When we do vigorous activity , viz., participate in long distance races , or play football , hockey , etc., after some time we feel a sense of discomfort . We feel some problem while inhaling . We feel like stopping the activity immediately . But , if we make up our mind to continue that activity then we feel relaxed and comforted . We do not face any problem while intialing . This stage is termed as Second Wind . Discomfort , which we face in the beginning , includes the following symptoms .
Breathlessness
Pain in chest
Headache
Pain in the muscles , which are involved in that activity
Feeling of reduced physical coordination
Diminished neuro- muscular coordination
Feeling of dry throat
But , in spite of these symptoms of discomfort , we should continue the activity . Automatically , after sometime , discomfort will be no longer these . So the phenomenon of recovery from discomfort at early stage is known as second wind . All the symptoms are eliminated automatically . The stage of second wind comes to the beginners but the experienced athletes generally do not feel it . If they feel it , they feel it at low level . Second wind also depends upon the climatic conditions . It has been observed that in cold climate , athletes do not face this stage . It is only faced if activity is too much vigorous .
Changes in Our Body Due to Second Wind
During the stage of second wind some changes in our body occur which are stated below .
Breathlessness Disappears : Breathlessness disappears after second wind . Rate of respiration become less . Supply of oxygen becomes normal . The accumulation of CO2 also become normal .
Muscles become Normal : After the feeling of second wind , muscles become normal . There is no pain in the muscles . The swelling of muscles begins to diminish . The temperature of muscles increases .
Change in Blood Circulation System : In the stage of second wind , the waste products like lactic acid , acid phosphate , uric acid , etc., accu

“India was the motherland of our race, and Sanskrit the mother of Europe’s languages: she was the mother of our philosophy; mother, through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics; mother, through the Buddha, of the ideals embodied in Christianity; mother, through the village community, of self-government and democracy. Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all.”
Will Durant, American historian
And now you want to know why I am being so dramatic over such things . Well , if you want to know than start reading the editorial .
Introduction
Indians say it is important to respect all religions, but major religious groups see little in common and want to live separately
More than 70 years after India became free from colonial rule, Indians generally feel their country has lived up to one of its post-independence ideals: a society where followers of many religions can live and practice freely.
Religion has historically influenced Indian society on a political, cultural and economic level. There is a sense of pride associated with the country’s rich religious history as the traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism all emerged out of India. Moreover, while a majority of people in India identify as Hindu (79.8%), the medley of religions that exist within the country continually impact contemporary society.
Census
The 2011 Indian census indicated that 79.8% of Indians identified as Hindu, 14.2% identified as Muslim and 2.3% identified as Christian. A further 1.7% of the population identified as Sikh, 0.7% identified as Buddhist and 0.37% identified as Jain. Due to the massive population size of India, religious minorities still represent a significant number of people. For example, although only 0.37% of India may identify with Jainism, that still equates to over 4 million people. While not all religions in India can be discussed in detail, the following provides an overview of the major religions in the country as well as sizable religions that originated in India.
Social beliefs
“India has two million gods and worships them all. In religion all other countries are paupers; India is the only millionaire.”
Mark Twain
Karma, Acceptance and Personal Choice . Many Indians tend to have a sense of acceptance towards one’s life position or a belief that, due to actions in one’s past life, good or bad personal circumstances are deserved. This attitude partly stems from religious ideas such as ‘karma’ (the idea that one’s actions will affect their current or future life) and ‘samsara’ (the cycle of rebirth).
The interplay of these social, cultural and religious factors allows people to be accepting of life events and trajectories. However, this is not to be interpreted as Indians being unwilling to take responsibility for life circumstances. Many often contemplate how their actions may impact their future and make decisions accordingly. Some of India’s youth are challenging a fatalistic perspective by asserting their free will to choose their vocation, spouse and other life factors. Indeed, as social mobility becomes more common, there is a growing belief that one can change their circumstances.
It’s Role
Religion plays a major role in the Indian way of life. Rituals, worship, and other religious activities are very prominent in an individual’s daily life; it is also a principal organizer of social life. The degree of religiosity varies amongst individuals; in recent decades, religious orthodoxy and observances have become less common in Indian society, particularly amongst young urban-dwellers. As of the politics , they play with religion , people’s belief and with their trust .
