Spreading Smiles: Shakti Sutra Team's Trip to Phechaan The Street School

2025-04-14T11:02:00.001+05:30

We all know the impact of education on our lives and in society. In schools, we studied the role of education in different domains and eras, from revolutionaries who fought for our independence to social reformers who gave our society new directions to the great scientists who changed our lives through time-changing discoveries and inventions. The contributions of these people are incomparable. They all had a different mission that made them extraordinary but that's not the point here. The matter to ponder is that you are reading the words I wrote. You are interpreting these sentences, that might be different from others depending on your background and experiences. You are making an analogy that might be different from the analogies of others. A philosophy student might infer the words slightly differently than a student of history. Sorry, there are no numbers to tally for the commerce people and no equation for the science people. But believe me, there is nothing to do with all the stuff I just wrote. More than 'why' it's about 'how'. How do you read all the lines above? How are you able to read, interpret, understand, explain, make decisions, etc.? It all starts with your parents' intent to provide you with the best quality education. They thought to see their ward with a successful career. They made efforts to send you to the best educational institute. Even if you are reading this are already a privileged person who has all kinds of basic services and facilities that are required to grab opportunities coming your way.

Very unfortunately not all children are that privileged. It's hard to imagine that a necessity like education is a privilege in today's time but, sadly that gap exists in society. Their parents can't afford to provide their wards with a good reasonable education which closes many doors to opportunities. When a family is thriving to fulfil their basic needs for survival, education becomes a secondary thing. This makes them stuck where they are for one more generation and then the upcoming generation receives the same responsibility to uplift their family. Not land or bank balance, they get poverty and daily struggles in heritage. This is no less like a genetic disease. Life is not a movie full of miracles, here logic works and education is the only therapy for this genetic disease. Here comes the role of an NGO called Pehchaan The Street School took the initiative to bridge this gap. Their mission is to provide quality education and essential items required for education such as stationary, books, etc. for free to underprivileged children. They impart education with the help of their skilled volunteers who teach, organize and provide the vital resources needed. Pehchaan The Street School is not supported by the government or any corporation. It raises funds through the donations made by the volunteers. All the people associated with the Pehchaan The Street School serve with dedication to the noble cause. The intent of the volunteers and members is the key thing that matters to this initiative. It is appreciated by the people and media houses such as 'Aaj Tak' for their noble cause and contribution to society. The values and knowledge charges by the schools are provided by the Pehchaan The Street School for free without any discrimination. Underprivileged children from different backgrounds, races, ethnicities and religions study together under one roof without any discrimination.

This optimistic step is appreciated by the Shakti Sutra whose aim is to revive the essence of our culture. The team of Shakti Sutra visited and spent their precious time with the students of the Pehchaan The Street School. The team of Shakti Sutra distributed food and shared smiles with the students of Pehchaan The Street School. The children also enjoyed their visit, and the interaction was so blissful. The members of the Shakti Sutra were mature, young and aspirational people who understood the spirit of the students and other volunteers and most importantly the significance of this noble cause. They were able to connect with the children and were good at spreading laughter and sharing smiles. They camouflaged with the Pehchaan The Street School volunteers as a family. There were no differences and distinctions but only the pure heart and intentions towards the service to society. The way they interacted and the involvement with students and the volunteers of the Pehchaan The Street School reveals their caring and motherly nature towards society and the people. They create an environment of joy and happiness with their words and gestures. Although Shakti Sutra generally do social work many of them are service-related and bring smiles to people. This was an unexpected collab that was well executed. That day surely will be more than a memory in the album of all the children and volunteers.

At Pehchaan The Street School underprivileged children not only study but score high marks also which is the result of the quality of the education, the hard work of the volunteers and the dedication of the students. Recently, more than forty students from the IP Centre of the Pehchaan The Street School scored first, second and third ranks in their respective classes. This is a wonderful moment of achievement for not only the students but also for the members and volunteers associated with the NGO. This moment was celebrated by the students and the volunteers at the Centre. These achievements are so important because they encourage the children to keep working hard, to never give up, to stay consistent and give them hope that one day they will not be underprivileged anymore. These wins motivate them to stay consistent and keep making efforts. Pehchaan The Street School trying to change the hopeless end to endless hope. That's what matters.

