Learning is the process of acquiring new understanding, knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, attitudes, and preferences. The ability to learn is possessed by humans, animals, and some machines; there is also evidence for some kind of learning in certain plants.
The Ode may be defined as a ‘rhymed lyric often in the form of an address, generally dignified or exalted in the subject, feeling and style’. It is also defined as any ‘strain of enthusiastic or exalted lyrical verse directed to fixed purpose and dealing progressively with a dignified theme’. An ode is noted for its logical evolution of thoughts and it has a certain amount of complexity and elaboration, unlike a simple lyric.
An ode usually begins with an address to somebody or something. Sometimes the opening line or lines may contain an apostrophe as in the case of Shelley’s ‘Ode to the west wind’ or Tennyson’s ‘To Virgil’s. An ode may be written on an important public event or the death of a distinguished person. Marvell’s ‘Ode upon Cromwell’s Return from Ireland’ belongs to the first category and Tennyson’s ‘Ode on the Death of Duke of Wellington’ belongs to the second category.
Origin of Ode:
The ode is of Greek origin. There were two traditions of odes in Greece. The first type of the Dorian mode was so called from the district and dialect in which it arose. It is also called the Pindaric ode because Pindar, the ancient Greek poet, was its greatest exponent. The second type of ode is the lesbian old so-called because it flourished at first on the island of lesbos. It is also called the horatian ode because the great Latin poet Horace was its best practitioner. Thomas Gray’s odes ‘The progress of Poesy” and “The Bard” belong to the Dorian or Pindaric school. Marvell’s ‘Ode upon Cromwell’s Return from Ireland’ is the best example of a Horatian ode in English.
A pindaric or Dorian ade consists of three parts:
The strophe, the anti-strophe, and the epode. they correspond to the three stages of the recital of an ode during a dance. The Horatian ode consists of several short stanzas similar in length and arrangement.
In the early stages, the English ode was influenced by the two Greek models. But gradually the English ode begins to pursue a course of its own. There are two types of odes in English, the regular and the regular.
Regular odes:
The regular odes have a series of exactly similar stanzas as in the odes of Keats. Other examples of regular verbs are Collin’s ‘ode to evening’ and Shelley’s ‘ode to the west wind’.
Irregular odes:
Irregular odes have tons of different lengths and arrangements. There are sudden changes in versification, meter, and mood. Wordsworth’s Ode on Intimations of Immortality from recollections of early childhood and Coleridge’s ‘Dejection: An Ode’ are good examples of irregular odes.
Some famous odes:
Ode To A Nightingale John Keats. My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains.
Ode On A Grecian Urn John Keats.
Ode To Autumn John Keats.
Ode To The West Wind Percy Bysshe Shelley.
Ode To Wine Pablo Neruda.
Ode To Sadness Pablo Neruda.
Ode On Solitude Alexander Pope.
Ode To The Book Pablo Neruda.
Conclusion:
In English Ben Jonson, Milton and Gray wrote Pindaric Odes. Marvell road Horatian odes. Other important poets who wrote odes were Spenser, Collins, Keats, Shelley, and Tennyson. Perhaps the ode is the most popular lyrics form except the Sonnet.
The Culture of Uttar Pradesh is an Indian Culture which has its roots in the Hindi and Urdu literature, music, fine arts, drama and cinema. Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, has several beautiful historical monuments such as Bara Imambara and Chhota Imambara. It has also preserved the damaged complex of the Oudh-period British Resident’s quarters, which are being restored.
Uttar Pradesh attracts large number of visitors, both national and international; with more than 71 million domestic tourists (in 2003) and almost 25% of the All-India foreign tourists visiting Uttar Pradesh, it is one of the top tourist destinations in India. There are two regions in the state where a majority of the tourists go, viz. the Hindu pilgrimage circuit and the Agra circuit.
The pilgrimage circuit includes the holiest of the Hindu holy cities on the banks of sacred rivers Ganges and the Yamuna: Varanasi (also considered world’s oldest city), Ayodhya (birthplace of Lord Rama), Mathura (birthplace of Lord Krishna), Vrindavan (the village where Lord Krishna spent his childhood), and Allahabad (Prayagraj) (the confluence or ‘holy-sangam’ of the sacred Ganges-Yamuna rivers).
