Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Besides being physically fit, it’s important to take care of your mental health, your thoughts on the same, also what do you do to give yourself a breather during your work schedules
Ms. Barkha Singh:
Absolutely! I think it is very important to stay mentally fit, stable, and happy. For that, since the past few years, I’ve been focusing on disciplining my mind through meditation – and that’s exactly what I do to give myself a
breather even if I’m on set and if I get 30 minutes free, I try spending it sitting by myself and meditating and that has made a difference. It’s very important to listen to your mind and to listen to yourself and understand how you are feeling because that has a huge impact on everything you do. Therefore, it’s really important to take care of one’s mental health.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Being our cover girl, what message would you like to share with our readers on how to prioritize health and fitness in 2021?
Ms. Barkha Singh:
All of 2020 has been tough because we were thrown into the deep end because there was this pandemic that came out of nowhere unexpectedly so I think more than any other time, now is the time when we need to
focus on our mental and physical health. So my piece of advice would be to take time out for ourselves. Generally, when we are trying to hustle and work a lot, we forget to prioritize ourselves but that is very important. So I think we should focus on our physical and mental health, spend time with our loved ones, just do things that make us happy. In short – Take out time for yourself
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have an aesthetic social media feed, share 5 tips for how to build an attractive social media and grow on it
Ms. Barkha Singh:
Honestly, I don’t have 5 tips. As I mentioned, there is only 1 tip and that is, be yourself and be who you truly are and I think that is the most attractive thing since that is something that you are going to consistently be
able to do, and neither will the people get bored since you are not bored. Aesthetically, something as basic as colors, there are eclectic ones that I really like, and inevitably I gravitate towards those colors when I am editing my content or when I am even creating content. So I guess, sometimes, you should even focus on the overall aesthetic
of your feed to give it uniformity. Post consistently, don’t worry about individual numbers on one post or engagement on another post. I think, just doing your thing consistently is the trick to creating a wholesome social
media profile. Apart from that, all this just leads down to one thing of keeping it real and keeping it true to oneself because only when you keep it real and true to yourself will you be able to do this consistently over a long period.

Being a travel influencer, what are your favorite travel destinations and 2 places that are on your bucket list?
Ms.Barkha Singh:
Yes, being a travel content creator, I have covered all continents in the world apart from Antarctica and South America. South America is next on my bucket list.
My favorite travel destination – this is a very tough question to answer! I think I really enjoyed traveling in Finland because it was so diverse right from the food to the vegetation, to the uniqueness of everything – Even the sun was out and shining at midnight, so that was something very new and exciting for me. Russia was great too since it was different in so many ways. Moreover, the northeastern part of India is also something I enjoyed traveling to because it’s gorgeous and untouched so that is great if I were to pick something in India.
When it comes to my bucket list – I want to go to South America. It’s one of the continents I’ve never been to and Antarctica but I guess South America is more doable. In fact, more specifically, Brazil is the one place I really want to go and it has been on my bucket list forever

Lastly, with Earth Day approaching what are your takes on sustainable fashion, also one buy of yours that you deeply regret
Ms Barkha Singh:
If you have been following my profile and my work on social media, I am an ardent supporter of environmentally responsible practices. This is also what I’ve studied and majored in – Business Sustainability – that
is – all your sustainable business practices. So this is something that is very close to my heart. Sustainable fashion is very important because we have one planet and we are deteriorating it. There’s nothing really that I regret buying. I’ve been a very very conscious buyer. For example, even something as small as using extra tissue paper is something I am very very conscious about. I’ve not been using animal products for over a decade now, so even if I’ve accidentally bought a bag, shoe, or a belt that was an animal product and I realized it later, that would have been something that I would have regret buying. For the longest, I’ve been very cautious of what I buy and where I buy from; even natural products where they are sourced from. I repeat clothes, and love reusing and restyling
them.
