Meghalaya

 Many congratulations to all the people of Meghalaya on the golden jubilee celebration of the statehood! Today, I applaud everyone who has contributed to the building and development of Meghalaya. Some of the great personalities who raised their voice for Meghalaya’s statehood 50 years ago are present at the ceremony. I salute them too!

Friends,

I have had the privilege of visiting Meghalaya many times. I had come to Shillong to attend the North Eastern Council meet for the first time when you gave me the opportunity to serve as the Prime Minister. It was an unforgettable experience as a Prime Minister to participate in this event in Shillong after a gap of three-four decades. I am glad that the people of Meghalaya have strengthened their identity of being close to nature in the last 50 years. Meghalaya is becoming an attractive place for the country and the world for its beautiful waterfalls, for its clean and serene environment and for connecting with your unique tradition.

Meghalaya has given the message of nature and progress, conservation and eco-sustainability to the world. Our brothers and sisters from Khasi, Garo and Jaintia communities deserve special appreciation for this. These communities have encouraged life in harmony with nature and have also contributed appreciably in enriching art and music. The tradition of Whistling Village i.e., Kongthong village encourages our eternal sense of connection to the roots. Every village in Meghalaya has a rich tradition of choirs.

This land is full of talented artists. The Shillong Chamber Choir has given a new identity and new height to this tradition. Along with art, the talent of the youth of Meghalaya has been strengthening the pride of the country in sports as well. When India is on its way to becoming a major power in sports, the country has high hopes from Meghalaya’s rich sports culture. While the sisters of Meghalaya have revived the art of bamboo and cane weaving, the hardworking farmers here are cementing Meghalaya’s identity as an organic state. The cultivation of golden spice and Lakadong turmeric is now famous all over the world.

Friends,

The Central Government has sincerely tried to accelerate the development journey of Meghalaya in the last seven years. The central government is fully committed especially to better road, rail and air connectivity. Work is being done on a priority basis for ensuring new markets for the local organic products in the country and abroad. Under the leadership of young Chief Minister Conrad Sangma ji, efforts are being made to ensure central schemes for the masses at a fast pace. Meghalaya has benefited greatly from programs like the PM Gramin Sadak Yojana and the National Livelihood Mission. The number of households receiving tap water in Meghalaya has increased to 33 percent due to the Jal Jeevan Mission, whereas it was just one percent of the households (getting tap water) two-three years ago till 2019. When the country is moving towards using drone technology on a large scale for the delivery of public facilities, Meghalaya has become one of the first states in the country to deliver corona vaccines through drones. This is a picture of a changing Meghalaya.

Brothers and sisters,

Meghalaya has achieved a lot, but it still has a lot to achieve. Apart from tourism and organic farming, efforts are also needed for the development of new sectors in Meghalaya. I am with you for all your efforts. We will work together to achieve the goals you have set for this decade. Best wishes to all of you!

Thank you, Khublei Shibun, Mithla

Jai Hind!

Tripura is becoming a land of opportunities

 The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi paid tribute to the people who have contributed to the establishment and development of Tripura. He acknowledged the dignity and contribution of the state from the period of Manikya Dynasty. He praised the unity and collective efforts of the people of the state. He was speaking on the occasion of the 50th Statehood day of Tripura today.

The Prime Minister underlined the three years of meaningful development and said that Tripura is becoming a land of opportunities under the aegis of relentless efforts of the double engine government.  Highlighting the state’s excellent performance on many of the development parameters, the Prime Minister said that through the construction of the connectivity infrastructure, the state is fast becoming the hub of the trade corridor. Today, along with roads, railways, air and inlay waterways are also connecting Tripura with the rest of the world. The double engine government fulfilled the long pending demand of Tripura and got access to the Chittagong sea port in Bangladesh. The state received the first cargo from Bangladesh through Akhaura Integrated Check Post in 2020. The Prime Minister also mentioned the recent expansion of Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport.

The Prime Minister talked about good work in the state regarding providing pucca houses to the poor and use of new technology in housing construction. These Light House Projects (LHP) are going on in six states and Tripura is one of them. He said that the work of the last three years is just a beginning and Tripura’s real potential is yet to be realized. He said that the measures in the fields ranging from transparency in the administration to infrastructure development will prepare the state for decades to come. Campaigns like saturation of benefits and facilities in all the villages will make the lives of the people of Tripura easier and better, he said.

 The Prime Minister said as India will attain 100 years of Azadi, Tripura will also complete 75 years of statehood. “This is a great period for new resolutions and new opportunities”, the Prime Minister added.

First Convocation ceremony of Indian Institute of Petroleum and Energy (IIPE)

 The Vice President, Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu today called for increasing indigenous production of crude oil through strong R&D efforts to ensure energy security of the country. 

Calling for ‘Atma Nirbharta’ in the country’s energy mix, Shri Naidu suggested focussing more on increasing domestic exploration of petroleum, harnessing the full potential of renewable sources and aiming for excellence and innovation in the energy industry.

Noting that India is the world’s third largest consumer of crude oil and yet import-dependent for more than 80 percent of its needs, Shri Naidu underlined the importance of increasing production, not only to save foreign exchange but also to ensure energy security. He noted various policy reforms of the government such as the Hydrocarbon Exploration Licensing Policy (HELP) aimed at increasing exploration in new sedimentary basins.

