Sivasagar was the capital of the mighty Ahoms, who ruled Assam for more than six hundred years till the advent of British. The town, dedicated to Lord Shiva- its name literally meaning “the ocean of Shiva” is strewn with tell-tale ruins of a powerful empire. The most remarkable landscape of the town is the 280 years old Sivasagar tank comprising 129 good acres. Although situated within the heart of the town, the water level of the lake is above the level of town. On its bank are three temples- the Shivadol, the Vishnudol and the Devidol- all three built by Queen Madamika, wife of Shiva Singha in the year 1734. The Shivadol is believed to be the highest Shiva temple in Assam.

Most people in the world have a fear of snakes. Those with an abnormal fear have a whole fear named for them—“Ophidiophobia”. However, the fear seems perfectly rational seeing as how dangerous some of these snakes can be. But a question begs to be asked— Are snakes really that dangerous? The simple answer is that while a majority of the snakes are harmless, we still need to maintain a distance. Bites from venomous or non-venomous snakes can be extremely painful. There are quite a few dangerous snakes in the world and it is always better to know what kind of snake you are dealing with before you decide your next step. So, in order to be better informed we bring to you the top 10 deadliest snakes in the world.
Here are 5 most Venomous Snakes in the world and what make them so-
1. Saw-scaled Viper (Deadliest in the world)
Although its venom is not very potent, the Saw-Scaled Viper is considered as one of the world’s deadliest snakes as it is believed to be responsible for more human fatalities than all other snakes put together. These snakes have a stout body with a pear-shaped head which is distinct from the neck. Adult Saw-Scaled Vipers range in length from 0.3 to 0.9 metres and they come in shades of brown, grey, or orange with darker dorsal blotches and lateral spots. Unlike most snakes, the Saw-Scaled Viper moves sideways (sidewinding locomotion). They are nocturnal and feed on mammals, birds, other snakes, lizards, amphibians, scorpions and centipedes. They can be found in arid regions and dry savannahs north of the Equator across Africa, India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and the Middle East. Saw-Scaled Vipers are considered to be one of deadliest snakes of the world because they are often found in populated areas and a lack of readily accessible antivenom in rural areas adds to their lethality. So clearly, the potency of the venom has no bearing on the list of world’s deadliest snakes.
Some fun facts about the saw-scaled viper:
Saw-Scaled Vipers can live for up to 23 years.
Up to 80 per cent of these adults climb up bushes and trees when it rains.
In northern regions, they hibernate during winter.
2. King Cobra (World’s Longest Venomous Snake)
In India, the King Cobra is not only revered and worshipped but also feared, as they are one of the most venomous snakes of India. In one bite, a King Cobra delivers a tremendous amount of neurotoxins that induces paralysis. They are so fearsome that they find themselves on almost all lists of world’s deadliest snakes. King Cobra is dark olive or brown in colour with black bands and white and yellow crossbands with cream or pale yellow undersides. A King Cobra measures up to 3 to 4 metres in length and has blackheads with two crossbars near the snout and two behind the eyes. Young cobras are shiny black with narrow yellow bands. King Cobras are found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. The world’s longest venomous snake, a King Cobra’s venom is so strong that it can kill an elephant in just a few hours and can cause death in 50 to 60 per cent of untreated human cases.
Some fun facts about the King Cobra:
King Cobras (Ophiophagus Hannah) are monogamous, which means they mate with only one partner for life.
In the generic name, King Cobra Ophiophagus Hannah, Ophiophagus is derived from Greek and means “snake eater”.
The longest venomous snake, King Cobras have a slow metabolic rate and so, can go for months without food after a large meal.
A single bite from a King Cobra can kill an elephant.
The cobra only spreads its hood when it feels threatened or is disturbed. While most pictures showcase cobras with their hoods fanned, chances are you may spot a cobra without its distinctive hood, so be careful either way.
3. Inland Taipan (Deadliest Venom)
Also known as the “fierce snake”, the Inland Taipan is one of the world’s most venomous snakes. A bite from this variety of Taipan often causes paralysis of the victim’s nervous system and clots the blood. The Inland Taipan, one of three types of Taipans (Coastal, Inland and Central Ranges), is dark tan in colour, ranging from a rich, dark hue to a brownish light-green, depending on the season. This variety of Taipan is found to be smaller than the coastal variety and can grow up to 1.7 metres in length. Although the Inland Taipan is an extremely venomous and dangerous snake, they are usually shy and prefer to escape trouble. They will, however, defend themselves and strike if angered, mishandled or stopped from escaping, earning it a place on the list of the deadliest snakes in the world. The venom of an Inland Taipan consists of taipoxin, a complex mix of neurotoxins, procoagulants, and myotoxins that can hinder breathing, cause haemorrhaging in blood vessels and tissues, and paralyze and damage muscles. Respiratory paralysis can set in anywhere from two to six hours after you are bitten.