“Depression (major depressive disorder) is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act.”
To many, the term depression is either a light-hearted substitute for sadness or simply a taboo. To most, admitting one has depression is asking to be put in a mental house. To the ones that are affected, depression creates perpetual sadness which might even become the cause of their death. Depression has taken over the lives of many, though most fail to reveal this. Signs of depression include extreme lack of social interaction, significant weight loss, extreme cases of Insomnia, self-harm, uncontrolled emotions, recurrent suicidal thoughts, etc. It is believed that the present social atmosphere is a huge factor as it often termed as ‘the plague of the 21st century’.
Scientifically, depression can be mapped with the change of various neurons and bio-chemical substances that are released in our system, namely: Serotonin, Dopamine and Norepinephrine. Any imbalance in their level can affect our emotions adversely. Stress and tension can also contribute a lot to this. At times, they can also be hereditary or genetic. Other factors for depression includes, Abuse, serious illness, conflicts, loss, substance abuse, etc.
It is often very hard to implement change in a society, to make people believe that their previous beliefs are not entirely right and are to be changed. To do so, a great power of influence is required. Such power can be obtained through media. To quote Malcolm X “Media is the most powerful entity on earth… Because they control the minds of the masses.” So how can this power be put to good use?
The current mainstream media has taken an initiative in bringing about awareness in the society. Various movies, book and television series have portrayed the intensity of growing depression among youth. For instance; ‘Thirteen Reasons Why’ is a book by Jay Asher that revolves around the reasons why Hannah Baker (A teenager) committed suicide. It emphasizes on how people turned a blind eye to her silent pleas and how that ultimately cost an innocent life. This book was later turned into a hit Netflix series that gained a lot of attention upon its release. Not only was it critically acclaimed, it also helped in giving courage to youngsters around the world to speak up.
Movies such as Anomalisa, World’s greatest dad, cake, Sylvia, Little Miss Sunshine, and various other movies have cast light upon depression and the different forms that it manifests in to different human beings. The Indian film industry also features movies that focus on these issues.
YouTube, being one of the most powerful social media platform has not failed short of showing its side of depression. Famous YouTubers like Kiera Rose, Daniel Howell, Jacksgap, Savannah Brown, John Green, Connor Franta and Lilly Singh etc have shared their personal struggle against depression and social anxiety. They have taken the liberty of portraying the raw side of depression that are often wrongly romanticized in the mainstream media. Lily Singh, a YouTuber turned Business Woman has written down her journey of starting out a video to make others laugh (despite fighting off depression herself) in her book ‘How to be a Bawse’. YouTube also carries various channels that are created just for the purpose of sharing experiences on various form of depression.
Internet also offers other platforms like blogs, websites and social media networking sites that allows healthy interactions and provides information centres. Online therapy sessions and websites have been created to support forums where the affected can reach out. Various celebrities have taken action in ensuring the lifeline supports through social media. For instance, ‘The Live Love Laugh Foundation’ is a mental health initiative taken up by the famous Bollywood actress, Deepika Padukone that illustrates the symptoms and form of depression to create awareness among the Indian youth.
Mental health is a very serious issue that must be tended to at the right time. The world cannot afford to lose another Chester Bennington or another Avicii. Depression is real and it is about time we removed the stigma against it. Spread the word, tame the taboo and lend a helping hand to anyone who is hurting.
We live in a society where our everyday behaviours, thoughts and emotions are shaped by the patriarchal notions, that prevails in the structure of the society. A woman at every stage of her life, in fact even before her birth, was being subjected to the evils of the male-dominated society. Patriarchy is unique, as this oppression is prevalent globally but still many of its aspects are undermined by the society or remain hidden in the structure such that it was noticed by none, even man of the women who are subjected to it fails to notice. In Indian society, in particular, the patriarchal norms and values are also a result of caste and religious inequalities that haunts the society. The most familiar example is the restriction of women entry into Sabarimala Temple in Kerala.
