  • Repeating clothes isn't a faux pas anymore

    by Aishwarya Repeating clothes isn't a faux pas anymore 5 November 2022 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Fashion is an integral part of our personality. We constantly take inspiration from social media and celebrities. Though we get to know the fashion trends from them, we also get the notion that we have to wear a new piece of clothing every single time. Moreso, the people who have a presence on social media get influenced by celebrities and fashion influencers. It’s almost a nightmare for social media influencers, to repeat their clothes. Even we expect them to wear new clothes every single time, which is neither possible nor viable. The celebrities we look up to are the ones who get their dresses sourced from various mediums. For a common man like us, it’s not a viable option to opt for. Repeating clothes have been made up into a controversy that, we now need to normalize it. Repeating clothes is one of the best decisions you can take because it has a lot of benefits. You don’t have to be a sustainability influencer, to promote repeating the clothes. It is a very basic thing that we all have been doing, now even celebrities are opening up about it. Many celebrities are seen repeating their clothes and owning them with confidence and grace. Now, let us see the 3 reasons why you should also repeat your clothes. SUSTAINABILITY : According to research, we almost generate 92 million tonnes of waste every year. This number is not surprising because that’s what happens when we are expected to wear new clothes every single time we step out of our house. By simply repeating your clothes, you can reduce textile wastage and carbon footprint. It is to be noted that the clothing industry generates 10% of all global carbon emissions and, it is the second biggest industrial polluter. The fast fashion culture has given rise to carbon emissions. The fashion industry has gained its profit through fast fashion, but our environment is paying for it. Fashion is all about you and, your confidence is what makes it fashionable and not the attires. DECISION FATIGUE : Do you remember the co-founder and CEO of Facebook, wearing that grey t-shirt? Well, it has become a uniform for Mark Zuckerberg. However, most billionaires wear the same set of clothing and, it has a reason for it. They are well aware of a phenomenon called decision fatigue- a fatigue that deteriorates the quality of the decision taken by human beings. Our brain requires a lot of energy for making a decision and, that is the reason why most billionaires prefer to wear the same clothes. By doing so, they reduce one more event of decision-making. It is very important for them, to manage their decision-making energy and focus on the more important ones. SAVE MONEY : We all spend so much of our income on buying new clothes. Rather we could save money by thrifting or borrowing the clothes that are mostly a one-time fashion. The dresses for weddings are expensive and one-time fashion, these can be borrowed, thrifted or, reused with different accessories. We can reuse many of our clothes by just accessorizing them differently. These tweaks will make you look put together and also save some penny for the end of the month. Repeating your clothes can be done without the fear of missing out. Fashion is to make us feel happy and confident and, even a wardrobe of 20 clothes will do it for you. Create your fashion and, be one. Create your fashion and, be one. #sustainability #slowfashion #sustainablefashion #fashion #sustainableclothing SEARCH The Rich Heritage of Indian Handloom FASHION Fashion In The 19th Century FASHION Colour Psychology in Fashion: Explained FASHION The Influence Of Kanye West On Fashion FASHION K-Pop Fashion And Its Impact On Global Wardrobe FASHION POPULAR POSTS Advertisement Advertisement By Anushka Sharma These Fashion Trends Are Literally Scary For Your Health 1 April 2024 FASHION By Anushka Sharma India Is Finally Having A Major Fashion Moment 23 March 2024 FASHION By Anushka Sharma Fashion Trends: What's Hot In 2024 22 March 2024 FASHION By Anushka Sharma Is Africa The Next World Leader In Fashion 20 March 2024 FASHION RELATED POSTS

