INVESTMENT IN THE STOCK MARKET FOR BEGINNERS

The stock market refers to public markets that exist for issuing, buying, and selling stocks that trade on a stock exchange or over-the-counter.  In simple terms, if A wants to sell shares of Reliance Industries, the stock market will help him to meet the seller who is willing to buy Reliance Industries.  A person can trade in the stock market only through a registered intermediary known as a stock broker. The buying and selling of shares take place through electronic medium.

There are two main stock exchanges in India where majority of the trades take place – Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE). Apart from these two exchanges, there are some other regional stock exchanges like Bangalore Stock Exchange, Madras Stock Exchange etc but these exchanges do not play a meaningful role anymore.

NSE is the leading stock exchange in India where one can buy or sell shares of publicly listed companies. It was established in the year 1992 and is located in Mumbai. NSE has a flagship index named as NIFTY50. The index comprises of the top 50 companies based on its trading volume and market capitalisation.  BSE is Asia’s first as well as the oldest stock exchange in India. It was established in 1875 and is located in Mumbai. BSE Sensex is the flagship index of BSE.

Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is the regulatory body of the Indian Stock Markets. The main objective of SEBI is to safeguard the interest of retail investors, promote the development of stock exchanges, and regulate the activities of financial intermediaries and investors in the market. A stock broker also known as a dealer is a professional individual who buys/sells shares on behalf of its clients. In the stock market, stock broker is registered as a trading member with the stock exchange and holds a stock broking license. They operate under the guidelines prescribed by SEBI.

 ADVANTAGES OF INVESTING IN STOCK MARKET:

  •  the stock market can make great money in a short time of period.
  •  Unlike other investments, such as real estate and CDs, investors can easily access money in the stock market.
  • Investing in the stock market can help in our entire financial portfolio.

DISADVANTAGES IN INVESTING IN STOCK MARKET:

  • Investors can expect daily volatility in the stock market, but large failures in the system are less common.
  • In the stock market, there are winners and losers. Winners can make much money, but those who lose can see all of their investment disappear.
  • Every time an investor decides to buy or sell shares, he or she will have to shell out a certain proportion as brokerage fees to the broker.

Self Acceptance and Self Love

In the present day world of advancements, every individual is different than the other. Every person at present possesses some special quality. But in spite of accepting differences and talents people are inviting jealousy and envy into their lovely peaceful lives. Due to this, a lot of people are ashamed of their selves and hence end up utilizing crucial time of theirs in just copying their so called ‘Idols’.


It has turned to be a common habit of human beings at present getting influenced by others to such an extent that they start hating themselves. The reason is not being same as the ones whom they like.


Every other creation of God is unique in its own sense. But because of the misbeliefs setup in the society and the desired mark of being a certain type, people start thinking there’s something wrong in them. Such types of feelings arise in an individual because they think they are nothing, but only a misfit.


Just because they don’t fit into the categories being created by people of some undeveloped mindset.


For instance, let’s take the example of complexion. It is generally assumed that having a fair complexion is bliss whereas being dark is a curse. Whosoever is fair is just beautiful or handsome or more correctly ‘perfect’, irrespective of their behavior, habits and nature. Whosoever is dark is just straight away considered bad, misfit, bizarre or odd.


When an individual lives in society with such beliefs which are in actual misbeliefs, it makes a very deep impact upon the psychology of the person and their love towards self starts falling. In some cases, self love and self respect simply ends up just because of the standards and the categories being set up in the society. The biggest example to the present generation is Michael Jackson. Yes, the American singer, songwriter and a dancer too. Despite being so much talented, he had such complicated cosmetic surgeries through which he tried to lighten up his dark skin tone and reshape his face so that he could also look attractive just like others.


If he wouldn’t have undergone such surgeries and would have continued to life a with his talents, he would’ve lived a life so good, being satisfied with self filled with all happiness and piousness. The so called cruel world makes an individual think that something is very wrong with them.


Not only complexion, these disbeliefs makes an individual think they are born with the wrong name, having stupid (not so cool) surnames and even about owing wrong sexual orientation.


People with such stereotypical mindsets, must clear their minds off and should try to rise up from their misbeliefs. After rising out of this ocean of negativity, pessimism and cynicism, such people will be able to look the world with a new perspective and new attitude.


