KARGIL WAR also known as the KARGIL CONFLICT was an armed clash between India and Pakistan that took place starting from May 3 1999 to July 26, 1999, and lasted for about 2 months 3 weeks and 2 days. In Kargil District of Kashmir and in the Line of Control (LoC, military control line between India and Pakistan), the northern part of Jammu and Kashmir. For the Indian army, this was known as Operation Vijay (Vijay means Victory) and for the Indian Air Force, it was known as Operation Safed Sagar. What you need to know before? In the 1947-48 war, the northern area of Jammu and Kashmir was divided by LoC(during the first Kashmir war) and in 1998 both the countries India and Pakistan had nuclear powers. It was decided to avoid nuclear race and unexpected use of nuclear weapons, to evade non-conventional and conventional conflicts. Also, both the two countries agreed on CBM i.e. Confidence Building Measures which means if anyone tests for Missile, it has to be informed pre-testing. Just before the Kargil, in February 1999 Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee visited Lahore and India-Pak signed the Lahore declaration(bus diplomacy).

What led to war? Between February and May 1999, the Indian Military posts on LoC were occupied by Pak army units(Pakistan later declared such), and this information was informed by local shepherds to the Indian Army. The major aim was to detach the link between Kashmir and Ladakh, cause India to withdraw from the Siachen Glacier, urging India to negotiate a compromise of the Kashmir dispute. But our heroes ie Indian Army and Indian Air Force launched their attacks on Pakistani positions in the sector to recapture the higher posts. In the meantime, PM of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif went to the US to ask for help where president Bill Clinton instructed PM Sharif to bring troops back behind the LoC i.e. into Pakistan’s region. This was a turning point in American foreign policy with India as the US specified that Pakistan had intentionally disobeyed and violated the LoC near Kargil, President Bill Clinton blamed Pakistan for gambling a broader war. Until 4 July the Indian army had captured strategic peaks like Tiger hill and many more. The army and navy fought at extreme temperatures of 10°C to 15°C. On 26 July 1999 India celebrated its victory by regaining the lost regions. Highlights. ● India first time used BOFORS FH-77B in war. This turned out to be a massive help in winning the battle. ● Israel helped India with drones (UAVs). ● Some reports also suggest that the US denied GPS help. This could have been a crucial help, knowing the location of the army post and check post would be so profitable which later resulted in the development of the IRNSS system.
Post-war. ● After the war, Atal Bihari won elections in October 1999 and he was applauded for his successful dealing of the situation. ● The blame game started between General Parvez Musharraf and Prime Minister Sharif. PM Sharif resists that he didn’t even go to the US, also he came to know about the attack by India itself(CBM) and blames it as Musharraf’s plan. ● About years later PM Sharif in an interview said that Pakistan lost about 4000 soldiers in Kargil including the Shepherds who entered LoC. ● India appreciated every official’s harsh efforts by awarding the Param Veer Chakra to Manoj Kumar Pandey, Vikram Batra(Dil Mange More), Yogendra Singh Yadav and Sanjay Kumar.
EVERY YEAR ON JULY 26, INDIA CELEBRATES KARGIL VIJAY DIWAS REMEMBERING THE KARGIL HEROES WITH SAME PATRIOTISM.
From plants to tress and animal to men all, species communicate in their all manner and style. We as a human are capable of spoken language. Effective communication compromises of technology since its start in primitive times as communication is essential for variety of reasons. Human as a society use communication to inform, educate, entertain, inspire, establish power, buff and control the ambience around.
Communication
Communication is a way to imparting and exchanging information and messages. Communication is of two types and the important one is verbal communication that helped us in developing as a society. It is not hard to imagine about the kind of life without any means of verbal communication. Simply, non-progressive is what comes to the mind. However non-verbal communication has been the oldest mode of communication and exited before written and verbal but we couldn’t have achieved advancement with non-verbal.
Various mode
Advancement of communication did not happened in a day. From nonverbal to verbal, it’s been long and hectic journey to form a developed civilization. One can imagine a world with no verbal communication in it. One can’t even think about it. Communication has mostly done a good for human existence’s and assisted it in good ways, often. Communication has always exited in different forms. And it was only be possible through verbal communication as it gives human a chance to express and connect. It is such an important element of human survival and business success. From print to electronic and to wireless mode, communication has witnessed a gradual change with passing time. Many of these methods that are also called the initial stage to communicate were a unsystematic form of sign and symbols. And it took around 3 million years to communicate in an intentional and manufactured format. Among all the sets of language at their primitive stage, the most well-known is the painting being painted on cave walls by using fruits and animal bloods. Homo sapiens used to communicate to each and send signals through these paintings. This can be considered as the baby stepping in the world of communication.
Mode of communication
Print
Johann Gutenberg is the man behind the invention of printing press in 1448. Technology utilized was a vision for a device that would utilize movable type using blocks with pre-printed text. Success of this vision allowed printing of books to be mass-produced and with effective cost cutting as well. Invention of printing press took the world with printing of pamphlet, books, magazine and the newspaper.
