There are famous words said by the scholars that ‘think before you speak’ which means whenever you pass a statement on any person you should be careful what you are speaking knowing all the facts, circumstances but not eligible to pass any defamatory sentence on any person, it comes under the ambit of the offence, even in civil as well as criminal. Now the question comes to our mind the word defamation what it means in the real world, in which section of Indian Penal Code it defines. All these major questions try to answer in this article. A person doesn’t know the meaning of the word ‘defamation’ but the word defamation means that saying something wrong about a person is comes under the ambit of the defamation or defamatory sentence. For instance- ‘A’ is the worker in ‘B’s mill, but ‘B’ states that ‘A’ is not a hardworking person nor even loyal towards his responsibilities, he tries to even steal some money from the locker, without having the proof, records and knowing the facts, but he passes the statement which is defamatory in nature. Then in such cases, it comes under the ambit of defamation. The defamation is also the civil wrong and criminal wrong. The question comes then can we are not capable to say anything about the person, in such case the answer is, if the statement is related to defamation of the person then, it is considered as wrong in the eye of the law. In the Indian Penal Code 1860, the defamation is defined in section 499 to 502 which talks about the offence that anything spoken or with signs, visible representations with the intention to harm the person knowing the reason, that will harm the reputation of the person. In civil, the defamation is further divided into two classifications that we called libel and slander. The libel and slander are two types of defamation, one is by the word spoken or in any defamatory sentence printed or the other is defamation by the signs and representation that is visible to the individual. These two are called that one is for eyes and one is for ear, in any form defamatory sentence which harms the intention of the individual called as an offence. The section of 502of the Indian Penal Code 1860, that anything which is in printed form and engraved form, having a good reason to believe that such matter is defamatory in nature. The punishment for the offence of the defamation is simple imprisonment, which may extend to two years or with the fine or both which means the person is punished as well as eligible to pay the fine as well. We can not say that defamation is limited to symbols, signs that are used as defamatory for the person but the section 502 talks about the sale or printed engraved substance containing defamatory matter which means the person whosoever knowingly sale the defamatory substance just to make defamation of the person and even harms the reputation of the individual and not in the good faith. The legislature gives the person to lives its life at the full extent of freedom but at the same punished the person when any defamatory sentence is passed which harms the reputation of the individual. The constitution of India is the supreme itself impose some reasonable restriction in the article freedom of speech. So in this way, it is good to speak what you think but always make sure whatever you will speak is correct and also have some reasonability grounds to believe nut that statement doesn’t harm the reputation of the individual
The Characteristics Of A Dolphin
Marine life is pretty vast and mysterious. We have only yet discovered about 3 percent of our oceans. So there is a large space left to our imaginations. Many species of aquatic life reside in the oceans. There are phytoplankton for trees, oxygen mixed with water for inhalation, sharks and whales for predators, small fishes for prey and many more. One of the curious things is….How do dolphins breathe?Well for that first we have to see what makes us,humans different from dolphins in the race of respiration
- Human respiration
Now, we are terrestrial animals and mammals. Our breathing when we sleep is slightly different from dolphins. We humans have our reflexes which makes us continue breathing even when we are unconscious (sleeping).Yes, the breathing is just 15 percent of when we are actually awake but the breathing process is automatic and continuous.

- Dolphins
Now, dolphins are some interesting creatures.They are mammals, like us. So they don’t really have any bills like fishes do. Meaning they can’t breathe the oxygen which is dissolved in water but completely depend on atmospheric oxygen .Which is why they have to come up regularly, from the water to breathe in the oxygen. But the actual problem and the question arises when dolphins want to sleep! How does a dolphin breathe when it’s asleep? Anyways it has to breathe for his functions to work properly…

- When they are asleep
When dolphins sleep, they do something very interesting. For that we have to see the body structure of a dolphin. We all agree that a brain has 2 parts. So what happens is, dolphins have their left brain connected to the right eye and the right brain connected to the left eye. Basically, it allows one half of a brain to sleep at a time. So, only half of the brain is unconscious while the other remains awake. So, if the left brain is resting, and the right eye is closed, is the left eye still open? Yes! As the left brain is still awake,the right eye remains open. Don’t get confused:1. Left eye- connected to the right brain. 2. Right eye- connected to the left brain.