These events like Shakti Sutra's trip to Pehchaan The Street School give them a message that they are not alone in their journey, we are with them as their elder brother and sister, as their guide and mentor. Because you know it's actually easy to say that 'god is with you' but supporting someone true human being provides a different kind of strength. All the associated volunteers and members are trying to be that strength for the underprivileged children. The best way to provide someone strength is to educate them, focusing on their skills development and character building. Teaching ethics and moral values is also as essential as providing education. That's what the NGO is aiming for. Making underprivileged children independent and helping them achieve their career goals will truly fill their hearts with contentment.

Both Shakti Sutra and Pehchaan The Street School are working towards the betterment of society in different ways. But Pehchaan The Street School is providing an identity to underprivileged children. We all know that they go through a lot of struggles and atrocities in daily life that we can not imagine by sitting behind the screens. The world throws more challenges to their path and the NGO is trying to make the path obstacle-free and providing them the shoes they deserve. It is not about the underprivileged children of today, it's about the citizens of the tomorrow. This education can open the doors of opportunities to them that will help them to meet their needs and the luxury they want. God knows what is waiting for them and us in the future. All we can do is effort. The same is doing Pehchaan The Street School. For me, it is not just an NGO but a boon to the society. In my childhood, I used to think that one day I would provide or make education free and accessible to all and now when I see such an initiative trying to do what I wanted to do makes me feel connected.

No matter how hard I try I don't think that it is possible to explain the experience and feelings of those students at the IP Centre. How did the visit by Shakti Sutra leave an imprint on their mind? You and I might not understand their emotions. We can't say how and what relations might be built that day by sharing love, care and concern through the team of Shakti Sutra. You may not believe but we are going to forget this event and many more this kind of events, except those with our involvement. That's the truth. But anyway, it is not about us, it's about those underprivileged children whose lives are affected by these events. Their academics, personal lives, thought processes, points of view, ethics, values, ambitions and many more aspects of their lives are changing because of these small steps taken by people like volunteers of Shakti Sutra.

Although there are no such materialistic rewards for the volunteers, the smiles of the underprivileged children are equal to any reward, their laughter is the currency and their contentment is their satisfaction.

Thank you for reading this long. Thank you for your patience. Because you read until this very end shows you have some fire to do something for the betterment of society. Till then stay happy and keep working hard until we meet again.

Alien Disclosure: Part 3

2023-08-10T15:13:00.000+05:30

Hi! We humans as a super-intelligent species on the earth have some genuine questions in our mind. We don't know their correct answers yet but, one day we may get all answers with evidence. Those questions are about aliens. Yes, I know it's one of the most controversial yet blur topics to conclude anything related but a good one to discuss.

We want to know, do aliens exist? If yes, then where are they? How do they look? From where they came? There are many other questions but, the most important question is how they look at us as their friend or enemy, predator or prey.

If we look back into history there are mentions of many creatures who were different in appearance from any present animal on Earth right now. Who are those mythological creatures that appeared in the history of many civilizations? There are mentions of giants in the mythology of Egyptian civilization who were worshiped by humans as gods. It's possible that they built pyramids at Giza because the stone blocks of the pyramids are impossible to be moved by men with poor technology at that time.

In ancient civilizations, there are mentions of demi-gods who look like us but have superpowers, such as the power to fly or control elements and some extra features such as extra hands. Are they aliens? It may be possible that monsters, gods, and mythological creatures can be aliens and we start calling good aliens gods and bad aliens monsters or demons.

A former FBI official said publically that the FBI contacted aliens and an alien told them that in the early days, aliens used our planet Earth as a prison. If it is true then our home planet was a galactic prison. This means those monsters and demons our ancestors fought might be prisoners brought from another planet and released here. There is still a question. Why they used our planet as a prison? Might be they thought we are less evolved and developed than them so, our lives do not matter to them. It can also be possible that they were experimenting on us. In some areas of the United States people claimed that they were kidnapped by some extraterrestrial beings for experimenting sought of things but they didn't kill them.

I know all of these things are extremely doubtful. Maybe it's all rumors. But in history and mythology, flying objects have been seen which were coming from the sky. But we were not that advanced at that time. Can we also say that the advancement of some ancient civilizations became possible with the help of alien support?

It can be possible that angles are also aliens who were good to us and helped in our scientific, medicinal, and architectural advancement. Then another important question is that are they the ones who introduced spirituality to human civilization and helped us in forming religions or if they want to colonize our minds.

Our planet Earth is extremely diversified. Every change in the ecosystem can be the reason for the extinction or evolution of species. Are those living creatures attracted to the diversity of our ecosystem or, their experiments can be the reason behind some diversity.