The city of Agra, gives access to three World Heritage Sites: Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and the nearby Fatehpur Sikri. Taj Mahal is a mausoleum built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It is cited as “the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world’s heritage”. Agra Fort is about 2.5 km northwest of its much more famous sister monument, the Taj Mahal. The fort can be more accurately described as a walled palatial city. Fatehpur Sikri was the world-famous 16th-century capital city near Agra, built by the Mughal emperor Akbar the Great, whose mausoleum in Agra is also worth a visit. Dayal Bagh in Agra is a modern-day temple and popular tourist sight. Its lifelike sculptures in marble are unique in India.
MUSIC AND DANCE – The state is home to a very old tradition in dance and music. During the eras of Guptas and Harsh Vardhan, Uttar Pradesh was a major centre for musical innovation. Swami Haridas was a great saint-musician who championed Hindustani Classical Music. Tansen, the great musician in Mughal Emperor Akbar’s court, was a disciple of Swami Haridas.
Kathak, a classical dance form, involving gracefully coordinated movements of feet along with entire body, grew and flourished in Uttar Pradesh. Wajid Ali Shah, the last Nawab of Awadh, was a great patron and a passionate champion of Kathak. Today, the state is home to two prominent schools of this dance form, namely, Lucknow Gharana and Banaras Gharana.
LANGUAGE – The common state-language of Uttar Pradesh is standard Hindi. While standard Hindi (Khari boli) is the official language, several important regional Hindi ‘dialects’ are spoken in the state and among these are: Awadhi, Bhojpuri, Braj, Kannauji, Kaurvi, Gurjari, Bagheli and Bundeli, besides several local dialects that do not have a formal name. Urdu is prominent in Uttar Pradesh as Lucknow was once the centre of Indo-Persianate culture in north India.
Pacific ocean is the largest ocean in the whole world, covering 32 % of the Earth’s total surface area and about 46% of the Earth’s water. It also has the largest number of coral species. It stretches to the Bering Sea in the north and the Southern ocean to the South, in the west are the continents of Australia and Asia and on the east the Americas. The world’s deepest point, The Challenger deep in the Mariana Trench (eastern boundary of the Filipine tectonic plate), reaching a depth of 35,850 feet is located in the Pacific ocean. It also has the southern hemisphere’s deepest point- The Horizon deep in the Tonga Trench at a depth of 35,509 feet. It also has many marginal seas-
South China sea
East China sea
Sea of Japan
Sea of Okhotsk
The Philippine sea
Coral sea
Solomon sea
Tasman sea
Yellow sea
The word Pacific means ‘Peaceful’ though the ocean is anything but peaceful. The Pacific ocean has the ‘Pacific Ring of fire’, the largest ring of active volcanoes and earthquake zone in the world. The Japanese Islands and The Philippines islands are a result of volcanic activity. The Pacific ocean has the largest number of islands (around 25,000) including the island groups of Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia (he largest- stretching from Hawaii to New Zealand) and the world’s largest archipalego- The Indonesian islands, an island groups of around 17,500 islands. It also has the Great Barrier Reef, the largest coral reef(2,300 km) along the eastern coast of Australia and The Coral Sea islands, atolls present to the west of the barrier reef. The temperature decreases longitudinally going towards the poles, though the temperate region has the highest temperature. There also exist latitudinal variations depending upon the oceanic currents. Salinity also varies latitudinally as well as longitudinally with temperature. High temperature zone have high salinity. Addition of fresh water lowers the salinity. The ocean currents also lead to intermixing of currents thereby lowering the salinity. The highest surface salinity occurs in the southeastern zone and the lowest salinity occurs in the extreme northern zone of the Pacific.
This is something about the largest and one of the most majestic oceans in the world.
Kindly note: Use the acronym PAISA to remember names of the 5 type of oceans:
‘Growing up with Teens’ by Ruchi Verma, is a psychological approach that revolves around the lives of Teens. I loved to explore this genre. It intrigues me a lot, how parents establish connections with their offspring, how they involve in the process of long-term behavioural management. So, to explore the reality I read this book.