  • Unveiling the Myth: Does Pretty Privilege Truly Exist

    By Anushka Sharma Unveiling the Myth: Does Pretty Privilege Truly Exist 17 April 2024 LIFESTYLE Advertisement In a world where Instagram filters reign supreme and beauty standards constantly evolve, the concept of pretty privilege has sparked countless debates. But what exactly is pretty privilege, and does it really exist? Let's embark on a journey through the realms of attractiveness and societal advantages to uncover the truth behind this captivating notion. First things first, what is pretty privilege? Simply put, it's the idea that attractive individuals enjoy certain benefits solely based on their appearance. From getting better job opportunities to receiving special treatment in social settings, the notion suggests that being conventionally attractive comes with its set of perks. But hold on a second! Before we jump to conclusions, let's break it down. Is pretty privilege a real phenomenon or just a figment of our imagination? Well, the answer isn't as black and white as we might think. Sure, being attractive might catch the eye of others and open some doors, but does it guarantee success and happiness? Not quite. While a beautiful face might grab attention, it's what lies beneath the surface that truly matters. Personality, skills, and character play a far more significant role in determining one's journey through life. Let's take a closer look at some common scenarios often associated with pretty privilege. Ever heard of the phrase, "Beauty opens doors"? Well, it might hold some truth. Studies have shown that attractive individuals are more likely to land job interviews and receive favorable treatment in certain situations. But does that mean they have it easy all the time? Certainly not. Consider this: A stunning applicant might catch the recruiter's eye, but it's their qualifications and skills that seal the deal. Pretty privilege might get your foot in the door, but it's your capabilities that keep it open. After all, no amount of beauty can compensate for incompetence. In social settings, attractive people might attract more attention and receive compliments more frequently. But does that translate to genuine connections and meaningful relationships? Not necessarily. True friendships and romantic connections are built on mutual respect, shared interests, and emotional compatibility, not just physical appearance. Moreover, beauty standards vary widely across cultures and individuals. What one society deems attractive might be completely different from another's perception. So, who decides what's pretty and what's not? It's all subjective. Now, let's address the elephant in the room: discrimination based on appearance. Yes, unfortunately, it does exist. Studies have shown that less attractive individuals might face prejudice in certain situations, such as hiring processes or social interactions. But does that mean pretty privilege is the flip side of the same coin? Not quite. Rather than focusing on the privileges or disadvantages associated with appearance, perhaps it's time we shift our perspective. Instead of fixating on beauty standards and societal expectations, let's celebrate diversity and individuality. After all, true beauty lies in embracing our uniqueness and loving ourselves for who we are, not how we look. So, does pretty privilege exist? Well, it's complicated. While attractiveness might open some doors, it's what we do once we're inside that truly matters. Let's strive to create a world where everyone is judged based on their character, skills, and contributions rather than their appearance. After all, that's where true privilege lies – in being valued for who we are, not how we look.

  • Blood Falls In Antarctica: Explained

    by Aishwarya Blood Falls In Antarctica: Explained 11 February 2023 TRAVEL Advertisement Advertisement You might have heard about waterfalls, but have you heard about blood falls? Yes, as creepy and scary as it sounds, blood falls isn’t blood falling from a cliff. Blood falls is situated in Antarctica, the ice-covered continent of the earth. While many researchers are keen on researching and preventing this ice-covered continent, some of them found out that this blood-red colour waterfall has no explanation for its colour. Antarctica is the coldest place on the planet, and the average annual temperature around the Blood Falls is around -17 degrees. This area is located within Victoria Land, west of McMurdo Sound. Now, you might be thinking if we can visit Blood Falls. Well, to answer that, Atlas Obscura has said that Blood Falls can only be reached by helicopter from the McMurdo Station (U.S.). The colour of the Blood Falls was initially identified as red algae . Now, a study in the Journal of Glaciology has revealed the true origin of Blood Falls with the help of radar to scan the layers of ice from which the river pours. The deep red fall was discovered in the year 1911 when scientists noticed a river that stained the surrounding cliff of ice with a dark red colour. Though the theory behind the red colour was believed to be the effect of algae, thanks to research by the University of Alaska Fairbanks , which revealed the true origin of Blood Falls. The study boils down to describing the red colour of the oxidized iron in brine saltwater, the same process that gives the iron a dark red colour when it rusts. The research team obtained the glacier using radio-echo sounding to map out the features below the glacier. The super-saturated brine that makes up the river allows the stark density contrast in RES compared to non-saline ice. The research team also calculated that the water approximately takes 1.5 million years to finally reach Blood Falls as it makes its way through fissures and channels in the glacier. You might think that the water would be frozen in place as it sits below a thick layer of ice. However, many aspects allow the water to remain liquid. One of the many aspects is the release of latent heat associated with water freezing, this low amount of heat contributes to keeping the water as a liquid. Furthermore, the water super-saturated with salt freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water. Another interesting fact is that Blood Falls also contains microbes that can survive in extreme conditions. These microbial communities can live with sulfates in the water. They provide hints on how life could have developed on other plants that lack oxygen. The Blood Falls in Antartica is no less than a miracle. It is full of new discoveries and mysteries. We need to be more careful with our environment, as there are more such amazing things to discover, before destroying them. The colour of the Blood Falls was initially identified as red algae . Now, a study in the Journal of Glaciology has revealed the true origin of Blood Falls with the help of radar to scan the layers of ice from which the river pours.