From: Jeremy Bishop
So if one pair of the brain and eye are sleeping, the other part remains awake and continues to do the normal activities like breathing. Sometimes, they can even be seen swimming gently and steadily while the other part remains unconscious. The dolphins cannot sleep in complete unconsciousness because then they will drown because they constantly need oxygen for staying alive. This process continues periodically until both the parts have rested and the dolphin continues to do it’s normal work.This process also has a name – unihemispheric sleep because they sleep with semi- unconsciousness. Meaning, only one brain sleeps at a time. Sometimes, it sleeps on the sea bed and arise constantly for air to breathe. Now, you never mess with a sleeping dolphin, because they are never completely unconscious and when you are disturbing them, the conscious part of Their brain and the unconscious part awakens , starting to chase you, and that will not be pleasant. According to EEG at average, a dolphin sleeps for probably 8 hours. That can be under water for about 8 to 10 minutes, maximum- 15 minutes.
Their nostrils are called blow holes which are present just top of their heads. They also have the ability to alter their surroundings.

Fun fact- After humans, dolphins come second in the property of the development of brain because they have complex abilities like problem solving, forming social groups etc.
Blow holes are closed when underwater. Hence, preventing the dolphins surviving, underwater. But haven’t they adapted themselves to grow gills and breathe? No, they adapted themselves to survive with this procedure. Well, good for us isn’t it?
But one should know that dolphins which are untrained (wild) are not to be played with. Cases can go up to lacerations (deep cuts) and broken bones as well. This is because wild dolphins like to kill just for fun. In fact, it’s in their emotions which have a property to kill or harm without any particular reason. It is advised that one must not act carelessly with Dolphins.
As usual, being precautions can be the only solution in front of a dolphin🐬
What actually fashion means to us??
Fashion is a popular aesthetic expression at a particular time and place and in a specific context, especially in clothing, footwear, lifestyle, accessories, makeup, hairstyle, and body proportions.Whereas a trend often connotes a peculiar aesthetic expression and often lasting shorter than a season, fashion is a distinctive and industry-supported expression traditionally tied to the fashion season and collections.Style is an expression that lasts over many seasons and is often connected to cultural movements and social markers, symbols, class, and culture.
Even though they are often used together, the term fashion differs from clothes and costumes, where the first describes the material and technical garment, whereas the second has been relegated to special senses like fancy-dress or masquerade wear. Fashion instead describes the social and temporal system that “activates” dress as a social signifier in a certain time and context.
Fashion is a foremost social statement. It is an outward means of expression to people and the rest of the world. With the passage of time, fashion makes our life colorful and changes our life with the time, so fashion is not a new thing in the world as it is found everywhere. Fashion changed from time to time but it has shown its existence in all ages. Not only young people do fashion, children, old people also do it. The ways in which people have behaved and dressed has changed throughout history and differs from place to place around the world. Fashion is ultimately important due to it is not just concealing your body, it also can change your external and internal expression.
Fashion started off in ancient times as culture and clothing was different in every country, now a day it is similar all around the world. Fashion is changing all the time and has unique characteristics, just like the article “How fashion has changed throughout the years” by, Natalie Vogiatzoglou says. For example, what was in in the 60’s were pastel colours, geometric shapes, dresses, skirts, and suits. The “hippie” fashion decade towards the end of the 1960’s. The 1970’s was the “disco” decade, flared pants and jumpsuits were in at this time. Fashion just kept getting crazier every decade. In the 1980’s the bright colours started coming in. Leg warmers, leggings and loose shirts were in at this time. The decade that fashion started getting more comfortable and people didn’t care what they wore was the 1990’s.
Fashion styles make people feel better about them. When you feel good in what you are wearing, you find yourself in a better mood, and in turn people will begin to view you differently. Fashion is essential because it can bring many positive aspects to your life. In a word, it is conducive to our image, our emotion, and our self-esteem.Your first impression is greatly important to other people’s view. Your face cannot change, but your fashion can be converted to make you become more good-looking, at least it would not make people nasty for dressing better. Your clothing influences your professional life and your personal life as well. Not only is fashion a powerful way of manipulating the public’s opinion of you, it also allows you to convey your individuality.
The type of clothing completely depends on the person what you wearing it, thereby it becomes a reflection of his perception of himself, and this is concerned to our personal identity. Another significant factor which influences Fashion trend is technology. There certainly has been a rapid growth of technology in the Fashion industry. For example, wearable technology has become a popular Fashion trend. Furthermore, 3D printing technology and the internet have also made an impact on Fashion.
