Today, we will be focusing on learning how to learn. If you knew how to learn smarter, faster and better, then you could apply to that to everything. Here is method which is FAST method to learn any thing faster, smarter and for maybe a lifetime. This method was developed by Jim Kwik. FAST is an acronym in which F stands for Forget, A stands for Active, S stands for State and T stands for Teach. Here’s How it goes-

1.F is for Forget-

The Key to laser focus is to not let the thoughts distract you. Before studying forget what you already know about the subject, Start from the scratch to learn that again, because what we think we already know keeps us from learning new things. If there are thoughts which keep distracting you while learning then try to write them on a page and keep that page aside then start studying or whatever your work is.

2.A is for Active-

Traditional Education has made people think that Learning is a Passive Action which shows us that You are required to sit in a class and absorb all the information that is presented and taught by the teacher to you But this is not the case, Instead Learning is more of an Active experience. Try to become more active in your learning sessions.

3. S is for State-

All Learning is state-dependent and it all depends upon your state if you will learn something properly or not. For Example, If you are feeling motivated and Happy then there are chances you will remember what you learn for Longer Periods. On the Contrary, If You are feeling Depressed and sad then chances are forget about remembering you would not even like to study. SO, Ask yourself this How can I improve my mood? Improving mood can be done by just 5 minutes of exercise, Deep breathing or sitting with a straight back while studying.

4.T is for Teach-

This is the last step of the 4 step approach you need to do. Whatever You have learned by following the above 3 steps, Try to teach it to someone, it could be your friend or classmate, If there is no one then try to Teach it to an Imaginary class or a friend. This will help a lot and Various Researches have shown the effect of teaching what you have learned to some one has a positive effect on the memory.

CONCLUSION

Applying the above steps in your learning Process will surely help you learn smarter, faster, and for longer periods. Only Learning is not sufficient, Instead you should take Action with the knowledge you have learned. Otherwise, it won’t serve any Purpose if it is just in your memory, Teach it to others, Experiment with it and always have a learning and doing attitude in your Life.

Sport is a Passion for Players, not a Business.”―Professor M.S. Rao, Ph.D.

“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair.” —Nelson Mandela

Political interference in sports is resulting in poor performance in India. At times the selection of sportspersons is based on favoritism and nepotism. Additionally, there is corruption in sports and bribes in the selection process. Such things prevent passionate players from entering into sports. There are instances where the key members of the committee reject the dedicated and competent sportspersons due to ego, gender, and other reasons. The silver lining over the dark cloud in Indian sports is the inspiring contribution by sportswomen including Mary Kom and P.V. Sindhu. They rose when odds were stacked against them with their consistent performance and became a role model for others. Here are some measures to be taken to encourage talented sportspersons. Hire the selection committee based on their experience with an ethical background. Encourage the sportspersons who are passionate, dedicated, hardworking and raise their bar constantly. Ensure transparency in the selection of players. Check political interference in the selection procedure. Offer financial and non-financial incentives to the winners.

Career Opportunities in Sports
Sports build both hard and soft skills. Hard skills help the players become competent individually while soft skills help them become competent collectively to win the game. There are innumerable opportunities for sportspersons. Here are some of them. They can have a better lifestyle. They can network with eminent personalities across the industries and the world. They can become celebrities. They can become brand ambassadors and earn money by endorsing brands. They can become coaches in the long run and set up their training academies to encourage budding players. Above all, they can make a difference in society by founding nonprofits and adding value to the communities.
Sports and Women Empowerment

Sports is no more a man’s domain. With the success of many Indian sportswomen sports have become open to all. Sports empower women to dream and achieve big in their life. It improves their economic status and enhances career opportunities. It serves as a platform to brand themselves. Above all, it helps in achieving gender equality. Hence, encourage sports for women globally.
Remember that sport is a passion for players, not a business. Let hundred incompetent sportspersons enter into the sport but no competent sportsperson be denied the opportunity to enter, excel and bring laurels to the nation. Jai Hind.

