Honesty !!

Honesty is a great virtue which is adored all over the world. It is rare to find a truly honest man. A man is born with the quality of honesty, and then, it depends how he is brought up by his parents. If the parents are themselves honest, it cannot be confidently said that their children will also be honest, although the children of honest parents are generally found to be honest and disciplined in life., As the sun is known to all by its light and energy, so an honest person can also be identified by his nature and behav­iour. An honest man succeeds in life better than a dishonest man. He is trusted by the people, and respected for his moral character. A dishonest person may cheat some people some time, but not all the time. The Bible says, "Our sin will find us out". Dishonesty is a sin which must come out sooner or later. A dishonest person is hated and disbelieved by all, and does not get support or sympathy from anyone. Thus his life becomes miserable. History...

Global Warming!!

Image
Global warming  is a cause for concern for the whole world and it has to be tackled by all countries together Mercury is rising and very soon life on Earth will become a living hell all thanks to global warming. Today, when things are still not as bad as they will be in future, our dependence on technology is increasing, day by day. With the opening of our economy and globalization the middle class Indians have climbed up the social ladder and can easily afford many luxuries they could not imagine in the past. The result is for all to see, roads over flowing with the latest cars, fields and trees in the name of progress and development are gradually, systematically making way for concrete jungles, homes fitted with the latest electric gadgets, all contributing to the emission of green house gases and depletion of the ozone layers, accelerating global warning. Nature is warning us through the melting of the glaciers and climate change that the clock, for our doom’s...

Stop Eve teasing!!

Image
Eve teasing  is a typical social crime. It is the sexual harassment or molestation of women by men. It is prevalent almost everywhere, but in India, especially in the cities; you can’t be a woman and not have been its victim at some point in your life. It ranges in severity from sexually evocative remarks to out-and-out groping. Wherever you go in India, be it the mall, the bus stand, the railway station, the theatre, colleges, schools, if you are a woman you can’t escape it. Many believe that it is the clothing of women that elicits such uncouth behaviour, but the sad truth is that even conservatively dressed Muslim women who wear a burqa over their clothes leaving only the eyes and feet visible are subjected to it. There are different levels of eve teasing and the very word teasing kind of belies the actual scale of harassment it implies. Women are subjected to lewd remarks, cat calls, outstretched hands that reach out for their private parts, pinching and even g...

Female foeticide

Image
We are all the citizens of a country which can rightly boast of a proud past, a past, a culture in which there was never any discrimination on the basis of sex.  Woman in this country has always been looked upon as more important than man.  Look at our nomenclature : Sita — Ram, Radhey –Sham, the names of the women take precedence over those of men.  No auspicious ceremony is supposed to be complete without the presence of a woman.  Lord Rama had to get a golden statue of Sita made so that the auspicious Yajna could be completed. It is this country where the unmarried girl is looked upon as ‘Kanjak” — a divine being, fit to be worshipped, a rather than being looked upon as an object of lust or sex.  In some of our functions like Durga Puja, Ashtami, etc. small kanjaks are invited, their feet are washed by the elders of the household, they are served  with halva-puri in the presence of the deities and then given a send-off with a ‘dakshina’....

BETI BACHAO!! BETI PADHAO!!

Image
Beti Bachao Beti Padhao slogans  and Abhiyan was started by  PM Narendra Modi  in 2015 which means “Save girl child, educate girl child ” in English. Today’s modern India offers a lot of opportunities to women. This is one side of progressing India where on the other side if one looks at gender decline in the sex ratio, the dark side of Indian society comes in front. As per the India’s constitution, women are legal citizens of the country and have equal rights with men. If we look in the past, in the early vedic period women enjoyed the equal status with men in all aspects of life. As per the 2011 census in India, the sex ratio is 926 in the urban area and 947 in the rural area. (that means number of girls per 1000 boys). In order to provide more gender equal environment and the protection of girl child, Modi government has initiated the “ Beti Bachao Beti Padhao”. This is a joint initiative of Women and child development ministry, Ministry of Health and F...

Importance of Social Networking Sites!!

Image
Advent of the social networking platform helped to enhance communication between the people and business. World has become a smaller place thanks to face book and twitter where people can meet their friends and colleagues both old and new. They can post their thoughts, chat or even play games.

Contacting families and friends had never been as easy as it is now with the arrival of the social media platforms. Call...

Stop Body Shaming!!

Image
Body shaming is one of the biggest problems in today’s generation. Society doesn't just find humor in degrading a woman's body; they also find humor in degrading a man's body. Body shaming has become a problem for both genders. People take their own insecurities and aim them at other people to make themselves feel better about their own body. Body shaming, while common in both genders, is especially harmful to women. Celebrities such as Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, and Jonah Hill have also been victims of body shaming by many people throughout the Internet. Body shaming is why both guys and girls have such low self-esteem. Body shaming is causing teens nowadays to be insecure. Today’s generation does not see wrong in expressing their opinion. That is true, but shutting out anyone with a different body type than them is not okay.B etween  one third and half of young girls fear becoming fat and engage in dieting or binge eating. It also said that girls as young as five...