This book was all about the vision of teen parenting. It is not an easy task to raise a teenager, but with the right approach, every parent puts forward to make this journey easier. As communication should not be a barrier in your relationships with your offspring, and these methods will definitely help you to begin better conversations with your teenage kids.
Ruchi Verma states ‘Each day as a parent we too are growing up and understanding the other side of the story.’ This book comprises of 12 chapters. Every section deals with new challenges that emerge in the road of family life. There are so many questions that arise with this set of age, in regards to emotional, physical and social changes. And the perspective, author shared here, is really a nice construct if you can agree to put it into practice this book is really helpful to parents.
Ruchi Verma offers a whole section on communication that I liked the most about this novel. The author acknowledges many important points, for example─ why communication is important? How your teens want to communicate? Do and don’ts of communications.
‘Don’t assume or read their mind. If you don’t understand certain behaviour change or less communication or even, they are not doing things according to the rules made by you’.
‘Listening means letting them finish their story and their thoughts. Just make sure when they talk, look in their eyes, and show interest in their versions. Your opinion on that same topic might differ but remember to give them equal opportunity to put forward their opinions so that they don’t feel neglected.
As a reader, I have mixed feelings about this novel. On the positive side, Ruchi Verma shared some absolute gems of tips and advice based on her personal and professional experiences. She comes up with the idea of talk about adolescence, depression, anxiety. Adding to this, she explored myths and taboos of sex education in India. ‘We carry a hush-hush talking attitude for years. It’s high time to change and break this taboo. Teaching your child this aspect is as important as giving them any other education’.
Not only had she incorporated discussion on daughter’s puberty but also added her son’s too. I have found it to be immensely practical and loved reading it.
The author has rightly convinced me to go on reading the book because every page gave me a new idea about the way she handles the teen’s mind swings. On the other side, I found the information bit repetitive. I so wish it were organized a bit differently.
Reading this book has enhanced the way we look at the behaviour of teens, and the way we feel their life is easy, but they also go through various emotional traumas. ‘It is important to teach both boys and girls that they are equal in the society, and one should respect the other gender’s emotions and consent always.
One of the most ancient games in the world — a crude form of the sport was played in Egypt some 4,000 years ago — the history of hockey can be traced back to 1527 in Scotland. Back then, it was called ‘hokie’ – where players hit around a small ball with sticks.However, the first version of modern-day field hockey was developed by the British sometime between the late 18th and early 19th century. It was introduced as a popular school game then and made its way to the Indian army during British rule in the 1850s.In the next few decades, national competitions like the Beighton Cup in Calcutta and Aga Khan tournament in Bombay (now Mumbai) popularised the sport further, especially in erstwhile provinces of Bombay and Punjab.
Ask any sportsperson, the pinnacle of sporting success for them is to stand on the Olympic podium and see their country’s national flag rise in that hallowed arena. It is that dream that pushes them into making sacrifices as they chase Olympic glory.The London Olympics saw India finally take steps towards realising its true potential at the Olympics. Abhinav Bindra had raised the bar in Beijing with a first ever individual Gold medal.Just one individual Gold in a country of a billion plus people. Even the six medals at London 2012 were nowhere close to the tally India should be aspiring for. But at least it was a start.
However no story of Indian sport is complete without a look back at a rich legacy. The Champions of today are inspired by past generations who have coveted Olympic glory. Only a handful have managed to attain the ultimate glory in world sport, an Olympic medal.Yet the story of India at the Olympics begins with Hockey. Very rarely has a sport been as synonymous with a country than India and Hockey. It is a rich legacy, 8 gold medals, six of those consecutive wins across four decades.
Dominance in the world of hockey
After a rocky relationship with the Olympic Games until 1924 — hockey was only played in 1908 and 1920 and dropped for the other editions — the presence of a global sports body (FIH) ensured that hockey gained permanent Olympic status starting Amsterdam 1928. The Indian Hockey Federation applied and earned an FIH membership in 1927, thus ensuring that the Indian hockey team would play its first Olympics in 1928.It was the beginning of a legacy – decorated with eight gold medals – a record till today.