Regionalism

By – Supriya

Regionalism stands for ‘ the feeling of love and loyalty towards a particular region or an area in preference to the nation or any other region’. Regionalism just like Communalism is such a conservative and parochial sentiment that it can blind people to larger , broader requirements and needs of the Nation . In a country like India where language , customs, traditions , costumes etc change every half a kilometre , regionalism , if not seen properly into national fabric , can put wrinkles on its unity and integrity. Earlier these voices got subdued under the clarion call of country ‘ s independence. But with the birth of India as an individual nation and with the creation of Pakistan , such hushed voices have suddenly become more pronounced. Three major factors contribute to the rise of regionalism. Firstly, regional inequalities have been responsible for this problem to some extent because the economic development has been differential . Some areas are more developed than the others. Therefore, it gives rise to the feeling of being left out from the mainstream. Secondly, even linguistic differences play a vital role in this regard . Language corresponds with culture, tradition and literature. In India, such primordial loyalties actually outdo national loyalties. Thirdly, the most unfortunate factor that intensifies the problem of regionalism is the political factor . Unfortunately, who have encouraged regionalism for their own vested interest of staying in power.
The first demand right after independence and partition was of a separate state for Telugu speaking people. A little spark gave rise to an infinite chain reaction of petty demands for separate identity . The result was – at the time of independence there were 11 provinces that are today divided into 28 States and 7 Union Territories . The tribals demand for Jharkhand , Uttarakhand, Udayachal, Chhattisgarh, Telangana – the list is endless. This kind of an unwanted tendency could have been checked by promoting national unity and integrity , keeping in mind the history of the country. But the selfish Ulterior motives of a few politicians have actually and successfully resulted in further disintegration of the nation with the creation of new states. Instead of focusing on the progress and development of the nation in an era where the entire world has shrunk to a global village, we are still quarreling with our own people over creating new spaces. This compartmentalized mentality is a great setback to national integration and unity. Sadly, it has become a permanent feature of our political system. In our federal society, regionalism to some extent is unavoidable and natural but to cash upon love of people to their region in bargain for power is definitely not acceptable. Probably our constitution makers feared that such tendencies would pose a serious threat to our country and therefore provided for a strong centre.
We have tried to overcome the obstacles of regionalism . Yet a lot needs to be done in volatile situations of Jammu and Kashmir , and the north – east. Keeping in mind the various contributing factors and our blotted history, the government should try to adopt a constructive approach in order to neutralize such tendencies towards factionalism and parochialism and frame policies to create balance and harmony in all regions through economic , political and social development ,in order to promote National Unity and Integrity.

THANKYOU!

The Fear of the Unknown

You woke up and you decided to choose fear. A fear that overcame you every time you decided on doing something exceptional or exiting or different from the usual. That fear even scared your shadow in doing something uncanny and that fear was so strong that you didn’t even get the time to regret what you just did. That fear made you take stupid decisions like, rejecting the people who love you or not being able to perform even the simplest of tasks or just loosing contact with everything that was beautiful in the world including the human beings you wanted to be yours. And finally when you got hold of your surroundings, of your real self again it was too late.

It was too late to say sorry, to say that you were out of your senses because you were not, you were under the spell of your own fear and that made you go for a wrong life decision. You fought well for yourself, with yourself, but you never recognised that the need was to fight the devil called unknown fear. You lost in your game, in your own life and you thought that fear of uncertainty will leave you once you could make things better or normal again but you were wrong all along. For you were not to make things okay but you were to get rid of the fear but you failed. This failure in leaving the fear behind, got you to the failure in life and even when you tried you just lost the sparkle you once owned.