  • How To Organize Your Wardrobe

    by Prarthana Rohatgi How To Organize Your Wardrobe 16 February 2023 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Expression is important. The human race has excelled in expressing itself with symbols like the car we drive, the literature we consume, or the clothes we wear. For some people, Fashion is a means of self-expression; it depicts our identity differently. The colors we wear, the style we choose, etc. Organization of your closet means a lot, like organizing your identity. Watching tik tok and vlogs for ideas or as a good sport is easy and fun, but doing the work is intimidating. If you need help and wondering where and how to begin, we've got a guide for you. 1. Declutter: The first step to organizing anything is to declutter. Empty your wardrobe. Clean every nook and corner. Think of emptying your closet like a cleanse. Someone clumsy might find various items you've lost over the years. Earrings that went missing months ago, shoes you have never worn, bags you don't remember owning, or clothes you have been searching for. Organizing anything is impossible if all the objects aren't present, which is why cleaning is essential. Cleaning brings with it some difficult decisions. What to keep and what not to. Tough, thoughtful decisions have to be made. Donate or discard items that you no longer need. Repurpose other items if you can. 2. Categorize The next step is categorizing. Categorizing is for convenience. Every person can have a different preference. Categorizing by seasons. Having easy access to seasonal clothes in regions with extreme climates, like those of the temperate region, can be very convenient Categorizing by color: This makes your wardrobe aesthetically pleasing. There is nothing more satisfying than having a color-coordinated closet. Categorizing by Style: Casual, sports, party, or traditional. Instead of having them all mismatched. Placing them in order helps you find them faster. If you're a last-minute dresser, this will make things easier. 3. Maximise space To maximize the storage of your closet use storage solutions like hanging organizers, shelf dividers, or boxes. Make sure to choose solutions that fit your specific needs and the dimensions of your closet. Make use of vertical space. Install additional hanging rods to maximize the use of the vertical space in your closet. It can help you store more items and have easy access. Once you have cleaned and organized your closet, only one thing remains: Maintaining your wardrobe. Regularly tidy up your closet and think of innovative ways to access your storage. You now have your brand-new closet ready for its debut. Like Amy fine collins said, "Opening your closet should be like arriving at a really good party where everyone you see is someone you like." #fashion #closetclense #organazing #maximisespace #declutter #newclosetnewyou SEARCH The Rich Heritage of Indian Handloom FASHION Fashion In The 19th Century FASHION Colour Psychology in Fashion: Explained FASHION The Influence Of Kanye West On Fashion FASHION K-Pop Fashion And Its Impact On Global Wardrobe FASHION POPULAR POSTS Advertisement Advertisement By Anushka Sharma These Fashion Trends Are Literally Scary For Your Health 1 April 2024 FASHION By Anushka Sharma India Is Finally Having A Major Fashion Moment 23 March 2024 FASHION By Anushka Sharma Fashion Trends: What's Hot In 2024 22 March 2024 FASHION By Anushka Sharma Is Africa The Next World Leader In Fashion 20 March 2024 FASHION RELATED POSTS

