BEAUTY THAT LOST BY TIME

              BEAUTY THAT LOST BY TIME

BY : NEHA SHAHAB 
Lost in time is a phrase generally used for things or places that are long gone or forgotten over a period of time. India is dotted with such places that have been completely uninhabited, forgotten or just turned into ghost towns.

Lothal, Gujarat

Situated in the Bhal region of Gujarat, Lothal was one of the cities of the Indus Valley Civilization. The lost city was discovered in 1954 during an excavation by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). As per ASI, Lothal had the world’s earliest known dock. There are several ancient monuments which are protected and preserved now.

Kalibangan, Rajasthan

Situated in Hanumangarh district of Rajasthan, Kaliban is another lost town set on the banks of the Ghaggar River. The site is a hub of Harappan remains and is a prominent tourist attraction in the state. According to a report published by ASI, Kalibangan served as a prime provincial capital of the Indus Valley Civilization. The town is noted for having the world’s earliest attested ploughed field.

Vijayanagar, Karnataka

Vijayanagar in Karnataka once served as the capital of Vijayanagara Empire. Situated close to today’s Hampi in Ballari district, Vijayanagara is a lost city set on the banks of the Tungabhadra River. Currently, the place is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is renowned for its many old temples including Virupaksha Temple and Narasimha statue.

Speech on Dowry

                          

My favorite subject has always been English speaking and writing, so why not share it with you all?

So, “Dowry” is our first topic.

    

“I left my home, I left my parents, but it wasn’t worth’

they didn’t want me, they just wanted diamonds.”

The phrase I started with isn’t really a quote, but more a vision of a girl who has left everything for a new family, but they aren’t happy with her, they are happy with the dowry she brought with her. Isn’t this heartbreaking? But do any of us here even understand what dowry is exactly?

People believe that dowry is just money given by a bride’s family to a groom’s family at marriage, however, this is not the case.  

Dowry is a sum of money, property, or any other thing given by the bride’s family to the groom’s family at the time of marriage, but is there ever a limit to greed? Never, even after marriage, many women are tortured or physically abused as a result of it.

But when such a thing started, does it have any end? We are filled up with such questions.

It is an ancient custom and it continues to be expected and demanded as a condition to accept a marriage proposal in some parts of the world.


In Hindi, we call it Dahej or Dahej pratha it is followed in India for a very long time even before the British period. The thought behind this pratha is to ensure that the daughter is financially stable and well treated after her marriage but its a nightmare for many of the women out there, parents who can’t afford the demands of the groom and his family, and sometimes they have to take the marriage loans to get their daughter married. Sometimes the demands of the family get too much that marriages are canceled and such things leave their scar on the women and their families. 

The dowry system is essentially a manifestation of Indian society’s patriarchal structure, in which males are regarded as superior to women in terms of physical and mental qualities. With such a cultural system in place, women are frequently regarded as second-class citizens, only fit for household duties. Such beliefs are frequently linked to them being considered as a financial burden by their father and then by their husband. The dowry system, which feeds the perception that a girl child is a potential burden on family income, worsens this attitude. 

“I live in a society where giving and taking dowry is a pride.”

In our country, dowry is frequently used to demonstrate social status. The amount of money spent on a daughter’s wedding or the amount of gold given to them is frequently used to determine one’s social worth. This viewpoint strongly supports the practice of dowry demands. The boy’s family rises in social status as a result of the dowry their new bride brings in, which is a measure of his wealth.

Dowry was very popular in India, in ancient times. It’s not the case now though, but it isn’t finished even. It is even practiced in many parts of the country now also.


Do you know, how it changed over a period of time? What makes it a change? 


Everything over time has played its role and changed it, but we the youth were the most to make it possible. 


“It takes 2 hands to clap.” You won’t give, they won’t take.


Nowadays, the groom’s family does not even consider dowry, they just care about the girl. Also, from bride’s family, they just deny it directly if they are asked for it. But such families are still in small numbers. 

Moreover, females have become so independent and blunt they don’t want to marry a person who even thinks about it. 

But where we played the role? 

