Pack your curiosity and a bottle of holy water as we head deep into the jungles of Cambodia to explore the ancient, majestic, and hilariously mysterious temple of Angkor Wat! In this episode, host Nitten Nair guides you through its mythological roots, spiritual vibes, godly architecture, and the occasional tuk-tuk ride gone wrong.From tales of Vishnu reclining in cosmic confidence to divine construction crews led by Indra himself, we unravel the many layers of Angkor Wat's sacred stonework. Discover the best ways to get there, what to look out for (other than sunstroke), the ideal time to travel, and the temple's powerful place in cultural history. Also—spoiler alert—there are heavenly nymphs and cosmic tug-of-wars involved.Whether you're a mythology geek, a travel junkie, or just in it for the jokes and good vibes, this episode will leave you inspired, laughing, and spiritually sun-kissed.

Some of our student leaders, Reuben & Apsara, shared a message that was deep, personal, and full of powerful connections between Joseph and Jesus. Both stories have themes of betrayal, hardship, and faithful obedience to God.

Indian family businesses contribute more than two-thirds to India's GDP. 70 per cent. That's amongst the highest in the world. And that number is expected to go up to as much as 85 per cent in the next 20 years. Yet, today a lot of these companies are at a crossroads. You see, many of them have realised that they can't just carry on as they always have. Business as usual isn't going to work anymore. Think of brands like Medimix, or Baidyanath syrups. Iconic names for sure, but they are increasingly being bracketed as “parent's brands”.The next gen leaders of these companies have recognised this. They've realised that to have a shot at winning they are going to have to break off on their own. That too in a world that looks very different from when their family businesses were first founded. Tune in. Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

The Angkor Wat temple complex attracts millions of tourists each year. In 2018 for instance, the number of tourists topped six million, and many of them enjoyed elephant rides around the temples, according to Agence France-Presse (AFP). Against this backdrop, animal rights groups have expressed concerns at the risk of mistreating animals. 美聯社報導，三年前，一頭在吳哥窟工作的母象，因為不堪在酷暑中長時間工作而導致心臟衰竭，最終死亡。母象的死亡在社交媒體上引起輿論撻伐，民眾更在網站change.org聯署請願管理局停止大象騎乘服務。 The death of a female elephant in 2016 of heart failure after working in extremely hot weather triggered outrage on social media. A petition was launched on change.org to ask the Aspar Authority to cease elephant riding in archeological sites, according to Associated Press. 面對群眾壓力，吳哥窟園區也在今年做出回應，承諾讓14頭在吳哥窟服務的大象在2020年全數除役。 Three years after the elephant's death, Aspar Authority promised to stop the services and release all 14 elephants into their natural habitat by early 2020. 管理局發言人Long Kosal向法新社說道：「利用大象來營利是不適當的。」並強調許多大象都已經相當年邁。 The authority's spokesperson, Long Kosal, told the AFP that “using elephants for business is not appropriate anymore,” adding that the elephants are already old. Long Kosal指出，14頭在吳哥窟服務的大象中，已經有五頭被轉移到附近的保育森林，「他們會在那裡過著自然的生活」Long Kosal說道，並表示擁有這些大象的公司會持續照養牠們。 Long Kosal said five of the 14 elephants had been transported to nearby community forests. “They will live out their natural lives there,” Long Kosal told the AFP, adding that the company owning these elephants will keep looking after them. 柬埔寨媒體The Phnom Penh Post報導，Long Kosal表示，儘管園區內不會再有大象騎乘服務，遊客仍然可以到附近的保育區與大象近距離接觸並拍照。 Long Kosal added that the Aspar Authority aims to stop elephant riding in the park, but tourists can still visit their protected habitat to get a close look and take a photo with the elephants, according to The Phnom Penh Post.

