Adult colouring books are a lifesaver, for some
By Nora Krug The Washington Post
Dee Ledger can remember ex-
actly when she found solace, if
not salvation, after the death
of her 10-week-old son, Obed.
It is where she found it, and how, that
surprised her: in a colouring book.
Ledger, a former English teach-
er and hospice chaplain, had always
been able to use words and prayer to
find peace in difficult times and to help
others do the same. But after her son
died in April 2011, she needed some-
thing more, something different, to
calm her nerves and help soothe her
grief. “I was looking for something
quiet that could get rid of this rest-
lessness,” she says, to help quell the
churning thoughts that made it hard
for her to focus or sleep.
Back then, colouring books weren’t
the phenomenon they are today. Ledg-
er found hers in a spiritual catalogue.
Now, of course, adult colouring
books are ubiquitous, crowding book-
stores and bestseller lists. Colouring-
book groups have sprouted up every-
where — in cafes and libraries, on Fa-
cebook and Instagram.
In 2015, an estimated 12 million
adult colouring books were sold in the
United States, according to Nielsen
Bookscan. There are adult colouring
books for hipsters, “Dr. Who” fans, cat
lovers, Taylor Swift devotees, and ad-
mirers of Supreme Court Justice Ruth
Bader Ginsburg — pretty much anyone
with a niche interest and a need to re-
lax. In other words, everyone.
“It’s easy to pooh-pooh colour-
ing books as just another fad,” Ledg-
er says. But maybe, she says, we
shouldn’t be so dismissive: “Anything
can be a fad, even prayer.”
For Ledger and others, colouring
books offer a real elixir, a way of get-
ting past hurdles — mental, physical
or both — that can’t be replicated by
more-traditional approaches.
Joanne Schwandes, a 67-year-old
Silver Spring, Maryland, resident, says
that colouring books have boosted her
confidence in fine motor skills weak-
ened by a tremor in her arm.
A Virginia mother says that colour-
ing has helped her stay calm in the
face of her son’s violent behaviour. On
one Facebook colouring group, mem-
bers share their creations along with
their stories of healing — using colour-
ing as a tool against self-harming or as
a way to manage the effects of phys-
ical illness or fend off depression and
other difficulties.
Colouring books work like other
mindfulness techniques such as yoga
and meditation, says Craig Sawchuk, a
clinical psychologist at the Mayo Clin-
ic in Rochester, Minnesota. Such ap-
proaches work “almost like a volume
knob to turn down the sympathetic
nervous system, the stress response.”
Colouring can help slow down heart
rate and respiration, loosen muscles
and stimulate the brain, he says. Col-
ouring has a “grounding effect” he says,
a benefit that can be amplified with de-
liberate focus on the process — “the
gentle pressing of the crayon or pen-
cil on the page, the texture of the paper
across your hand, and the soft sounds
of the colouring instrument moving
back and forth in a rhythmic fashion,”
he says.

Although there have been no large
clinical studies of colouring books, the
benefits of colouring are compara-
ble to those of mindfulness practic-
es, he says, which have been studied.
And colouring can help with more-se-
vere problems beyond stress; Sawchuk
spoke about one patient who used col-
ouring books to stop an obsessive hab-
it of picking at her skin.
Indeed, art therapists have been us-
ing colouring books for years. “There’s
a self-soothing meditative benefit be-
cause you are doing the same motion
over and over, especially with symmet-
rical drawings,” says Lina Assad Cates,
a psychotherapist and board-certified
art therapist in Washington who uses
colouring books as part of her practice.
“The books help create boundaries —
the literal boundaries of the lines and
the metaphorical boundaries for draw-
ing healthy boundaries in relationships.
There’s also the potential benefit of just
mastering something you’ve created.”
This reflects Ledger’s experience.
“As a pastor, I am fascinated by how
easily colouring becomes meditative,”
she says. “By selecting colours and
working with the design, I find that I
can lose myself in ways that are heal-
ing and creative.”