We played and have to play an important role until such practices get abolished. We need to educate everyone, that a life of girls matters, those materialistic things, money, or property are worthless over a female. 

We not only even need to educate people but also to stop such practices if we see them being practiced and just report them as the law is there.  


Several laws have been passed to prevent the practice of dowry and the discrimination it causes against women. The Dowry Prohibition Act was passed on May 20, 1961, to eliminate this heinous practice from society. Not only does the statute make it illegal to accept dowry, but it also makes it illegal to provide it. Property, valued security, such as cash and jewelry, are among the items that are exchanged during the marriage. Making dowry demands is punishable by a minimum of 5 years in prison and a fine of 15,000 rupees. Sections 498A of the Indian Penal Code and Section 198A of the Criminal Procedure Code deal with acts of cruelty committed by the husband or his relatives against the wife. The addition of Section 113A to the Indian Evidence Act allows the bride’s family to accuse the husband’s family of aiding and abetting the suicide of their daughter within seven years of the marriage. 


The government and people have always shown support for a social cause and we do need to too. Let’s just abolish it until a girl says

“I left my family, I left my parents, yes it was worth it

they wanted me, not the diamonds.”


Sustainable Development

One fact which no person or group can not deny is that resources are limited on this planet. All these resources have got unlimited uses.
 In simple words resources are scars. So it has to be used to satisfy the unlimited wants and desires of human beings. 
There is an utmost need to divide the system so Earth resources can grow in the best possible way for using present resources. Humans need a system that ensures the usage of resources without depletion. 
Certain strategies like
The balance between conservation and development- 
Development should not be at the cost of the environment we should have a mutual Outlook for both.
Satisfaction of basic human needs-
Sources unlimited but wants are unlimited people have Max with them for newborns but not for the greed Mahatma Gandhi
Social justice-
Sources should be allocated not according to the financial status of a country but according to the needs and requirements of each nation.
Maintenance of ecological integrity-
Human intervention should be sustained so the ecosystem can maintain itself naturally.
These things can play important role in the development of a system, certainly, if human beings get success in building such a system this will get sustainable development.
Sustainable Development refers to development that meets the requirements of the present generation without compromising the ability to fulfill the requirements of the future generations.
Principles of the development
Optimum utilization of natural resources-
There are 195 countries in the world and resources are unevenly divided between them. So the use of resources to their full is important.
Effective water management
70% of the earth is covered with water but only 2.5% of water is fresh. That is the reason why world Bank estimate 21% of disease in India are linked to unsafe water.
Intergenerational equity –
There is a generation to come in the future which serves a share in the offerings of mother earth. So there should be a just between them.
Holistic Approach
It means it takes different objects as a whole, not in isolation.
Sadly this Subject of sustainable development have several issues like in India there are some key issues to reach to a state of a full sustain economy Few such issues are:-
Climate change
Week laws
Globalization limitations
Human Greed
Deforestation
Lack of knowledge
Acid rain
Etc.
In a nutshell sustainable development is certainly not an easy goal to achieve.
It’s a long process that can be fulfilled if we as a society give more importance to the user than to meet self-greed. The world can be better placed if most intelligent species i.e humans take charge and work together in its direction.
So basic principle to be learned is the usage of resources should be strictly for the betterment of all life on earth and for generations to come.

NEVER IMAGINED

            LIONEL MESSI IS LEAVING 

By : Neha shahab

 Leo Messi is still the greatest player in the world. Lionel Messi fought back tears Sunday as he began a press conference at which he confirmed he is leaving Barcelona, where he has played his entire career. 
The official verdict is that Messi will leave Barcelona because the La Liga club is unable to fulfil the player’s new contract.
It had been expected to sign a new five-year contract with the Catalan club, which would have seen his salary reduced by 50 per cent from £100m to around £50m per year, and arrived in Barcelona earlier this week still believing he would do so.
The 34-year-old Argentinian superstar, six times a Ballon d’Or winner, has been out of contract since the end of June and Barca say they cannot afford to keep him, with Paris Saint Germain widely.
He  has been at the club for 21 years, becoming its all-time goalscorer with 682, broke down in tears before giving a speech and was greeted by a lengthy standing ovation from the media, current and former teammates and coaches .

