The Ultimate Productivity Hack is Saying ‘No’ and Save Your precious Time

If someone ask you to help them in their project?? You say yes or not . It is uncomplicated to say yes every request on your time when your goal or aim of your life are opaque and you have not inspired vision for . your upcoming life . So you have a unique opportunity to decide how you spend your precious time . To stay calm tension free and minimize your stress you have to learn and practice how you gracefully say no. May be it can hurt , it can take a form of anger and disappointment or show your rudeness toward the person you are saying no . If you have hope or any chance to work and collaborate with that person in future you have to go with good relationship with that and may be saying no in wrong way can destroy those relation with that I am so sure , so that we must remember or know the difference in saying no or saying yes to something more important .

There are few hack or tricks to saying no very gracefully and gently. 1.Know How Valuable Your Time Is. When you know the importance of your time than it is very easy to say no. You have to know and remember your commitments and how valuable your precious time is then someone is going to ask you to give some of your very precious time to knew commitments , you already know that you have already a lot of commitments and you just can’t do it so , just tell them my plate is overloaded as it is . Firstly go and set your priorities right now so no comes as a natural reply to anything which is less important and not included in your priority list . So even if you have extra time and free early from your work and literally which is very rare in our day to day life , for me more commitment means less time for me . My family , my loved ones and my close one who are important to me more than any thing so if I free earlier from my work and I have extra time so I will give it to my family . So no comes naturally when you see your priorities ands spare time for your family .

2. Practice the two letters word ‘NO’. To master this word you should practice saying no in day to day life and you have to be used to from this word . As you know the practice makes a man perfect. If someone is extremely insisting you again and again to take this commitment and involved with him , just keep saying no in the end they will get the message . Sometime repeating the word is the only way to get a message through it . Say no as often as you can in great way to better addict from the word and more comfortable with saying the word and keep control on your mind as well as on your feelings to divert from your path . Recall your resolution again and again to make it memorize .

3. Be unapologetic for guarding your time . Don’t apologize whenever you are saying no to anyone . Usually when people saying no as a human nature they start saying I am sorry and they regret that they say no and they overthink about it . You may think it is polite to say sorry and regret in front of the person and in personally , but apologizing just make the sound weaker and represent you weaker . You need to be firm , unapologetic and stick to your decision about guarding your time and saving your time . You may say to the person that I know you are hoping will be going to work together on this project but I have a lot of work already so I will not , I need to say no.

4. Give A Thought Before Saying Yes. If someone offer you new project and assignment to do, and you think to consider this then you can tell let me check my schedule and I’ll back to you. I can’t participate in one hour meeting but I am free after 8 on tomorrow. You can postpone your meeting or your new commitment.

5.Pre-empt The request It means prevent the request from being made. We can understand by taking a example means if someone is making a plane or postpone any meeting for any other day, you say normally that on that my schedule is too tight I can’t make any other plane or my schedule is already set, I can’t change it. So the person already understand that indirectly that you can’t attempt this or saying no. Prevent and pre-empt is quite pretty similar. Both giving the same message most of the time.

6.You Can’t Be Nice To Everyone Around You. Just stop being nice to everyone around you, but it is important to be polite. By doing this you make it easy for the for people to grab your time and money and they are going to continue it. Being nice by say yes all time on all help and commitment only hurt you and make you divert from your main task or goal of your life . You cannot even fullfil your all commitment which do to all. Keep in mind that you can’t happy or satisfied all the person around you.

7. Saying The Hardest No. Means say no in your work place like you already have a lot project to do within due date. And boss offer you another project you have to same no them politely by telling consequences that you have already a lot of project to do and I have to do it within due date so if I add this new one my pre project got disturb and they suffer from lack of time. But I can’t do this part of this project. You can do this very politely and strictly also means you are very much busy with you current projects.

8.Its Not You It’s Me you can appreciate the project which offered to you but it’s my bad that I will not participate in this project you can say say very humble no.