Some fun facts about the Inland Taipan:
Inland Taipans’ venom is specially adapted to kill warm-blooded animals.
It is an extremely fast and agile snake and can strike instantly with extreme accuracy.
It is called “fierce snake” for its venom, not its temperament.
They change the colour of their skin for thermoregulation, allowing them to absorb more light in colder months.
4. Blue Krait (Asia’s Most Venomous)
Also known as the Malayan Krait, the Blue Krait is a highly venomous snake of the elapid family. Its venom can paralyze its victim’s muscular system; a truly scary thought that has earned this snake a place on the list of the deadliest snakes in the world. The Blue Krait has a colour pattern of bluish-black crossbands separated by yellowish-white interspaces. They can grow up to lengths of approximately 1.1 metres. These Kraits are generally not aggressive or strongly defensive and tend to bite only when really provoked. While they primarily feed on other snakes, they also eat lizards, mice, frogs and other small animals. Blue Kraits have been found to be primarily nocturnal while hunting and have shown a preference for fields, holes, and sometimes even homes. A Blue Krait’s venom consists of extremely powerful neurotoxins made up of presynaptic and postsynaptic toxins. This mixture is known to directly attack an individual’s ability to speak or think clearly and can paralyze the muscular system. The venom also attacks an individual’s respiratory system, causing suffocation within hours. The bite causes no pain, giving the victim a false reassurance. However, if left untreated, death can come within four hours.
Some fun facts about the Blue Krait:
They are widespread in their regions, but encounters are uncommon.
They prefer the wet season.
Like other Kraits, they hide their heads under the coils of their body when threatened.
5. Black Mamba (Fastest Snake in the World)
The Black Mamba is the second-longest venomous snake after the King Cobra. They are known for their large size, quickness, and extremely potent venom, making them one of the deadliest snakes in the world. The inside of this snake’s mouth is black, hence its name – Black Mamba. They have a coffin-shaped head and can vary in colours from olive, yellowish-brown, khaki and gunmetal but they are rarely black. An average Black Mamba is 2–2.5 metres long, with a maximum length of 4.3 metres. While they have a reputation for being aggressive, Black Mambas are generally found to be shy and nervous. They primarily eat small mammals and birds. While they prefer warm-blooded prey, a black mamba will also feed on other snakes. They can be found in Angola, Botswana, Central African Republic, DR Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Somalia, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. f they are disturbed or cornered, Black Mambas will attack with repeated bites. Their venom is extremely toxic and just two drops are reportedly enough to kill most humans.
Some fun facts about the Black Mamba:
They are some of the world’s fastest snakes and are capable of speeds of more than 12 miles (19 km) per hour and hence will be the one which can kill the fastest.
In the wild, a black mamba can live for up to 11 years. In captivity, they can live for longer than 20 years.
In our everyday life, we study and see that new innovation is arising step by step. The degree of reasoning had changed. Our researchers have made a few exceptional things. Not many of them are identified with our knowledge. Presently we see that programmed machines, robots, satellites and our cell phones all are instances of man-made brainpower.
At all intricate terms, Artificial Intelligence suggests developing the ability to think and grasp and make decisions in a machine. Man-made thinking is seen as the most reformist kind of programming, and it makes a mind where the PC frontal cortex can think like individuals.
What is Artificial Intelligence?
Man-made mental ability (AI) or “man-made thinking” is a piece of computer programming, which is making machines that can think and work like individuals.
Not many models for this are: acknowledgment of sound or voice, issue dealing with and settling, educating, learning and arranging…
Tea might be native to China , but the entire world relishes this beverage . Each country has its unique way of preparing and consuming tea. Here is how tea is consumed around the globe ,
CHINA – China is the country who introduced tea to the world . It is believed that Chinese emperor Shennong when consuming hot water noticed that dried leaf had fell from a plant and his water tasted really good , and that is how tea was discovered . China has a wide variety of tea leaves from which they make their tea.
TAIWAN – People in Taiwan enjoy bubble tea , which is a fairly modern innovation . It is an iced tea served with tapioca pearls . Bubble tea sure has a lot of calories , but it is worth the calorie gain.