The Vice President was attending the First Convocation ceremony of the Indian Institute of Petroleum and Energy (IIPE) in Visakhapatnam. IIPE is a dedicated university for petroleum research and was recognized as an Institution of National Importance in 2017 through an Act of Parliament.

Noting the impact of population and industrialisation on increased energy demand, Shri Naidu said that ‘India’s primary energy demand is expected to grow at an average rate of more than 3% till 2045 as compared to less than 1% growth for the rest of the world.’

In this regard, Shri Naidu called upon IIPE and other energy institutes to  bridge the supply gap of skilled manpower for the petroleum sector and build stronger industry-institute linkages with the prominent market players.

He also suggested encouraging Ph.D. students to undertake research on problems faced by the industry and thus ‘bring a multi-disciplinary approach into academic research, which is the aim of National Education Policy 2020.’

Observing that India is blessed with ample renewable sources such as solar, wind and tidal power, the Vice President suggested fully tapping the potential of these sources of energy as part of the efforts to reduce the use of fossil fuels.

To achieve this, he suggested institutes specialising in energy should also seek to diversify their portfolio and take up projects which have a component of renewable energy research. “Even a tiny improvement in the efficiency of harnessing green sources will deliver great benefits of scale to our economy and ecology”, he noted.

The Vice President expressed confidence that IIPE will show the way forward by becoming an exemplar in the domain of energy research. He appreciated the efforts of the administration and complimented the graduating students for their achievements. Shri Naidu presented awards to the gold medalists from the batches 2016-20 and 2017-21.

On this occasion, the Vice President called for caution and utmost adherence to COVID-19 protocol as the country is going through the third wave of the pandemic. Appreciating the government’s efforts for vaccination, he called upon civil society groups, students, medical professionals and others to reach out to as many people as possible and encourage people to get vaccinated. “It is now well established that vaccination drastically reduces the need for hospitalisation, including admission to ICU. Vaccination can indeed save lives,” he observed.

Shri Rameswar Teli, Union Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Labour and Employment, Dr. Seediri Appala Raju, Andhra Pradesh Minister for Animal Husbandry and Fisheries & Dairies Development, Prof P.K. Banik, President of the Board of Governors, IIPE, Prof VSRK Prasad, Director, IIPE, Vice Chancellors of various Universities, other dignitaries and the graduating students participated in the event.

Following is the full text of the speech:

“Sisters and brothers,

I am indeed honoured to be here for the First Convocation ceremony of the Indian Institute of Petroleum and Energy (IIPE) in Visakhapatnam.

At the outset, I wish to congratulate all the graduating students for acquiring a degree of high contemporary relevance from this institution. My best wishes to all of you as you mark an important milestone in your journey of learning. I would like to convey my appreciation to the teachers who nurtured the students to be proficient in their disciplines and imparted the necessary skills to make them competent professionals.

Sisters and brothers,

We are meeting at a difficult time when the world is undergoing another wave of the pandemic. The Governments at the Centre and in various states are taking all measures to prevent the spread of the virus, including the implementation of the world’s largest vaccination drive. It is imperative that we complement these efforts as responsible citizens and do our bit in protecting ourselves and our community.

I call upon civil society groups, students, medical professionals and the government to reach out to as many people as possible and encourage people to get vaccinated. It is now well established that vaccination drastically reduces the need for hospitalisation, including admission to ICU. Indeed, vaccination can save lives and those harboring doubts must shed their hesitancy and get vaccinated at the earliest.

Friends,

It is truly a matter of delight for me to attend the first convocation of this institute. I remember that the foundation stone for the campus at Vangali village was laid by me as the then Minister for Urban Development along with the then Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas.

I have been informed that the campus could not be shifted to the new premises due to some legal issues. However, I am glad to know that with the concerted efforts of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, the Government of Andhra Pradesh and the institute, things are looking bright and soon, the institute is likely to be shifted to the new campus.

Sisters and brothers,

Petroleum and its byproducts have played a critical role in propelling the progress of the world in modern times. From the discovery of the first oil reserves in Digboi, Assam in 1889, the industry has seen a phenomenal rise in India, greatly aiding the country’s progress post-independence.

India today is the third-largest consumer of crude oil in the world. While petroleum comprises an important component of India’s energy mix, we are still import-dependent for more than 80 percent of our oil needs. It is indeed important to focus on increasing indigenous crude oil production and reducing imports to not only save precious foreign exchange but also to ensure energy security.

With increasing population, urbanization and industrialization, the use of petroleum products is only expected to increase. For India, the primary energy demand is expected to grow at an average rate of more than 3% till 2045 as compared to less than 1% growth for the rest of the world.

This highlights the importance of local exploration of petroleum and shifting to alternative sources. To this end, the government’s policy reforms such as Hydrocarbon Exploration Licensing Policy (HELP) aim at increasing domestic production, liberalizing exploration of new sedimentary basins, including ultra-deepwater blocks.

In this quest for ‘Atma Nirbharta’ in energy security, institutions like IIPE have a central role to play. As a dedicated university for petroleum research, IIPE should take the lead in two aspects: One, in bridging the supply gap of skilled manpower for the Petroleum Sector and two, to aim for excellence in research of petroleum and its by-products. It was thus duly recognized as an Institution of National Importance in 2017, and IIPE should live up to that expectation in the years ahead.

