Packaging is nothing but, the material that covers the product, gives the information, attracts the consumers and protect the product during transportation. Packaging plays a major role in marketing of the product as it is directly linked to the visual acceptance of the product.

Types of packaging

1. Primary packaging

2. Secondary packaging

3. Tertiary packaging

Primary packaging is in direct contact with the product and contains the product information such as manufacturing date, nutritional values (food products), directions to use etc. The packaging that contains primary packaged products is called as secondary packaging. It is required to transport the product in batches without any damage to the primary package. Package that incorporates these secondary packages is called as tertiary packages. It contains of two types: 1. Homogeneous packaging 2. Heterogeneous packaging

Homogeneous packaging contains secondary packages of the same product whereas heterogeneous packaging contains secondary packaging of multiple products.

Current trends in the packaging

1. Modified Atmospheric Packaging

2. Controlled atmospheric packaging

Modified Atmospheric packaging is the technique which is used to increase the shelf life of the product by altering the gaseous composition inside the package. This can be done by either gas flush packaging where the air inside the package is pushed by the desired gaseous mixture or Vacuum packaging where the air is completely removed and then package is filled with desired gaseous mixture. The difference between the modified and controlled atmospheric packaging is, the process can be controlled once the packaging is done in Controlled atmospheric packaging whereas process cannot be controlled in Modified Atmospheric Packaging once the packaging is done.

The leading packaging company in India is Tetra pak. It is used for the storage of the liquid foods such as Juices, soft drinks etc. The packaging material is composed of polythene, cardboard and aluminum foil. Cardboard gives the base for the package and contains information about the product. Aluminum foil protects the product from sunlight and any changes in its chemical composition. Polythene protects the package from moisture or other environmental hurdles. Now-a-day’s tetra paks are available in different shapes to ensure the comfort ability to the consumers. The aim of the packaging is to reduce the storage space, attract the consumers, and provide information at reduced cost.

“The packaging is designed so that when people buy the second record, they can attach it to the first, making it a double record.”

Cosmology, the word that always circulate in my mind and makes me to stare at the night sky. Have you ever wonder what we are? How we are?  Where we are? If you find them interesting then probably you might be a cosmology lover.

When I was a kid, I and my father used to sit together and stare at the night sky. He answers whatever pointless questions I ask. As I have grown up memorizing those days, I asked him how come you have lot of patience to answer my stupid questions. He had taken a moment, smiled at me and answered, your questions are not insane, and I always believe that the best questions in this world are always asked by the children. I don’t even have the answers for some of your questions even though they seem to be simple. Probably my father is the indirect reason behind my interest in cosmology.

Colonizing mars, inside black hole, parallel universe, and extra-terrestrial life are the trending topics that are driving the world crazy. Colonizing mars is a difficult task as its atmosphere contains carbon dioxide around 95% and other major hurdle is water availability. No matter where we go in this universe probably nothing might replace our mother earth.

The Legends like Einstein and Stephen hawking have devoted their complete life in study of black holes. Most of the scientists claim that this is the key hole or passage to the other universe. If a human being falls into the black hole, he will either instantly incinerated or plunge into the black hole utterly unharmed.

Do you think that we are alone in this universe? Just imagine in this observable universe which contains local groups, Virgo super clusters and lanikea super clusters composed of lot more galaxies like milky way, we can surely find the extra-terrestrial life. But the dilemma is whether they cope up with mankind or they invade earth by destroying the life on earth.

Conclusion

There is lot more to explore in this universe as it hides dark secrets. To get the real essence of the life, sink yourself in the world of cosmos and perceive your life in the way which you have been never before.

“Man must rise above the Earth- to the top of the atmosphere and beyond-for only thus will he fully understand the world in which he lives.”

NECESSITY OF SELF-MOTIVATION

Does a human being is really in a need of Self-motivation??Just imagine Mr. X has started a new business. Even though he has good knowledge, as he lacks of management skills he ended up with losses. He vexed up with the current business and started a new business in different sector but the result is same. Mr. Y who is having the same issue with his current business, worked vigorously without giving up. He concentrated on the root cause of the problem and started working on it. Five years down the line, Mr. X has given up on the idea of business due to loses, where as Mr. Y is in the list of Top 100 leading businessmen. The reason behind is    Mr. Y trusted his ideology. Self-motivation and stability are the primary keys for his success.

Self-motivation is defined as the attribute that gives positive spirit in a human being. You are the one who is going to stay with yourself for the rest of your life. You are the one who is responsible for your success as well as failure. You are the only one who is responsible for your happiness as well as sadness. No matter how hard others try to motivate, it is of no use unless you accept it. Whenever you feel like whole world against you, just sit back and fuel yourself with self-motivation. I still remember the situation I have gone through in my school days. Despite of being in the Section A, I had given poor performance in my unit tests as I have engaged myself in the extra-curricular activities. As it was my first failure, I was depressed and situation had worsened. I started motivating myself as I knew my potential. The result had reflected in the end term examination. That was the day, I realized about the power of self-motivation.

When a problem comes to you, never think why me, instead think as try me. Situations might be worse and put you down, but they are the only things that make you stronger. It is upto you, how you are going to accept it, your decision will decide whether you will be ended up as a failure or a successful person. It is the self-motivation that distinguishes you from others in this competitive world. If you lack in self-motivation, you are no longer a participant in the race of life.

“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”