Ever since the Taliban has taken control over Afghanistan there is a big threat to the rights of afghan women & girls. Three Afghan women who worked at a media company were gunned down in Jalalabad in early March[1]. In January, unidentified gunmen killed two female Supreme Court judges in Kabul[2]. These are just some of the victims of the long list of assassinations of female activists and political leaders in Afghanistan. These assassinations have increased since the government of Afghanistan established connections with the Taliban.
The period of 1996-2001 when the Taliban ruled the country was the darkest time for afghan women. after Independence from the Taliban in 2001, Afghanistan had grown up a lot in terms of supporting women, educating them, and making them stand up for their feet. We have the famous women activists Sima Samar, Aryana Sayeed, and Roqia Abubakr all of who contributed a lot to the growth of Afghanistan. Today women compose around 27% of the Afghan Parliament, one of the highest rates of women’s political representation in the region[3].
Presently, as the Taliban have taken control over the country once again these women are at a worry for their safety and peace accord with the Taliban extremists. The oppressive rules of the Taliban for women make it their darkest times. Women are not being allowed to appear in the streets without a blood relative or without wearing a burqa, not allowing women’s to wear heels, not allowing women’s to speak or make any sound from their footsteps, depriving the right to education for women, these rules under the Sheria law are just too tyrannical. The fight with the Taliban is not just about women’s rights but about the basic rights that every human being needs which the afghan women are being disadvantaged under the rule of the Taliban. It is a platitude to say that, as the Taliban were expanding their territory in Afghanistan on 15th August 2021 afghan women were facing an uncertain future. On 16th August 2021, this uncertainty was replaced by fear and despair as President Ashraf Ghani fled the country, leaving the country in control of the Taliban[4]. Taliban, coming into power once again would lead to Afghanistan being 200 years back.
Afghan women now find themselves in the untenable position of looking for help from the international community. Today, the whole world is following the turbulent scenario in Afghanistan with a heavy heart and deep disquiet about what lies ahead. There is a need for the global call on this issue. Now is the time to stand as one, it is a call on all the international communities to use all available tools to uphold human rights in Afghanistan.
As discussed, Global
warming is the process of increase in the temperature near the
earth’s surface.
The process has been observed over centuries and has extremely
disturbed the
weather and climatic conditions of the earth.
Has anyone wondered about
how we as people can do little things in order to save our
mother earth? Mentioned below are top 8 solutions to combat
global warming:
1. Use fluorescent bulbs: Use compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs as
such bulbs are
more energy efficient and consume less than 70% as compared to ordinary
bulbs. These
bulbs have a longer life as compared to ordinary bulbs.
2. Adopt Carpooling: Global
warming can also be reduced if you chose to drive less. One can adopt the
option of carpooling or cycling. Both of the methods will keep you fit. Not
only your fuel will be saved but the fumes generated by the largest
contributors that is oil and gasoline would be reduced and it would be a huge
step in reducing energy wastes.
3. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle:Use eco- friendly products and try to reduce small
amount of waste by not buying new products.
Reuse plastic
containers, old newspaper, bottles, cardboard boxes, any yogurt cups, bread
ties, and other items. By doing this you won’t need to buy new products as the
old ones can equally perform the same function well and your expenses would
also be reduced. One can also reuse disposable products in order to preserve
environment.
Recycling
unwanted paper, bottles, tables, furniture, aluminum foils, cans, newspapers
etc. This step would not only reduce landfills but it will also help in
preserving environment. This could also help in reducing global warming.
4. Avoid Overly Packaged Products: Buying overly packaged products would only result in increase in
waste. This is because one generally throws packaging away as a garbage which will
then fill landfill sites with more waste and harm the environment. Thus,
encourage people to not to buy overly packaged products.
5. Plant trees: Contribution
to greenery by planting trees would not only nurture the
environment but it would
act as a major contributor in reduction of global warming.
6. Regular Maintenance of vehicles: When one will
focus on making their vehicles efficient by focusing on its regular repair and maintenance,
the vehicle would emit less carbon dioxide. This would help in reducing global
warming.
7. Install Earth Preservation
Apps: Installing Earth Preservation Apps like Kil-Ur-Watts and
Wiser EMS helps in calculating energy costs. The apps also help in suggesting
ways and providing tools through which one can save energy and money. This
would also help in preserving the environment and help in reducing global warming.
