People – Purpose

This is not going to be an informative or factual article but it will be a inquisitive article. So sit back, relax and read it as if you are reading something written in someone’s diary, only that you have been allowed to read this one. 🙂

Have you ever taken the time to just sit back and reflect upon all the billions of people you might have encountered till now and how they were all a part of your life at different moments in life? Have you ever wondered if life had been different to all of them? Or had Life been playing the same cards except with different decks for each one of us..?

If you haven’t then I request you to do this just once. The next time (possibly when pandemic ends) you find yourself amongst a humongous swarm of people, just pause for a second or maybe just sit around somewhere and look at them carefully. (Don’t make it obvious that you are staring them please). Just observe the people who might be passing by. Imagine what they might be going through (It’s okay you don’t have to correctly identify their life situation.This ain’t “Kaun Banega Crorepati”. Try to observe and think if all the desires that they had has been fullfilled or is there still something left incomplete within them?

Well, of course you can’t go and ask all the people to tell their life stories to you. But just try to look through. It doesn’t matter if what you see is wrong but just try to perceive one’s desires.

You soon will realise how little your problem means in this swarm of people. How tiny we all are in this numbers that crosses over billions.

Now I’m pretty sure that most of us have sat back and reflected upon our past times and been grateful for the people we have in our lives or maybe brooded about the ones who left us all alone in this battle of life that we are failing to fight.

Among these people, the ones who are now gone, some must have gone for good while some left without any reason as they hardly cared.

In this course of us meeting them and giving them a place in our hearts, we at times must have found ourselves with void without them, as if a big hollow is carved in our chest.

But with these people now gone and time being pretty kind to us, the void starts and we realise no emptiness ever resided there.

And in this filling up of an invisible hollow we come to know our deepest desires and wishes. We come to know that what we thought was never the way it was. We come to know that those people who never cared and left without a flinch doesn’t matter much but are still a part of our beautiful memories.

So this what I think. I think

With people we find our purpose. If we fail to find it, then keep looking. Keep seeing through that swarms of people. Know that all these who were never a part your of social life but still your living life, are also searching for their deepest wishes somewhere. You too should continue to search with them.

You’ll soon come to know that on a road solely chosen by you, you’d still find unknown faces that’ll never be part of “your” life but would still be persons whom you brushed past. You’ll realise that it’s people who’d continue to bring you happiness and people who’d be a part of your purpose. 🙂

Sorry for the incoherence in my chain of thoughts!

Mawlynnong- India's pride

Located in the east Khasi hills 90 kilometers away from Shillong, in the state of meghalaya is this small village with around 600 inhabitants , which was acclaimed to be the cleanest village in India in 2005. In 2003, it was also acclaimed as the cleanest village in Asia. Known as “God’s own garden” , this small village has already made a big impact on the world by showing the world how the following of all the rules and living in harmony with the nature can help in making this world a beautiful place to co-exist.

How did Mawlynnong became the cleanest village

Back in 1887 when India was still under the British rule, Mawlynnong suffered from a devastating plague which the villagers believed to be the wrath of evil witches and didn’t knew what to do. According to history, Welsh Christian missionaries from Bangladesh were sent to help the people recover from the plague there. The missionnaries took care of the people and started to educate them. They also told them that the plague was not the result of wrath of evil witches, rather it was extreme uncleannliness in the village which caused that plague. The villagers then started to clean their houses as well as every nook and corner of the village . The tradition continues till date. Interestingly, villagers link the tradition of cleanliness to Christianity. They say it is the missionaries that changed their lives and taught them ways to reach God through cleanliness and since then they follow the religion of Christianity. This is the true model of how the superstitions if used positively can bring a large impact.

The villagers also decided to have drainpipes to efficiently remove the filth from their houses and now every single house has a proper and efficient drainage system.

The streets there have beautifully carved bamboo dustbins outside every house and in every public place. The villagers turn the wet compost from the domestic use into manure which they use to grow the vegetables and fruits. The village is a model of the adequate use of every resource available and the best example of recycle and reuse.

Other highlights of this wonderful village

Rain water harvesting is another feature of the village. When it rains, which is a verycommon thing in the state of Meghalaya people collect rainwater even in bottles. The base of the bottle is cut and the inverted bottle is then hanged at the place where it can capture rain drops. The mouth of the bottle is attached to a pipe which is then connected to the washroom and is used in toliets and to clean the floor.

Proper sanitization is another prominent feature here where every house has proper toilets and even the public toilets are healthily maintained.

Also, the village has a 100% literacy rate. Nelson Mandela once rightly said that EDUCATION IS THE ONLY WEAPON WHICH CAN BE USED TO CHANGE THE WORLD. Mawlynnong being the best example of this proverbial fact.

