Is Ramayana an mere epic on Lord Ram or a lesson for all of us. I think, it is a lesson for me. Why? How? When I read for first time I learnt many things I will be telling 4 of them

Honour Your Word

One of the basic but strong messages given by Ramayana and the life of Lord Rama is rendering value to your own word. No matter what price you need to pay, but honouring your word is equivalent to worshipping the God within you. In Ramayana, King Dasharatha sent his eldest son, Lord Rama on exile to honour the promise he gave to his wife Kaikeyi without knowing that she would make such a demand in a bid to pronounce her son Bharath as the next King of Ayodhya. But a man of principles like Lord Rama didn’t question his father and without any second thought, he left the empire and his princely life to live life like an ordinary man for the next 14 years in forests. We learnt that it is not only our word but are parents too that we need to respect,no mater what hardship we need to suffer.

Pertinence of righteousness

Following the path of dharma, Maryada Purushottam Lord Rama took every step in his life to be truthful and righteous. He left the kingdom of Ayodhya when he was the true successor to the throne just to honour his father’s word. On the quest one of his subjects, he even asked Sita to go through Agni Pariksha (an ordeal of fire) to prove her sanctity. It is said that Lord Rama was in grief to have asked Sita to undergo this terrible test but to protect her respect and to prove her purity in front of his whole kingdom, he had to take this action, which he thought ,was right. We learn that no matter what you need to do always be truthful and righteouss .

Adhere To Your Dharma

The Survanshi dynasty of which Lord Rama belonged was known to give birth to kings of great valour. The event when his subjects objected on Sita’s purity, Lord Rama asked her to leave the kingdom while being disheartened, shows that Lord Rama believed in following his dharma of keeping his subjects happy. He sacrificed his marital life for the sake of his subjects. Though many people won’t consider this right but no matter what, we must train our minds to follow good principles that is advantageous for everyone concerned. We must stop letting our mind dwindle and be biased to situations .

Always follow dharm Be A Gentle and compassionate human being

Being in the mortal form, Lord Rama lived a princely life till he grew up but this king of Suryavanshi clan did not hesitate while eating fruits (ber), which were already tasted by a poor old woman named Shabri. In another instance, when his whole Vanarsena was busy building a bridge towards Lanka, he saw a squirrel putting in his best efforts too. To recognise his immense contribution in finding Sita, Lord Rama picked the tiny being from his hands and gently patted it with compassion. In our life, we too must never discriminate between people or judge them by their looks. Also the cruelty we show towards animals is far away from act of compassion. To conclude.

I would say that ramayan is a manual for human life. It teaches us the way to live and is applicable to everyone whether be a king or a commoner . As it teaches the concept of service leadership. I recommend everyone, to not only read ramayan but to study it, analysed it and understand it.

Surveys show that ninety percent of teens ages 13-17 use social media. Seventy-five percent report having at least one active social media profile, and 51% visiting a social media site at least once daily.

Hi. I’m Reneeka, and today’s topic is all about the ways social media affects teens. 

I hardly think an introduction to social media in today’s online generation would be necessary. It’s simple: 1 out of every four teens is an avid social media user, using at least two different social media each day. 

For folks who don’t have a clue about what social media is, here’s the definition for it. As described by the dictionary, it is a website and application that enables users to create and share content or to participate in social networking. 

It’s a common belief that overrated platforms like TikTok or YouTube are the only examples of social media. In reality, any app that allows you to communicate with others and express yourself is social media. It includes your online school too.

The grasp and dependence on social media of teens far exceed that of many adults. Go figure. Hence, it is crucial to understand how it mentally impacts us. Several health issues develop as a result of too much time spent online.

What makes social media so “attractive”? A study by researchers at the UCLA brain mapping center found a distinct region of our brain becomes activated at the mere prospect of receiving likes. This reward region is particularly sensitive during the teen years, which could explain why teens are attracted to social media. 

Additional studies have established a link between depression and social media. Prolong use of social media may show a sign of depression or low self-esteem. According to a study, people who use more than seven social media platforms have more than three times the risk of depression than people who use two or fewer sites. 

Social networking leads to a deterioration in social activity and an increase in loneliness. You may argue that social media does provide a stage for communication, but you may as well know that humans are social creatures programmed for physical connection.

Social media, in a nutshell, is a fabrication of lies. Unfortunately, what most teens do not realize is that people post their “highlight reel” and usually hide their experiences. It creates a notion of perfectness and pressures teens to have perfect posts or images. Teens who place a priority on social media will often concentrate on showing how much they are having fun, rather than focusing on having fun! 

It takes a lot of time and effort to keep up with the unspoken rules and culture of each social media platform. As a result, this puts additional pressure on teens, which can cause feelings of anxiety. Some studies have found that the larger a teen’s social circle is online, the more feeling of pressure is. 

A study showed that one-fifth of teens “almost always” wake up during the night and log in to social media. It’s a proven fact that sleep is vital for development in children. Consequently, this sleep loss can lead to moodiness, a drop in grades, and overeating, as well as intensify existing problems like depression and anxiety.