The Indian hockey team clinched the Olympic gold medal in its first attempt in 1928. India played five matches, scoring 29 goals and conceding none, with Dhyan Chand scoring 14 of them.The hockey wizard became the cornerstone of the Indian hockey team as it won two more gold medals in 1932 and 1936, completing a hat-trick of Olympic hockey golds. Dhyan Chand was made captain in 1936 in what would prove to be his final Olympic Games.
Unfortunately there were no Olympics in 1940 and 1944 due to the Second World War and that was the last the Olympics saw of Dhyan Chand. In 1948 a newly independent India had to battle not just strong teams but also cope with the exodus of players to Pakistan.When the Olympics returned after World War II in 1948, India found a new genius in the legendary Balbir Singh Sr. as he steered them to a second hat-trick of Olympic gold medals in 1948, 1952, and 1956, this time as an independent nation. The period was one of the most significant in the history of hockey in India. While Pakistan halted the gold run in the final at the 1960 Rome Olympics, India would ascend to the top step at Tokyo 1964. However, it was apparent that India’s domination of the sport was weakening. The Indian hockey team had won silver at the 1958 and 1962 Asian Games, before finally winning gold in the 1966 edition. However, India only managed a bronze at Mexico 1968, in what was then their lowest finish in the Olympics.
In 1968 and 1972 the team returned with a Bronze medal while Montreal saw the team draw a blank, unable to adjust to a change from grass to artificial turf. The pain of those campaigns is expressed by 3-time medallist Harbinder Singh, Ashok Kumar, Aslam Sher Khan and Dr Vece Paes. Hockey expanded its reach beyond the Olympics with the first Hockey World Cup held in 1971 in Spain. Though Pakistan beat Spain to win the title and India finished third, the sport was steadily gaining popularity in Europe, and innovations were underway.
While India’s representation in global hockey was largely restricted to the men, the women’s team made its first appearance in international competition at the inaugural women’s Hockey World Cup in 1974, finishing a creditable fourth.There seemed to be an upturn when the men’s team won its only World Cup title in 1975.
1980s-2008: A period of declination of performance
The 1980s actually began well for the Indian hockey teams.The men’s team took advantage of a depleted field to win their eighth Olympic gold at Moscow 1980 while the women’s team finished fourth in what was the first edition of women’s hockey at the Olympics.At the 1982 Asian Games in New Delhi, where women’s hockey was played for the first time, the women’s Indian hockey team clinched a historic gold at home while the men’s team won silver.
The introduction of hockey at the Commonwealth Games in 1998 provided another platform for global hockey. The Indian men’s and women’s teams finished fourth in the inaugural edition.The decline of Indian hockey hit rock bottom in 2008 when the men’s team, for the first time since 1928, failed to qualify for the Beijing Olympics.
Revival of Indian hockey
After the disappointment of 2008, the men’s Indian hockey team responded by returning to the podium at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, winning silver and the 2010 Asian Games, where they won bronze.The men’s Indian hockey team qualified for the 2012 London Olympics. Though India ended last, it represented a small bit of progress.
In the years since, Indian hockey seems to have found its feet again.The women’s team, led by Rani Rampal, won silver at the 2018 Asian Games, achieving their best ranking of ninth in the world the same year and qualified for a second-consecutive Olympics in Tokyo the following year.The men’s Indian hockey team has imbibed an attacking philosophy under new head coach Graham Reid and young captain Manpreet Singh.India played their first FIH Pro League campaign in 2020, winning games against the best in the world like Belgium, Australia and the Netherlands and rising to fourth in the world rankings, their best in history.
Indian men’s hockey team today displayed a great game of counter-attacking play as it won defeated Germany 5-4 in the bronze medal play-offs at the Tokyo Olympics today. Indian men’s hockey team won an Olympic medal after a gap of 41 years. India’s last of the eight Olympic golds came way back in the 1980 Moscow Games.The eight-time former gold-winners, who battled a heartbreaking slump in the last four decades, made the resurgence of the last couple of years count in the best way possible with an Olympic medal.
People face an extreme, irrational and persistent threat of water known as ‘aquaphobia’. It’s a fairly common fear which differs in severity from person to person. Traveling through waterways, going near swimming pools, water bodies or even entering a bathtub might seem life threatening to some people.
