Wearing the full tricolour may seem a little overboard but you can still flaunt your patriotism this Independence Day&nbsp;with just one of the colours from our flag. If you need some inspiration, look no further than these leading ladies from Bollywood who all have their own favourites.
Starting from the deep saffron kurta she wore near her wedding celebrations, Deepika Padukone knows a thing or two about wearing the shade well. Since then, the star has worn several modern renditions of pretty saffron.
Whether it&rsquo;s a lazy day at home or a red carpet event, no one wears ethereal whites quite as well as our national desi girl Priyanka Chopra. She knows how to dial up the drama as well as keep things simple using humble whites.
When it comes to gushing greens, Alia Bhatt has proved repeatedly that she knows her way around the colour. From a party dress to this simple polka dot kurta-palazzo set, Bhatt looks great in all variations.&nbsp;
Just as the multiple spokes on the Ashoka Chakra, there are several lovers of royal blue in B-town. Being such a versatile colour, it&rsquo;s hard to go wrong with a deep blue outfit.

Kite flying is synonymous with Independence Day. For many people, especially across north India, Independence Day celebrations are not complete without heading to the rooftop and having 'kite wars' with the hundreds of colourful kites taking to the sky.
But what is the story behind flying kites on the 15th of August every year? Quite logically, kites symbolise freedom, as they fly high in the sky, indicating joy and celebration. But the tradition goes way beyond being just a celebration to mark the historic day.
It is believed that in 1927, kites became a symbol of protest against the British Raj&nbsp;when people flew kites with the slogan 'Simon Go Back', against the Simon Commission.&nbsp; Ever since, the practice continues till date with different themes and messages printed on these kites, from 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao' to Bollywood celebrities, Indian politicians and cartoon characters.&nbsp;
While Independence Day celebrations are on a smaller scale this year owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, you can always head to the terrace and fly a kite or two to keep the spirit of celebration alive.&nbsp;

This Independence Day, we've got a simple tri-colour make-up that you must try! Begin with a base layer of foundation, ensuring that your eyebrows are set.
 Start with an orange eye shadow, stamping it from the inner corner of your eyelid and extending it till it covers half the lid. In case you would like a brighter shade, apply a second layer of orange.
 Blend it out further with a bright green colour eyeshadow, making it angled or rounded towards the edge of your eyelid, based on how you prefer it.
 Next up, use a white or champagne colour eyeshadow to blend the two shades together. White is a significant colour in the Indian flag. Layer it as many times as you'd like to add a pop of colour. You can even use your finger to blend out the white perfectly between the orange and green.
 Use a blue eye pencil to carefully line your waterline with it. Make sure not to pull your eye too much.
 We're not done yet! Use a black, blue or green eyeliner to complete the look and for some added drama. Define the eyelashes with mascara. You can even use it on the bottom eyelashes if you would like.
 Last but not the least, this is by no means a necessary step but you could finish off your tri-colour look with fake eyelashes and a blue crystal on the corner of your lid and voila, you're done!

The new state of India was grappling through a lot of newness after independence, but there was one comforting presence.
With so many states and people holding onto the unification of souls, there was one thing that was our own -and that was food. Here's a look at how Kheer&nbsp;binds the country together.&nbsp;

For his maiden address as the Prime Minister of India in 2014, Narendra Modi kicked off a sartorial tradition that has taken on a life of its own. PM Modi&rsquo;s sartorial style is essentially three key elements &ndash; the&nbsp;kurta, an eponymous Nehru which has now come to be known as Modi jacket and cultural headgear.
While his waistcoats have been discussed a lot, his many&nbsp;headgears&nbsp;often steal the show. Let&rsquo;s take a look at the &lsquo;safas&rsquo; that the PM has donned over the years on Independence Day celebrations and their significance.
2014
A Jodhpuri-style bandhej turban in bright red with an extended green paisley-motif trail was the look PM Modi&nbsp;chose for his first speech as the nation&rsquo;s prime minister. The fabric sashayed behind his head giving way for perfect photo ops cementing his position as a political pop star of sorts.
2015
The next year, PM Modi went for a yellow turban with criss-crossed red and green lines and a trail of the same material. The drape was similar to last year&rsquo;s and his look featured the iconic waistcoat along with a tricolour pocket square.
2016
In 2016, the PM chose a headgear made from a much softer material and tighter drape. The tie and dye turban was coloured in soft pink and a shade that&rsquo;s somewhere between saffron and yellow.
2017
For the 71st Independence Day address, PM Modi opted for a bright red and of course yellow safa with woven golden embroidery in a checked pattern.
2018
In 2018, he returned to his native Gujarat&rsquo;s bandhani pattern in the run-up to the upcoming elections. PM Modi opted for a bright saffron and red turban featuring light bandhani in the trail that extended all the way to his ankles.
2019
After leading his party to a massive win to secure his second tenure, the prime minister chose Rajasthan&rsquo;s leheriya pattern for his safa to mark Independence Day. The largely yellow turban with pops of red and green accompanied the PM as he gave his second-longest speech at 92 minutes.