They crossed back to Vietnam because they could not reach a deal. They fled the place." 「他們獲得承諾有薪水，但實際上沒有拿到…因為無法達成協議，就逃離這裡，渡河回去越南。」 He said Cambodian police had detained a casino manager and were investigating the incident. 他說，柬國警方已經拘押一名賭場經理，正在調查此事。 Next Article Topic: Cambodia to ban elephant rides at Angkor Wat 柬埔寨禁止在吳哥窟騎大象 Following pressure from animal activist groups, Apsara, the management authority for the Angkor Archaeological Park in Siem Reap, Cambodia announced in June 2019 it would ban elephant rides in early 2020. 在許多動物活動組織的施壓下，負責管理吳哥遺址的暹粒地區「阿帕薩拉」保護管理局2019年6月表示，他們將從2020年初起禁止大象騎乘。 Local outlet the Khmer Times reports that on November 15, two of the 14 elephants currently at the park, have been relocated to the nearby Bos Thom community forest. An Apsara press representative told the Khmer Times that the remaining dozen animals would be relocated to the same forest by "early next year." 本地媒體「高棉時報」11月15日報導，該園區的14隻大象中，有2隻被重新安置在附近的「Bos Thom」社區森林。1名「阿帕薩拉」的發言人告訴「高棉時報」，剩下的12隻會在明年初被安置到同座森林。 In 2016, an elephant named Sambo died at Angkor, drawing worldwide attention. Her death was blamed on a combination of heat stroke and exhaustion from ferrying so many human beings around. 2016年，1隻名為珊寶的大象死在吳哥窟，引起了全世界的矚目。牠的死因被歸咎於因為載運了太多人而導致的中暑與過度勞累。 Two years later, the World Wildlife Fund published an in-depth look at the dwindling populations of the Asian elephant, noting that the species' population had declined by 50% in just three generations. 兩年後，世界自然基金會發布關於亞洲大象數量減少的深入調查，發現該物種現今的數量比3代之前少了50%。Source article: https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1539968 ; https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/paper/1334758

Today on the show we have Apsara DiQuinzio, the Senior Curator of Contemporary Art at the Nevada Museum of Art, to discuss an amazing current exhibition about the artist Adaline Kent. Here’s the press release about this amazing exhibition: The Nevada Museum of Art will host the first retrospective exhibition of one of mid-century America’s most innovative and underrecognized artists to occur in nearly sixty years in Adaline Kent: The Click of Authenticity. The exhibition features approximately 120 works that span Kent’s entire career, and will be on display at the Museum from January 28, 2023 – September 10, 2023. The exhibition will occupy the entire second floor, charting major thematic developments in the artist’s work, which progressed from figuration to abstraction. Encompassing a diverse range of media, the exhibition includes drawings, original pictures incised on Hydrocal (a plaster mixture), sculptures both large and small, and a collection of terracottas — many of which have not been seen by the public in over half a century. Our conversation will give you a broad overview of Kent’s biography, features and themes of her art, and how she speaks to our time.

At one point in our lives, most of us (especially women!) have experienced the pesky problems of acne, whiteheads, or blackheads appearing on our skin. As Apsara Skin Care founder Sheetal Rawal states, these problems often arise as a result of hormonal imbalances in women — for example, during the times of puberty, pregnancy, or menopause. Understanding the root of the problem is the best way to fight it. In this episode of the podcast, scientist and geneticist Rawal explains that the genesis of acne usually starts off as a clogged pore, which turns black if it comes in contact with oxygen in the air. This forms a blackhead. If there is still a thin layer of skin over the pore, then a whitehead forms. These are are inter-related skin issues; but, luckily, there is an easy home remedy that adresses all of these concerns, with common kitchen ingredients. Rawal shares the secrets to her remedy in this episode.  Take Apsara Skin Care's personalized quiz to help us find the best products for your needs.

As both women and men age, they fall prey to the negative effects of lines, wrinkles, and dark circles under the eyes. At one point or another, all of us face these issues. How do these pesky culprits appear on our face? In this episode of the podcast, Sheetal discusses the three most common causes of dark under-eye circles, lines and wrinkles, as well as the simple lifestyle changes you can incorporate in order to address these skin care concerns. Genetics, a lack of sleep, and long hours spent in front of harshly lit screens (computer, phone, tablet, etc.) are the three most common culprits of causing aging marks on the face, such as crows feet and habit lines. To combat these, you can; 1. make use of the research in the field of epigenetics, which means to correct your lifestyle to minimize your gene expression, even if you're predisposed to something genetically 2. adjust the brightness and font size on your screens, while also limiting your time in front of them, and 3. make sure you get a proper amount of sleep each night.  A simple, DIY remedy that Sheetal shares includes one teaspoon of instant coffee, one-eighth of a teaspoon of turmeric powder, and enough fresh cucumber juice to make a paste. Combine all of the ingredients thoroughly, and then pat the mixture around the sides, under, and over your eyes for 10-15 minutes, and then rinse with warm water.  Take the skin quiz to help us find the best Apsara products for your skin type or concern.