The world is really filled with so many different creations of varying nature, appearances and individuality. Before accepting others, one must try to accept themselves. Everyone is perfect, everyone is beautiful. The only thing to be changed is the attitude and the viewpoint.


Individuals should start loving themselves. Every other person with a different skin tone, different body weight, different sexual orientation, different likings or disliking, different ethnic backgrounds and different financial backgrounds, is a creation of God made with love and a purpose to be served in life.


Human beings must not forget their goals and the purpose for which they are meant. Life Goals and Peace of mind by an individual can only be attained when an individual starts accepting and starts loving himself or herself.


That’s why it’s said by a not so famous writer,


“The key to peace of mind is self acceptance and self love”

DU admission goes online

One of the most prestigious universities in India, Delhi University has received approximately 3.5 lakh applications for undergraduate (UG) courses this year, almost a lakh more from the last year. The Delhi University is one-stop destination for all stream students, be it commerce, science or humanities with top colleges like St.Stephen’s College, Miranda House, Hindu College, Delhi College of Arts and Commerce, Ramjas, SRCC, Sri Venkateshwar etc.

The reason for the high number of aspirants can be the admission portal being open for longer than usual, for about 10 weeks. The unprecedented situation due to the pandemic has also made the students who otherwise would have gone abroad to apply at DU. Also as the entrance examinations like NEET, JEE got delayed, the students registered for admission at DU. This has made the varsity to take the required measures to go online for admission this year and ensuring glitch-free, least cumbersome procedure.

It is also evident that the pandemic was unable to deter the students from other states to apply at DU (about 60% students). The semester will be online with no need for students to come to Delhi until the situation gets better. This Covid-19 pandemic has made it impossible to conduct the physical classes as social distancing is hardly feasible in the college campus.

The cut-offs are expected to be declared in the first week of October. The classes shall begin not before early November for the 1st year students of DU. For the students of second and third year, the online lectures have already begun in full swing from early August.

Rape – A silent crime

“Rape is one of the most terrible crimes on earth and it happens every few minutes. The problem with groups who deal with rape is that they try to educate women about how to defend themselves. What really needs to be done is teaching men not to rape. Go to the source and start there.

Though India is a growing country but still the mentality and nature of some people doesn’t change.Rape is a huge issue that plagues the world today. It is a worldwide issue, and is not specific to any one country. Rape also can impact anyone at any time. It is not specific to any one neighborhood, race, gender, sexual orientation, age, or financial status. Rapes continue to happen frequently, and yet many are not reported to the police. Rape is widely thought to be the most underreported crime. There are many stigmas that go along with rape, so it makes it difficult to come forward. Also, it is sometimes difficult to prove rape when there are no physical signs. The victim may also fear being further victimized through the investigative process, so the crime is not reported.

Rape is a profoundly different type of crime as the attacker is using their body as a weapon. Instead of merely stealing some personal item that can be replaced, the attacker takes something from the victim’s body and mind, which can never be replaced. This ordeal may only last a few minutes, but feels like hours to the victim as they wonder what will happen next. Also, it can last longer in cases of gang rapes. Once the event is finally over and the victim realizes they have survived, they may not want to talk about it with anyone, and especially not law enforcement officers and prosecutors.

However, there are five types of rape, which I will discuss. The over-all definition is Rape, unlawful sexual intercourse, achieved through force and without consent. The second is Forcible Rape, unlawful sexual intercourse with a female by force and against her will, or without her legal consent. Next is Date Rape also known as Acquaintance Rape, unlawful sexual intercourse that occurs in the context of the dating relationship or by someone you know. The fourth is Marital Rape, forcible sex between two people who are legally married. The Final is Gang Rape, which is when a group of men attack a defenseless or inebriated victim and force sexual intercourse against her will.

Using a small sample survey, Human Rights Watch projects more than 7,200 minors – 1.6 in 100,000 minors – are raped each year in India. Among these, victims who do report the assaults are alleged to suffer mistreatment and humiliation from the police. Minor girls are trafficked into prostitution in India, thus rape of minors conflates into a lifetime of suffering.According to NCRB 2015 statistics, Madhya Pradesh has the highest raw number of rape reports among Indian states,while Jodhpur in Rajasthan has the highest per capita rate of rape reports in cities followed by Delhi, the capital city.