It must have been disheartening for you losing it to the fear of the unknown but did that fear actually broke your heart? Or did it just get you an ache that you could not forget? You tried getting busy in the worldly pleasures only to come home to an empty room or rather a room full of despair, disappointment and rejection. That room you wished for to be filled with fragrance of flowers of your honesty, fruits of your true nature but rather there was just fear that smelled delicious to you then. You attempted and looked outside of the window seeking any light, some light of hope or optimism to teach you how to live without fear but in that moment you rather accepted defeat for you didn’t see any beam of positivity.

When your world came to a standstill for the ills you had performed or all the actions you had been proud of you believed it to be the new normal. You accepted that you had lost at life and just then, you saw what you had been waiting to see. You saw the end of the tunnel, it was not close, not near enough to even have a clear view but you knew it was there. You felt it. You finally felt the pressure being dropped off your chest, you felt lighter, much lighter than you had ever been in your life, you felt free. You assumed it to be the new beginning, a fresh start without the baggage of the past, of the fear but you were proven wrong, again, by the witch of words. The words you had hoped would clear your sky for you, didn’t tidy up even the slightest of your discomfort but rather brought you back to the starting of the tunnel, for this time the fear was even stronger than before and you were losing it all again.

You believed you stood an opportunity to make things right, but it was a thorny path to follow. The path where you knew everything, where there was no uncertainty but rather you were well versed with every inch of it. There you saw your beam again and you thought you were just in time to grab it, that finally you would be free and liberated from all the struggles you faced, from the sense of regret that hit you once in a while, but just when you were about to catch it, its tail slipped your hand and you saw it going away from you, this time forever, for you were again in the same pothole, where even if you try hard you fell again and again for you knew it was the hole of the fear of the unknown and no matter how hard you tried you were not able to leave it all behind, leave it all in the past and that’s the reason why you still live without what you asked for but with the fear of the unknown.

All You Need to Know About SEO

 These days, almost any user can launch a website within a few hours. No technical expertise is needed. Users can easily upload particular software on a server and run it. In several minutes, they will get a live site with an easy-to-use dashboard. All that users need to do is update the content and upload their media files.

 

Unfortunately, there is one drawback that most novices in web development don’t know about. In most cases, users who launch websites wonder why no people enter them. Unfortunately, all new websites launched by newbies get buried on the 10th or even 100th page in Google search. However, SEO can help put them on the first page and attract a lot of visits from the Internet for free. 

What Is SEO in a Nutshell?

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. In a nutshell, it’s the process of enhancing a website. According to Google algorithms, only the best sites deserve to appear on the first page. They need to offer an outstanding user experience and meet the search intent of users. Google evaluates sites by exploring tons of different factors. Websites that get the best results appear on the first page and attract many users for free. 

 

In case you know nothing about SEO, you’re at the right place. Keep reading the post and discover the basics of search engine optimization to help you create a successful online project.

Crucial SEO Factors

Google and other search engines evaluate sites with the help of crawl robots. These algorithms reach all sites on the Internet and examine them thoroughly to determine which ones are the best. Unfortunately, the way the algorithms work is a secret that search engines don’t reveal. However, the developers regularly share information about the crucial factors that affect SEO by publishing their algorithm updates. By improving each factor, users can optimize their site and get them to hit at SERPs (search engine result pages).

Content is the king. It’s a statement that all marketers know. Indeed, content is the primary SEO factor that crawl robots check. The best sites that appear on the first page deliver the best content. The articles that users find online should 100% satisfy their search request. Unfortunately, the algorithms cannot read articles and understand the messages delivered. To help robots understand the sense of articles, writers need to integrate keywords seamlessly. Keywords are particular phrases that help describe the content. Users need to research keywords online by using different tools. Google Keyword Planners is the most popular one. It helps find the best key phrases that have a high search volume and low competition for free. 

 

It’s required to pick only relevant phrases to optimize the content on your site. For instance, if you want to create a website similar to the essay hub reviews to keep students safe from writing services that deliver poor-quality papers, you need to pick reviews that students will use in search. They need to describe the type of content as precisely as possible. Note, Google algorithms can detect keyword stuffing, which can cause negative consequences.