Social influences are probably the strongest influences on the Fashion trend. Many music stars strongly influence Fashion choice. For example, wearing hoodies became famous due to rap musicians. Furthermore, movie and television actors create a big impact on Fashion. Many youngsters love to emulate the Fashion sense of their favourite celebrity.To sum it up, Fashion certainly has become a part and parcel of human life. It certainly is a force that is here to stay. Most noteworthy, Fashion has immersed every place on Earth.
By nature, man is fashionable because of his inherent desire to see and to be seen. New and current styles in clothes and manners, etc. help people in becoming more smart, attractive, fascinating and lovable. People never like to be out of fashion. Fashion is not confined to etiquette, manners, and dresses alone. It is pervasive and even religion, literature, and arts, etc. have their own fads and fashions. For example, the thirst for fashion has given rise to a variety of styles in writing and there are as many styles as there are famous writers, authors and poets.
Fashion is everywhere and you get to decide your fashion tastes and destiny. So go shopping for new clothes, used ones, or fabric and get to creating the you that you want to be today. It is why it is so important to have at least a basic understanding of how to choose your fashion items and also how to properly mix and match those things for the best results. Having access to the most expensive fashion trends on the market is undoubtedly a benefit, but it’s even more important to have a basic sense of how to maximize the way in which the wearer will display those clothes and other articles.
Legal Aid
This term the ‘legal aid’ is the term which is not very known and not easily understands by the people, usually the term quite new. For example- ‘A’ is the labour, who works whole day and night just to earn and give that money to his family, but ‘B’ is the owner of that mill and he is very rude, and he not gives the proper wages to the labour. To earn more money wife of ‘A’ also starts working in the same mill with his husband, but they both of them not get enough money due to which they feel unable to feed their daughter.
So here they are not that much rich to consult any lawyer or pay their high amount fees and get their wage accordingly the wage act nor even they are much literate to know about the rights and duty of the individual. So, from here we can say that this term arises that we called legal aid. Legal aid the term which means to provide the legal support or remedy those who are not that much financial capacity to deal with legally in such manner the concept of legal aid is introduced. The concept of legal aid is introduced, just to help those who need to deserve it like an insane person, woman or child, scheduled caste and tribe, a victim of human trafficking and many more. In the concept of the legal aid, the individual comes to know the sort of the problem its nature, and how to cure the problem as like the first aid, in which the person gets medical help, not dealing with the caste, sex or racism of the person. In the same manner, the legal aid is just to provide remedies to each and everyone those who, suffer or victim of any legal problem. Even the constitution itself talks about the Article 14, right to equality in all grounds, when the constitution itself talks about equality then it means the equality, is given in the case of the resources distribution and also equal before in the eyes of law. the constitution itself talks about the constitutional remedies under article 32 and article 226 in the Supreme Court and the High court. If the victim feels any kind of grievances they may directly apply to the Supreme court and High court to get justice. Because in the eyes of law justice is important justice can be a delay but it should be given to the victim. The court itself says in the civil matter the person can appeal to the other court in case of balance of convenience and when there are ends of justice, a person may appeal to another court with valid grounds. So, with this, we can say the justice is taken as a priority by the court itself, so in any of the case, justice should be given to the victim. Legal aid is the concept which is especially for the weaker sections to serve the justice, and also provide them with justice. As innocent should not be punished, justice is supreme in any of the cases.
Google Office Facilities
Every software engineer will have a dream of working in Google.We have to admit that cracking google is not that easy. so, every google employee will be thrived hard to crack it. Once they become google employee, every bit of their hard work will be paid not only through salary but also through the facilities available for google employees.

Most of the companies follow the rule that employees should not say a word against their boss. But it is completely different in google. A just joined employee irrespective of the experience he/she had will have the right to say no to his/her boss if the boss is wrong somewhere. Google is a place where the employees will be let free without any restrictions like to sit in a cubical the whole day.

