Prerna, 14, took her own life after she failed two subjects in her Class VIII half-yearly exams. She is one of thousands of Indian students who take their own lives in India every year..
According to a 2014 report from the Indian government, exam-related pressure was the largest cause of suicide in India’s youth. On this podcast you’ll hear from people who work with suicide support groups, doctors, as well as the last words of several students from their suicide notes.
India’s student suicide crisis is no new development. India has consistently reported high suicide rates. A large number of suicides were reported in the 15-29 age group.
Twenty-two students took their own lives in a week in Telangana in April 2019, because they had failed their school’s intermediate exams.
What kind of psychological pressure leads students in school, like 14-year-old Prerna, to take their own lives?
But failure to live up to expectations isn’t the only cause for student suicides. A 17-year-old from Ghaziabad took her own life after she cracked the IIT-JEE entrance examination in 2016.
In her five-page suicide note, she wrote about how she never wanted to study science or be an engineer.
Seventeen-year-old Kriti Tripathi wrote the suicide note before jumping to her death from a five-storey building in Kota on 28 April 2016.
She had scored 144 marks in the JEE Mains 2016 results declared a day before, on 27 April. But she writes….she never wanted to be an engineer. The pressure to succeed eventually leads to everything else in a student’s life being side-lined, like extra-curricular activities and other things that could lead to a more well-rounded, healthy sense of self.
The East India company, in 1765, acquired the diwani rights of three provinces by signing an agreement with the Emperor. These provinces were Bengal, Bihar and Orissa. These provinces were wealthy provinces. Warren Hastings was appointed as the governor general of Bengal. The dual system of government was a failure and Hastings was asked to consolidate the Company’s rule in Bengal. He was also given the task of judicial reformation.
Warren Hastings and Judicial Reforms
Warren Hastings was an English statesman and the the first Governor of the
Presidency of Fort William (Bengal). He was the head of the Supreme Council of
Bengal and also the first de facto Governor-General of Bengal. He exercised this position from 1772 to 1785. Hastings is seen as an important reformer who, during his tenure, brought many reforms. He first came to the country in 1772.
One of his observations was that the though the Company enjoyed the right of Diwani(Since 1765) of the wealthy provinces(Bengal,Bihar and Orissa), it had hit the rock bottom to become financially bankrupt. He also noticed that the Dual Government had failed to succeed. Influenced by these observations, he wanted to correct the administrative system. He is praised and known for laying the foundation of the English administration in India. The Council replaced certain measures introduced by Warren Hastings. This was established by the Regulating Act. Two years post this incident, he was in a position to assert himself and introduce his plans freely.
After the acquisition, the concept of Mofussils was beginning to be used. The concept of Mofussils was used to denote the territories surrounding the Presidency towns. There was already a properly established and well established judicial establishment in the Presidential towns like Calcutta, Bombay, and Madras under the appearance of Mayor’s court and court of Governor-in-council. It was clear that a similar set up was urgently needed in these areas called Mofussils(Areas adjoining Presidential towns).These reforms were seen as beneficial. For this reason, it is widely opined that “Hastings attempted to establish a just judiciary administration in India.”
During this time, a Supreme Court was also established at the town of Calcutta. This was established after the enactment of the Regulating Act of 1774 by the British Parliament. The jurisdiction of this court and relations with the Sadar Nizamat Adalat and the Sadar Diwani Adalat, however, remained unclear and undefined. The laws followed by this court also remained unclear. As an expected result, this had an adverse impact on the judicial administration in Bengal. These impacts were clearly visible for a period of time.
The reforms were to be aimed at correcting the defective system. This was to be advantageous to the Company and save the ryots from oppression in the hands of Zamindaars and other tyrants. Hastings proceeded to reform the administration of justice. His reforms can be seen as a division of four stages.
Hastings understood the relationship between revenue and the administration of justice. The administration of revenue in these was seen as an important activity and function for the rulers. This was because of the fact that the activity generated a lot money and was a significant contributor to total revenue. As it was necessary to have lands and private property and these could be made prosperous only when there was proper maintenance of peace. Social order was a significant factor for prosperity as it affected the occupational work of people and the quality of the work. Peaceful society was a must to prevent unnecessary distractions affecting economical activities of the people. As the society was mostly agrarian, the need for order became even more important. It was obvious that life security and security of property was essential to bring order in the society. Ensuring peace would act as a boost for economical activities which in turn would generate sufficient revenue. This will enable the people to pay taxes properly. All these scenarios and requirements demanded an effective judicial system which was exactly what the society then lacked.