Jaipur: The Ancient 'Pink City' of Rajasthan

     OUR PINK CITY!!😍

Jaipur – land of the Rajputs, is an exuberance of colour, dance and traditional arts and crafts. Known, as the ‘Pink City’, Jaipur is home to a wonderful selection of ancient forts and palaces. One of India’s most well planned cities, Jaipur is built in 9 rectangular sectors symbolising 9 divisions of the universe, as per Indian cosmology!


 The first planned city of India, Jaipur has a rich history of a clan of rulers who lived in magnificent forts and palaces. But, that’s not only what the capital of Rajasthan is famous for. The entire city of Jaipur is painted in the colour pink and there’s a really interesting story behind this. Here’s all you need to know about the ‘Pink Paint Culture’ of one of the most hospitable cities on the planet.

The Hawa Mahal 

The reason behind the terracotta-pink colour of the city was the influence of a king named Sawai Ram Singh. In 1876, Queen Victoria’s son, Albert Edward, Prince of Wales (who later became King Edward VII, Emperor of India) visited India and, since pink was considered the colour of hospitality at the time, Maharaja Ram Singh had the whole city painted pink to welcome the royal guests. Lord Albert was said to have described Jaipur as the ‘pink city’, hence creating the name Jaipur is known by today.


The ONE Thing : Book review

Friends, in today’s time, we have many different options. Now whether to take the important decision daily, or choose a carrier for life. I wish we could do this and sow too. Because most of the people don’t even know what their ONE thing is, on which they should focus. That’s why they are always confused. Whereas productivity in everyday life style or success of life long. Not by doing 10 different things. Rather, there is success in doing ONE thing. 

As we all get 24 hrs in a day, then why some people depend on the time to come to finish your work today and how some people finish all your important work on time. How some people succeed very quickly and become lentils, and why some people, even after trying for a long time, have not been able to identify you yet. To solve this problem, today I will tell you the summary of The ONE Thing book. The writer of this book is Gary Keller and Jay papasan.

What is ONE Thing:

ONE thing means to put all your time and energy to do one thing at a time. And for now forget the rest of the work. The work that is most important to you. Who matters the most. A job that fulfills your life purpose. For example you know Virat Kohli only for cricket. He has given maximum of his time in cricket. If he had been given in cricket as well as in software engineer or in some other work, then he would not have become an expert in any one thing.

Like most people, your mind must be asking to do or become more than one thing. Like sometimes you would like to become an engineer, sometimes to go to a film, sometimes to become a doctor. Friends, ask yourself clearly what do you want in your life, what is your life purpose. If you keep changing from one path to another, you will not get anywhere. If you try to catch two rabbits at once, then you will not be able to catch either one. So, what’s your ONE thing, you can find out by trying out the 80/20 principle. The 80/20 principle says, 20% of your work gives 80% result.

You are ought to do the work which is more important and should be done first. What is 20% of the work you have done that you should do now and that work will improve your future. Find the work before you finish it. 

6 lies that stand in the seed of your success :

1.Everything matters equally :

When we do any work, we feel that all the work is important for us. But in real, all the work is not important for us, there is a lot of work which is not so important and still we do it. Some work is such that we need to finish it first, and some work is such that we have to do it but if we do it later, it will work. So, finish the most important work first.

2.Multitasking :

Multitasking is an exemption. Which is not good and we don’t need it.

If I read A,B,C,D,E and 1,2,3,4,5 together it will take me 2.16 sec.

But if I combine,

A, B, C, D, E

1,2,3,4,5

A1, B2, C3, D4, E5, If I read this, it will take me 6.48 sec.

So, multitasking will take more time and you will not be able to do the same work properly.

3. A Disciplined life :

To be successful it is very important to have a disciplined life. This is also an exemption, friends, you can be successful even if you are less disciplined. Because success comes in doing the right thing in the right way. It is enough to be disciplined in life as much as you can work on your one thing.