#434343;font-family: Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;font-weight: normal;line-height: 21.466665267944336px;margin: 16pt 0cm 4pt;text-align: justify">On-Page SEO

On-page SEO optimization refers to improving a site to make it more attractive for users and crawl robots. There are a lot of factors that need to be remembered to make a website considered good by algorithms. For starters, it’s needed to ensure that a website is crawlable. Sometimes, Google algorithms are not able to access sites to index them. These days, it’s required to install an SSL certificate to establish an encrypted user-site connection. Google down-ranks insecure websites these days. Besides, an SSL connection is the main requirement if a website requests personal information and payment details.

 

Also, sites need to load fast because users hate waiting to get the content uploaded. Ideally, a website needs to be loaded in less than a second. The site loading speed depends on the backend code, server performance, and size of media content. It can be improved by paying attention to these factors. Also, modern websites should work great on smartphones because most traffic comes from mobile devices. Sites that are not optimized well for mobile devices are likely to get down-ranked. Nevertheless, there are also a lot of other factors that should be considered.

Google up-ranks sites that are considered the most credible sources of information. For instance, algorithms consider the number of times a particular website is cited as a source of information. Also, they consider social signals and the reviews of people online. Google crawl robots check domain names, traffic that a site attracts, etc. To increase a site’s trustworthiness, site owners need to establish PR campaigns to increase the number of backlinks from other sites.

Tips to Submit Your Essay on Time

 One of the main drawbacks of every assignment is that it has to be submitted upon a particular deadline. In order not to overdue their papers, students ought to have great time management skills. Unfortunately, not all of them manage to get their essays done on time. If you’re an undergraduate who always struggles to get your homework completed upon a deadline, find the best tips from the post below. They will help you avoid spending sleepless nights upon the deadlines to get your college papers submitted on time. Also, the recommendations will help you increase your performance and academic achievements.

Plan Essay Writing Thoroughly

Indeed, the primary step to getting your essay submitted upon a deadline is to harness your time. A lot of students have zero enthusiasm to do their homework. They would rather play video games or hassle with friends. Also, some learners may be bothered by many responsibilities that leave no time to work hard on writing an essay. Consequently, they postpone their homework to the last moment. In some cases, they don’t leave plenty of time in their schedules to get their homework done on time, so they need to read the essay writing services review to find a reliable platform that helps students tackle last-minute assignments. 

 

To overdue your essay, you need to plan the entire workflow right after receiving an assignment. For starters, you need to batch the workflow on major parts and set time frames for each of them. Then, you have to allocate plenty of time for research, writing, and proofreading. These are the major essay composing steps. Nevertheless, it’s also recommended to have some spare time in your schedule if any unexpected issues occur. For instance, if an electricity outbreak won’t allow you to finalize your essay on time, you won’t be required to request an extension. In such a case, you will have enough time to get the job done upon a deadline. 

Create an Outline

After arranging your schedule, you have to plan your essay. To create a well-thought-out paper and not miss any crucial detail, you must compose a thorough outline. Also, it’s recommended to add notes to every chapter, so you won’t need to keep everything in your mind. Having an outline created, you will be able to compose your essay faster. All you will be required to do is follow the plan in your paper and complete it step-by-step. In addition, a detailed outline will help you write your essay without any interruptions. You won’t be required to stop trying to develop new ideas and arrange them in your essay properly. Therefore, it will increase the performance significantly. 

Increase Writing Performance

High writing performance is key to an essay submitted on time. In case you learn to tackle your assignments fast, the question, “Who can help me do my homework?” won’t appear in your head. Even if you’re a learner who works part-time or has a lot of other responsibilities, essay writing won’t bother you if you have a great performance. Find the top recommendations on how to get your assignments completed faster down below.