Warren Hastings also understood that there was the lack of central authority that exercised power, dispensed justice, and controlled other authorities. The Mughal empire was dissolved at this point of time and the Nawabs were also significantly weakened in the concerned areas. The then existing judicial system was also improper and broken down. This made the system inefficient and ineffective. The appointed candidates were inefficient and lacked in required skills. They started to abuse their power and there was no system in place to check the corrupt activities of the officials. Another prevalent scenario that necessitated judicial reformation was the corruption prevalent in the centres of justice.
According to the reforms, many courts were introduced. The other type of courts that were introduced was the Mofussil court or district court. These courts were also called as Mofussil Diwani Adalats. Each district got one of these courts. The jurisdiction of these courts extended over the the civil and revenue case. This court also dealt with cases relating to marriages,contracts, property inheritance, disputed accounts, private properties, inheritance, partnership and rent related issues. The pecuniary limit of these courts were capped at five hundred rupees. Composition of this court included Governor as the President and minimum two members of the council who were assisted by Diwan Treasury and Chief Kanungo. The judgements given in this court was the final one in cases of value upto five hundred rupees. This court was presided over by the Collector of the district. The collector worked with the native judicial officers called Kazis and Pundits. The collector or the judge of these courts required the assistance of native law officers as the collector was not versed with the personal laws of the Hindus and the Muslims based on which certain cases were to be handled. The native law officers helped the collector with their knowledge of the personal laws of native communities.
The other type of courts were known as Mofussil Nizamat Adalat. The other name for these courts was Fauzdari Adalats. Every district got a Fauzdari Adalat. These courts, unlike other courts discussed above, dealt with criminal cases alone. This court did not have the jurisdiction to try cases that were about capital punishment and issues related to forfeiture of property. These cases were required to be submitted to Sadar Diwani Adalat for judgements. One unique thing to these courts were that these courts were presided over by Muslim law officers alone. The Moulvi was involved involved in the process of expounding the law. Fatwa was given by the Kazi and the Mufti. These officers gave the judgements accordingly. The officers of law and the collectors of the district were allocated with important roles. These officers and the collectors were required to supervise the courts. The supervision job included the checking of witnesses involved in the case and hearing of all witnesses. The other function of this role was to try cases properly and regularly, and to impart justice impartially.
The other type of courts was called Sadar or Provincial courts. This case acted as the central and apex court for civil cases in the area of the province. This case was empowered with both the appellate and orginal jurisdiction. It exercised this jurisdiction by hearing appeals from Mofussil Diwani Adalat. This court also tried cases that were related to or involved disputes of rupees five hundred. This court had the practice of charging up to five percent as a commission. This commission was charged on the amount involved in the dispute. This commission was charged on each petition or appeal. This court was presided over by the governor and the council. This court was located in the town of Calcutta. The first sitting of this court was held on 17th March of 1773. The next type of court was called as Sadar Nizamat Adalat. Sadar Nizamat Adalat was also the central and apex court for criminal cases within the provincial area. It is similar to Sadar Diwani Adalat in certain ways. This court had the jurisdiction and was empowered to decide issues related to capital punishment and forfeiture of property. In capital punishment cases, this court had the task of preparing death warrant. This warrant had to be signed by the Nawab (the head of the Nizamat).
Governor in Council acted as the supervisor and had the functions to supervise the functions of the court. This was similar to Mofussil Nizamat Adalat. The location of the court was moved Murshidabad (the residence of the Nawab). This location shift was due to the fact that his signature was required for all capital punishment cases. The office of Naib Nazim was developed later. Mohammed Reza Khan was appointed to assist instead of the Nawab.
Several provisions were introduced, as a part of the judicial plan, to promote fair and impartial justice in the area. Open observation was made possible by conducting the judicial process and trials in the open court. This was done to gain the trust of people and ensure transparency. Adalats at district and village level were asked to maintain a register of all the cases. These records had to be sent to the Sadar Adalats. This was a move towards curbing power abuse and checked the activities of the court regularly. As a part of the reforms, already existing and rough civil procedures for civil cases was used.
