Welcome to the final edition of the magazine for 2018. As we get ready to bid adieu to this year, we cannot help but feel a certain kind of excitement, as Christmas is around the corner!

Moreover, as there will be the promise of new beginnings and new resolutions, let’s hope there is a lot of happiness and joy in store for all of us in the coming year.

December is the time when each person’s social calendar is packed with festive dinners and parties with friends and relatives. But despite all the festivity and gaiety everywhere, make sure your workouts don’t take a hit, for the reason that we all know that exercise and staying fit, is equally important.

However, if working out alone distresses you and becomes monotonous, try working out in a group.

The year 2017 is almost coming to an end, but not before it engulfs us in all the festivity and gaiety, reserved for the last few months of the year. The recently celebrated Festival of Lights has undoubtedly provided impetus to a celebratory mood and holiday spirit. But before you get ready to bid this year adieu, make sure you get a health check done, bearing in mind all the binge eating episodes and late night soirees you may have been a part of and also not to mention, the impending festivities around the corner!

We all know that sweets and festivals are synonymous, but what we need to pay attention to is the rising cases of diabetes in the country. ‘World Diabetes Day’ is celebrated annually on November 14th, to educate individuals of all ages about the risks associated with this disease. In our country ‘Children’s Day’ too, is celebrated on the 14th of the month.

For this reason, there couldn’t be a more opportune time to highlight the rising incidences of childhood diabetes in India, which is very unfortunate and a sorry state of affairs indeed! Thus, our focus this month is on topics related to children, juvenile diabetes and behavioural foods, as these issues require attention and need to be brought to the forefront. Did you know that a healthy and balanced diet can make huge difference in dealing with behavioural problems in children?

Our cover this month is graced by the handsome, superfit and dynamic actor Tiger Shroff, who is the son of renowned actor Jackie Shroff. This upcoming superstar of Bollywood made his debut in the film ‘Heropanti’ and has awed audiences ever since, with his amazing skills in martial arts and dancing. The ‘Baaghi’ star says he has been hugely inspired by Bruce Lee and Michael Jackson, which is certainly quite obvious when you see him perform. Read on to discover the actor’s viewpoints on sculpting fitness levels, diet plans and also his evolution in the Hindi movie industry so far.

We are already in the last trimester of 2017 and festivities are around the corner! We celebrated our 10th anniversary last month and we are now geared up for yet another eventful year ahead. Also, with the commencement of this month starts the fun and gaiety that accompanies all festivals.

In our country, festivals are welcomed with a variety of sweets that have both culinary and religious significance. This is why it’s important to opt for healthier alternatives, so that you can indulge in your favorite festival foods and still avoid the negative effects of sugar. Keeping this aspect in mind, we’ve featured some sugar-free traditional sweet recipes to help you stick to your decision of eating healthy.

As ‘World Food Day’ is observed every year in the month of October, it’s time to move on from sweet, to a bitter topic of global hunger. While some celebrate with plenty of food, there are some unfortunate others, who can’t even get a daily meal! Thus, this Day raises awareness about food scarcity and strives to tackle starvation that is faced by millions of human beings around the world.

On our cover this month we have the fierce and the fabulous Deepika Padukone, who has openly spoken about her struggle with depression and the stigma associated with this mental state. This forthright and fascinating actress made her debut in Farah Khan’s ‘Om Shanti Om’ which helped her embark on a beautiful journey of path-breaking films that kept the audiences enthralled. The award-winning diva shares with us truths about her success, her svelte body, glamour and a lot more.

We celebrate another anniversary of BPositive this month! At one moment, it feels like it’s just one of those days where you hit the ‘print’ button to head to the next go-to task, as part of a chore, whilst on the other, you find yourself pondering over, how it feels, sailing through all these days, months and years. Is it a dream or a reality to have tread through a journey infused with excitement, highs and lows, long working days and deadlines to be achieved?

Well, for us it’s certainly been a long cherished dream that has been turned into a beautiful reality, with the love and belief of all those who have been a significant part of the pages between this magazine. The past nine years have been serendipitous, euphoric, and at times really, really difficult, but never has there been a single dull moment! And now, it’s time to celebrate our 10th Glorious Year!

