DREAMCATCHER

The small circle is her life problems spins off tight,

society dispirited of what she is,

she observed the way , a life of positive ray,

A firefly came through the spin circle ,

Gave her lights and touched her soul,

glory of her life started with desire

Chasing up the firefly

in different ways in which the zazzy feathers cry

and so here dream started as an ambition to catch the firefly!

Say no to Chinese

There is a campaign for boycott of Chinese goods in the country. The Indian scenario has changed in order to break all shared ties with China, which has been supporting Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. Such an incident is being seen on social sites. India is a major center for Chinese goods, as Chinese goods are cheaper.
The trade of Chinese goods in the country is so extensive that in the first few weeks before the festival, only in Delhi, products worth 1000 crores have been sold. As a member of the WTO, India needs to import Chinese goods. The trade partnership between China and India is 4.6 lakh crores, and China is India’s largest trading partner. For this reason, India may face difficulties in ending trade partnership with China.
The process of manufacture of indigenous goods in India has become somewhat blunt. India imports 7 times more goods from China than exports. India imports 32.02 per cent of electronic, 17.01 per cent of nuclear reactors, boilers and parts, organic chemicals 9.83 per cent foliators. Agriculture and today’s important part of human mobile When we are forced to import from China, then it does not seem appropriate to stop trading with China.
Mahatma Gandhi had said that we need to be free from the use of foreign goods, but he also said that this will happen only when we make our own things. When foreign investment is also happening in Modi’s ambitious plan ‘Make in India’, then the boycott issue seems inadequate. Only we can beat China against its durability. We cannot run a boycott campaign only because of the use of Chinese skirting and firecrackers during the festive season.
India currently buys iron and steel 5.82 percent, plastics and articles 2.74 percent, photography equipment 2.09 percent, bots 2.05 percent, iron and steel articles 1.92 percent and 1.81 percent parts of vehicles other than railways from China. India imports almost all the parts of the past few years from cosmetics, defense equipment to travel facilities like rail, motor vehicles, etc., then it makes sense to talk about the import of Chinese goods. To what extent the boycott of Chinese goods can be justified when the country’s infrastructure agriculture is still with China’s equipment and fetters.
China has become a manufacturing hub for the world’s big brands, not just for India. Most of the equipment of well-known companies is manufactured from China. Due to the price of sugar products being cheap, many producers in India are currently becoming traders only and only. Actually the problem is that at the lower price that a product is made in India, it comes to the market with the tag of ‘Make in China’ at a lower price. If we talk about the economy of every country is not equal. The wheel of economy keeps spinning. If we look at it, we will know that in the 1960s and 70s, Japan had established its dominance over the world market. After this, 80s belonged to Korea. He doubled by day, progressed by night and became a market for the world.
After this, China has not only captured the whole of South Asia, and is selling its goods. Now if India is ready to respond to China with Pakistan, then it will have to evict China from its position, for this India will have to increase its production area. China’s goods are weak in the area of quality and durability, India can make a place by doing good work in this area. If we talk about long-term quality goods, then the name of Germany will come up. There is no match for German machinery yet. Although China has made a place in the world market by making cheap goods, but it is far behind in terms of quality. India should pay attention to this.
India cannot boycott Chinese goods because trade is not based on sentiments, but is dependent on cheap products and profits. In the global era, it is not possible for any country to ban the product of any other country. In the last year itself, the Modi government has signed a US $ 10 billion trade agreement with China. According to a report by Boston Consulting Group, India is dependent on China for 90 percent of the raw materials of India’s pharmaceutical industry.

The kind of radical nationalism that India is talking of breaking trade relations with China, China can also do it for its own benefit. India must first increase its productivity, so that China can be equaled. As long as India remains dependent on China for the basic and absolutely necessary things for the country’s system. India cannot stop the entire trade by banning the goods of Deepawali Welters, Crackers. If China wants to punish Pakistan for love, that too by shutting down trade, then it will have to develop the industry at the basic level necessary. Swadeshi has to be emphasized.

Reading and its Techniques

There are four skills usually used to master a language. Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing. A good reader becomes good listeners, speakers and writers. Nonetheless, the fact remains that no one skill learned alone, mostly the combination of all skills. Reading is preferred for Pleasure, examination, general information, specific knowledge, problem-solving, draw logic etc.

Types of Reading

1. Scanning

2. Skimming

3. Intensive Reading

4. Extensive Reading 

Above are the four types of readings. Usually, we call them as reading techniques.

In the age of internet and information overload what to read and what not to read is extremely crucial. Reading techniques help in dealing with such a situation. 