According to this procedure, the defendant had to reply after the filing of petition by the petitioner. After the hearing of the defendant, the Adalat and heard the concerned parties and examined the evidence presented. After completing all the these procedures, the court passed the decree. A time period rule was introduced, according to which a case had to be filed within 12 years of the dispute. All the cases exceeding this time limit were considered time barred. Another important feature was the introduction of arbitration for providing assistance to the civil court. When it came to laws and procedures related to crimes, the attention was given to laws and procedures to curb the activities like dacoity and remove mutilation as a method of punishment.
Warren Hastings did not believe in mutilation as an effective punishment and the convicted would become a dependent person and increase the burden on the society. However, mutilation as a punishment was not removed the codes of law and was its usage was refrained in practice. This was done lest resistance by the Muslim law officers who were not open to change and adhered to the texts.
Making certain corrections to the earlier reforms, collectors were asked to resign and other appropriate people were being searched. The new plan came into effect in January, 1774. The suitable personnel were found in Amils or Diwans. Amils were appointed in each district. Amil was given the role of revenue collector and he had the role of judge of Mofussil Diwani Adalat. The Presidencies of Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa were divided into six and headquarters were set up at Calcutta, Murshidabad, Dinajpur, Dacca, and Patna. Each division had several districts under the authority of the headquarters. Provincial councils were set up in each headquarters. Five Covenanted servants were appointed for each council. The function of the provincial councils were supervision of revenue collection. Amils were given the duty of tax and revenue collection. These courts were allotted the function of hearing appeals from Mofussil Diwani Adalat. The appeals of pecuniary value above thousand rupees would go to Sadar Diwani Adalat. These courts became an amalgamation of Mofussil Diwani Adalat and Sadar Diwani Adalat. Now cases of all value and appeals could be heard in the Provincial Council. This became a court of first instance. It was empowered with original jurisdiction. The court heard the cases from the division or headquarters. These cases could be heard directly at these courts.

“Providing Internships changes the whole equation” – Eduardo. J. Pardon
Several startups are open to providing internships for college students and fresh graduates. They trust in the thrust of young minds. The way of approaching the startups is to contact them through emails / by a direct visit with an updated resume in hand. Before approaching them for an opportunity make sure you have a clear idea of what the startup is all about and why you wanted to be in their team.
The interviews in startups are mostly interactive and informal. So make yourself comfortable which would help in obtaining a mutual understanding. Pay attention to the roles assigned to you after you are selected and ask all the queries regarding the same. Then get to know the internship period, work timings, stipend, and the opportunities offered in the company post completion of the internship. Only when you both have satisfaction at the end of the meeting proceed with accepting the offer.
Working in a startup you will always be filled up with mixed emotions. The initial phase would be quite difficult to handle. You might be one of the initial team members of the startup and will be in a circumstance to start from scratch. There will be no expertise to guide and assist you in the process. But that’s the starting point where you could identify your strengths, enrich your knowledge, develop the never-give-up attitude. However, the delight of achieving the output you wanted by starting from scratch will remain an unmatched moment in your life.
Post the intern period begins the phase where you will start to grow with the startup. This might lead you to do multitasking. Some may be able to cope up with multi-tasking and some may feel it as pressure. In case if you are not able to handle the pressure for more than a month then inform the startup regarding the same. Multitasking might seem fascinating, but if it’s not handled properly it might end up as

You are doing good and you will end up at your destination. All the best for your future endeavors.

A COVID 19 vaccine is a vaccine intended to supply or improve immunity against severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS CoV 2), the virus that causes corona virus disease 2019 (COVID 19).
India began to vaccinate from 16 January 2021 . As of twenty-two June 2021, India has vaccinated 294,639,511 doses overall, including first and second doses of the currently-approved vaccines.
Vaccine, manufactured by the Bharat Biotech, may be a Whole-virion inactivated Corona virus Vaccine which is additionally manufactured by this institution and has reduced the productions of vaccines like Influenza, Rabies and Hepatitis- A.
EFFECT OF VACCINE:
Currently, a complete of seven COVID-19 vaccines are available across the world but only three vaccines are circulated in India. However, some people questions about the efficacy of those vaccines, especially the emergence of latest strains of the virus. Vaccines must be effective at that time which significantly reduces the spread of the virus for them to achieve success .