Normalisation of Patriarchy
The transmission of patriarchal values and ideas from one generation to another occurs in the socialisation process. Socialisation is the process of internalising the norms and ideologies of society. During and at the end of the process, the individuals, be it men or women adjusts to the group or the society from which they socialised, and learns to behave in a manner as approved by the society. This socialisation process forms the basis for the normalisation of patriarchy in society. So, any attempt for a social change that is sustainable and egalitarian, should start from the socialisation process.
Primary and Secondary Socialisation
Socialisation occurs at two levels – primary and secondary.
In primary socialization, a child accepts and learns a set of norms, values, attitudes. For example, if a child sees his or her mother expressing hatred towards anybody, the child may think this behaviour is acceptable and could continue to practice hatred towards others.
In secondary socialization, the child learns what is the appropriate behaviour as a member of a smaller group in a larger society. Secondary socialization takes place outside the home. The children and adults learn how to act in an appropriate way in a situation. Schools require very different behaviour from the home, and children must act according to new rules.
The Chain of Transmission
So, the social institutions involving in the process of socialisation- both primary and secondary-should undergo a radical change from the present, in their approaches of socialising the new generation. Socialisation by any of these institutions is influenced by the patriarchal values of the society. Identifying the patriarchal values and norms in these institutions and replacing them with egalitarian value will break the transmission chain that helps in carry patriarchy across generations.
Let us see with some examples,
The key social institution in the primary socialisation process is the Family. The behaviour of the parents has a great influence on the child. In Indian society, there is a notion that males are breadwinners and women are homemakers, which itself is a result of the patriarchal norms. So, any child witnessing his/her father going to job and mother doing. Thus, the occupational segregation that we see in the labour market has its root in the Family. During this, the child ability to think critically about such a notion is not developed. Hence the child accepts this uncritically. This is a vicious cycle – the socialisation process leads to an unequal labour market, the unequal labour market again has its worst effects on the socialisation process.
Even the toys are given to the girls and boys during their childhood also has their effects. Often the boy child was given a bike or car toy, whereas the girl child was given a barbie doll-like toys. Over time this will give a superiority notion to the boy child, against the other gender as possessing a bike or car was often seen in terms of the status of a family in our society and is often associated with boys.
Schools are important secondary social institutions. The present arrangement in schools and colleges is such that the patriarchal notions went unnoticed and hence normalised. Even women who are subjected to this, often accept this as a legible one. Let us look at this with a simple example
Even today many school books of lower classes contain a picture of a family where the father was depicted as going to a job and the mother was doing household chores. Here comes the coincidence of the primary and secondary socialisation. As mentioned above a child sees the same kind of situation as in the book, in his/her home. This makes the child believes that this is how society operates.
But a big relief is that there are men and women who, over the years become aware of this pattern of socialisation and absolves themselves from the clutches of the patriarchal norms of the society and are being gender-neutral.
Breaking the chain
Redefining the socialisation process will be the solution.
Primary Socialisation: Make your child believe that the world is for everyone through your actions. A working male in a household, cooking for some time with his wife or helping her in her work will make a great difference to the child. This develops a sense in the child that no job is restricted to no one and no one is restricted from doing any job.
Secondary Socialisation: Making the words and pictures in the school books of lower classes gender-neutral, helps a lot. Say a picture of a family can be shown as a father and mother doing household chores together. This will make the child thinks that why the family shown in the book and his/her own family was totally different (in the case of a household where the father goes to job and mother do household chores).
The selection process in any kinds of posts in schools or colleges should not be based on gender. This makes every student (boy/girl/another gender) work together under the leadership of another student (boy/girl/another gender).
Thus, a permanent social change is in the hands of future generations.
I am not sure whether the youths and students are the future of India. But every youth will be a parent in the future. So, the responsibility of these youths/parents should be to make their child, being men or women, not to act as men or women.
MH-60R, the world’s most advanced maritime helicopter was inducted to Indian navy by the US navy today. This is yet another sign of strengthening India-US defence relationship.
The ceremony procuring the first two MH-60R multi role helicopters was held at the Naval Air Station North Island or NAS North Island, San Diego on Friday. It was attended by India’s ambassador to the US Taranjit Singh Sandhu.
