Participating in an internship as a writer can offer numerous benefits that contribute to both personal and professional growth. Here are some key advantages of undertaking an internship for writers:

  1. Real-world Experience: Internships provide hands-on, practical experience in a professional writing environment. This exposure helps writers apply their theoretical knowledge to real-world situations, gaining a better understanding of industry practices.

  2. Networking Opportunities: Internships allow writers to connect with professionals in the field. Building a network of contacts can open doors to future job opportunities, collaborations, and mentorship.

  3. Skill Development: Internships provide a platform to enhance writing skills. Writers can learn new techniques, styles, and formats while receiving constructive feedback from experienced mentors, helping them refine and improve their craft.

  4. Industry Insights: Internships offer a firsthand look into the workings of the writing industry. This exposure helps writers understand market trends, audience preferences, and the overall dynamics of the field.

  5. Portfolio Enhancement: Internship experiences can be valuable additions to a writer’s portfolio. The work completed during the internship, along with any positive feedback or outcomes, can serve as tangible evidence of one’s capabilities to potential employers or clients.

  6. Professionalism: Internships teach writers about the importance of professionalism in the workplace. Learning how to meet deadlines, communicate effectively with team members, and navigate office dynamics contributes to the development of a strong work ethic.

  7. Increased Confidence: Successfully completing an internship can boost a writer’s confidence. It validates their skills and prepares them for the challenges of a professional writing career, helping to overcome any self-doubt.

  8. Resume Building: Internships provide valuable content for a writer’s resume. Having relevant work experience, especially in a professional setting, makes a candidate more attractive to potential employers.

  9. Exploration of Specializations: Writers often have the opportunity to explore different niches or specializations within the field during internships. This exploration can help them identify areas of interest and focus for their future careers.

  10. References and Recommendations: Establishing positive relationships with supervisors and colleagues during an internship can lead to strong professional references and recommendations, which can be crucial when seeking future employment opportunities.

  11. Adaptability: Working in a professional environment teaches writers to be adaptable and flexible. They learn to navigate different writing styles, projects, and expectations, preparing them for a diverse range of assignments in their future careers.

Overall, an internship provides a valuable bridge between academic learning and the demands of the professional writing world, offering a holistic learning experience for aspiring writers.

Speech on Dowry

                          

My favorite subject has always been English speaking and writing, so why not share it with you all?

So, “Dowry” is our first topic.

    

“I left my home, I left my parents, but it wasn’t worth’

they didn’t want me, they just wanted diamonds.”

The phrase I started with isn’t really a quote, but more a vision of a girl who has left everything for a new family, but they aren’t happy with her, they are happy with the dowry she brought with her. Isn’t this heartbreaking? But do any of us here even understand what dowry is exactly?

People believe that dowry is just money given by a bride’s family to a groom’s family at marriage, however, this is not the case.  

Dowry is a sum of money, property, or any other thing given by the bride’s family to the groom’s family at the time of marriage, but is there ever a limit to greed? Never, even after marriage, many women are tortured or physically abused as a result of it.

But when such a thing started, does it have any end? We are filled up with such questions.

It is an ancient custom and it continues to be expected and demanded as a condition to accept a marriage proposal in some parts of the world.


In Hindi, we call it Dahej or Dahej pratha it is followed in India for a very long time even before the British period. The thought behind this pratha is to ensure that the daughter is financially stable and well treated after her marriage but its a nightmare for many of the women out there, parents who can’t afford the demands of the groom and his family, and sometimes they have to take the marriage loans to get their daughter married. Sometimes the demands of the family get too much that marriages are canceled and such things leave their scar on the women and their families. 

The dowry system is essentially a manifestation of Indian society’s patriarchal structure, in which males are regarded as superior to women in terms of physical and mental qualities. With such a cultural system in place, women are frequently regarded as second-class citizens, only fit for household duties. Such beliefs are frequently linked to them being considered as a financial burden by their father and then by their husband. The dowry system, which feeds the perception that a girl child is a potential burden on family income, worsens this attitude. 

“I live in a society where giving and taking dowry is a pride.”

In our country, dowry is frequently used to demonstrate social status. The amount of money spent on a daughter’s wedding or the amount of gold given to them is frequently used to determine one’s social worth. This viewpoint strongly supports the practice of dowry demands. The boy’s family rises in social status as a result of the dowry their new bride brings in, which is a measure of his wealth.

Dowry was very popular in India, in ancient times. It’s not the case now though, but it isn’t finished even. It is even practiced in many parts of the country now also.


Do you know, how it changed over a period of time? What makes it a change? 


Everything over time has played its role and changed it, but we the youth were the most to make it possible. 


“It takes 2 hands to clap.” You won’t give, they won’t take.


Nowadays, the groom’s family does not even consider dowry, they just care about the girl. Also, from bride’s family, they just deny it directly if they are asked for it. But such families are still in small numbers. 

Moreover, females have become so independent and blunt they don’t want to marry a person who even thinks about it. 

But where we played the role? 

We played and have to play an important role until such practices get abolished. We need to educate everyone, that a life of girls matters, those materialistic things, money, or property are worthless over a female. 

We not only even need to educate people but also to stop such practices if we see them being practiced and just report them as the law is there.  