While social media can be a fantastic place for keeping in touch with loved ones, it is not the same as face-to-face communication. Under forced circumstances, I’ve been chatting with my friends a lot lately. But if you ask me to do the same, but face-to-face, let say through a virtual meeting, I would fail miserably. 

See? That’s what I’m trying to indicate. Many teens spend so much time online that they forget to talk to the person in front of them! As a result, teens risk having relationships that are not deep or genuine.

So, what’s the solution? You don’t have to quit social media; you will have to learn to use it better! Because so much brain development takes place during the teen years, we mustn’t neglect the impact of social media on us. We have the power of using it, make sure it doesn’t use you!

Thank you!

Intro: United States

The United States doesn’t allow improperly or illegally obtained evidence to be used to convict the accused in its court system and the evidence is excluded without decision or consideration. The Netherlands, on the other hand, is more lenient on how evidence is obtained.

Evidence: Netherlands

Evidence that is obtained in an illegal way isn’t excluded right away. It depends on many factors like to what extent the way of obtaining evidence was illegal. Evidence that was acquired wrongfully can be used in many cases, but it may result in a criminal offense since the way the evidence way obtained was illegal. For example, if the evidence that was obtained illegally proves that the accused is guilty, it will be used in court since it was used lawfully but obtained unlawfully.

Reflection

I think that the laws of evidence for obtaining evidence illegally or improperly in the Netherlands are better than the laws for obtaining evidence illegally in the United States. The Netherlands’ laws are well-balanced and fair in my opinion. This is because it prevents the guilty party from getting released while also not giving the police or accuser who acquired the evidence wrongfully an unfair advantage by not giving any consequences. Furthermore, if the way of obtaining the evidence wasn’t a significant illegal act, the guilty party is given a lighter sentence or some other form of compensation for the improper evidence used to punish them.

I have mixed feelings on the U.S. laws for evidence on obtaining evidence illegally. The laws are good but also bad depending on the situation. Since the evidence that is obtained illegally will be excluded, even if the police or accuser finds evidence that proves the defendant guilty, it will not be used to convict the defendant. More evidence that is obtained legally will be needed to be provided. The laws are good too because then the police cannot harm or torture the accused without consequences.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the laws of evidence of our own country, the United States, and those of the Netherlands are very much different from each other. There are a few laws that are similar like the common laws which almost every country in the world has. I think the Netherlands laws on how evidence is obtained is more well-balanced and fair than those of the United States.

A research-based on the above topic:

In this paper, we’re gonna talk about Europe and what all this small continent caused.

Most of the pandemics in the past had been caused by the diseases originating in Europe. It is no surprise here. More than a billion people have died due to these diseases. Since Europeans have been colonizers in the past, they had spread their diseases to all over the world.​

Let us learn about the diseases spread by this continent:

THE BLACK DEATH

• The Black Death plague which was originally originated in China dominated Europe from 1347 to 1665. ​
• It reached its peak in the years 1346-1356 where estimates place that around 75 million-100 million.​
• Almost one-third of Europe perished.​

SMALL POX AND MEASLES:

• Small Pox and Measles were the diseases that were introduced to the native population of North America brought by the Europeans.​
• It reduce the number of native Americas by as much as 95%, killing 20 million.​
• It was from 1509-1529

CHOLERA:

• The third global cholera pandemic of 1852 – 1866 began on the Ganges River Delta, spreading along trade routes throughout India, and from there to Russia, China, France, England, and the United States. ​
• In 1853–54, an epidemic of cholera broke out in London, where it claimed over 10,000 lives.​

Ever wondered why a small metal coin sinks and a big ship doesn’t?​
​

Oh, it’s all based on the concept of density. And the whole idea of density comes from the concept of the Archimedes principle. It is because of this principle we know why big ships float on the water, and do not sink.​

​So, what is the Archimedes principle?

​Archimedes’ principle, physical law of buoyancy, discovered by the ancient Greek mathematician and inventor Archimedes, stating that any body completely or partially submerged in a fluid (gas or liquid) at rest is acted upon by an upward, or buoyant, force, the magnitude of which is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body.

What is density?​

​Density is a measure of mass per volume. The average density of an object equals its total mass divided by its total volume. An object made from a comparatively dense material (such as iron) will have less volume than an object of equal mass made from some less dense substance (such as water).​

​FLOATATION:​

​When a body of density ρ and volume V is completely immersed in a liquid of density, the following two forces act on the body:​

1. Weight of body, W=Vρg acting vertically through the center of the gravity.​

2. Buoyant force or upward thrust, FB = V*liquid density*g equal to the weight of the liquid displaced, acting vertically upwards through the center of the buoyancy.​

​So, in simple words we can define the Archimedes principle as: when a body is wholly or partially submerged in a liquid, buoyant force acts on it thus reducing the weight of the object which is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced.​

Depending upon these formulas, there are three cases:​

​

1. W > FB , the body will sink to the bottom of the liquid. This happens when the density of solid is greater than the density of the liquid.​

​

2. W < FB , the body will rise above the surface of the liquid to such an extent that the weight of the liquid displaced by the immersed part of the body ( i.e. upward thrust ) becomes equal to the weight of the body. The body will then float. In this case, the density of the body is lesser than the density of the liquid.​

​

3. W = FB , the body is at rest anywhere in the liquid. The body will float if its whole volume is just immersed in the liquid. In this case the density of the body is equal to the density of liquid.​
​
Therefore from the above conditions, we now know why big ships float. This is because of density. The density of the ship is much lesser or equal to that of the water.​

Thank you!