The Indian navy is procuring 24 helicopters in total for $2.4 billion. Ambassador Sandhu noted in his tweet that the trade has expanded to over 20 billion dollars in the past couple of years. “India US friendship is touching skies”, he tweeted.
There are over 300 Seahawks in service worldwide including US, Danish, Australian and Saudi Arabian navies. It was introduced in US navy in 2006. The procurement of 24 Seahawks was cleared by the fence ministry on August 25, 2018.
Features
Skirosky Aircraft developed the MH-60R Seahawk multi-mission helicopter also known as “Romeo”, inorder to replace the US Navy’s SR-60 & SH-60 helicopter fleet.
The MH-60R features a spacious cabin to fit 4 flight crew and five passengers. Dimensions of cabin are 3.2m long, 1.3 m high and 1.8 m wide. The helicopter is equipped with digital open architecture, night vision, mass memory data storage, flight management computer and operations software.
The helicopter can be armed with Mk 54 lightweight torepodoes for ASW missions. A number of weapons can be carried including eight Hellfire antisurface missiles and .50 calibre guns for ASuW missions.
The MH-60R is tolerant against small arms fore and medium calibre high-explosive projectiles. The energy absorbing landing gear offers increased survivability in the battlefield.
The 24 procured helicopters would be modified with several India-unique equipment and weapons.
“The induction of these helicopters would enhance the Indian Navy’s three dimensional capabilities…. Inorder to exploit these porent helicopters the first batch of Indian crew is presently undergoing training in the US” said the spokesperson
The Indian law prior to the Nirbhaya Incident took into account only acts of penile-vaginal intercourse within the definition of rape and forcible acts of penetration of vagina, mouth, urethra or anus through penis or an inanimate object did not fall within the definition of rape. Many rapists were not prosecuted because there was no law to punish such acts. In 2013, the definition was expanded to consider rape as any acts like penetration by penis, or any other object or any part of body to any extent, into the vagina, mouth, urethra or anus of a woman or making her to do so with another person or applying of mouth to sexual organs without the consent or will of the woman constitutes the offence of rape.
Section 53A of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Indian law lays down certain provisions for medical examination of the accused. Section 164A of the Code of Criminal Procedure deals with the medical examination of the victim.
The revised statutes of 2013 Indian law, in section 376A, mandates minimum punishment in certain cases. For instance, if the sexual assault inflicts an injury which causes death or causes the victim to be in a persistent vegetative state, then the convicted rapist must be sentenced to rigorous imprisonment of at least twenty years and up to the remainder of the natural life or with a death penalty. As well, in May 2013, the Supreme Court of India held that the two-finger test on a rape victim violates her right to privacy, and asked the Delhi government to provide better medical procedures to confirm sexual assault.
The Indian Penal Code, Section 377, is the only section that criminalizes all acts of non-consensual carnal intercourse, ncluding male-on-male rape. This section penalizes both consensual and forced sodomywith 10 years minimum to life imprisonment. The Delhi HC stated that Section 377 of Indian Penal Code will continue to govern non-consensual penile, non-vaginal sex and penile non-vaginal sex involving minors. The section can be evoked to punish sodomites, pedophiles and zoophiles.
The rape definition in Section 375 of Indian Penal Code does not include rape in which males are the victims. The Indian government in 2012 decided to change the definition of “rape” as forcible penetration to include male victims, but was criticized on the grounds that this would further harm the interests of female rape victims.
Prevention of Rape:-
On the Street
Travel in well-lit, well-travelled areas.
If possible, walk in pairs.
Walk facing traffic.
Plan your route ahead of time.
Walk assertively and maintain a sharp awareness of your surroundings.
If you sense you are being followed, immediately cross to the opposite side of the street and head for the nearest open business or occupied dwelling.
In a Social Situation
When first meeting a new friend, exchange phone numbers, not addresses.
Keep someone apprised of your whereabouts when dating a man for the first time.
It is a good idea to refrain from going to bars and clubs alone. However, should you choose to do so, have your own transportation available, and use it.