Overall, there is a need to invest in research institutes in a big way and create the ecosystem for innovation to thrive and help the country to become ‘energy secure’ in the coming years.

Sisters and brothers,

As we strive for excellence in the hydrocarbons’ research, it is important to promote ‘industry-institute’ linkages to boost R&D outcomes. Sponsored research, collaboration and consulting with industries are integral to today’s R&D landscape and institutes in this area should explore opportunities with all prominent private players. I am happy to know IIPE has collaborated with oil majors in the country such as HPCL, IOCL and even entered into MoUs with foreign universities to pursue joint research.

More such mutually beneficial tie-ups between academia and industry must be explored. In addition, bottlenecks in our patenting regime must be resolved, Ph.D. students must be encouraged to undertake research on problems faced by the industry. Such a move towards partnership will also bring a multi-disciplinary approach into academic research, which is the aim of National Education Policy 2020.

Sisters and brothers,

Fossil fuels, despite having driven the world’s economic engines for a long time, have a big downside. Combustion of these fuels emits pollutants, whose deleterious effects on the planet have been well documented.

The potential of small and renewable sources of energy needs to be fully tapped as part of the efforts to reduce the use of fossil fuels. I am happy to note that solar, wind, small hydro, and tidal energies are being well explored and their costs also have been coming down over the years.

Thus, as the world is looking for clean and sustainable energies, institutes specializing in energy should also seek to diversify their portfolio by adopting a multidisciplinary approach to energy and bringing out alternative solutions. Even a tiny improvement in the efficiency of harnessing green sources will deliver great benefits of scale to our economy and ecology.

India in particular is blessed to have ample sunlight throughout the year, good wind power potential in the Southern and Western Regions and inexhaustible tidal energy in the seas. A great start has been made with the formation of the International Solar Alliance, an initiative led by India.

While many institutions have been taking up renewable energy seriously, we must also invest in training the workforce with the latest technologies in the renewable sector. This will open up great employment opportunities while also driving the green energy sector.

Universities must also take up research work and projects which have a component of renewable energy research.  While IIPE is presently offering Petroleum Engineering and Chemical Engineering at UG levels and Ph.D., I am happy to note that the institute is planning to promote research in alternative energy sources.

Sisters and brothers,

I am confident IIPE, a young institution as it is, will show the way forward by becoming an exemplar in the domain of energy research. Despite being a new institution, IIPE, has shown good promise already due to the untiring efforts of the administration, faculty and most importantly, its students. My appreciation and best wishes to all of you for your future endeavors!

Once again, I am very happy to be present at the First Convocation of this promising National Institute. On this momentous occasion, I once again congratulate the graduating students for acquiring their coveted degrees, prizes and medals.

Thank you all.

Namaskar. Jai Hind.”

FAMILY❤

Family is one of the greatest gift and blessing from the Lord. Without family you can not feel love, care , satisfaction and happiness. They are the most treasured blessing that no one can take away from us. It is also like a fragile thing you consider as the most precious gem in your whole life.

Family is a basic unit in the society traditionally consisting of parents and children. It does not need to be blood related in order to be a family. Family is home, they are the ones who gives you unconditional love. They are the people who comforts you towards difficulties in life. The ones who I can count on in times of love problem. Family, the people whom I call my world, my world because they are the people who guides me taught me how to walk and talk

My family has always supported me without any claim, from the moral teachings to love and support. For me, my family is like a strong pillar on which I can rely blindly whenever I need support. My family is always there to inspire and support me to overcome all life challenges and accomplish things. A relation is a unique kind of love that gives you all the lessons you need to live a healthy lifestyle.

WHY FAMILY IS IMPORTANT?

Families are wealth, which not everyone is lucky enough to have. Sometimes, those who have don’t value this gift. Families are important because they assist in our development. They grow us all into a full-fledged human with individual identity. They always offer us a sense of comfort and a safe place to flourish within. We learn to socialize and develop our intellect through our families. Studies demonstrate that people who live with their families tend to be happier than those who live alone. In times of trouble, they serve as your pillar.

When the entire world questions you, families are the only ones who believe in you. Similarly, they ‘re the first to cheer you up when you’re down and out. Having a supportive family by your side is a great blessing. In ups and downs, my family has always been at my side. They taught me how to be a better human being. I will be grateful to my family forever for what they did to me. Without them, I can’t imagine my life. They are my first instructors and friends.

Families are the pillars of strength because they give us the courage to face the world. They are always there when we need them. Even in the loneliest of times, families make us feel better.

Most of us teenagers, having mistakes of not giving valuable or importance to our family.Sometimes we get mad at ththem.for some reasons, but we should always put in our mind that life is too short and family is very precious.

Let me add again a special word about family .Our family is the most precious things we have. The friends we have today may not be our friends in the future ,but our family? They will always be our family that will always be there for us during ups and downs and love us no matter what .

The value of family is priceless , no one could ever buy them and it cannot be described by a single word.