  • 8 Teenage Girl Fashion Ideas For Your First Date

    by Yashi Srivastava 8 Teenage Girl Fashion Ideas For Your First Date 11 February 2023 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Imagine this. You are finally going on your first date, and you have so many outfit ideas hovering inside your brain. From make-up to hair to footwear and your attire, there is so much to do and prepare for, right? But if you worry about your ensemble, when will you revel in the excitement of going on your first date? Well, this is the part where we step in. Even though there is no doubt that you will wear something swoon-worthy on your date, we want you to make (read-create) a fashion statement! To help you with the same, we have curated a list of some spectacular fashion ideas that not only scream style but also whisper class. Check these ideas below and let us know how you like them! 1. Throw in the colors According to many stylists, the best colors to wear on a date are black, blue, red, and white. While we agree with them, we want you to experiment with many yellows, oranges, and greens. For example, how about exhibiting this bright yellow skirt with a floral yet funky slim jacket and casual white top? You can match the same with super-chic sneakers or black heels as well. Extra points for leaving your hair open and carefree with those stylish shades and minimal make-up. If you like this combination, you would love this printed dress that encompasses countless colors that are vibrant in every sense of the world. Pairing this dress with either loose hair or a relaxed fishtail would give you a look with this feminine dress. The look will quadruple your style statement if you wear heeled boots in a shade of brown. You must, however, always choose to wear shoes that you feel comfortable there. You got the idea, right? 2. Keep it simple but sexy Many teen girls don’t appreciate the idea of garnering too much attention on their first date. It is quite understandable since you are only breaking into the dating world. So, it is excellent to keep it soft, supple, and straightforward, but to make a statement of your own; you have to make it all sexy. So, how about this gorgeous combo of a brick-red halter top and linen high-waisted black skirt? It is simple, comfy, and subtle with a touch of sexy, and that’s precisely how you would like it! With this pairing, you can make a loose plait or twist and fold your hair while letting them go wherever they want. To add a pinch of calm, you wear converse with visible socks or classy flats, peep toes, or simple heels to go with it. Here’s another idea for you to bring sexy with your simple! All you have to do is get your hands on a grey or a dull-brown fit and flare dress and fuse it with a lace shrug. You can also accentuate the look by wearing thin-rimmed glasses with elegant earrings, a pretty necklace, or a choker. An elegant anklet won’t hurt when paired with casual chappals or flats. 3. Monotone Aesthetic When nothing makes sense, go mono! In other words, you can never go wrong with a monotone dress, co-ed, or whatever keeps your vibe flowing. For example, check out this gorgeous all-pink bodycon dress coordinated with silver-rimmed black sunglasses. You can choose the shades that go well with your face and leave your hair open, clip them up, or go for a loose bun. Now the footwear could be anything from flats to wedges to heels and even white Nike sneakers to go with it – you will look spectacular in any of those! About the make-up part, we’d tell you to choose dark and smoky eyes with nude lipstick, and you would blow their minds! 4. Class it up with layers! Every young girl knows how classy it is to ensemble your fashion statement in layers and how challenging it is to pull them off on your first date! If you want to do it right, here’s another idea! Our pick is this shoulder tunic blouse blended with a stunning corset belt. Wear khaki trousers or regular jeans for the bottom, and you will be good to go! We believe you can go for sneakers or stompers with this one, but many girls would love to wear elegant flats with flowy trousers or so! With this one, you can add charm bracelets, hoop earrings, a nose pin, or a watch. Minimal make-up with nude lips is undoubtedly the way to go with! Not to forget, a messy or top bun would amp up this look, but we believe it is eventually the style you feel most comfortable in! 5. Black is the color of all seasons Finally, a fashion idea all teenagers will agree on! Black, and it is, by all means, the color of every season in all fashions! So, what would be an ideal black fit for a perfect date night? Let’s start with this easy and comfortable fit that you can quickly put together – a casual black top paired with a long pleated skirt and sleek black belt that adds extra oomph to the entire ensemble. Your whole aura would scream with a new class genre when paired with ankle-length and high-heeled boots - bonus points for carrying this look with pixie-cut, Harry Potter’s dark-rimmed circular glasses, and dark lips. Since we are talking about the color of all seasons, it would be only fair to add ideas to your wardrobe. So, let’s go for a look that would work breathtakingly well on a winter night. You must get a body-hugging top and wear it with black tights or skinny-fit jeans with knee-length black boots. The charm of this outfit would be an Italian wool-mix jacket, and you would be good to go! We recommend red lipstick to go with the look since it will make you glow under the moonlit night. How about throwing a woolen scarf around your neck as well? The choice is yours, by all means! 6. Elegance goes a long way, even as a teenager! Whether you are 18 or 30, elegance will never leave the building! So, we decided to suggest some simple yet impressive ways to carry your grace where ever you go – especially if it’s the first date of your life! Here is an example of the same. Dirty blue full-sleeved lace top tucked in a dark blue maxi skirt. Let’s not forget the white-rimmed tinted sunglasses that add adventure to the entire fit! Trust us; you won’t go wrong with this one. Go ahead and add your style to your hair or choose between free-flowing locks or a braided bun and rock the whole look with a stiletto in your choice of color. When talking about elegance, we certainly cannot leave this look behind. This gorgeous black fit crop top and cut out mustard skirt is thus far, our favorite look for teenage girls going out on their first date. Don’t forget to amp the look up with those breathtaking dangler earrings and stilettos. Leave your hair open and put on pastel shades of shadow with heavy mascara and liner. You can leave the lips nude or a shade of pink and you would be good to go! 7. Cute girl casuals As a teenager, perhaps the most comfortable fashion statement would be to wear a pair of jeans with a white t-shirt and style your hair in a ponytail, and that’s it. Well, you are right, and it’s precisely what we expect you to do! Here’s the look for you!

