IMPORTANCE AND VALUE OF INTERNSHIPS

With the world changing daily, the people around it needed to be the part of that growth cycle too. Getting a job in today’s market is definitely challenging and that’s where internship makes a difference. An internship is probably the most important thing to get out of your undergraduate education because internships combine classroom knowledge and theory with practical application and skills earned in professional or community settings. This is the most significant aspect of internships. They also provide many advantages to students, both while pursuing a degree and afterward when looking for a job. Students also get numerous essential professional connections through practical learning opportunities such as internships before they even graduate. Internships not only help you gain professional experience, but they also help you build your character. When it comes to hiring, there are many businesses that prefer personal attributes over professional competence. Integrity, devotion, and self-motivation are just a few of the attributes that can be taught through an internship. During an internship, a student may meet a mentor who can assist him in a variety of ways. Even when you will become successful but these lessons you learned will stay with you forever. And employers will want college graduates who have more than just qualification when they leave school; they will want individuals who have the personal traits required to do a good job. An internship’s main value is that it sharpens one’s skills, but it also helps one develop character in the workplace. Internships are a great way to learn new abilities, put them to the test, and grow as a person so you can apply what you’ve learned in the classroom to the real world. Internships are essential for students to prepare for the workforce and most firms nowadays are looking for college graduates who have prior work experience and abilities in a specific industry. While everyone hopes to leave an internship feeling elated and enthusiastic about the opportunity, there is a silver lining if you don’t enjoy the work: you’ll learn what you don’t like. And that is equally important too.

It’s also true that the presence of internships benefits more than only students. Employers will benefit from a variety of distinct advantages when they hire soon-to-be graduates. When it comes to hiring new personnel, hiring is always taking a risk in deciding whether or not an applicant is a good fit. But an internship allows a company to assess how a candidate would perform in the real world. Organizations can utilise internships to teach the up-and-coming generation of industry experts to the distinctive elements, offerings, and needs of their brand, in addition to using them to acquire an in-depth review of soon-to-be graduates. Employers can learn from students’ fresh perspectives too.

It is undeniable that internships and other experiential learning opportunities are only beneficial for boosting someone’s career. But internships aren’t just for your resume if you’re about to graduate. Their advantages aren’t confined to fresh graduates; they can be felt at any point in one’s career.

IS GURUGRAM THE BEST CITY TO LIVE IN COVID-19 ERA?

According to a report Gurugram is the most apt city to live from a Covid perspective as compared to Bengaluru and Mumbai
According to the report, Gurugram is overall the most suitable city to live from a Covid perspective as compared to Mumbai and Bengaluru

According to a report by Square Yards, Gurugram is the apt city to live during COVID-19 considering the factors like hospital infrastructure, population density and open area ratio. The study titled Suitability Index: The COVID perspective  highlights the suitability and working in three prime cities of our country- Mumbai, Bengaluru and Gurugarm with respect to COVID-19.

The report ascertains that the factors such as hospital infrastructure, population density and open area ratio are far more important than the work distance or affordability to decide where a homebuyer wants to live at a time when coronavirus disease is at it’s peak and transmitting rapidly.

According to the Suitability Index, even though the density of COVID-19 cases in Gurugram is second only to the North, presence of maximum number of hospitals/10K people, more than 40% open area and lowest population density made the area most suitable and hence sustainable and livable  from the COVID-19 perspective. Also as per the analysis, the most suitable zone found in Bengaluru were Mahadevapura, Bellandur, Devasandra and Marathahalli.

In Mumbai, the most suitable zone were found in Western suburbs and the Central suburbs.

The COVID-19  pandemic exposed the shortcomings in medical infrastructure like never before and during this time according to statistics, both Mumbai and Bengaluru offer only 1.3 and 0.30 hospitals per 10,000 people respectively on the other hand, Gurugram surpasses both the cities with 2.5 hospitals for every 10, 000 people. Mumbai had 13 of the total 24 wards severely affected with more than 50 cases per 10,000 people. In Gurugram, the North and East zones averaged 55 cases per sq km while in Bengaluru 4 zones of the total 8 zones recorded more than 200 cases per sq km. The Covid-suitability index for each city suggests that across all cities, suitability increased as people moved away from the city centres and older parts of the city towards more peripheral locations.