You can say that you have to collect all the energy from different directions and put it in the direction of your goal . And this going to make your secret of your success. You know the most effective people concentrate on their Areas of excellence this is ,on the thing they do best and on those high impact activities that will advance their lifework. We can take an example Jazz great Louis Armstrong did not spend his time selling tickets to his shows and seeting up chairs for the audience. He concentrate on his point of brilliance: means playing trumpet.

Steal time from all those extra commitment and devote and add it to those things which is fruitful for future and make your career. Learn to say no which is not important in your life. Learn this art this is very helpful to succeed in your life and make time for you and your closed ones.

CRICKET GETS PROVISIONAL GREEN LIGHT TO RESUME

It’s been more than two months since international cricket across the world stopped due to the Corona Virus pandemic, the entire sporting calendar has been left shattered by the pandemic which has forced several major events to be cancelled or suspended ,and many of those involved with the game are starving for some live action. On 19th May, the International Cricket Council released its ‘back to cricket’ guidelines for a phased return..After a long wait, England and West Indies look set to finally end cricket’s hiatus as the two sides will lock horns in a three-match Test series in July this year. The England Cricket Board (ECB) announced the schedule for the three-match series which remains to subject of clearance by the UK government. The matches will be played behind closed doors with no fans at the stadium. ICC made training mandatory for resumption of cricketThe International Cricket council (ICC) issued on May 19 guidelines that highlighted the importance of training before resuming cricket operations, pointing out fast bowlers. The apex body has issued specific guidelines considering fast bowlers’ workload and the risk they run of getting injured.The ICC also suggested format-specific training periods for bowlers all over the world, allowing them a minimum of 5-6 weeks of training, with the last three weeks involving bowling at match intensity in order to facilitate their return to T20Is.

CRICKET SITUATION IN INDIA

The government eased the lockdown(unlock 1.0) to contain the coronavirus and allowed sportspersons to use stadiums, leading to media reports that the Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) will come up with guidelines for training by the end of June. BCCI had earlier postponed the new season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) indefinitely and is yet to take a call on the fate of the tournament.India is scheduled to tour Sri Lanka in August for limited-over series and according to ICC guidelines, the minimum preparation window would be six weeks (42 days). So, Indian cricket team needs to start its training by the end of June or early July to fulfil the ICC rules.Indian cricketers might resume training at their nearest stadiums once the government eases the restrictions in the fourth phase of the lockdown. BCCI Treasurer Arun Dhumal said BCCI is exploring options to see how players can resume skill-based training. With all cricketing action suspended in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, players have been making the most of their time at home.Despite being confined to their homes, cricketers have been following a fitness routine provided to them and are keeping themselves fit with the help of indoor exercises. However, Dhumal stressed that BCCI wants to focus on skills training once restrictions are eased. He also stated that the board has a roadmap ready for the resumption of training and matches post lockdown.

Distinction between the Writ of Prohibition and the Writ of Certiorari

The writ of Prohibition is issued to prevent the decision or administration action in the process, so that it cannot proceed further, while the Writ of Certiorari is issued to quash the decision already given.

Both the Writs are similar in many aspects. Both are issued by the superior court to the inferior court or Tribunal or body exercising judicial or quasi- judicial functions on similar grounds.

However, the main difference between the writs are as follows:

Writ of Prohibition	Writ of Certiorari
When an inferior court takes up for hearing a matter over which it has no jurisdiction, the person against whom the proceedings are taken can move the supreme court for a Writ of Prohibition and on that an order will be issued forbidding the inferior court from continuing the proceedings.	When the inferior court hears the cause or matter and gives a decision on a case over which it has no jurisdiction over, the party aggrieved shall have to move to the Supreme court for a Writ of Certiorari on which an order will be made quashing the decision of the inferior court.,
It is issued before the proceedings are completed.	2. It is issued after decision is given by an inferior court or Tribunal or any body exercising judicial and quasi-judicial functions, exceeding its jurisdiction.
The object of the Writ of Prohibition is prevention rather than cure.	3. The Writ of Certiorari is rather used as a cure by quashing a decision already given by the inferior court.
Prohibition lies only against judicial or quasi- judicial bodies.	4. while Certiorari lies against a public authority which acts purely in an executive or administrative capacity or to a legislative body along with judicial and quasi- judicial bodies.