Ledger, who lost her husband to
cancer in 2013, less than a year after
giving birth to twins, spends about
three hours a week colouring, mostly
at night, when her children are asleep
and she can sit quietly in the kitch-
en of her Rockville, home and gather
her thoughts. (Her sons, Griffin and Eli,
have their own colouring books.)
Now pastor at Bethesda United
Church of Christ in Maryland, Ledg-
er approaches her hobby with a mix
of pride and self-deprecating hu-
mour. “I’m not an artist,” she says as
she spreads out her works on her bed.
Some she keeps in a hardback bind-
er, others in a small journal that fits
in her purse. In a small office carved
out of a second bedroom, her pencils
and markers are neatly organised in
plastic containers that once held Cas-
cade detergent. Ledger, 46, has col-
oured her way not only through grief
but also through physical pain. When
she had back surgery a few years ago,
she asked the doctors to make sure
that the intravenous lines were in her
right arm so that she could use her left,
her colouring arm, as soon as she was
awake. “I literally coloured in the recov-
ery room at the hospital,” she says.
Still, she understands that colouring
is neither a panacea nor for everyone.
“If someone was grieving, I wouldn’t
just pay a visit on them and say, ‘You
should colour, and that would take your
grief away,’ “ she explains. “I don’t be-
lieve that.” But colouring has given her
a sense of power in a life that has spun
wildly off plan. “Being able to sit there
and actually control that little world” in-
side a colouring book has been “real-
ly instrumental in my starting a new
chapter of my life,” she says. “I don’t
know if you ever fully heal from loss
and trauma. But colouring has defi-
nitely helped me start a new life again.”
The benefits of colouring are comparable to those of mindfulness practices. And colouring can help with more-severe problems beyond stress as well.

08 | WEDNESDAY 11 MAY 2016
By Jayne Orenstein The Washington Post
Avocado toast has come to de-
fine what makes food trends
this decade: It’s healthy and
yet ever-so-slightly indulgent.
It can be made vegan and gluten-free.
It’s so Instagrammable that #avoca-
dotoast has over 100,000 posts. And
most important of all: It is wholeheart-
edly endorsed by Gwyneth Paltrow.
Tracking down the origin of avo-
cado toast is not as simple as tracing
back the Chinese chicken salad trend
to Wolfgang Puck’s Chinois. It’s not in
“The Joy of Cooking” or some other go-
to master cookbook, mainly because
it does not require a recipe. In areas
where avocados are commonly found,
like Mexico, California and Australia,
people have always eaten the fruit on
corn tortillas or toast. Mexican chef Pa-
ti Jinich joked that the Latin American
version is avocado “tostada,” since the
tortilla might be toasted.
Avocado toast as we know it to-
day started to take hold in the early
1990s. The first recorded sighting on a
menu might be in 1993 when Sydney
chef Bill Granger started serving it at
his cafe. Then in 1999, British chef Ni-
gel Slater suggested a smashed avoca-
do on toast recipe in his column for the
Guardian.
In the United States, New York’s
Café Gitane is often cited as the origi-
nator of the dish, and can be credited
as the source for many copycats — es-
pecially the ones that are often seen
on Instagram, perfectly dotted with
red pepper flakes.
Café Gitane owner Luc Levy and
Chef Chloe Osborne said the dish has
definitely been on the menu since
2006, but it could have been served
even earlier than that. As a child in
Australia, Osborne would visit a fami-
ly friend in Queensland, where she was
served avocado on toast.
“The thing of putting things on toast
is very Australian,” Osborne remarked
recently over the phone. “It stems from
the British breakfast. Fresh tomatoes
on toast has been an Australian break-
fast for a long time.”
The Internet seized on Cafe Gitane’s
avocado toast, which is why the res-
taurant is often cited as the “OG of av-
ocado toast.” Prominent food blogs
seized on the simplicity of the dish and
posted recipes based on Gitane’s ver-
sion. In 2008, The Kitchn posted a rec-
ipe re-creating it, and earlier this year,
Deb Perelman, who runs Smitten Kitch-
en, credited the restaurant for the rec-
ipe that she published.