IIT Bombay’s convocation ceremony goes virtual
Avatars attended graduation and not let the spirits get dampened by the current pandemic. The students of IIT Bombay showed their technical talent at their virtual reality graduation ceremony held on Sunday, 23 August 2020. Over 2000 graduates attended this ceremony as their own digital avatars. The University created avatars for each student, faculty members and speaker. In computing World Avatar is a digital representation of a person or character. This word had been taken from the concept of Gods having various forms in Hindu mythology. In Sanskrit, Avatar means Descent. In Hindu mythology when Gods come on to Earth, they take different forms of life and these forms are known as Avatars. We can think of VR as near reality. Virtual Reality uses technology to create an experience that seems real but is not actually happening. It stimulates an Environment and users can interact with 3D objects and living things in this virtual environment. Student avatars walked on the podium to receive their diplomas. Afterwards, these students even interacted with each other. Classmates and Colleagues virtually explored the campus. The Director of IIT Bombay, Professor Subhasis Chaudhuri hoped that this effort will inspire Engineers to think big and think innovatively. His words: “providing a virtual reality experience to all our graduates needed not only highly innovative steps but also a tremendous effort by our professors and staff.” Director Subhasis Chaudhuri said students should not be disadvantaged of a convocation ceremony. “The process involved a lot of planning and technology implementation,” he said. With two months contribution and hard work of a team of 20 resulted in making the virtual convocation a reality. The event live telecasted on DD Sahyadri Channel, Institute’s YouTube channel and Facebook page. Live telecasts commenced with speeches and one student saw each from different categories collecting medals and degrees virtually with their names and photos. A mobile application is designed specially only for IIT Bombay students in which they can see their animated personalized avatars graduating and getting his or her degree. IIT Bombay has taken the health of the students as their first priority besides understanding their needs and emotions. “The Institute thought it best to arrange such a VR-convocation for the graduating students so as not to put their health at risk but at the same time, not deprive them of the sense of achievement and pride of passing out of India’s premier engineering Institute,” IIT-Bombay said. By seeing IIT Bombay’s great Innovation, in his speech, Stephen A. Schwarzman said, “India occupies a unique position in the world today, especially when it comes to technology, where it has established global leadership through its talent. Of the 72 Indian-origin engineers who have founded unicorns across the world, 50 per cent are IIT alumni. IIT engineers are defining the global technology landscape and the newest alumni will be the next generation of future global leaders who will advance that mission”. He further said, with a young, ambitious and tech-savvy population, a forward-thinking government that supports entrepreneurship, and the fourth-largest start-up ecosystem in the world, India is poised to stake its claim as one of the world’s great innovation hubs.” Virtual Reality is a wonderful and innovative technology that is able to spread smiles on IIT Bombay graduates without depriving them from their achievements.
Women life after marriage
Priya Yadav,
We always said that women are goddesses and they always prove it. They handle both their personal and professional life before marriage they work for her parents and after marriage, she works for her husband and family and when she became a mother of a child one more responsibility came for her because of this, sometimes she has to choose personal life over professional life but there are lots of women who came back after a period of time to live there dreams.
Marry com give birth to 3 children in 2007 and 2013. But this doesn’t stop her from being in the ring and doing what she loves to do. After became a mother she won a bronze medal in Olympic 2012, gold medal in Tokyo 2020 in fact she won a gold medal in 2014 after became a mother. She became a first boxer in the history who wins 8 world meet medals last year she won a gold medal in New Delhi. In one of her interviews, she said that people use to think that I could win only when a was not married but after getting married and having children’s I had to struggle a lot she said that it is not easy to come back after getting married and having children. Of Couse, it is not easy but she did and follows her dreams.
Sania mirza a tennis player gives birth to a child in 2018 and take a maternity break of more than 2 years. She comes back to the 2020 summer Olympics and won this match. In one of her interviews, she said that “it is really amazing, something that I could only dream to come back like this and win a tournament straightaway. It is very difficult to play after giving birth to a child because it changes the shape of the body, gain weight, and lots of other challenges they face. She loses 23-26 kilos and nothing stops her.
Chandro and Prakashi Tomar two sisters who pick up a gun in their 60s and are known as the world’s oldest sharpshooters. Chandro Tomar won more than 30 national championships. Her husband neither opposed nor her shooting sports. Chandro has 5 children and 12 grandchildren. Prakashi Tomar wins more than 25 national and international championships. She has 8 children and 20 grandchildren her daughter Seema and Rekha Tomar are also a shooter, Rekha is retired as a shooter but her grandmother is going on.

These women’s are the example for everyone that nothing can stop us for doing what we want to do they always attend to household chores of cooking, cleaning, tending to cattle, and feeding their family but between this, they took some minutes of time for themselves and fulfilled their dreams after a lot of difficulties in their life. There are lots of movies based on this concept like panga, sand ki aakh, Mark Kom and this only represents or tells us that if we decide to do anything in our life we can achieve it at any age and at any cost.
Global Justice & Climate Change
A series of efforts to critique and develop theories of global justice have developed into major research programs for a range of political philosophers and theorists of late. Cosmopolitans argue that robust duties of justice exist between non-compatriots. Non-cosmopolitans either deny the existence of such duties of justice or assert that they are substantially less robust than those between compatriots.