Contrary to the common notion, the report suggests that Mumbai has the highest open area ratio amongst the three cities at nearly 45%. Mumbai was the most densely populated with nearly 60,000 people/sq km while Gurugram had the lowest population density at approximately 4200 people/sq km.

“The Suitability Index is an attempt to bring many non-transaction elements to the forefront that can have an impact while making a home buying decision. The ‘new normal’ is here to stay and the idea is to look at factors other than proximity to work or affordability that impacts the choice of residence,” said Anand Moorthy, Business Head – Data Intelligence & Asset Management Services – Square Yards.

Not only these cities are the top real estate destinations in the country, but they are also among the top cities to be severely hit by the pandemic. This is where the relevance of a Suitability Index kicks in. The need for one’s own ‘home’ has gained an all-new dimension since 2020 due to the changes brought about by the pandemic. The study is an attempt at making the home-buying process in the Covid era slightly more pragmatic.
It highlights certain meaningful factors that today’s end users need to acknowledge while deciding to buy the right home in a pandemic like situation.

Olympic Series: India’s fencing hope for the Tokyo Olympics—Bhawani Devi

With less than 40 days left for the Tokyo Olympics, Indian players are gearing up for the event. In the Olympics series today, AIR brings a talk on India’s fencing hope for the Tokyo Olympics—Bhawani Devi.

Born on 27th August in 1993 in Chennai, the exceptional fencing player Bhawani Devi is a name to reckon with. She has created history by becoming the first Indian women fencer to qualify for the Olympics. Bhawani Devi has lent a new identity to India in the discipline of fencing and has earned praise at the international level for her hardwork and gumption.

Sword Fighting was introduced in the schools of Tamilnadu in 2004, it was then that Bhawani Devi entered into the world of the combat sport. Bhawani played her first international match in Turkey when she was merely 14.

Bhawani Devi began her incredible journey by winning medals in the team events. The Indian fencing team won the silver medal in the Commonwealth Games 2009 in Malaysia, the international open 2010 in Thailand and cadet Asian Games 2010 in the Philippines. In 2012, Bhawani won her first individual Bronze medal in the Junior Commonwealth Championship at Jersey, whereas the team won the silver medal.

Bhawani Devi bettered her performance in the 2014 Asian Games in the Philippines and went on to win the silver medal. She became the first Indian to achieve this feat. A year later , she won silver in the under-23 Asian Championship in Mongolia and the Flemish Open in Belgium.

In 2017 in Canberra Bhawani created history by winning the gold medal in the senior Commonwealth Fencing Championship and becoming the first Indian to do so.
Bhawani Devi attributes her success to her parents.

Currently, Bhawani Devi is rigorously preparing for the Tokyo Olympics. She mentioned her possible chance and her ongoing preparation for the Olympics.

And the nation hopes that she will bring laurels in the Tokyo Olympics. The entire nation wishes all success to Bhawani Devi at the Tokyo Olympics.