4. It is necessary to always have desire in a human being, this is also an exemption :

Like a phone’s battery, human body power and will power…

It is necessary to charge after it expires. We have to charge our mind by listening to motivation video, motivation blog, motivation audio. Friends, when we wake up in the morning, when our mind is in full charge, at this time do your one thing.

5. Everything in life should be kept in balance:

This too is wrong and a subtle lie. Along with family, start your own business, full time job and see it is very difficult, friends. Sometimes we give all our time to our family because at that time we do not have any important work. But when we have more work, then we have to give more time to our work. You should give more time than one thing to your main goal, that is, your more time should be spent from where you can get big results.

6. Thinking big is wrong:

This is also a lie, friends, the bigger your thinking, the greater will be your chance of getting one thing. If you think small the action will also be small and you will get success too small.

The Four Thieves of productivity :

1. Learn to say No:

When you work on your one thing, many people will come to distract you and make them work. You do not tell them all and focus on your work.

2.Fear of chaos :

After you say no, there may be some disturbance in life. Face the situation like this and work on your one thing. no matter what happen, because your future is in your hands.

3.Poor Health Habits :

Bad habits that spoil your health, whether you have a gun, a knife or a knife, if your condition is not good then anyone can defeat you. Being sick, you will be able to focus on one thing. That’s why exercise daily and eat good food because health is wealth.

4. Environment Doesn’t Support your Goals :

If the environment of the palace in which you live is not good, then it will have a bad effect on your goal. Try to live in a good environment.

Anyone can fall in love with this book who loves crime and suspense.

BUSINESS COMMUNICATION

 UNDERSTANDING COMMUNICATION

COMMUNICATION MATTERS

Communication is so important in business, because business need people with good communication skills and our people need business. So, both are interconnected with one another. While communication has always been the Central to business, the nature of work today presents special communication challenges.

MEANING IS MIND

‘WE SEE THE WORLD AS WE ARE NOT AS WHAT THE WORLD IS’, stated by German philosopher Nietzsche. The statement comes true by that there is no meaning in signs, symbols, clues and objects around us, the meaning is just vested in the mind coming to us from uniqueness which is the result of experience. Programming by external environment fixes our mindsets, perspectives, biases, preconceived notions and beliefs. The audience can make sense and interpret the world around them only through individual filters.

CONTEXTS OF COMMUNICATION

The relationship of communicators also forms an important context of communication. 

Organizational contexts: The Organization to which your audience belongs – priorities, circumstances, slow or fast in pace of work can be strongly influenced by the way the message is going to be delivered.

Professional Contexts: Different professionals have different perspectives. Being aware of the internal and external ones makes you identify the priorities.

Personal Contexts: It all depends upon the current circumstances. Who you are, success, failure relationship, financial ups and downs, state of health and the physical environment all can affect communicative act. If you are aware eg. The intended recipient of your message is under stress or having a bad day, you can adapt your communication accordingly.

ADAPTATION

Choose the best words for your message. Adapting your message to one reader requires care, but addressing many needs to be considered carefully. In general, use familiar words for better understanding. Avoid words that are stereotyped by age. Avoiding words that are typecasted with the disabilities and negative descriptions. Understand an adapt to the different generations of people in the workplace.

IS NOT WHAT YOU SAY BUT HOW YOU SAY

Use positive words. Because people generally prefer positive to negative feelings, positive words are usually best for achieving your message goals. This is not to say that one should not use negative words, rather to use. Such words are powerful, and you will sometimes want to use them. They create some kind of effect to the opposite party.
Focus on what you do, it employes what one achieves the goal and desired effects. Do more than expected. Too many of us, however, stop switch simple messages, we include only bare essentials. 
Use the three major techniques for emphasizing the positive and the de-emphasizing the negative.  The three most important managing emphasis is structured one, position, sentence. Make sure that you built these kinds of things properly and achieve your objective in business.

Is Climate Change happening now?

 The effects of climate change are very evident with the temperature rise experienced globally. Change in temperature, frequent forest fires, melting of ice, extreme and unusual rainfall, should be a wake up call for us to consider the phenomenon of climate change seriously. 