Detail Explanation of types of reading

Scanning

Scanning is reading with a specific purpose in mind for specific information. When one reads an entire text/ document quickly while looking for specific information, it is known as scanning. 

For examples:- Going through an entire newspaper and looking for specific news like try to get specific information about Delhi University admission, on Election- Poll etc.

Skimming

Skimming is speed reading for an overview of general information. Going through an entire newspaper quickly through the headlines is an example of skimming. Going through Data- table quickly to elicit to an overall idea of the topic on which data is presented is an example of skimming techniques of reading. Do not expect or deep comprehension of the written text after skimming. Reading only the headings of the chapter is skimming.

“A.K Pugh in his book “Silent Reading – An Introduction to its Study and Teaching suggested that since scanning is a less complex style of reading it can be introduced first. Skimming requires fluency and more practice required, it should be introduced later.”

Intensive Reading

It is a specific written piece for a specific purpose. It is going into minutest details of a particular word/phrase/line/paragraph.

For example:- 

“The woods are lovely dark & deep

But I have promises to keep

And miles to go before I sleep”

Refer: “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” by “Robert Frost”

To answer a question like,’ what is the meaning of ‘woods’ in the poem, one will adopt intensive reading techniques. This Skill is very crucial for language learners, as they pick up vocabulary focus on structure& syntax while following these techniques.

Scrivener in his book ‘Learning Teaching’ Published in 1994, described that the readers carefully and closely read a short text to gain as an understanding of as much as detail as possible.

Extensive Reading

It is a kind of general reading for general information. Generally, this technique is used for pleasure reading, like reading a novel for pleasures.

For Example:- If one is asked to read to a chapter before discussing it in class, one goes for extensive reading to get the general idea of the piece. While reading unseen passage, both extensive & intensive both is required. For dealing with specific questions intensive reading is required, but for initial reading is for the general idea of the passage.

Skimming and Scanning Together

  • Both are referred to as types of reading & other times as skills. 
  • By practising skimming & scanning, the individual learns to read and select specific information without focusing on information that is not important or meaning. 
  • Skimming involves a thorough overview of a text and implies limited activity, only retrieving information relevant to a purpose.

Intensive and Extensive Reading Together

  • It is common for both approaches to reading to be used in the same class. For example, where extensive reading is encouraged, the teacher may have the student read together or learn a specific skill such as writing an outline.
  • In the class where intensive reading is mostly used, the student may be asked to read texts of their choosing to report back on, in either an oral or written format.
  • In both approaches, it is not the nature of the skills that are of most interest but rather, results.

Merchant of Venice – a tragedy or a comedy

One of the Shakespeare’s most powerful, strange, uncomfortable plays. A play about a piece of paper with a promise, a dangerous promise, and yet its a comedy. Sometimes showcasing the relation between Jews and Christians, sometimes, comedy and tragedy, and sometimes between those who are at center and the margins. Yet, it is a play that engages with toxic materials, with the major themes of self interest, the divine quality of mercy, hatred as a cyclical phenomenon.

Though, the play begins with a comic, but not entirely lighthearted way with a group of friends – male friends. But as the play proceeds, through act two, the story turns to unfold, and it is out of the history of hatred and suspicion that the play withstands in a new way. And turns into a tragic event. In act three is a famous moment, where the speech of Shylock (one of the tragic figures of the play) is a declaration of shared humanity. This speech makes the extremely strong claim of the opposite, that we share the same being. But it is also worth remembering that the speech ends with a declaration of determination to revenge.

This is a play that says if you treat me this way, I will want to get my revenge. And I have learned that also from you, because when you are treated badly you want revenge.

This play stages rage on the part of the persecuted minority. The determination on the part of Shylock to kill his enemy.

Going all the way through the act four, we,as an audience,experience that it might turn out to be one of the tragic plays, as is clear from the trial scene, ending up with Antonio’s death. But, lastly ends up with a happily -ever- after mood. In act five, everyone marrying their loved ones, changing of lives.

Genre –

There are two ways that people tend to think about comedy, a more romantic idea and a more satiric idea. And the romance is what throws the emphasis on the reconciliation.

When the play begins, fulfilling the audience’s expectations of what a comedy might look like, we have young men bantering with each other, teasing Antonio about the fact that he is sad. We also have the introduction of marriage plot, we learn that Bassanio wants to woo Portia. Also, Portia wants to find an acceptable husband. The play also goes towards a romantic play, a myths, fairy tales, romance stories that audiences might be familiar with, like involving the casket test. Audience might have reacted with some surprise when we hear this tragic news that Antonio has defaulted, that his life is in danger.