Are we humans latecomers in the timeline of the universe?

Questions are many. Eventually, we will answer for all. I hope it will not be scary.

Collage experience till now

2022-03-03T18:53:00.001+05:30

In last few years my social life was ruined. I can't about that to everyone but, i can explain to some special or friend.

Anyway my collage life us very different than i assumed. My expectations were proved brittle and breaking daily. (sarcastically) I just tried to crack joke that "my English is like your Hindi" but😂 now i thought that people took that seriously.

No one is good or bad, rude or polite, friendly or annoying, everyone is different. I can't compare anyone with anyone.

Although i also have some comments about mate, don't take it serious. How can i get to know about someone's nature in two weeks.

Hardik is chill guy like my school friend Sandarbh. Both have many similarities. Currently he is seems matured.

Rishav is also another chill guy. Actually self-sufficient. Perhaps, some girls are trying on him. It is not wrong to use term studd-nerd for him. And one more thing, he has really good taste of music.

Currently i have kinda respect for everyone, i don't know why but I have. I think the people I'm meeting now a days have some purpose which is certainly far from my sight. I don't know how many friends I'll make within three years 😅 but, i hope best for everyone ☺️.

I can't say about much of them. Even that doesn't matters what I'm thinking now. How can I predict and most importantly why can I.

Experiencing new things daily even during travel. But, yes at least one friend is needed to enjoy the college and way. That friend can be anyone.

People lives in long distance relationships and since few months I'm living in long distance friendships🤣😂.

Now, let's see😉

CLASSIFICATION OF PERSONALITY ON THE BASIS OF BODY TYPE (Physique) by W.H. Sheldon

2021-05-11T01:15:00.000+05:30

W.H. Sheldon

William Herbert Sheldon was a American psychologist who classified personality of an individual on the basis of body posture and shape which are endomorph, mesomorph and ectomorph.

Endomorphs

Endomorphs have short arms and legs. that is their limbs are shorter due deposition of adipose tissue.
It is hard for them to loose weight.
They have soft body and have high capacity for high fat storage.
Their excessive mass hinders their ability to compete in sports, but those sports which requires strength like weight lifting, powerlifting and wrestling are suitable for them.

Mesomorphs

Mesomorphs have athletic physique and body composition, their chest and shoulder are broader than their waistline.
They can easily gain or loose weight. they can perform well in sports need strength, agility and speed.

Ectomorphs

Ectomorphs are slim. they have elongated muscled and limbs,
They usually face great difficulties in gaining weight.
Their chest is also flat and have less muscle mass
They don't have a lot of strength but perform wonderfully in endurance activities
They have fast metabolism so that they can easily burn fat
Therefore they can perform well in aerobic activities like gymnastics.

Well none body type is good or bad, every body type has its own qualities

DNA FINGERPRINTING

2020-11-24T19:11:00.008+05:30

What is DNA fingerprinting?

Alec Jeffreys

DNA fingerprinting is a technique to identify a person based on his/her DNA specificity. Every individual organism is unique. Thus every person has unique DNA fingerprint. It can't change by any known technique. It is a quick way to compare the DNA sequences of any two individuals. DNA fingerprinting developed by Alec Jeffreys.

Paternity test
Applications:

Paternity test
Criminal Identification
Determination of population diversity
Determination of genetic diversity

Principle:

It has found that the DNA of an individual carries some specific nucleotide sequences which don't code for any information or proteins. These sequences repeated many times and found at many places throughout the DNA. These sequences of satellite DNA which are very specific in each individual and vary in number from person to person and are inherited. These are a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTRs). Each individual inherits these repeats from his/her parents which used as genetic markers in personally identifying test. Half of the VNTRs of the child resembles that of the mother and half that of the father.

Steps:

1.Isolation of DNA-

The DNA is extracted from the nuclei of WBC or of spermatozoa or from the follicle cell.

2. Fragmentation of DNA-

Gel-electrophorosis

The DNA molecule first cut with the help of enzyme restriction endonucleases that cuts them into fragments. These fragments of DNA contains VNTRs.

3.These DNA fragments are separated according to size by the Gel-electrophoresis.

4.These separated DNA fragments in the gel copied onto the nylon membrane by Southern Blotting Technique.