Culture and civilization

Advocates of cultural nationalism keep emphasising that India has an ancient civilisation, which straight away makes our indian souls distend with pride. India, we contend confidently, was a civilisation while the rest of the world was still barbaric.
Paying no attention that the knowledge of most Indians about our civilisation and culture is limited to buzzwords like Sanskrit, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Bhagavadagita, Vedas, Yoga, Ayurveda, etc. This is enough for us to indicate without the any doubt that India has been a store houseof knowledge, wisdom, high values and greatness .
Last 25 years,brought new wings to the militant belief in our ancient culture and civilisational heritage, magnifying it in our minds to near- mythical proportions.
In the process, we have started glorifying everything Indian and, by association, everything Hindu, without showing the least capacity to introspect why we still lag far behind in transitioning from an ancient civilisation to a modern society. For we never ask ourselves that if our 5,000-year-old civilisational values and culture were so formidable and fantastic, why have we still remained a poor, backward and primitive country in many ways? Right from millions of people who still defecate in the open to mob-lynching in the name of religion or caste or gau-raksha, why are primitive practices and impulses, rampant in our country even in 2017? Why are we no where close to being among the most socially, economically and politically advanced nations of the world?
Generally, most of us immediately point fingers at 400 years of oppression-Mughal rule, followed by the British – as being responsible for exploiting our country and resources, quelling our culture and civilisation, thus leaving India destituted, backward and illeterate. Much evidence has emerged that colonial rule certainly dealt a body blow to India’s growth, handicapping us from taking independent advantage of the industrial revolution that helped Western countries take a quantum leap forward. Mughal rule, however, doesn’t really seem to have caused lasting damage, either materially or culturally. Indeed, with its remarkable ability to tame, embrace and assimilate other influences into its own, India was probably far more vibrant and stable, than much of the world during those centuries.
Looking deeper, as to what elements of our 5,000-year-old civilisation hold us back from becoming a progressive society in today’s world. Could some of the aspects be as religion, idealism deficiency, contempt culture. Almost all the restraints of India is in some way related to our unhealthy obsession with religion ,never-ending rituals, traditions and customs, superstitions and dogmas, fatalistic outlook, caste divisions, gender discrimination, undue importance to worship and piety- all have kept us latently tethered to medieval ideas and practices. It also causes a tremendous resistance to change. As a people, we seem to have no use for idealism, values, principles, in daily life. We think of these as abstract concepts that have to be striven for by mankind, nations, society or the world as a whole. We just don’t think it is our job to actively practise any of these individually. Whether its personal honesty, civic sense, work-ethic, courage to stand up against even small wrongdoing, social responsibility, understanding our rights and duties vis-à-vis others, we are a nation of shirkers or people who generally do what’s easy or expedient, not what is right. Perhaps this is the coping mechanism of the powerless, given that we were ruled for centuries but this trait has become so ingrained in our DNA, that our entire system rewards and supports the bent, the crooked, the mediocre, the mightier – a primitive paradigm that’s antithetical to modernity. This is at the root of so many of our failings -rampant corruption, lackadaisical attitude and lack of pride, professionalism, integrity, commitment and sincerity towards one’s work, which explains why mediocrity, not excellence. Instead, we hide our apathy or complicity behind easy, empty, jingoistic displays of love for our country, as if chest-thumping and slogan-shouting are going to help India achieve greatness. Our subcontinent is infected by terrible contempt for other people and their rights. We want total freedom only for ourselves. The concept that our personal freedom does not mean impinging on the liberty, dignity and legal, human and social rights of others is almost alien to our thought process. We follow only those laws that suit us or don’t cause too much inconvenience. Democracy, in our limited, crude understanding, is the rule of the majority (not just religious, but any group with superior numbers) and those in the minority simply have to accept this, swallow their dignity and live at the mercy of the majority. This lack of sophistication and nuanced understanding of democracy stunts our metamorphosis into a mature, liberal society based on the rule of law and mutual respect, because the culture of contempt provides fertile grounds for injustice, inequality, intolerance to rear their head and go unpunished. Indeed, it’s time we stopped gloating over the glory of our ancient civilisation and fast-forward our evolution into a modern society by dumping regressive legacies.

Lionel Messi threatens to leave Barcelona

After dozens of titles, hundreds of goals and countless records, Lionel Messi’s spectacular career at Barcelona could be coming to an abrupt end. There has been a controversy about Lionel Messi leaving his childhood football club. There is a lot of reasons that has been stated behind this, but there has not been any clarity on what is the actual reason to leave the Barcelona club. Messi joined the club when he was 14 years old. He has helped the club to 10 league titles and four Champions Leagues, scooping a record six Ballons d’Or for his personal contributions along the way. Articles says that the departure of the player is uncertain, but his lawyers have sent a fax outlining the desire to depart. Back in July, it was understood that Messi did not want to leave Barcelona, but it is true that the Argentina international has spoken in the past of potentially joining another club. 