Case law –

1.Hari Vishnu Kamath v Ahmad Ishaque

In the above case supreme court held that in cases where there is a requirement for prayer of certiorari as well as prohibition and the in the application not prayer of certiorari has been made then it would be open to the court to issue the writ and stop further proceedings which are affecting the decision. But in this case the proceedings have ended then seeking for prohibition will be too late and writ of certiorari must be a proper remedy for quashing. Clearing on the point it was also held that writ of prohibition will lie when the proceeding is pending to a large extent and writ of certiorari will be issued when then case has been terminated in a final decision.

2. Bengal Immunity Co. v State of Bihar

It was observed by the Supreme Court that the existence of an alternative remedy, that is adequate and equally effective remedy may be a matter that can be taken into consideration by the High Court in granting the writ. It is a writ of right not a discretionary writ and nature of writ of prohibition is much of corrective one rather than preventive. Presence of an alternate remedy does not impose an absolute bar on issuing writ of prohibition. But presence of an alternate remedy will be more relevant in context of certiorari.

CONCLUSION:

The procedure ordinarily followed by the Supreme court or High Court while exercising the certiorari jurisdiction is to command the inferior court or tribunal to certify its record or proceedings to the High Court for its inspection so as to enable the High Court to determine whether on the face of the record the inferior court has committed any of the preceding errors occasioning failure of justice. After adjudging the case in reference to the objection raised the court may pass an appropriate order which may include quashing of proceedings at subordinate court or tribunal, as the case may be.

Often a writ of certiorari is sought along with a writ of prohibition, so as to ensure that the invalid act is not only reviewed by a superior court, but its operation is restrained as well.

RAPE

For a rapist, rape is just a mere word but for the victim, it costs his/her life. We live in a country where it takes many years to punish the rapist. In our country, rape is the fourth most common crime against women. According to the stats in 2018, nearly 34000 women reported the crime of rape.

The highly publicised rape was in 2012, a girl was brutually raped by 5 men out of which 1 was a juvenile. They raped her on a moving bus and also she was beaten by rod, her boyfriend was also beaten by the rapists. The victim died on 29th december, 2012, 13 days after the crime. Justice was served to her in 2020. Nearly after 8 years, her parents suffered a lot and tried a lot and at last there efforts were worth it.

There are many kinds of rape like marital rape, date rape, gang rape, custodial rape, rape of children, statutory rape, prison rape, serial rape, and etc.

In our country, a rapist can walk freely because nearly 4-5 years after the crime he gets punishment till then, he walks freely. And a victim dies everyday, he/she suffers pain each and every second.

In the end I just want to say that please give punishment to the rapist as soon as possible. And also make India a safer one, for the women.

Designer masks: the new fashion statement

If we have to live with a face mask in the foreseeable future, let it be a designer one. Luxury brands to corporate fashion, artisanal communities to even turban designers are redefining the face mask into a fashion accessory, albeit one that follows all the norms of WHO safety protocols.

The bizarre situation arising out of the COVID-19 pandemic has sparked an amazing amount of creativity among designers and artisans. Glamorous to the artistic, the range of masks flooding the market is exhilarating.

While the initial intention of designers and brands was to create masks for a more altruistic purpose — to rush supplies to frontline workers as a contribution to the fight against the pandemic, it is turning into another vertical of their business. For artisans, on the other hand, it is a means to survive the financial constraints imposed by the lockdown and tide over these uncertain times.

Globally, fashion brands such as Dior, Prada, Gucci and Louis Vuitton recalibrated their manufacturing units to make masks, protective gear and sanitizers. Their masks initiative has moved from public-spirited to a fashion offering. Indian designers and savvy artisans are fast catching up. Face masks are a canvas for self-expression and a means of survival at a time when most business has come to a halt. According to the book History of Surgical Face Masks by John L. Spooner, masks first made an appearance as protective gear for medical practitioners in the 19th century. They were adapted in China in 1910 to prevent spread of pneumonic plague.