The dire need of today is to curb this violent crime. The most important step to be taken in this direction is the strengthening of laws dealing with sexual assaults.

Death penalty should be imposed on a rape accused.

A woman’s squad should be formed in every district which would exclusively deal with problems of women.

Fast track courts must be established so that justice is given as early as possible.

Some NGO should start Rape Crisis Centre where victim can approach by calling a toll-free number or physically visiting the local centres. Such centre should play a vital role in supporting rape victims to cope up with the psychological trauma and also guide them to obtain legal remedy.

Women are wonderful daughters, sisters, wives, and mothers. They should be loved, cared, respected and should be protected.

SSR Case – A Media Circus

Sushant Singh Rajput and Rhea Chakraborty

On June 14, Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Bandra apartment. The same week, Rajput’s father filed a case against co-actor Rhea Chakraborty, accusing her of abetment in his alleged suicide. Rajput’s sister even claimed that Chakraborty, his partner at that time, of practicing black magic.

This was by followed a maelstorm of misreported facts, concocted lies, and sheer entertainment in the name of news. News channels shamelessly ran provocative and derogatory headlines like “Sushant par Rhea ka kaala jaadu” (Rhea’s black magic on Sushant) and “Rhea ke jhooth par kya kehta hai India?” (What does India have to say about Rhea’s lies?) The first code of conduct was broken soon after graphic details about his alleged suicide were discussed like dinner-table gossip.

Dr Soumitra Pathare, the director of the Centre for Mental Health Law and Policy at the Indian Law Society, said, “Media needs to improve its reporting of suicides and attempted suicides in India. We have seen that the media fails to adhere to both the international guidelines for suicide reporting (WHO guidelines) as well as national guidelines from the Press Council of India. Research has shown that responsible media reporting of suicides can reduce suicides by 1-2%. That would mean a saving 2,500-5,000 lives each year.The media needs to use the opportunity to raise awareness about suicide prevention, rather than focus on sensationalising suicide deaths.”

While the Mumbai police was investigating the actor’s death, TV channels were busy running parallel investigations in newsrooms. From reading his personal diary to calling a ‘paranormal expert’ who spoke with his spirit, every week a new narrative was served fresh to equally hungry audiences. First, they vilified the “Bollywood mafia” for plotting against him, then they added an underworld connection to it. But it got worse once the case was transferred to the CBI, the moment which republic TV anchor Arnab Goswami famously referred to as “an incredible moment in our country’s history”. On the same day, the Supreme Court had rejected the plea of students to postpone JEE and NEET exams, saying that “life has to go on”.

From sexist to origin-based slurs, Rhea was subjected to widespread social media hate campaign fuelled by these media channels. They have a tendency to use question marks to rid themselves of making verified claims. For example, saying “Sushant ko Rhea ke jeher ne mara?” or “Riya ne Sushant par kia jaadu tona?” is like saying: “Have the media channels sold their soul to gain more TRPs?” I’m totally not suggesting they have.

More than a decade ago, SMSs did the same job. While the investigation of the Aarushi-Hemraj double murder case was on, media channels were busy asking viewers to send SMSs guessing who the murderer was.

Chakraborty has filed a case with the apex court, saying the ‘media trial’ was attempting to pronounce her guilty of Sushant’s death.“Can freedom of press be allowed to degenerate into a license to malign the character of a dead person? Does our Constitution not guarantee the right to privacy even to the dead?” these were some questiones posed by advocate Surat Singh in 2008 while seeking a restraint on the media while the Talwar investigation was on.The media hasn’t learned any lessons and is showing once again how deaths must not be reported. The real question for any responsible media outlet would be to ask how did news anchors get access to confidential call records, bank statements, WhatsApp messages and post-mortem reports.

Media channels and outlets need to focus more on the actual aspects of the case and other incidents which are equally and maybe far more important to make it to the headlines than dramatise a suicide case disrespecting the deceased and the alive.