A small window in Basel houses Switzerland's smallest museum and most of the items on display could fit in a pocket. Also dubbed as the Pants Pocket Museum, the two-foot-by-two-foot window in the door of a 600-year-old house was turned into a museum in 1995 by the homeowners who didn't want people to look inside their house. Now the homeowners put up collective displays of everyday items, changing them every few months, free for anyone to see. What's more, anyone with a collection of 30 or more items can exhibit them at the mini museum.

The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted every aspect of our lives, and especially that of young people, according to a survey by the International Labour Organization.
Half of the world's youth are subject to anxiety or depression-causing circumstances and more than a third are uncertain of their future career prospects due to the pandemic, says the survey by ILO.
The survey found that one in two (i.e., 50%) of young people across the world are subject to anxiety or depression, while 17% are probably affected by it.
Mental well-being is lowest for young women and youths between the ages of 18 and 24 years.
Young people whose education or work was either disrupted or had stopped completely were almost twice as likely to be affected by anxiety or depression as compared to those who continued to be employed or whose education was not affected, the survey showed.
According to the report, 38% of young people are uncertain of their future career prospects, with the Covid-19 crisis expected to create more obstacles in the labour market and lengthen the transition from school to work.
Despite the setback, youth have continued to mobilise and speak out about the crisis. According to the survey, a quarter of the young people have done some kind of volunteer work during the pandemic.

Here's another reason why Kerala is called God's own country! One of the rarest flowers grows here and it blooms only once in every 12 years. The Neelakurinji flower turns the town purple and it&rsquo;s this flower that gives Nilgiri its name. The honey derived from the flower is believed to have medicinal properties.

No gym, no problem! Making living-like primates cooler than ever, this man has created equipments fit for a full-fledged gym with natural materials like clay, bamboo and logs of wood. His weights are made with clay fired up in a natural way and his bars are of bamboo. He even customized a bench press with logs of wood!

A 'Museum of Bad Art' exists and it has been celebrating failure since 1993. Located in Boston, the museum houses art that is way too bad to be ignored and showcases the worst works in the world. It has over 600 pieces that were appreciated in no other forums. In order to be displayed at the museum, the work must have some serious flaws yet not be boring!

The air is festive but celebrations have been overshadowed by the Covid-19 outbreak. Unlike every year, when Krishna Janmashtami brings together millions of people, this year the day is being marked virtually.&nbsp;&nbsp;
 The International Society for Krishna Consciousness or Iskcon, has organised a host of events, so you can tune in, and be part of the celebrations, from the comfort of your home.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The Iskcon temple in Vrindavan is holding special live telecasts of their Janmashtami celebrations through the day, which includes the &lsquo;abhishek&rsquo; of the God - a ritual where the idol is washed or bathed. Special bhajans and kirtans will be held through the course of the day and all of it can also be viewed online.&nbsp;&nbsp;
 Celebrations organised at Iskcon Bengaluru are on a much larger scale. Devotees can be a part of the rituals from the crack of dawn, when the&nbsp;&lsquo;Nauka Vihara&rsquo; is conducted. The organisation is also hosting a series of panel discussions by eminent people from various field like celebrity chef Sanjeev Kapoor, actors Anupam Kher and Hema Malini.&nbsp;&nbsp;
From musical concerts to dance performances and storytelling for children, there's something for everyone to join into the celebrations virtually.&nbsp;

Every year on Janmashtami, markets are bustling with idols of Lord Krishna, the aroma of sweet shops fill the air and children are seen running around dressed as little Krishnas.
 But this year, celebrations will be muted owing to the Covid-19 pandemic with social distancing and 'masked' figures becoming the new normal.&nbsp;
 Join Editorji, as we take you down memory lane of the different shades of the festival in India and the world.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Across the Northern states of India, particularly in Vrindavan and Mathura, where Lord Krishna was born, celebrations are very grand. Homes and temples are decorated with flowers and huge 'jhaankis' of baal gopal recounting the story of his birth and life.
 In Northeast UP and Bihar, devotees keep a fast on this day and break it at midnight to mark Lord Krishna's birth.&nbsp; &nbsp;
 In Maharashtra, gauashtamee is celebrated along with the Dahi Handi festival. A group of govindas take to the streets, forming a human pyramid to break matkas filled with one of Lord Krishna's favourite treats. In Gujarat, Dahi Handi takes the form of Makhan Handi.&nbsp; &nbsp;
 In South India, especially Tamil Nadu, Janmashtami is celebrated as Gokula Ashtami. People make kolams with rice batter on the floor and draw footprints to welcome Lord Krishna into their homes. &nbsp;&nbsp;
At ISKCON temples around the world and in India, the celebrations begin a week ahead. An offering of 108 dishes is made to Lord Krishna followed by a grand mahabhisheka or the ceremonial bath and cultural programs.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
While celebrations may be on a much smaller scale this year, you can always be a part of virtual celebrations, to mark the day.