Fashion in Asian countries such as China, Korea and Japan included designer face masks as a shield to deal with rising pollution. The rest of the world is waking up to the fact that your mask does not have to be boring or surgical if you aren’t a frontline healthcare worker or afflicted by COVID-19.

The Savile Row mask

Established tailors on this iconic London street are handcrafting and retailing face masks, which is now an essential accessory in our fight against the coronavirus. Huntsman, a big name on Savile Row, handcrafts soft masks made using 100 percent Egyptian cotton. The double-layered masks are embroidered with their signature alphabet ‘H’ and are sold in a classic box pleat design with elasticated straps.

The luxury monogrammed masks

lv-mask

LVMH, owner of brands such as Louis Vuitton, Dior, Givenchy and Fendi, has employed 300 additional artisans to make non-surgical face masks. The LV masks feature the classic brown monogram pattern in tan suede with gold rivets reinforcement and costs up to $1800. Pretty much like LV, Fendi has put out a logo-monogrammed mask in deep tan/brown shade that has been designed and hand-stitched by artisans in their Paris atelier.

The signature pattern face masks

Most designers have signature prints that they are known for. Priyanka Modi, creative Director of AMPM, an edgy fashion brand has dovetailed their prints with some colour “added keeping in mind the universal dreariness, to lift up the spirits of the people who end up wearing them”. The result is a collection of snug textured, patterned masks with contemporary aesthetics and angular lines. Functional to the tee, these masks can be bought online as well as at AMPM stores, and retail between Rs 4,000 to Rs 5,000.

The quilted ones

hemant-258x258-1

Leconet Hemant’s dreamy signature patterns and prints make way on to their 3-and-5 ply face masks. “We have used cotton poplin with polyester interlining, which feature prints and light quilting with fabric. Each mask undergoes UV-ray sterilisation before being packed in a fabric pouch made from the off cuts,” says designer and co-founder Hemant Sagar. The prices of the masks range from Rs 999 and Rs 1499 and they are being sold via the brand’s stores.

The Rajput-style masks

Rajputs are famous for their swag and their style, on display even in the most stressful of situations. Udaipur-based safa and turban designer Harendra Jodha, who studied the Rajput lifestyle at Chopasin School (they teach you how to live a life of leisure like a Rajput!) created a range of beautiful handloom cotton 3-ply masks to match the safas that the men wear, particularly at weddings or important ceremonies.

UPSC Announces Rescheduled Dates, Thoughtfully

With the imposition of the nationwide lockdown since 22^nd March, 2020, to counter COVID-19, not just people but many organizations are facing trying times. The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is no exception in this regard. It is not easy to conduct mega competitive examinations in a vast country like India, that too with so many unforeseen factors confronting us. UPSC took notice of the situation and had decided not to conduct examinations on the original dates. It just released the revised schedule of all examinations with the respective dates for the year 2020. The notice has been uploaded on their official website http://www.upsc.gov.in .

UPSC conducts many important competitive examinations, some of which are enumerated below. An examination like the Civil Services Examination, are conducted in three stages— prelims, mains and interview. The commission announced that at least 796 vacancies are to be filled through the Civil Services examination this time.

The revised schedule of the examinations in 2020 is the following:

Examinations	Dates
N.D.A & N.A.	06/09/2020
Civil Services(Preliminary) Indian Forest Services(Preliminary) through CS(P)	04/10/2020
I.E.S./ I.S.S.	16/10/2020
Combined Geo-Scientist(Main)	08/08/2020
Engineering Services(Main)	09/08/2020
Combined Medical Services	22/10/2020
Central Armed Police Forces(ACs)	20/12/2020
Civil Services(Main)	08/01/2021
C.D.S. (II)	08/11/2020
Indian Forest Service(Main)	28/02/2021
S.O./ Steno(GD-B/GD-I)	12/12/2020
Reserved for UPS RT	20/12/2020

UPSC has also notified that the candidates can download the e-admit cards from the official website, which will be issued one week before the respective examinations. Every year over seven lakh candidates register for one of India’s most prestigious examinations, the Civil Services Prelims. Ten lakh candidates have registered in the 2020 batch.