Before I end this speech, I would like you to reflect on this quotation

“FAMILY IS NOT THE IMPORTANT THING ,THEY ARE EVERYTHING “

PORTRAYAL OF FADING PASSION IN THE POEM “ONE FLESH”

“One Flesh” written by Elizabeth Jennings is a poem which shows the narrator’s reaction towards the passionless marriage of her parents. She explores their never in a melancholic tone. The title can be related to Bible in the Book of Genesis, in the creation of Adam and Eve. There the two individuals were ‘one flesh’ and could not be divided. This concept also extends to marriage where two individuals become one entity. Here the parents of the narrator were also ‘one flesh’ as mentioned in the title. They are the remnants of a former passion. Speaker says that she has rarely seen her parents touch or when they did that was fake or an act of necessity. Their relationship does not seem genuine. Poet describes the relation as ‘flotsam’ which shows their relationship growing colder. Poet also says that “whose fire from which I came, has now grown cold?”. The poet views her parents behaviour as chaste, or they are preparing themselves for the lives of chastity. During those times chastity was of utmost importance. So the narrator ends the poem by saying that all people, including her parents’ final destination is chastity.

Even though at an age they engage in passionate relationship they ultimately return to abstinence. Poet also questions whether the parents know they are old. The parents lie close but, they are not speaking to one another. They are mentally apart, their minds drifts to different places. The poet says that they are wasting precious moments they are together. For the speaker time seems to be a feather, which is withering away. Even though poet is able to find the feather parents are not realising that time is not left.

Tryst With Destiny

Tryst with Destiny” was an English-language speech delivered by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, to the Indian Constituent Assembly in the Parliament, on the eve of India’s Independence, towards midnight on 14 August 1947. The speech spoke on the aspects that transcended Indian history

It is considered to be one of the greatest speeches of the 20th centuryand to be a landmark oration that captures the essence of the triumphant culmination of the Indian independence movement against British colonial rule in India.

Tryst with destiny means to make a deal secretly with your destiny. This speech was given by Jawaharlal Nehru on the eve of India’s independence.

10 Lines on Nehru Speech Tryst with Destiny

1 The Tryst With Destiny Full Speech lasted nearly 8 minutes, that is, a total of 1099 words were delivered in the oratory style of his day.

The very opening words of Nehru’s Speech-“India’s Tryst With Destiny” are infused with the poetic style that is characteristic of the speeches and writing of Nehru.

In A Tryst With Destiny, Nehru gives a lively picture of the historical richness of India and expresses his hope for an equally great, if not greater, future for India.

The traditional personification of India as a woman, considered to be a “mother” has been done which is popular in Indian literature.

Nehru warns against petty prejudice and divisive criticism in the latter part of the speech that refers to the problems of caste, race and religion that have plagued India for centuries.

He warns against the dangers of communalism and narrow mindedness, using speech figures reflective of “Where The Mind Is Without Fear” by Rabindranath Tagore

He calls the people of Pakistan as his “Brothers and Sisters”, in line with Gandhi’s ideal of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.

A Tryst With Destiny Book written by Stanley Wolpert traces Jawaharlal’s rapid rise to the presidency of India’s National Congress.

The Tryst With Destiny Speech is renowned worldwide, even today

What does tryst with destiny symbolise? 

Tryst with destiny means to make a deal secretly with your destiny. This speech was given by Jawaharlal Nehru on the eve of India’s independence. The speech talks about how all Indians came together to fight against the British and got freedom after the struggle of 89 years with lots of lives lost. The speech symbolises that India was destined for freedom and after all those years the independent India vision was achieved.

What was the central message of the speech?

Tryst with destiny? India had suffered a great deal during the rule of Britishers. The speech’s central message was to end poverty and ignorance in India. The diseases, inequality had to be diminished from the country and unless there is no end to the suffering of people the work of truly free India is not complete. Jawaharlal Nehru was an ambitious man and his mission was to wipe every tear from every eye in India. 

What are the unique aspects of the speech tryst with destiny?

There was a great use of metaphors used in the speech by Jawaharlal Nehru explaining the tale of India in a poetic form. Throughout the speech, our country was addressed as “she” and there was a reference made “India will awake”. The independence of India is compared to the hope and freedom of a star. Nehruji did paint a beautiful picture of India through the speech. These were the few unique factors of the speech. Every student should take the learning off the creativity and the metaphors and poetic comparisons made while writing any speech

Women Molestation and Sexual Assault

Sexual abuse, also referred to as molestation, is abusive sexual behavior by one person upon another. It is often perpetrated using force or by taking advantage of another. When force is immediate, of short duration, or infrequent, it is called sexual assault[citation needed]. The offender is referred to as a sexual abuser or (often pejoratively) molester.The term also covers any behavior by an adult or older adolescent towards a child to stimulate any of the involved sexually. The use of a child, or other individuals younger than the age of consent, for sexual stimulation is referred to as child sexual abuse or statutory rape. Live streaming sexual abuse involves trafficking and coerced sexual acts and or rape in real time on webcam

to make unwanted or improper sexual advances towards (someone) especially : to force physical and usually sexual contact on (someone) He was sent to prison for molesting children.

Sexual assault can be verbal, visual, or anything that forces a person to join in unwanted sexual contact or attention. Examples of this are voyeurism (when someone watches private sexual acts), exhibitionism (when someone exposes him/herself in public), incest (sexual contact between family members), and sexual harassment. It can happen in different situations, by a stranger in an isolated place, on a date, or in the home by someone you know.

Rape is a common form of sexual assault. It is committed in many situations—on a date, by a friend or an acquaintance, or when you think you are alone. Educate yourself on “date rape” drugs. They can be slipped into a drink when a victim is not looking. Never leave your drink unattended—no matter where you are. Try to always be aware of your surroundings. Date rape drugs make a person unable to resist assault and have a type of memory loss so the victim doesn’t know what happened.