The privilege of making use of fossil fuels has most often fallen to the comparatively wealthy sections of the world, while the burdens of climate change are obviously falling more drastically on the poor. The pressing question of who is responsible for the costs of climate change and the costs of adaptation to it lies at the heart of global justice. Another concern is how an international treaty will assign mitigation costs and whether costs will be assigned in a way that constrains poverty eradicating economic growth in the developing and least developed countries.
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), formed by international treaty in 1992, is the international institution wherein international agreements dealing with climate change occur. Both the treaty and the institution that developed as a result of the treaty. The UNFCCC provides the institutional setting for international negotiations and the Convention provides a deliberative framework in a set of guiding norms.
Cosmopolitans are likely to favour distinguishing the burdens of responding to climate change in a way that provides allowances to developing countries. The Convention applies to a world characterized by extreme poverty and global inequality. Economic development can eradicate poverty but it is energy intensive. A climate change treaty that raises energy prices in the developing world threatens to slow, or prevent, the process by which billions of people may be raised out of extreme poverty.
Considerations of global justice and the Convention’s language of common but differentiated responsibilities have led some people to conclude that a morally acceptable international treaty should distribute various responsibilities of states according to their historic contribution of greenhouse gasses. This idea is subsumed in the polluter-pays-principle. The idea is that those who pollute should pay in proportion to their contribution to the overall pollution problem.
Meanwhile the ability-to-pay-principle assigns responsibility in proportion to an agent’s capacity. The ability-to-pay is often used in the assignment of burdens for financing state activities such as defence against various threats and the provision of certain aspects of the well-being of citizens.
Sustainable development, on the other hand, would be consistent with theories of global justice that require eradicating poverty or decreasing inequalities. It would also be in line with the Convention’s commitment to sustainable development, a comprehensive conception of which had been laid down in its preamble. The goal of development is to eradicate poverty- this requires economic growth, which in turn requires growth in energy consumption and, when cheap fossil fuels are used, a by-product of energy consumption is CO2 emissions. To achieve a poverty eradicating development, developed countries would have to cut down on their emissions heavily. Thinkers such as Darrel Moellendorf have gone on record to say that since emissions growth over the next several decades will come mostly from the developing countries, an effective climate change treaty ought to address their concerns.
UGC: New Guidelines for Online Course and Distance Learning
University Grants Commission (UGC), on 5th September, finalized its integrated online and distance learning regulations to provide easier access to students.
“On Teachers Day, @ugc_india integrated distance and online regulations notified in the gazette focusing on access and equity on one side and quality-centric autonomy to the universities on the other,” Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ said on social media.
Under these regulations, the top 100 universities in the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) or those with 3.26 or above National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) grades will be permitted to provide online courses without prior permission.
“The integrated regulations are student-centric. Many quality provisions have been made to ensure mobility, equivalence among different modes of education, complaint handling mechanism,” Mr Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ said on social media.
The minister further added that the integrated distance and online regulations are compliant to budget and Aatma Nirbhar Bharat announcements made by the government.
The University Grants Commission (UGC) has also released a checklist for students regarding adherence to the duration of the academic session, the prohibition of franchising agreement, and ensuring all activities are within the territorial jurisdiction before enrolling them into distance learning programmes.
“Please ensure that the minimum duration, nomenclature, and qualification for degree programme under which they are enrolling is strict as per UGC notification on the specification of degrees and its amendments,” said UGC Secretary Rajnish Jain in a notice listing the precautions need to be taken by students before enrolling in Open and Distance Learning (ODL) programmes.
“Also ensure that all activities of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) including admission, counselling sessions, contact programmes, programme delivery and examinations are strictly conducted within the territorial jurisdiction,” he added.
As per norms, no university whether central, state, private or deemed to be university, can offer its programmes through franchising agreements with private coaching institutions for admitting learners and conducting courses through open and distance learning and online mode.
“Please ensure that the admission process is carried out through headquarters of the HEIs in a transparent manner. The learners are also advised to verify all details as claimed by the institution on the website. If any deviation is noticed, please communicate the same to UGC for necessary punitive action as per provisions defined under respective regulations,” Jain said.
The secretary also said that in view of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission has decided that the revised academic session for this year as decided by the commission for ODL programmes, shall be kept as a period of 12 months starting from September-October, 2020 and February-March, 2021.
The students have also been advised against taking admission in programmes which are prohibited in distance learning including engineering, medicine, law, dental, pharmacy, nursing, architecture, physiotherapy, agriculture, hotel management, culinary studies, valuation of real estate and MPhil or Phd programmes in any discipline.