5.Hybridization-

Special DNA probes are made in the lab. These DNA probes contain the repeated sequence of the base containing VNTRs.
These probes are made radioactive by labelling with radioactive isotopes.
The radioactive DNA probes bind to the repeated DNA sequences on the nylon membrane. This is called Hybridization.

DNA fingerprint

6.Autoradiography-

X-ray film is exposed to the nylon membrane to mark the places, the radioactive DNA probes have bound to the DNA fragments.
These places are marked as dark bands when x-ray film is developing. This is known as autoradiography.
Those dark bands on the x-ray film represent the DNA fingerprints.

Halloween: How, When and Why We Celebrate

2020-11-01T02:12:00.000+05:30

Halloween is one of the most popular festivals in the world. This festival has other names such as Allhalloween, All Hallow's Eve, All saint's Eve. It is a Celtic festival originated from Ireland. Firstly, it spread in Europe and reached to America with Irish immigrants in the late 1800s.

How To Celebrate Halloween

People celebrate this festival by attiring like ghosts, witch and monster. Parties organised, people make pumpkin face lanterns and pumpkin sweets. Dressed children go to houses and ring the doorbell and speak very famous dialogue that is "trick or treat" then the house owner give them candies or sweets as a bribe not to do prank with them. Ancient people celebrate it with the bonfire.

When To Celebrate Halloween

It celebrated on 31 October every year. According to the Celtic calendar this the last day of the year, you can say it Celtic new year eve. It is also the end of harvesting season in the origin country. It is also related to the starting of the winters.

Why We Celebrate Halloween

According to a belief on Halloween, both good and bad souls comes to the earth. People dressed up as ghosts and witch to afraid the unwanted soul and to celebrate the arrival of good souls. Nowadays it just celebrates for fun.

Time Travel Theory of Photons

2020-10-11T00:00:00.001+05:30

We all know that photon is a mass-less and charge-less particle. It moves with the speed of light that is 299792458 m/s. According to Einstein's theory of special relativity if an object moves with the speed of light consistently in a straight line, then it can travel in the time.

Anybody who can travel in the time can change history and solve the mystery.

Thus to make a time machine we have use photon, as an engine as well as fuel. To tow the wagon which will be developed by opaquest and the lightest material. For this, we need an enormous amount of photons. Then we might be able to travel with them with the speed of light.

For this firstly, we have to find a way to trap the photons.

Time travel might be subject to the risk of existence, life and age of any individual or object.

TRADITIONAL SCHOOLING IS BETTER THAN HOMESCHOOLING

2020-08-02T10:44:00.000+05:30

We all know that education is the most relevant asset in the universe. It is also essential to living a dignified life because we all know that pen is mightier than the sword.

Nowadays, a new way of schooling called homeschooling introduced. It seems to be convenient but it is a bane for the society, especially for the children. By watching the screen for hours continuously is weakening their eyesight and many students use earphones for hearing the teacher's voice is reducing their hearing power, a large number of students are complaining about headaches and lethargicness.

Homeschooling also restricts their physical activity which ultimately leads to obesity and other health issues. Don't you think it is a direct mess with student's health?

An appropriate environment is also very to grasp knowledge. No one can study in the noisy or busy surrounding. sometimes some impish students turn off audio and video and start using other apps such as social media, youtube and game.

This online bunking is not a big deal for a student. Homeschooling is not suitable for every subject such as maths and physics because examination including derivations and numerical can't possible as objective because also contains marks as per steps.

In the end, I would like to traditional schooling makes us more social and disciplined along with providing better quality education. A machine can't substitute a classroom. It also plays a vital role in making a man more creative and innovative.

ONLINE EDUCATION DOES MORE GOOD THAN HARM

2020-07-12T19:02:00.000+05:30

Nowadays we all are suffering from an epidemic. this epidemic is affecting our lives but also bring many fields and industries to a standstill. Education is one of them. School and colleges are closed for the betterment of everyone. We all know the importance of education, we found a new alternative of schools and colleges as online classes. It allow us to obey all the rules and regulations to stay safe from covid.

It was appreciated by all when introduced. teachers can easily access to the students and solve their doubts. Students can also ask their quarries easily. These online classes save many school hours and allow us not to compromise with the future of our nation. Through it, an injured student is now able to attend the class. Now the weather can't stop students to reach the school. This transformation of education makes it more accessible, no matters how far you are from the educational institute.