Probably the most prominent mo-
ment in avocado toast history, howev-
er, was when Paltrow included a reci-
pe for it in her 2013 cookbook, “It’s All
Good.” In it, she acknowledges how
stupidly simple it is: “Truthfully this is
one ‘recipe’ both Julia [co-author] and
I make and eat most often! And it’s not
even a recipe,” she writes.
“It’s the holy trinity of Vegenaise, av-
ocado and salt that makes this like a
favourite pair of jeans — so reliable and
easy and always just what you want.”
(In her new cookbook, “It’s All Easy,”
she includes three recipes for avoca-
do toast.)
Food bloggers started copying
her recipe and introducing their own
versions. Bon Appétit magazine pub-
lished a recipe for “Your New Avocado
Toast” in its January 2015 issue. It’s on
T-shirts. In March, viral worlds briefly
collided when Meryl Streep was turned
into avocado toast on the @tasteof-
streep Instagram.
At this rate, it seems like we haven’t
even reached peak avocado toast —
which is a literal thing. If you look at
the Google Trends data, searches for
“avocado toast” continue to rise.
The recipe has been personal-
ised and iterated on by so many rep-
utable chefs and food magazines that
it has elevated avocado toast from a
simple way to showcase avocado to a
food trend to a visual feast as iconic
as baked Alaska. Now avocado toast is
more than just a meal — it’s a meme.

Care for your hair in simple steps this summer!IANS
With heat, humidity and
dust playing spoilsport to
the hair during summers,
they require that extra
dose of nourishment! To help solve the
problem, conditioning is important to
avoid dull and dry tresses, experts say.
Thirumal Raj, CEO and Founder of
Advanced Beauty and Cosmetic Clinic,
summed up a few tips stressing the im-
portance of conditioning to avoid dull,
dry hair. Besides, drinking lots of water
and eating the right food is crucial to
promoting hair growth, he points out.
Here are a few tips:
Regular hair wash: Pollution and
dust combined with sweat tend to ac-
cumulate on the scalp, which results
in hair fall. Choose a shampoo that re-
moves the right amount of oil from
your scalp. Wash hair frequently with
a mild shampoo and a good condition-
er to stop your hair from splitting and
drying out.
Deep conditioning: Summer heat
can wreak havoc with your hair and
can leave it dull and dry. Conditioning
becomes imperative in this scenario.
Oil your hair regularly to revitalise
dull and dry strands of hair. A little oil
on the scalp helps stimulate blood flow
and relieves stress.
You can also apply some Shea but-
ter on the strands for a lustrous post-
wash look. An easy hack for making an
effective conditioner at home is rinsing
your hair with diluted apple cider.
Eat and drink right: It is advis-
able to consume healthy foods such
as green leafy vegetables, salads and
fresh fruits to improve the condition of
your hair in the summer. Low water in-
take in this season can cause dehydra-
tion.
This will not only damage your skin
but will also lead to hair loss and dry
scalp. Drink plenty of water and eat the
right food to promote hair growth.
Use a scarf: It is essential to cov-
er head with a cotton scarf to protect
tresses from the scorching heat. This
will also save your hair from dust, pol-
lution and wind.
Trim it or keep it short: To escape
from the sweltering heat and humid
climate, it is advisable to keep your hair
short or trim them.
Have your hair trimmed once a
month to remove any dry or split ends
that may have occurred in the summer.
Cutting tresses short means low main-
tenance, which will keep the hair thick-
er, too.
Heel size as a fashion statementIANS
If you want to know how ambitious
your female friend is, look — and not
kneel — at her heels. According to re-
searchers, a woman’s choice to fit in
with a crowd or stand out may depend
on the size of her high heels which ex-
plains the deep human urge to gain
status in the society.
The findings showed that women
adopt local trends — like changing the
size of heels — while moving to richer
parts of the city but ignore them when
they move to socio-economically low-
er areas. “In other words, most women
want to look like rich girls and different
from the poor girls,” said Kurt Gray, as-
sistant professor at University of North
Carolina in the US.