It’s high time media outlets need to be more rational and ethical while reporting instead of diverting the limelight in the name of ‘nations emotions are related to this’.

Common pitfalls to avoid in digital business

Starting an online business requires some planning. An entrepreneur needs to gauge demand, understand how SEO and digital ads work and know how to acquire customers cost-efficiently. If the formula works, the business can scale rapidly.

Online spending has skyrocketed in recent years, and continued growth is likely as people continue to stay home which creates huge opportunities for internet stores.

Thus, a small business can potentially reach a massive audience. However there are pitfalls to avoid. Keep scrolling down to know about those pitfalls you should avoid.

Not understanding your target customer: You burn plenty of cash running ineffectively ads. Bad marketing campaigns increase the cost of acquiring a customer, which is crucial metric for a digital venture. You need to truly understand the target audience in order to optimize ads. That means being effective with location, interests, design, calls to action and other factors increase conversions and lower customer-acquisition costs. Shopping on the web has also increased demand for online services like SEO, website building, graphic design and advertising. By knowing who will buy and who cannot, you can optimize a website’s content based on niche, putting you in better position to create the appropriate landing pages, newsletters, social posts to attract relevant traffic. When you publish better content, you will improve inbound marketing metrics, as well as increase user engagement. Online has no geographical boundaries therefore it helps to create a digital persona of who you are targeting. You may be able to find profiling tools on social platforms that helps to create target profiles.Working as a lone wolf: It helps greatly to already possess knowledge of online practices like SEO, ads, e-commerce, email campaigns and social media best practices, but there can be frustrating blind spots. You may be good at running Facebook ads but flounder at writing landing pages. Or you may have high open rates on email campaigns but suffer low purchase conversions. A seasoned veteran can quickly teach entrepreneurs what works and what does not saving them headaches, time and money. It is a good idea to attend conferences, meet-ups and networking events to exchange contact info with gurus. Leveragiging other people’s expertise boosts the efficacy of campaigns. When setting up an e-commerce venture, small tweaks can pay big dividends.Not using automation tools: Outsourcing enables business owners to cost-effectively tap the skills of independent contractors, streamlining the business because they are better at specific task than you are. Virtual assistants free up time so you can focus on acquiring customers and providing after-purchase support. Use a tool that is saving business owners time which works as automation tools, acts as outsourced call centre for retail customers to get support from virtual agents in even complex conversions. Nevertheless, it is an affordable option for business owners who cannot quite afford full-time customer support agents at their current growth stage.

It is extremely important that business owners spend their limited time on activities that are crucial for success. Non-essential tasks should be delegated to others.

An online business can reach global audience and scale rapidly. Know your target audience, network with experts in a similar niche and build a team infrastructure that can scale your venture.

Assassination of Abraham Lincoln

“When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That’s my religion.”

Abraham Lincoln, USA

At all of our times of crisis we’ve needed leaders who were just a little better. We have all fantasied leaders who can rise up to the occasion and probably give us some big speech , make you feel invincible (i am not reffering to Optimus Prime). But to your surprises Abraham Lincoln was one such man.

Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809 and was an American statesman and a Lawyer who served as the 16th President of United States of America. Lincoln was not only an ordinary politician but an accomplished warrior and a great anti-slavery orator. Lincoln is considered to be the greatest president ever. He accomplished great feats using his will and wisdom. He deployed the forces of swords and words together to win not only over wars but also over the hearts of true Americans.He became the president at the worst moment of American history- the American Civil war. Fought between the northern states who supported the union and the southern states who seceded from the union and formed the short lasted Confederates.

There was no great speculation during the election of Lincoln. But after Lincoln became Commander in Chief , his acts during the war was great in which He used the navy and the military very wisely, which gained him popularity among the soldiers. Above all he was not only determined in abolishing slavery but also in providing full franchise of right to vote and to participate for African Americans. Around early April 1865 the civil war was over and He had passed the “Emancipation proclamation” that abolished slavery and paved way for uprising of the Blacks. The Confederate generals surrendered and the war was won. Jubilant Lincoln gave a public speech which made everyone rejoice.