Why OFFLINE is still the best idea!
In this world of new normal, Digital has replaced Traditional . But is it worth it ? NO, is atleast my answer . What good is the online classes doing ? I see nothing except the damage. Sticking to the screens for so many hours and plugging in your earphones is only causing an increase in the stress level . Who says there is an increase in concentration level..turning your videos off or even in your videos on and chatting on the Facebook and Whatsapp ..what kind of concentration is this ? How many people in the rural areas even have access to the technology required for attending an online class. Or even how many rural teachers even have access to technology to teach their students online. The literacy level was already bad in the rural areas the pandemic just made it worst.
Online classes has made students lethargic. Lying on the bed or on sofa and attending a class because i need my attendance is exactly what it has become now. The radiation of the laptop or mobile screens is of great harm to children under age. They are more prone to eye infections or weak eyesight. There is an increase in anger and agitation level of both the kids and adults.
Also , what a Traditional concept can do Online can never overtake .The sense of Belongingness can never be replaced by Whatsapp , the social strata,the smell of books can never be replaced by Ebooks ,the environment of a classroom can never be changed by the four walls of your drawing room. There are no technical issues just the emotional ones. You can always run into a staff room and disturb your teacher because you didn’t understand a concept . In the online mode you send a message to the teacher with the uncertainity of receiving a reply. Maybe the doubt will always remain a doubt.
The feeling of a high five you gave to a friend because you got an answer correct, can never be felt by a high five emoji! The programmes that were held on 5th of september, to thank our teachers for the efforts they put in and bring that smile on their face can never be replaced by a virtual wish . The collaborative learning in the classroom can never be repalced by the chaos of everybody unmuting themselves and speaking. The group projects are not the same now.
Maybe, Online is the need of the hour, but saying it is better than Offline doesen’t make much sense!
AFTERALL, “OLD IS ALWAYS GOLD”.
Big Deal in the Cement Industry!
India already is the second largest cement producer in the world.India’s overall cement production capacity was around 545 million tonnes in FY20.Around 98% is produced by private sector rest by public sector and the top 20 companies account of production i.e 70% of the total cement production in India.It is expected that till 2025 around 550-560 million tonnes will be produced because of the expanding divisions like housing,commercial construction and industrial construction.
The deal is between famous detergent maker Nirma and Lafarge cement. In which Nirma is in talks to buy the India business of Lafarge Cement in the deal of the value of Rs 9400 crore. By this, the soap to soda enterprise will become the sixth-largest manufacture in India. If the deal goes well then the company will take on brands like Piramal & JSW. Nirma itself is going to finance the acquisition with a mix of equity & debt. It will increase the cement business to around 13 million tonnes from 2 million tonnes in the state of Rajasthan.
Nirma’s MD Hiren Patel said that,”this will be an transformational and a landmark step for the company’s cement business”.He also added that strong platform like Lafarge’s India business,we plan to take cement business to next level.The best part of Nirma in many years has been that the products that they produce are at lower cost through which everyone can afford.As everyone knows it that Nirma has always given tough competition to the likes of HUL and P&G.It is one of the major players in the field of detergent & toiletries segments.
Nirma had a plan to build a large size cement unit in Gujarat but the plan failed due to environmental issues. But later in November, it commissioned its first cement plant in Rajasthan. The buyout will be the second acquisition after Jaypee Cement by Ultratech for Rs 16189 crore.Lafarge is trying to enter the deal so that its partnership with Swiss Holcim should conclude & operate as single operator in the country.Previously,it tried to sell part of its business to Birla Corp but due to issues of the law it could not.
Analysts expect that Narendra Modi led government has a confidence that it will boost the cement demand in the country.From an annual growth rate of 10% in 2008,of late the rate had fallen to 4% while the prices has came down from Rs 1300 per tonne to Rs 700 per tonne now.
YOU- Before anyone else !
In a society like ours , keeping yourself FIRST, is always termed as “selfish”. It is portrayed as something that is so wrong to do . But why ? Why do we have to prove ourselves everytime we take a decision for our own self. How does it matter ? And why does it matter ? In a democratic country like ours where we have all rights reserved for speech,for living ,for celebrating ,why is this concept of putting ourselves first so “stereotypical”
Every coin has two phases. One the positive one .Another the negative one . So is with ”SELFISHNESS”.
The negative side of selfishness is when you do not care about what others feel or think or if you are hurting somebody by being apathetic completely.