Birthdays come every year but some are more special than others.

My best birthday was at age 7.
It was my best birthday because I got the best toys as surprise presents and the best chocolate cake I had and all my best friends were there.I and my best friends had so much fun, we had the cake and my favourite food:fried chicken.It was the best,I played with all my new toys and had so much fun.It was unforgettable and the best birthday I had.

WE HAD BEEN THERE BEFORE. A time so cruel for us. A time when we endured the torture inflicted upon us. Forced to part away from our identity, freedom and love. But what would be India’s history if Aurangzeb had not issued the farman?

Well for starters, India would have discovered the route to England via the Cape of Good Hope. They probably would have voyagers conducting expeditions to search for new lands to trade. Britain at that time did not that much to sell. India would have taken Britain’s market on storm, because of the spices and variety of natural resources. This would have made India powerful than ever.

During that time, silver was on great demand for creating swords, utensils etc. As India, where silver had not been discovered by that time would probably be exported from Britain. This would be a one-way win for India as Britain would have been heavily dependent on India for almost everything.

This would have caused a vast cultural change among these two countries, predominantly in Britain as India (in this scenario) has more power in Britain. Who knows, maybe Hindi was the official language of Britain or India would have been the most powerful country now?

We have seen the cultural, economic and political changes if India had captured Britain. But what about the conditions in India? Well, India would have been a much powerful country then ever before. It would have great education system, proper housing for its citizen and oh, the monarch concept.

There wouldn’t have been any riots or even protest because India was its own country! There would have been no Swadeshi Movement, Jallianwala Bagh massacre or even Independence!

In a nutshell, India would have been a country of its own will; just ruled by different dynasties. It would have been called the world’s most powerful country. People wouldn’t have to live under the slavery. Oh, I wish this would have had happened!

Once Albert Einstein quoted “The only source of knowledge is experience.” It’s true. So, here am I sharing my experiences under lockdown. Or in simple words; how has the pandemic changed my life.

Let me remind you that, this speech is a middle schooler point of view.

The main change that the pandemic inflicted upon my life is that now I don’t have anyone to socialize too. In this context, I mean to meet and talk to others physically. Right in front of them.

Sure, apps like Zoom and Google Meet do provide us a platform to meet and chat with our relatives and friends. But do not forget that humans are social creatures. It’s our instinct to communicate. After all, this whole world solely depends on communication. I’m now just adjusted to communication virtually.

Though we meet virtually, the idea of meeting people physically is so appealing. I don’t know, but there’s one thing I’ve understood is that I can’t live without physical communication. What about you?

For me, as a student, the biggest change in my life is related to academics. Any guesses, I promise it isn’t too hard.

Yes, you got right. It is indeed online classes.

Online classes in reality are way different than the physical traditional one that we used to attend. School.

All my life, I’d always fantasized about what would it be like if I were to attend online classes instead of schools. I wished to attain the experience of online classes. It always seemed cool to me, but now it doesn’t. Perhaps because I may have gotten bored of it.

First, the lack of physical communication. I strongly believe that learning in a school, in the same room with the teacher and student present is better than that of online school. The reason behind is because you get to engage with your classmates and the teacher can keep a check on you.

You learn much better and quicker than the online classes.

Second, internet issues. They frustrate me. I mean, how are you supposed to learn if your call hangs, or the teacher isn’t audible to you. At least, traditional schools had no disruption.

Last but not the least, in school I had the coordination of mind, eyes and hand but being online I’m losing them all. I’m a bit lethargic while writing.

Besides, there’s one more aspect that I want to bring to the audience we get distracted. When I often study on the laptop which connected to the internet, you frequently get interrupted and get urged by the other medias to search for unrequired information.

This has affected my way of learning.

As any other human, I’m now forced to wear mask, gloves and what not. Because the COVID-19 is thought to spread through contact.  I’m strictly forbidden from going outside, or in other words in lock-down. Not only I miss my previous way of life I detest the pandemic. Its too hard to maintain social distancing, wearing masks etc.

Wearing masks and maintaining social distancing is often now symbolic to a bird within a cage. We all want freedom. It can be in various ways, but for now is to go out safely without any precautions. You could possible call me ignorant and vain, but we all want to free of them, don’t we?