Aquaphobia is a specific phobia. This is an irrational fear of something that doesn’t cause much danger. You may have aquaphobia if you find that any source of water causes you an excessive amount of anxiety. This can include a swimming pool, a lake, an ocean, or even a bathtub.
The most common cause of aquaphobia is a previous negative experience. If you have been through a near-drowning experience, shipwreck, or even a bad swimming lesson, you are more likely to develop a phobia of water. Learning to swim is a rite of passage for many children, and frightening experiences are common.
The word “thalassophobia” refers to a fear of the ocean or other large, deep bodies of water. Thalassophobia is different from aquaphobia, which is a fear of water itself. Aquaphobia can include a fear of being in any body of water, including small ones.
Some of the more common symptoms of aquaphobia include: an immediate feeling of intense fear, anxiety, and panic when thinking about water. a persistent, excessive, or unreasonable fear when exposed to water. recognizing that the fear of water is excessive or out of proportion to the actual threat.
Aquaphobia is highly treatable. Exposure therapy and CBT are effective treatments that help reduce feelings of fear, anxiety, and panic in people with specific phobias.
We all are familiar with the term Pollution and have heard and observed it lot of times. But here , I want to discuss different types of pollution’s effect on our Environment and health. whether it be air pollution, water pollution , noise pollution ,soil pollution or any other pollution. it has some serious effect on our environment.
As we all know that pollution is an undesirable change in the physical or chemical change in our environment due to accumulation of harmful substances and these substances who causes this pollution are called pollutants.
Now let us discuss some adverse effect of different types of pollution in our environment :-
Effects due to air pollution: it is the one of the most common pollution it is caused due to unwanted particles in air. Major pollutants are carbon monoxide, oxide of Sulphur, hydrocarbons ,carbon dioxide etc.
Carbon monoxide : carbon monoxide has a damaging effect on us. it has affinity with haemoglobin and forms stable compound , due to which oxygen capacity of haemoglobin reduces.it can cause headaches, exhaustion and other effects . it can even cause death.
Oxides of Sulphur : it causes breathing difficulties and diseases like asthma and bronchitis. It is also harmful to plants and animals. Sulphur dioxide with Sulphur trioxide and water forms Sulphorous acid and Sulphuric acid. which causes acid rain. acid rain can damages various buildings plants and aquatic life.
Hydrocarbons: They are very dangerous and many hydrocarbons like methane when oxidizes with Carbon dioxide can increase amount of carbon dioxide in nature. Alkyl nitrates when reacting with molecules in atmosphere can affect blood kidneys and nervous system.
Carbon dioxide : high concentration of carbon dioxide can cause global warming and due to global warming it affects our climate and other things.
2. Effects due to water pollution : it is due to the unwanted substances in water bodies. which make it unfit and harmful for use.
Effects of nitrates : Excessive presence of nitrates in water is unfit to drink , especially for infants. This excessive nitrates is due to the use of hydrogen fertilizers.
Effect of pesticides: pesticides can easily penetrate our skin. it can also cause lung related problems.
effect of domestic wastes : it contains a lot of organic matter in forms of soap , detergents and food. such pollutants causes water pollution and can lead to diseases like typhoid cholera Diarrhoea. organic waste from various industries enter in water bodies and cause excessive growth of aquatic vegetation and decreases oxygen content of water.
3. Effects due to soilpollution : it causes loss of natural nutrients , soil organic matter and imbalances the nutrients present in the soil. crops that are grown in contaminated soil can absorbs those toxic material. it weakens the strength of trees. soil erosion is a very common problem.
4. Effects due to Noise pollution : Noise pollution occurs due to unwanted disturbing sound that causes problems to us. Excessive exposure to noise pollution can weaken our ears , can cause headaches , stress and anxiety. Noise pollution can damage ecosystem and also wildlife.
5. Effects due to radiation pollution : it is caused due to contamination of air , water with radioactive materials.
Effects of radioactive pollution: Radioactive pollution is a very dangerous and harmful pollution. it can cause diseases like cancer , haemorrhage etc. it can cause infertility of soil . radioactive pollution can damage plants it can affect their life.
nuclear disaster : a devastating fire in the reactor of chernobyl nuclear power plant took place on 26 April 198+6. this resulted in clouds of radioactive smoke affecting nearly 20000 people. Even today many people are suffering due to that.(veer Bala Rastogi , 237).