Although dark spots can be irritating, like many skin care problems, it is a tough, but not impossible problem to solve.  In this episode of the podcast, Sheetal will share with a simple skin remedy with you that you can quickly whip up at home. The mask helps with treating the appearance of dark spots, and includes rice flour, brown sugar, and lemon. You can also take simple steps to make sure you have natural, anti-oxidizing ingredients in your skin care routine. High quality antioxidants include; sandalwood, turmeric, shea butter, rosehip, and vitamin E. Antioxidants keep your skin protected from damage.  Additionally, Apsara's Rosehip And Citrus Nighttime Facial Serum as well as the combination of ROOP Saffron Bright Skin Potion® with the ROOP Saffron Mega Glow Night Serum help to reduce the appearance of dark spots.  Take the skin quiz to help us find the best Apsara products for your skin type or concern.

An Uttar Pradesh Folk Tale about a poor woodcutter and his family, a happy Apsara family, and a magical bowl that can cook any dish!

An inner glow alludes to more than just one's outward appearance, but their internal health and vitality as well. It indicates great health and well-being. Contrary to popular belief, an inner glow is extremely achievable if one follows the correct steps to maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle. In this episode of the podcast, Sheetal will share some tips and tricks to attain an ‘inner glow.' Your diet is of utmost importance as it has everything to do with your appearance. In Ayurveda, the sattvic diet comprises of consuming pure and organic foods. The goal of this diet is to deeply nourish the body and calm the mind down. Some foods that are generally eaten are whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds and seasonal fruits. By doing this, you automatically reduce the toxic load in your digestive system and keep the gut clean. Along with this, it is important to avoid foods with insecticides, pesticides, artificial colors and flavor enhancers – which lead to a toxic build up in the digestive system. Additionally, using high quality natural products made with time tested ingredients like all Apsara products, is important.

Hair fall, early greying and itchy, dandruff-prone hair are becoming more and more prevalent in women. A large contributing factor to these hair conditions is exposure to harsh chemicals which compromise the hair follicles. One may encounter these chemicals in haircare products containing SLS chemicals, parabens, petrochemicals and other harmful substances. Further, the quality of water used to wash one's hair plays an imperative role in its appearance. In this episode of the podcast, Sheetal will share with you a simple tip to promote healthy hair by ensuring that the water you wash your hair with is clean and of the best quality possible. Often, changes in one's environment such as moving to a new country and experiencing different quality off water can cause excess hair loss. Using a chlorine filter in the shower can help prevent this and promote healthy hair. This filter is small and extremely easy to install and use. Furthermore, follow up with a natural, time-tested ingredients-based haircare routine to take continuous and proper care of your hair. In addition to this tip, Apsara's Rosemary and Amla haircare set is free of harsh chemicals, gentle and effective in improving the quality and natural glow of your hair.

Antioxidants are compounds that slow down free radical damage that is going to our skin, hair or scalp. In this day, we are exposed to harsh chemicals on a daily basis, often resulting from environmental factors such as pollution. The increasing free radical damage in women attributes to early greying, rapid aging and hair loss. In this episode of the podcast, Sheetal will provide you with information on the importance of antioxidants and how to implement them into your daily skincare routine. Some foods that are rich in antioxidants are organic produce, as well as many fruits and vegetables. Further, adequate intake of Vitamin C and E are essential. Some sources of vitamin C are citrus and cucumber, while sources of Vitamin E include almond oil (used in many Apsara products) and dark chocolate, which also contains polyphenols. The Vitamin C Skin Glow serum is an Apsara product that is full of antioxidants and extremely beneficial towards slowing down free radical damage to your skin. The ROOP Saffron potion and the ROOP night serum - its nightly counterpart - are equally as antioxidant-rich due to the abundance of saffron in the products.   Take the skin quiz to help us find the best Apsara products for your skin type or concern.

Discoloration of the skin is evident with darker or lighter markings on the skin as compared to the usual color of the skin. The pigment melanin is responsible for the color of our skin, which is why fluctuations in pigmentation can be attributed to increases or decreases in melanin. This causes discoloration and often dark spots as well, which are prevalent skin issues faced by many women.  In this episode of the podcast, Sheetal will share with you 10 useful tips to reduce the discoloration of your skin. While minimizing skin exposure and avoiding tanning beds are imperative, having a natural, time-tested ingredients-based skincare routine will help you maintain a constant practice to reduce discoloration. Natural ingredients such as tomato paste and papaya supplement the skincare routine and can increase the antioxidant levels of the skin while providing repair and damage control. Other useful ingredients include green tea and coffee, which have excellent antioxidant properties, and aloe vera gel for its hydrating moisturizers. You can find home remedies containing these ingredients on our blog at www.apsaraskincare.com. In addition to these remedies, the Sandalwood Natural Facial Serum is designed to aid in sun protection, which makes it a valuable necessity - especially in the summer. Sandalwood itself is known to have skin calming, soothing and sun protection properties. Take the skin quiz to help us find the best Apsara products for your skin type or concern.