The prospect of Black voting was too much to bear for a man who was a fanatic of southern cause. John Wilkes Booth was born into a slave-holding family and grew up to become a great stage actor. He was a white supremacist and was not happy to see his causes crumbling before his eyes. And hence a group of conspirators arised and planned to assassinate three prominent figures of the union. Lincoln’s assassination was planned to happen on April 14 1865 when Lincoln was visiting the play-“Our American Cousin” at the Ford’s theater, Washington.

10 minutes to 10 pm, Booth started mounting the staircase the led to the tier 2 box where the President was seated. He walked past all the guards without any problem because he was a well known personality at that time.And at 10.15 pm he shot Lincoln 3 inches from his head. He jumped to the center of the theater and hailed “Sic Semper Tyrannis” meaning ‘Ever thus to tyrants’ and he said that the south was avenged. Lincoln died the following day and Booth was killed after 12 days of manhunt. The other killings did not happen because some of the conspirators were caught and hanged while others lost their nerves and surrendered

The surprisingly confusing part of Lincoln’s Death is that a few days before his assassination , it is said that Lincoln had a bizarre dream. In that dream he walked down the stairs and at the East room was a coffin surrounded by sobbing mourners. He asked “Who is that who lies dead in the white House?“. A man answered “Its the President.He was shot dead

PURI – The city of temples & beaches.

Located along the pristine coastline of the Bay of Bengal the city houses numerous pilgrimage sites & beaches. Buzzing with devotees who come here to pay obeisance to the deity. The city is widely famous for hosting celebrations larger-than-life. 

1] Tourist attractions

      The city can be mainly bifurcated into two parts based on the grounds of interests of tourists – temples & beaches. So, following is a list of places & must do’s :

  •  Jagganath Temple

  Being one of the Char Dham pilgrimages one is expected to pay a visit at least once in a lifetime to gain merit. This coastal town of Puri enshrined Lord Jagganath, Lord Balabhadra & Goddess Subhadra in this colossal temple. The temple is famous for its annual chariot festival – Rath Yatra. 

  • Sun Temple

  A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the precision & intricacy of architecture is worth gazing at hours at. It remarkably proves the sheer brilliance of architects of that era. The temple is designed in the silhouette of a gigantic chariot along with 7 horses & 24 wheels. It was conceived as a chariot of the Sun God. Spread across a sprawling area it also a beautiful garden. 

  • Puri Beach

What Anxiety Feels and Looks Like?

There is no way I am going to pass this paper. I don’t even wanna show up. I was so uncomfortable about that party. It was difficult for me to inhale and I got all sweaty. I had to leave. I won’t go to sleep or leave the house unless I have made sure that the stove is off and the doors are locked. Sometimes I do this three or four times. I have to get to the airport six hours early. You just never know what might happen

These are the voices of people who have experienced anxiety.


Anxiety and Fear is a common reaction to present or live events, like taking a final exam or speaking in front of a crowd. But when it becomes really uncomfortable and makes day to day life hard to live, then it’s a problem, or even what we call disorder. Some people have lived with anxiety for a long time. For them, their own anxiety feels like it’s about everything. They worry about so many things in so many ways. And it impacts their life for a long time. They stress about things that are about to happen or might happen, it means they can’t really focus or where they are or whom they are with. Sometimes it results in pounding of the heart, they speak really fast, and can kinda snap at people. Their family could get really frustrated with them. When it’s really bad, they experience having a knot in their stomach all the time. They can even feel depressed and just want to be alone. They feel like if they do something, they will screw it up or something will go wrong. So, a lot of times those people would just rather avoid it all. They feel much better just staying at home and maybe having a drink. Commute out anxiety is a very common mental health symptom. It can be the main sign for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), which they have, or Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD), which is when people have a fear of being in public or meeting new people. For those of us with social and Generalized Anxiety Disorder, it’s really difficult to live in the way we want to live. Some people have anxiety about really specific things, are afraid of heights, snakes, spiders or something else. Now, these are called Phobias and when people avoid these things, the anxiety mostly stays away. But when people can’t avoid their phobias, that’s a real problem. Some people experience anxiety and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), which can make people really overcome with anxiety. In these conditions, anxiety can be so intense, that people are at the risk of suicide and they use alcohol and drugs to cope. Sometimes their lives feel like they have come to a halt. Some people are lucky ones, they reach out to doctors without considering it a taboo who tells them how to get the treatment that would help them. And it does, they understand now what their anxiety feels like, why it happens, what they can do about it. They got to learn some great coping skills. And just naming it helps them keep it in perspective. Sometimes their anxiety can still get pretty big, but it doesn’t seem to last quite as long as it used to. The anxiety is treatable. For most people, this is true. We can get our life back to where we want it to be.
It’s OK, everyone suffers from anxiety, without having worries, life can be too boring.

