Women education iN INDIA

From the day of Independence, India has considerable growth in all the fields. The reason for this development is the educational rate of the country. In India, Education is common to both genders. But the level of literate women was lower than men in India. There are some superstitions against women and their education. In many villages, girls we’re not allowed to educate. They were compelled to take care of their homes. Many of the girl’s future we’re destroyed by blind myths and superstition activities.

Gender discrimination and male domination towards females are still happening. In some villages, people refused to allow their girl children to school because of insecurity for their children. Many of the girls have to walk for a long distance for schooling it makes them feel insecure. Indian government constructs a school in rural villages to solve their insecure setback. Crime against women also a reason for the hesitation in coming out of their homes. For that, the Government takes strict action and punishment for crimes against women. Now, women’s involvement is increasing in various fields it is one of the reasons for India’s development.

Gender equality and common education for both gender will take the country into a great height. The government gives full support and keep encouraging women to move forward. And also taking steps to promote women’s education in India.

13 REASONS WHY! Ever wondered about the mystery behind some common Hindu traditions? Here’s what science has to say!

1) Tilak on forehead

The  circularspot between the eyebrows  is viewed as a significant nerve point in the human body. A tilak is accepted to forestall the loss of vitality, and hold this to control different degrees of focus. In addition, the demonstration of applying this guarantees the focuses on the mid-temple area and Adnya-chakra are squeezed, encouraging blood gracefully to the facial muscles and ensuring the natural glow.

3) Namaste (Pranaam)

There is a logical purpose for the ‘Namaskar’ in Hindu culture. Joining two hands together guarantees contacting the tips of the considerable number of fingers together, which are connected to pressure focuses in the eyes, ears, and brain. Squeezing them together is said to actuate these, helping us recollect that individual moment for quite a while.

4) Ringing bells in the temples

Devotees strike the temple bells upon entering as its sound is said to clear our brain and assist us with remaining sharp, keeping our full fixation on dedication towards the almighty. Besides, these bells are made so that the sound they produce makes solidarity in the left and right pieces of our cerebrums.

Indian ladies regularly wear toe rings on the subsequent toe. A specific nerve from this associates the uterus and goes to heart. Along these nerve-endings, a toe ring on this toe reinforces the uterus, keeping it solid by directing the blood stream to it. Besides, a lady’s menstrual cycle is supposed to be regularized.

7) Tossing coins away in a holy stream or river

Verifiably, most money in the ancient period, was made of copper, an essential metal for the human body. Throwing coins in a holy water body was an approach to allow adequate copper, as a major constituent of water, to be consumed by us. As wells, drawing in water from these rivers were the main sources of drinking water.

8) Piercing of the ears

Indian doctors and scholars have acknowledged that piercing ears helps in the advancement of mind, intensity of reasoning and dynamic resources. This is the scientific reason behind most of the indian ladies piercing their ears while also serving the purpose for jewellery.

9) Not laying down with your head pointing north

The human body has its own magnetic field, while the Earth, as we all know, is a mammoth magnet. At the point when you lay down with your head pointing north, your body’s attractive field gets hilter-kilter to the Earth’s, causing issues identified with circulatory strain since your heart needs to work more diligently so as to defeat this.

10) Touching the feet of elders (Charan Sparsh)

At the point when you contact the feet of the old, their hearts discharge positive considerations and vitality, which they transmit through their hands and toes. Basically, the finished circuit empowers stream of vitality and increments grandiose vitality, turning on a soulful associate between two personalities and hearts. Your fingers and palms become the ‘receptor’ of vitality and the feet of the other individual become the ‘supplier’ of vitality.

12) Idol Worship

Hinduism engenders idol venerate much more than any other religion does. This was started to expand focus during supplications or prayers. As per therapists, a man will shape his musings in accordance to what he sees.

Ayurveda sees the fundamental reason for some infections as the amassing of poisonous materials in the stomach related framework. Ordinary purifying of poisonous materials keeps one sound. By fasting, the stomach related organs get rest and all body components are purified and rectified.

DIGITAL MARKETING: A WAY FORWARD

COVID-19 pandemic is a Humongous problem for companies everywhere, and it’s practically impossible to ignore the issue – it has changed the way business is executed everywhere.