Electronic
People desire to progress quick and accurately lead to invention of electronic mode of communication. Radio is another powerful and popular mode of communication. It was a new and portable form of communication and entertainment. It began to serve as communication with short wave length during First World War that turned as the hottest technology for communication and was invented in 1920s.
Television
Termed as an idiot box, television was invented in 1939. With both audio and video, it gained popularity in no time. It can educate, entertain or inform audiences worldwide. With discovery of satellite, television has made world a global village. it now easy to get and witness information and happenings of one place sitting in another corner of the world. Technology of TV sends electronic transmissions that evident themselves on receiving devices as either sound or video in it. . There are many mode of communication that we use to connect with people around. It
Telephone to cell phone
In 1876, Alexander Bell, invented telephone by transmitting vibration through air and received the same vibration in another place. It was transmission of sound and pitch through a wire. bel applied the same concept as it is composed of many complex sound vibrations.
Michael Faraday wanted to check if space could conduct electricity and invented the first portable handset. Now cell phones have become an integral part of our life. It has become hard to think of existence without cell phones.
Communication simply is a technology that is essential to create social sense of cohesion. People have used the communication and technology to develop the society making it a global, village. Every day, new invention in the field of communication is enhancing behavior of mankind in different ways. Communication has morphed into an endless variety of ways to express oneself to other humans
In amidst this global pandemic,life has become very harsh for many poor and middle class people. This lockdown has also locked the earnings making them struggle everyday to meet their daily needs. The biggest question of the hour has turned out to be”when will this pandemic meet an end?”.But it is necessary that we must focus on life after corona.
This corona virus has taught us many things ,it has helped in integration of people not only in the country but also worldwide. This virus has taught us that discrimination of people on basis of caste,religion,region has no sense. It has also became agent of mother earth wherein it brought the pollution levels significantly down all over the world.
It is clear indication that we must start using non-conventional energy sources after this crisis. It is clear that we must understand that humanity is the only religion and serving needy is next to serving god.
We should maintain social distancing at least for following year and help needy. If we all stand United and act wisely we will surely be victorious in this situation and once again we can live that golden days enjoying railway rides, shouting for our favourite team in stadiums and the birds chirping in the forest without our intervention, but for now we must stay home stay safe.
As humans we always tend find a way to solve any problem and this pandemic where everything is put on a halt, learning not stopping. As 77% of people in India owns a smartphone and as internet has gotten cheaper and is available to more and more people. Keeping these demographics in mind educational institutions all over India have started taking classes online . These classes are taken so that the schools can cover the portion of the syllabus to some extent so that they don’t have to face the problem of completing it altogether when the things come back to normal. It is a very good step as students can attend the classes in the comfort of their home and yes very important thing they are safe. The big question here is should this, be made compulsory for all the students?
What about the remaining 23% others who does not own a smartphone, Education itself is something they are getting after facing so many hardships. Especially in private schools where there is a provision to give a reservation of 25% seats for the children coming from the weaker section of the society. Many a times they don’t even get the information that the classes have started online, these children suffer a loss due to this. At times institutions also overlook these issues as they have to safeguard the interests of other students whose parents are elite.
In Kerala a 14 year old girl committed suicide as she was depressed of not being able attend the online lectures, as she didn’t have a mobile. Some students go through an agony no one would understand, as its their growing years there are many insecurities they feel that cannot be explained. In situation like these making the online classes compulsory is not a good idea. This surely will impact the importance of the online class as some students will not attend the class despite having all the facilities. Rather some concession should be given to those students who don’t have these facilities. Also an assurance should be given to these students that as the schools reopen they would arrange some special classes to teach them these lessons so that they do not feel left out. This extra effort should be taken by the educational institutions.
Such instances should not mean that the online education should be reverted ,rather it should be revised. Digital teaching is a good way to get quality education, to have a productive day while in quarantine. As digitalization is slowly becoming a part of everyday’s life and there is no doubt that it should be utilized by the public effectively. For this the amenities should be provided to the people in an affordable price so that this campaign of digitalization can have greater success . This will also increase the students participating in digital education and nor the institution have to do extra work and they can do the job of educating students smoothly. It is really important that we understand the importance of educating students as its every child ‘s right to get Education and no one should be denied of their right.
A Healthy life and lifestyle is what every individual desires along with money and better close relationships. These are the key factors to live a happy and satisfied life and disbalance in any of the above leads humans to a stage of depression, stress and tension. Humans have been working since ages and have somewhat been able to maintain balance between all these, but surely all these three pillars of happy and pleasure life are surely connected to each other. As an old proverb comes to our mind that “health is wealth”, and surely is the element which every one wants to be better. If one is healthy enough, he would be able to work and earn better money and similarly have less stress and tension, thus would also maintain better relationships with close ones.
Considering today’s scenario, the era of Pandemic Covid -19 , one needs to remain fit and healthy so as to fight back and eradicate the existence of this disease until it’s vaccine comes into action. But “which factor truly defines a healthy person and good Health”. Immunity, the factor which defines how a healthy any individual is based on his/ her own day to day activities including both diet as well as physical work efforts. Immunity is the element which is helping people to recover from this .So it surely explains the importance of strong immunity for any individual to be healthy.