Don’t allow alcohol or drugs to cloud your common sense.
If a man persists in asking for your phone number, and you feel it would cause a problem should you refuse, or give him a fake number.
Know what your personal social standards are and stick to them. Don’t allow your judgment to be overruled by an aggressive pursuer.
Passive Self Defense
Talking your way out of a situation.
Telling the rapist you’re pregnant, menstruating, or afflicted with a communicable disease can be an effective ploy.
Faking submission and waiting for an appropriate opportunity to make an escape.
Active Self Defense
If you choose to fight, fight effectively. A half-hearted attempt at resistance could be worse than no resistance at all.
Before initiating a physical defense, you should be aware of your capabilities – both physical and mental. If you cannot imagine yourself exerting whatever force necessary to ward off an attacker, then perhaps a more passive approach is more viable for you.
Have some idea of what you intend to do should you be attacked. If you have given prior thought to the matter, you will be better prepared to avoid debilitating panic.
Self-defense classes aimed at teaching everyday defensive maneuvers can help build confidence.
Don’t underestimate the power of your voice as an effective defensive tool. If you feel your voice may fail you when you need it most, practice screaming.
Almost of all major tests used to measure intelligence have been constructed so that there are no overall score differences between males and females.But there is little difference between the average IQ scores of men and women.Early studies show that male brains are 8 to 13 percent larger in volume than female brains,however this has been since attributed to difference in body size.Women have greater cortical thickness, and cortical surface area(controlling for body size) which leads to smaller brain size.
According to a research, it is found that women had greater blood flow in the prefrontal cortex(is a part of the brain which includes complex behaviour, including planning,and greatly contributes to personality development) compared to men, which might help them to be stronger in the aspects of life.This shows that girls are stronger in empathy, collaboration, self control, and showing appropriate concern.
COBOL may be a Common Business minded Language. it’s a high-level artificial language. because the dilated word form suggests, programming language is meant for developing business, generally file-oriented applications.
COBOL is employed by the North American nation Department of Defense, in a very conference, fashioned CODASYL (Conference on knowledge Systems Language) to develop a language. programming language is employed for writing application programs, and that we cannot use it to jot down system software system. this implies you’d not develop AN software or a compiler exploitation programming language. How programming language Works We should perceive the approach programming language works. Computers solely recognize machine language, a binary stream of 0s and 1s. The code of programming language should be reborn into machine language employing a compiler. Run the program supply through the compiler. The compiler 1st of all checks for any syntax errors so converts it into machine language. Then the compiler creates AN computer file, that is thought as a load module. This computer file contains feasible code within the style of 1s and 0s.
History of programming language COBOL language was one in all the earliest high-level programming languages. throughout the Nineteen Fifties, once the companies were rising within the western a part of the planet, there was a necessity to change numerous processes for simple operation, and this gave birth to a high-level artificial language destined for business processing. In 1959, the programming language language was developed by Conference on knowledge Systems Languages (CODASYL). The government printing workplace written the programming language specification as COBOL60 in 1960. COBOL-61, that is that the next version of programming language, was free in 1961 with some revisions. In 1968, programming language was approved by ANSI (American National Standards Institute) as a customary language for industrial use. A version named COBOL-68. It was once more revised in 1974 and 1985 to develop later versions that contain an extra set of options named COBOL-74 and COBOL-85, severally. And finally, in 2002, object-oriented programming language was free, that might use encapsulated objects as a standard a part of programming language programming. Features of programming language Standard Language
COBOL may be a commonplace language that may be compiled and dead on systems like IBM AS/400, personal computers, etc. Business minded
COBOL is developed for business-oriented applications associated with defense domain, monetary domain, etc.
Structured Language
Logical management structures ar offered in programming language, that makes it easier to browse and modify. programming language provides totally different divisions, thus it’s straightforward to right.
Robust Language COBOL may be a strong language as its varied testing, and debugging tools ar on the market for nearly all pc platforms.
Simple Language
COBOL may be a straightforward language. No user-defined functions, no user-defined sorts, no pointers, and a restricted scope of operate.
Self-documenting One of the main style goals for programming language was to form it doable for non-programmers like managers, supervisors, and users to browse and perceive programming language code.