Messi is soon expected to reveal the reasons and clarity for leaving Barcelona in the upcoming days. 

Ronald Koeman said, if Argentine striker Lionel Messi decides to leave, then he is not sure as to who will score goals for the club. Messi’s contract is set to end this season. “For my part and the club, let’s hope he stays with us”, he added. Rafael Nadal, a tennis player also breaks his silence on the contract leak controversy and said, “Messi is one of the best in the history of the game and if the club is willing to pay him what he wants – there is no problem. “In the end there is a player who is undoubtedly one of the best in history and he charges what the club has been willing to pay him. From there, there is no debate I think,” Nadal as quoted by Tennis World USA. 

Lionel Messi has confirmed for now that he will remain at Barcelona for another season having previously stated his intentions to leave the club. Messi’s decision, however, seems forced more than out of choice. In an Interview with Goal.com, Messi said, “I wasn’t happy and wanted to leave. I haven’t been allowed this in any way and I will stay at the club so as not to get into a legal dispute”. A 2-1 loss against Celta Vigo at Camp Nou on Sunday meant Barcelona will not win the LaLiga title this year but seems like the loss would hurt the Catalans more – as it could be the end of Lionel Messi at the Spanish club. In what seems to be the clearest hint ever, Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman has said that it would be impossible to play with Messi and he still hopes the Argentine does not leave Camp Nou.  

“We hope he will not leave because he is still the best player in the world and he has shown today. It is impossible to play without him,” Koeman told a post-match interview with Marca.

Peer Pressure

We often talk about the pressure we deal with in our day-to-day lives. But, do we talk or think about peer pressure? People can be happy and content with their lives. But the sense of dissatisfaction arises as soon as they start comparing their lives and materials with others. They want to “fit in” with their groups or the people they socialize with.

What is Peer Pressure?

Peer pressure is the way how peers (people sharing the same age group or social position) influence each other. This influence is so powerful that it can even lead to going on the wrong track. This influence results in a behavior change, change in attitude and values, to follow their peers.

Not many people know about peer pressure as something that can leave a strong psychological impact on one’s life. It psychologically affects a person to do things according to/or as done by their peers or like groups, to gain social validation. The person may or may not feel good personally about doing something under the pressure of their peers but at the same, the validation from them might feel rewarding.

The most affected group from peer pressure are children and adolescents. Children and adolescents pick up different habits, attitudes, and behavior according to their age. Children, as we know have a habit of imitating what they see happening, and accordingly, they pick up habits from there. A child might what the same kind of bag pack, tiffin box, or any such material stuff as they see in their friend’s circle. They might want a phone or imitate the walking or talking style as their parents, or any celebrities they like. It can be said that children usually pick up attitudes and behaviors that are important to them.

On the other hand, adolescents are the most vulnerable to peer pressure. At this age, the group they are in is of utter importance to them.  They try to get in conformity to their peers’ ideas, styles, ideas, and values.

Peer pressure can have positive effects when people are pressured in a positive direction such as achieving excellent academic or any co-curriculum performance. However, the hunger for social acceptance and validation leads the youth to engage in risky and even at times illegal activities. They often fall prey to wrong deeds and get into alcoholism, drug abuse, life harm, or even sexual abuse.

Adolescence is a crucial and delicate age. Parents need to monitor their children’s activities, behavior, and attitudes. And, if any alarming signs are sensed, immediate action such be taken. However, the monitoring should not make the youth feel suffocated; unable to make any decisions on their own. It should be done in a way that the youth should feel free to talk about his/her feelings and problems with the parents.