Research has demonstrated that the fashionable and therefore the mRNA-based Pfizer vaccines are 94-95% effective, and therefore the figures have proven true even in trials, studying those at high risk and the elderly.
It is a standard misconception that this suggests 95% who get the vaccine are shielded from the disease, leaving 5% unprotected. If this were true, during a population of 100,000 were vaccinated this is able to cause 5,000 people contracting the virus and developing the disease over three months. This rate is analogous to the present UK COVID-19 case rate.
The 95% effectiveness actually means people with the vaccine have a 95% lower risk of COVID-19 in comparison to an impact group. Without the vaccine, we might expect roughly 1% of the population to urge the disease, and with the vaccine, this reduces to 0.05%. At such low rates, the vaccines will allow society to urge back to ‘normal’ and for restrictions to be permanently eased.
ADVANTAGES OF VACCINES:
The best means of staying healthy is to avoid infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. If, however, you are doing become infected, vaccination appears to limit the danger of developing severe or maybe fatal symptoms. this is often because the currently available vaccine primes your immunological system for producing antibodies without causing you to urge sick. If you are doing become infected, your body is ready to fight the disease. Vaccination typically leads to fewer or milder symptoms when you’re ill
By getting the COVID-19 vaccine, you furthermore may lessen the prospect of spreading the COVID-19 pathogen to relations , friends, or people with whom you’ve got contact.
All FDA-approved medications are clinically tested before release to the general public . The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine has been shown to be 94-95 percent effective within fortnight of full inoculation. In other words, the vaccines will safeguard 19 out of each 20 persons inoculated from becoming seriously ill with COVID-19.
As with any vaccination, some side effects are recorded. These include soreness at the injection site, headaches, chills, fever, and fatigue. within the great majority of cases, these post-inoculation symptoms will disappear quickly. they’re also far less severe than the foremost serious COVID-19 symptoms.
The virus has spread across the planet , and therefore the inflection point has yet to be reached, indicating that transmission will still occur unless the virus is firmly controlled. Thus, developing a COVID-19 vaccine which will be used globally may be a major priority.
A Good Takeaway is something essential for all human beings.
There are only a few genres that create an inevitable impact in the hearts of readers and Autobiographies are considered to be one of the genres that stand out as an influencing factor in the lives of many people. Similarly, Most of us prefer less drama and Assertive pieces of work quite interesting, which makes nonfiction stories likeable. What could be more interesting when two most riveting genres combine! Yes, i will be writing about one of my favourite books, which is an ‘Autobiographical Nonfiction’- “Being Reshma” an impeccable life story of an acid attack survivor or to be more accurate, a warrior, who ought to overcome a traumatic experience of her life and has also succeeded, This book was written by Tania Singh and co-authored by Reshma Qureshi herself.
This book, an inspiration, is about Reshma (the protagonist) , a girl who faced a tragic incident and was thrown acid by her own sister’s former husband as an act of revenge. Her entire face, skin and bones were damaged then she was taken to a hospital. Reshma was shunned by The hospital and the police authorities responses, which was very harsh. Despite facing many hurdles, Reshma didn’t shatter and succumb to her condition, but shone bright by becoming the first acid attack survivor to walk the runway at Newyork fashion week in 2016 which is just two years post such a terrific incident. She made global headlines by proving herself.
Besides, Reshma participated in many such events and campaigns. In one such campaign called #endacidsale which was held in 2015, Reshma asserted a strong statement which was also mentioned in her book, that is, “You will find red lipstick easily in the market, just like concentrated acid. This is how, every day, a girl becomes a victim of an acid attack.”(Qureshi 138) Which is a very bold statement that made many people think twice and is emotional, also one of my personal favourite lines said by her. Reshma never stopped campaigning against acid Attacks. Reshma also asserts that she wouldn’t stop raising awareness and narrate the ordeal of her life until the discriminatory and diverse mentality of people against acid Attack survivors come to an end.
We all know acid attacks are not uncommon in India which is truly heartbreaking. Such inspiring autobiographies create powerful impressions and stimulate each of us to achieve big things in life regardless of insurmountable obstacles our life offers, which is nothing compared to life histories of many great personalities like Reshma Qureshi who proved herself and sets a great example for many more youngsters like me.
