Most people believe that dark circles under the eyes are due to fatigue, lack of sleep or long hours of watching the computer/TV.The truth, however, is that the dark circles may be a sign of a serious health problem. Some experts associate them with diseases such as anemia, dehydration, or liver problems.They can also appear when some red blood cells go out of the capillaries. This triggers the production of enzymes that destroy red blood cells.It is the process of destruction that causes the blue-black color under the eyes. For this reason, people with thinner and more sensitive skin are most prone to dark circles.However, the most common causes of dark circles under the eyes are:AgingThe skin under the eyes is very thin and delicate. As the years go by, it gets even thinner, making the blood vessels more visible in this area.GeneticsUnfortunately, hereditary predisposition and genetics can also play a major role in this condition.Food deficiencyDark circles under the eyes may also be due to improper nutrition.The solution is to start eating a healthy and nutritious diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and beneficial substances.Lack of sleep and constant fatigueThe lack of sleep or exhaustion can make the skin pale, thus creating a greater difference between the color of the body skin and its color under the eyes.Cigarettes and alcoholThey both can show up on your face leaving dark circles under your eyes, which, usually, don’t look very attractive.This is why everybody recommends making sure you don’t exaggerate with alcohol/cigarettes, so drink/smoke in moderation.Also, these habits usually are ususually related to standing up late at night or sometimes early in the morning, which is also badly reflected on the skin, outlining even more dark circles.Sun exposureIncreased sun exposure can result in pigmentation of the skin's surface and dark circles under the eyes. Prolonged exposure to sunlight produces more melanin around the eyes than usual.Excessive melanin in the epidermis makes the skin brown and the excess melanin in the dermis makes it look blue-grayish.This is why sun protection is so crucial.Hormonal changesIn women, the skin undergoes dramatic changes in the different phases of life.Women are more prone to developing dark circles under the eyes during pregnancy or during menstruation.AllergiesIf you experience itching in the eye area, rubbing and rubbing the skin there may cause dark circles. Another reason can be food allergies.In fact, when children have dark circle under the eyes, it is an almost certain sign of a food allergy.AnemiaLow levels of iron are the most common form of anemia, and iron deficiency is one of the most common causes of dark circles under the eyes. Also, anemia can make your skin look pale and ashy.As a result, any dark circles under your eyes (even those caused by another health condition) can look even darker.DehydrationТhe truth is that insufficient water-intake is also one of the most common causes of dark circles under the eyes. Water helps flush out the toxins from your system and thereby reducing the amount of salt concentration in and around the eye area.Also, hydration does not mean replacing the water intake with soda, fruit juices etc.Just..stick to water. Also, try to avoid the consumption of coffee and caffeinated beverages.The list below will show you the most effective remedies to restore and preserve the fresh and youthful look of the skin around the eyes and remove the under-eye circles1.Rich food and balanced nutritionIncrease your consumption of fresh fruit, yogurt and other dairy products, sprouts, cereals, and foods high in vegetable protein (lentils, beans, peas, quinoa, brown rice, beets, oatmeal).2.Regular Physical and Breathing ExercisesPracticing one or more sports disciplines can only have a beneficial effect on the life processes of the whole organism.Yoga and breathing exercises, at the very least, promote the blood circulation, regulate blood pressure, reduce the stress and tension from the body and spirit.As you already know, good health also reflects on the appearance and condition of the skin.3. Healthy sleepAlthough each organism is strictly individual, an average of 7 hours is the minimum of sleep time that a person needs in order to feel fully rested, fresh and energized throughout the day.Stick to a sleep schedule of the same bedtime and wake up time, even on the weekends. This helps to regulate your body's clock and could help you fall asleep and stay asleep for the night.ble sleeping, avoid naps, especially in the afternoon.Power napping may help you get through the day,but if you find that you can't fall asleep at bedtime, eliminating even short catnaps may help.4. Choosing Eye CreamAlways choose a cream specially formulated for the area around your eyes. Do not apply eye cream before sleeping. It is highly recommended that the cream contains almond oil.It nourishes the skin and helps fight dark spots.Under no circumstances apply facial masks to the area around your eyes, as it is way more sensitive than the other facial skin and it is quite possible to get irritated.5. Proper application of the creamMassaging the area around the eyes when applying the eye cream can only damage the skin.Instead, it is recommended to tenderly and delicately touch the problem areas with slight tapping movements using only the finger tips.6. Regular eye flushingRelease fatigue from your eyes by regular flushing, starting with warm water first, and ending the procedure with cold water. You can also use rose water as it is beneficial for the skin.It has the ability to relieve tension in the eyes area while it also has antibacterial properties.7. The irreplaceable role of cucumbers and potatoesChill 1 cucumber/potato into the refrigerator. Cut 2 thick slices off the chilled cucumber/potato. Place the slices over eyes, making sure to cover dark circles.Leave on for 20 minutes or, if possible, overnight. Remove the cucumber/potato slices, rinse with cool water, and pat dry.Repeat the procedure 3 times a week.8. Compresses of ice water and cold yogurtAppied directly on the closed lids for 10 minutes, the ice water or cold yogurt compresses are amazingly beneficial for reducing the puffiness and dark circles around the eyes.9. Chilled tea bagsTea bags refresh the area under the eyes while relieving their puffiness. Mint- flavored tea is especially beneficial.10. Almond oilAlmond oil is a great mean for eliminating dark circles. Almond oil, as well as the paste of chopped almonds, mixed with a little almond of milk, before sleep, has a very strong healing, smoothing and lightening effect.The mask is washed with cold water in the morning.Prolonged treatment of the area around the eyes (with almond oil) smooths the wrinkles, hydrates, and softness the delicate skin.Hope you found my answer relevant and useful!