Why are students from International Boards being welcomed by Indian Universities

The world is facing a learning crisis. While countries have significantly increased access to education, being in school isn’t the same. Crisis will affect generations of students without action to boost teaching. Global learning crisis is costing $129 billion a year 10% of global spending on primary education is being lost on poor quality education that is falling to ensure that students learn. This situation leaves one in for young people in poor countries unable to read a single sentence. International students applying to foreign universities have hit a wall due to this global crisis. The dilemma to continuing with their education in India on waiting for universities abroad is faced by many students who are studying in international board. Many studies explored the challenges and hurdles experienced by international students attending institutions of higher education abroad.

Universities and college campuses are places where students live and study in close proximity to each other. They are also a buzzing cultural hubs where students are brought together from Nations around the world. Recently, the foundations of this unique ecosystem have been impacted significantly by the rapid spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, creating uncertainty regarding the implications for higher education.

One of the biggest concerns for the sector at large is the percentage of international students that make up the domestic higher education markets. This pandemic has resulted in an economic slump globally and parents are becoming conscious of the cost of sending the children abroad. As a result, international school students who would have ideally chosen to apply to universities abroad are now evaluating higher education prospects in their home country.

The question we often ask parents is : if their ward is planning to apply to an Indian university, should they opt for a school that offers curriculum from international boards, or stick to conventional Indian boards.

It is believed that it is highly advisable for parents to enroll their child in an international board as the curriculum is global and the skills amasses will ensure that every student becomes an active learner for life. These programs are brilliantly designed to help students become adaptable, thereby helping students to perform with ease in the Indian education system as well as Internationally.

It is important to understand that a rigorous curriculum ensures that students are challenged effectively to think critically and creatively. These skills along with many others these programmes inculcate, are learning for a lifetime. They are also highly sought after by universities and employers both abroad and within India.

International board follows application based teaching – It is also important at this stage to understand that while many curricula focus on teacher-led methodology, the international curriculum is more about an involved facilitation process, in order to allow the student to develop essential independent thinking skills.

Cambridge international AS and A Level is an in-depth program which helps students develop many core higher-order thinking skills that universities are looking for, such as analysis, evaluation, and synthesis. The program also focuses on building research, innovation, reflection, and communication skills in each student. These I believe are essential for the 21st-century learning and a global citizen.

Students adapting to international curriculum – Let us focus on India for the moment. Many parents were often worried if the process of transferring a child from an international curriculum to our national one is easy. Let me reassure you here that there is a smooth progression for the learners who choose to study at universities in India. These learners from international boards acquire knowledge, skills, and adaptability that enable them to enter, or re-enter the Indian education system, without difficulty as they are well prepared for independent study. All reputed indian universities accept and value international qualifications.
The subject knowledge along with the critical thinking and reasoning skills that the Cambridge International AS and A Level programme grants its students is unparalleled. And this has been of immense help to our students who have moved on to various Indian and international universities to study science, technology, law, design, medicine, management, finance, history, math, psychology, literature, research etc.

The international outcomes allow them to apply to all universities including esteemed organisations such as All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Indian Institute of Technology, National Institute of Design etc.

Many students from Podar International School have over the years successfully found placements in renowned universities. I strongly believe that the skills and knowledge that they amass during their years of international education are significant contributors to them being successful in the field of their choice.

The Politics over JEE and NEET

The world today is facing a Pandemic, as WHO likes to call it and this is a situation that nobody had foreseen and many developed countries saw the crippling of their systems,countries with finest medical infrastructure saw the falling of the system like a house of cards.