In the midst of people who are very much concerned about physical Appearance, there are also people who embrace themselves with open heart and acceptance, which makes them succeed in life in unimaginable ways.
Hence, if at all people lack confidence in overcoming insecurities I would highly suggest this must-read Autobiographical nonfiction story, “Being Reshma” A Phenomenon.
India has always been a country which has had it’s own issues and problems. Over the years people have may have looked to change but to be honest there is not much change among people. This is an interpretation of an excerpt about the city of Mumbai, The city might have it’s own beauty but under this beauty there are huge scams and secrets running in the city. The city has a very ongoing influx and efflux of people due to its so called name. The country of India itself is referred to the place of No’s as wherever you whatever you do, there is a huge blockage and that is of the No.
People constantly get rejected. Want an auto? No. Want a ride? No. Want some help? No. The metropolis such as Bombay usually have a huge problem of Overpopulation. In a single building there is a huge population which causes a rise in issues and lack of privacy. Indians also do not maintain their own places of living. Usually winds blow in a lot of garbage into houses which cause ailments and soon people end up in a hospital. Service providers come to do their work on their own will and own sweet time no matter when the owner calls them. People choose to do their own work according to their own desire and wills.
Another problem is how our country provides the whole world with some of the best technical brains and forces but yet we do not develop. People go abroad to study and settle down instead of working for our own country. Why is that? The chances of the population go to either the meritious or the rich. You are either smart or you are rich to buy them off. Everything done in this country falls under the quota of academics or money. People usually do not tend to see the other characteristics of an individual such as confidence or athletic capacity as sometimes these can also define an individual.
These are just a percent of the issues of the Indian population there are a hundred more reasons why our country is still stuck in the same status and rank in the case of development. While other countries are rushing their way through development, India still takes small steps just to reach a goal. The people and their mentalities are the main reason why the country is failing to develop unlike a lot of its peers.
Sentence: A set of words that is complete in itself, typically containing a subject and predicate, conveying a statement, question, exclamation, or command, and consisting of a main clause and sometimes one or more subordinate clauses. these are three types 1) Simple sentence 2) Compound sentence 3) Complex sentence
Simple Sentence: A Simple sentence has only one Subject and one Predicate. [OR] A Simple sentence has only one Finite Verb. Sentence consists of two parts: The moon was bright and we could see our way. 1. The moon was bright. 2. We could see our way. The Co-Ordinating Conjunction “and’ join these two parts. Each part contains a Subject and a Predicate of its own. Thus, each part is what we call a Clause. We further notice that each clause makes good sense by itself and could stand a separate sentence. Therefore, each clause is independent of the other or the same order and is called a Principal or Main Clause.
Compound Sentence: A sentence, such as the second, made up of Principal or Main Clauses, is called a Compound Sentence. [OR] A Compound sentence is one made up of two or more Principal or Main Clauses. Sentence: Night came on and rain fell heavily and we all got very wet. 1.Night came on. 2. Rain fell heavily. 3. We all got very wet. Such a sentence is also called a Compound sentence.
Complex sentence: A complex sentence consists of one main clause and one more Subordinate Clause. Sentence : They rested when evening came. 1. They rested . 2. When evening came. Each part contains a Subject and a Predicate of its own and forms part of a large sentence. Each part is, therefore, a Clause. We further notice that the Clause, They rested, makes good sense by itself and could stand by itself as a complete sentence. It is therefore called the Principal or Main Clause. The clause, when evening came, cannot stand by itself and make good sense. It is dependent on the clausethey rested . It is therefore called a Dependent or Subordinate Clause. A sentence, such as the fourth, is called a Complex Sentence.
Unemployment and poverty goes side by side. Young people after a long time of unemployment find the wrong way to earn money.To get rid from the unemployment stress, they accept alcohol or drugs.Unemployed youths accepts suicide as the last option of their life.Lower economic growth.Unemployment means a person willing to work but unable to find a qualified job. Our country is facing many problems but one of the serious problem is of unemployment. Many graduates, doctors, engineers, scientist are unemployed or working underemployed.
Due to unemployment we are wasting our country’s human resource. The unemployed rate in between age group 15- 29 has been increased since 2009-2010. According to the Global Employment Trends 2014 the unemployment rate has raised to 3.8%, last year it was 3.7%. The International Labour Organisation (ILO) has said in the recent report that India has shown rise in the unemployment in the last two years.If the problem of unemployment is solved it will help in development of the country. With Population of1.20 billion in our country the unemployment rate is increasing day by day.