8. Conserve
Water:In a year, hundreds of gallons of water can be saved and
conserved if one chooses to take 5-minute shower instead of baths. Using right
type of shower head will greatly help in conserving energy and would also help
in combating global warming. This is because showers consume less than 25% of water
than baths.
Conclusion
From this article one can conclude that all the
people through their little efforts can
combat global warming, making the mother
earth a better place to live in. The only
thing that we all have to do is to
practice and take one step at a time.
The invention of mobile phones is one of the greatest achievement of humankind. The first mobile phone service was started in Japan in 1979 and within 42 years it has revolutionized the lives of people. Mobile phones usage is growing at a rapid rate, today the world is unimaginable without mobile phones.

“Mobile phones are neither good or bad it depends on the individual how they use “.
Another much needed and the topic to be discussed -the power of meditation. To lead a stable and peaceful life mediation is important. Meditation enhances our ability to understand and think deeper. Meditation involves focusing. It can be anything a thought or an activity but the main aim is to focus on to focus on yourself.
Meditation is a boon for us and is practiced since old times. A tradition which was present yet lost. Meditation is a practice where an individual uses a technique – such as mindfulness, or focusing the mind of a particular object, thought or activity- to train attention and awareness ,to achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state. It can also be called as “healing process ” which relaxes and calms the soul of an individual.
These days, with greater need to reduce stress in the midst of our busy schedules and demanding lives, meditation is increasing in popularity. Although there isn’t a right or wrong way to meditate, it’s important to find a practice that meets your needs and complements your personality. There are several types of meditation. Some of them are – Mindfulness meditation, spiritual meditation, focused meditation, mantra meditation, visualized meditation and movement meditation.
Meditation is proved to be a stress buster in our complicated lives. Where there is pressure everywhere, by the practice of meditation we can achieve inner peace and relaxation of mind. This practice increases our ability to think, understand and remember things for future. It also lowers blood pressure, reduces anxiety, decreases pain, ease of symptoms of depression and improve sleep. It is scientifically proven that meditation is beneficial to an individual.
Today’s article discusses about the evils of terrorism. Terrorism is a world wide problem. A terrorist is a person who tries to create fear and panic among the people to gain his own ends. Their aim is to frighten the people and the government. In order to create panic they explode bombs and spread rumours. Terrorists change their hideouts. Sometimes the hard-core terrorists commit suicide or kill their associates when arrested.
Terrorists are usually young and the old behind them. They coordinate and guide the terrorists activities. Terrorists are extremists who act with great zeal. But they are misguided people who sometimes do not know what they are really acting for. Sometimes terrorists are helped by some foreign agencies in order to create disorder inside the country. In such cases, they are trained in the use of sophisticated weapons. They are also supplied with money and arms by agencies.
Terrorism is threatening peace and security all over the world. Many countries in the world have been hit by the cult of violence. As terrorism is an international problem, we can solve it by with the help of international cooperation. The countries of the world should not allow terrorists activity against another country. Terrorists have no religion and no faith in human values. Their only philosophy is bloodshed for political gains.
The genuine grievance of the people must be redressed and justice should be done to all. Terrorism has crossed borders and he developed into a global issue. We hope we could fight the evils and come back with peace and harmony in the near future. Today’s generation don’t want such sort of fear in their minds and want to lead a stable and happy life. It’s the responsibility of the organizations of WHO, UNSC to maintain peace all over the world.
The tickling of the clock always says about the nearing of the time either away from something or close to something, but the same ticking can also show you the whole timeline graph of the past and future just with the perfect tool in hand.
So to tackle the navigation problem of many light-years from our home earth in the web of space a new technology has been introduced and to name it we call it Deep Space Atomic Clock, a new navigation device which can help us in exploring many untouched parts of the space with quick and precise calculations.
The error percentage of this atomic clock is just 1sec in a span of 100 million years and that’s what makes it the best in the whole of human civilization.
But to know what and why makes it this strong of the contender in the game of at least time calculations we need to know everything about it, so to know it let’s get this reading on with the whoop.
Working
To know any device and its diversity among the unity with another we need to know how does it work.
The working of this clock is based on the time it takes for a resonating frequency of atoms to keep up with the higher and extreme frequency by noticing the time it will take in changing the energy level of the atoms present.
It is the same as when a spacecraft is situated somewhere outside the earth in space we just going the send the radiation or the signal with the speed of the light which can make a two-way journey from the earth to that spacecraft and then we can calculate the distance with speed and the time taken by the wave to return to us.
Now repeat this same process we can locate the whole trajectory of the object with the knowledge of where it is going and from where it might come.