Violence against women by any one is always wrong, whether the abuser is someone you date; a current or past spouse, boyfriend, or girlfriend; a family member; an acquaintance; or a stranger. You are not at fault. You did not cause the abuse to occur, and you are not responsible for the violent behavior of someone else. If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, seek help from other family members and friends or community organizations. Reach out for support or counseling. 

What are the steps taken for women safety in India?

Police Reforms and Support

:2.Speedy Justice:

Special Investigation Units:

Capacity training of Prosecutors:

.POSH & POCSO :

Infrastructure to ensure the safety of women in public spaces

:24/7 Helpline and Safety Apps with speedy response:

While the Government has in place laws like- POSH, POCSO, and schemes like Nirbhaya Fund,Campaigns like Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao, Sukanya Samriddhi, the implementation, and enforcement should be an urgent focus area. The long pandemic has only worsened the sit

Five near-term recommendations are as follows

:1.Police Reforms and Support :

Large scale impactful training, robust standard operating procedures for filing FIR, investigation, and charge-sheet, and above all it should be time-bound. This needs strong enforcement amongst the police force. Increasing women’s police force to levels of 30% merits considering. We all know effective police patrolling  with speedy response delivers confidence for women’s safety

2.Speedy Justice:

The fast tracks courts exist only in name, often not in place or not functioning. We need resources and oversight to ensure Fast Track Courts are functioning as planned across the states and country. Gender sensitization of judicial authorities, if required merits training

3.Special Investigation Units:

For heinous crimes to expedite the investigation process should be ensured.

4 Promote Women’s safety awareness and empowerment:Sustained multi-year programs may include self-defense, leadership skills, educating on law and legal options about women’s safety and empowerment is essential. This has to be an ongoing agenda. Communication with men is equally important for women’s safety. We need to communicate on both gender equality and sensitivity in all the campaigns and communications, across urban & rural, sectors. Women need to be perceived as strong and equal.

Digital Boom in the Crisis

Though the Covid-19 was the worst nightmare in the history of mankind, still it managed to dig out some good things. It took lives of the people, made them jobless, destroyed their livelihood and affected them mentally as well as socially. All sorts of torture and pressure took in these times. In a nutshell, it created havoc in everyone’s life. But it is imperative to note that it took our country five year ahead in terms of digitalization that also in only few months. By this, it is significant to note down the changes that happened- online classes of children, employees working from home, transactions taking place digitally, market growing online and much more. Even the vegetable and fruit vendors are now accepting online transactions because they are also well aware the fact that in these times if they will not use the current technology, they will be left behind in the ongoing competition. The competition which has taken birth in the crisis. And the people also support this because it benefits them. They don’t have to be engaged in the give and take of cash which probably will increase the chances of spreading of the virus. So, for them the involvement in the digital transactions is a god deal.


It happened largely due to the fact that while the crisis is happening in the country and creating havoc in everyone’s life, things cannot take a backseat. It cannot become still. It has to move on. The country has to move on from all this. And in this regard, the digitalization of the things was given emphasis and importance. While working online and more precisely, working from home, there are no chances that they come into the contact of the virus. In this manner, people will be safe and the work will also get done even more effectively and efficiently. Both the employer and the employee will be happy. It will be a win-win situation for everyone. Also if analyzed in broader light, it will involve transparency, accountability, and better mechanism. It will create a competition also in the market which can be termed as healthy because in competition all the businesses will try to be on top and in this order the most benefitted one will be the customers, the consumer sector. They will get variety coupled with the quality.


To analyze the whole situation, our country is actually ahead 5 years in terms of technology and it is not only about the digital transactions and online work which is taking place. It is much more than that. The development in the medicinal sector. The vaccines. India has carried out it’s own research and studies to make a vaccine and was successful also in that. It is among in that few countries who has developed its own vaccine which is very effective and successful in breaking the chain of virus.


Lastly, it can be concluded with the fact that though this pandemic was never imagined by anyone but if we get to the core of everything, we can see the new opportunities it created. The mechanism created now will help us in reviving the economy and also boosting it in the future. It will surely take the country to new heights.

One Person I’M Glad I Met

Then I realized that God tested those who are capable, then I took care of myself and I know that the person I met, I am glad that I am not different … when a person meets himself or finds himself, it means that he finds everything that feeling makes him very happy. My life took a new direction and I met a man, and then I was glad that I met this guy … this guy seemed like an angel to me. You showed me that someone is capable of being interested in me, although I am convinced that I am a girl that no one will ever love. You showed me that someone is capable of being interested in me, although I am convinced that I am a girl that no one will ever love.

Without him I wouldn’t be who I am and for that I feel blessed. He made me better than I am proud of today, and if not for him, perhaps I would not be who I am. I know there is only one person who made me feel this way and I want to meet him. I have created so many people in my life, but there is a person, a soul that beats me today, my mother.

I have and still have many people who have left their mark on my life, but there is one person, one soul, that stands out to me today – this is my mother. The sweetest soul speaks the language of love, and the strongest soul protects those she loves. You are the only person in my life who means everything to me and I can spend every day with you. If there’s one thing I’ll give you forever, it’s my love, my heart and my soul.

