Every year on the day of 8th September it is celebrated as the world’s physiotherapy day started on the day of 1951. It marks the day of the unity and collaboration of the world’s PT society.

Every year according to the situations and conditions the theme of the day is to decide and physiotherapists try their best to keep their patients fit and in sound health throughout the year.

The contribution of the physiotherapists is such an important deed that even if one thinks that it is easy to motivate and aware people about the good things of a healthy and sound mind but it is not an easy task to achieve with a different mindset of peoples with a different set of problems.

It is not easy to think of the profession where we have to motivate people for the things that can easily be interpreted as the way they want.

This year the theme of the day is to talk about the effect of the Covid-19 and how one can cope with it.

Importance 

The importance of this day might not be yet clear to everyone out there but let me pinpoint some points which can even let you ponder on the thoughts that why this is so important for us.

The day was first discovered to recognize the efforts of the physiotherapist and what they do for us. This is day is celebrated to emphasize and promote the profession and expertise of Physiotherapists.

The importance of this can also be seen from the point of recovery from any physical injury that can restrict the movement of the body and all muscles. It is the way or therapy through which we can decrease the effect of the injury by increasing the maximum movement of the body and as well as physical function.

Not just this but with physical therapy one can also recover from fatal injuries and chronic conditions as well.

It can cure the pain and provide instant relief and can take care of the injury which can occur again in the course of some time.

Few Benefits 

The benefit of this day can be seen from the few points given below:

Easy and reliable pain management relief.

Recovery from any kind of trauma and ling lasting method to improve it.

Recovery from any physical injury and as well as paralysis.

Better body balance and posture as many of us can have problems related to the back of the neck area because most of us just sit many hours before the desktop or laptop.

As we all are gaining experience with our increasing age, we are also getting ourselves in the life long diseases which is very frequent nowadays so we can get some help from here too.

Conclusion

Even though medicines can provide us instant relief and no it’s not bad either when we don’t have any choice but one should consider physical therapy in the case of injury that is on the physical level and we rely on it for the longest time.

POVERTY

POVERTY IS THE WORST FORM OF VIOLENCE – MAHATAMA GANDHI.

Poverty can be defined as the condition where an individuals basic necessities are not fulfilled like; shelter, clothing, education. Today world is heading towards globalization, but still poverty remains a prime issue in many countries. Poverty has become a complex problem. It leads to other problems. A poor person is not able to get education which causes increase in illiteracy. An illiterate person is not qualified for jobs roles which leads to unemployment and in many cases humans exploitation and child labour. An unemployed person is not able get proper nutrition diet leading to power health and no energy for work. Most of the underprivileged class lives in slum areas. They lack in proper sanitation and drinking water, eventually leading to an early death. We can say that poverty is the root cause of other problems in society. There are various causes of poverty and one of the chief cause is population explosion. Rising population is putting load over the resources and budgeting of the country. In some countries past civil war had made poverty widespread. Natural disaster has also contributed to countries poverty. Today the rich are getting richer and poor are getting more poor. Government has come up with many plans to eradicate poverty but we can get better by joint efforts of government and people.

International Literacy Day

Literacy the way one defines it tells many things about the perception of that person on the topic, but what can’t change with the variety of thoughts and points of view is the motive, the base, and everything which can tell the sheer drive of why and what behind the subject.

“The man who won’t read has no advantage on the man who can’t read”, as the saying goes we can easily see the importance of one’s literacy. The power one can harness from the depth of reading and knowledge is far much greater than anything.

The boundness of our imagination and information about things restricts us from achieving many things at the higher fronts, so reading and knowing contributes to your personal growth as well as on the backends of things too.

International Literacy Day is celebrated on the 8th of September every year all over the United States started in the year 1966.

But before knowing some of the amazing facts and information about literacy shouldn’t we know the real meaning of what literacy is and what one can interpret from it.

Literacy means the ability of a person through which one can understand, read, write and interpret things that they never can think of without the means of literacy.

