International Day of Friendship: Celebrate the spirit of friendship and bonhomie!

Challenges and crises like the Covid-19 pandemic and the consequent lockdown have disoriented friendships and created distance amongst people the world over. This International Day of Friendship, let us confront the distance and help promote friendship and solidarity.
Proclaimed in 2011 by the UN General Assembly, the day aims at creating friendships across borders, countries and cultures. Even though the UN has designated 30th July as the International Day of Friendship, India observes this day on the first Sunday of August. This year India shall celebrate the spirit of camaraderie on the 1st of August.
The UN established this day in an attempt to encourage governments and organisations to hold events and activities in order to build bridges between communities and inspire peace. But recognising the sentiments of friendship can be difficult during a global pandemic and lockdown. So much so that even sharing a cup of tea with your neighbours is not possible due to the Covid&nbsp;safety restrictions.&nbsp;
What you can do on a personal level in order to weave a joyous net of friendship is conduct virtual reading sessions, tea parties, movie or game nights, order food for one another and even enjoy a drink together. And if you want to try something old school then you can always send letters.
Despite the current circumstances, make sure you take some time out to strengthen bonds of bonhomie!

Garlic may leave a bad odour but is a good source of magnesium, selenium, Vitamin C and Vitamin B6.

Garlic may leave a bad odour but is&nbsp;a&nbsp;good source of magnesium, selenium, Vitamin C and Vitamin B6. It is used not just for its flavour&nbsp;but also for its several health benefits.

Not only can it scare Vampires, Garlic has some other superpowers as well!

The bad odour that comes from garlic is a big reason why several people keep it out of their diets. The smell tends to seep into your mouth and might require a round or two of brushing and mouthwash to get rid of.
While these tiny cloves may come with a smell that can linger for hours, they also come with several noteworthy benefits which will go a long way in keeping you healthy. So, forget the pungent odour and focus on the benefits!
Garlic is known to be a good source of magnesium, selenium, calcium, Vitamin C and Vitamin B6. The presence of all these vital vitamins and minerals makes it beneficial for your health.
Garlic has anti-bacterial properties:
Apart from vitamins and minerals, garlic contains&nbsp;allicin, a sulphur-containing compound. This gives it a strong and pungent aroma but also makes it a fantastic antiseptic, antifungal, and antibacterial agent.
Garlic has anti-inflammatory properties:
As per an article by the Cleveland Clinic, garlic oil has anti-inflammatory properties. All you need to do is gently rub it over your sore and inflamed joints or muscles to reap the benefits.
Garlic is good for the heart:
As highlighted in a study by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, US (NCBI) there is literature that suggests that garlic consumption can help attain positive cardiovascular effects. Garlic can help lower blood pressure and reduce serum cholesterol and triglycerides.
Garlic helps get rid of pimples:
Yes, you have heard it right! As per the Cleveland Clinic, rubbing raw garlic over pimples can potentially help get rid of them. However, we do recommend consulting with a dermatologist&nbsp;before trying this remedy.&nbsp;
Knowing all these benefits might make you want to gulp down an entire bulb of garlic, but be wary as an excess of anything is not great. According to a study in the American Family Physician Journal, consuming garlic in excess can lead to flatulence and gastrointestinal issues. It is recommended that you take no more than 1-2 cloves of raw garlic and 7.2 grams of aged garlic extract per day.

Giving an artistic start to 2019, the India Art Fair in New Delhi is the perfect place to get an insider's perspective on the South-Asian art scene. Here are a few mediums that are the topical favorites of artists this year.

While it may seem basic, paper cut-outs seem to be all the rage. Where one artist framed their delicate cut-outs as is, another mixed them with carpets as an off-beat wall hanging.

Metal is another material that is being heavily explored in 2019. Smaller metal objects were used to make up bigger pieces while one artist crocheted a piece of stainless steal for a decade to create this textile masterpiece.

Not surprising, audio and video is another big theme. While some photographers are using video to make their imagery more interactive, other artists are mixing it with other mediums like installations to deliver a more complete story.