The problem of unemployment is rising but still many industries are facing the problem of skilled candidate for their company. There is a boom of software companies, Outsourcing companies in India, but still facing the problem of unemployment. Here are some of the reasons why there is unemployment in India.
There are employment opportunities in India, but the rising population problem creates the unemployment. If the population grows in the same rate the next generation will face more problems of unemployment. If there is vacancy for 1 position 100 or 1000 apply for the position and only one gets the job and others remain unemployed.InflationIndians don’t take jobs which are below their grades. Many find it difficult to work at the below qualification level job.Low wages or salary below the market rate.Many big industries look for the skilled candidate only, for their company.RecessionMany Employers give preference to the experienced candidates only and not the fresher.Not enough or new jobs: As per the experience & analysis from Get Sarkai Naukri, number of new government jobs is decreasing every year. Government is not able to create enough jobs keeping in mind the Indian population.Slow business expansion Advanced Technology: Earlier for a task hundreds or thousand people were required to do a work but now due to the advanced technology only one person can do many people’s work. With the advanced technology companies are hiring few persons to operate the machine. Give a command on computer and the work is done this has cut off the employment of many.Corruption: In Government sector and in some private sector people get the job by giving the bribe. Even though the candidate is not that qualified but if he gives the bribe he gets the job. So to get a government job give a bribe.The qualified candidate remains unemployed as no money to give the bribe. Even though the candidate is not that qualified but if he gives the bribe he gets the job. So to get a government job give a bribe.The qualified candidate remains unemployed as no money to give the bribe. The problem of unemployment gives rise to the problem of poverty. As the employed youth don’t have anything to do they start doing robbery, murder etc.Health issues i.e it affects mentally as well as physically Solutions to the unemployment in India .
1. The very first solution for the unemployment is to control the rising population of our country. Government should motivate people to have small families. Indian government has started initiatives to control the population but still the population is rising.
2. The quality of Indian education should be improved. The current education system is not upto the level. Government should keep a strict watch on the education system and try to implement new ways to generate skilled labour force. Government should select a committee to look after the schools and universities. The syllabus taught is of no use to the industries so the education should be as per the current requirements of the industries. Before completing the education a practical knowledge should be given.
3. Also today’s youth should join the institute or select the course where proper training is given and the course is as per the current industries requirements. Take the course as per your interest and which will bright your future.
4. Government should encourage and develop the agriculture based industries in rural areas so that the rural candidates don’t migrate to the urban areas. More employment should be generated in rural areas for the seasonal unemployment people.
5. Rapid Industrialization should be created.
6. Development of the rural areas will stop the migration of the rural people to the urban cities and this will not put more pressure on the urban city jobs.
7. Government should allow more foreign companies to open their unit in India, so that more employment opportunities will be available.
Sometimes what we need to get peace from everything else is the seclusion. Seclusion is a state of being alone and away from people or to be more precise, becoming more private with life.
People nowadays finds it difficult to find peace in anything. This world of politics, wars, betrayals, failures, demises makes a person lose faith in good vibes and they even lose confidence in themselves. Today, people goes through heartbreaks whether it is in friendship or relationship. Sometimes the heartbreaks comes from their families , their careers or their dreams. All these negativity makes a person feel completely exhausted and depressed.
This is the time when a person needs to live in solitude and seclusion. Sometimes, when the times are hard it is better to spend a few time with your own self for getting the peace. Seclusion gives the freedom to live in the way what a person would desire. Tearing apart all the boundaries and shackles of the responsibilities, seclusion gives the person to enjoy the life in their own way.
When a person resides in solitude or seclusion, they can make themselves happy by doing the things that they wanted to do for a long time, for example, they can go traveling or they can concentrate more on their hobbies that they were unable to do for various reasons. It is the time when a person makes time for their own selves and thus this helps them to know more about their own. They can explore their hidden talents. This is the time when a person completely understands what they truly desire .
Seclusion provides a way for having the idea and practicing self-love. We may sometimes feel that no one loves us but that’s not the right thing for a happy life. First we have to love ourselves and for that being away from people for a while makes us realise that. People should do things that make them feel happy with themselves. They should not feel bored with themselves or be dependent on anyone to become happy.