In 2020, the number of fire alerts for wildfires went up by 13% globally as per the World Wide Fund for nature (WWF). The planet became 5 degrees warmer in 5,000 years, but the predicted rate of warming in the next century is 20 times faster. The matter of concern is that a 3 degrees celsius rise in temperature can affect upto 43% of the glaciers of the Himalayan mountains. As a consequence of losing the glaciers, the region can suffer from water scarcity


Climate Change in India

In a recent report in the Indian Express, the director general of the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), Mr. Mrityunjay Mohapatra had explained the causes and projections of extreme weather conditions in India. Heavy rainfall was seen in states like Gujarat, West Bengal, Odisha, and Maharashtra. Whereas a low rainfall was seen in Kerala, Jharkhand and some other areas. But the total amount of rain received remained constant. This indicates that in some places, either it rained to an extreme extent or there was no rain at all. 

The reason for this extreme weather condition was cited to be the rise in temperature. The Global rise in temperature has gone up by 1.2 degrees Celsius as compared to the past hundred years. In India, it has increased by 0.6 degrees Celsius. It has mostly affected the Northern, Central and Eastern parts of the country. 

This rise in temperature not only affects the surface but also the troposphere. The moisture holding capacity of the atmosphere increases, as a result of which extreme rainfall is experienced. The recent trends show that light and moderate rainfall has decreased and heavy rainfall has increased. 

This extreme weather leads to an increase in floods, rainstorm, thunderstorm and lightning. A rise in the intensity of cyclones from the Arabian Sea has also been reported. The current projection by IMD is frequent and intense weather events. According to the weather bureau chief, the probability of experiencing heavy rainfall has increased. 

The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres had also expressed his concern over the issue of climate change recently. On 25th July 2021, he called for the leadership of G20 to address the issue of climate change.  Climate Change and extreme weather conditions are a raging concern for the world right now and also predicted to be in the future.

CHILD HAS THE RIGHT

                                                      CHILD HAS THE RIGHT 

BY : NEHA SHAHAB

 A plea by a minor girl’s father seeking direction to the authorities to reflect his name as his daughter’s surname in the documents and not her mother’s name. Justice Rekha Palli, however, declined to pass such a direction and said, “A father does not own the daughter to dictate that she should use only his surname. If the minor daughter is happy with her surname.

The court said every child has a right to use his/her mother’s surname if he/she wishes to. During the hearing, the man’s counsel submitted that his daughter is a minor and cannot decide such issues on her own, claiming that the surname was changed by his estranged wife. He claimed that the change in name will make it difficult to avail insurance claims as the policy was taken in the name of the girl with her father’s surname. The mother had changed the surname from Shrivastava to Saxena.

        The court, which declined to allow the plea, noted that even the birth certificate on      August  10, 2018, issued by the East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC) also will have both the names.

The judge disposed of the petition with a liberty to the man to approach his daughter’s school to show his name as the father.


Neeraj Chopra: Boy with the golden arm


A touchy teenager, the ‘sarpanch’, good friend, foodie… and now Neeraj is an Olympic champion.💗

 A HAPPIEST MOMENT IN OUR

 COUNTRY!!🙌

PROUD ON YOU OUR  WORLD CHAMPION BOY!!

Neeraj Chopra did not just win a gold medal, flinging the javelin a staggering 87.58m to top the charts in Tokyo, but vaulted himself into history books as well as the consciousness of a medal-starved nation. It would go down, to date, as the most historic of medals in India’s Olympic history. Perhaps, the most historic in the nation’s sporting history. The gold, a historic first for the country in track and field, the second for an individual ever and the first since Abhinav Bindra’s in 2008, would also ensure India’s richest-ever tally (seven).

Much before he won the country’s first-ever track and field medal, they used to call Neeraj the village headman in Khandra, near Panipat. What started as a joke turned out prophetic. It’s one Neeraj story, his uncle Bhim Chopra never tires of narrating.

His story is as much endearing as it is inspiring. While still in school, Neeraj once came home crying. It was very soon after he had rushed out of his house, excited to show his sparkling white new kurta-pyjama to his friends. A stray taunt by one of his playmates would make Neeraj a butt of jokes among pals. The incident would also change his life and give him an apt nickname for the rest of his life.