Thus, this is a play that leaves the audiences awestruck with its continuously changing moods, starting rightly from a comic pace, to going through some tragic moments, and finally ending up with a rom-com arena. Which is why most of the playwrights often misconceptualise it and try to mould it in a way which suits their audiences the most.

Science for life

The lifestyle of the modern man is vastly different from that of the ancient man. Modern man is ensconced in the lap of luxury and comfort. Thanks to the influence of science and technology, modern man could enjoy every moment of his life. When compared to modern man, ancient man was not lucky enough. He was not accustomed to SMS, cyber cafes, fast food. Science has given every one to modern man. Blessed are the women of today because they never face any household problems today. The home appliances have alleviated the burden of modern women in their household chores. Every invention augments the power of man and the well-being of mankind. The invention of electricity has been performing wonders and a real pioneer to several inventions and discoveries. The invention of several new medicines, medical equipment, and surgical instruments have elongated the life span of people. Several diseases, which were considered as epidemics in those days, are nipped in the bud today. X-rays, LASER, ECG, EEG, and Angiogram are the real saviors of mankind. The advent of computers and the internet has brought the whole world to our drawing-room. Mobile phones and iPhones have revolutionized the art of communication. Launching rockets and the installation of satellites into the orbit have done a world of good to mankind. New and effective scientific methods are adopted in the field of agriculture also. This significant development in technology has enriched the fields like education, agriculture, defense, medicine, meteorology, space research, and so on.

At the same time, science has metamorphosed man into a machine. As a result of the influence of science, human values are gradually vanishing. For instance, people, in the thick of watching TV, forget all other things. Children are almost slaves to the computer and mobile games. Thus, their natural growth and personality development are curbed. Depending too much upon machines makes people inactive, unimaginative, and scarcely creative. Worse than all these things is the threat posed by scientific weapons. No one can forget the atomization on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. No one can shrug off the Bhopal Tragedy and the Chernobyl Tragedy as a mere accident. These are the outcome of man’s exploitation of science. Though science has given everything to mankind, it is gradually depriving man of certain values like love for fellow people, diligence, awareness about the environment, and so on. If all scientists of the world take a vow to use science only for a constructive purpose if the people of the world decide not to depend too much on scientific equipment if science contributes only to the conservation of the earth, sciences really a boon to the world.

“Manual Landing Mission on Moon and Factors Affecting Their Sudden Drop”

Humans have been challenging their boundaries and bringing every aspect of their dreams to be a realty. With the development in science and technology, men has been able to bring all sorts of comforts, facilities and knowledge to their lives. World war 2 led an important role in development of aerospace and related field. More aircrafts be it passenger or fighter were manufactured and this leads to a whole new phase of possibilities for humans. So humans were able to launch their first satellite in space, followed by the first person in space and then soon after a few years we were even able to land on the moon. Space became a fight between the top countries like the USA and Soviet Union. But initially Soviet Union were way long heading in this fight till the USA didn’t land their mission or manned mission on the moon. 

But the main thing to notice is that humans last landed on the moon in early 70’s.One after another space mission, Helped humans to discover a lot more about space, and each time they land, created history. But what led to the stopping of these missions suddenly. Why did the US stop their successful series of aircraft in outer space? Initially these were very successful missions to space until Apollo-13 which got to space and orbited the moon, but couldn’t land due to lack of oxygen . It was a tough journey back to planet safe, but it really helped NASA especially to look after loophole and prepare best for the next mission. After that, successful 4 missions held. But soon it stopped. The study shows the effect of “Budget for these space agencies as by the government”. In late 50’s as soon as Soviet Union started their missions to space, it put pressure on USA. Soon after they sent their first Cosmonaut to space and ended more pressure on the USA. The US seemed to lose this race to space. So they invested most of their money in developing space technology, research and new ideas to overcome this defeat. This truly resulted  as an advancement for humans and their reach beyond limits which they thought were impossible not. The moon landing and consecutive space flights lead them way long to head to Soviet Union and any other countries, making it the only country to land on the moon. 

But significantly the USA has limited its investment in most space projects and this has significantly called off most of their space missions. After 1973 , investment got less and decreased with time and is still very less as compared to what it used to be. The  reason for this is that they seem themselves as superpowers and no other country has achieved such accomplishment in space. So space travel and especially landing on the moon decreased . 

NASA is planning their next space manned program to land on the moon by 2024 and this might be a beginning of another phase of moon landing with back to back space flights and landing missions on moons. The dream to have a human base may get another lifeline to be fulfilled soon  and we may see other better possibilities, research and hidden secrets on the moon which could help us to better understand it, and we can make a permanent human base on our natural satellites.

Why Education Is Important?