Many owners and work managers are failing to shift the regular marketing strategies to a digital marketing (The new normal)

They are overlooking the situation because perhaps they have hope that some sudden turn of events towards normalcy will occur in the times of chaos. 

 Whatever may be the cause but this inability to adapt will cause grave concerns to the economic survival of the company.

Whereas, many organizations that have shown great adaptability by appointing digital marketing.

·       The impact – COVID: 19 on Businesses

There is no business which lies unaffected by the pandemic, worst sufferers are startups that do not have the capital or reserves to keep the struggle on and companies that relied completely on physical interactions, like salons, clothing stores, and yoga studios.

Accustomed to growth incitation by customer referrals and their awesome service reputations, they have experienced a very high revenue loss that their impulse reaction has been to cut marketing costs rather than exploring new and more effective options.

In turn, this unaccustomed reaction has had a detrimental ‘trickle’ effect on larger B2B companies work as providers to these smaller businesses.

Every business, be it your neighborhood departmental store or an enormous multinational firm, can benefit from digital marketing. Customers still need the products and services as much as ever—what these companies need to do is change the way they reach their target audiences. Even if a small enterprise doesn’t have an online page or portal (one in four do not have), it’s not very late to join in the businesses that are thriving online.

  1. Coming to – HOW TO?

It’s time for the affected businesses to make the transition from a fortress store to a digital provider by contacting their customers, reviving unused online assets like websites and social media profiles, and pedaling full speed ahead.

 

Contacting customers

The first step is to commence a dialogue between business and customers and carrying it forward. For companies that never collected email addresses, created a database, or engaged on a regular basis to their followers, it’s time now to do so.

Announce COVID-19 changes in an existing newsletter. 

Companies with an existing newsletter can convey to its subscribers about any corona virus-related changes in the next edition. Send out a newsletter to let your customers know how your business is reacting to the pandemic 

Boosting the company website Sorting businesses with SEO marketing

Coronavirus is changing the way that consumers shop. Approximately 47% of shoppers have stated that they are avoiding malls and shopping centers.

On the contrary note, SEO is undergoing a strong rise, with many brands reporting a significant hike in their organic search visibility from January to March 2020. 

It is evident it’s time to invest in, not to cut back on, SEO. It is one of the most cost-effective digital marketing strategies, it’s also delivering results.

 

Shifting daily operations online

There are very few organizations that cannot make the transition of their daily operations. Credit to video conferencing applications like Zoom, Skype, and many other executives and managers can communicate and impart instructions to staff and hold client meetings from anywhere. 

· Sales teams can take orders and reservations and provide services to customers via email, chat, or video. They no longer have to commute; they can even start work early leaving customers with longer support hours.

· Services that were previously delivered in person are surprisingly amenable to video presentations. Clients can pay online and receive a video link to live sessions.

Staff education also plays an important role in a successful transition—and this is time to enhance your team’s skills?

Online courses are highly cost-efficient, and teams can learn new skills that enable them to support each other whenever one department is down or facing issues. Courses on digital marketing are available on how it works and how to make the most out of all the opportunities.

·       The biggest question-What are my business benefits?

Many businesses are cutting costs on their marketing efforts due to COVID-19, but what they should really be doing is grabbing advantage of the new opportunities that are rising.

This emphasis on digital marketing is not something that they’ll want to slow down on once the lockdown ends. Online shopping is going to stop no-time soon, and most companies will find those web-based interactions to be convenient than in-person meetings.

Stores will reopen but alongside newly adopted ways of selling and engaging with customers.

While digital marketing may be regarded right now as an emergency plan, but by the time this is over, everyone will likely realize that it’s more than a temporary measure rather than a sustainable one. So GO DIGITAL AND BE FUTURE READY

“Coronavirus: A great lesson for all!”

The coronavirus has affected all the sections of the society and the entire globe is battling with this invisible enemy. Today, all the people of the world are sailing in the same ship. Everyone is dealing with the fear of this pandemic and struggling with it.

Everybody is exercising, taking medication, avoiding physical contact with others, following safety measures and doing everything possible in order to remain safe from the virus.

While we are in the phase of fighting with this pandemic, we are getting to learn and experience so many different as well as new things about ourselves, others and our society.