It’s an undeniable fact that a lot of people can hardly focus on particular tasks. Students are not an exception. The truth is that essay writing doesn’t engage them, so learners always seek any possible distractions. For instance, they may pick their smartphones every 15 minutes to check the news and chat with their mates. Working with a computer, they may watch YouTube videos in the background that draw their attention and significantly decrease productivity. Therefore, you have to get rid of any possible distractions. Feel free to put your smartphone in a drawer and install app-blocking software on your desktop. It won’t allow you to open any entertainment apps or sites to get dedicated to essay writing.

Don’t be shy about using them to tackle your assignments faster and get rid of any possible mistakes. For example, there are a lot of advanced spell checkers that help writers compose error-free papers. Also, such tools offer suggestions on how to improve readability and the quality of writing. In case you’re short on time, you can start using a text editor that erases the entire text if a writer remains inactive during a particular amount of time. It will force you to write an essay as fast as you can without any interruptions. To avoid wasting your time on creating citations, following particular standards, you can use online tools. Fortunately, there are a lot of sites that help generate citations in one click. They will help you save a lot of time and boost your writing performance significantly.

6 BENEFITS OF PAY MONTHLY WEBSITES

Unlike many agencies or website designers, Beyond Your Brand offer a pay monthly website service without any upfront costs. We call this ‘Website as a Service’. If you are considering investing in a new website or you’re not completely happy with your current website, then a pay monthly model could be for you. Here are some of the key benefits.


1. NO UPFRONT COSTS

Whichever model you prefer, a website should be considered an investment. After all, it is your shop window to the world. A good alternative to the standard model, where a web designer or an agency would quote an upfront cost for designing and building your site, is a pay monthly model. This can free up valuable cashflow, especially important if you are a young business finding your feet. When everything is wrapped up in a monthly fee, similar to a mobile phone contract where you get the phone, calls, texts and data, you can easily plan and stay within your budgets.

2. ONGOING SERVICE

A key benefit of a pay monthly option is the fact that it ensures an ongoing service. Unfortunately, many companies fall into a trap of paying upfront for a website and then having to negotiate a price for support when they encounter a problem or when they need to get their site updated. A pay monthly service model means that it is in the interests of your website hosting company to provide ongoing support and advice so that you do not consider leaving. It puts the onus on the service and not just the ‘product’.

3. CONTINUED SUPPORT

Support is a vital part of any web hosting. What happens if your web-site goes down? What protection to you have from online hackers? How is your website backed up? If you had to restore an old version of your site, how far back would you have to go? These are all important considerations. When you invest in a pay monthly websites, ongoing support should be part of the agreement. If you choose a web hosting company with excellent support, not only do you get their expertise, you buy yourself peace of mind.

4. INCREASED VISIBILITY AND RANKINGS

A common mistake that some businesses make is to invest a lot of money in a shiny new website and expect it to perform from day one. Unfortunately, many web-designers only care about the look and feel of the sites they build, and once it is handed over and paid for, they are not incentivised to help the site reach larger audiences. Ongoing Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is a long term investment, but there are some fundamental elements when building a new website, that should be considered and can make a real difference to online visibility. How is the site structured? How do you provide a user with easy navigation to the pages that they want to look at? How do you let the likes of Google and other search engines know what your pages are about, so that they can match your pages with the searches that people are making?
Another key element of improving your rankings is to regularly update your site with fresh new content, such as blogs, videos, case studies and testimonials. If you find a web-design agency who offers a pay monthly option, then ensure that they allow you an easy way to update your site, or better still, find an agency that will do it for you as part of the monthly service.

5. KEEP ON TOP OF LATEST TRENDS AND DESIGNS

It is a good idea to keep your website fresh, vibrant and on-trend. Just like a high-street fashion store that will change their window on a regular basis to attract new visitors, your website should also keep up with latest trends so that it can attract the customers that you want. So, make sure that if you agree to a pay monthly service provider that they allow you to completely refresh your site from time to time.