Only shouting and scolding is not the solution to keep your child secured from peer pressure and its reputations, rather understanding the age and its impact is important. To keep youth away from the negative impacts of peer pressure, parental support and parental guidance are of utter importance.

UNIFICATION OF PRIVATE INTERNATIONAL LAW

Dictionary meaning of unification is “being united or made into a whole.”

Many lawyers believed a century ago that the law of individual nations could and would eventually be unified. In a well know speech made in 1888, Ernst Zitelmann advanced a case for “global law” (Weltrecht). Because the formalities of legal provisions are the same everywhere and policy goals are, or will be, shared by every civilized society, his argument goes, the law of every nation will eventually converge.

Now, it has been said earlier that the need for private international law arises because the internal laws of different countries differ from each other. There will almost certainly be no need for private international law if all countries’ internal laws provide uniform rules. But then, difference is not only in the internal laws of different countries but also in the private international laws of countries, on account of which sometimes conflicting decisions are pronounced by the courts of different countries on the same matter. Thus, the need for the unification of rules of private international law arises.

There are two modes for unification of private international law:

  • Unification of the internal laws of the countries of the world, and
  • Unification of the rules of private international law

The first step in the direction of the unification of internal laws was taken by the Bern Convention of 1886 under which an international union for the protection of rights of authors over their literary and artistic works was formed.

But this method of unification has not been successful in the long run because every nation differs from the other with respect to culture, religion, the upbringing of the people, public policy, etc.

On account of basic ideological differences among the countries of the world, it is not possible to achieve unification of all private laws. Therefore, another method of avoiding the situation where courts in different countries may arrive at different results on the same matter is the unification of the rules of Private International Law. Given the necessity of unifying Private International Law standards, various substantial international attempts have been made in this regard, some of which have been successful. Prior to 1951, the main focus was on unifying the principles of private international law of European Continental countries, as the vast majority of them have civil law systems. On the other hand, nothing could be done towards the unification of rules of private international law of the commonwealth countries and the United States on the account of fundamental differences between the two systems of law. However, following 1951, several significant attempts at unifying the rules of private international law of all countries of the world were attempted, with some success. In 1951, a permanent bureau of Hague Conference was constituted to look after this issue. The purpose of the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HccH) is to work for the broad unification of the rules of private international law. HccH creates and promotes international agreements in the areas of child protection, family and property relations, legal cooperation and litigation, and commercial and financial law.

This is now handled by the International Institute for Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT). It is an independent intergovernmental organization with its seat in Villa Aldobrandini in Rome. And its purpose is to study the needs and methods for modernizing, harmonizing and coordinating private, and in particular commercial law, as between states and group of states and to formulate uniform law instruments, principles, and rules to achieve those objectives. It was set up in 1926 as an auxiliary organ of the League of Nations. The Institute was re-established in 1940 on the basis of multilateral agreement, the UNIDROIT Statute. As of 2014, UNIDROIT has 63 state members from over 5 continents.

BENEFITS

If the rules of Private International Laws are unified, it’ll reduce the amount of conflicts which arise when a foreign element is involved. Also the proceedings will be less time-consuming. The proceedings will run smoothly and move ahead in an efficient manner as the Courts would know which law to apply and would not have to spend time on that question. Also, in this era of globalization, unification of rules can bring the entire world on the same platform.

DRAWBACKS AND CHALLENGES

Internal laws of every country are different to each other as per their requirement. But now, the trend which can be observed is that even Private International Laws are very different from one another and not uniform in most of the countries. The foremost challenge in the unification of rules is to make different countries agree to the same rules. Secondly, for obvious reasons every nation would want the rules to be as per their needs. So such circumstances, the requirements of some/many countries may be overlooked even if uniform rules are agreed to. Another major challenge will be to enforce these rules in each and every countries of the world.

Since laws differ from one state to another often times, the conclusions for a defined problem are different, for different states. Now, unification of the internal laws of every country is practically impossible because the internal laws of every country are made only as per the requirements for their society. Therefore, internal laws differ from country to country.