Several laws have been passed to prevent the practice of dowry and the discrimination it causes against women. The Dowry Prohibition Act was passed on May 20, 1961, to eliminate this heinous practice from society. Not only does the statute make it illegal to accept dowry, but it also makes it illegal to provide it. Property, valued security, such as cash and jewelry, are among the items that are exchanged during the marriage. Making dowry demands is punishable by a minimum of 5 years in prison and a fine of 15,000 rupees. Sections 498A of the Indian Penal Code and Section 198A of the Criminal Procedure Code deal with acts of cruelty committed by the husband or his relatives against the wife. The addition of Section 113A to the Indian Evidence Act allows the bride’s family to accuse the husband’s family of aiding and abetting the suicide of their daughter within seven years of the marriage. 


The government and people have always shown support for a social cause and we do need to too. Let’s just abolish it until a girl says

“I left my family, I left my parents, yes it was worth it

they wanted me, not the diamonds.”


The Ultimate Resume Master Guide


Maybe you really like the feeling of money in your pocket or you want to gain the relevant experience needed to achieve your dream of becoming a Fortune 500 Company CEO. Either way, you need to dust off that old resume or create a fresh one. After all, how can you tell future employers about all of your impressive skills without that all-important document? Sort of like your Facebook (except more professional), a resume gives potential employers a quick snapshot of your experience.

Important? Yes. Scary? Definitely. For the newbies, how do you create the perfect resume without crashing and burning faster than someone running on two hours of sleep and six Redbulls?

RESUME BREAKDOWN

1. The Essentials


 Without your name and contact info, your resume is only a list of impressive accomplishments. Don’t forget to include your email address (the one you actually check), phone number, and street address. Place this at the top so it’s the first thing they see.

2. Education


You’ll want to list your school, using its full name, your graduation date, your major, any minors, relevant coursework and awards/scholarships (if you have them). As for your GPA, only include that if it’ll blow their minds. In other words, if you cringe looking at your GPA, then keep it to yourself.

3. Experience


Pro tip: List only the most impressive and relevant points in reverse chronological order, including the location and the time period you worked there. While looking at a stack of resumes, your potential employer’s short attention span needs a reason to keep reading. If you’re applying for a marketing position, don’t bother including high school goalie, but make sure to list last year’s business internship. Don’t forget to write out a job description and acquired skills for each position to show how your previous experience will translate to the job you’re about to land.

4. Organizations


You know all those clubs that take up so much time? Here’s when they come in handy. List anything from sports teams to Greek life to honour societies, especially if you held a leadership position.

5. Skills



Use this section for any relevant skills for the job. Include your WordPress and Adobe premiere pro expertise, but leave out Microsoft Word since most people know how to use it.

Some of the obvious questions which would bother you while making your resume:-

Q1) SHOULD I INCLUDE MY LIFE STORY IN MY RESUME?

Absolutely not—only include anything relevant to the position you want. If you hope to land a writing internship, definitely mention your editor experience at your school’s paper. If you’re applying for a position at your school’s biology lab, nobody cares about your part-time barista experience.

Q2) HOW CAN I BEEF UP MY RESUME?

Do you need the experience to put on your resume to find jobs so you can get experience…sound familiar? If your professional experience equals zero, then volunteer experience, part-time jobs and internships come in handy. Keep in mind that part-time jobs may feel like a waste of time since you’re not gunning to become a fast-food server for the rest of your life, but the skills you gain (like time management) actually attract employers like college students flock to free food.

Q3) HOW DO I FORMAT MY RESUME?

Avoid fancy fonts and stick to a simple one that’s easy to read. Your contact info goes at the top, in a slightly larger font (think size 14–16 or so), while the body follows your typical font size of 12. You want to include a second page only if you can fill that entire page. Otherwise, cut down your resume to one page. A longer resume doesn’t necessarily look better, so don’t include fluff to make yourself seem more impressive. Your English teacher never appreciated long run-on sentences included only to meet the page requirement (curse those 10-page papers), and your employer feels the same way too.

If you’ll keep all these things in mind then your resume will definitely leave a good impression on your employer.

PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN..AND ENJOY LIFE AS IT IS SHORT..( POEMS ) BY ME..

                                PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN

                                                                   -ANGELIN DIANA.G 

                 

                                                       

 

We are the people of power 

 And we rise up to a tower 

We belong to one brand

Moving hand in hand

We are still standing 

On our own understanding 

We do follow different trends 

But we are all good friends 

We always share 

Because we care 

We are from different stations 

But belong to one nation 

For our failures, we don’t cry 

But we always make a try 

We have no fear 

Because we are crystal clear 

We are happy citizens 

We are Indian citizens 

                                          

                                             

                             ENJOY LIFE AS IT IS SHORT 

                                                                                                 – ANGELIN DIANA. G

A Cupful of Coffee

And Mindful of Thoughts..

Sweet dreams for the nights 

And Cool creams for the teeth at mornings..

Frozen breeze for Shivering 

And hot sun for Sweating..

We achieve in dreams 

And we arrange in life..

Caring for others in life

And daring for our self..

Crying for the failures 

But trying for the next..

Life full of up and downs 

But thrill of lessons…..

KEEP SMILING ALWAYS ☺☺..