Teachers are too convenient with this advancement because now they maintain the student's records. Online education reduced physical efforts and developing new learning skills. It may also enhance the grasping power of once. Technically it is less time-consuming. It's eco-friendly too, as it conserves fossil-fuels and trees by saving paper. This online education help to build awareness about technology in society.

In the end, I would like to conclude that despite numbers of advantages this online education doesn't satisfy some parents. No doubt that it somewhere consumes more mental energy, weakens eyesight, consumes more electricity and promotes obesity but online education does more good than harm. It is a great way of learning and everyone should adopt it.

Alien Disclosure: Part 2

2020-05-20T23:54:00.001+05:30

American airforce declared that the leaked videos of UFOs are real and was recorded by American airforce. We still don't know about area 51, 52, 53 and many more. UFOs had been seen there and nearby region many times. Maybe the American government is hiding something extraterrestrial such as the alien spaceship. American government marked these areas restricted by the military.

Is intelligence agencies of many nations know about the nonplanetary organisms? If yes, so why they don't disclose about them?

What you di, if you come to know your neighbours are actually aliens? This will be really shocking. Maybe they have a base on earth. It is possible that they are present on our planet much before our existence.

In human history, there are many things that were impossible for humans to do at that time. Such as Stonehenge and Pyramids of Giza. Even a group of people can't lift those heavy stones whose weighs in tons. So, what do you think who made them?

Part 3 coming soon

Comment your view

Alien Disclosure: part 1

2020-05-19T22:29:00.000+05:30

Everybody ever hears about aliens in their lifetime. Any organism from outside the earth is called alien. We know negligible about them. Many times we found UFO (Unidentified Flying Object). These UFO can be travel millions of light-years. They can be more evolved and advanced than most intelligent species on the planet 'Humans'. We don't know about their morphology and anatomy.

There is no doubt about their existence. We know that we are not alone in this universe. But who are our universal neighbours? Are they friendly neighbourhood or harmful to us? Maybe they are living among us or spying us.

Why they are visiting our planet?

They may be visiting earth for fulfilling their resources need. Maybe they are using our planet as a laboratory. Assumptions can never end. Let's disclose aliens.

How to live a quarantine life

2020-04-23T22:39:00.000+05:30

During quarantine, everyone gets lockdown in their homes or anywhere they are. All the offices, schools and colleges get shut down. On the point of view of an ordinary man, it's a great time for him to rest and to live life in his own way. From children to working people and corporates everyone is happy in the starting.

Then all comes to know that lockdown is extended and all services are close except groceries.

Now it's time to getting bore for most of the people but, maybe good news for extraordinary people. They can earn from home and can create something innovative. Now it sounds awesome.

After the lockdown, you will observe that most of your friends will get obsessed, depressed, lethargic, or may suffer from any other problem. Their physique will totally disturb. The same can happen to us. Therefore, to keep healthy mentally and physically both, we should follow the following deeds-

1. For earning we can start Youtubing and blogging

2. Develop any fruitful hobby such as cooking, poetry, etc.

3. You can do free online courses

4. Workout at least once a day

5. Keep engaging with family and friends with the help of cellphone, social media, etc.

6. Give your body and mind a demanding rest

So, try to enjoy the quarantine and use the lockdown in a productive way.

Bacteriophages: Our friendly neighbourhood

2020-03-27T21:32:00.000+05:30

Bacteriophages are the virus. These are non-cellular organisms. Thus they are not considered as living. They seem to be mechanical as someone made them. They are motile. Consists of a crystalline head, collar, sheath and tail fibres. They contain RNA as genetic material.

They found everywhere from eyes to eyelids. They found much more than any organism. They are the deadliest being on the planet. They daily kill 40% of bacteria in the oceans. They are much smaller than our cells and bacterias. They are known as bacteriophages because of they phages bacteria. Each bacteriophage terminates specific bacteria.

When bacteriophage finds it's victim, then it injects its genetic material inside the bacteria. This produces many new phages inside the bacteria body, which releases an enzyme called endolysin. This enzyme punches the hole and causes bacteria to burst. With the burst, those bacteriophages come out in the environment. Fortunately, bacteriophages can't harm us even when our cell and it encounters each other because bacteriophage ignores our cells as the human cell is not it's a specific victim.

Till 200 years ago a single cut sometimes kills a person due to bacterial infections and luckily we found an antibiotic from algae called Penicillin. But due to more use of antibiotics bacteria get evolved and immune to it and antibiotics also kills the good bacteria of our body.

