BLACK LIVES MATTER? This is a question which is still relevant and is being asked. In 21 century people still hold a opinion about you, whether you’re a CRIMINAL or not based on your COLOR. The recent tragic death of George Floyd by police officer is a cause of worry. The movement BLACK LIVES MATTER that started in  2013, began with the use of the hashtag  #BlackLivesMatter on digital platforms  after the acquittal  of George Zimmerman  in the death  of African-American teen Trayvon Martin  in February 2012 and then been continued . But the recent intensification of the protests all around the world and especially in New York, USA is the result of the accumulation of injustice and suffering that the native African-Americans have been subjected since the abolition of slavery.  The forefathers of American Revolution fought together to abolish this unholy practice of subjugating one person to another on basis of color.

The theme for this year International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking is “Better Knowledge for Better Care”.   So, having a better knowledge of the problem can help people cure, and give better care for the person in need. The day, 26 June, is observed all around the world as   International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. The date was chosen to remember Lin Zexu’s dismantling of the opium trade in Humen, Guangdong before the First Opium War in China. UNODC (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime) released the World Drug Report 2017, stating that about a quarter of a billion people used drugs at least once in 2015. According to the UNODC, 200 million people are using illicit drugs and thus, UNODC has been launching campaigns to raise awareness about drug control. According to the National Crime Records Bureau, there were 3,647 such suicide cases in India in 2014, of which Maharashtra reported the highest, at 1,372. This was followed by Tami...

Love takes a toll, friendship takes a stroll! friendship takes a sTroll. It might be ironic but love takes a toll on your life even when it does not want to. There are so many constraints to being together with the person you want. Either it is family or societal issues, ego or personal problems, love seldom has an easy path. Friendship, however, is more carefree. Your family would not generally have a problem with your best friends if they are the right people. Friendship even pervades such illogical pursuits of class and status, name and fame to score over sometimes nauseatic love. Friendship is liberal; love, not so much  friendship is liberal You become friends with someone because you guys resonate with some understanding. Naturally, you don’t even need to explain yourself to your besties, they know more than enough about you to have you sorted. Love though has to build up the understanding. As something not very innate, you find lovemaking a clear diversion from logic when di...

  The main reason behind all the diseases is the distress which we go in our daily life. As the doctors recommend that laughter is the best medicine, as it helps us to relieve our mental distress. It is widely known fact that diseases are caused due to the accumulation of stress. In todays hectic and busy schedule people are needed to find for themselves a "ME TIME". As going on a walk in the morning, we can observe people in parks laughing aloud, to release ENDORPHINS (feel good hormone).  There are other reasons as well. Stress relief Laughter creates a stress-relieving effect and can also make you feel uplifted or fulfilled. Researchers have found that laughter reduces the three stress hormones: Cortisol, epinephrine, and dopamine. Dr. Lee Berk, an associate professor at Loma Linda University and the study’s team lead said, “…seeking out positive experiences that make us laugh does a lot to our physiology to stay well,” because laughter can shut down the release of these s...

  Since I was a child, I had been dreaming to live in a house that would be a place of peace, joy, and inspiration. I don’t like the idea of living in a noisy city in an apartment in the block of flats. My dream house should be situated outside the city, in a deserted place, somewhere in a wood near a lake surrounded by the wild beautiful nature, or it would be an amazing idea to live somewhere on an island like Hawaii with beautiful sandy beaches and a lot of sun. I adore nature and it would be so exciting to wake up early in the morning and listen to the birds singing. At least, my dream house should be located near a small river in the countryside where I could live in peace and harmony with serene nature. My dream house should be of a simple design; I would like it to be a bungalow style house designed in basic colors that are appealing to the eyes. I would like to have a huge lawn in front of my house and enough parking for several cars. There should be a small garden plante...

YOGAYA PRANAYA There's an old saying that a healthy mind always stays in a healthy body, the importance of which we realised during the recent pandemic. Everyone was searching for ways to stay healthy physically as well as mentally. Our sages in ancient times practised yoga daily and the benefits of which are mentioned even in the Vedas. Now the question arises of the relevance of yoga today. As the lives of many have come to a halt and leading a sedentary life due to the virus. Hence, being in lockdown and staying fit is the need of the hour, so the answer is YOGA or Pranayam. The government is promoting to stay fit and boost your immunity as the deadly virus can be fought only by having a yogic mind and body. Yoga not only gives you a physical and mental well-being but it also gives you a window to your spiritual side, so practising yoga daily makes you a superior being.