But human immunity has been observed to fall the scale from past few years in various parts of the world. This is surely due to an unbalanced lifestyle, more stress , tension and limited physical exercise. Man has made himself weak by also eating more of the junk food which definitely lacks the desired proteins and nutrients, and thus basic requirements due to which the body does suffer.
So we clearly understand the importance of immunity and how it has a key role to help us fight back, bacteria and other diseases. But the question which comes to mind is “How are we losing down on our immunity or why immunity levels are decreasing day by day in individuals”. So the reason for the same include:
Lack of physical exercise – Exercise helps to reduce stress and releases various antibodies which are effective to fight these Diseases.
Junk foods
Less water intake
Consumption of excessive caffeine
Smoking
Excessive alcohol and drugs
Consuming foods with Fat and sugar content
Lack of inadequate sleep.
These factors surely have an effect on our health and day to day activities and thus do affect our immune system and reduce it’s capabilities to fight back viruses, bacterias and other infections .
Therefore one should definitely come up with the plans to fight back this issue letting to reduce the immunity of individuals by working on the elements they lack in daily activities. This could surely include:
1-2 hour of exercise and yoga
Restricting To Eat oily and other junk food.
Consuming desired water content each day.
Reducing the content of caffeine in their drinks.
Stop smoking and it’s consumption
Adequate sleep.
“Weall know that health is surely the best and the most precious element which a human has and if he has it, then he could surely achieve heights and thus become successful. So in order to remain healthy one must focus on improving their immunity by boosting it with desired exercises and food and these small steps toward securing our own health, we would definitely make ourselves and also our surrounding healthy thus leasing to our neighborhood be stress free, relaxed and much happier”.
Mental health refers to cognitive, behavioral, and emotional well-being. It is all about how people think, feel, and behave. People sometimes use the term “mental health” to mean the absence of a mental disorder.
However, this link also works in the other direction. Factors in people’s lives, interpersonal connections, and physical factors can all contribute to mental health disruptions.
Looking after mental health can preserve a person’s ability to enjoy life. Doing this involves reaching a balance between life activities, responsibilities, and efforts to achieve psychological resilience.
Conditions such as stress, depression, and anxiety can all affect mental health and disrupt a person’s routine.
Although the term mental health is in common use, many conditions that doctors recognize as psychological disorders have physical roots.
In this article, we explain what people mean by mental health and mental illness. We also describe the most common types of mental disorders, including their early signs and how to treat them.
What is mental health?
Mental health disorders are one of the leading causes of disability in the U.S.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO):
“Mental health is a state of well-being in which an individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.”
The WHO stress that mental health is “more than just the absence of mental disorders or disabilities.” Peak mental health is about not only avoiding active conditions but also looking after ongoing wellness and happiness.
They also emphasize that preserving and restoring mental health is crucial on an individual basis, as well as throughout different communities and societies the world over.
In the United States, the National Alliance on Mental Illness estimate that almost 1 in 5 adults experience mental health problems each year.
In 2017, an estimated 11.2 million adults in the U.S., or about 4.5% of adults, had a severe psychological condition, according to the National Institute of Mental Health
Risk factors for mental health conditions
Everyone has some risk of developing a mental health disorder, no matter their age, sex, income, or ethnicity.
In the U.S. and much of the developed world, mental disorders are one of the leading causes of disability.
Social and financial circumstances, biological factors, and lifestyle choices can all shape a person’s mental health.
A large proportion of people with a mental health disorder have more than one condition at a time.
It is important to note that good mental health depends on a delicate balance of factors and that several elements of life and the world at large can work together to contribute to disorders.
The following factors may contribute to mental health disruptions.
Continuous social and economic pressure
Having limited financial means or belonging to a marginalized or persecuted ethnic group can increase the risk of mental health disorders.
A 2015 study of 903 families in Iran identified several socioeconomic causes of mental health conditions, including poverty and living on the outskirts of a large city.
The researchers also explained the difference in the availability and quality of mental health treatment for certain groups in terms of modifiable factors, which can change over time, and nonmodifiable factors, which are permanent.
Modifiable factors for mental health disorders include:
socioeconomic conditions, such whether work is available in the local area
occupation
a person’s level of social involvement
education
housing quality
Nonmodifiable factors include:
gender
age
ethnicity
The study lists gender as both a modifiable and nonmodifiable factor. The researchers found that being female increased the risk of low mental health status by 3.96 times.
People with a “weak economic status” also scored highest for mental health conditions in this study.
Biological factors
The NIMH suggest that genetic family history can increase the likelihood of mental health conditions, as certain genes and gene variants put a person at higher risk.
However, many other factors contribute to the development of these disorders.
Having a gene with links to a mental health disorder, such as depression or schizophrenia, does not guarantee that a condition will develop. Likewise, people without related genes or a family history of mental illness can still have mental health issues.
Mental health conditions such as stress, depression, and anxiety may develop due to underlying, life-changing physical health problems, such as cancer, diabetes, and chronic pain.
Common mental health disorders
The most common types of mental illness are as follows:
anxiety disorders
mood disorders
schizophrenia disorders
Anxiety disorders
According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, anxiety disorders are the most common type of mental illness.