In another important development the National Defence Academy and Naval Academy entrance examinations, which are usually held in two sessions of examinations in the form of NDA & NA Examination I and NDA & NA Examination II will undergo change. The revised notification announces that there will be one common entrance examination this year instead of the usual two. The examination will be held on 6^th September, 2020.

The Combined Medical Services Examination will be held on October 22, 2020. The revised date for the Central Armed Police Forces (ACs) Examination is 20^th December. Indian Statistical Service Examination will be held on 16^th October this year.

The commission is yet to release the final date notifications regarding some more examinations. It can be assumed the dates for these examinations will be announced subsequently.

The Personality Tests for the Civil Services Examination (Mains), 2019, was being conducted before the lockdown. It has also been announced that the remaining candidates will be called from 20^th July, 2020.

The pandemic came unannounced. It is only natural that in the post-COVID times the decisions of public organizations of such importance should be taken with due care and not in haste. UPSC has an impeccable credential in public mind till now. It thus lives upto its reputation in deliberating and taking time on revising the dates of so many important examinations, which involve the physical safety and security of lakhs of candidates and those administering the examinations in various capacities.

Empathy and disappointment.

Empathy and disappointment.well when you empathize with someone you have to be really really close to that person because empathy is that feeling in the world where you do aur give someone something without them even asking for it.
Most of us think that this is telepathy let me clear that this is not.
Telepathy is the connection between two people with the communicate very clearly just without the necessity of speaking to one another.
Empathy is different from telepathy.
Empathy can also be understood as when you take an iced americano while passing your mom’s favourite coffee shop and you reach home and give that to her and all she says is,”I was just thinking if I could get one of these”.that is what the word you are searching for that is what the connection you are searching for this is what it should specifically have. Empathy not just give away a a lot of love but also did out a lot of disappointment if not done the right way. Like say the coffee from earlier that you got for her you went and give it to your mum and your mum said why did you waste money on the so-called nonexistent coffee which does not even have a proper body of taste.
Reading that sentence tell me on your heart did you feel disappointment? I mean I hope you did otherwise the point of this goes in vain haha. That is what empathy is.
you know disappointment is also such a nice feeling to embrace like disappointment comes in when not needed. One of the most cruel and selfish relations also. Like you called somebody the pickup the call told you quickly that they are busy and Hung up- disappointment.you take someone a very long and caring message believe you on two blue ticks or reply after hours-disappointment.our expectations is a big source of our own disappointment so stop expecting because that brings in disappointment. Instead empathy is a good choice becomes rarely and hardly.
Thoughjust that it’s coronavirus around you are current time and you are not using this time to rest prioritise people and purpose in life, you my dear friend are wasting an opportunity you might never get again.The world literally stopped and shifted for you to get your shit together.If this is torture find out why. Look into yourself.
Ciao for now .

Cyber Crime

Mostly teenage and youth are victims of this crime. Cybercrime is increasing day by day. Every day millions of people fall prey to it. This crime is targeting the computer system. Hacking, Denial of Service attack, spreading virus and malware, cyber terrorism, spoofing, skimming, pharming, spamming etc crime come under cybercrime. In modern and technical age, it is increasing day by day like fire in the forest. Mostly teenage and youth are victims of this crime.

Let’s see some of the details of this crime and get more information about cybercrime.

Definition – “Any violation of criminal law that involves knowledge of computers technology for their perpetration, investigations or prosecution.”

Tools and techniques used to commit cybercrime –

Buffer overflow – The condition when a program or process tries to store more data in a buffer than it was intended to hold.

Cracking – Cracking is breaking into someone else computer system, often on a network bypassing password or license in a computer program or in other ways intentionally breaches computer security.

Data didling – Involves altering the raw data just before a computer processes it and then changing it back after processing is completed.

