BE SAFE

She encouraged her fans to not lose hope and take care of their physical and mental health. Yes Reese, we agree, mask is still in vogue!
CELEBRATIONS GALORE
Dressed in a traditional conical hat and red shawl, Union Minister Smriti Irani took to Instagram to share a delightful wish for Bihu, Pongal, Uttarayan and Makar Sankranti. She expressed her gratitude for a bountiful harvest, and prayed for good health and prosperity for all. She wrote, “Utsav Patang ka, Til Gud ka, Khichadi ka... dil se manao... khoob tarakki pao.”
BE POSITIVE
Cricketer Hardik Pandya took to Instagram to share a pensive picture of himself. Lost in deep thought, he wrote, “Your mind is a powerful thing. When you fill it with positive thoughts, your life will begin to change!” We agree Hardik, a positive mindset can turn our lives around.
HAPPY FRIENDS, HAPPY LIFE