I am a big fan of the movie “The Social Network” and since then I always had a dream of coding 24 hours straight.I attempted to do so plenty of times but never really had success.Although there was nothing meaningful in spending 24 hours doing something and sleeping the entire day after, still I was curious about actually attempting to work 24 hours straight.When I started off as a freelancer, I had a project which I was supposed to deliver on time.I knew that if I completed the project on the date promised, the client would probably be satisfied with my performance and would consider me for next potential projects as well.Everything was going well, I was on track with the project but eventually I was not able to cope up and hence work piled up and I only had a day to meet the deadline.It was 9pm and I realised that there are a lot of tasks still left to complete, I estimated that it would take another 10 hours to complete the project.My client was from the US and he was 10 hours behind as per the time zone.I thought I should get the project done by tomorrow if I work for 2 hours today till 11pm and then if I wake up at 7 and work till 6pm in the evening.Here is how the 24 hour coding session went:Woke up at 7 AM in the morning went to the toilet, brushed my teeth, and started working right away, skipped breakfast and worked till 11:30 AM.Total Hours worked: 4 Hours.Got up, had lunch, was back to work at 12 Noon, skipped taking bath.Worked till 4:15 in the afternoon and was feeling dizzy, decided to take a break, had a shower. Analysed the number of “tasks” remaining. I had broken down my work into tasks so as to assess the status of the project and the time it would take to complete.Total Hours worked: 8 HoursI was supposed to call the client at 9:30 AM as per his time which is around 8PM Indian time.After looking at the task list It felt almost impossible to get the project done till 8 PM. According to my new estimate, it would take another day for me to get it done.Im sure the client would have been ok with extending his deadline by a day. However I was afraid that it would create a bad impression of me in front of the client if I was to extended the deadline by a day.I realised that it was my mistake that I was unable to accurately determine the deadline and work the schedule accordingly.I decided to do as much I could till 8PM and see what happens next.However, I was completely exhausted as I was working with utmost focus for 8 hours with just a single half hour lunch break.I took a quick shower and felt better. I was back to work by 5pm after taking a 45 minutes long break.Continued working waiting for my client to call and at 8:15 Pm he did call me up on Skype.Total Hours worked: 12 HoursI was a bit nervous, I had no idea what to say. There were still a plenty of things which needed to be completed.However I picked up the call, I told updated him about the status of the project and enlisted all the things which were done.I told him that I would complete the entire project by the end of the day.It was still 9:30–10ish over there meaning their day had just started.I assured him that it would be done before the day gets over and he was ok with that.He disconnected the call and as soon as he did that, I thought that it was so stupid of me to make that commitment.I was completely drained, had no focus or energy and my head had started to ache.I had dinner immediately after the call and took a dose of painkillers which the doctor had prescribed for my mother.I felt a bit better after having some food and the painkillers did had some effect in easing out the pain.I know I shouldn't have practiced self-medication but this was no time to get to the doctor.It was 9Pm and I really had no drive to make myself work whatsoever.Working for 12 hours taking regular breaks and being relaxed is one thing but working for 12 hours with no or little breaks and with constant stress is really exhausting.If you have enough experience working as a freelancer then Im sure you realise how it feels to work under a deadline.Still I dragged my ass to the chair, my eyes were sore and red but still I continued to work till 11pm.Yes, I am now writing this answer on a 27inch retina display but back then I worked on a really crappy laptop which had a tiny 15 inch screen and the display wasn’t even 1080p, neither did I had an external monitor back then.At 11 pm, my mother asked me to go to bed, she told me that I would go insane if I spent another minute in front of my laptop.I told her that I would go to bed soon and requested her to make coffee for me.After getting that caffeine kick, I got back to work, I did manage to work till 3 am in the morning.Total Hours worked: 18 HoursIt was all dark outside and I still had plenty of things to complete off my task list.Yes I previously had an experience of working till 2Am but 3 Am was a bit crazy.It was pitch black outside the window and completely silent.I know that a lot of students pull an all nighter preparing for exams but this was completely different.Remember, I was working since 7Am in the morning, and had already put in 18 Hours.At 3am I took a shot break as I was feeling extremely sleepy. I closed the lid of my laptop, washed my face and relaxed for a while sitting in my chair itself as I knew that if I laid on the bed I would doze off.I thought this is it, there are only a few things which need to be done and I can peacefully go to sleep thereafter. I made myself recall my purpose about why exactly I was doing this, why is this so important and so on.Something magical happened after that, I experienced an endless