When bacterias get evolved it becomes a superbug but, bacteriophages can destroy them. With the evolution of bacteria, bacteriophages also evolve. Bacteria who get immune against them, lose its resistance to antibiotics.

A few years ago an old man gets infected poorly by bacteria named as Pseudomonas Aeruginosa in his chest cavity. This bacteria is naturally resisted to many antibiotics and can even survive in alcohol. In the end, doctors experimentally inject bacteriophage into his chest cavity and within a week the patient gets cured completely.

The bacteriophages are our friendly neighbourhood.

CARBON AND ITS ALLOTROPES

2020-03-25T16:05:00.001+05:30

When it comes to carbon, most people will think of coal. But few will remember what they studied in 10th standard, about the allotropes of carbon, namely Graphite, Diamond and Fullerenes. Let us discuss that in brief.

GRAPHITE: -

Graphite structure

It is the form of carbon in which atoms are arranged hexagonally, layer by layer. It is the most stable form of carbon. Therefore, its formation enthalpy is taken as zero. It conducts electricity as the electrons can move freely.

Lead of pencil is made up of graphite

It is very soft and slippery. Oils cannot be used at high temperature. Therefore, it is used as a lubricant for machines at very high temperature. It is also used as fibres in plastic for great strength. Every layer of graphite has a gap of 340 picometers from each other. Each carbon has sp2 hybridisation.

DIAMOND: -

Structure of Diamond

It is the form of carbon with a crystal structure. It is the hardest substance on earth. The hardness is due to the extended covalent bond. It is used to make jeweller, cutting tools. It is also used in the manufacture of tungsten filaments in light bulbs.

Every carbon atom is bonded to four other carbon atoms. Therefore, each carbon atom has sp3 hybridisation. The bond length is 154 pm. The formation enthalpy of the diamond is 1.9 kJ/mol.

FULLERENES: -

Structure of Fullerence

They are artificially created by heating graphite in an electric arc. Fullerenes are of many types, depending on the number of bonded carbons. Most important of them is the buckminsterfullerene.

It has 60 carbon atoms bonded in it. It has the shape of a soccer ball. The bond length of the single bond is 143.5 pm and that of the double bond is 138.3 pm. Its formation enthalpy is 38.1 kJ/mol. Therefore, it is not found in nature.

There are other forms of carbons like carbon black, coke, etc. But they are not allotropes as they have other components too.

CORONA VIRUS: COVID19- prevention and symptoms

2020-03-24T00:15:00.000+05:30

Corona virus is a virus which causes a disease called COVID19 ( Coronavirus Disease 2019). This virus first found at Wuhan (China) and spread rapidly. Thousands of people died in a few days. This virus attacks the elderly and children are more likely. People with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases and cancer are prone to serious illness.

COVID19 primarily spreads through droplets of saliva and discharging of the nose when someone sneezes or coughs. Therefore it is essential to cover the mouth and nose while sneezing or coughing. There are no specific vaccines for the treatment.

Prevention-

Cover your face with masks while going out.
Try to avoid direct contacting (handshakes and hugs)
Wash your face and hands with soap in regular interval of time and when you enter the house.
Use alcohol-based sanitizers.
Prefer only homemade food and take a healthy diet.
Avoid touching your face.
Avoid unnecessary travel.
Maintain 1m distance from the unwell person.

Symptoms-

Fever
tiredness
dry cough
Aches and pains
sore throat
Runny nose
Nausea
Shortness of breath

As per instructions from ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research), if you feel ill so, You can use "Hydroxychloroquine" with the prescription of the doctor. This medicine generally uses to cure malaria.

Please follow the above mentioned prevention because prevention is always better than cure. We must control this disease it reaches the third stage that is community level of spreading. Be aware as daily thousands are getting infected. And hundreds are dying. So, take care of your hygiene.

If you are feeling ill then, start living in self-quarantine or keep your ailing family member in quarantine. Stay safe at home. Plan don't panic.

The Superstitious Society

2020-03-23T00:45:00.000+05:30

Superstition is affecting our society somewhere about which we all are unaware. We all have seems to be a modern outlook. But it is still hidden from all of us such as holding breath or urge to urinate for winning of our favourite team.

Superstitions sometimes prove to be violent for the society. If peep into history, we come to know that it gives rise to racism like untouchability that caused many massacres and responsible for the number of mow downs. 'Sati pratha' was also a deadly, male dominant and unfair custom in India. God knows how many cleanhanded women died due to that inhuman custom.