“The whole purpose of Education is to turn mirrors into windows.”- By: Sydney J. Harris

In our free country where we pride ourselves on having the ability to form our own choices, why it’s required by law that children attend school between the ages of six and sixteen? There are a few arguments out there as to why receiving an education shouldn’t be mandated by law: Children could simply be taught their family’s trade from a young age and earn a living wage through that knowledge, right? Is education is a form of political control? By having the liberty of speech and thought, children should even have the elemental right to regulate what information enters.

Moreover, for a happy and stable life education is important. If you have knowledge about the world than it will lead to happy life. You will be able to earn a good amount of money with which you can enjoy the good things that world has to offer you. In this modern era everybody wants a good life which can be earned by money and money can be earned by those who are educated. If you are educated than there are chances of having a high paying job that everyone seeks to have in their life. Education not only provides money but also it helps to identify an individual rights and most importantly it provides or help you learn about equality for fair place for everyone for every opportunities. Else it makes you self dependent that means not to dependent on others for anything. Education will open doors for various opportunities. Education doesn’t mean how to read and write but it means how to make proper use of ability of writing and reading. This also means how to utilize their knowledge for their growth. Education also helps for the countries growth economically and cherish with prosperity.

Benefits of Education are:

  1. Brings up productive results- Education in this modern era is also important for the society as with the increase in population the needs of people are also rising whereas firms needs only developed employees for which one should be able to gain knowledge for productive results.
  2. It helps the country with well educated citizens.
  3. Importance of voting can only be known if one is educated as voting is the right of citizens.
  4. It will help the citizens to get a good job.
  5. Educated persons are able to make their decisions.
  6. It also help by finding difference between good and bad.
  7. People will no longer dependent on others and they will be able to develop themselves.
  8. An educated persons helps in creating an educated society.
  9. It also helps in solving unemployment issues in the country.
  10. Children will be raised rightly as they are the future of the country.

However, education is very important aspect in one’s life. Without this an individual is incomplete. For a healthy and wealthy life education is needed. Children should also be taught the importance of education as they are the future of our country. Hence, if education is important for children than it is also important for the society to make educated society and a educated country.

“Want to become a bollywood actor? Just know these things before.”

Bollywood has grown enormously in the entire world and the popularity of bollywood actors has reached worldwide. This popularity has inspired many people in our country to take acting as a profession.
An actor undoubtedly gains a lot of admiration and money. But the road to becoming a successful actor is filled with many hurdles and there is a dark side behind it as well.

● Bollywood sometimes fails to appreciate real talent. People who have close relations with the top producers, directors or anyone linked to the film industry have a higher chance of getting selected as an actor rather than a deserving candidate. But you shall keep believing in your talent and not lose hope.

● You have to constantly keep on proving yourself and keep on impressing the audience with your performance as an actor. When your films are doing good economically, you are amongst the top choices by the filmmakers. But once your films start becoming a flop, you find it very difficult to get good roles.

● Stress is an uninvited guest in everyone’s life. You have to face it in every profession, same is the case with the acting profession. As an actor, you are exposed to many unwanted things in your life and you have to constantly prove yourself every day to someone. You have to live a completely different life to please someone without being angry or frustrated. In this process, you lose your individuality and fall prey to stress.

● You have to struggle really very hard to become a bollywood actor. There are many teenagers in India who are desperately wanting to become an actor. They are working on their body and mind regularly to get selected in a film and showcase their talent. To become an actor among such huge competition is very difficult and you have to be ready for this struggle.

● You might have to get along with other actors who are having a completely different personality and keep making strong connections with them. You might not always like these people personally but to stay in the limelight you will be required to go against your liking and make fake connections.

● As an actor, you earn a decent amount of money, but a huge portion of it goes in maintaining your status as a popular actor. But, there can be a phase in your acting life, where you could face a financial crisis. At such times, you feel very weak emotionally and lose your confidence.

● You would be required to try things out of your comfort zone just to get an opportunity to become an actor. Many bollywood actors have confessed about sexual harassment by top filmmakers just for the sake of an acting role. Such demands can leave you mentally and physically devastated, so you have to train yourself to face these challenges. But it is not that always you have to face such demands.

The life of a bollywood actor is glamorous and all the aspiring actors might feel like living it. But, it is also filled with many unexpressed pains and sorrows. The journey of becoming an actor is not at all easy and you have to work wholeheartedly if you want to become one.

● Meditation can prove to be very useful in boosting your immunity power. It also lowers the blood pressure and reduces the risk of heart attack, kidney failure or any heart related diseases.

● Meditation makes you brave and fearless. It calms you and makes you strong from within. It gives you the required confidence to face any difficult situation in your life without anyone’s help.