To sum up, I would like to go back to the old ways of my life; more of physical socialising, schools and doubt clearing. In the end, I understand that its impossible to do the above until the vaccine is out!

Thank you.

I’m quite sure that everybody here knows about COVID and all the bad things that come with it. You have to stay home, you can’t shake hands, you have to wear a mask if you want to go outside, you have to frequently wash your hands, people are losing their jobs because of the lockdown, and more! The majority of your time thinking about COVID would be about the bad things from this virus. But there are many good things about it as well! These good things are going to help us in the long-term. In this blog, I’ll focus on the two best things that have come from this pandemic. 

One of the best long-term benefits of this virus is the reduction in pollution. This was probably the most obvious. Traffic from cars, flights, trains, and other forms of transportation has largely reduced. This is in turn has greatly reduced the amount of pollution. In China, for example, it’s estimated that at least 78,000 would’ve died due to pollution. But instead, 4600 people died due to COVID. This is happening in many other places too. Within the first week of lockdown, India’s air pollution has dropped to the lowest it has been in the last 20 years. When my mother went to India in January, the airport runway was barely visible when her plane landed in Dehli. But now, Delhi has clear skies. People in Dehli can now breathe fresh air and have a much lower chance of a variety of diseases that are much more dangerous than COVID.

Another long-term effect of COVID is going to be the digitization of everything. People are starting to see that it is largely possible to do the majority of IT jobs from home. Google, for example, is going to let their workers stay home until July 2021. They might one day conclude that there is no need to go to the office the majority of the time. This going to reduce the amount of pollution(people will be commuting less) and it’s going to save a lot of money. This will in turn allow for Google and other IT companies to allocate less money to office costs and more money for innovation. 

Overall, COVID has done a lot of bad things for everybody around the world. But benefits like this are a nice silver lining to an otherwise terrible situation. 

A few weeks back, I was watching a debate with my family on television. It was about an ongoing disputed case over the death of a famous Bollywood actor. And the debate was toxic; insults were being spewed at each other, people were politicizing the issue and henceforth on. But what disturbed me, was that the anchor was a very biased person. I’m not siding with anyone here, but I believe that a matter has two sides. And as an anchor, it was his responsibility to hear both sides. After reading the comments, I was even more shocked to learn that people sided with a biased view; and here I learned the power of media. How it can truly influence us.

So here am I, Reneeka Kumar, to present my views and to educate the power of media. How can you be influenced by the media?

Before I start discussing my beliefs, primary enlightenment to media is necessary. So, what is the media? Well, your television is the media. Your local newspaper is the media. Even, the internet is the media. In simple words, the media is a means of communication. Now, now, now; you must be wondering: “Reneeka, how possibly in this world, can media influence us?”

Chill, I’m getting there.

Media is a powerful tool that can be used to change our way of thinking, our perception of the world. It’s absurd, and no one’s immune to it. In reality, the people who are “immune” to media are more prone to the influence.

We have two faces of media, in other words, pros and cons. The good and the ugly. Let me start with the positive faction of media, the pro.

The positive effect of media: for starters, it has made the current generation aware of the issues going all around the world. As rightly said by Dave Wallis, “Don’t use social media to impress people; use it to impact people.” And that’s what the media is doing!

On news channels and social networking sites like Twitter and Youtube, you can get to see videos and read interviews about influential people. See videos about the extra-ordinary people who made a positive impact on our society. Those who motivate us to become a better person, a better generation.

You also, learn about the current issues of the world. Poverty, diseases, national security risk, peace, harmful usage of drugs, etc. Because of this, people are now more aware of the world and can do something about it. In a way or another, it’s contributing towards a bright future.

You see, how can media truly impact our views? Influence and make us a better person with an open mind? But, sadly, this doesn’t happen all the time. Remember, media is just a tool. In reality, it is used by people to push their negative propaganda.

This brings us to question and learn about the negative effects of media.
Who here, once in their life, have seen the “Fair and Lovely”? For those who don’t know, this advert teaches us the so-called superiority of “fair skin”. That you’re nothing without a fair skin, kyunki chitta gora he sabse accha hein! This negatively corrupts our minds, and actively promotes racism! There are more adverts like these that contribute towards discrimination and hatred. To note: as of date, backlash and criticism have forced the company to change the company’s name. It’s now, “Glow and Lovely”.

The media plays an important role in informing us about the latest news. But, the news we see, to what extent is true and biased? Most of the time, the media provides us a piece of biased news and only lets us know, about one side! One that will increase more views! In this way, people are not truly educated and this, once again, leads to hate and violence.

In a nutshell, the media influences you, your thoughts, and your actions. Media plays an active part in shaping your personality, your character.
You must have heard, “You are what you eat.” Well, I say, that you are what you see.

We can’t expect to see any changes to the functioning of media any time soon, so, as a responsible human being, it is your duty to take the responsibility of the media you see or do.

So, the next time when you see the video of a Karen refusing to wear a mask because “things gotta breathe”, don’t just don’t idolized her.