But if rules for private international law are unified then it might solve the dilemma of deciding the applicable laws in a matter involving foreign element. As private international law rules are applied as the domestic rules of a country.

With the help of such unification duration of court proceedings could be reduced and uniformity among the countries could be brought. Also with the help of unification all the countries could be bought at same platform.

The fundamental concept of unification is that the final goal of all the courts of all countries of world is similar that is to bring justice. Thus, with the help of unification of rules of private international law justice could be served at a fast rate and conflicting judgments on same matter by different courts of different countries can be avoided.

MINIMUM SUPPORT PRICE (MSP)

MSP or Minimum Support Price refers to the price set by Government of India on agricultural products. The price is set keeping in mind that the farmers earn atleast the minimum profit of that product and incur the cost of the harvest. This is not enforceable by the law. As mentioned above, this is to ensure that the farmers doesn’t get cheated and are ensured to the least selling price for his commodity.

Generally, it is updated in the month of June every year and so it did this year too.

Minimum Support Price (MSP) is fixed on the recommendation of the “Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices” since the year 2009.

How are MSPs calculated?

Minimum Support Price is fixed by Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP). This is calculated by keeping in mind the various factors responsible for it such as:

• Cost of production
• Demand
• Supply
• Fluctuations in domestic market prices
• International market prices
• Agricultural wage rate

Which are the commodities that are covered under MSP?

CACP recommends MSPs of 23 commodities, which comprises of seven cereals, five pulses,  seven oilseeds and four commercial crops, namely:

Cereals:
• Paddy
• Wheat
• Maize
• Sorghum
• Pearl millet
• Barley and
• Ragi

Pulses:
• Gram
• Tur
• Moong
• Urad
• Lentil

Oilseeds:
• Groundnut
• Rapeseed-mustard
• Soyabean
• Sesamum
• Sunflower
• Safflower and
• Nigerseed

Commercial Crops:
•Copra
• Sugarcane
• Cotton and
• Raw jute

Year 2021-22‘s MSP:

After the government announced the fresh rates of MSPs this year in the month of June, we noticed there were rise in 22 kharif crop’s MSPs.
On one hand, Sesamum saw the highest rise(per quintal) of about ₹452, while on the other hand, Maize experienced the lowest (per quintal) of just ₹20 this year.

These are few of the crops that saw a rise this year. Namely, Bajra (₹2250), Maize (₹1870), Ragi (₹3377), Tur/Arhar (₹6300), Moong (₹7275), Urad (₹6300), Sesamum (₹7307).

Few are satisfied with the rise in MSPs of these commodities and few says that this isn’t it. Moreover, this is a good news for the farmers across the country and let’s see what else could it offer the next year.

You can comment your views on this and let us know what you feel about this.

Special Relativity Made Easy

Does the word “special relativity” strike fear in your heart? It might seem tough at first glance but it is very easy to understand. 

Postulates

Special theory of relativity is a theory regarding space and time, given by Albert einstein. The main postulates of this theory are: 

1]The Principle of Relativity : The laws of physics are the same in every inertial frame of reference. 

2]The Principle of Invariant Light Speed :The speed of light in vacuum is the same in all inertial frames of reference and is independent of the motion of the light source.

Now, let us understand these two postulates. The first postulate basically means that physical laws, for example, Newton’s laws of motion and laws of electromagnetism, are independent from the choice of inertial systems.  If the laws differed, that difference could distinguish one inertial frame from the others or make one frame somehow more “correct” than another. However, all frames of reference are correct in their own way. Suppose you watch two children playing catch with a ball while the three of you are aboard a train moving with constant velocity. Your observations of the motion of the ball, no matter how carefully done, can’t tell you how fast (or whether) the train is moving. If seen from outside, all three appear to be moving with the train at constant velocity.  This is because Newton’s laws of motion are the same in every inertial frame.