Last but not the least, The living root bridges are the classic feature of the place which also attracts a large number of tourists every year from across the globe. At a time , when humans talk about science and innovation here is an extra ordinary example of bio engineering made by humans in joint partnership with the nature. This man made root bridge was originally constructed by the villagers to cross the overflowing stream during monsoon by intertwining the thick roots of a variety of rubber tree (Ficus elastica), grown on the other side of the stream. The intertwined roots were then kept in a position over the stream such that it can be crossed. The roots were then covered by large rocks and mud to complete the path. Over the years , as the roots grew the bridge became stronger. Each day when any villager spot a new root merging , they immediately join it with the bridge and hence it continued to become strong and stay still bearing the heavy rains of the North Eastern Monsoon.

To see the bridge, one has to take a simple downward trek where the entry fee of Rs. 10 is taken from each visitor to see the bridge which is used for the village development.

How it manages cleanliness even today

Every day at a designated time no matter what the weather is , an appointed set of sweepers come and clean the nook and corner of the village which takes them around an hour. It is the dedication of the people and the fear that if they violate cleanliness even for a day, curse will fall upon them, is the thing which drives them to continuously strive hard to continue with the old age tradition even today.

A place like Mawlynnong which attracts a large number of tourists each year , the cleanliness and the sanitization is hard to maintain but they do it. Plastic bags, smoking and littering is completely banned in the area. Any violators are bound to pay a mandatory hefty fine and sometimes also serve the prison sentence.

It won’t be wrong to say that MAWLYNNONG IS THE TRUE MODEL OF AN IDEAL BEAUTIFUL PLACE which inspires us in so many ways. It tells us that every effort counts .

“TO KEEP THE BODY IN GOOD HEALTH IS DUTY,…. OTHERWISE WE SHALL NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP OUR MIND STRONG AND CLEAR“

It is said “Health is wealth”. If health is lost, everything is lost. If health is i’ lost, the capacity to work is lost. Inability to work leads to poverty and misery. On the other hand, if we have health we are able to work and this, in turn, adds to our wealth. Therefore good health is one of the basic foundations on which our lives are built.

𝔾𝕆𝕆𝔻 ℍ𝔼𝔸𝕃𝕋ℍ:

Now-a-days, a good health is just like a boon given by the God. It is very fact that good health is real money of life. Good health is considered as the precious earning of a human throughout his/her life. If one has losses his health, he has lost all the charms of life. A good wealth can be earned anytime using a good health however; a good health can never be earned again in the life if once destroyed. In order to maintain a good health we need to do regular physical exercises, yoga, meditation, balanced food, good thoughts, cleanliness, personal hygiene, regular health check-ups, proper sleep, rest, etc. If one is healthy, he/she does not need spend money on his/her health in buying medicines or visiting doctors. A healthy person just needs to spend some money only on his health on regular basis. However, on the other hand a lazy, diseased or sluggish person needs to spend more money throughout his life

People generally become fail in their life to maintain a good health just because of their lazy and idle habits. They think that what they are doing is right but time has already gone whenever they understand their mistakes. A good health is one which keeps us healthy in all aspects like mentally, physically, socially and intellectually. A good health provides us freedom from all the sickness and diseases. A good health is the feeling of mental, physical and social well being. It is a costly and most precious gift of the life and necessary for living a purposeful life.

A good health reduces the stress level and promotes healthy life without any sufferings. We should always be aware of our health and go for regular health check-up. We should eat balanced food having fresh fruits, salad, green leafy vegetables, milk, egg, dahi, etc in timely manner in order to maintain the good health. A good health also need some daily physical activities, proper rest and sleep, cleanliness, healthy environment, fresh air and water, personal hygiene, etc. In order to reduce our rush between hospital and home, maintain a good health is better idea. Maintaining a good health is a good habit which should be practiced from childhood with the help of parents.

In earlier days, life was not so hectic. It was quite simple and free of too many challenges with healthy environment in comparison to these days. People were healthy as they had to perform all the daily routine activities by their own hand and body. But now, life in the technological world has become easy and comfortable but hectic because of the competitions. Now-a-days, easy life is not possible as everyone wants to earn more money to get better life than others. Now-a-days, living life has become costly and tough as well as unhealthy as everything like air, water, environment, food, etc has become contaminated, infected and polluted.

People have to work for at least 9 to 10 hours in the offices by just sitting on the chair without any physical movement. They come to home in the late evening or night and become too tired to perform any household work or exercise. Again in the morning they get up late from bed and do some necessary works like bath, brush, breakfast, etc and go to their office. In this way, they live their daily routine only to earn money and not their life for themselves. It is very necessary to earn money for fulfilling some basic needs however, it is also necessary to live a healthy and peaceful life which needs a good health.

You can maintain good health by following a balanced and healthy diet. Have a good lifestyle by balancing work and life. You should have a moderate physical fitness regime every day. Go for brisk walks regularly or do other forms of exercise. Also, meditate and be positive to take care of your mental health.

Conclusion

A healthy person can earn lots of money, however, an unhealthy person cannot because of the lack of motivation, interstates and concentration level. Money is the source to live a healthy life however good health is the source to live a happy and peaceful life. So, good health matters a lot, more than the money. We all should maintain our good health to be wealthy in real means.