From her electrifying performances to her unparalleled influence in fashion, Beyoncé has long been a trailblazer in the entertainment industry. Now, she has added another accolade to her illustrious career with the launch of her own hair care brand, Cécred . Cécred is not just another celebrity-endorsed product line—it's a passion project rooted in Beyoncé's personal journey and heritage. Drawing inspiration from her upbringing in her mother's salon, Beyoncé's vision for Cécred is deeply intertwined with her own experiences and the lessons she learned along the way. That is what makes the brand rooted in one’s reality. "I grew up sweeping hair in my mother's salon. So much of who I am came from there," Beyoncé reflects. "I saw how she transformed hair by mixing mainstream products with textured hair care." With Cécred, Beyoncé aims to honor the traditions of the past while embracing the latest advancements in hair science. The brand's approach is simple yet profound: hair is sacred, and it deserves to be treated as such. Whether your hair is curly, coily, straight, or somewhere in between, Cécred believes that everyone deserves products that are safe, effective, and transformative. "Our Cécred approach is centered around the idea that hair care should be about more than just aesthetics," Beyoncé explains. "It's about nourishing your hair from the inside out, strengthening it, and honoring its natural beauty." Hair care is definitely more than what you see by the naked eye. It is about honing it from within. At the heart of Cécred's philosophy is a commitment to innovation and performance. The brand's products are formulated with a unique blend of rich conditioners, fortifying proteins, and advanced scientific technologies to address the specific needs of textured hair. Whether you're dealing with dryness, breakage, or lackluster strands, Cécred offers solutions that deliver visible results. "We don't just dress hair with cosmetic sheen," Beyoncé declares. "We combine our patent-pending technology with the wisdom and rituals passed down through generations to deliver high-performing formulas for strength, length retention, moisture, and shine." But Cécred is more than just a haircare brand—it's a celebration of self-care and empowerment. By prioritizing the needs of textured hair and challenging the status quo, Beyoncé hopes to inspire others to embrace their natural beauty and prioritize themselves. "Cécred is about prioritizing yourself and all the things you hold sacred," Beyoncé affirms. "It's about celebrating diversity, embracing individuality, and redefining standards of beauty." With its powerful message and unparalleled quality, Cécred is poised to make a lasting impact on the beauty industry and beyond.