While moving to posh cities, wom-
en tend to closely try and match the
size of their heels with the heel size
of other women in that city, showing
a deep desire for conformity. Howev-
er, on the contrary, in a bid to keep up
with their individuality, they match the
size of their heels with the size of their
own past purchases, when shifting to
poorer localities.
The researchers labelled this phe-
nomenon as “trickle down conformi-
ty”, because fashion preferences trick-
le down from the top but seldom up
from the bottom. “From the begin-
ning of time, people have thirsted for
respect and social standing, and have
aligned themselves with the power-
ful and distanced themselves from the
powerless. So it makes sense that they
do the same with heel sizes,” Gray ex-
plained in the paper published in the
journal PLOS ONE.
This “aspirational fashion” of people
want to look rich is getting more prev-
alent, with the increasing inequality
in society and widening gap between
rich and poor.
To examine this trend, the re-
searchers teamed up with a large-on-
line fashion retailer. They examined the
size of high heels in five years of shoe
purchases — 16,236 in total — of 2007
women who moved between one of
180 US cities. Such aspirations also fuel
the fortunes of fashion sites that pro-
vide high-status goods for low prices,
the researchers noted, adding that the
phenomenon may also apply to men.
“Men do the same thing when they
purchase clothes, electronics or cars,”
Gray said.

Nutritional therapy for kidney stonesBy Fatima Nabil The Peninsula
Kidney stones is the formation
of hard mass in the kidneys.
This mass is usually made of
calcium and oxalate. These
formation of stones are known as ne-
phrolithiasis.
Causes of kidney stones
The prevalence of kidney stones is
usually found more in men than wom-
en during the age of 30-60 years. Kid-
ney stones are usually made up of cal-
cium, ammonia, uric acid or cystine (it
is an amino acid which helps in build-
ing protein). If any of these substanc-
es are higher than usual in our body
they convert into hard mass and form
stones in our kidneys. The other most
common factor of stone formation is
drinking less fluids than recommend-
ed. Fluids helps in cleaning waste
products and pass them through our
body via urine.
If kidney stones are small enough
they pass out through urine with the
help of medication and drinking plen-
ty of fluids. If they are larger in size
they can be removed through surgical
procedures.
Symptoms of kidney stones
Most of the time kidney stones are
small and pass out from the body and
many times they remain undetected
due to no symptoms. When kidney
stones are larger in size it causes se-
vere pain which is known as renal col-
ic, the most common symptom of kid-
ney stones are urinary tract infection,
in this situation kidney stones are stuck
in the urethra or in the ureter which
cause pain and difficulty in urination as
well. Restlessness and frequent need
to urinate are other symptoms.
Nutrinional guidelines for kidney stone patients
Those who have kidney stones
should drink plenty of fluids to avoid
blockage in the kidneys. Physicians
recommend at least 3 litres of water
per day in a moderate weather, if the
weather is too hot then water intake
should be increased as per need. Low
sodium and low oxalate diet is rec-
ommended during this disease. Per
day 40-50 mg of oxalates are recom-
mended. Oxalate rich foods are spin-
ach, okra, beets, cashew, peanuts
and almonds are very high sources of
oxalates.
Decrease sodium in your diet
Studies have suggested that if
someone has calcium stone he should
restrict sodium rich foods from his di-
et instead of decreasing calcium in-
take, sodium should be restricted up
to 2000mg from the daily diet. For
decreasing sodium intake avoid hav-
ing canned foods, canned foods are
dipped in syrup which usually have
high sodium content. Beware of read-
ing food labels before purchasing
canned food to avoid extra sodium
intake from the diet. Avoid sprinkling
extra spices and salt before having
any food. Processed foods also have
high sodium content; avoid consum-
ing them as well.