Following are some things that we have learnt from the coronavirus:

● Life is very unpredictable. So it is very important to value each and every moment of our life and live it to the fullest. This virus has taught us to not take things for granted and respect them.

● In our normal life, we are so busy with our daily routine that we hardly get time to spend with our dear ones. But, this pandemic has brought us closer to our loved ones. People have understood the importance of family and friends and how crucial it is to communicate with them.

● We work hard to earn money. In the process of making money, we forget to look after our health. But, now we have finally understood that nothing is more important than our health. We need to take care of ourself and practice proper hygiene procedures in order to prevent us from falling prey to this deadly virus.

● Every one of us actually dreamt of taking a break from our hectic life. Now, the lockdown that has been implemented to slow down the virus has given us the time and opportunity to follow our passion and hobbies.

● This lockdown phase has shown us that nature can heal itself if there is minimal or no human interruption. The level of pollution has significantly reduced and wildlife has shown signs of happiness during this lockdown period.

● We have learnt from this pandemic that we can live our life happily and peacefully with the basic needs of life. All that you need to have is the ability and knowledge to use these facilities appropriately.

● The coronavirus has given us important lessons on fitness and exercise. You need to keep yourself fit and boost your immunity power by engaging in some of the other forms of exercise to stay away from this virus.

● This invisible enemy has shown us that many of the commercial works in this world can happen from your home, without actually being present at the site of work or office. ‘Work From Home’ can be implemented and it can give as good results as the office work does.

We cannot predict how our life will be, once this deadly virus completely vanishes from the entire globe. But, I am sure about one thing that life will never be the same as it was before coronavirus.

We need to accept and learn to adjust in this new life. This virus has definitely given us some valuable lessons in life and educated us about the things which we otherwise couldn’t have learnt or understood.

English poetry on Environment. By Debalina Mukherjee.

Farewell…

We cut the trees and make the concrete forest
The trees never complain but the normal atmosphere bids us farewell;
We dispose waste in the rivers we consider to be our Goddess
She never complains.. But the purity bids us farewell
We use the vehicles that emit the poisonous gases
Freshness of the air never complains but bids us farewell
Our industries discharge chemicals in the ponds with aquatic ecosystems
The water never revolts but the aqatic life bids us farewell
Our continuous cropping tortures the soil
The soil never complains but its fertility bids us farewell
We use the high speed networks that emit heavy radiation
Nature never complains but the birds bid us farewell
We r clearing more forests that is the habitat of our wildlife
Ecology never complains but wildlife bids us farewell
We use the refrigerators and ACs that are the source of green house gases
Environment never complains but the soothing climates bid us farewell
All the above mentioned,being a part of mother  earth never complains..
It‘s true that a mother endures everything for the sake of her children
But doesn’t She is under a threat?
If we dont rectify our mistakes within the little time left
I am afraid,our mother earth will soon one day bid us farewell….



POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING

Positive thinking is a word we have heard several times and we always advice others to think positive. If someone is upset or worried very lovingly we put our arm across their shoulders and ask to think positive. It is a word we believe in and want to live in. But have we ever thought what is positive thinking?

What is Positive thinking?

Positive thinking is a mental attitude in which you expect good and favourable results. It is the process of creating thoughts that create and transform energy into reality. A positive mind waits for happiness, health and a happy ending in every situation.

So the question now arises why we feel negative or are negative thoughts wrong?

The answer to this question is that like positive thoughts a person may get negative thoughts too. It is a natural process. Being negative for a minute is not wrong as it is natural but being negative all the time is wrong because it gives you mental stress as well as distracts you from your goal.

What are Negative Thoughts?

Negative thoughts can be in the form of fear or worry. Blaming or belittling someone, feeling jealous, comparing with someone, feeling hurt about what someone said, feeling resentful about someone all comes under negative thoughts. So any thought which disturbs your state of mind, makes you feel uncomfortable is negative thought.

Now if being negative is not at all good for health so how to stay positive every time? Here are the few tips I have mentioned which will definitely help you to stay positive.

Tips to stay Positive –

1) Don’t take other people’s negativity personally.

2) Use positive words while talking.

3) Accept yourself the way you are.

4) Always think one day you will achieve your goal.

5) Think failure is an opportunity.

6) Try to smile in every situation.

7) Try to forgive people.