Seclusion gives us an opportunity to live the actual life rather than depending on the social media likes and comments. Nowadays people depend a lot on these social medias. The series of likes and comments puts a very bad impact on a person that if anytime they get less likes or comments they feel heartbroken and their self-confidence decreases. But if someone become isolated from this world of social media they can find that they are good enough the way they are.
Finding peace in own self and growing self love can only be achieved when a person gives time to themselves. It is a very important step which should be taken by everyone so that for a while they can detach themselves from this world and find peace in themselves. Seclusion is enjoyable if you start doing self-love and enjoying your own company and not depending on anyone for your happiness. Because at the end of the day it is you who is there for own self.
We most of us are living in towns and cities nowadays and our lifestyle has changed a lot. We are living in a place full of tall apartments, shopping malls, all big companies and so on. But is there plenty of trees around us? Absolutely no. Yes we are living in a place filled with pollution and dust. But think of a village life? Life is peaceful over there with nature.
Village is a place surrounded by only nature things. We can say it as a non-polluted area. People over there don’t live luxurious life, but a peaceful and happy life. The atmosphere over the village will also be dust free as the whole area would be surrounded by trees and plants. The best part of village would be the agricultural lands. Most of the people would be farmers in the village who are the backbone of our country. Yes, farmers are the ones who provide us food. Farmers are the best hard working people in the world. Also the people in villages are not by much of diseases.
The food they eat also will be healthy foods which naturally gives us strength. They consume chemical free foods which make them healthier. They also follow certain culture and tradition to celebrate festivals. The traditional festivals in village would be fascinating to watch. All the families would gather together for a festival in villages and celebrate with joy and happiness. The people in villages spend time with their family more than the people who live in cities. Even though some villages don’t have good network facility they remain in contact with their friends and family. Moreover, people in village give respect to each other and help them when they are in need of help. But we people in cities are living a life where there is no time to spend with family and friends.
Children in village also grow up in a good society. The children over there learn good character which develop them into a perfect individual. They also play more outdoor games rather than sitting with gadgets. They too get good education and bloom into perfect professionals. Some children also study farming and bring out new methods in organic farming.
Villages doesn’t have big apartments, but houses which are small and beautiful. The villagers are happy and satisfied with what they have. They also treat animals with love and care. They don’t torture the animals rather give them good food and take care of them. Villagers are people with culture and respectfulness. The people in the village are always happy.
But nowadays we are destroying these beautiful villages and turning it to industries and apartment. Let us stop doing that and also promote afforestation. Imagine can we get a life like in this cities? Exactly no. So at least we will plant more trees in the place we are and make our area pollution free.
cybercrime is committed by cybercriminals or hackers who want to make money. Cybercrime is carried out by individuals or organizations.
Some cybercriminals are organized, use advanced techniques and are highly technically skilled. Others are novice hackers.Rarely, cybercrime aims to damage computers for reasons other than profit. These could be political or personal.
Sometimes cybercriminals conduct both categories of cybercrime at once. They may target computers with viruses first. Then, use them to spread malware to other machines or throughout a network.
Using anti-virus or a comprehensive internet security solution like Kaspersky Total Security is a smart way to protect your system from attacks.Anti-virus software allows you to scan, detect and remove threats before they become a problem. Having this protection in place helps to protect your computer and your data from cybercrime, giving you piece of mind.If you use anti-virus software, make sure you keep it updated to get the best level of protection.
The actions required to create new ideas, processes or products which when implemented lead to positive effective change. While invention requires the creation of new ideas, processes or products, innovation moves one step further and requires implementation of the inventive act. Innovation also implies a value system which seeks to derive a positive outcome from the inventive act. For example, actions which lead to a negative performance metric would not be considered innovative, even if they met the requirements of novelty and enabling actions.
Innovation is creating new value and/or capturing value in a new way. Value is the key word, stressing the difference between innovation and invention. The definition is simple, easy to memorize and also good enough to encompass innovation in all the value chain.
In little more than a decade, the impact of social media has gone from being an entertaining extra to a fully integrated part of nearly every aspect of daily life for many.
And in the ultimate meshing of the digital and physical worlds, Elon Musk raised the specter of essentially removing the space between social and media through the invention — at some future time — of a brain implant that connects human tissue to computer chips.