“ The more you read, the more you learn and more places you go” by Dr. Seuss

Says everything about the benefit of the reading and how it can affect one’s all over the status of mind and as well as living methods.

So, let’s dive into the amazing facts and important notes related to the world’s literacy day.

First, let’s talk about the facts which concern the literacy rate of the world’s populations.

According to the stats of the United Nation, there are around 75 million children which are either dropouts or they don’t go to school.

As of this year, there are around 250 children which still can’t read or write, but the amazing fact is that around 84% of the world’s population is literate.

Almost the major portion of illiterate adults are from the top 10 countries like Nigeria, China, Pakistan, and India. One in five adults is illiterate according to the stats.

International Literacy day is not a day to celebrate it as a Holiday but it is the day to observe and know the importance of reading.

The literacy of India is somehow not so good or bad but it is something for which we all are working together and we will achieve it in the upcoming years ahead.

But again there is something lethargic about the rate of our literacy as if though we want to achieve it but we are unable to do so or it’s we just don’t want to achieve it right away.

Even in times of the global crisis, we have come up with alternatives to let the flow of literacy continue and people get their basic right of reading and literacy.

Even though around everything we should celebrate the people who can read and spread awareness who can’t.

Fast Food Chains

Origin

The term Fast Food was considered by Merriam Webster in the 1951 dictionary. Fast Food chains are a specific type of quick service and self-service restaurants with bare minimum seating arrangements. People generally takeaway or orders food from them.

The ultimacy of takeaways

The devotion of Fast-Food Chains or to call them Quick Service Restaurants not border restricted but worldwide. Be it “not in home-food-mood” or morning office rush, fast food chains have proved to have descended from the heavenly abode just to assist humans in their crisis times. These restaurants produce in bulk the food items and keep it warm, fresh, and ready to get picked.

Pocketwatchers and Watchkeepers

The affordable rates and not so short fast-food variety A list of these Quick Service Restaurants is the main centre of attraction. These reasonable and instantly fast-food providing places captivates the major group of the population of The United States I.e. The Youth, both college and office goers.

Specific in Specials

These fast-food chains are both vegetarians and nonvegetarians friendly. Both Arby’s Meat and Burger King’s Whopper is equally respectable among fast-food lovers. McDonalds and Pizza Hut are among the top priority list of pizza lovers. Not to deny the reign of KFC in the hearts of non-vegetarians.

Fed-up of dining-in

The vast working-class singles when fed up of Hotel’s boring Dine-ins, step towards these fast-food chains for quick home deliveries at the comfort of their homes and enjoy their meal along with home theatres.

Boon For Time Lacking Mothers

With the ingrained notion assigning cooking to Moms, although which seems to having started fading away, students find it easy to pick up from takeaways on their way to schools. With serving burgers, pizzas, fries, shakes, beverages, fish, salads, chicken nuggets and much more, these fast-food chains have acquired both- Customers and controversies regarding being healthy. Say whatever to attack but the incredibility of these quick servers cannot be overlooked.

Agile for Non-Techies

Agile Methodology

Going by the term, agile denotes an active and fast process of performing a task. It is a method that can be applied in a variety of fields but nowadays it is gaining fame in Software development and Project Management areas. Let’s have a look at both distinctively:

Agile Methodology in Software Development

  • Agile Methodology in Software creation and development is a very effective and preferable method in present times. Agile enables the company to meet the software requirements of its customers in a very short span of time.
  • With this method, the company is flexible enough to handle N no. of requirement change at any given time, and the secret recipe for this flexibility is its working process. Agile is a iterative (repeats same process of requirement – design – development -testing) and incremental (keeps on adding new features and requirements during the iterative process) model where requirements keep changing.
  • In agile, a software demanded is broken into different pieces (called sprints) and are delivered to the customer in these sprints form and hence enabling the company to make any change desired by the customer at any stage of development.