6. GIVE YOURSELF MORE TIME TO FOCUS ON YOUR BUSINESS

When you are running a business, your to-do list is never completely blank. There is always something that you could be doing. This is one of the major reasons websites get neglected. They never quite make it to the top of the priority list. Pay monthly website service providers may offer you the ability to regularly update your website. Rather than having to upskill yourself to write code or decipher content management systems, your provider may simply offer to do it for you as part of the package. This will save you valuable time and will give you the ability to focus on other important aspects of your business.
Pen2Print offer a leading pay monthly website package. For one simple monthly payment, we will design and build your site in consultation with you. We will securely host your site in a UK data centre and maintain regular backups. We will set up a call with one of our SEO experts to give you advice that will help you maximise your initial SEO. We will allow you to make 6 changes to your site, each and every month and after two years, you will be entitled to a complete refresh of your site. All of this for a monthly fee of £100 with no upfront costs and no long term contracts.

Scourge of Illiteracy in India

By – Supriya

With India on the verge of being the most populous country, the only gizmo that can decide the country ‘s fate now is education. Education alone possesses the power to convert the population of 1.21 billion Indians from liability to assets. Today, human asset is the most valuable and prized resource. The dire need is to provide the requisite skills to transform it’s masses into massive working force. The first step towards the arduous but rewarding journey is literacy – the ability to read and write with understanding . While the country boasts of its IT revolution the world over and churns out world – class software professionals and engineers , it is disgraceful that 1/4 th of the country is still illiterate. Today, India’s literacy level is well below the world average literacy rate of 84% . In comparison to other nations , India ‘ s education program is lagging far behind other nations and currently India has the largest illiterate population of any nation on the earth. According to 2011 census, literacy rate of India is 74.04% . Moreover, a wide gender disparity in the literacy rate can be observed as literacy rate for men was 82.14% , in comparison to 65.46% for women. The low female literacy rate in turn directly affects family planning and population stabilization efforts.
Although over the years, the country’s literacy rate has improved manifold , yet with the level far below the world average literacy, much is left desired. India ‘ s ten states and union Territories , including Kerela , Lakshadweep , Mizoram , Tripura ,Goa, Daman and Diu, Puducherry , Chandigarh , National Capital Territory of Delhi and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands , have attained literacy rate of above 85% , but states like Bihar, Jharkhand , Jammu and Kashmir and Uttar Pradesh faint in comparison. While Kerela has the highest literacy rate at 93.91% followed by Lakshadweep at 92.28%, Bihar is at the lowest rung of the ladder with literacy rate of 63.82% followed by Arunachal Pradesh at 66.95% . It is an anomaly that Bihar , which gives large number of Civil Servants to the country, houses a vast population that cannot even read and write! Illiterate parents and parental attitudes , rampant corruption in Bihar ‘ s political and governmental setup to sustain reign by keeping the public illiterate and unaware , poor infrastructure , poor educational initiatives and rising population forms a vicious circle of non – progress and illiteracy. Presently, India faces many hiccups that are an impediment to our desired literacy rate. Those living in rural areas are the biggest victims as rural schools operate in extremely poor conditions . While the lack of teachers creates many obstacles for children in rural schools , another setback is the lack of resources which becomes detrimental to the learning process. Lack of books and other reading materials ; lack of proper infrastructure , basic amenities like toilets and electricity are other major problems. Besides , the availability of high – tech devices such as computers is extremely rare.
In this regard, the government has taken a number of initiatives to provide free education programs to poor people living in villages and towns through setting up new schools and colleges. Several Committees have been formed to ensure optimal utilisation of funds to improve literacy rate. 21000 Crore has been allocated in the 2011 budget for Sarv Shiksha Abhiyan to accelerate the literacy drive in India . Through judicious use of allocated amount , the fortifying scale and the requisite quality of primary education can be achieved. Literacy in India is a key to socio – economic development as it initiatives awareness in people to work towards a better living. It is thus a starting point for modernization , urbanization , industrialization growth and commerce and advanced communication . To build a nation with strong social , economic and political foundation , Literacy is indispensable.