The positive side talks about keeping yourself first with no intentions of hurting somebody. In life, where everybody is competing to be on top ,it is necessary to keep yourself first without the guilt for it. You need to stand for yourself even if that means standing alone . People come and people go, what remains is the experiences ,the lessons you have learnt. When you start keeping yourself second on the list ,you give people a chance to keep you on second as well.Because it is often said “How you love yourself,is how you teach others to love you” . And i’m sure everybody wants to be a priority . It is possible in this journey of self love ,you lose people and may be you will lose bonds that matter ,but remember people who can not appreciate your journey are better staying away from your life because the real ones will always encourage and appreciate you to be the best version of yourself. Afterall it’s not your job to be everything to everyone . And obviously you can’t keep everybody happy ,so maybe it is better to focus on your happiness.
” TO FALL IN LOVE WITH YOURSELF IS THE FIRST SECRET TO HAPPINESS ”
The society is full of comments .Body shaming , racism, comparison ,criticism, and what not .Everything comes to your way . But what you have to do is TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND MEDITATE . Meditate by saying : I don’t want anything that doesen’t want me. And there will be no turning back . Stop listening to things that doesen’t deserve your attention. Stop listening to people who want you second . Start prioritising . Start getting your goals right. Start looking after yourselves .Start heading towards self love. Start keeping yourself first . Because if self love is being selfish become SELFISH . But, yes in a positive way!
A POEM BY JASZ GILL :
Dear Fellow Human Being, You are born wild, You do not deserve to be tamed! Tell yourself, You do not deserve this! All those toxic words you have to listen from people, All those fears they try to pin on your mind, All those giggles they aim at your dreams, All those judgmental stares inspecting your individuality, All those fingers pointing towards your crude character, All those shackles that tie your feet to social expectations, All those cages that do not let your imagination fly free, Listen deeply, you do not deserve any of it. My dear fellow human, you do not deserve this hostility. You are born wild, You do not deserve to be tamed!” ― Jasz Gill
The man behind the SC judgement on “basic structure” dies
Kesavananda Bharati, the seer of Edneer Mutt in Kasargod district of Kerala, whose case led to the historical judgment of the Supreme Court on the “basic structure” doctrine passed away Sunday morning at an age of 80. This case is regarded as the greatest constitutional case in the judicial history of India. In the Kesavananda Bharati vs the state of Kerala, 1973 by the majority of 7-6, the Supreme Court established the basic structure of the constitution which is inviolable and cannot be amended by the Parliament.
Constitutional expert Nani Palkhivala argued on behalf of Bharati challenging the Kerala Land Reforms (Amendment) Act 1969- which had the objective of distributing the land among the landless farmers. This restricted the management of the Edneer mutt’s property which was the only source of income for the asharam. The petition was against the 24, 25 and 29th constitutional amendments which as argued by Bharati breached his fundamental rights under Article 25 (right to practice and propagate religion), Article 26 (freedom of religious denomination, including managing and administering its property) and Article 31 (right to property).
The attempts to amend the constitution began write after its adoption. Initially the SC allowed the Parliament to have absolute powers in making amendments as in Shankari Prasad(1951) and Sajjan Singh(1965) cases, having full faith in the parliamentary leaders who were erstwhile freedom fighters. But later amendments were being made to suit the partisan political interests. Subsequently in the Golaknath case(1967), the SC ruled that the parliament cannot makes amendments in the Fundamental Rights under Part 3 of the constitution. The ruling interpreted the “laws” in article 13 as inclusive of the amendments and so by using Article 368 no laws or amendments were to be made in contradiction to the Fundamental Rights. The Indira Gandhi government hence came up with the 24,25 and 29th amendments.
The SC ruling in the Kesavananda Bharati case, 1973 said that the amendments could not alter the “basic structure” of the constitution and allowed a wide arena for judicial review. The bench however did not establish as to what constitutes the basic structure, leaving it open for the court to adjudicate on a case by case basis. The top court has interpreted the doctrine to include the supremacy of the Constitution, the rule of law, independence of the judiciary, doctrine of separation of powers, federalism, secularism, sovereign democratic republic, the parliamentary system of government, the principle of free and fair elections and the welfare state.
Men have a heart. They really Do!…
Just shut your eyes for a moment and imagine a man. What do you see? I’m sure you must be seeing a masculine body, strong personality and not any fat or weak person.