On Labour Day this year, we could not talk about labour rights. As they were living without the basic fundamental right of having a dignified life, they could not have the necessities that are needed to live. As most of them were daily wage earners, living on what they earn daily. During the Pandemic, all they wanted was to reach their homes. They might not have a dignified life there, but they would have a roof over their head and something to eat. In this hope, many travelled hundreds, some thousands of km. In their journey, some never reached their destination. Many met with accidents across highways, railway tracks. The country needed the lockdown, but had it been more systematic, it wouldn't have been a long road for children and women to suffer alongside their lone earner. #corona #labour #news

  The heart of every successful business lies in marketing. So, will your business be successful or not – it all depends on the marketing. The things that every good marketing should cover are advertising, promotions, public relations and sales. What marketing really does? It is a process in which a service or a product is introduced and then promoted to any potential customers. If you don’t have proper marketing, you can offer the best products in your niche but no one would even hear of it. So, without marketing, many companies would close because their sales would crash. Now, let’s see why marketing is important in order for your business to be important. It Gets Your Word Out If you want your business to be successful, the service or the product you are offering must be known so that you will have potential buyers. If your business is unknown to the community and you don’t have any kind of communication with your customers you need to use marketing strategies to create awarenes...

.   I have been meditating seriously for a little over a year now, and I can genuinely say that it has changed my life for the better. No, I have not reached enlightenment or experienced some coveted cathartic state, but I have learned how to be more mindful through meditation. I have learned how to better understand my internal self, and observe how it coincides with my external self. I have learned (in most situations) how to be more passive and thoughtful as opposed to more aggressive and irrational. Quite frankly, meditation has taught me a lot, and I believe it can teach others a lot as well. It is more than sitting in an awkward position and chanting. Meditation is about becoming one with your mind, and learning something about yourself that you may not have known before you undertook the practice of meditation. Your practice can be as long or as short as you would like, but try to take the time to meditate every day. You will be thrilled with the results, and we’ve put toget...

PR VS. ADVERTISING: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? When most people hear about PR and advertising, they assume it’s roughly the same thing. The reality, in fact, is that there’s a big difference between them. The mistaken belief might arise from the fact that both of them have to do with the information found about a person or brand in the media, making both of them marketing. However, that’s where the similarity ends. The starkest difference between them is that advertising is controlled media. The company creates a campaign and the materials for it before paying the media to share the campaign. PR is much less controlled, as it creates a campaign and shares the information with media sources. These often include journalists, bloggers, and influencers in the same field. The recipient decides what to do with the information the PR firm has handed to them. P R is also much cheaper than advertising – a fraction of the cost. PR IS A FRACTION OF THE COST OF ADVERTISING Ronn Torossian of 5WPR share...

The recent tragic death of a star has left many stumped. Some have also gone into thinking 🤔 why such a huge star would do something like this. But Depression is less talked about, as some feel it is not a topic to talk about, some feel embarrassed in sharing their feelings, some do share but they are not taken seriously. But today I thought about talking or giving my view about  Depression, as I don’t claim to be an expert myself in this field or have gone through something like this. We as human beings do have emotions, feelings, moods, or in total a psychological side of ourselves, of which we share some and hide some. I personally feel that these are just a vent for our social being, what we actually are, or what we want others to perceive us. In a world of stars, no one cares about the stardust, as everyone wants to be the star, not the stardust. In the case of this star, he too wanted to be the brightest among the other stars. But as we know every Pro has a Con for it. Now w...

  Educators work to include a wide array of studies within the required curriculum for young adults. However, there’s a key component of life in which students of all ages aren’t gaining enough knowledge. Even though financial literacy is crucial to successful “adulting,” a mere 17 states require high school students to take a course on financial literacy. These courses have proven to have a direct impact on a student’s ability to make wise financial decisions. Plus, students who have some personal finance classes under their belts are much more likely to successfully save money, budget wisely and invest smarter. Perhaps we should reevaluate how we’re educating students (or not educating students) on these important life aspects. Until that change happens, though, here are the five key concepts to work on in order to improve your financial literacy. Mastering these aspects won’t always be easy but, with a little bit of practice, will benefit you for a lifetime. 1. The Basics of ...
