  Air Pollution in India is a serious health issue. In the Northern part of the country, it increases even more around the festival of Diwali, making it a cause of great concern for the government (sadly not the people). The time between October 15 and November 15 is considered critical for majorly Delhi-NCR's air quality due to certain reasons. REASONS  - ⇨ STUBBLE BURNING - In short, the production of crops has also increased the agricultural waste and generation of husk. Farmers usually gather the husk and put them on fire as it is the easiest way to dump it. However, doing so creates a serious issue that is directly linked to our environment. A large number of toxic gases are emitted into our atmosphere. The toxic gases become the cause of numerous health issues. Studies have shown that Stubble Burning has caused great deterioration in the air quality of Punjab and Haryana (primarily). ⇨ WEATHER PATTERNS -  The continuous increase in anthropogenic emissions of carbo...

  Today, on Gandhi Jayanti, it is important to know that Mahatma Gandhi always stood up for the Mother Earth. He stated that- " Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's Greed." Modern industrial development exploited the forest wealth mercilessly. The trees are cut down either for industry or for the dwelling units of man. The growing pressure by the population explosion, urbanization, and construction of big residential colonies have also played a significant role in the destruction of forests. It has directly resulted in the loss of green cover and indirectly, the loss of existence of human and animal life .   But this was not the reality in the early era where people truly loved nature it has given them their life to live and they should be grateful for that and while harming they are adding sin in their life and will be punished in the hell. Apart from the mythological Perspective and come closer to the more modern world where people...

Cruelty  to  animals  , also called  animal  abuse,  animal  neglect or  animal cruelty,  is the infliction by omission (neglect) or by commission by humans of suffering or harm upon any non-human.    In simple words, it is the abuse, harm or neglect intentionally towards an animal.  It is that simple.  Everyday countless cats, dogs and other animals suffer and die as a result of cruelty imposed by the very people who are expected to protect and care for them. Especially during Covid, many street animals were neglected thinking that they would infect the people. Some people even abandoned their pets thinking that they are harmful. Forget Covid , people throw their pets away( especially dogs) when they age. Let's have a look at few cases which we usually ignore or try to ignore. ⇨ SOME CASES  : ✱ Carcasses of nearly 90 stray dogs were found in Buldhana district of Maharashtra. The dogs were killed to check the stray p...

"Overpopulation in various countries has become a serious threat to the health of people and a grave obstacle to any attempt to organize peace on this planet."                                          - Albert Einstein The population is a term referring to a group of " species " living in the land area . So as the word says a group of "species", it means that both humans and animals live together and enjoy the resources equally. But are we even using them correctly or just reserving them for us and not sharing with others. The reason why humans are not sharing their resources with animals is that the ratio of humans to animals is more. Humans are increasing day-by-day which emanates that they need more area to live and explore by taking away the animal's land (forest). Moreover, increased human being growth is not only affecting the animal but it is also eminently affecting everythi...

    " The true teachers are those who help us think for ourselves .-   Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan   Do you remember who was your very first teacher???? Before answering this question, let us know who is a teacher? Etymologically, a Teacher is a person who helps you to learn.  Now, coming back to the question i.e. your very first teacher. If we contemplate, we'll find that the first person(s) to teach us anything were our Parents . It was them who taught us how to eat, drink, sit, talk, walk, jump,run, play and everything that they could. Our parents are the ones who selflessly work round the clock for us, to provide us warmth, care and protection.  But what do they do??? We all know what our parents have done and still do for us. Have you ever seen a baby taking its first step? Just notice his/her parents. They are the most happiest when they see their child walking for the first time. It is them who teach everything from the start. They 'teach' us how ...

    " Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement .  Nothing can be done without Hope and Confidence."  - Helen Keller OPTIMISM means Positive Attitude. It is the foundation of courage and true progression ; It is like a 'Happiness Magnet' . If you stay positive, 'good things' and 'good people' will be drawn to you. Whereas, negative attitude will always make you weaker because neither 'good things' will seem 'good' nor 'good people' will want to be with you.  Before grasping the advantages of Optimism, let's first perceive the disadvantages of Pessimism ( Negative Attitude). PESSIMISM  refers to the mental state of seeing the worst aspects of things. According to studies, pessimistic people are prone to get physical and mental problems and are susceptible to chronic pains and illnesses. ★ It can cause depression and other mental and emotional problems , like insomnia, anger etc. ★ It can lead people to neglect their h...

  Men and women are the two wheels of  the social cart.   For a  smooth & harmonious running of social and family life men and women both must be well-developed.  I t may be true that in majority of cases the girl doesn't become the bread-winner of the family but in this process of thought we are inclined to forget that - to give birth to the next generation and bring up this new generation is the basic and important task not only for the family but also for the society. Around the world, girls and women are treated as number two citizens, especially in India. All luxuries, comforts and even necessities must first be provided to boys and men and then,( if available) can be distributed to girls and women.  Let's divide this in two sections:                      ① Important  for  Family                             ...