In Ayurveda, the health of the digestive system is everything. It is the foundation upon which the health of your skin and hair is built. Along with this comes the importance of gut health. Gut toxicity builds up over a period of time due to poor lifestyle choices and food pollution, amongst other reasons. Once a particular threshold of toxicity is reached, an intense toll is taken upon your general health and the health of your skin and hair. In this episode of the podcast, Sheetal will discuss some important lifestyle errors that you may be making unintentionally. For example, eating food with excess growth hormones, pesticides, flavor enhancers and color may lead to nutrition deficiencies.  In one case, protein synthesis suffers due to a zinc deficiency. Paying attention and actively working to combat them will help you decrease your gut toxicity and improve your overall health. An Apsara product that also aids in reducing the outward appearance of gut toxicity on the skin, is the Sandalwood Facial Serum.

Combination skin is characterized by skin that may be oil in some areas, but dry or normal in others. It is effectively a ‘combination' of different skin types. Although establishing skincare practices for this skin type may sound difficult, Apsara has multiple DIY remedies and product recommendations for individuals to use in an effort to combat both blackhead eruptions and issues that come with taking care of combination skin.   In this episode of the podcast, Sheetal will share with you a simple home remedy to balance out combination skin. The remedy prominently features Fuller's Earth (also known as Multani Mitti in Hindi), nutmeg powder and tomato juice. Fuller's Earth acts as a detoxifier which also reduces the appearance of blackheads and whiteheads, and decongests clogged pores. On the other hand, nutmeg has anti-inflammatory, skin-pacifying properties while tomato juice is an important source of vitamin C – an anti-oxidant which aids in free radical damage repair. The remedy can be used once a week and should be followed up with an adequate toner, serum or lotion afterwards. In addition to the remedy, the Neem Facial Cleanser is designed to balance out combination skin and like all Apsara products, contains no harsh chemicals.

Blackheads are formed when hair follicles within the skin become clogged and produce excess oil, which results in a bump-like formation. Further, air exposure can cause the bump to turn black over time. Reducing blackheads and acne is of utmost importance in order to clear the skin and produce a glow. Washing and cleansing the face regularly can result in acne and blackhead-free skin. In this episode of the podcast, Sheetal will share with you a home remedy that helps diminish blackhead eruptions. This remedy contains only three ingredients – rice flour, baking soda and the most essential ingredient: tomato. As this remedy contains very few ingredients that are both accessible and well-performing, it is an ideal method of reducing blackheads on the face. Along with the remedy, Apsara's Natural Acne Care Routine greatly aids in depleting breakouts and acne, while keeping the skin in control. Like all of Apsara's launches, the acne care routine contains high quality products. Some of Apsara's products have even undergone new labeling, while specific lotions were relooked at and developed for them to become more lightweight. These changes, along with the transformation of our website, portray Apsara's motto of constant change leading to evolution. If you are listening on iTunes, please subscribe and review us.

Vitamin C is known to have numerous skin benefits. Aside from popular usage in protecting the skin from sunlight and UV rays, its antioxidant properties protect the cells against free radicals. Free radicals are molecules that are produced during metabolism and show up as dark spots, wrinkles, lines, under-eye circles and acne on the skin. In addition to clearing up the skin, Vitamin C helps with exfoliation and establishes a natural facial glow. In this episode of the podcast, Sheetal will share with you the benefits of Vitamin C and the usefulness of this ingredient. It is primarily a calming antioxidant with good hydrating properties, that helps reduce anti inflammation and eliminate common skin conditions that show up on the skin, such as spots, wrinkles and even hyperpigmentation. In return, regular use of skincare products that contain Vitamin C, will result in firmer skin and the fortification of the skin's natural immune system. Apsara's newest launch contains the Ayurvedic Vitamin C Natural Glow Serum, which embodies all these properties and helps amplify the glow and clarity of the skin. It is to be used after a cleanser and toner every morning and night, for the highest quality performance. If you're listening on iTunes, make sure to review us and subscribe.