These all pollutions stated are very harmful for us . we should follow certain steps to decrease their effect in our environment .
Introduction: Adult lifestyle symbolises the way an adult prefers to the lead the rest of their life. Adults have the choice to do whatever they want. It’s up to them to make the right choice and to choose the right person they want to spend their time with. Society has come a long way in terms of adult relationships and ways of expressing them. In earlier times, the only relationship between people were marriages but these days, things have changed or been revised. Every adult would pick a choice that is healthy and comfortable for them such as being single, hooking up, being friends with benefits, co habilitation or marriage.
• Single hood: Single hood was popularized in the early 20’s as many people had many reasons to not want to be with someone else or wanting to be a part of somebody else’s life. They could have made the choice due to numerous reasons. Some could be the fact that they haven’t found anybody they liked or anybody compatible with them or somebody who understands them better than others. This is very common nowadays in young adults as this give some more space and time to learn about themselves and focus on their career and learn to grow.
• Hooking up: Hooking up also popularised in the late 20s. This was not a thing back in the day as many people believed in pure relations and marriages being the ultimate goal. People probably hook up because they do not want to commit to a relationship or they are just looking for a way to destress.
• Friends with benefits: Friends with benefits is when both the parties exchange mutual pleasure. This is where none of them have committed to relationship but still spend time with each other having sexual relations. But that is where it stops. At times, it could also grow into something else or it could end, as one person might catch feelings for the other and it might make things uncomfortable and awkward.
• Co habilitation: Cohabitation is 2 people lived together under the same roof. This is very common in American societies but not outside America as the parents don’t approve of this as it is not conventional and appropriate. The penis my be worried about what other people might have to say. Sometimes it is not ideal for couples as they might grow to dislike each other and some of their habits while living together which might cause a breakup.
• Marriage: Marriages have always been the trend since ancient times. According to parents and the society this is the most appropriate relation for a man and a woman to be in. Some people might even like marriages, getting married and having a family of their on, etc. But some people might have different ideas about this. Adults have their own choices and they might not want to get married. The types of marriages are arranged marriages, love marriages and marriages where the couple elopes.
Conclusion: Every person has their own thoughts and abilities to make decisions for themselves and therefore nobody should be judged for what ever they choose. It should be their choice and their choice only as they are the ones living the life and not anybody else so it’s important to respect the others opinion.
Even after living or residing in a city, a person can start his or her business in agriculture industry and it is sustainable also. The business will provide food into the busy and populated areas and cities. Urban Farming.
WHAT IS URBAN FARMING?
In simple terms Urban farming is the process of producing or cultivating food inside the city limits. This business has both pros and cons. This business faces challenges but it also offers many benefits to the city, like increased food security, decreased waste, community involvement and many more. Urban Farming is also known as Urban Gardening or Urban Agriculture and it means the practice of cultivating, processing and distributing food in and around cities or towns or urban areas. It involves animal husbandry. bee keeping, horticulture, aquaculture etc.
NEED OF URBAN FARMING:
Provide Food to the growing population
Reduce pressure on the traditional methods of cultivation
Help improve Quality of Life
Reduce Food Security
Reduce Environmental Impact
Help improve the landscape of the city
TYPES OF URBAN FARMING
Urban Farming is of many types, like: Street Landscaping, Tactical Gardening, Backyard Gardens etc.
VERTICAL FARMING
Backyard Gardens: It generally means growing food in the property of a home and sharing it with family, friends or neighbors.
Street Landscaping: Improving the landscape of the streets with the help of living street design or community gardens etc.
Tactical Gardens: Utilizing small spaces available in a practical way (that doesn’t involve much expenses). Ex: Keyhole Garden which replace parking spot in streets.
Forest Gardening: Gardens in urban forests including crops, fruits or herbs or nuts and even vegetables.
ROOFTOP GARDENS: Using spaces of roof for growing food. This method helps in reducing Urban Heat Island effect and help in improving the quality of air.