Advantages of programming language COBOL is that the 1st usually used high-level artificial language. It will handle immense processing. It is used as a documenting language. The resolution of bugs is simpler as a result of it’s an efficient error message. It is compatible with its past versions.
India’s first pod taxi to run between Noida Intil airport & film city. Pod Taxi can accommodate 4 to 6 passengers per car. Pod taxis have been a popular mode of commute in several western countries and can accommodate four to six passengers per car. With this project , India is also set to experiment with this mode of commute. It will start running on the track as soon as flights starts from Noida airport. Keeping in view the metro connectivity between film city to Noida Airport rail and Ropeway corporation limited has submitted the final DPR to Yamuna Authority on June 13th 2021 for driverless pod taxi which will run 14km from Noida to film city with stoppage at sector 21, 28, 29, 32, & 33 Dr. Arunveer Singh , CEO of Yida said that this DPR will now placed before the YEIDA board, after getting approval from there it will be sent to the government . Work in this direction will go ahead after getting approval from government. The distance is about 5.5 km to increase the utility, it has been suggested in the DPR to track in the sectors of YEIDA also. To run this pod taxi in the country , the state government will spend Rs 862crores. 50- 60 crores per km will have to be spent to land the pod taxi on the land of Noida. with the creation of a film city , where film artists will also come in abundance , a tourist center will be developed in distance of 14 km to attract tourists from all over the world.
Geoffrey Chaucer is the first person to write well known poems and stories in the language of the common people of his time.
HIS LIFE: (c. 1340-c. 1400)
From the records of his time it is found, his name is mentioned with some references and remarks. These references and remarks in his poems are sum of what we know about his life. His birthdate is unclear. But from some documents it is accepted as 1340. He was born in London. He entered the household of the wife of the Duke of Clarence and saw military service and caught there. He is often mentioned as the person of royal pensions and bounties and was confirmed in his offices and pensions. In 1386 he was sent to Italy on one of his diplomatic missions. He was the first poet to be buried in poet’s corner in Westminster Abbey.
HIS POEMS:
The poems of Chaucer poems cannot be confirmed with certainty, but from interval evidence they can as a rule approximately dated.His poems are divided into French, the Italian and the English stages.
The poems of French stage are modelled upon French originals. The style is clumsy and immature. The longest poem is The Romaunt of the Rose, a lengthy allegorical poem written in octosyllabic couplets and based upon Le Romaunt de la rose of Guillaume de Lorris and Jean de Meung. This poem is only a fragment of 8000 lines. The Italian stage shows advancement than the first. Handling of the meters, the technical ability is greater. The Hous of fame, a poem in octosyllabic couplets, is one of the dream allegory type. The Legend of Good Women is the first known attempt in English to use the heroic couplet, which is handled with great skill and freedom. The English group contains work of the greatest individual. The Canterbury Tales is one of his achievements. Chaucer draws together twenty nine pilgrims including himself. The journey of the pilgrim is to tell two tales in the outward journey, and two on the return. Chaucer’s own Tale of Melibeus and The Parson’s Tale are composed in powerful and versatile species of the heroic couplet.
The first thing that strikes the eye is the unique position that Chaucer’s work occupies in the literature of the age. He was the man of the world, mixing freely with all types of mankind and he used his opportunities to observe the little peculiarities of human nature. Chaucer’s best descriptions of men, manners, and places are the first rank in their beauty, impressiveness and humour.
The bisy larke, messagesof day,
Salueth in her song the morwe gay,
And firy phoebus riseth up so brighte
That all the orient laugheth with the lighte.
-The knight’s Tale
The prologue contains generous material to illustrate Chaucer’s power in describing his fellow men. In the literature of his time, the humour of Chaucer is healthy and delightful. As a story teller his narrative posses a curious stealthy speed. In poetical technique, English literature owes much to Chaucer. Chaucer is no great lyrical poet but in some of his, he shows a skill that is as good as the very best apparent in the contemporary poems. He stands alone, and for nearly two thousand years none dare claim equality with him.