I have never felt this way before, my love for you is pure and I am so happy to have found you. I have never loved anyone so much and I am so glad you are in my life. I love you dearly and I never want to lose you because life has been so beautiful since the day I found you. My dear, life is so beautiful with you and I am so happy to have found you.

Even if things don’t go my way, I’ll still be happy for you. You are the one I fight the most and you are also my best friend. A friend like you I love to death and will never let go. Friends like you are the ones who open my eyes and help me avoid bad things.

But out of everyone I’ve met so far, I’m proud to say I’ve met the best friend of my life. For this reason, I can proudly say that I have met a great friend in my life. A friend of mine from childhood, we haven’t been in touch for thirty years, twenty-nine to be exact. We couldn’t meet and one of my closest friends brought me food and apologized for not being able to eat together.

When my dog ​​passed away this summer, I had one of my best and oldest friends by my side. A friend of mine from childhood and her husband called me every day, sometimes two or three times a day, just to make sure she was okay. Sometimes I feel lonely and there is no one to talk to or ask for help, and there are always people who call me out of the blue and ask how I’m doing. The only person I’ve ever met is one of the best friends in my life, and I love another side of myself, even more.

The only person I am happy to meet is one of my best friends, life, love, significant other. Today – today I am grateful for every friend that has been a part of my life, from the smallest to the oldest. To be honest, I don’t know how I would have gotten this far without each of them.

So, I will start with those whom I met when I was open to the outside world. So if I were to start listing them as the best people I’m happy to meet, the list would be quite large.

Thanks to both of the two important people mentioned above, I have found my real me and am happy to meet my real me, hidden and bound by these imaginary chains and cages. You showed me what it’s like to meet someone and form an immediate and undeniable connection with them. If there was a way to look into my heart with my eyes, you would know how special you are to me. I am happy that I told her the last time we met that I would take care of her.

These have been months of my life filled with mistakes, regrets and great happiness. As I get to know you better, I realize that you don’t let your work enter your mind, sometimes you close your book and go out to dinner with your friends, or just go to bed to watch your friends and enjoy Phoebe Buffy’s quirks . When I first met you, I realized that you refused to stop until you had done all the work you were supposed to do.

I met up with friends, went out to dinner, had impromptu meetings, last minute trips, late night calls, video calls, sometimes just calling to see my pets. However, over the course of a year we became best friends, and gradually I felt that I became more open. My friends came home, came to my room and said that no one would move from there until I decided to leave.

I met my friend at dinner and the time went by so quickly that it felt like five minutes had passed. We only met when one of my closest friends found me something to eat and apologized for not being able to attend the meal.

And I’m glad that it is, because it would be very difficult to find another friend like her. It’s hard to find the same energy with someone because we all have different personality traits. I hope everyone has a person/friend or loved one they can always rely on.

These quotes come from people we know who walk the talk when it comes to making life worthwhile. They show what it’s like to meet someone with a quick and undeniable connection.

I am happy that whenever I go somewhere, I am obliged to write to you as soon as I arrive. She explained: “You spend your whole life stuck in the Labyrinth, thinking about how to get out of it one day and imagining that the future will stop you from going, but you never do.

Intuition And Business

It gives us helpful advice and helps us make decisions quickly and easily, giving us crystal clear mental clarity that takes the stress out of knowing which path to take for our business. By relying on your intuition to make difficult decisions, you can combine your logic and intuition in powerful and bold ways. Get quick and easy results in your business by improving your intuition. This book is a business intuition assistant and not only does it explain the power of using intuition in your business, it also helps you develop your intuitive senses by providing you with practical actions you can take to use and trust your intuition.

If you ignore your business intuition, you may find it difficult to make decisions. While business owners, CEOs, and other business leaders tend to trust their instincts, this may not be the best way to make truly important decisions. The main reason is that strategic business decisions tend to be made in a competitive and unpredictable environment where the same decisions will not lead to the same results.

This is the opposite of rational decision making, where people use analysis, facts, and a step-by-step process to make a decision. Since we cannot know the right choice until a decision has been made and all the results have been revealed, the responsibility for making a decision seems even more serious. Without “records,” many business decisions must be made quickly and without historical support.

“With all the advances in analytics tools and big data, many people feel that there is no place for intuition and flair in business today. Decades ago, I may have thought otherwise, but over the years. that intuition can be just another tool in the business tool belt Over the years I have changed my mind and believe that intuition can be just another tool in the business tool belt.

A good definition of intuition is “the direct perception of truth or facts, independent of any process of reasoning; it is a direct grasp or a sharp and rapid penetration into something. The definition of intuition is “the direct perception of truth or facts, independent of any process of reasoning; it is a direct understanding or a sharp and quick understanding of something.

Intuition is the feeling of knowing what is right to do instinctively, without the need for conscious reasoning. Intuition is unique in that it links the emotional response of instinct to the intellectual response of analysis.

It is possible to use intuition to succeed in business, and many leaders attribute at least part of their success to intuition. So it turns out that using your business intuition will give you better results. Following your gut may seem like a gentle way to get things done, but it’s far from it.

To actually use your intuition productively, you need to do some serious work up front. Here are three ways to prepare to use the most powerful decision-making tool in business. To use your intuition, you first need to know who you are and what you want from life.

The more you can build a foundation of trusting your intuition, the better it will be able to make the right decisions time and time again. In business, it may be partly innate, partly acquired through years of experience, and can be quickly exploited. Developing this decision-making ability is one of the most important activities of business leaders.