Decrease oxalate rich foods
Oxalates are some salts present in
the natural food which helps in bind-
ing calcium from our body. it is re-
quired for our body, but if someone
has calcium oxalate stones he has
to limit oxalate rich foods up to 40-
50 mg from the diet, as I mentioned
above oxalate rich foods are spinach,
okra, sweet potatoes, beans, egg-
plant, dried apricots, they have very
high content of oxalates from fruits
and vegetable source, avoid using
nuts that are almonds, cashew, pea-
nuts, hazelnuts, pecans, tahini and but-
ter from the fat and oils source. From
protein source avoid using peanut but-
ter, dried beans, and processed meat.
From bread and cereal group avoid
using white corn flour, soy beans and
fried potatoes. Avoid chocolate and
marmalades from sweets group. Stud-
ies have suggested that many oxalate
rich foods are good for health, so do
not over restrict your diet from oxalate
rich foods.
Decrease high purine foods
If someone has uric acid stone he
has to limit purine rich foods from
the diet, purine rich foods are animal
foods that are beef, organ meat and
shellfish which has the tendency to in-
crease uric acid. Make sure to follow a
healthy diet which includes fruits, veg-
etables, whole grain foods and poul-
try. Avoid using alcohol, caffeinated
foods and sweet beverages which on-
ly increase uric acid and has zero nu-
tritional value.

Broadway hit ‘Hamilton’ is making millions
By Gerry Smith Bloomberg
The Broadway hit “Hamilton” is
making millions. It could be mak-
ing millions more if not for scalp-
ers snapping up seats and hawk-
ing them for $2,000 a piece or more.
At least $30,000 from every show
goes to ticket resellers instead of the mu-
sical’s investors, producers and cast, ac-
cording to Matt Rousu, an economics pro-
fessor at Susquehanna University. With
eight shows a week, that comes out to
$240,000 every seven days, or almost
$12.5 million a year filling the pockets of
brokers, he said.
It’s become such a problem that the
show’s producers are considering almost
doubling premium-priced “Hamilton”
tickets to $995 to keep more of the prof-
it for themselves, according to the New
York Post. The move is one of several ex-
periments playing out in the ongoing cat-
and-mouse game on Broadway between
show producers and brokers.
The producers “are having discussion
after discussion about what they should
do about this,” said Mitch Weiss, a Broad-
way manager and author of the book
“The Business of Broadway.” “They don’t
want to charge people that much to see
a show. But if someone is going to make
money, it ought to be the people who
work on it.”
Broadway ticket brokers aren’t new,
but they are cashing in on “Hamilton” like
never before as its popularity reaches a
fever pitch. The show, a hip-hop musi-
cal about the first US Treasury secretary,
drew a record 16 Tony Award nomina-
tions, including for Best Musical. Its crea-
tor, Lin-Manuel Miranda, won the Pulitzer
Prize for Drama last month.
Demand is so high that the produc-
tion in a tweet said more than 50,000
people tried to enter a lottery for $10 tick-
ets in January and the website. Tickets
are now sold out through January 2017,
according to Ticketmaster’s website.
Brokers buy tickets to live events in
bulk using illegal software called “ticket
bots,” according to a report in January
by the New York Attorney General’s office.
Ticketmaster, which has a deal with some
Broadway theater owners, tries to thwart
bots by requiring buyers to type charac-
ters into a box to prove that they’re hu-
man.
Yet sophisticated brokers get around
this by employing armies of “typers” —
or human workers in foreign countries
where labor is cheap — to type the se-
curity phrases into the boxes in real-time,
the report found. Each year “tens of thou-
sands” of tickets to live events like con-
certs are bought by ticket bots, crowding
out human buyers and causing prices for
good seats to soar, according to the re-
port. “Ticketing, to put it bluntly, is a fixed
game,” the Attorney General’s office said
in the report. Catherine Martin, a spokes-
woman for Ticketmaster, said in a state-
ment that the company uses “best-in-
class bot-blocking technology.” Ticket-
master “welcomes additional efforts to
help ensure tickets get into the hands of
fans,” she said.
The producers of “Hamilton” declined
to comment for this story. Jeffrey Sell-
er, the lead producer, told the New York
Times last month that a broker armed
with a “bot” purchased 20,000 tickets
to the show. Even when the brokers get
caught, “they figure out a new way to
hack the system. It’s frustrating, and it’s
infuriating,” Seller said.