This experimentation by many critics, authors, literariness etc, left a lasting mark upon English poetry is a contribution of Chaucer’s that is also cause for considering him the father of English poetry. He also one of the persons to contribute new words to English language.
🔹️Sir Walter Scott was a Scottish historical novelist, playwright and poet. Many of his works remain classics of both English language ligand of Scottish literature. Scott wrote novels and biographies of famous men and contributed to Romanticism and the historical novel. He was Knighted by King George lV In 1820 and died as Sir Walter Scott in 1832. He is well known for a series of novels called Waverly novels. He also produced poetry, short stories, plays and non-fictional works.
🔹️Lochinvar is a fascinating balled which tells the story of brave,young and valiant knight called Lochinvar. He was a promising knight of the highlands. His coming from the west resembles for him of being like sun. He came unarmed riding on his horse throug the wide border. Throughout this special journey he was not carried any weapons and rode all by himself. “He rode all unarm’d, and he rode all alone”. He is faithful to his love and fearless at the same time.
🔹️He is known for being gallant and dauntless in every war he fought for the country. He is so valiant that no obstacle could save him from reaching the desired goal. He swam across the Eske River even through the river had no shallow part where it was being crossed by some stream. It was a deep river that he crossed bravely and without any fear.
🔹️As he reaches he Netherby gate and alighted himself on the horse, the bride Ellen had framed her personal opinion for him as a gallant who had arrived late and was struggle and fought cowardly and disgracefully in the war of love for the bride. He was to take the fair Ellen’s hand in marriage. He entered the Netherby hall so boldly even at the presence the bride’s men and kinsmen, her brother and all her relatives.
🔹️The poor craven bridegroom never said a word. The bride’s father stoop up, with his hand grlpping his sword, spoke up and asked Lochinvar whether he came here in peace or with an intention of war or to dance at their bridal.
“O come ye in peace here, or come ye in war
Or to dance at our bridal, young Lord Lochinvar?”
🔹️Lochinvar gave a bold reply that he had been looking for the lord’s daughter since long but was denied the opportunity to marry her. He responded that his love and taken the back seat and he had only come to drink a cup of wine at the marriage feast. He claimed many beautiful maidens who are far more fair and beautiful Ellen would open heartedly come to be a bride for him. He took one dance with a bride after she blessed his wine. Modestly she accepted blushing. Though there were tears in her eyes, her lips carried the smile that came from her heart.
🔹️The two danced in pair with grace and filled the room with their presence. Like the sun she was illuminated by his light. The groom stood there ashamed and unable to do anything. Though bride’s mother was fretted and her father infuriated, they could do nothing to step them. They were immobilized by his’ stately his form’. The wedding party also agreed to match between young Lochinwar and Ellen.
___________ “twere better by far
To have matched our far cousin with young Lochinvar
🔹️It only took ‘one touch of his hand and one word in her ears for her to bend to his incredible will. He was able to win back Ellen’s love. On his horse he galloped away with Ellen. The clans tried to chase bride was lost without being in sight. Thus the bridegroom proved that he was a ‘laggard in love’ unable to stand up for himself.
Road accidents are the order of the day in India. There is nothing unusual about innocent people losing their lives due to a combination of several factors. First and foremost is their own indifference and ignorance of traffic rules; combined with other factors like callous drivers or the absolute insensitivity shown by the transport authorities. There is no need to go for the statistical details about the exact number of deaths or serious injuries caused due to road accidents in a particular year. Such statistics do not reflect the truth under normal circumstances. The picture given below shows a man whose car has been turned over because of a collision with a truck and the man is presumably bleeding to death.
The policeman seems to have been able to nab the driver who looks more dazed than guilty, perhaps because of the impact of alcohol which is usually the driving force for drivers across India. An ambulance is in place and two men seem to be moving towards the victim with a stretcher. This is very assuring but the nature of the tragedy leaves us with considerable anxiety about the chances of the victim’s survival. Above all, the picture does not forget to show the common men who usually do not forget to play the role of either mute spectators or aggressive agitators under these circumstances. The spot is not as crowded as city areas are expected to be. Perhaps that also explains the presence of trees, clouds, and birds in the area rather than multistoried buildings and advertisement boards.