    By Akshay T S Inner Joy Trails My Inspiration : A Candid Conversation With The Creative Anushka Kaushik 29 May 2023 COVER STORIES Advertisement Advertisement In an exclusive interview with L'utopia, the versatile Anushka Kaushik, a woman of many talents, unveils her journey into being an actor and an influencer. She strongly believes in cherishing the process and having fun as the recipe for great content. Hailing from Uttar Pradesh, Anushka always dreamt of being an actor. During her academics, she started partaking in professional theatre. Which eventually led her to give auditions. Soon featuring in films like 'SP Chauhan' and 'Ujda Chaman' to cement her acting career, Anushka has now been featured in over 250+ videos, including YouTube sketches and mini-shows with over 300m + views. Already proven herself as a force to be reckoned with, she has impressed everyone with her performance in Netflix's movie 'Thar' alongside Anil Kapoor, Harshvardhan Kapoor, and Satish Kaushik. Her memorable performances include roles in 'Ghar Waapsi' on Disney+ Hotstar and Amazon Prime's original series 'Crash Course.' She has also been hugely appreciated for her challenging and impeccable portrayal of a rape victim in 'Maharani S2' alongside Huma Qureshi. Within less than a year in the mainstream industry, the talented actress has earned multiple accolades for her acting, including a Filmfare OTT nomination for best actor. Beyond her acting prowess, Anushka wholeheartedly embraces her role as a content creator. Speaking with L'utopia, Anushka shares her initial inspirations from acting to creating content. What started her journey as a mere audience traversed her into becoming a creator with half a million followers on her Instagram. By understanding what she really wanted to make, Anushka now cherishes the internal joy of creating content and sharing it with her audience. When asked about her process for generating ideas, Anushka draws the line with relatability. Expressing that there is always a choice—in creating what she enjoys and what appeases a mass audience. She believes in narrowing both to make it enjoyable. She goes on to speak about her favorite genre. As an actor, Anushka enjoys working on scripts that entails thrill, drama, and suspense sequences. In short-form content, like reels, she rejoices in watching and creating fun and light-hearted content. In recalling "not fun but a sad behind-the-scenes moment," Anushka remembers passing her phone to a teammate to film her conversation with Anil Kapoor at an award function during a time crunch. But later, she discovered that the person had not even recorded the interaction, which still haunts her as a sad memory. Passionately revealing her favorite influencers, Anushka mentions RJ Abhinav, Ashish Chanchlani, Prajakta Koli, Srishtipatch, and many more. She shows her genuine appreciation for other creators by connecting and appreciating them through direct messages. Trailing her Instagram story, she talks about her journey from acting on a sketch for tvf timeliners on youtube that went viral. As she gained traction, she remembers having a private account, which later became this huge platform for fun and engaging content. As Instagram introduced reels, she recalls watching a lot of content which, in turn, paved the way for her creative journey. That's when she says she felt like making content on Instagram. On sharing her experience, Anushka advises someone who wants to create content on Instagram: "Enjoy creating content that you like, and don't just do it because everyone else is doing it." She also blends in the advice for finding balance while creating content; she believes if one can make it their lifestyle, it doesn't burden them as "work" but rather will enjoy creating in and itself. Today, Anushka feels fortunate and blessed to work with successful and renowned filmmakers, performing lead character roles and winning hearts. In her upcoming projects, she has wrapped shooting for a feature film 'Patna Shukla' under Arbaaz Khan production alongside Satish Kaushik, Raveena Tandon, and Chandan Roy Sanyal.

  • Building Opportunities And Expanding Horizons: An Interview With Actor Or Writer Meghana Kaushik

    by Aadhya Venkatesh Building Opportunities And Expanding Horizons: An Interview With Actor Or Writer Meghana Kaushik 30 June 2022 COVER STORIES Advertisement Advertisement Meghana Kaushik is a multitalented actress and writer who aspires to do great work in the entertainment industry. Wishing to leave her mark, she thrives on the competition she faces. Meghana identifies the kind of work that she needs to do to justify her talent. "As an artist, your goals are clear to you", she says. While speaking about recognizing opportunities, she said that one must always be prepared for the golden opportunity, ready to strike it with complete determination when it does occur. Stemming from the need to create such 'golden opportunities' for herself and others, she began writing for the screen. "As a writer, I can tell stories and narratives that I, as an actor, would like to act in". Meghana also believes that writing stories that she believes in will allow her to talk about subjects that need to be voiced. Meghana comes from theatre and has trained with Barry John as she always believes in improving her craft. Her foray into acting has been a learning curve. Belonging to a family with no connection to the industry, she had to learn everything about the process from scratch. The downside to this is that she has been dropped from many projects because she is not well-connected or comparatively well-known. She hopes that she can eventually work with creators that "cast actors based on their talent instead of social media follower count". Wishing to travel the world with her career, she wants to stand out in her field. She sees herself on the world stage, winning internationally acclaimed awards for her work while simultaneously creating a space of recognition for Indian talent. Currently, she is working on two feature films, one of which she is co-writing. Her inspiration in the field ranges from Madhubala, Waheeda Rehman, Sridevi and Alia Bhatt in the Indian film industry to icons such as Audrey Hepburn, Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, Natalie Portman, and Emily Blunt, amongst others. One of the easiest roles Meghana has played to date has been Nikita from Love, Lust, and Confusion. She believes that the character helped bring out her alter-ego, a person who was free-spirited, fashionable and non-judgmental about life and choices. Meghana strives to be a leader in a world full of followers. She urges those around her to remain positive in their lives and not let our differences and flaws bring us down. She propagates empowerment through acceptance of personal flaws with flair and grace. "Set yourself small goals to start with, and love yourself first" is the mantra she wishes to share. In a message to the youth, she pushes them to take charge and pave the way for the world to become a better place. She champions everyone to use their energies to protect fundamental human rights and promotes education for all. "We always need to be mindful and dream big. It is pertinent that we do not get caught up in mediocrity". All Meghana wants is for people to get over being lazy and take charge of their own lives, ultimately initiating a change that starts at the individual level.
