Nostalgia at the time of Lockdown

Image
On 24 th March 2020, the entire nation came to a standstill right after the Prime Minister of India declared a nationwide lockdown in order to prevent the contagion of COVID-19. It was fine for a few days to relax and stay at home, enjoying something like pre-summer holidays. The days passed by at its own pace, there being nothing much for one to do other than the household chores and nowhere to move around other than one’s own dwelling. The lockdown regime was a bit boring at first. However, subsequently people have started finding out ways to utilise and while away their precious time. The lockdown has brought in the feeling of nostalgia for everyone. People at present are with their families, spending time together just the way they did in their olden days. Social media is flooded with pictures of their childhood and other long forgotten memories. An icing on the cake of this nostalgia was the re-telecast of the most loved epic dramas. As the re-telec

Ramayan Inside Us

Image
While watching Ramayana, I realized that there is a character of Ramayan within us. Some of us are also a mixture of different characters; but its we who decide the right character or the right path. The characters resemble the personality traits each one of us has. Ram -   Truthful, Righteous and accept everything with a smile Sita - Dedicated towards family and stick to them all the time Bharat - Ocean of Sacrifice and Love Laxman - Obedient towards elders, but an angry young man Hanuman - Strong, Intelligent, Brave, Learned and Brilliant in all aspect Ravan - Brave and Intelligent, but greed can turn everything into a mess Vibheeshan - Always stand for the right  Mantra - Selfish Ramayan not only tells us about the kind of person we should become, but it also teaches us different values of life. It also tells us that we should have a goal in our life all the time, because without a goal we cannot do

Women's Day

International Women’s Day (IWD)  is dedicated to celebrating women’s achievements in the social, economic, cultural, and political spheres. The day, collectively founded by women, also brings attention to gender parity and women's rights. Originally called National Woman’s Day, the monumental annual celebration spread across the world (officially celebrated in 1911), but it was  Russia who unknowingly set the March 8 trend . Although International Women’s Day became an official holiday in Russia in 1913, women still experienced difficulties caused by WWI. While men were off at war, women dealt with food shortages and a government who wouldn’t listen to them. On March 8, 1917 (February 23 in the former Russian calendar), tens of thousands of Russian women took to the streets demanding change. The unified cry for help paved the way for Russian women to be granted voting rights soon after. It is a great responsibility to empower women also it is necess

As many as 125 lawmakers voted in the favour of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill and 99 against it. Background The Indian government passed the Citizenship Act in 1955. The Act provided two means for foreigners to acquire Indian citizenship. People from "undivided India” were given a means of registration after seven years of residency in India. Those from other countries were given a means of naturalisation after twelve years of residency in India. Political developments in the 1980s, particularly those related to the violent Assam movement against all migrants from Bangladesh, triggered revisions to the Citizenship Act of 1955.

Coronavirus is all over the media. The question that arises in the minds of people is ‘What is Coronavirus?’ and ‘How are people of China dying due to it?’ Coronaviruses  are a group of  viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds.