Conclusion

ACTUAL MEANING OF FEMINISM

BY: VAIBHAVI MENON

When they hear the word “Feminist,” most people think of a bunch of angry women who believe that they are better than men. By definition the word “feminist” means “the advocacy of women’s rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes.” Feminists are not just women who stand outside buildings demanding things. In reality they have revolutionized today’s society and have improved the lives of many. Most rights that women have today derived from true feminists fighting for equality. Feminism has lost its true meaning. Real feminists such as the Suffragettes, Eleanor Roosevelt, Barbara Walters, and so many more have made it possible for women to become news anchors, be more than just a housewife, or allow women to vote.

Today’s feminists have taken these remarkable women and twisted what they stood for. Women have turned against men. Past feminism changed society forever. Today, feminists believe that men are less superior and that women could live on the Earth without them, but that is not what true feminism is. True feminism allows women to be equal to men. True feminists make it possible for women to work the same jobs as men or have the right to own property like men. Although the basis of feminism is still the same, it has become a more aggressive movement. Instead of bringing men and women together as a united front, it has created an even bigger gap throughout the United States. Today’s feminism isn’t making the same progress or spreading the same message. There are still other problems that feminism could fix, but if we don’t use feminism the right way then we won’t be fixing anything. If we continue to misuse feminism then we really will be just a bunch of angry women protesting outside of buildings. The definition, as I have spent my life believing it to be, is the belief that men and women should have equal social, political, and economic rights and opportunities. I do think that that is the most inclusive definition of what feminism is about. It’s about equality for both men and women and a playing field that respects the voices of women. True equality, true feminism is recognition of the dynamics that each person brings to the table. And I say “each person” because women will have reached truest levels of equality when men also have truest levels of equality. As long as we stay and assign task and duty, responsibility and opportunity to a particular gender, then we are not actually striving for true feminism.

I think at that time there was such an imbalance of power that you had to recognize the need to at least get some balance of power to women, some recognition that women should have choices and opportunities outside of the home, and in the home itself. Today we recognize that true feminism is the true equality of both sexes, without it being limited or restricted. And we actually have more young men and young women growing up today that have been raised in more feminist households, where men and women do a share of work in the house. They both have opportunities for education and for job opportunities. Jobs are not labeled for men and for women. There’s still not true equality and there’s still true job segregation. But in that context, there was a time in the late 60’s and early 70’s when the term feminism started growing and when and the Ms. Foundation started that there was a true segregation. And now I think the feminist movement had to take on “the women’s movement,” the women’s perspective so that it could get to a mainstream conversation.

TECHNOLOGY

Technology is defined as the use of data to create and develop products and equipment that may be used in a variety of ways.

Technology has become an increasingly important aspect of our daily lives. Despite the fact that technology has made life easier for all of us, it has also brought with it a number of negative consequences that we must not overlook. Technology is essentially the means by which we put scientific discoveries into practice and combine them with our personal demands. Technology is a broad term that refers to the various tools, machinery, and equipment that we utilize on a daily basis. Man devised these tools and equipment to make tasks faster, easier, and more comfortable. Science and technology are inextricably linked; progress in one field leads to progress in the other. Science helps to build and produce technical items and equipment that serve humanity through research, experimentation, and observations.

Advantages of Technology in Life:

1. It has aided human growth and development.

2. Inventions and discoveries have improved the quality of life by making it easier, more effective, and more convenient.

3. Technology has connected the entire world, transforming it into a global village.

4. It is a boon to mankind because it is used in every aspect of life.

5. Technology has not only made our lives easier and more comfortable, but it has also contributed significantly to global economic growth.

6. Creative technology, which includes art, design, and advertising, has aided in the promotion of art and design through software applications.

7. Buildings, bridges, and plazas have become easier to design and construct thanks to advancements in architectural technology.

8. Industry has benefited from industrial technology as well.

9. Microtechnology is advancing at a breakneck pace, allowing chips and microelectronics circuits to improve performance and functionality while lowering costs.

10. Medical technology has produced a plethora of diagnostic and treatment devices and instruments. With the use of technology, diseases that were formerly difficult to diagnose and treat are now effectively diagnosed and treated.

Drawbacks of Technology:

While technological improvements are beneficial to us, we now appear to be overly reliant on them.

The following are some examples of technological disadvantages:

1. The use of mobile phones was intended to allow people to communicate in times of crisis. However, we now witness children becoming overly engrossed in various mobile applications, wasting their time.

2. The use of digital technology has been linked to a number of crimes.

3. It has also been observed that many people lack the fundamental education required to ensure proper use of today’s technology. Most of them, in fact, use it for the sake of fashion and hence end up misusing it.

4. People have become so reliant on technology that they are unwilling to engage in any manual labour. People prefer to use technology even for little tasks that can be completed manually. As a result, humans have become both intellectually and physically inert.

Finally, we must acknowledge that science and technology have led human society to the pinnacle of living perfection. However, we must proceed with prudence and in moderation. Misuse of science and technology can lead to negative outcomes. As a result, we must keep an eye on usage and behave wisely.