“Intuition must accompany every decision to minimize possible short-term negative consequences if the best long-term outcomes are expected. Now, to be clear, we don’t recommend throwing numbers out the window and doing whatever you want with your heart. Eager…but we say that using a combination of logic and intuition can help you make the most powerful business decisions. Here are three steps you can take to implement an intuitive decision. Now let’s look at some business intelligence examples and see how you can use this Three sources of information make decisions.

By asking yourself these 7 questions, you will be able to hone your intuition so that you can better hear your inner feelings and make faster decisions in the future. It is not hard to find supporters or quotes from business men and women about following your intuition or trusting your intuition. However, there is one element of business that seems to take a backseat… intuition.

Remember that in the battle of logic and intuition, numbers only tell part of the story. In a world so dependent on numbers, companies seem to be forgetting the most important fact. In fact, 40% of executives say they still make intuitive decisions despite having access to deep business data.

The truth is that the conditions for intuitive experience are rarely found in an interview situation, in which case intuition should be taken for granted. Cecilia Young, a Canadian coach with 25 years of experience in business functions, reiterates the view that many C-suite directors use intuition when making decisions and either don’t know it or don’t talk about it too much for fear of being overruled. laugh. . The premise of the Yengs process is that people already have the answers, and by using the methods of reason and intuition, they will be able to see far beyond the abundance of information available in the external environment.

His research has shown that intuition is best used when entrepreneurs are faced with difficult or risky decisions where more information won’t make the choice easier. Researcher and associate professor Laura Huang found that entrepreneurs who make better decisions based on their intuition recognize that their instincts are based on objective and subjective information they already have. They also understand that intuition is not fast, impulsive and emotional. While they feel comfortable talking about it, it turns out that’s not usually the case in the corporate world.

You most likely won’t focus on your client’s problems, so when you help others, you can trust your instincts instead of solving your own problems. If you use your intuition to make decisions at a higher level, you will get rid of many decisions that need to be made at a lower level.

I think intuition is tangent, not waiting for what others say or making decisions based on results from other companies. In business, every time I go against my instincts and get into situations that don’t seem right to me, everything goes wrong.

Importance of Education

Education plays a very significant role in the individual’s life. It not only imparts knowledge in the person but also builds their character, personality, opinions and intellect which by default comes with the education. It is a weapon to improve one’s life.


Above all, the most important thing which education does that it provides employment to people. By making them literate, it provides a platform on which they can use their skill and knowledge and with that also earn their livelihood. Uneducated people then become the hugely disadvantaged group as they will not be able to get as high paying job as the educated ones. They will have to do basic work which obviously will not involve a huge amount of money. So, in that case it becomes very crucial to be educated.


With education, people can communicate also better. It will refine and polish the speech of an individual, inculcate new ideas and much more. It enables the individuals to give their speech more effectively and efficiently. They are able to explain their point of views and opinions in a clearer manner. Basically, it will make it look like that whatever has been said is by a mature and intellectual person which is in fact true with the educated people. It makes the person mature and intellectual by opening gates to the arena of new ideas and the knowledge. It also brings sophistication and discipline with all of this into the one’s life. Discipline in a way that one realize the value of time of money. He knows that it is something precious and start respecting that. Not only his own, but he also respect others time and money. He starts valuing everything because he has went through it. He knows how difficult it is to earn money and make time.


With education, people become up to date with the technology prevailing in the society. Since, to keep up with their knowledge, they have to know all the means and ways which can lead to a better understanding of skills and form opinions. So, in this case technical skills is what comes gradually with that because people have to use google and gain information.


Apart from the individual’s benefits, there are perks and benefits that one provides to the society also when he becomes educated. When he employs himself and earn money in that order, it increases the GDP of the country. Major part of the society comes out from the crunch of poverty because people now can feed themselves and live their life in a proper manner. There is also the innovation in the technology because more the education, more the development. Not only development happens in the technology but there is a development in all the sectors of the economy ranging from food and manufacturing sector to the complex defence sector. As it happens, education spreads in the society and also gives motivation to other people to attain education.


Therefore, it can be right to conclude with the fact that education brings a lot of perks, benefits and advantages. Not only self’s development but society is also benefitted at large. So, in today’s times education is a requirement and not a choice and everyone should pursue that.

PROCRASTINATION

“While we waste our time hesitating and postponing, life is slipping away.”
— Seneca

Procrastination refers to the act of delaying or postponing work as late as possible, or past their cut-off time. A few specialists characterize procrastination as a “type of self-guideline failure portrayed by the irrational delay of undertakings regardless of possibly unfortunate results.

Procrastination is one of the primary obstructions hindering you from getting up, settling on the ideal choices and carrying on with the fantasy life you’ve considered. Recent investigations have shown that individuals regret more the things they haven’t done than the things they have done. Likewise, sensations of disappointment and guilt coming out because of missed open doors will generally remain with individuals significantly longer.

Some of the time every one of our chances appear to be on our fingertips, however we apparently can’t reach them. At the point when you procrastinate, you sit around, wasting time that you could be putting resources into something significant. Assuming you can defeat this wild adversary, you will be able to accomplish more and in doing so better utilize the potential that life has to offer. We currently realize that the present reality is helpful for stalling and figuring out how to defeat it is, in this manner, one of the main abilities you can master.