To be sure, many people involved in
“Hamilton” are doing quite well. The show
has made almost $67m in revenue since
it began in July, according to Broadway-
World.com. It nets $500,000 in profit
each week, according to the Times. Last
month, the producers agreed to share
some of the show’s profits with the orig-
inal cast members. Yet brokers are si-
phoning off some proceeds by taking ad-
vantage of the high demand and tight
supply for tickets in the 1,300-seat Rich-
ard Rodgers Theatre, said Ronald Shech-
tman, a lawyer who represented “Ham-
ilton” performers in the profit-sharing
deal. “Now that the actors have a stake in
the profits, they are affected by this part
of the market,” Shechtman said. “That’s
money that’s not going to investors or
the artists.”
Meanwhile, stage hands and musi-
cians who don’t share in the gains typical-
ly get a minimum gross salary of $1,907 a
week, said Weiss, the Broadway manag-
er and author. “The poor manager of the
show who is working 12 to 14 hours a day
because there’s so much business going
on makes a flat salary,” Weiss said. “They
don’t get any more.”
Some producers are trying to recov-
er lost profits by adjusting ticket prices or
capturing a slice of the secondary market.
Broadway theaters are experimenting
with variable ticket prices based on de-
mand, similar to how the airline industry
operates. And in 2014, StubHub, owned
by EBay Inc., struck a deal with the pro-
ducers of “Book of Mormon” and the tick-
et service Telecharge to sell premium
seats at face value on StubHub.
“As a marketplace, StubHub does not
have the ability to regulate where and
how sellers obtain the tickets they sell,”
company spokeswoman Jessica Erskine
said in an e-mail. “Importantly, a large
number of tickets offered by a seller does
not indicate in any way where or how
tickets were obtained.”
For Hamilton’s producers, raising pric-
es for premium seats may not solve the
problem. If the face value goes up, “the
brokers will just raise their prices even
higher,” Weiss said. The brokers know
that there will always be wealthy theat-
er fans willing to pay any price to say they
saw a popular show, he said.
It’s become such a problem that the show’s producers are considering almost doubling premium-priced “Hamilton” tickets to $995 to keep more of the profit for themselves.

‘Baahubali’ team heads to Cannes
IANS
Baahubali: The Beginning” di-
rector SS Rajamouli and pro-
ducer Shobu Yarlagadda will
be leading a panel discussion
at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival.
The southern magnum opus will al-
so be screened at the prestigious film
fest.
Rajamouli, who got the Best Fea-
ture Film award at the recently held
63rd National Film Awards, will lead a
discussion on virtual reality (VR) at the
Marché du Film, a film market event
taking place alongside the festival.
The film festival will take place from
May 11 to May 22. And the film’s team
will be part of the gala on May 16.
The director of the film, produc-
er along with Raja Koduri, senior
vice president of Radeon Technolo-
gy Group (RTG), AMD, will lead a panel
discussion titled Increasing the Inten-
sity and Scale of Epic Film Experiences
through VR at the NEXT Pavilion, read
a statement.
AMD group has driven innovation in
high-performance computing, graph-
ics, and visualisation technologies for
more than 45 years by building blocks
for gaming and immersive platforms.
Radeon Technologies Group is now an
autonomous graphics division, part of
the AMD group. The panel will be mod-
erated by Patrick Frater, Asia Bureau
Chief, Variety. The panel will discuss
new opportunities that a storyteller
has today through VR, to create expe-
riences with unprecedented scale and
immersiveness, the need for new tech-
nology and powerful graphics proces-
sors (GPU’s) to build these experienc-
es, challenges in VR production, and
new ways to distribute these experi-
ences to reach a mass audience.
The interactive panel will be
streamed live via the official Face-
book page of “Baahubali: The Begin-
ning” and AMD. After the discussion,
the film will be screened at Palais K at
the Marché Du Film venue in Cannes.