The Perfect Body

All day all night we hear people talk how important it is to have a healthy body and heart. How companies market their products on the prospect of delivering a healthy and fit body, mind and heart. But all these advertisement, marketing etc, are they really about the healthy body? Or are they only about the perfect body? The body which is popularly accepted and appreciated view of a healthy body is taken as the perfect body. Ever since the beginning of the human life, individuals have been involved in various physical activities not just to feed them self but also to stay healthy and fit and in this light the GYM culture was born. But as time progressed and humans got an understanding of beauty and gorgeous body they started with the obsession of having and making other people know about their perfect body. This obsession could be more dangerous than any other addiction.

Bollywood Influence=

As beings grow up and realise that the bollywood culture is all about the body that could serve as the apt body for a dancer, a model, an actor, they start struggling for this body. The bollywood influences not only the perspective a person has about overall aspect of perfect body but also they serve as the base for the self complex that people face after they find out that getting the perfect body isn’t a true reality but sometimes rather a myth. The actors toil hard in getting their shape right for all the right reasons of portraying their best selves but as they devote their entire time for it, it might look effortless to achieve. But when individuals fail in getting near to that perfect body they start hating themselves and end up with their worst self, not physically but mentally.

Societal Pressures=

However blaming bollywood for every other thing isn’t the goal. But rather is to highlight the fact that bollywood gets its movies from the society around and hence, it is actually the society that manifests a type of body as the perfect body. We see older men and women commenting mercilessly on the younger generations’ body and eating habits. Though correcting them for their wrongs might be okay sometimes but completely rejecting their bodies for they do not serve rightly on their perception of perfect body is erroneous. They body shame not the ones who are overweight or underweight but even the one who discard their standard of beauty and perfectness. The uncles and aunties in the mask of wanting the welfare of the children of their ‘family’ stoop low to another level.

Self love=

Today with people coming out with their stories of distress and anxiety because of the kind of body they have, many organisations and individuals have been promoting the values of body positivity and self love. Body positivity is about accepting who you are and loving thee body as god made it. Though exercising might help in increasing stamina and keeping you happy and healthy but body positivity is about exercising with the love for the body and not the hate, it is about working out for own happiness and not because our body is flawed. Self love is actually the key to the perfect body- a body that is healthy, free of diseases, with a happy heart and liberated mind.

Corruption in India

By – Supriya

While India is at the threshold of becoming superpower , the rising GDP and the process of the country is getting eaten by the corrupt leeches of the country. Today , the common man is not only shocked but disgusted at the series of scams unfolding everyday – 2G Spectrum Scam , Common wealth Games Scam- the list is shamefully endless. An average Indian citizen is hard working and diligent, but a multi – thousand crore scam fumes a tax – payer as he feels heartbroken and cheated for his valued contribution of funds towards the development and well- being of the nation.

Political and bureaucratic corruption in India is the cause of major concern today. From brides to political maneuvering to misuse of authority to scandals – the average Indian daily finds himself struggling in the cobweb of political graft. The in – charge of the system, the so – called sarkari Babus, with whom the power lays, are spreading the venom of corruption , and abusing their political power at all levels. The 2G scandal scam worth ₹1.76 – lakh crore tops the list. At the heart of this scam is the former Telecom minister A Raja who evaded norms at every level as he dubiously, issued 2G licences to private telecom players in 2008 at throwaway prices of 2001. While issuing licences, rules and procedures were flouted for bribes and personal gains.