WHY EVERYONE PROCRASTINATE?

Decision paralysis: with more opportunity to settle on our own choices and to play out our activities, we have become easily confused with regards to what is fundamentally important, what is fundamental and what isn’t, and with what is good and bad, and in this way, we have become demotivated to do anything by any means. We really need to sort out our qualities and individual vision and should develop our positive habits. This is the fundamental thing that can assist us with conquering procrastination as well as the wide range of various difficulties that life brings.

Overlooking The Value of Time: The time we spend on Earth is both restricted and limited. Considering these realities, time is the most significant item you have. It’s not cash; dissimilar to time, you can acquire cash, save, or procure more. You can’t do that with time. Each and every subsequent you waste is gone for eternity. The simple acknowledgment that life is limited leads individuals to start dealing with their time more cautiously. It makes you contemplate how you might preferably want to invest your energy on Earth.

Absence of self-control: You can envision self-control or discipline as a second when you provide yourself orders, however you are struggling after them. It isn’t the essential driver of procrastination, yet entirely a significant compound. To be focused, you really want to have the right kind of inspiration and figure out how to keep up with and work on certain propensities.

NEGATIVE IMPACT

It is just in situations where procrastination becomes constant and starts to truly affect an individual’s day to day routine that it turns into a more difficult issue. In such occurrences, it’s not simply a question of having helpless time usage abilities, it’s a significant piece of their way of life. Maybe they take care of their bills late, don’t begin work on huge ventures until the night prior to the cut-off time, defer present shopping until the day preceding a birthday, and even document their annual expense forms late.

Sadly, this delaying can truly affect various life regions, including an individual’s psychological wellness and social, proficient, and monetary prosperity:

  • More significant levels of pressure and sickness
  • Increased burden on friendly connections
  • Resentment from companions, family, associates, and individual understudies
  • Outcomes of delinquent bills and annual assessment forms

TIPS

Make a daily agenda: To assist with keeping you on target, consider setting a due date close to everything.

Make child strides: Break down the things on your list into little, reasonable and manageable steps with the goal that your work s don’t appear to be so overpowering.

Perceive the warning signs: Pay regard for any thoughts of procrastination and put forth an effort to fight the urge. If you start to think about procrastination, compel yourself to spend time dealing with your undertaking.

Kill interruption: Ask yourself what pulls your consideration away the most-whether Instagram, Facebook refreshes, or the neighbourhood news-and turn off those sources of interruption.

Applaud yourself: When you finish a thing on your plan for the day on schedule, praise yourself and prize yourself by enjoying something you see as fun.

LACK OF EDUCATION

Education is the movement from darkness to light.

                                                                               -Allan Bloom

We as people should understand the advantages of education, Humans who are lesser educated carry on with more limited lives than the individuals who are taught more, such age gaps are an immense misfortune for individuals and the country, chronic weakness prompts disturbance in work which for sure prompts chronic weakness of the individual and his family and it even hampers the financial development of a country.

Absence of financial education creates issues for the youthful age, they never figure out how to oversee funds and they reach a financial dead end and thus it results in no investment funds. Absence of education is additionally the justification behind the increment in the populace and blind faith. In India female feticide actually exists since they thought about a burden to their parents. Blind beliefs which exist in our nation are an exceptionally huge test to our nation and there is just a single method for handling it that is by giving education to the people who need it. Worth of education in our general public is high as the worthy can’t get to it.

In developed and developing nations the same, kids don’t approach fundamental education due to disparities that begin in sex, wellbeing and social person (ethnic beginning, language, religion). These children wind up on the edges of the education framework and don’t profit from discovering that is vital for their scholarly and social turn of events. However, the way that imbalance in sex and social character exist on the grounds that individuals engaged with these are not instructed, this is why education is important for teenagers.

One more impact of the absence of education is the surge in crime percentage. This year, India was considered as one of the nations on the planet where the crime percentage builds yearly. Young people are being presented to wrongdoings like taking medications and carrying out murder. Education in underdeveloped nations is profoundly costly as most of individuals can’t manage the cost of such costly Education so just rich individuals get an education and rule over the needy individuals and afterward the pattern of slavery proceeds in a deliberate manner. There are a ton of issues with the education framework in non-industrial nations, some are absence of foundation, orientation issues, nature of education, reserves and the purpose of education today is more on remembering arrangements than getting them, poverty and absence of education go hand in hand and poverty is one of the fundamental motivations behind why youngsters are not taught.

SOLUTION

Our instructors should be trained how to show kids from various age groups, it’s one of the principal issues, and this should change as they essentially grasp the responsibility of holding the destiny of future generation in their hands.

Poverty in India is a significant issue, new plans should be adopted to protect the eventual fate of kids from low-pay families, and Infrastructure should be improvised particularly in government schools as understudies from low-pay family’s study there. Development in the education area should include all the segments of society like rural, urban, women, backward classes, etc.  The worth of education in our general public is high and the ones who need it can’t get to it.

Separate schools for the individuals who are physically and mentally challenged should be open; this might have the option to guarantee a superior future for them. The vast majority of the tests in India like CAT JEE center more around memorizing solutions rather than understanding them, students should figure out how to be imaginative and should be educated to get solution. Guardians should comprehend the Benefits of education and should urge their youngsters to get instructed as this will guarantee a bright future not exclusively to their kids however in any event, for our country.