Green Walls : Using the space on internal and external walls to grow food.
Vertical Farms: Planting or cultivating vertically for reducing the usage of land and land footprint of agriculture.
Animal Husbandry: Raising animals for food and cities also allow residents to raise a limited number of such animals.
Urban Beekeeping: It is a very common hobby and has many benefits for the local environment.
Aquaponics: Raising aquatic animals such as fish etc. and in urban areas this can be done by capturing storm water and creating self sustaining system.
ROOFTOP FARMING
IMPORTANCE OF URBAN FARMING:
Urban Farming is an essential part of urban ecological and urban ecosystem and helps in improving the sustainability of the area. It plays an important role in Urban management system . A growing city will produce large number and amount of waste and urban agriculture acts like a solution for solving this issues by turning urban wastes into productive resource system. It helps in bringing original and nurtitious food to the local communities which has many direct health benefits. It reduces the risk of harmful conditions and vulnerability to get exposed to different chemicals used for increasing the longevity of the food and fruits.
Domestic violence is defined as violence and abuse that occurs in a domestic environment, such as cohabitation or marriage. Domestic violence is defined as any type of behaviour that attempts to acquire authority and control over the victim, not simply physical abuse. It may afflict people from many areas of life and is usually directed at a partner, spouse, or close family member. We will discuss the causes and repercussions of domestic violence in an essay.
Causes of Domestic Violence
Domestic violence frequently targets women and children. Domestic abuse is a heinous crime that kills many people. Illiteracy and economic reliance on males are two of the most prevalent causes of domestic violence. This dilemma is exacerbated by a male-dominated culture. Furthermore, dowry is one of the major causes of violence against newlywed wives. Physically abusing women and making obscene statements is widespread in many areas of the world.
Furthermore, children are frequently victims of this cruel behaviour. It is critical to identify society’s double standards and hypocrisy. Frequently, the abuser is either insane or in need of psychiatric counselling. Domestic violence, on the other hand, is the result of a series of reckless behaviours displayed by a segment of society. It is also crucial to highlight that the abuser is not the only one who is accountable; those who allow this to happen and behave as quiet bystanders are equally to blame.
Types of Domestic Violence
Domestic abuse has a variety of negative consequences that vary depending on the type of domestic violence that occurs. It might be physical, emotional, sexual, or pecuniary in nature. A physical abuser employs physical force that injures or endangers the victim’s life. Hitting, punching, choking, slapping, and other forms of violence are included. Furthermore, the abuser refuses the victim medical attention. There is also emotional abuse, in which the perpetrator threatens and intimidates the victim. It also entails damaging their self-esteem.
It involves threatening someone with danger or disgrace in public. Emotional abuse can also include continuous name-calling and criticism. Then there’s sexual abuse, in which the perpetrator uses force to get undesired sexual intercourse. If your spouse does not consent, it is considered sexual abuse since it is coerced. Finally, there is economic abuse, in which the abuser has power over the victim’s money and economic resources.
They use this to impose control over them and make them completely reliant on them. Economic abuse occurs when your partner needs to beg you for money. The victim’s self-esteem suffers as a result.
Why is domestic violence an issue?
Domestic violence has a significant influence on people’s overall health and well-being. It is due to the fact that it causes bodily harm, anxiety, and despair. Furthermore, it affects social skills and increases the probability that they may engage in health-harming behaviours such as self-harm or drug addiction.
How does domestic violence affect a woman?
Domestic abuse has a negative impact on women’s health. It has severe ramifications for their mental and physical health, including reproductive and sexual health. It also covers injuries, gynaecological issues, despair, suicide, and other issues.
Conclusion
To summarise, domestic violence can take various forms, including physical aggressiveness such as kicking and biting, as well as sexual or emotional abuse. It is critical to recognise the indicators of domestic violence and report the abuser if it occurs around or to you.
Give whatever you are doing & whomever you are with the gift of your attention – JIM ROHN .