Phishing – Using spoof E-mail or directing the people to fake web sites to deceive them into divulging personal financial details so that criminal can access their account.

Virus – A self-replicating program that runs and spreads by modifying other program and file.

Worm – a self-propagating, self-contained program that uses networking mechanism to spread itself.

Zombie – A program that is installed on a system to cause it to attach other system.

Government and law enforcement initiative –

The realisation of the growing threat of cybercrime by the Government of India has led to the initiation of a connected program for cybersecurity under the department of information technology along with the enactment of the information technology Act 2000, which was amended in the year 2008 retrofitting newer crime. The act heralded the legal recognition of electronic document digital signatures and transaction, done using computers & Internet. Further, the act described the punishment and penalty for criminal offence and contravention.

Many law enforcement agencies including the central bureau of investigation have created a separated unit cell of handling cybercrime.

We have to stay away from these things. And if something like that happens, to go to the police immediately. Your safety is in your hands. Stay alert to avoid crime.

Lots of penalties have been prescribed for cybercrime perpetrators. Stocking someone online, harassing someone online, it all comes under cyber cybercrime. Many people do not even know that he is committing a crime.

The only way to avoid cybercrime is to always be vigilant.

Measures that were needed to be taken in lockdown

Most of us wasted our time in this lockdown. This lockdown was tha period which we could have used to develop ourself completely, but we wasted it with full devotion in watching movies, webseries, using phone, wasting time on social media scrolling memes. And despite of knowing the fact that we could have used this time to improve ourself, we didn’t did anything because whenever we thought of doing something else, our mind didn’t allowed us to do that. Now if you are feeling guilty for the time you wasted then remeber one thing.
We still have some time left, still schools and colleges are not opened, still we are not promoted to next classes so we don’t have load of next class or semster studies, So push yourself to do something better.

Just sit calmly and think what you can do, what you want to do, what skills you need in future to ease your life, your career, your chances of getting a job, or you can either think of your hobbies to be improved, or you can do work from home jobs, or join some online internship programs or courses, or excel in some topic or subject like coding, designing, writing, speaking some other languages, read novels improve your reading skills.

If we make up our mind to do something then there are a lot of things to do, we just need to do is to make ourself mentally strong that we have to do this. Motivate yourself time to time that don’t give up.

Checklist for domestic travel via flights

women in brown blazer and brown skirt set

Plan, Plan & Plan

A lot has changed as per the new guidelines, so it’s best to plan ahead. As per the new rule, you have to reach the airport at least 2 hours in advance, as opposed to the earlier 40 minutes cut off. Also keep in mind, how you will be travelling to the airport as public transport will not be easily available.

Be Vigilant About Your Hygiene & Safety

Now I know that this one isn’t easy. We’ve never had to live or travel in a time with a highly infectious virus. So the best thing to do is not let your guard down. Start from the basic level and ensure that you are packed well. In an ideal scenario, ensure that you do not have to buy anything from a shop or from the airport. Make sure you have a mask, sanitizer and gloves easily accessible in your handbag. Ensure that you take maximum protection while heading to the airport and leaving your destination airport. You can never be too careful.

Pack Only One Hand Bag & One Carry On Bag . As per the new rules, only one hand bag and one cabin luggage is allowed. So make sure you pack light and pack efficiently. Only carry what you need. Also remember, to carry a handbag that is not so heavy that you have to leave it on the floor of the airport. Another important point to note is that metal & plastic are better breeding grounds for viruses. So ensure that you carry a bad that is made of fabric instead of metal.
Rethink Your Airport Look

Well, remember when airport looks were all the rage? You’re probably going to have to rethink that look now since the new look is all about hazmat suits, masks, sanitizers and gloves. As part of the new guidelines, just before you board the flight you have to compulsorily mask up and suit up to prevent infection and the spread of it. Wear comfy clothes underneath your protective gear and ideally pick a hazmat suit that you can dispose off with ease once you reach your destination.

Eat Well Before The Flight/Carry Food

As per the new guidelines no meals will be served onboard the flight, so do ensure that you either eat well before the flight or carry your own food that you can eat after the flight.