Let’s think about what the second postulate means. Suppose two observers measure the speed of light in vacuum. One is at rest with respect to the light source, and the other is moving away from it. Both are in inertial frames of reference. According to the principle of relativity, the two observers must obtain the same result, despite the fact that one is moving with respect to the other. Now suppose a spacecraft moving with constant velocity turns on a searchlight. An observer on the spacecraft measures the speed of light emitted by the searchlight and obtains the value. According to Einstein’s second postulate, the motion of the light after it has left the source cannot depend on the motion of the source. So the observer on earth who measures the speed of this same light must also obtain the same value. This result contradicts our elementary notion of relative velocities, and it may not appear to agree with common sense. But “common sense” is intuition based on everyday experience, and this does not usually include measurements of the speed of light. 

Speed of light as a constant

Einstein’s second postulate immediately implies the following result: It is impossible for an inertial observer to travel at c, the speed of light in vacuum. We can prove this by showing that travel at c implies a logical contradiction. Suppose that the spacecraft is moving at the speed of light relative to an observer on the earth, so that If the spacecraft turns on a headlight, the second postulate now asserts that the earth observer measures the headlight beam to be also moving at c. Thus this observer measures that the headlight beam and the spacecraft move together and are always at the same point in space. But Einstein’s second postulate also asserts that the headlight beam moves at a speed relative to the spacecraft, so they cannot be at the same point in space. This contradictory result can be avoided only if it is impossible for an inertial observer, such as a passenger on the spacecraft, to move at.

Hopefully, now you can brag that you know the special theory of relativity.

Life : tragedy or comedy

When we are talking about life, we all know that God is the ultimate creator of our story, God not only creates this story but also all the characters of our story whatever villain, hero, and other side roles, all of them were created by the god. but with that god also give power to the main character so that he/she will change the story of the game. But the problem is that the so-called main character and I are sure you can understand who is this main character, we all are the main character in our life like you in your life and I am in my life.

But the real problem with that main character is since childhood, he/she will be introduced by various rules of the society ( the location where all these games take), but at that time the main character is a child, and he/ she was unable to understand any of these rules and how they can understand because they are so small, their brain also less developed, and the process of understanding about something is going on, but after sometime when he/ she is 5-6 year old, so curious about all the things in the world, they always have some questions about something, whatever the question will fit on the society rule or not. but who will give the answers to their questions?

Of course their parents, but for this parents also have some time for their children, but they are busy in their career, it’s not their fault, its the requirements of their home, so they are busy in earning money for their livelihood. And the main character is unable to get their answers, and what he/she saw at that time they understood that this is the pattern of life, then after some time he/she admitted in the schools, new atmosphere, new people, new rules a unique world, world change question also changed, before that they have 100 questions to ask , but now they have 1000 question, but the tragedy is who will answer all of them, no one, because in school they have their system which only creates two types of person one who secure 1 rank, who is intelligent and other who failed or get less Mark and their name change from XYZ to looser,

We all have one power, our unconscious mind captured things fast as compared to the conscious mind but it has a defect it never differentiates between wrong or right.

We all learn from our surrounding atmosphere.so in this way the main character will be developing.and with the time the habit of asking questions also reduced slowly and after sometimes completely stopped,

At the age, of 15 – 16, this main character completely free from question asking habit like the word why is only present in the language not in life.

At this age, when he/she is introduced to the world, and see the real world, real people, their moment changing behavior the main character become confused about is true? The fairy tale stories or these two face people.

Then, after their parents told, you are mature now, so you have to earn your living and follow the pattern of life, the pattern which was created by 4 people, but I am sorry you never have a chance to meet that 4 people.4 unknown people, neither we know them nor they know us. But if you have come into this world, you have to follow those 4 people

And that time, the main character will completely be trapped between the rules. He/she will never find out those basic questions about lifelike

1) what is the purpose of their life

2) what is the basic rules of life

3) why she/ he will follow these rules

4) what should be followed or what should be ignored

5) follow the pattern of life, is right or wrong

Childhood is one of the important phases of life.