People with these conditions have severe fear or anxiety, which relates to certain objects or situations. Most people with an anxiety disorder will try to avoid exposure to whatever triggers their anxiety.
Examples of anxiety disorders include:
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)
The American Psychiatric Association define GAD as disproportionate worry that disrupts everyday living.
People might also experience physical symptoms, including
restlessness
fatigue
tense muscles
interrupted sleep
A bout of anxiety symptoms does not necessarily need a specific trigger in people with GAD.
They may experience excessive anxiety on encountering everyday situations that do not present a direct danger, such as chores or keeping appointments. A person with GAD may sometimes feel anxiety with no trigger at all.
Panic disorders
People with a panic disorder experience regular panic attacks, which involve sudden, overwhelming terror or a sense of imminent disaster and death.
Phobias
There are different types of phobia:
Simple phobias: These might involve a disproportionate fear of specific objects, scenarios, or animals. A fear of spiders is a common example.
Social phobia: Sometimes known as social anxiety, this is a fear of being subject to the judgment of others. People with social phobia often restrict their exposure to social environments.
Agoraphobia: This term refers to a fear of situations in which getting away may be difficult, such as being in an elevator or moving train. Many people misunderstand this phobia as a fear of being outside.
Phobias are deeply personal, and doctors do not know every type. There could be thousands of phobias, and what might seem unusual to one person may be a severe problem that dominates daily life for another.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
People with OCD have obsessions and compulsions. In other words, they experience constant, stressful thoughts and a powerful urge to perform repetitive acts, such as hand washing.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
PTSD can occur after a person experiences or witnesses a deeply stressful or traumatic event.
During this type of event, the person thinks that their life or other people’s lives are in danger. They may feel afraid or that they have no control over what is happening.
These sensations of trauma and fear may then contribute to PTSD.
Mood disorders
People may also refer to mood disorders as affective disorders or depressive disorders.
People with these conditions have significant changes in mood, generally involving either mania, which is a period of high energy and elation, or depression. Examples of mood disorders include:
Major depression: An individual with major depression experiences a constant low mood and loses interest in activities and events that they previously enjoyed. They can feel prolonged periods of sadness or extreme sadness.
Bipolar disorder: A person with bipolar disorder experiences unusual changes in their mood, energy levels, levels of activity, and ability to continue with daily life. Periods of high mood are known as manic phases, while depressive phases bring on low mood.
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD): Reduced daylight triggers during the fall, winter, and early spring months trigger this type of major depression. It is most common in countries far from the equator.
Schizophrenia disorders
Mental health authorities are still trying to determine whether schizophrenia is a single disorder or a group of related illnesses. It is a highly complex condition.
Signs of schizophrenia typically develop between the ages of 16 and 30 years, according to the NIMH. The individual will have thoughts that appear fragmented, and they may also find it hard to process information.
Schizophrenia has negative and positive symptoms. Positive symptoms include delusions, thought disorders, and hallucinations. Negative symptoms include withdrawal, lack of motivation, and a flat or inappropriate mood.
Early signs
There is no physical test or scan that reliably indicates whether a person has developed a mental illness. However, people should look out for the following as possible signs of a mental health disorder:
withdrawing from friends, family, and colleagues
avoiding activities that they would normally enjoy
sleeping too much or too little
eating too much or too little
feeling hopeless
having consistently low energy
using mood-altering substances, including alcohol and nicotine, more frequently
displaying negative emotions
being confused
being unable to complete daily tasks, such as getting to work or cooking a meal
having persistent thoughts or memories that reappear regularly
thinking of causing physical harm to themselves or others
hearing voices
experiencing delusions
Treatment
There are various methods for managing mental health problems. Treatment is highly individual, and what works for one person may not work for another.
Some strategies or treatments are more successful in combination with others. A person living with a chronic mental disorder may choose different options at various stages in their life.
The individual needs to work closely with a doctor who can help them identify their needs and provide them with suitable treatment.
Treatments can include:
Psychotherapy, or talking therapies
This type of treatment takes a psychological approach to treating mental illness. Cognitive behavioural Therapy, exposure therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy are examples.
Psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, and some primary care physicians carry out this type of treatment.
It can help people understand the root of their mental illness and start to work on more healthful thought patterns that support everyday living and reduce the risk of isolation and self-harm.
Medication
Some people take prescribed medications, such as antidepressants, antipsychotics, and anxiolytic drugs.
Although these cannot cure mental disorders, some medications can improve symptoms and help a person resume social interaction and a normal routine while they work on their mental health.
Some of these medications work by boosting the body’s absorption of feel-good chemicals, such as serotonin, from the brain. Other drugs either boost the overall levels of these chemicals or prevent their degradation or destruction.
Self-help
A person coping with mental health difficulties will usually need to make changes to their lifestyle to facilitate wellness.
Such changes might include reducing alcohol intake, sleeping more, and eating a balanced, nutritious diet. People may need to take time away from work or resolve issues with personal relationships that may be causing damage to their mental health.
People with conditions such as an anxiety or depressive disorder may benefit from relaxation techniques, which include deep breathing, meditation, and mindfulness.