Yes, we get it but the connection between the atom and clock?
The connection, and how the concept explained above could make this atomic watch worthwhile?
If you have the same wondering questions then I guess we need to find the missing dots and try once again to catch the concept.
Our clock uses the quartz crystal to measure the accurate time from our wrist band to the clock on the satellites by counting the number of the vibration they make in the unit of time because the quartz can vibrate at the precise frequency when given the required volt of energy.
The vibration of the quartz shows the lapse of the time but to calculate the exact location of the spacecraft we need something which can count even the zillionth fraction of the time and does producing the error of just 1 sec in the large period.
The clock need for this purpose should be consistent and stable as if measured over the long span of different timelines it should not show any difference.
Conclusion
Nasa has yet again found something which we can use to be more correct about the upcoming threats to the earth and its whole surrounding.
Football world cup will be organized in 2022 in Qatar. When FIFA announced Qatar as host of 2022 world cup, questions started rising on suitability of Qatar as host country. Many media outlets, sports experts and human rights groups criticized FIFA for this decision and even alleged of them being bribed. Former UEFA president was also arrested in 2019 in relation to bribing case.
In addition of bribing scandal there are several reasons why world at Qatar is a disgrace. Let’s discuss them one by one:
Human rights
FILE PHOTO: Soccer Football – World Cup Qualifiers Europe – Group J – Germany v Iceland – MSV-Arena, Duisburg, Germany – March 25, 2021 Germany players pose for a photo displaying a Human Rights message on their t-shirts before the match Pool via REUTERS/Tobias Schwarz/File Photo
Violation of human rights is the biggest criticism of Qatar as world cup host. Treatment of workers hired to build infrastructure like stadium, hotels etc. was miserable. Kafala system left migrant workers vulnerable to systemic abuse. Workers may not change their job or even leave country. They were literally used as slaves in the process of building infrastructure. In 2013, Amnesty international reported serious exploitation of labors.
Due to heavy criticism, Qatar govt. stepped up and promised reforms in labor laws in 2014, But a little progress was made. The Nepalese ambassador to Qatar said that Qatar had become an open jail for migrant workers of south Asia. Companies forced workers to stay and work in poor conditions by denying them promised salaries and withholding worker ID permits. They faced exploitation to extent of modern day slavery. The Guardian did a investigation and found out horrible situations. Labors were forced to live in unsanitary conditions. Workers told the guardian that they were promised higher wages but their contracts were destroyed upon their arrival in Qatar. Some were not paid from months. They described having to beg for food and being beaten. Minimum monthly wage system was announced in 2020 , 10 years after announcement of hosting world cup. But this was also not sufficient to meet needs of workers as standard of living in Qatar is high.
Another problem is legal status of homosexuality in Qatar. Homosexuality is banned in Qatar with offenders facing fines and 7 years of imprisonment. LGBT fans may face problems. Many LGBT activists asked FIFA to cancel world cup but FIFA ensured that everyone will have right to watch the game in stadiums.
Climate
In addition to human rights violation climate is also a major problem as the world cup usually occurs during the northern hemisphere’s summer. Summer in Qatar sometimes become unbearable as temperature reaches 50 degree Celsius. It will affect the performance level of footballers and they will also need longer recovery time. Also lots of money will be required to create infrastructure of stadiums with cooling system
Solution of this problem is winter world world cup which is also a problem itself. World cup can’t be staged in January and February as it will clash with winter Olympics. Staging it in November December is also not feasible as it might clash with Christmas season. The Premier league also raised issues over moving world cup to winter as it will interfere with European domestic leagues and players from all over the world participates in these leagues. Broadcasters also raised voice as clash of world cup with major European leagues will be not profitable for them.
There are also some minor problems like transpiration, ban on use of alcohol in Qatar, huge cost etc. Qatar govt. is also taking some steps but they are not enough. So Qatar as a world cup hosting nation is a disgrace to football.
The surging technologies and digital era has paved the way for many leading developments over several domains like healthcare, agriculture, business, communication, networking, medicine, aviation etc and particularly in education. Gently we were perceiving many evolutions occurring in the educational environment like practical learning with the help of digital platforms, for a better learning experience for students. With the advancement in technologies and digital media many schools & colleges over the world implemented the idea of Educomp (smart classes) in every classroom to make learning effective for students and to enhance their understanding capability and cognition. When everybody of us were gradually moving towards a modern stratum in education to make things easily accessible and feasible for a finer learning environment, the pandemic has pushed us to a devastating state where education has taken a back seat and made learning intricate for students through online classes. The impingement of online learning has made the education dreadful/unpleasant at times. It is a mere exhaustion for students rather than imparting knowledge.
