said. "Their first step, every tooth, the braces, the spots and then we proudly post in our online social circles mindlessly without stopping to think how damaging this can be to our youngsters within their own online social groups," she continued. Also Read | Pics: Once Asia's Most Eligible Bachelor, Brunei Prince Marries A Commoner Separately, speaking to The Sun, parenting expert Amanda Jenner also attributed the budding trend to teenagers' acne-riddled awkward phase. "It's important to remember that this phase is a normal part of growing up, where seeking independence and establishing personal boundaries are key developmental milestones," she explained. However, Ms Jenner also said that the online landscape can be "hard" for teens especially when unfiltered or unedited photos of them are plastered on a parent's Facebook feed. Therefore, the "nose cover" trend allows Gen Z to be in a photo to make their parents happy while still maintaining harmony. "It's very sad that we can't share and be proud of family photos, but unfortunately this is the way it is today," Ms Jenner said. Now, going forward, Ms Harris said that she aims to be more mindful of the content she shares online and urges other parents to ask for consent before sharing a seemingly innocent photo. https://ift.tt/W5e4MJH January 12, 2024 at 11:16PM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com

What Is Quitter's Day And How To Avoid Crushing New Year's Resolution? https://ift.tt/ftAUqci As we usher in a New Year, many of us find ourselves at the crossroads of resolutions and reality. Quitter's Day, observed on the second Friday in January in the US and several countries, marks the point when some begin to re-evaluate their New Year's resolutions. Coined by data analysts studying fitness app usage patterns, this day highlights a common trend where enthusiasm for new goals starts to wane. This year, the day falls on Friday (January 12). Why January? The timing of Quitter's Day is linked to the surge in New Year's resolutions. January 1 is a symbolic fresh start, inspiring people to set ambitious goals for self-improvement. However, as the month progresses, the initial motivation often gives way to the challenges of maintaining lifestyle changes. The psychology behind quitting Quitting, in the context of Quitter's Day, isn't synonymous with failure. It's a natural part of the goal-setting process. The shift from excitement to abandonment is influenced by factors like unrealistic expectations, external pressures, and the human tendency to resist change. Factors Contributing to Quitter's Day Unrealistic expectations: Setting overly ambitious goals without a realistic plan can lead to frustration and disillusionment. External pressures: Societal expectations and comparisons with others can create undue pressure, making individuals more likely to abandon their resolutions. Lack of adaptability: Life is dynamic, and unforeseen circumstances may disrupt the pursuit of goals. Those who struggle to adapt may find it easier to quit than to adjust their plans. Turning Quitter's Day into a positive experience Rather than viewing Quitter's Day as a setback, it can be seen as an opportunity for reflection and recalibration. Understanding the reasons behind the inclination to quit allows individuals to reassess their goals, set more realistic expectations, and adapt strategies for success. Tips to overcome Quitter's Day challenges Set realistic goals: Break down larger goals into smaller, achievable tasks to maintain a sense of progress. Focus on intrinsic motivation: Align resolutions with personal values and passions to sustain motivation from within. Embrace flexibility: Life is unpredictable. Being open to adjusting goals when necessary fosters resilience and long-term commitment. Celebrate milestones: Acknowledge and celebrate small victories along the way, reinforcing a positive mindset. It is important to note that Quitter's Day serves as a reminder that resolutions are a journey, not a one-time event. By understanding the psychological aspects, embracing adaptability, and setting realistic intentions, individuals can transform Quitter's Day into a positive catalyst for personal growth and sustainable change. https://ift.tt/lbUBmts January 12, 2024 at 11:27AM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com