“Baahubali: The Beginning”, which
was a box office wonder, has been
lauded for being an imaginative film,
monumental by its production val-
ues and cinematic brilliance in creat-
ing a fantasy world on the screen. It
stars Prabhas and Rana Daggubati in
the lead. Post its success, the second
part of the film is already in the works.
“Baahubali: The Conclusion” is the
second part in the franchise and it is
tipped to be made on a higher budget
than its predecessor.
RTG is currently working in associ-
ation with Arka Mediaworks, the mak-
ers of the first film to create a first of
its kind, path breaking VR experience
based on the movie.
Vikas Bahl to make biopic on Super 30 founderIANS
Queen” fame director Vi-
kas Bahl announced he was
making a biopic on Bihar’s in-
novative educational coaching in-
stitute Super 30, and its founder
Anand Kumar. “His life has many in-
teresting dimensions and weaving
them into a story for a film would
be really fascinating. The actor will
have to study Anand Kumar and
mould himself in his style. The film
will be extensively shot in Bihar to
create the flavour,” Bahl told media
here.
The filmmaker said Kumar
signed the contract for the film with
producer Vinay Sinha and Preeti
Sinha of Reel Life Entertainment.
“It is true that talks were on for
a biopic on my life for the last few
years and some directors and pro-
ducers talked to me in this regard,
but eventually Preeti Sinha was
destined to make it,” Kumar said.
Bahl said that he would like Ku-
mar to play some part in the film.
“But he says he is good at teaching
and would love to confine himself to
that. He says that a suitable actor
should do the job,” he said.
Kumar said the income from the
film would be used for expansion of
Super 30.
For the last 14 years, Kumar has
been grooming talented students
from underprivileged families for
the highly competitive Indian Insti-
tute of Technology-Joint Entrance
Examination (IIT-JEE).
‘Kahaani 2’ to release in NovPost the gripping act in “Kahaani”, actress Vidya Balan will
be back on the silver screen with the second part of the
film — “Kahaani 2”. The sequel will release on November
25. The actress, who floored one and all with her act as a preg-
nant woman on a mission to find her husband in the movie, al-
so asked her fans and followers on Twitter to brace for “another
mother of a story”.
Vidya took to Twitter to share the news via a 20-second vid-
eo. “Kahaani 2” is co-written and directed by Sujoy Ghosh.
The sequel, which went on the floors in March, also stars
Arjun Rampal. “Kahaani” revolved around a pregnant wom-
an named Vidya Bagchi, who came to Kolkata from London in
search of a man. The 2012 film also featured Parambrata Chat-
terjee, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Indraneil Sengupta, Dhritiman
Chatterjee and Saswata Chatterjee among others.

SCIENCE
Get cozy with your skin bacteria — they’re not going anywhere
By Rachel Feltman The Washington Post
When Josiah Zayner’s
health problems be-
came too much to bear,
he decided to make a
radical lifestyle change — and tried to
get rid of every microbe living in his
gut or on his skin. A recent profile in
the Verge follows Zayner’s grueling
process, which involved a regimen
of antibiotics and disinfectants fol-
lowed by an inoculation with a healthy
friend’s native bacteria. He swal-
lowed pills containing his friend’s fec-
es and bathed himself in liquid full of
the healthy man’s skin microbes. The
poop pills seem to have worked; the
bacterial bath failed. After the ill-ad-
vised experiment, the microbes on
Zayner’s skin were largely unchanged.
One new study may help explain why.
There are plenty of reasons to want
to change the bacteria that live on and
in a human body. Scientists have linked
a large number of these human-lov-
ing microbes to particular measures of
health or illness. A certain species of
bacteria might make one person’s gut
ever-slightly-so more prone to obesity.
Another might give someone healthy,
regular bowel movements. Yet an-
other might have made an individual
more prone to asthma as a child.
It would be easy to think that the
surface of skin, which comes in con-
tact with countless foreign surfaces
teeming with their own bacteria eve-
ry day, would change with regularity.