Let Your Loved Ones Know When You Are Travelling

We are not asking you to take permission, but do inform your friends and family about your travels and ideally do keep a backup option for stay and help at the destination you will be visiting. Mark your emergency contacts clearly.

Carry Enough Cash & Have Ready Finance Available

No, we are not asking you to carry a briefcase full of money like in those old Bollywood films, but do ensure that you have both some liquid cash available with you and some easily available money in the bank. In case you do have to be quarantined or in the unfortunate situation that you get infected, ensure you have enough money for treatment and for stay.

Pride Month 2020: #21daysallychallenge

Every year, in the month of June, the LGBTQ community hosts pride celebration in various ways. It is a month long celebration of diversity, love, acceptance, inclusion and unabashed self-pride. Various events are held across the globe during this commemorative month as a way of recognising the LGBTQ community and their influence around the world.

Why the month of June?

The month of June was chosen for LGBTQ pride month to memorialise the riots held by LGBTQ community members against a police raid that occured at the Stonewall Inn, a gay club, in New York City on June 28, 1969.

The message was clear; to peacefully protest and raise political and social awareness of the issues facing by the community. The queer community wanted to be open about their sexual orientation and be free to go anywhere without the fear of being arrested.

Pride Month 2020: #21daysallychallenge

This year, because of the social distancing norms across the world, many pride parades and events are on hold. But still we would not be restricted to celebrate all forms of love. Due to the global pandemic concerns, this year a different approach have been taken by the Pride Circle to take aware and conscious steps to acknowledge and redress stereotypes and biases about the LGBTQ community and bring about social change.

The aim of the challenge is to bring together individuals and influencers from over 28 countries and 70 organisations to establish a global community of LGBTQ allies. It started on June 1, there will be 21 mini-challenges extended over a period of 21 days in the month of June. As per the Pride Circle’s Statement, “this is based on science that it takes 21 days to form a new habit. Anyone can participate free-of-cost and sign up for it by clicking on the link – https://thepridecircle.com/21daysallychallenge/

Some of the challenges of the initiative include building awareness about the existence and journey of an LGTBQ person, for instance, read or watch or find out about the coming out story of an LGTBQ person, laws associated with the community; show your allyship, test your biasness- have you ever made fun of or discriminated an LGBTQ. Wear something symbolic or just shout out, let the world know that you’re an ally. Build your knowledge about the community. Learn about the art and literature by them and go all out. Don’t hold back, talk about the stigma and bias against LGBTQ persons.

In our country, decriminalisation of homosexuality is yet to complete 2 years, this initiative which has sprouted in India could become our leap of faith to ignite a global movement to look out for equal rights and fair treatment for the people belonging to that community. Allies would be able to contribute in creating a safe space where people of every sexual orientation is welcome and respected. It will help bridge the gap and let people understand the importance of treating others, who may be different from them, with equality, fairness, acceptance and mutual respect. The #21daysallychallenge could be a favourable step in the direction of building and inclusive and conscientious society with support and trust.

The movement is supported by various organisations, along with eminent academic institutions such as IIMs, IITs, NMIMS, MICA and the only school in India participating in Pride month celebrations, Tagore International School, Vasant vihar. This is a great achievement towards creating safer schools, workplaces and society for the coming generation. Such support from organisations like these is the need of the hour as it plays a vital role in the bigger fight to advance the community and promote inclusion in all spheres of life.

https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/www.thehindu.com/society/celebrating-pride-month-in-june-with-the-21daysallychallenge/article31720256.ece

Now, more than ever, we, the people of India, should encourage everyone who believes in LGTBQ equality to come out and be an ally or support in the best possible way. It’s time we move towards being a more accepting society and initiatives like these is the fundamental step towards that larger goal of “vasudhaiva kutumbakam”, i.e. “the world is one family”.

Should we use a smartphone?

