A Magical compound for winters: Glycerin

When I was kid my mom used to apply glycerin on my face, hands and feet but I hated it. There were multiple reasons behind this hesitation 😁 firstly I didn’t like its greasy texture on my face and secondly at that time I used to think that the products available in the markets are more effective, fragrant and easy to use. You know a dreamworld of a kid, all the glittery things in market are gold.🙄

 After a lot of purchases and applications of various costly creams and serums, finally I reverted to my Mom’s recipe and now I think that why I had been forgotten it for a long time. Glycerine is a very effective and plant-produced natural compound that acts as a humectant. Nowadays it is also derived from synthetic sources. Humectants are those compounds that attract water from the air due to its chemistry and when it is applied on skin it attracts the moisture and protects the skin from dehydration by locking the water molecules inside the epidermal layer of skin. It is one of the best thing for harsh winters to avoid scaly skin.

 The best way of applying glycerin on the face is to dilute it with rose water and apply on face before bed. You can also add few drops of lemon if it suits your skin. You can also buy glycerine available in the market that are specifically developed for skin applications. Here are few links where you can buy different concentrations of the preparation.          

 #every skin is different, so results may vary.

Nursery and Kindergarten Admissions in Delhi/NCR Schools: What’s the age?

It is the most intricate issue of the current time in India. What should be the exact age of kids at the time of nursery admissions ? Lot of different perspectives and ideas are there, but in my opinion, the ideal age for kindergarten should be 5-6 years. I think we first let them enjoy their childhood, let them develop in all directions. Give them some more years or going play group is sufficient. But the opinions vary here, and everyone has her view on this matter. Some parents don’t want to send them at an early age, but they have no choice. These days mostly schools are taking 3+ kids for nursery and 4+ kids for KG . There are also some schools that prefer to take 4+ kids for nursery or they start from KG classes. The education system is growing more complicated as they don’t focus on the abilities of child and parents. Strict criteria and some guidelines are put, and that’s all. The most painful thing is the distances between schools and homes, how our little buds ca...

Generation of Random amino acid protein sequences using Python/Bio-python

This program is about how to generate protein sequences (random sequences of 100amino acid) and these sequences should be stored in a database type file. The sequence analysis gave the bioscience researches a new direction. This project works for generating new sequences of proteins. These sequences might already exist in nature and having similarity with any organism. Through this software new random sequences may be generated and saved to a file on user’s machine. Saving to file helps to compare different sequences as well as the complete information may be placed at the same place. The Protein generation part is a simple program which takes in user input for number of random Protein Sequences to generate and filename/file-path. Based on these user inputs random Protein sequences are generate of 100 amino acid residues of type IUPACProtein. The sequences thus generated are saved to a file in the current directory by the name username.fasta in Fasta format. This program is in Python L...