Thank you!

Kobe Bryant was born in Philadelphia to Joe Bryant and Pamela Cox Bryant and had two elder sisters named Sharla and Shaya. He fell in love with basketball “from the moment he started rolling his dad’s tube socks and shooting imaginary game-winning shots.” From an early age, Bryant played basketball and football and was a fan of the basketball team ‘Los Angeles Lakers’ and the football team ‘AC Milan.’ He played basketball at Lower Merion High School and won them a state championship after 53 years. Bryant was named Pennsylvania Player of the Year and got attention from college recruiters in the process.
Bryant wrote the poem “Dear Basketball” in 2015 and narrated a short film of the poem two years later. His work won an Academy Award for the best animated short film and in 2018 Bryant published the book The Mamba Mentality: How I Play which explained his approach to basketball and the nickname he put upon himself when he played, “The Black Mamba.” Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna Bryant were among a group of nine people going to a girls basketball game in a helicopter when it crashed into a hillside, killing all the people aboard. Over the course of his lifetime, Kobe Bryant had a major impact on the people around him. He didn’t just win everyone’s hearts by playing basketball, but all the other smaller things too. Kobe Bryant was a legend.

Net neutrality is something about which you may not know. But it is of utmost importance in the age of the internet. In this blog post, I will explain to you what net neutrality is, why it is so important, and ways that it is being jeopardized.  

First of all, what is net neutrality? Net neutrality is a law that prohibits internet service providers such as Verizon and Jio from discriminating on internet traffic. This essentially means that they have to treat all internet traffic equally. They can’t deliberately slow down some traffic or speed up other traffic. For example, if Amazon bribed Verizon into slowing down the traffic from all of the other online shops, this would be illegal and they would be punished. Conversely, if Verizon slowed down the traffic from Amazon and tried to blackmail them into paying money, Amazon could take Verizon to court and win easily. 

Why is this important to the average consumer like you and me? This is important because the user experience of some sites could deteriorate quite a lot if the service providers try anything like that. For example, back in December of 2013 people who used Comcast experienced a sharp drop in quality of the streaming from Netflix. The video quality was about half as good as before, and the videos were buffering much more than before. Users of Netflix and Comcast suffered from this for two months before Netflix and Comcast struck a deal. This is luckily not that common, but imagine what would happen if they tried to do something like this to something much more popular like YouTube or Google. Things like this only will make the internet worse for everyone as it undermines the fact that the internet was made for people to communicate and view content as they wish, consumers shouldn’t have to suffer like this just because their internet service provider(which they already pay for) wants even more money. Not to mention the fact that this by principle ruins the purpose of the internet(to freely communicate). 

How is net neutrality be being jeopardized? This is mainly in the US, but the US has a large influence over the rest of the world and is the third-largest consumer of the internet behind India and China. In 2017, President Donald Trump appointed Ajit Pai to be the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission(FCC). This is the Commission that enforces and passes laws that regulates everything internet-related in the US. He is firmly anti-net-neutrality and rolled back a lot of the regulations that were created to ensure net-neutrality.   As of right now, the FCC no longer enforces this law and it is up to the individual states to do so. To make this even worse, many countries follow the US a lot in these situations, so this could really affect many, many people.

I hope you have a good understanding of this issue now. 

  
 Ganesh Chaturthi , also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi (Vinayak Chaturthi), is a Hindu festival celebrating the arrival of Ganesh to earth from Kailash Parvat with his mother Goddess Parvati/Gauri. The festival is marked with the installation of Ganesh clay idols privately in homes, or publicly on elaborate pandals (temporary stages). Observations include chanting of Vedic hymns and Hindu texts such as, prayers and vrat (fasting).[3] Offerings and prasad from the daily prayers,  that  are distributed from the pandal to the community, include sweets such as modak as it is believed to be a favourite of Lord Ganesh. The festival ends on the tenth day after start, when the idol is carried in a public procession with music and group chanting, then immersed in a nearby body of water such as a river or sea. In Mumbai alone, around 150,000 statues are immersed annually. Thereafter the clay idol dissolves and Ganesh is believed to return to Mount Kailash to Parvati and Shiva. The festival celebrates Lord Ganesh as the God of New Beginnings and the Remover of Obstacles as well as the god of wisdom and intelligence and is observed throughout India, especially in the states such as Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Telangana, Odisha, West Bengal, Gujarat and Chhattisgarh, and is usually celebrated privately at home in Tamil Nadu. Ganesh Chaturthi is also observed in Nepal and by the Hindu people elsewhere such as in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname, other parts of the Caribbean, Fiji, Mauritius, South Africa[12] United States, and Europe. In the Gregorian calendar Ganesh Chaturthi falls between 22 August and 20 September every year. 
 At public venues, along with the reading of texts and group feasting, athletic and martial arts competitions are also held.[15]
 I like GaneshChaturthi as there are a lot of sweets offered to ganesha and other people, every year there is a function in our apartment with lots of fun and devotion by everyone serving Ganesha. He generally stays here for 3 days after which a group of people go for visarjan to nearby lake. Ganesh Chaturthi is generally on week days because of which we also get 2-3 days  of holiday. 
 