As you flip through the pages of this magazine, each topic you read has been shared by experts from around the country. Scouring for original content, is what we have been earnestly doing all these years and the contributions from every person within these pages speaks for itself. We have also observed and worked on minute details to offer substance and value in all our write-ups that address pertinent topics. And as the clock ticks on and the days and months pass by, we can proudly affirm that our readers are on the rise!

You don’t need any reminding about which time of the year we are presently enjoying, for the reason that, the roads are awash with rain and there is the constant pitter-patter of raindrops on your window, coupled with a nip in the air! Just a look at the dramatic sky filled with grey, water laden clouds ready to drench us at any minute, reinstates the importance of water in our lives and its necessity for our existence. Unfortunately, water is also a much-abused resource that needs to be conserved.

At the risk of sounding text bookish, here’s what happens when water falls from the sky - it becomes one with the Earth or makes the oceans, seas, rivers and little ponds its home. But if we happen to reflect upon the peculiarities of the nature of water, what stands out is the quality of ‘acceptance’ of this element.

Water flows and embraces everything in its way. When obstacles come in its path, it simply finds another way, but never quits till it reaches its destination! These remarkable qualities of ‘acceptance’ and ‘moving on’ are very characteristic of water and can possibly bring us much peace too, if emulated in our lives.

This month, Sri Lankan beauty and actress Jacqueline Fernandez features on our cover. She debuted in the film ‘Aladin’ and gave a solo hit with ‘Kick.’ After a fair share of fad diets and gimmicks and also with the intention of falling in line with industry standards, this very affable actress got into a disciplined fitness and diet routine. Read on to know much more about ‘A Gentleman’s’ leading lady!

It’s that time again to welcome a new month of 2017. Six months have sped by and we are already in the middle of the year. The month of July promises to bring with it, ‘showers of blessings’ that will provide much respite from the spiralling temperatures that were witnessed some time back. And if misty mornings and magnificent weather is anything to go by, we are surely in for a refreshing season!

Every month that goes by and every new day we greet each morning, is also a subtle reminder of age catching up with us. But take heart, because in the words of Jules Renard, “It`s not how old you are, it`s how you are old.” All the same, society has always perceived ageing as an incurable disease and old age, as a problematic stage of life. It is such perceptions that have fostered a billion dollar industry which provides solutions to delay ageing and its related symptoms.

Hence, it is quite ironic that everyone wishes to acquire the wisdom that comes with age, yet nobody is willing to let it show, in the form of wrinkles or grey hair. ‘Conscious ageing’ is a unique means to look at and experience ageing in a manner that goes beyond the obsession of looking young. Thus, ‘the acceptance of ageing’ is an insightful write-up on how to age gracefully.

On our cover this month, we have the attractive Anushka Sharma, who wowed the audiences with her simple small town girl role, in her debut film, ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.’ Anushka set on the road to fame with modelling and soon captured a three-movie contract with the Yash Raj films banner that firmly planted her in Bollywood.

With the onset of June, the sultry weather of the past few months is slowing giving way to more pleasant climatic conditions. Also, ‘World Environment Day’ is observed during this month, as a reminder to treat our planet with more care, conscientiousness and affection. Nature has been rightly called ‘Mother Earth’ because she cares for us, nourishes and nurtures us. But in return, we spurn and hurt her with insensitivity and a careless approach.

‘World Environment Day’ is meant to help us reconnect with Nature and to take corrective measures to make amends for the damage we’ve inflicted on the Earth. Thus this month, some of the topics we’ve decided to focus on are loss/ earth/ soul/ goals etc. These are of paramount importance in our lives and hence need much thought and reflection.

Globalization and industrialization has left our planet and its resources in a deplorable state. Consequently, we are often witnessing natural turbulences in the environment caused due to global warming. Also, as a result of modern technology and the mechanized lives we lead today, we have lost connect with the Earth. Treading on the grass, soil, sand etc. with protective shoes on our feet is very common and the acceptable thing to do. However, our ancestors had a very profound connection with the Earth and thus, greatly benefitted from its energy.