In such a situation worse was imagined for a developing country like India and these fears turned out to be partially correct,by using the phrase “partially correct ” I refer to the fact that while cases are on the rise and the curve isn’t seen to flatten itself in the near future and there has been excessive burden on the medical stuff,we should also acknowledge the fact that the country has successfully managed to curb the mortality rate and after months of lockdown things are starting to get back on track and people have started to live more precautionary than before.

Now,initially there was very little information available on COVID and the precautions that can help us to fight against this virus and hence it was difficult or rather next to impossible to fight against an enemy with no known weakness but gradually there was widespread awareness and people evolved to survive!,and hence the examinations that were initially postponed were finally given a date this was particularly important because the entire academic year for college students could not be halted…its only after the JEE and NEET that popular government universities release their cut offs so it wasn’t just the medical and engineering aspirants but also the huge mass of students aspiring to study from universities like the Delhi University also the fact that private universities that are often considered as back up plans of an individual were already demanding payments of fees in order to secure a seat out there…as the exams are now being conducted it would prove beneficial to the students who were well prepared and hence will crack the examination and this would also start the academic session for the freshman year. If the exams were postponed again that would probably be next year!,we know it’ll take time for corona to stop hitting the headlines right?…so that would mean that double the number of students for limited number of seats, you can imagine the u underlying stress over the young minds.

The opposition tried to approach the Supreme Court again and supporting them were the Chief Ministers of various parties but at the same time they wanted the examination for government jobs to be conducted immediately.That is as strange as it sounds but its politics after all.The exams will be conducted and should be conducted but with utmost care and precautions because it’s the youth that will hold the pillars of the modern India and they cannot just be played with.

The first woman : Lilith.

We all are well known with the tale of Adam and Eve. The first man and woman, however a very less among us are aware of the belief that Eve wasn’t the first woman. It was someone else. According to legend, Lilith was Adam’s first wife. Exiled from Eden for her refusal to submit to him, she was known for centuries as a baby-snatching demon. But contemporary feminists and religious scholars insist there’s more to the story.

Lilith has a curious and complicated history, even as spiritual beings go. If you search her name today, you’ll come up with hundreds of images of scantily clad demon women. She’s been a subject of debate for centuries, and of appreciation and homage in recent years.

The Tale relates that God created Lilith from the earth, just as he had created Adam.
When the first man, Adam, saw that he was alone, God made for him a woman like himself, from the earth.God called her name Lilith, and brought her to Adam. They immediately began to quarrel. Adam said: “You lie beneath me.” And Lilith said: “You lie beneath me! We are both equal, for both of us are from the earth.” And they would not listen to one another. As soon as Lilith saw this, she uttered the Divine name and flew up into the air and fled. So, God sent three angels to bring Lilith back, but Lilith didn’t return.

The Lilith of this story confronts both Adam and God: she defies patriarchy, refuses a submissive status,and in the end refuses marriage altogether, preferring to become a demon rather than live under Adam’s authority.
Some believe that Lilith was a demon who used to steal children’s souls at night, which she does out of envy for not being able to birth her own child. All she could birth according to history, are were demons.

However in the modern period, the tale of the put-upon wife who flees to a place of liberation became a celebrated paradigm. Numerous modern Jewish poets and authors, female and male, wrote accounts of Lilith that use old stories to express new ideas. Modern feminists celebrate her bold struggle for independence from Adam. Her name appears as the title of a Jewish women’s magazine and a national literacy program. An annual music festival that donates its profits to battered women’s shelters and breast cancer research institutes is called the Lilith Fair.

In 1976, Lilith Magazine was launched, proudly billing itself as “Independent, Jewish & Frankly Feminist”. In its first issue, Jewish feminist and activist Aviva Cantor Zuckoff wrote an op-ed explaining why a modern magazine would name itself after an ancient demon. “Lilith is a powerful female… By acknowledging Lilith’s revolt and even in telling of her vengeful activities, myth-makers also acknowledge Lilith’s power,” she said. “Even if we accept Lilith’s vengeful activities… we can regard them as having originated in self-defense against male domination and as a consequence of having to fight on alone, century after century, for her independence.

If the first male had only agreed to serve under the first female half of the time (that is all she asked of him) Lilith would have been Eve and the history would have been completely different than what it actually is.