Having a support network, whether via self-help groups or close friends and family, can also be essential to recovery from mental illness.
Suicide prevention
If you know someone at immediate risk of self-harm, suicide, or hurting another person:
Ask the tough question: “Are you considering suicide?”
Listen to the person without judgment.
Call 911 or the local emergency number, or text TALK to 741741 to communicate with a trained crisis counselor.
Stay with the person until professional help arrives.
Try to remove any weapons, medications, or other potentially harmful objects.
Typhoid Fever or Typhoid is a systemic enteric infection caused by bacteria usually through ingestion of contaminated food or water. The disease is also referred by several other names such as Gastric Fever, Enteric Fever, Abdominal Typhus, Infantile Remittent Fever, Slow Fever, Nervous Fever, and Pythogenic Fever. The disease causes several symptoms causing mild to severe problems for the patients. The symptoms are generally seen from six to thirty days after exposure. Generally there is the gradual onset of high fever for several days, weakness, abdominal pain, constipation, headaches, and vomiting. Some people also develop a skin rash with red colored spots. The cause of the disease is the bacterium Salmonella typhi which is also known as Salmonella enterica serotype typhi , mainly growing in the intestines and blood. Risk factors include poor sanitation and poor hygiene. Diagnosis of the disease is done by either culturing the bacteria or detecting the bacterium’s DNA in the blood, stool, or bone marrow. Culturing the bacterium is little bit difficult so Bone marrow testing is the mostly used method. It has been observed that a typhoid vaccine can prevent about 40-90% of the infection during the first 2-7 years. But this vaccine is always recommended for the people at high risk or travelling to the places where this disease is so common. Other efforts which can be done to prevent the disease are clean drinking water, good sanitation, and hand washing. The disease is usually treated with several antibiotics such as Azithromycin, Fluoroquinolones or third generation cephalosporins.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS Usually, the complete course of untreated typhoid fever is divided into 4 different stages, where the each stage lasts for a week which makes the patient completely exhausted. • In the first week, the body temperature of the patient rises slowly, and the fever fluctuations are generally seen with relative bradycardia, malaise, headache, and cough. A bloody nose is also seen in this quarter of the disease and abdominal pain is also possible. There is also a decrease in the number of WBCs. Widal test is negative in the first week of the disease.
• In the second week, the person is often too tired to get up, with a very high fever and bradycardia is continued in this stage also with dicrotic pulse wave. In this stage, Delirium is frequent which gives the typhoid another name i.e. NERVOUS FEVER. Rose spots also appear on the lower chest and abdomen. Rhonchi are heard in lung bases. Diarrhea can occur in this stage : six to eight stools in a day, green, comparable to pea soup, with a characteristic foul smell. However, constipation is also frequent. The spleen and liver is enlarged and liver transaminases are elevated. Patients can still test positive.
The major symptoms of this fever is that the fever usually rises in the afternoon up to the first and second week.
• In the third week of the fever, a number of complications can occur like : Intestinal hemorrhage due to bleeding in congested Peyer’s patches: it can be very serious but is not usually fatal. Intestinal perforation in the distal ileum: this is a very serious complication and is usually fatal. Encephalitis. Respiratory diseases such as pneumonia and acute bronchitis. Neuropsychiatric symptoms with picking at bedclothes or imaginary objects. Metastatic abscesses, cholestasis, endocarditis, and osteitis. The fever is usually very high and oscillates very little over 24 hours. Dehydration is also caused. Platelet count goes down and risk of bleeding rises.

If you pick up a dictionary, the definition you’ll find for the word ‘feminism’. In simple terms, there shouldn’t be any injustice met out to either sex. They should be treated equally. But, off late, a new type of feminism is developing which is rightly called as pseudo feminism. Pseudo feminists hold a strong resolve to correct all the injustices done to women, mostly by lashing out at men and demeaning them. What they forget is the basic essence of feminism movement: equality. Another form of pseudo feminism, according to me, is the feminism of convenience. The biggest example being: men paying for dates. If we’re as equal as women proclaim to be, why can’t a restaurant bill be split between the two? The reason is simple-men are too egoistic to let a woman pay, and for a few women it miraculously becomes a man’s job to pay for the date. Where, I ask these feminists, does the feminism vanish then?
Feminism is now a muddied term. Difficult to say what it means today. We often don’t realise it, but pseudo feminism is all around us, hiding behind feminism in clandestine. We’re the women shouting for equal rights everywhere, but don’t waste a single minute asking a guy sitting on a Ladies Reserved seat to vacate it. Why do we need reservations in general coaches? Since we’re able bodied, strong, grown-up women of strength, can’t we stand in a general coach? Men doing 9-5 jobs, burning their hours toiling hard to earn, are as tired as we are. It is just a very preposterous notion. Like it’s correctly said, two wrongs don’t make a right.
Although they are in the minority, it’s a crystal clear truth there are men who too are subjected to sexual crimes. The numbers of cases reported to the police are on the lower side, because most of the men don’t report such crime for the fear of being ridiculed at, not being believed and instead facing the charges themselves. Men are mostly kidnapped and abducted for illegal sexual intercourse, forced marriages, prostitution, etc. The number of such victims is really low but it’s a fact we cannot ignore. When we are talking of rising violence against women, we shouldn’t neglect the fact that somewhere out there are men also being subjected to same brutalities.