These reveal the mentality of the people and these kinds of people acts as an obstacle in the development of the civilisation. Education is the best way to make people aware and bring them out in reality. Many decades ago people were believed that sun revolves around the earth and now the actuality is vice versa.
Every coin has two faces as it is some superstitions are proved to be s iscientific. Such as we should not sleep under the tree. But why? Because we need oxygen for respiration and trees too in the absence of sunlight. And they consume the oxygen of our portion also.

Thus it is easy to build or break the confidence of a superstitious man. This may lead to the luck factor and directly affects the performance, lifestyle, success, relations, emotion and mentality of the people.

CASE STUDY: Dr Vivek Bindra

2020-03-20T12:53:00.001+05:30

He was born in Lucknow on 5 April 1978. He lost his father in his early childhood. Due to some circumstances, he couldn't live with his mother. He spent his childhood with his uncle (chacha) and grandparents.

He was very interested in sports and involved in it along with his education, he can easily relate it with his life. Sports gave him the power to bounce back that gave him the outlet to tackle depressing situations. During his schooling, he was good in some subjects and okay in some. He always got the highest marks in business studies, he had a natural flair about it. When he was of 16 he started home tuitions with a batch of teachers to earn some money because he had a lack of currency to support his study.

He got admission in a university of business studied in London but he couldn't go there as he was financially weak. During his college time, he used to sell dictionaries on roads in the evening. After completing his graduation from Amity university he became a monk for four years because there were no parents and real brother and sister for whom he can make efforts.

WHY WE DREAMS DURING SLEEP?

2020-03-17T19:20:00.001+05:30

Everyone dreams while sleeping. duration of these dreams is usually a few minutes and comes in between 12 am to 4 am. Sometimes dreams are familiar and sometimes astonishing, they can be a fantasy also.

Normally characters are known persons. Do you ever think about why those people come in your dream? The person you have recently met usually comes in your dream and those also you haven't met from a long time this is because those people are missing you. Dreams are also caused by replaying of memories by the mind which is a natural process and these types of dreams are usually fantasies.

But the actual reasons for dreams is to give experience. It helps you to tackle odd situations, which may be deadly. And coincidently some occurs in your life is the plus point of dreams.

We should pen down our dreams just after we wake up every dream contains some hidden messages which may be vital. Thus every dream has a reason and we should not ignore then as a regular event.

GANDHI: Bapu you are immortal

2019-10-31T22:54:00.003+05:30

Dear Bapu, you are immortal. He is still, alive in our hearts. we are highly obliged to you for this united republic. Mahatma Gandhi was sensational and the most inspiring personality in the universe then, now & forever. His contribution to humanity is truly unforgettable. His full name was "Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi" and was born Oct 2, 1869, at Porbandar, Kathiawar Agency (now in Gujrat) British-ruled India in an ordinary family.

He achieved his degree of Bachelor of Laws from University College London, Inner Temple. He was a pretty self-esteemed person because "when in South Africa in judicial court, judge compelled him to remove his turban he refused and left the courtroom". He is the national father of India but a musketeer for humanity. He protested against the racism in South Africa which gave rise to a Nobel prize for peace winner Nelson Mandela the first president of South Africa. He started a peaceful protest against the banes of the society which are famous by the name of "Satyagrahas". By observing their life we find that he was a stickler for the rules. He only took a vegetarian diet and never consumed alcohol throughout life. During his formative years, he grew up under the influence Jainism thus their actions revealed the principle of it. He followed eight rules of Yoga throughout his life as follow- Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharna, Dhyana and Samadhi.

We can easily see the Aprigraha which is the part of Yama, and it means to lead the life with minimum requirements as he doesn't have many properties and much clothes. Tapa another part of Niyama which means to endure the difficulties, obstacles and complex situations easily in the ways of attaining the objectives and to go-ahead continuously towards the goal. We can easily see this behind their success. Yoga was the reason behind his fitness and disease proof body.

When he came back to India the condition of farmers and labors were worst. Then he started Satyagraha for their rights such as in Champaran for indigo farmers, in Kheda for cotton mill workers and Dandi against the salt law. There is no doubt that he was the chairperson of quit India movement and Swadesi movement.

He never appreciated the way of Nehru and Sardar Patel but he had still joined them because in spite of different paths they had the same aim.

He was also against the idea of partition but he couldn't protest against it because he supported the will of the crowd. He always supported truth, according to him nepotism is making our society hollow internally.

