Blue Lakes are beautiful, but what about the Pink ones?

Hey everyone! What comes to your mind when you think of the color blue? To me, blue is all about the beautiful and huge oceans, seas and lakes. It gives a sense of calmness and closeness to nature, which we all crave to get in our busy everyday life. We all have heard, seen and even visited these blue waters but have you heard about the pink lakes? Yes, you read that right! There are several pink lakes around the world that look almost too magical and milkshake-y to believe your eyes. Here are some of them, you might want to add some in your travel bucket list.

Pink Lakes of Las Coloradas, Mexico

The pink color of the lake is half natural and a half due to human practices. During the times of Mayan civilization, man made lagoons were flooded with salty water from the nearby lagoons. When this water evaporated in sun, naturally all that was left behind was salt. Red algae and Plankton got concentrated because of the water’s saltiness and shallow depth (about only a foot), which gave the water its pink color. Also, the concentration of microorganisms is pretty high (man made reason) which makes the flamingoes of this region more pink than the ones found elsewhere. The incredibly salty water can sting a bit especially if you have cuts.

The pink colour is due to the presence of the organism Dunaliella salina, in addition, the salinity.

The Psychology of self motivation

What is it like feeling empowered? If you want to know if you feel empowered, ask yourself three questions: Can you do it? Will it work? Is it worth it? If your answer is yes for all them, you feel empowered. This is based on research. One feels self-motivated, competent when they receive recognition for their hard work. We are controlled by our consequences, we think so much before doing what scares us that the fear starts to drive us. Believe that you have a choice of not doing it, it will make you feel relaxed and self-motivated. There is nothing that you can't do if you have made up your mind on it. You are the universe's most evolved and advanced species, there is no one smarter, more intelligent or ahead of you. There might be some difficulties in your way, but let me tell you, these difficulties make it worth so much. Because nothing having worthwhile, comes easy. Obstacles mean you're going the right way, you just have to keep on going in that direction,

Study reveals the robotic job postings increased by 200% in India

The rising interest among job seekers for jobs in robotics as seen in the past year by far outstrips the growth witnessed by the sector in the previous years, the study said. "Sectors like construction, manufacturing, and healthcare are boosting the demand for robotics talent, and there is enormous scope for the application of the technology across an even wider array of industries," Kumar added. Robots are making a major breakthrough and a fast pace in the field of surgery and construction as robots provide a higher rate of accuracy. Though the positions in robotics are on a high, a decline in hiring has been seen in the past year. India's surgical robotics market is estimated to grow at a rate of 20 percent between 2017 and 2025 according to a marketing intelligence report by BIS Research. With a market for close to 1,000 robots annually, the sector offers huge potential for experimentation, Indeed said in a statement.