Board results are a few months away, but a boy has passed with flying colors by refusing to be part of a plan to rape a girl, hatched by the girl herself, who was pretending to be a boy. The boy passed but, many say, feminism failed. They have been saying that for years now. They are not too off the mark though. While it may not have failed, it sure has taken a huge hit.
Fake accounts, false allegations and fraudulent charges have harmed men and their reputations. They are also building a case against women’s right to stay in the fight for justice. Part of the problem is the fact that the odds are heavily stacked against women. But another part of the problem is the way women used social media to fight this battle.
Each true story helps build credibility. Each false story is turned into a weapon against the fight for gender justice. The girl, who faked herself as a boy, is not part of the Bois Locker Room chats, but the story is now all about this one girl who faked her identity.
So what should women do?
I will answer with what they should not.
One, do not shoot and scoot. Don’t get into it if you cannot stay in it. Weigh in before you jump in. This is for the long haul. There is a lot of mudslinging that happens. You can’t escape the splashes.
Two, do not use fake accounts to bring down men. It’s easy to prove. The consequences are for everyone – the man, the movement and also you. Take care of You. Take care of the fight that is for us to stand equal to men with no biases in workplaces, no casual sexism, no acid attacks, no rapes and no honor killings.
If true feminism was followed, then we would treat all the victims equally. Victims would cease to be women or men, but just victims of abuse. But sadly, that is not the case. Pseudo feminism shouts out loudly that men can’t be raped, men can’t be tormented, and men claiming to have been put under such atrocities are lying cheats. It’s most likely that I would be branded ‘anti-feminist’ by pseudo feminists all around, but I don’t mind. I don’t mind because I know how to stand up for my fellow sisters when they actually need it.
When a woman is put on fire, when she is raped, is brutalized, is stripped naked on the streets, forced to quit her studies to marry a man three times her senior in age, when she is blamed if she is raped, or teased, when a woman is beaten repeatedly for refusing to pressurize her parents into paying dowry, when she is considered inferior to her male counterparts, that is when I need to give voice to my anger and lash out at the people responsible for it. If I am a true feminist, I will do the same if it were a man being stoned on the streets, being raped, being accused of a fake rape, being doubted over just because he is a man. As Gloria Steinem rightly said, a feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men.
Not all men do it, but all women suffer through it.
Stress name is enough to load stress on the human mind, however, every person in this world had passed through stress, but the beautiful thing is that how people can handle it and overcome from it, stress is a part of the human mind and Stress is a feeling of emotional or physical tension. It can come from any event or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry, or nervous. Stress is your body’s reaction to a challenge or demand. In short bursts, stress can be positive, such as when it helps you avoid danger or meet a deadline, it totally depends on the human action on how we can handle positively or negatively by committing a crime or by suicide.
However, our whole life is full of stress, from birth to till death, like after having a birth people start taking decision regarding the future life, when we enter the school at the time teachers and faculty give homework and assignment to finish from home if we don’t complete it, have to face parents, so, we have this stress, further, 10th and 12th exam pass out stress, yet when we pass 12th anyhow, graduation and post-graduation stress, and latest job and marriage stress, at the end of the life stress of pain and diseases. But the major thing is that many people do not wait for old age they lost their life by suicide, their mind and heart are not enough strong to handle the load or not mentally prepare for further future.
In addition, our education system also have fault like they give dept education of History, science, maths, languages and many more, but they do not give lessons on how to handle depression, anxiety and stress, by organizing I.T. fair or science fair student only enjoy, it affects only a few hours. But organizing a stress relief program where students can understand how to handle any life turning modes. After completing the study, people try to find jobs or developing their business, but after a long struggle some get success or many get a failure, and that is the major turn of life if any person handles well, they get the real success in life.
Many famous celebrities are renown by their comeback from stress like famous cricketers Yuvraj Singh, and famous actor Akshay Kumar and Nawazuddin Siddiqui both belong to small and poor families but now every nook and corner people know them. However, in the year between 2009 to till date, around more than 100 celebrities commit suicide in that list include Stephanie Adams, Chester Bennington, David Berman, Joseph Brooks, David Buckel, Malik Bendjelloul and many more they all are from Hollywood, but recently a well-known actor Sushant Singh Rajput committed suicide it just bingeing of the journey and he did a great job by acting as lead actor in MS Dhoni the untold story, Kedarnath, Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!, and Chhichhore.
In Chhichhore, done a great job and he delivered a beautiful line “Hum haar jeet, success failure mein itna ulajh gaye hai … ki zindagi jeena bhool gaye hai … zindagi mein agar kuch sabse zyada important hai … toh woh hai khud zindagi” and by considering this line many failures get motivation and done grate thing in the life, but the lead actor committed suicide, which is not relevant, he has to share his problems with family or friends, he definitely gets a solution and he still present with us.
there are some exercise to overcome from it like, Yoga, Qigong, Walking, Gardening, Dancing, Circuit Training, play Tennis or do some boxing whit pillow on the wall, this all help to relieve stress. nowadays the best way to come out stress is by doing a party or hanging out with friends.