There are some serious questions that come to my mind when I look at this picture. If we contemplate the picture at a deeper level, we are bound to be confronted by certain very disturbing questions. Why are accidents so common in India? Can nothing be done to combat the menace of rash driving? Why can’t we have a more proactive approach from the police department so that a strict vigil on the roads discourages maniacs from indulging in the killing game of rash driving? The picture shows the policeman nabbing the driver and the medical team on the spot to help the wounded.
Both these incidents are utopian in the Indian context because most drivers in such cases flee the spot and reappear in the scene after a gap of about four or five months, when people have completely forgotten about this incident. Such people also take care to bribe certain dishonest policemen to stay out of legal hassles. The police are often unable to take these people to task. Moreover such is the state of medical care in our country that more often, accident victims die before they can reach the hospital and get proper medical care. Police investigation into these accident cases is such that the common man shies away from helping accident victims for fear of police harassment.

There is no gainsaying the fact that this scenario needs to change. If we do not rush to the aid of an accident victim, it raises serious questions about our identity as civilised human beings. The concerned authorities and the common man should co-operate to improve the scenario with stricter traffic laws and efficient mobile health care units. But we need political will for such a thing to happen. Suppose this person is being taken to the hospital but his ambulance gets stuck in a traffic jam caused by a VIP’s transport facilities and the man dies, whom do you hold responsible? Can we depend on such individuals to make our roads and healthcare facilities better?

The very first thought when I read Macbeth for my university paper was, “Goodness, this is ideal for Halloween.” Macbeth begins with a lightning storm and three very creepy witches.
The name “Shakespeare” can be perceived by children and grown-ups the same all throughout the planet. Macbeth is the one play that stood apart from me from the rest, for both great and awful reasons. Macbeth is the story of how a little push for greed can send an aspiring, ambitious man on a disastrous and deadly fate.
Macbeth is a Thane (a provincial chief) in Scotland, and when he performs strikingly on the battlefield, King Duncan raises Macbeth’s degree of power. In the meantime, Macbeth and Banquo meet three witches on their way back to the kingdom, and they foresee that Macbeth will become ruler. This gives him ideas and when he tells it to his better half, and Lady Macbeth is resolved to get that power. Murder, foul play, madness, and more conflict and war hence follow. Giving the personal verdict I’d say that Macbeth was incredibly lucid and readable. I didn’t end up stammering over sentences (particularly when I read it out loud with a terrible Scottish accent).
What is the play about? It’s about desire and greed. It’s about the ambition. We do see mankind, to say the least, humanity at its worst. Macbeth and his. Significant other. Lady Macbeth fail…and flop pitiably as individual human beings. Three witches encounter Macbeth, a victorious military leader, that he will become the king of Duncan. With this goody of premonition, the seed of aspiration in Macbeth sprouts. He starts to consider how he should deal with make the witches’ prescience work out. The sprout is watered and supported by Lady Macbeth, his better half, who urges her significant other to adopt an active strategy. Macbeth appeared to be blinded by the ideas of power, but he had some integrity in that he felt remorseful. He delayed, he hesitated, he dreaded and feared, he needed guts. But Lady Macbeth, on the other hand, was really wicked. Macduff, who demanded of his fellow fighters that he be permitted to kill Macbeth in retaliation for the deaths of his wife and children, search out Macbeth and battles him proclaiming, “Macduff was from his mom’s womb untimely ripped.” last of the witches’ prophecies about him. That being said, I truly appreciate and enjoy Shakespeare now and then. He has special insight with words that can’t be denied. Also, Macbeth is one of his best works. There are such countless lines and expressions from Macbeth that are a valid part of our culture…” sound and fury”….”something wicked this way comes…” not to mention those famous “double, double, toil and trouble…”. I’d highly suggest this play. Indeed, it’s presumably one of the better entry points into Shakespeare since it’s short, not a complex plot – however, a rich one, and is one of the more recognizable works. It’s a book brimming with magnetic words, which beg to be savored. Proceeding to turn the pages is an effortless act when with each passing moment something significant in the plot is occurring.