He died on 30 January 1948. Nathuram Godse assassinated him. When he was dying he recites the name of God 'Ram' three times. His eight km funeral procession was organized. He was responsible for civil right movements in four continents and twelve countries. Shockingly, he was five times nominated for Nobel prize but could be awarded by none, thus committee also apologized on it.

He doesn't need any award to prove his superiority. He was the epitome of breathing peace and contentment.

Increasing indiscipline among the students

2019-07-28T18:41:00.002+05:30

A teacher plays an essential role in everyone's life. It navigates us to the way of success. it as a very honorable job and a teacher have the power of changing the world. Till the last era, students respect their teachers and obey their commands and lessons at any touchstone. They never counter them and their tutor also supports the teachers of their wards.

But nowadays that scenario is vise versed because now students have no respect for their teachers. They also shoot out their mouth and arguing them in an non-respectful way. Sometimes they become undisciplined with them in spite of being frank.

According to a law which made a few years ago educators are not allowed to beat the student this is very appreciable but what about the students, if they raise their hands on their tutors. Then what can they do?

There are many cases in which teachers became the victim of mob lynching by their students. Even in a case, a student shoots out his teacher. this proves that educators are not safe in our society due to the indiscipline among the students.

we should minimize this indiscipline for the betterment of our society because it does not avail anyone in any field. Discipline is the key to success. thus we should be aware of it.

Mob Lynching

2019-07-21T13:23:00.000+05:30

People have many ways to express their frustration and one of them and most dangerous is mob lynching. When people of the same mentality with the same way to show their frustration on the same people through violence is called mob lynching. Sometimes it causes the death of the victim. It is very tough for the victim to shield himself. There can be any reason for the lynching.

It is not a newly introduced form of expressing anger but a historic way of the public to show their power. This ancient way of showing anger is very devastating and full of violence which bans nowadays and declared as illegal action by the governments of many nations.

History is the spectator of it in the events like the French revolution, Russian revolution, partition of India and Pakistan, in the general elections of India, many cases of mob lynching came forward which proved that it can be caused due religious, spiritual and other purposes or by the supporters of a particular political party.

Usually, gangsters and criminals are involved in it. They can use it to make their region of terror. Before E.V.M. machines politicians were used it to establish their monopoly on the seats. It is a carnivore beast that only grows under the shadow of corruption.

It breaks the man's will power with morphological wounds. Usually, it is the main reason for the migration of minority communities from their homeland. There are many laws were made already to prevent it but, very, unfortunately, they are not implementing correctly, that's why many cases of it are still running in the judicial courts.

Thus be aware of those mobs who are seen to be non-civil and don't support any mob who is responsible for the lynching. It is a global problem, therefore, we should stand together to remove it from its roots.

So, "say no to mob lynching". We need to fight against it.

THE POPULATION BLAST

2019-07-14T17:45:00.000+05:30

Nowadays the population is increasing at a very high rate and the population growth rate is also increasing. Now the world’s population is 7.7 billion in the year 2019 and the roads are full of traffic, market places are very crowded, hospitals and clinics are full of patients. These all are just a few side effects of the overgrowing population.

Now China consists of 19% and India consists of 18% of the world population which is lesser than their land area. Do you know in the last sixty seconds 250 births occur and 105 people are decease? As we can see that birth rate is more than double the death rate. To show the menace created by the overgrowth of the population we can take the instance of India which has the second-largest people number in the world and is also suffering from a lot of problems that occur due to it.

Their roads are so narrow with very fewer lanes and illegal encroachment is also responsible for making them narrow but this is because lanes are enough for the previous population and more people need more space to live are the respective reasons.

In hospitals there are hundreds of patients in each which is much more than the doctors in India leads to high fees for better treatment and sky-touching rates of medicines. Patients have to wait for hours for treatment even in critical conditions. Thus medical facilities are less but treatment charges are high.

Similarly, the judiciary system becomes very slow due to the increasing number of criminal cases and the slow judicial process in older cases. There are only 21,000 judges for millions of cases. There a lawyer earns much more than a judge. Sometimes a criminal dies before resolving its case.

A high population simply means high unemployment and disguised unemployment. A large number of people can bring quantity but not quality. It leads to over exploitation of resources and also reduces the living standard. Thus we should follow the slogan “a small family, happy family”. To control it we can use contraceptive methods during the reproduction. We need social awareness and civic sense to understand the message of this article.