But previous research has shown that
humans tend to change the bacterial
makeup of the environments they en-
counter — people leave microbial “fin-
gerprints” everywhere, and even colo-
nise hotel rooms with preferential spe-
cies within a few hours. According to a
study published Thursday in the jour-
nal Cell, the microbes on skin are sur-
prisingly resilient over time.
Senior study authors Heidi Kong of
the National Cancer Institute and Ju-
lie Segre of the National Human Ge-
nome Research Institute found that
microbes showed a strong preference
for particular skin types, like moist ar-
eas around the genitals, oily regions
like the outer ear canal or dry areas
like the palm of the hand. That wasn’t
a surprise — previous studies have
shown that skin microbes tend to like
certain terrain.
The new study is small, showcas-
ing just 12 individuals sampled at dif-
ferent intervals over the course of a
couple years. But Kong and Segre say
they found compelling evidence that
microbes linger on the skin for a long
time, with some species and sites
showing even more resilience than
others. “The stability of a healthy in-
dividual’s skin microbial communities
extending beyond 1-2 years was sur-
prising,” Segre said. “Despite routine
skin hygiene and environmental expo-
sures during these time periods, the
composition of the skin microbial com-
munities of an individual was relatively
consistent. Some sites like the oily are-
as (back) were more similar over time,
whereas some sites like the feet were
more varied over time.”
The variability of feet may be due
to our clothing habits. Most humans
wear a rotation of different socks and
shoes, and sometimes go barefoot,
which means feet spend significant
time stewing in different sorts of en-
vironments. A few hours in socks, an
hour sweating at the gym in different
shoes, and a trip to the shower fol-
lowed by a few hours padding bare-
foot through carpet might provide
more chances for bacterial colonisa-
tion than a few firm handshakes and
quick swipes across foreign surfaces
would in hands.
“Knowing that there is relative sta-
bility in healthy skin will be important
in comparing the skin microbial com-
munities in patients as well as poten-
tial future studies that explore wheth-
er we can alter our skin microbes,”
Kong added.
The skin, she explained, is the
body’s first line of defense against
infection. Kong, Segre and their col-
leagues want to study how particu-
lar microbes might make people sick
or healthy, but they’re also interest-
ed in how the overall makeup of a mi-
crobial community can increase or de-
crease the skin’s ability to protect peo-
ple from foreign invaders.
Certain individuals in the study were
more or less prone to variability — even
at sites such as the feet - than others,
suggesting that behaviour or even ge-
netics could affect how tenacious our
bacterial communities are. Under-
standing how variation helps or hurts
an individual could be important. Is a
person more likely to pick up a danger-
ous infection if their microbes are stal-
wart and steadfast, or does a tendency
toward quick variability make the per-
son more likely to battle those danger-
ous bacteria quickly? Further study is
needed to find the answer.
It’s possible that one day scien-
tists will decide what makes a “good”
skin microbiome and what makes a
“bad” one. If that day ever comes, hu-
mans we could theoretically try to rec-
olonise themselves with a better mix
of bacteria and fungi. But Kong and
Segre strongly advise against any DIY
attempts like Zayner’s.
“The microbial communities provide
tremendous health benefit (resisting
colonisation with pathogens, tuning
the immune system), so we need to
recognise that most endogenous mi-
crobes on our skin, in our guts, in our
mouths are healthy,” Segre said.
Research suggests that bacterial
skin communities are pretty individual-
ised. While some individuals may have
a luckier lot than others, that doesn’t
mean swapping one microbiome out
for another will have the desired ef-
fect. And trying to become sterile
enough to make it happen would be
nearly impossible at best and incred-
ibly dangerous at worst.
“We should start to think of our-
selves as super-organisms,” Segre add-
ed. “Humans are ecosystems who are
a combination of both trillions of hu-
man cells and trillions of microbes. Our
health is determined by the interplay
of all of the cells of our body.” In oth-
er words, people should try to love the
skin they are in — and the microbes
that live on it — because they are pretty
much stuck with most of them.
Humans tend to change the bacterial makeup of the environments they encounter — people leave microbial ‘fingerprints’ everywhere, and even colonise hotel rooms with preferential species within a few hours.
