Indian fashion brand Raw Mango's new campaign embodies the popular quote 'Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable' but not everyone is pleased.&nbsp;
Advertising the brand's Summer 2021 collection 'Other', the artistic campaign features models with red or green face paint and googly porcelain eyes in an almost surreal photographic makeover.
However, the 'unsettling' visuals may have gone a little too far for many people's taste. While some dubbed the campaign fabulous, many accused the brand of taking it too far and drawing focus away from the actual products.&nbsp;

Collins Aerospace in Charlotte, North Carolina is celebrating its 20th anniversary of supporting Introduce a Girl to Engineering day, hosting more than 55 events in 13 countries.
Katie Cody with Collins Aerospace says that statistics show that girls begin to lose interest in STEM around the age of 10, and only 20% of bachelor's degrees awarded go to women. And in the workforce, only 13% of engineers are women.
One of the highlights this year is Time Magazine Kid of the Year, Gitanjali Rao, who conducted a virtual innovation workshop for girls around the world. NASA&nbsp;on Twitter wrote, 'Today on #IntroduceAGirlToEngineeringDay, we encourage all girls who are curious about how things work to pursue a career in engineering.'&nbsp;

Consuming a diet high in poor quality carbohydrates has many ill effects ranging from a higher risk of heart attacks to strokes, and even death finds a new study.&nbsp;
The global study discovered that higher risks of a diet high in poor quality carbs, called a high glycemic diet, were similar in both people who had previous cardiovascular disease and people who did not. White bread, rice, and potatoes have a high glycemic index.
In contrast, diets rich in high-quality carbohydrates such as fruit, vegetables, and legumes have beneficial effects, researchers noted publishing their findings in the&nbsp;New England Journal of Medicine.

What's worse, the report finds that Indians spend less than one-tenth of time in a day for leisure, and women get far less time than men for leisure.

The livelihoods and food security of hundreds of millions of people in India stand threatened from&nbsp;overexploitation of vital water supplies, finds a new study published in the journal Science Advances.&nbsp;
The authors say groundwater,&nbsp;a critical resource for food security,&nbsp;makes up&nbsp;40% of the country's water supply&nbsp;has been steadily depleting for years. Over-extraction by way of tube wells has left "critically low groundwater availability" in the country's northwest and south, according to the research.

A great workout not only takes you closer to your fitness goal but also helps you feel mentally and physically stronger. But you must remember, that a good workout doesn't end at the gym. What you eat after a workout is as important as what you eat before it. The right kind of food will help your body recover faster, build muscle and prepare your for the next workout.
When you work out, muscles use up glycogen energy stores, even muscle proteins may get damaged, therefore a combination of vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins and carbohydrates is needed by the body.
Lets begin with hydration. If you want your body set for the next day's performance, you need to ensure you're well hydrated. Experts suggest keeping an eye on the colour of your urine to determine the level of hydration. Drinking water as per the intensity of your workout is important, because you have to replenish what you lose in the form of sweat.
Here's what your meal should include post an intensive workout. You have to choose foods which are easy to digest, to amplify absorption of nutrients.
#1 Protein Exercise often leads to the breakdown of muscle proteins, so it is extremely important to consume a good amount of protein. This helps your body get the amino acids required to repair and rebuild these lost proteins. Your meal can comprise of eggs, chicken, quinoa, cottage cheese or greek yoghurt.
# Carbohydrates Including carbs in your post workout meal will help restore the lost glycogen stores which your body uses up as fuel. You can include sweet potatoes, wholegrain pasta, rice or oats.
# Good Fats While you may have set a goal to burn fat, eating fats after your workout is also important. The key lies in not over-eating. You can include a mixture of seeds, walnuts, nut butters or fatty fish.

If you've spent months locked up at home without a haircut, spare a minute or two for this wild sheep in Australia.&nbsp;
Baarack, the sheep, has been living for several years in Victoria with no one to groom him until recently when a charity called Edgar&rsquo;s Mission Farm Sanctuary rescued him.&nbsp;
His fleece had become so matted and overgrown that he could barely see. On cutting it all off, the fleece weighed almost 35 kgs!&nbsp;
The underweight sheep was probably owned by someone at one point in time, the charity shared.&nbsp;
Baraack is indeed back from the brink!

Are you styling your hair too much? You may be damaging it beyond measure. Here's a breakdown of what too much colouring and perming could do to your tresses.

Are you styling your hair too much? You may be damaging it beyond measure. Here's a breakdown of what too much colouring and perming&nbsp;could do to your tresses.&nbsp;
According to WebMD, frequently highlighting and colouring your hair damages it internally, leading to dryness and lack of lustre.&nbsp;
Perming or chemically curling or straightening your hair breaks the inner bonds and reforms them in a new manner, thus weakening your hair.
Brushing your hair multiple times in a day seems like an easy way of smoothening&nbsp;them. But research shows that overbrushing&nbsp;causes too much friction, leading to split ends.&nbsp;&nbsp;