So, considering this all thing, give value to your life, and enjoy your life.

It is easy to urge swayed by the plethora of activities which occur in college. Amidst all this it’s crucial to stay track of the tutorial workload or it’s commonplace to urge caught up by the pressure during the last months of the semester. Check out these tips for effective time management. 1. Write down everythingWith everything going digital, we frequently forget to truly write things down. Be it assignment deadlines or extra classes, writing down saves us from the last moment panic. Keep a separate notebook to write down down everything important. This helps in proper planning and completing the tasks. 2. Cellphone as an efficient toolIt is easy to get lost in the world of endless scrolling in the social networking apps. But with self regulation we can use our mobile phone as our best tool. Keep a copy of the class notes and books in the digital form. This helps in revising things even when books aren’t around. 3. Maintain your healthDo not take your health for granted. Having irregular sleeping habits, improper diets, excessive alcohol and drug usage deteriorate the body slowly. Without proper health, it’s impossible to cope up with college academics, extra-curriculars. Thus your health should be your first priority. 4. Be organizedKeep your things during a way such you are doing not need to spend hours just checking out them. Having books, notebooks, assignment copies in proper places saves tons of your time and helps in completing task faster. Even for the digital copies, arrange them in proper directories. It is also important to stay only the required items and take away the rubbish . 5. Prioritize your tasksYou should have a clear idea of what to do when. Prioritize your activities. This helps in increasing your overall efficiency. It is okay not to do all those things which others are doing. Focus on your goals and work on reaching them.
Time management is probably the foremost crucial element of productivity and it’s also what we get wrong most of the time. Either we get too aggressive about managing time that we stress ourselves beyond the limit or we abate such a lot that each one the work gets accumulated for the last hour. Try to follow the tips below
1 . Say no to micro and macro managementDo not think too ahead when managing time. In that way all what happens is building castles within the air until all of them break down. Also don’t think too rigorously i.e by every half an hour for what you’ve got to try to to . Set an achievable target consistent with your potential and check out to realize it within the deadline set. 2. Write down the tasksYou can use simple note taking apps like Google Keep to notice down your goals. You can also use a Whatsapp group (where you’re the only member) to stay a note of the essential things. Writing down a task prevents you from forgetting it and acts as a push to finish it. 3. Year, month, week, dayBreak your goal into the months needed to finish it. Then further reduce it into rough plans for weeks. From here you can set your daily targets and work on them. Before getting to sleep, have your targets ready for subsequent day. It will take considerable effort to stick within the first few days but once you begin you’ll adapt to the target. 4. Rewards and buffer timeMicro-rewards for completing every task gives you another reason to end it. It can be anything from eating your favourite ice cream to watch that long awaited movie. Think that you simply wouldn’t roll in the hay until you finish your goal. Apart from this, keep some buffer time within the routine. It adds flexibility to the schedule and may be helpful if you miss the target thanks to some reason. Read this text on additional tips to enhance yourself on a daily basis. 5. Prioritization and Cutoff tasksPrioritise your tasks. Make sure you are doing the foremost important tasks first. People often fall under a trap of finishing the better tasks first, thinking that they had a productive time. But that is only fooling yourself. You know automatically which would be the most challenging task. So confirm that’s finished first at any cost. Manage your tasks well. Apart from this, set a cutoff for every task. This means that albeit the whole task isn’t finished, confirm to end an honest amount of it.
6. Stay clear of toxic activitiesDo not engage in activities that are toxic and unnecessary. They do not increase your growth in any manner and are nothing but wastage of your energy and time. Stay beyond all such things which prevent you from completing your tasks and reduce the general productivity.
In a world with 195 countries and every country separated with a border consisting of various human kind, culture, race, caste, and speaking different languages,makes me realise how vast our world is and what makes us different from the other people living in a different country or state. Language is the only key which helps us to express our feelings, desires and queries to the world around us. A language is a way of communicating with the others and it is the only thing which describes who we are,it defines our lifestyle and our culture. Though we live in the same house sharing the same blood relation,we speak differently, our tone always differs. I have also experimented a new language Japanese and have explored multiple and hidden treasures of this language. While I was learning I realised that it is not only a difficult language to learn but it teaches you enormous things of living a new life, adapting their gestures, their culture and also gives you the advantage to experience a unique cuisine and makes you aware of the fascinating facts about Japanese culture.

“Men have emotions too so don’t be shy to cry. It’s ok to let it out. It’s not weakness but a sign of strength. Be man to feel. Feeling is human.” Tweet from Sushanth Singh Rajput. People can’t beleive that the same man who tweeted can commit suicide.Being a man doesn’t mean you can’t cry or show your pain in any form. Tears and Pain is not gendercentric, as it is a form of expression by humans and all species. Have the courage to express your emotions for better.

