How to Shift Your Mindset and Stop Fear of the Evil Eye
Recently, there has been much banter and controversy on social networks over this concept called Evil Eye, as if this thing exists and that some people's bad vibes or bad wishes have so much to do with our lives. Without much empirical research or scientific evidence being put forward on its basis, opinions widely vary on this aspect of life. I believe that the concept of the evil eye is based on cultural and superstitious thinking, that is, those who feel envious of your success or inner light may wish you harm or cast curses, which can eventually bring about misfortune or a decline in the blessings already in your life.

Life Lessons from Middle-earth
I still remember the first time I watched "The Lord of the Rings." I was just a kid, curled up in a chair that felt way too big for me, a bowl of popcorn balanced on my lap, and my eyes glued to the screen. I had no idea then that this story would etch itself into my soul, becoming more than just a film. Because, let’s face it—what is Tolkien’s epic, really? A fairy tale? A lesson in morality? Or maybe, just maybe, it’s a mirror reflecting the brightest and darkest parts of ourselves.

When Wandavision ended, I worried it may be the last time I saw Agatha Harkness.

Why Do Women Need Control Over Their Bodies? Understanding Abortion Laws in India
The issue of abortion has consistently sparked considerable debate and conversation. Some individuals advocate for the rights of mothers or pregnant women to choose to continue with the pregnancy or terminate it; conversely, others believe that a foetus is more than just a mere collection of cells, viewing it as a living entity with its own life, deserving of individual rights and freedoms separate from those of the pregnant woman. A notable instance when personal freedoms were at risk was when women's access to safe abortion services was jeopardized. For many years, until 1971, India deemed abortion criminal and referred to it as “intentionally causing miscarriage.” Voluntary abortion, except in cases where the pregnant woman's life was endangered, could result in a punishment of up to three years in prison, a monetary fine, or both.

The Tough Guy Image: What’s the Cost?
Are you a girl? Why are you upset? Boys are expected to be strong and lead their families without showing emotion. Society has imposed strict norms on how both genders should behave, which often prevents individuals from expressing their true selves and fulfilling their needs. This creates a non-responsive environment where men cannot, and should not, cry, and women can never be feminine or strong enough. This leads to extreme covering of one's truth with many psychological issues and a lack of vulnerability. This article discusses how expectations and societal ideals transform males to suppress emotions for long-lasting repurcussions.

History of Paramount Pictures
Paramount Pictures Corporation owned by media conglomerate Viacom was founded in the year 1912. The founder Adolph Zukor of Famous Players Film Company decided to make feature films that would fulfill the demands of immigrants. By the mid of next year he made five successful films. In the same year Jesse L. Lasky founded Lasky Feature Play Company and hired Cecil B. DeMille for his first movie "The Squaw Man". Both these production companies sought help of Paramount Pictures to release their movies. Paramount Pictures was a new company at that time and was a merger of many small firms by W. W. Hokinson. The idea was appreciated and the new company, Famous Players-Lasky, got a good start. Lasky and his brother-in-law, Goldfish became in charge of the production, along with DeMille. Hiram Abrams was responsible for the distribution where as Zukor made plans for the development of the company. The company soon touched great heights. In 1916, Zukor decided to talk about the merging of the three companies with Lasky and Hodkinson. Public can take guided tour into the Paramount Studios situated in Hollywood, California.