Another major scandal hit India when the great sporting bonanza, Commonwealth Games 2010, was rather turned into a playfield of frauds, deceit and unaccountability. The chief of the Games Organizing Committee, Suresh Kalmadi , is charged with corruption for discrepancies in tenders – like payment to non – existent parties, willful delays in execution of contracts, over-inflated price and bungling in purchase of equipment. Misappropriation of funds soaked this grand event in ₹8000 crore corruption scandal. After the 2G spectrum and Commonwealth Games, another massive ₹ 35000 crore Food – Grain scam to light in Uttar Pradesh , as huge stock of food grain meant for distribution under the Antyodaya , Annapurna and Mid – Day Meal schemes was smuggled outside the state and even to other neighbouring countries like Bangladesh and Nepal . It is believed that top officials of the state as well as the central government colluded to divert the food grain between 2001 and 2007. ‘ Chara Ghotala’, as it is popularly known in the vernacular language , Fodder Scam is another major scam that puts a big question mark on the integrity and honesty of our politicians. The scandal worth ₹900 crore involved fabrication of vast herds of fictitious livestock for which fodder, medicine and animal husbandry equipment was supposedly procured. The scandal is another example of misuse of authority for personal gratification and fulfillment of selfish motives. While the Indian politics is already replete with scandals like Bofors scam, Urea scam and Hawala scandal , a new blot of a bigger magnitude emerges every day. The existing cases are pending and large number of cases pile up with every passing day.
Fed up with such inadequacies , the people of India have taken initiative to bring change through the Jan Lokpal Bill. Under the leadership of Anna Hazare , an anti – Corruption crusader, who began a fast – unto – death , the mass movement of people saw an expression of their collective anger against corruption and their willingness to see the enactment of the Jan Lokpal Bill. The bill seeks for the appointment of a Jan Lokpal , an independent body, which would investigate corruption cases, complete the investigation within a year and envisage trial in the next one year. This would ensure expeditious trial and cases against corrupt people will not linger on for years. The bill also proposes to confiscate the property and recover the loss that a corrupt person caused to the country, at the time of conviction . Most importantly, it would help a common citizen as financial penalty on guilty officers would be imposed if work of any citizen is not done in prescribed time in any government office. The Jan Lokpal Bill is a step forward in the forward in the fight against corruption . This effective mechanism aims to bring transparency and accountability in public administration for preventing , punishing and eliminating corruption in India.

The Habit of Reading

We have heard people telling us to read books for improving ourselves. There are a number of different books that people read so as to be in the habit of reading. Sometimes people read to entertain themselves and other time they read to pass their time and further some might read to improve their knowledge of certain language. There can be a lot of reasons of reading books and all of them are certainly justifiable. But very often it has been observed that people don’t actually read but they just put it in their resumes to look more apt for the jobs they apply for. But why do people insist on including the reading habit in their resumes even when they don’t really read? The answer is that people know the importance of reading but they hardly care to actually read. Some people believe it to be highly boring when they have to read and thereby completely ignoring the benefits of reading.

With reading our knowledge of a certain language improves. There are examples where people who are indulged in reading are better off in communicating their thoughts in a particular language as they read in that language. When people read in one language they usually start thinking and then conversing in that language. They get a hold of a certain language just by reading in that language. Reading not only improves their vocabulary but also help them enhance their overall knowledge. Reading just not mean reading novels, or books but it might also mean reading blogs, news etc, which enhances their knowledge and makes them smarter than they were before they started reading. Reading gives a person a sought of confidence that they get because of the knowledge which they achieve as they feel more comfortable in participating in intelligent conversation for they have their own say now.

The habit of reading as some might believe or some might not but teaches the art of patience. For to complete a thriller novel you cannot skip to the end or reach to the climax as some might do in movies and web series, for you need to follow the story word by word, sentence by sentence and page by page, so as to feel the euphoria of finally getting to the end. This euphoria can be achieved only by the art of patience as taught by reading. Reading improves our level of concentration for it is important to focus only on the story while reading it for we would be lost if we lose if slightest of our attention away from it. Reading improves our attention span and gives us some major focus goals. We see people reading while travelling in metro, while waiting for someone, just before going to sleep, all of this and more proves how entertaining reading could be. The best possible thrill, excitement, emotions of happiness, sadness, love, hate and others that reading make us feel are surely something we cannot even experience through some movie or other digital works.