Rightly said by him as with concentration you can achieve anything & everything . Concentration means focused attention, and it has many uses and benefits. It assists in studying, enables faster comprehension, improves the memory, helps in focusing on a task, job or goal, and enables you to ignore meaningless and irrelevant thoughts. When this ability is strong, the mind obeys you more readily and does not engage in meaningless thoughts. This ability plays an important role in meditation, gaining mental mastery, and attaining peace of mind. Without it, the mind just jumps restlessly from one thought to another, not allowing you to meditate properly. everybody wants to increase their concentration power , but this power needs some hacks to grow , so let me share few facts with which you can grow you concentration .
GET SOME ‘GREEN TIME’ !
Each one of us knows that when we are surrounded with green , we feel refreshed & energetic . A dose of nature can work like a doctor for increasing concentration . suggests that exposure to natural surroundings, including green spaces, may prove beneficial for children’s brain development. In a study, children aged 4–5 to 7 years of age with more green space around their homes scored better in attention tests. These results underline the importance of expanding green areas in cities to support children’s health and brain development. exposure to greenery & increasing in concentration won’t stop at childhood , research has shown that colleges & institutes which are surrounded with greenery supports better mental health of children .
You may not have the luxury of a rooftop garden or an office laden with plants, but spending time outside someplace green, or eating your lunch in the park each day, could make a significant difference to your concentration.
2. TAKE a KITKAT BREAK !
People forget to take breaks , & this is what makes them stressful . A study found that people who read emails throughout the day switched screen twice as often and were in an ongoing state of high alert with a constant heart rate. When email was removed from these people for 5 days, their heart rate returned to a natural, variable one. The authors concluded that taking an email vacation significantly decreases stress and improves concentration and focus.
Few examples of break are here :

Chhichhore, the movie which taught us that, suicide is not right option, movies which taught us “ NEVER GIVE UP”, we just have to keep going, doing our best just keep going and enjoy your life cause these moments are never gonna come back.
In life things we love the most always disappears quickly and its life.
The film tells the story of Aniruddha “Anni” Pathak, a middle-aged divorcee whose son Raghav tries to commit suicide but survives, though he is in a critical condition for his unwillingness to live out of fear he would be called a “loser”. Desperate, he goes against the wishes of his former girlfriend turned ex-wife Maya’s wishes to recount his own journey in 1992 as a “loser” in a gang of six; as he continues along to convince Raghav, the other five receive news of the tragedy and decide to join their friend in his pain to complete a story they never fail to cherish as a lesson in their life.
Since childhood we are listening this, from our parents, family members and relatives, if you win this competition, I’ll buy you your fav dress or I’ll buy you motorcycle, if you get first rank in your school or college test, I’ll buy you smartphone, if you got selected or if you pass the test I’ll give you this or that or whatever you want I’ll give you, blab blah. But no one told us that if you didn’t won or if you got second rank or if you failed the test, it’s okay, it’s completely okay, atleast you have tried and worked very hard for this. What’s big deal if you didn’t got selected, the most important thing is, you tried and didn’t give up easily. Life is all about second change for them who don’t give up easily and try until they give their best. Let’s say that, it wasn’t your best and promise yourself that you will try very hard to give your best and trust yourself, if you think you can do it then you definitely can and one day you will definitely became successful and will achieve your dream.
Its human nature that we got disappointed very soon, we think like we did so much hard work for this and after all this what we got is failure.
Its life and in life things always don’t go as we planned, just trust yourself and try harder, you may struggle but it won’t matter anymore. If you feel like quitting, think about the reason why you started.
NEVER QUIT. NEVER GIVE UP. FLY IT TO THE END.
Here are some memorable dialogues from Chhichore we will always remember
1. “Tumhara result decide nahi karta hai ki tum loser ho ki nahi… Tumhari koshish decide karti hai!”
2. “Success ke baad ka plan sabke paas hai… lekin agar, galti se fail ho gaye… toh failure se kaise deal karna hai… Koi baat hi nahi karna chahta.”
3. “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.”
4. “Doosron se haarke loser kehlane se kahin zyada bura hai…khud se haarke loser kehlana.”
5. “I am a failure, mera kuchh nhi ho sakta… But we forgot success doesn’t come at once.”
6. “Dost jinke sath hum haste hai, rote hai Par zindagi jeena sikhte hai.”