 
 
 
 
 

when you get up in the morning the clean fresh air washes out your sleep. Where as in the night when you go out you just can’t breathe .it is all because of pollution. If I had to define pollution I would say

 Pollution is something introduced into nature that is dirty unclean or has a harmful effect. Toxic waste dumped into water is an example of pollution. It refers to the chemical substances into the environment that is injurious for human, animals and plant life. The water, air noise and other forms of pollution is one terminology is known as the pollution of echo system.
 There are many types of pollution, that are water , visual , thermal , plastic , noise , light and air
 The measures of noise pollution are
 Normal conversation level- 40 – 60 db
 Health hazard- more than 80 db is safe
 If someone just comes and shouts in your ears whaaaa you would become Heebie - jeebies Heebie-jeebies
 These unusual words are used to express a feeling of fear and being uncomfortable
 Few examples are
 Heavy traffic – 90 db
 Sound of aircraft engine – 100 – 200 db
 Now imagine your house being just next to the airport, in midnight when the flight takes off how would it feel and so people don’t generally like to stay near airport. 
 The level of air quality is
 Good 0 – 50 no risk
 Moderate 51 -100 acceptable

Since the lockdown kicked off, I could not go out and was getting very bored .

So, we decided to go out to places less visited. We chose places of natural beauty which wasn’t far away as we had to come back in evening.  We wanted to avoid crowded place and to maintain social distancing. We planned basic precautions like wearing mask, carrying sanitizer. We carried even food and tea from home so as to avoid contacts.

We chose the places which, we assumed, no one else would. If that would be the case, we were to find out.

Planning

5 families planned for the trip. But 2 families dropped out for different reasons, leaving 3 families in the plan.

On the D-day, 1 car tire got punctured and Ankit Uncle was left stranded in Indiranagar. At the end, 2 families went for picnic – Amar Uncle’s and ours.

The first stop – Big Banyan Tree

Imagine a tree,450 years old and spread over almost 3 acres of land – size equivalent to almost 2.5 football fields. It’s a nature’s wonder and also boasts of  open space to run, play and have fun. The tree has so many secondary branches of the tree that no one knows where the primary root is. The tree has many branches which 100 of monkeys have made their habitat. It was fun to watch those monkeys jumping on and off the branches of the gigantic tree.

. 
Alas, to our disappointment, the entrance to the tree park was closed – thanks to COVID-19. Nonetheless, again thanks to the same covid-19, the adjoining restaurant was closed too. The restaurant has lot of open space and the provides a comprehensive view of the tree. We stood there for some time, took snaps and enjoyed the monkey business. The most adoring was the way mummy monkey was taking care of baby monkey.

Off to second pit stop

Having been disappointed by closure of the banyan tree, we decided to go to  Savandurga. Savandurga is  a hill 60 km west of Bangalore off the Magadi road. The hill is considered to be among the largest monolith hills in Asia. The hill rises to 1226 m above mean sea level and forms a part of the Deccan plateau.

Half way through to the monolith, we saw many cars parked on roadside. There was a small hillock nearby. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocius could be the term to describe the view. There was a dam nearby, river all over the place with lots of greenery and hills to rejoice the mind. Seeing the scenery, we decided to stay for a while, so we sat down and had tea, the tea was made tastier by the view we saw. Having enjoying the view for some time, we decided to move on to savandurga.

SAVANDURGA is a monolith approx.50 km away from Bangalore. It was huge. A monolith enough to exhaust a person trekking the wrong way in a min. With my dad I made a plan to go trekking there the coming weekend.

RAMNAGAR made famous by name RAMGAD in Sholay movie was our next destination. Against our expectations, there were many people visiting the place, we roamed and saw few places, sitting there we had our lunch, played football and cricket. The sun was moving towards west, sky turning light blue when we started back to home. We reached around 6.  Believe me this was an amazing trip. You people too should go

I want tell you about one of my favorite countries which is called the land of the rising sun aka Japan.

I like japan because it is a safe and disciplined country. It is the most futuristic country in the world. They have the best seafood also. They also have awesome robots too. Their culture is also very fascinating. As you all know,Japan is a island on the pacific coast near the Korean peninsula and some islands connect to Russia. They are famous for Sushi and Ramen. It’s capital is Tokyo. Some other important cities are Osaka and Kyoto. Did you know that Pacman and Mario were made in Japan? These are fun games to play.

Japanese culture is one of mutual respect and traditional values.