Cell phones have become an inevitable part of our lives! Whether it's at the dining table or out with a group of friends, the little device always manages to sneak in. Photographer Eric Pickersgill, created a powerful photo series, where he 'removed' cell phones from people's hands. The photos perfectly capture individuals lost in technology and how silly we'd look without our phones! The photos serve as a reminder of their intrusive nature.

Howard Lee, a multidisciplinary artist from England creates photo-realistic art videos that will totally confuse you. His paintings, that are often accompanied by videos showcasing hyper-realism, get millions of views on social media. People are obsessed with the guesswork involved, trying to tell what's real and what's art.

Tough times call for tougher actions. As the novel coronavirus continues to grapple the world, the only guard we have is our immunity. The Food Safety &amp; Standards Authority of India has suggested some power-packed foods that can help boost your immune system.&nbsp;The Indian gooseberry or amla&nbsp;contains Vitamin C and&nbsp;polyphenols&nbsp; known to fire up your immunity.&nbsp;Oranges are also storehouses of Vitamin C.&nbsp;Whip up the fruit into a fresh juice or eat it in your salad. Papaya is packed with Vitamin A, B, C, and K, giving you all the required nutrients in one!&nbsp; Capsicum is known to reduce oxidative stress and is rich in vitamin C, helping you fight various kinds of virus diseases. Load up on the guavas! The fruit contains four times the vitamin C found in oranges. Finally, the quintessential lemon water should be your immunity-fix. Lemons are rich in vitamin C and loaded with antiviral and antibacterial properties.

London, PTI: A pair of gold-plated spectacles believed to have been worn by Mahatma Gandhi and presented as a gift in the 1930s have emerged on the UK auction circuit. The glasses are estimated to fetch between 10,000 pounds and 15,000 pounds.
East Bristol Auctions in Hanham, south-west England, said on Sunday that they were pleasantly surprised to find that the spectacles, dropped through their letterbox in an envelope, may have such a rich history behind it.
&ldquo;It's a huge find of great historical importance. The vendor had presumed them to be interesting, but of no value and did tell me to dispose of them 'if they're not worth anything',&rdquo; said auctioneer Andy Stowe of East Bristol Auctions.
&ldquo;I think he nearly fell off his chair when we presented our valuation. It's a really great auction story &ndash; and one that we all dream of,&rdquo; he said.
The glasses, which have already attracted an online bid for 6,000 pounds, are said to have been in the family of the unnamed elderly gentleman vendor in England, who was told by his father that they were a gift to his uncle when he was working for British Petroleum in South Africa between 1910 and 1930.
&ldquo;The vendor's uncle definitely worked for British Petroleum in South Africa, and I believe Gandhi didn't wear glasses until the late 1910s early 1920s,&rdquo; says Stowe in reference to the provenance of the glasses, which are likely to be one of Gandhi&rsquo;s earliest pairs during his time in South Africa.
&ldquo;The story that appears with the lot is exactly what the vendor told us, and exactly what was told to him by his father some 50 years ago,&rdquo; explains Stowe.
The lot, titled &ldquo;Pair of Mahatma Gandhi&rsquo;s Personal Spectacles&rdquo;, forms part of the auctioneers&rsquo; Military, History and Classic Cars online sale and will go under the hammer on August 21. It has already attracted much interest, including from India.

A Chilean photographer and explorer, Cristian Donoso is depicting the impact of climate change, through a series of images taken over the last 2 decades, during his excursions in Patagonia, Antarctica and the Arctic.&nbsp;
To minimise the impact of his travel on the environment, he makes use of wind and other human-powered forms of travel like sailboats and skis.&nbsp;
In January this year, he undertook an excursion named &ldquo;Forgotten Footsteps," in the footsteps of the 20th century explorer and artist Rockwell Kent in Patagonia. Donoso&rsquo;s images draw a sharp contrast with the paintings made by Kent years ago, depicting the huge loss of ice and altered peaks due to climate change.&nbsp;
His series "Ice Postcards" took him to some of Patagonia's least accessible places, in 2018, where he recreated the images taken by an Italian explorer over a century ago.&nbsp;
Donoso aims to build awareness about the impact of global warming through his work.&nbsp;

In what could be considered a 'gamechanger', scientists in the United States and Denmark have created the brightest-known fluorescent&nbsp;materials ever.
This could help develop a new class of materials that would transform fluorescent&nbsp;dyes into solids, researchers from Indiana University in the US and the University of Copenhagen said.
At present, there are over a 100,000 fluorescent&nbsp;dyes but none of them could help create solid optical materials.
To create these new materials, scientists used a coloured dye along with a colourless solution of cyanostar.
The new class of materials, created using positively charged dyes, have been dubbed as small-molecule ionic isolation lattices or SMILES.
 These could be used in solar energy harvesting, lasers, bio-imaging or next-gen OLED displays.