source of energy from the inside and felt fresher than ever. I started working again and blazed though the remaining tasks.While I was working, I could see the darkness going away through my window and the sky becoming brighter as the sun was about to rise. It was absolutely beautiful.Worked till 6am in the morning.Total work done: 21 Hours.Work was almost done but now I was feeling extremely hungry, I rushed to the kitchen to find some biscuits and the sound of opening the cup board woke my mother up.She made me a tea, I had it and was again back to work.However at this moment I felt alive kicking and afresh, maybe this was all because of working distraction free all night.I immediately completed the pending work, it took me about an hour. I was done by about 7:30 am in the morning.I immediately messaged my client to update him about the status. I didn't wait for his reply.I immediately went to bed after shutting down my laptop, it only took me a few seconds to dose off.My mother woke me up in the noon for lunch and I felt extremely good after taking a 4 hour nap.I did nothing that particular day apart from answering my clients call in the night.He told me that he would take a look and would suggest changes if any the next day.However he didn’t mention any changes as he was impressed with my work and the timely delivery. He also paid me some additional money as a tip apart from the project fee.Here is what I learned that very day:I realised that we as humans have a lot of potential which we never use. I am not writing this answer to brag or to say that I am special, on the contrary I am saying that each one of us have a lot more potential than we think we do.I learned that you cannot work hard enough without some cause or a drive. You cannot say “I would work for 24 hours tomorrow” unless you have a very strong drive or a purpose to back it up. Back in the day I had certain things which were my drive which propelled me to do this.Hard work is not always pleasant , no matter how much you love to do something or how much you are passionate about something you will hate doing it after crossing a certain limit.Drive has to be internal, you cannot step out of the comfort zone by getting motivated when others tell you a motivational story. Like you might get that feel good thing after reading this but this cannot drive you or motivate you to work hard. Your drive comes from your inner self.Hard work pays off, it really does. I could have extended the project deadline and there was a risk of loosing the client. However the same client hired me multiple other times for his projects because he knew that I would deliver on time.Always give your best no matter what. This project I worked on so hard paid me some money which was quite a lot for me back then. Today when I think of it, it was like nothing for that much work. However, this very hard work lays out the foundation of your future success.Always remember that every dream of yours requires to step out of that comfort zone. You might have to step out of it some day either way so why not do it today? It would save you a lot of time and energy.

Jojo Rabbit is perhaps one of last year’s sweetest movies, based off of a novel titled Caging Skies. It captured audiences with its undeniable charm and sweet message, and was nominated for 6 Academy Awards.Jojo Rabbit was a certified success.Our 9 year old protagonist, JoJo, is a Nazi fanatic and influenced by everyone around him.But then he discovers that his mother, who is secretly opposing Germany, is hiding a Jewish teenager upstairs. Young Jojo begins talking to the girl, first with hostility before warming up to her. This curiosity blossoms into a boyish crush.As they talk, Jojo begins to realise that Jews aren’t the monsters that the Nazis portray them to be and that he has been instead influenced by all the Nazi propaganda. His beliefs are shattered and he accepts Elsa.And so, when the war ends and Germany loses, Jojo kicks his imaginary friend Hitler out of the window. Initially, he lies to Elsa about the outcome of the war before releasing Elsa from the attic. As celebrations explode around them and they both realise that peace has come — they dance.But except, Caging Skies didn’t end there — this was only half way.And JoJo is no adorable kid, he’s Johannes, a full grown adult. Unlike Jojo however, Johannnes never learns to let go of his nationalistic hate towards Elsa, and fully embodies Hitler’s ideologies.The story is not funny nor happy, because Caging Skies pushes this story into complete depths of darkness.When the war is lost, and Jojo tells Elsa they won the war before eventually letting her leave, this is only half way through Caging Skies, Johannes keeps this lie for 4 years, out of lust and crippling loneliness. Elsa is essentially held hostage and manipulated by a stronger male.Elsa is no boyish crush and his lust eventually breeds into obsession and Elsa is barely alive, starving and hanging on a thread while Johannes begins to go insane.They become so bitterly resentful of each other over time that Johannes can not longer keep up the lie and reveals to Elsa that Germany lost 4 years ago. When Elsa escapes, Johannes is left all alone in his apartment with nobody left for him.Waititi's narrative reaches for the light, while Leunens's prefers the dark.No approach to the story is any better here, both explore the dangers of blind fanaticism in 2 extremes.Certainly, audiences would have been left a bit less hopeful had the movie followed the manipulative and depressing events of the book — all notes of a happy ending completely abandoned.