Everyone has missed your best friend including me. During this lock down we get bored without our friends especially our best friend. My best friend is Pransukh Daniel. He and I will enjoy a lot in school like, making fun of everyone, playing, fighting and throwing paper balls at each other. We also tell our dreams or nightmares to each other, which sometimes tells our future. It happened that Pransukh told my future after listening my dream. My dream was, I was playing with Pransukh and an undiscovered creature came which when it bites anyone in 48 hours or on the 48th hour fire comes out of our head which leads us to blasting our head in 10 minutes. The creature bit me and Pransukh mixed all the medicines he had with him and told me to drink it, I asked what it is, he told me that it is a cure for the bite. I believed in him and drank the medicine, surprisingly it worked! He listened my dream and told some insect will bite me and fire will come on my hair. That day our class teacher asked us to bring match sticks and a glass. We all bought match sticks and I lit the stick as teacher told and she told to take some of the candles kept in the classroom. I did as the teacher told and the table was very small for me, I kept the stick holding in front of my head and I lit the candle and I bent to take my glass, that time the stick touched my hair and fire was burning in my head. One of my friend took the fire extinguisher and splashed carbon- di- oxide and the full classroom was filled with the gas, the dream came true.

The best thing about friend is that they always give support and some facts about them are:
They are like siblings to us
They always help us
They sacrifice themselves

Thank You

My dad always said that everyone should value things because they teach us something new when we handle it for the first time. It happened to me also like, when I was playing guitar and using badminton racket for the first time. For guitar, when I played it, I was shocked because, when I saw it when I was small, I didn’t like it very much, but now everyone is appreciating me. When I was using badminton racket in the court for the first time, I was very weak at playing, but now I can play many tournaments in the court and won some of them.

Some people also do “Ayuda Pooja” Ayuda means thing and Pooja means praying. They do this prayer because they value their things and pray because it should last for a long time. We should value things because they will give you the name and the fame, when we do not value things they will break and you will not get anything.

The important subject in learning is math because if we don’t learn math then if we go to a shop and for the item you want is a bed the cost of it is 10,000$ and you don’t know to add, divide,and subtract and multiply. then if the shopkeeper will take the money even more, then it’s cheating no that’s why you should always learn. you should learn also other subjects like Environmental science,computer science,english,social science and etc. and don’t forget to get 100/100 in all subjects and and to get 1st rank in the exam.

Thanks

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty’s glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this is if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare. 

Yoga comes from the Sanskrit word, ‘YUJ’. It means to join, connect, or unite. It is the union of individual consciousness with universal consciousness. Yoga is 5000 years old Indian philosophy. It was first mentioned in the oldest sacred text – The Rig Veda (Vedas were a collection of texts containing mantras, spiritual information, songs and rituals to be used by Brahmins, the Vedic priests.

Yoga is being practiced in Indian society for thousands of years. A person doing yoga will move from one posture to the other called Asana. Yoga benefits people who practice it regularly.

The form of exercises performed in Yoga is called ‘Asana’ which is capable of bringing about the stability of body and mind. Yoga Asana is the simplest and easiest way to reduce our excess weight and keep fit.

ORIGIN OF YOGA

Yoga originated in ancient India thousands of years ago, long before the first religion or belief system was born. It is believed that Shiva is the first Yogi or Adiyogi and the first guru. Thousands of years ago, on the banks of Lake Kantisarovar in the Himalayas, Adiyogi shared his knowledge into legendary seven sages as it was hard to put all his wisdom and knowledge in one person. The sages took this powerful yogic science to various parts of the world, including Asia, North Africa, the Middle East, and South America. India is blessed to have found the yogic system in its fullest expression.

The fossil remains of Indus-Saraswati civilization are evidence of the presence of Yoga in ancient India. This presence finds a mention in folk traditions. It is included in the Indus valley civilization, Buddhist and Jain traditions. According to the studies, Yoga was being practiced under the direct guidance of a Guru and its spiritual value was given a lot of importance. Sun was given the highest importance during the Vedic period and that’s how Suryanamaskar was invented later on.

However, Maharishi Patanjali is known as the father of Modern Yoga. He did not invent Yoga as it was already there in various forms. He assimilated it into the system. He saw that it was getting quite complex for anyone to understand it in any meaningful way. So he assimilated and included all aspects into a certain format – Yoga Sutras.

The role of breath is very important in the practice of Asana or Yoga positions. Breath is a vital force and our body requirement of oxygen changes depending on our actions. If we exercise then we require more oxygen hence the breathing becomes faster and if we are relaxing then our breathing becomes relaxed and deep. In yoga, the focus is integrated on the breath while indulging in slow movements as well as while doing complete Asana. Yoga promotes smooth and relaxed inhalation and exhalation during the practice.

Conclusion

Yoga is only partially understood as being limited to Asana. But people fail to realize the immense benefits yoga offers in uniting the body, mind, and breath. Yoga can be opted and practiced by any age group and any body size. It is possible for anyone to start. The size and the fitness level don’t matter as there are modifications for every yoga asana according to different people.