Students became bewildered with the circumstances revolving around them because it was entirely new for everyone, which nobody would have even dreamt of. Yes, indeed the e-learning ie. the online classes was like a silver lining to the dark cloud, because the covid-19 has resulted the schools and universities to shut down all over the world, whereby education has changed drastically and the teaching is undertaken virtually on a digital platform. With students shattered across various domain the online learning has been a key to make sure that the students are engaged with the syllabus. However , the online learning plays a pivotal role in the contemporary situation, its consequences cannot be neglected or ignored . A home cannot provide the ambience that a school creates.
Education is more than a black board and ahead of the school text books as there is much more fascinating activities and qualities associated with the school environment that a student acquires. It is a place where young inventive minds gather together and gain knowledge form one and another as peer learning is very vital in the educational domain. The digital medium can’t make a replica of the interpersonal interactions that the school facilitates by having the young generation together from diverse backgrounds and culture. It has refrained students from gaining practical knowledge. The peer group interaction in an education sphere is very prominent as it promotes very strong soft skills, but unfortunately the retention of all these factors was a great challenge and posed as a bane in the online classes. At home children are not bound to have the classroom professionalism.
In addition the students are exposed to many health issues, which are attributed due to the prolonged screen time, like eyesight problems with constant headaches, mental illness, uneven sleeping, stress due to the home confinement and rising level of anxiety. Classes at home have become like a pass time for students and curtails the concentration on the curriculum. At school, students would have more exploration towards the extra-curricular activities like sports, art which kindles their interests towards various fields. While speaking about the cons of the online classes that students experience, on the other hand the students in the rural area face many obstacles even in accessing the online classes due to the unavailability of smartphones, laptops and some distortions in the mobile network, so they are on a more frightful side.
To a larger extent we always raise opinions from a student’s point of view, the effects of e-learning that impacted a student. But the fact is, the teachers are affected by the same with parity, even they live a similar life as we do. Moreover we could derive to a phrase that, they are the ones who face so many challenges more than students. Initially many of them weren’t aware of how to make use of the digital platform and struggled with it. In fact they become skeptical whether the content delivered had reached all the students or were there any network interruptions midway. It becomes strenuous for the teachers to cope up with the academics in this pandemic. Teachers are also exposed to all the mental pressures and health issues as the students do. Thus the e-learning has impacted both the students and teachers on an equal proportion. People frame this as the new normal but the education system cannot be taken over like the same for many days. So it is very certain that online classes could be a substitute until the situation lets us get to the educational place but could never be a replacement. So let us hope that the pandemic ceases soon utterly and revive back to the classrooms for a better learning experience.
Have we ever thought there will be such a setback on our lives? It is really an unbelievable and unexplainable thing that affected our lives. This COVID-19 affected the whole world mentally as well as physically. The world has gone through so many but this is the most impacted pandemic. This pandemic has led to dramatic loss of human lives and an upredictable health issues and also the world of work. This economic and social distruption caused millions of people to fall into the line of extreme poverty, and the rate of malnourished also increased day by day.
Positive impacts of COVID-19
When we start to see the positive effects of COVID-19, we are running out time in our normal lives and spend very less time with families. This pandemic has paved way for that. Have you ever thought of sitting freely in your home and seeing the blue sky peacefully? No. But due to this pandemic has made that possible. We often get bored while we are at home. Now, we play carrom, chess and many indoor games and teach these 2k kids about these games. There is a high possiblity of addicted to mobile phones and due to the control of parents some may not get addicted. We get to try some new dishes every day so that we won’t get bored in our daily lives. Gardening, family time has become the major positive impacts of COVID-19.
Negative impacts of COVID-19
The first and foremost negative impact of this pandemic is the addiction to gadgets. Furthermore, mobile phone is the most addictive one. Pandemic has also affected knowledge of the students greatly. They find it more difficult to learn it online and enjoys the offline class more. The sadder impact is the students cannot get the knowledge of the subject they sutdy. There is also possiblity of getting sick often due to laziness. Heart attack, obesity, gastric problems, weight gain are very serious factors. Work from home make people very lazy and they are getting back pain, eye problems and so on.
Very happy that we have slightly overcame this pandemic stituation and return to our daily lives. Stay safe and be protective over yourselves.