Agile Methodology in Project Management

  • It is the same process as followed in Software Development where task of Software Building is replaced by any kind of project or in simple terms, to generalise the method for any field.
  • It has a flexible approach to build a project. A project is divided into mini-projects called sprints, and instead of delivering the complete major project as a whole to the customer, the company works on delivering the desired project in sprints on weekly or say monthly basis (whatever suitable).
  • It includes the following steps in Agile Development Cycle.
    • Sprint Backlog enlists the tasks to be completed in each sprint like planning, designing, execution, testing and development stages.
    • Product Backlog explains new features, changes in the existing features and several other significant improvements in the project.
    • Sprint includes the cycle of >>Planning >> Designing >> Testing >> Release >> Planning >>
    • Final Product received at the end of the whole mini-project deliveries.

Principles of Agile Methodology

  • Changes required by customers at any stage can be fulfilled.
  • Releases will be very fast.
  • Aims to achieve customer satisfaction.
  • Good communication link between customers, business analyst, developers and test engineers.
  • Easier to adopt than traditional Waterfall Method.
  • Modification at every stage result in best quality achievement.
  • Error in a small sprint can be easily corrected instead of error in a whole major project.

The top most All India service is that of an IAS officer and since most aspirants aim for this top post, it is simply known as IAS exam too.

Heal the world

I hope u all heard Micheal Jackson’s lines “Heal the world make it a better place, for u and for me and the entire world within..” Its really awesome song that makes me goosebumps! The concept of better world can be seen through the view of Ralph waldo Emerson , ” To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social conditions, to know that even one life has breathed easier becoz u have lived that is to hv succeed!” Something can be more better, beautiful or even extraordinary only if u start accepting the changes! That’s what Sir. Robert Baden in his last msg that, “Try to leave this world a little better than u found in it” Make changes over around you, perhaps only when you do something u haven’t done before! It has never been easier to make a difference untill you accept it, But every big things occur only when we took the first step! Respect the differences, raise well rounded human beings , encourage little good things happen around you, be the first voice to the voiceless! Make this world a better, a beautiful place..!Without pain no gain!

Why your votes matter

voice your future through your vote

The right to vote is the most direct, most determinant and most dynamic expression of democracy.

Our Indian democracy gives the power to the people. The power to vote and choose a leader / party of our choice. And so, it is only apt that we make use of this opportunity. This is our opportunity to express who we are and what we care about. If you care about your future, Vote your future.

It is essential for every Indian to take the elections seriously. Be it playing an alternate card, keeping fascits at bay or to try a third card. Not everything may change overnight.  But we as citizens of democratic India, have an obligation to vote.

I know you and I are frustrated with the way things are going on in this country. And we’re all trying to post and tweet but nothing you can do is more powerful than you and I voting. Stand up for yourself, educate yourself, use your voice and vote. Make your voice heard because it counts.

As Rabindranath Tagore in his poem, where the mind is without fear, says,

” into that heaven of freedom, my father, Let my country awake.” we are called to lift up this people and this nation to that place.

Needless to say, every citizen’s vote is counted in the polling process. If the people are equally divided between two candidates, one single vote can be a game-changer and a decisive factor. We have seen in the past how one vote from an MP can decide the fall of the government. Exactly the same way, a single person’s vote can confirm the win/fall of an aspiring MP or MLA. Voting is the fundamental basis of democracy’s ‘Of the people, for the people, and by the people’ slogan. Therefore, rather than enjoying it as a holiday, one must vote if he truly wants to contribute to the nation-building process and bring about a change. A Citizen should actually not need to find any reason to Vote. It must be done as a compulsive duty although there is no legal obligation to vote.

At times, it is possible that one does not want any single candidate to be elected from all who are contesting. The election commission has made a special provision of NOTA. It stands for None of The Above. Hence if none of the candidates fit into your criteria, just hit the NOTA option and voice the opinion. Introduction of this alternative is believed to play a significant role in the future. In the late future, it may also be possible that the NOTA will decide the re-elections with fresh candidates.

one of the main reason to vote :

Covid19- we all know how this pandemic affected every corner of the world and how our nation suffered. Millions of people lost their jobs, daily bread and yes lives too So as a responsible citizen of this nation we should elect a government which can work efficiently for the people during any crisis.