8) Change the way you think.

9) Always focus on solutions rather than getting into problems.

10) Love whoever is around to be loved.

11) Try to spread happiness around yourself

12) Be the positivity you want to see in the world.

13) Spend more time with positive people.

14) Meditate for 10 minutes every day.

15) Follow your passion.

Benefits of staying positive –

1) It reduces stress.

2) Increases our Confidence.

3) Helps to focus on our goal.

4) Helps to make more friends.

5) Helps to live a longer life.

6) Improves our management skills.

7) Improves our decision making power.

These were the tips and benefits of staying positive.

We need to learn to subtract negativity from our life. Every time you subtract negative from your life, you make new room for more positivity. People who are able to discern the positive points in negative situations are the one’s who prosper in long run. So defend yourself against the ‘ negative way’ and make room for a positive day. Realise that life is a series of ups and downs. Concentrate on today. Let go and move on when you must.

Don’t forget –

“What you live today is the result of your yesterday’s thoughts, and what you will live tomorrow is the result of your today’s thoughts. ”

TUM BIN 2: Sharing my thoughts on a highly underrated movie.

I watched Tum Bin 2 some two months ago and then only, checked out its reviews on the internet which didn’t seem to do justice with the content of the film at all and that is why i decided to express my views here and why i would say it is a must watch.


‎The story revolves around a girl named Taran who mistakens her fiance to be dead in a skiing accident caused on one of their vacations. The guy goes missing and she is heartbroken because she was about to get married. She has a hard time trying to move on upon the insistence of the guy’s father and her sisters. She would see him everywhere and the scenes are beautifully depicted with just the right kind of music playing in the background and the pain and the suffering of the girl is portrayed beautifully by Neha Sharma. I felt the pain myself. Soon a new guy named Shekhar (Aditya Seal) is introduced into her life. He is a very amicable guy and impresses off everyone else with this modesty. He tries to ease off the suffering of Taran, making her laugh and open up but at the same time not expecting anything from her so she gradually takes the first steps towords living freely.
‎
‎


SPOILER ALERT: And now after 8 months Aman, her fiance makes an entry. It is revealed that all this while, he was being treated anonymously and that, he went in a coma. Everyone is rejoiced and so is Taran. But somehow she finds it difficult to recreate that same bond with him because she had already decided to move on with Shekhar. Aman could not figure out the reason behind this sudden change of attitude. Taran initially maintained some sort of distance between her and Shekhar but she realizes that she loves him and needs to be with him only and that’s when she finally opens up to Aman and Aman gives a green signal to their relationship peacefully. And now after 8 months Aman, her fiance makes an entry. It is revealed that all this while, he was being treated anonymously and that, he went in a coma. Everyone is rejoiced and so is Taran.

Taran initially maintained some sort of distance between her and Shekhar but she realizes that she loves him and needs to be with him only and that’s when she finally opens up to Aman and Aman gives a green signal to their relationship peacefully.

Soon Taran and shekhar begin a relationship witnessing which Aman’s heart aches but he chooses to stay happy in the happiness of his lover’s. Towards the end, Shekhar suddenly starts behaving quite odd like not answering her calls and decides to leave the city. Taran’s sorrow is uncontrollable, wishing to talk to him and try and stop him for the one last time and Aman is the man who drives Taran to the airport and this conversation is the one which altogether changed my whole perception on LOVE.
Shekhar questions Taran repeatedly and says that he would stay for her if just once, she would say, that she doesn’t love Aman anymore. He reminds her that she never did actually love him. She was always in love with Aman only and shekhar was just a replacement as it was him whose carelessness caused Aman’s accident in the first place.And that’s when he decided that he would take care of everyone involved with aman but that doesn’t mean that he didn’t love Taran, he loved her immensely but to Taran, maybe he was just an infatuation, happened when she needed support.

SPOILER OVER: I think the reason why this movie didn’t go well with the audience is because they failed to understand the true essence of love. This movie portrayed different shades of love with a beautiful story line and an even better jukebox of musical tracks which keeps you engaged throughout. Through the dialogues and the songs, you can actually feel the the emotions of the protagonists. It’s highly recommended from my side if you feel like watching some real love content, with a box of tissues handy and if you’re an emotional person who understands such sob stories well.