Money is all about being self-dependent – Money makes you self-dependent which means that you are no more dependent on anyone but can fulfill your life’s desires on your own. With the help of money, you can buy anything you like and need not ask others for it. So you can say that money gives you the power to be self-dependent and there is no better feeling than this.
No financial problem – Money gives you the ability to put an end to your financial problems but this is only possible if you manage it in the right way. Even with less salary you can make out the most of your investments and have a stable life. Many people earn a lot of salaries but are in debt because of the mismanagement that leads to numerous problems. So make sure there is a perfect management of your finances which keeps you stress-free.
Live life to the fullest – The real joys of life come with money. Like, you can go on a vacation only if you have money. If you wish to live a lavish like you require money for it. So to live your life to the fullest you need money so that you can get everything that you are looking for. The luxuries of life can easily be purchased with the money thus enabling you to live a happy lifestyle.
Free to take your decisions – As already discussed above, money gives you power which means that you are free to make your choices and make the decisions that are best for you. One need not depend on anyone or feel any pressure as it is your life and you have the right to do what you want to. Thus you can take decisions easily no matter what the situation is.
You can offer a better life to your family – If you want your family to be happy, money is something that you will need the most. Apart from the basic requirements of food and clothes, you need to pay the fee of your children, take them to new places, buy computers, etc. All this is only possible if you have money and by fulfilling the needs of your family you can bring a smile on their face. You wouldn’t like to see their sad faces and will try your best to meet their requirements.
Help others in times of need– If you have the money you can help others you need it. There are many times when your friends and relatives would go through a crisis and may need your financial help. In this case, you can easily lend money and help them to combat the difficult times. You can give money to a charitable trust as well where your money is used in the proper way to help other people. Though it is entirely your choice and decision to give money if you have, one can always help others. From the above facts, you can say that money gives you the right to do a lot of things and that is why it is necessary to have the right amount. But the problem is that people run after money. Even the wealthiest person will want more and will try ways to make money. No one is satisfied with what they have and hence most of their time is wasted in thinking about how to increase the money. They forget to enjoy their life and just focus on how to get money. So do explore ways to make money but also enjoy your life and give time to your family.

Nature is the natural environment that surrounds us, cares us, and nourishes us every moment. It provides us a protective layer around us to prevent the damages. We are not able to survive on the earth without nature like air, land, water, fire, and sky. Nature includes everything around us like plants, animals, rivers, forests, rain, lake, birds, sea, thunder, sun, moon, weather, atmosphere, mountain, desserts, hills, ice, etc. Every form of nature is very powerful which can nourish as well as destroy us.
Now a day, everyone has less time to enjoy nature. In the increasing crowd, we forgot to enjoy nature and improve health. We started using technological instruments for our health fitness. However, nature indeed has the power to nourish us and fit us forever. Most of the writers have described the real beauty and advantage of nature in their writings. Nature can make our mind tension free and cure our diseases. Because of technological advancement in the life of human beings, our nature is declining gradually which needs a high level of awareness to keep it in balance and to conserve natural assets.
God has created everything very beautifully seeing which our eyes can never be tired. But we forgot that we too have some responsibility towards our nature to the relationship between nature and human beings. How beautiful scenery it looks in the morning with sunrise, songs of birds, sounds of lakes, rivers, air and happy gatherings of friends in the evening in the garden after a long day of crush. But we forgot to enjoy the beauty of nature in just fulfilling our duties towards our families.
Sometimes during our holidays, we spend our whole day watching TV, reading newspapers, playing indoor games or on the computer but we forgot that outside the door we can do something interesting in the lap of nature ad the natural environment. Unnecessarily we left on all the lights of home, we use electricity without need which ultimately increases the heat in the environment called global warming. Our other activities like cutting trees and forests increase the amount of CO2 gas in the environment causing the greenhouse effect and global warming.
If we want to be happy and healthy always we should try our best to save our planet and its beautiful nature by stopping our foolish and selfish activities. To keep the ecosystem in balance, we should not cut trees, forests, practice energy and water conservation, and many more. Ultimately we are the real user of nature so we should take care of it.

Trees are beautiful and useful gifts of nature. Trees are great friends of men. Trees give us flowers, fruits, timber, bamboo, fuels, etc. We can rest under the cool shade of a tree. We get wood from the trees to make furniture, doors, windows, etc.
Trees are also a great source of materials for paper, rubber, gums, herbs, and medicine plants. Forest brings clouds and causes rainfall. Trees prevent soil erosion. They protect us from severe weather.
Importance of Trees: Trees are a part and parcel of earthly life. All life directly or indirectly owes its existence to them.
Trees release oxygen which we need for our life. They also absorb carbon dioxide.Trees are the natural habitat of many animals and birds. Trees help make the land fertile. We get good crops out of fertile land. They are sources of fruits and flowers. They offer us cool shade during summer. During the rainy season, we take shelter under the trees. Trees and plants are the sources of many supply life-saving drugs. They prevent land erosion and guard us against pollution. Thus, trees keep up the ecological balance. Trees protect us from inclement wind also.
Conclusion: Thus, trees play an important role in our life. Felling of trees disturbs the eco-system. We should preserve trees and plants with great care.