He last used the Twitter on December 2019 which also confirms the news of his depression from last six months.Suicide by sushant singh rajput is a grave reminder to us that you never know what a person is going through. To everyone out there who’s hurting in silence, you may not want to exist right now, but someone is happy that you do. You are worthy.Never give up.No death note. Preliminary investigation is not yet complete. We don’t really know what has happened, let his soul rest in peace. We have to know the truth. 6 days ago, his ex-manager committed suicide. Police hasn’t ruled out anything yet.One middle class small town guy came to mumbai touched sky against all odds , inspired millions middle class but now you suddenly left , we can’t understand what pain you were going through but we will always miss you.
Did he knew what we know now. He had a list of 50 dreams which meant that he had to fulfill his dreams before he could commit suicide?
The depression we feel, the happiness we enjoy, the moments we live are temporary. Remember everything is a feeling and it doesn’t last long. You can trust anybody except yourself. Don’t become the fool who try to fool the fool within you. The love we get is the love we give. You can expect someone to treat you the same way you did to them but you can’t expect it from the life.
Life is unpredictable and can act unfair to anyone because it has a feeling that feeling is just a feeling and act cruelly. If life turns you upside down then don’t try to escape from it. You rather try to look the life in the way it expects you to look. Then life will change its way to again change you so that your life again comes to normal.
The chemical agents are mostly employed in disinfection and antisepsis. The proper use of these agents is essential to laboratory and hospital safety. Many disinfectants are available and each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but ideally the disinfectant must be effective against a wide variety of infectious agents. The disinfectant must be stable upon storage, odorless, or with pleasant order, soluble in water and lipids for penetration into microorganisms, and have a low surface tension through that it can enter cracks in surfaces.
Phenols In 1867, Joseph Lister employed it to reduce the risk of infection during operations and phenol was the first widely used antiseptic and disinfectant. Today phenol and phenolics such as cresols, xylenols, and orthophenylphenol are used as disinfectants in laboratories and hospitals. Lysol is made of a mixture of phenolics which is commercially available disinfectant. They act by denaturing proteins and disrupting cell membranes.
Alcohols Alcohols are the most widely used disinfectant and antiseptic. They are bactericidal and fungicidal but not sporicidal. Ethanol and isopropanol are the two most popular alcohol germicides. Small instruments like thermometers can be disinfected by soaking them for 10 to 15 minutes in alcohol solutions. 70% ethanol is more effective than 95% as water is needed for proteins to coagulate.
Halogens Halogens exist as diatomic molecules in the free state and form salt like compounds with sodium and most other metals. Iodine and chlorine are the most important antimicrobial agents. Spores can be destroyed at higher concentration. Iodine is often applied as tincture of iodine, 2% or more iodine in a water-ethanol solution of potassium iodide. Skin scars result and sometimes iodine allergies can result. Chlorine is mostly used as a disinfectant for municipal water supplies and swimming pools and also employed in dairy and food industry. It may be applied as chlorine gas, sodium hypochlorite or calcium hypochlorite, all of which yield hypochlorous acid and then atomic oxygen.
Heavy metals Heavy metals such as mercury, silver, arsenic, zinc and copper were used as germicides and these have nit been most recently superseded by other less toxic and more effective germicides. A 1% solution of silver nitrate if often added to the eyes of infants to prevent ophthalmic gonorrhea but now erythromycin is used instead of silver nitrate because it is more effective. Silver sulfadiazine is used on burns. Copper sulphate is an effective algicide in lakes and swimming pools. The action of these heavy metals is mostly on the proteins, and they combine often with their sulfhydryl groups, and inactivate them. They may also precipitate cell proteins.
Quaternary ammonium compounds Detergents are organic molecules that serve as wetting agents and emulsifiers and are amphipathic in nature and hence solubilize otherwise insoluble residues and are very effective cleansing agents and are efficient from soaps, which are derived from fats. Only cationic detergent are effective disinfectants characterized by positively charged quaternary nitrogen and a long hydrophobic aliphatic chain. They are mostly used as disinfectants for food utensils and small instruments and as skin antiseptics.
Sterilizing gases Gases may also be used as sterilizing agents in order to sterilize many heat-sensitive items such as disposable petri dishes and many syringes, heat-lung machine components, sutures, etc. Ethylene oxide gas is used for this purpose as it readily penetrates packing materials, even plastic wraps and is both microbicidal and sporicidal and kills by combining with cell proteins.
Hydrogen peroxide Hydrogen peroxide effects our direct and indirect actions of oxygen as it forms hydroxyl free radical which is highly toxic and reactive to cells. As an antiseptic, 3% hydrogen peroxide serves a variety of needs including skin and wound cleansing, bedsore care and mouth washing. When it is applied to a wound, the enzyme catalase in the tissue decomposes the hydrogen peroxide into water and free oxygen. The oxygen causes the wound tissues to bubble and the bubbling removes microorganism mechanically.
Acids and alkalis Aqueous solutions of ammonium hydroxide remain a common component of detergent, cleanser and deodorizers. Organic acids are widely used in food preservatives because they prevent spore germination and bacterial and fungal growth. Acetic acid in the form of vinegar is a picking agents that inhibits bacterial growth, propionic acid is commonly incorporated into breads and cakes to retard molds, benzoic acid and sorbic acids are added to beverages, syrups to inhibit yeasts.