But why? Why it’s like this only? It’s because we’ve been how a man is portrayed and how a woman is portrayed, what are man things and what are women’s. Gender equality is actually a myth. So, people, there’s a day called Men’s day do exist. Does anybody know the date? I’m sure the number will be negligible, many of you must be getting to know that there’s a day like that now. So 19th November is World Men’s Day. We all remember and celebrate women’s day but on men’s day, there’s nothing. Now few will say, a man’s achievements cannot be celebrated in a day, so we don’t even celebrate or remember it.The society has built a typical stereotype about a man. A man needs to stay strong, he needs to take all the responsibility on his shoulders and most highlighted thing MEN CAN’T CRY.
Men do know that there are many expectations from them, to the society as well as their family. They try their level best to fulfil them. They work hard, give it all they have just to meet the expectations. But even after all the efforts, what if they fail? They can’t even speak up to anyone following the typical stereotype. They can’t even show the pain on their face as they always have to act MAN. They suffer deep inside, even depression eats them. But still, they don’t express anything and keep it buried inside. They always take it all on themselves just to keep their loved ones happy and safe.
Now do one thing, find a man around you, who’s smiling and laughing all day long, making people smile around. You must feel looking at him, wow I wanna be this happy. Now try to watch him when he’s alone and about to sleep. There you’ll find the real person, crying and mourning for all the scars life is giving him. They keep all the pain, sorrows inside and express in front of the pillow at night hiding it from the world.
And Yes! They do care but fail to express. The typical man thing makes them hide their emotions but deep down they really care. If anyone in the family is in trouble, maybe mother, daughter, wife or sister, a man will be always there for you. We speak out loud of gender equality but never act on it. They are still many who disrespect a man portraying themselves as a feminist. But one thing we all should remember that a woman completes a man and a man completes the woman. It takes a lot to be a man and they just need some affection in return. Go to your father, brother, husband or boyfriend, just hug them and say thank you, the typical man will melt in front of you. Believe me, a man is a human too. They too have a heart, they really do!…
Pseudo Feminism!…
A guy is guilty even if proven innocent, a girl is innocent even if she’s guilty. In the name of feminism, we all have lost gender equality concept. I’m not at all supporting men harassing women here. I know many men harass women in real-world as well as virtual. We must raise voice against it when something like this happens. But the bitter truth is men also get harassed by women. They are blamed for the sins they didn’t even commit. Men fall prey to false allegations at times. We’ve developed a mentality that only a man can be wrong every time. So these fake feminists use it as a weapon to harass men with dirty allegations. When it comes to judgement, women always get sympathy corner but not the men. But I say, nobody should crave for sympathy. For our judiciary system, men and women are equal, then who are we to put someone in victim’s place and other in criminal’s.
Now many will create hype misunderstanding my words. I’m not at all antiwomen. I believe in men and women equality by all kind. I too feel like demanding to shoot the rapists on-site when incidents such as Nirbhaya happens. Nobody has the right to slide into any women’s DM and flaunt their manhood. Unsolicited pictures and negativity on social media makes people weak nowadays. But then I see cases where a teenager was falsely alleged by a girl who then committed suicide as he couldn’t handle it. He was proven innocent when he was gone. Another incident where all the teenagers’ boys were blamed for the boys’ locker room, later got to know that it was a girl behind it. A guy in the capital was under false allegations. But he stood up for himself, took all the criticism, fought for years to get justice and finally was proven innocent. There are so many such cases happening around. Nowadays we see a new fad in the market. Pick a person, whether guilty or not and defame in social media, post stories, chat screenshots and gain unnecessary sympathy. This fad is way much dangerous. Even if the person is not guilty, they keep on receiving threats and hate messages. People don’t even give it a second thought before defaming them. I feel nobody has the right to defame anyone publically for the sake of sympathy followers. Fall for using a human card, let’s get judged on human basis and not on gender basis.
I saw a post on social media saying a day without men. But why anybody needs that? A man and women are meant to live together and happy. We ain’t going anywhere without each other. Supporting your own gender doesn’t necessarily mean you have to pull the other one down. Both the genders should get an equal amount of respect. Let’s keep our eyes and mind wide open before judging someone. Gender should not be the definition of innocence. Justice is for all, no matter what gender. If someone tries to take unnecessary advantage of their gender, then it’s our duty as a human being to stand together and fight out such mentalities.
Let’s stand out for equality as a human. Men and women are equal by all means. Both the genders should stand by each other when something wrong happens with one. Let’s stand for the right. Let’s not people take the unnecessary advantage of their gender. We all are equal as a human and we stand for truth and peace.