Alarming disappearance of play from Children’s life

Play is the important part of child’s life. Play enhances the child’s physical, social and cognitive skills. Through play children learn many skills like cooperation, language etc. It also helps to clear the egocentric stage in early ages. In childhood the major learning happens through play only.

But in present time, play is somewhere disappearing from the children’s life. There are many reasons for that. Some parents don’t send their children to play due to security reasons as today parents don’t have time to sit in the park where the child is playing so that they can take care of the child. In some places there are not proper spaces where the child can play. Some parents think that by playing they are wasting their time. And they should utilise their time by studying apart from going outside and play. Due to advent of technology too, children nowadays prefer to play video games and use mobile rather that going outside and play.

All these things have a greater impact on children’s mental and physical health. Playing outside keeps them healthy and also help in their mental growth. While playing children use many concepts which they learn in theories like counting, conservation, usage of language and so on. While playing children learn how to cooperate with peers, how to understand others perspective, they learn to solve problems of their own. They acquire confidence to talk to so many people. It is the platform where they can, not only make mistakes but can also learn from their mistakes. But our parents and teachers didn’t understand this. According to them bookish knowledge is the knowledge child should have and this only help them to become a successful human being. According to Leo F. Buscaglia “It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connect between them.”

Parents and teachers should understand that play is equally important for child as the study. If they don’t play they lack many abilities or develop it later. So it is necessary that we encourage children to play with their peer group. Parents and teachers should include play time in the child’s schedule like all other activities through which they can enjoy as well as learn and properly live their childhood.

Leadership Lessons from Mother Nature

You must have learnt valuable lessons from many great leaders, it’s time to know from where the great leaders got their dose of inspiration. Every great leader is a self learner. In this sense it can be said that great leaders are capable of learning things by looking at the examples set in front of them. Not just the examples set by great men but examples that are set by something even greater than any man on earth:

The Mother Nature herself. Nature inspired man to reinvent the wheel by looking at the moon. A big leap from zero to one. But for the modern man, nature is even a greater source of inspiration than ever before. Coming back to our regular office space. It’s not that hard to accept that survival of the fittest works perfectly here. But this is not the only thing you can learn from nature. It goes beyond. It has a consciousness of its own. It’s like everything speaks despite the apparent silence. Let’s know what leaders can learn from nature. Sometimes Silence Speaks A Better Language Than Words This is one reason that nature is silent.

To prove my point let me tell you a story someone told me: Two frogs once jumped into a death pit. No frog who jumped into that pit had ever survived. Other frogs watched them struggle and discouraged them, with no point trying. One of them gave up and died while the other one miraculously escaped the pit.

Reason─That frog was deaf, he never heard a single word; all he could sense was others telling him to struggle harder. Staying positive works. As a great leader you can get more out of your team by being positive rather than negative. Rather than telling your team to do something, set examples for them that they can follow. Speak silently. Facts are False, Interpretations are True How many times have we been told to only look at the facts when making decisions. The million dollar wisdom; there are no facts only interpretations. It’s a fact that sun rises in the east, but it is an interpretation where the direction east is. It is a fact that apple falls at the ground but it is an interpretation that it falls due to gravity. That’s what helped Columbus discover America and Newton Gravity. And that’s what the sign of a genius is─a different way to look at a fact.

Remember this: As an entrepreneur may be one day you will understand why your team is unable to paint the perfect picture. Because all you feed them are facts, but what they want is an interpretation. And that’s how you ignite innovation at work. Your Thoughts and Words are like an Invisible Force of Gravity Every morning thought and midnight memory that an entrepreneur has is always a form of a career joy or a career pain. In other words, you always have a story within your mind. Use this story to hand down your thoughts to your team and let them figure out how to make these thoughts come alive. Graphically every good story can be imagined as a mountain. To be a good storyteller you need to take your audience to the peak of your mountain, as effortlessly as possible, and then throw them of the cliff; catch them at the other end. Make them think that they owe you their lives. Things don’t stop just here. There are so many things that one can learn from nature. For this you need to learn to interpret nature’s language and that happens by having faith that nature speaks a language. This way you will find a hidden meaning behind everything that nature does.
