We have always in some way encountered a beautiful experience, a beautiful object, a beautiful space or simply the idea of beauty.
This has over sedimented years, been instilled as some formula, though also debated by many as being subjective, or as 'beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder'. This formula of beauty has been debated over thousands of years, by philosophers, poets, author’s even mathematicians!
Why is beauty important to mankind? Is it art? Is all art beautiful? What is the purpose of art? Is beauty timeless? What is time for us? History? Tradition? What values do these concepts have for us today?
In today's time, where the world has almost taken a new turn, and to earn another millennium on the planet, everything will need to change; be redefined.
We will need to rethink our processes, notions of growth and time.
We will need to shift our gaze from bling to blurs, from always being certain about the destination and an end, to simply allowing a flow but at times tread lightly on our earth.

No matter how old we get, our mental abilities (and even IQ!) are never "set in stone." Because the brain is always adapting and building, our ability to think, remember and learn is never static—it can always be upgraded and improved!
This means we don’t have to “settle” for the mental skills we currently have. While it’s true that certain brain changes are inevitable when it comes to aging, major memory problems are not one of them.
Ms. Shilpa Karia is a registered Clinical Psychologist and a certified Cognitive Skills Trainer with 22 years of rich experience in the field of counselling and psychology. She also works as a consultant for various organizations and schools.
The vast possibilities that the brain offers propelled Ms. Karia to establish B FiT [Brain Fitness for All] - a one-of-a-kind brain-training organization in India, devoted to creating awareness and advocacy regarding the importance of brain fitness. At BFiT, Ms. Karia helps learners of all kinds and ages achieve personal, academic, occupational and social enrichment using scientific evidence-based programs.
Join us for some fun brain-training exercises that can help you ‘TRAIN YOUR BRAIN, TO UNLOCK YOUR POTENTIAL’.

Wellness depends on multiple factors of which an healthy diet or lifestyle can play a significant role.
What we eat, and how we eat, can throw off digestive health. Like all complicated machinery, the digestive tract doesn't always run smoothly. In some people, the problem is genetic. The immune system mistakenly attacks the digestive system, causing various digestive woes.

On the occasion of International Women's Day, we take this opportunity to E-launch our project Aamchi Mumbai, Safe Mumbai - a project to make the city safer for women and children, in partnership with UN Women. The occasion will be graced by:
Our Indian women have more than proved that they can be at par, if not better in some cases, with men, be it in the Government, Corporate sector, Science field and the Arts not only in India but Internationally too.
However, there are more women who have unfulfilled dreams and as a society we owe it to make a better world for them. A woman can reach great heights when she is fearless and not afraid for her and her child’s safety. Women and child physical and mental safety is the basic need for any kind of progress.
Keeping in mind that the responsibility to achieve a safe city has to be shared by citizens, government, police and the society at large, let's all come together to launch a movement to make our maximum city, maximum safe.

Who amongst us has been unclear or not known what to do when a loved one passes away? What if your loved one wanted to donate their organs or kept important bank, property or insurance documents somewhere and you were completely clueless ? Even before Covid- 19 plagued the world, no one was immortal. Hence when death is inevitable, why make it harder on your loved ones ? There is no reason why grieving loved ones should run pillar to post. Hence it is best to be prepared, as much as one possibly can, in uncertain times. This legal committee event is not for women or men alone but should be attended by one and all since it affects everyone !
BE PREPARED IN UNCERTAIN TIMES…Your legacy handbook aims to offer a simplified yet complete transparent system to organize everyone's life. Being the basis for a wealth guide – the event will help EVERYONE organize not only valuable papers, important information, records of possessions but also determine what is important to an individual or a family.
It is a great tool and extremely valuable to understand it from a legal perspective and what is admissible in Court as organizing personal, financial and business information can be intimidating. In emergencies and uncertain times, being prepared can help in the simplest ways and be helpful to a caregiver or someone managing the affairs of an individual since it collects all the important information in one place.
The guest speakers for the session will be - Hon’ble. Mr. Justice G. S. Sistani (Retd.) and Ms. Salonee Sanghvi.
Justice G. S. Sistani retired from the Delhi High Court earlier this year.

The Apex Court of India passed a widely reported landmark Judgement on 11th August 2020 stating that daughters, like sons, have equal birthright to inherit joint Hindu Family property. The Hon'ble Court further ruled that the amended Hindu Succession Act, which gives daughters equal rights to ancestral property, will have a retrospective effect which confers the status of 'Coparcener' to a daughter born before or after the amendment in the said act in the same manner as a son.
In this context and to enable public to seek more clarity on the Verdict; a joint Session of Questions & Answers (Q & A) is being organised by the IMC Law Committee in association with Ladies Wing of IMC.

Since travel plans are currently impacted virtual cruising will take you to the heart of every destination and fulfil your wanderlust.
Cruising has been viewed negatively & the safety of its guests questioned, yet few are aware of the highest standards of sanitisation maintained by cruise liners during normal times. Post COVID measures sit at a far higher level making cruising the most experiential & safest form of travel & tourism. Young travel professionals unequivocally stated that Cruise Tourism will be the first of the block once all travel restrictions are withdrawn.
Since founding and operating ‘Aqua Expeditions’ 13 years ago, it has been the vision and mission of Mr. Francesco Galli Zugaro to create intimate, small ship expeditions to distant parts of the world. What Aqua has stood for since inception, has now come to the forefront, “Access is the measure of luxury”.

IMC Ladies’ Wing invites you for an inspiring dialogue between social entrepreneur and influencer - Mr. Ankit Agarwal, Founder and CEO of Kanpur Flowercycling Pvt Ltd. and a well-known journalist and writer - Ms. Devna Gandhi.
Eight million metric tonnes of flowers are scattered in India’s temples and mosques every year. These flowers are a symbol of devotion and thus believed that these sacrosanct flowers should be discarded into water bodies like the River Ganges to respect their sanctity. Sadly, these sacred flowers rot and create havoc in the fragile ecosphere of the water body and leach into the groundwater.
Phool.co, a brand of Kanpur Flowercycling Pvt Ltd is a social enterprise that preserves the Ganges River by collecting the floral waste from holy places that is dumped in the river and flower cycling (up-cycling) it into patented fertilizer and incense sticks and in the process providing employment and livelihood to many underprivileged women.
Hear the story of real grit and courage of a young entrepreneur listed in Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2018, as he sets about cleaning the river Ganges of its gigantic amounts of temple waste that is steadily killing the ecosystem and further breaking barriers by employing marginalized women and giving them the dignity long denied to them.
Understand the importance and process of flower cycling as Mr. Agarwal will demonstrate how the innovative products are made using the flower waste.
Mr. Agarwal inspires by example to take action and create the larger-than-life impact you wish to see happen and change what seems inevitably insurmountable and beyond you!

Food does affect the mood. Hormonal changes are normal in an individual’s journey of life. More so in women, there is a distinct correlation between hormones and mood which at many levels is associated with food.
There are certain foods that scientifically act as potent anti-depressants and these foods are none other than the yummy cookies, pastries and chocolates.
But when we are trying to maintain the weight & achieve certain body composition goals, these high calorie carbohydrate rich foods are eliminated first.
