Many people perceive crying as weakness. In fact we Indians say that boys don’t cry and if you are a boy and you are seen crying then your character is questioned and you are judged for lifetime. Apparently, this is a big mistake because confronting your emotions gives a lot of strength even though it’s a type of vulnerability. If you feel like crying then don’t hold back because:        1) Crying cleanses your eyes- tears lubricate your eyeball and eyelid which helps to see well.        2) Crying fights cold- tears helps to fight disease causing pathogens.          3) Emotional tears eliminates toxins These are some scientific reasons stating the importance of shedding tears. But what I think is that crying is amazing. I think we underestimate the power of producing tears.              We are told that emotionally strong people d...

Animal Farm is a satirical set on a typical English farm. The story and language are very simple but orwell is unnervingly precise in the way he depicts each step on thw road from revolution to tyranny. T his book is set in a future when animals are much cleverer than now. And because of their cleverness, the pigs started a revolution against the humans. Pigs could speak fluently in English unlike the other animals, and that gave them the power to be leaders. But, the story that follows only happened a few years after that... Their first leader, Old Major, was kind and fair who knew animals should be equal. But when Napoleon became the leader it was very unpleasant. He made a rule that allowed the pigs to have better food and that forced all of the other animals to work crazily hard every day and night. That wasn’t enough, Napoleon wanted more power.He decided to kill his brother, Snowball, so that he would be the only leader. Snowball was admired because he ...

HOW TO ENJOY YOUR OWN COMPANY? This is something that I wanted to write for the longest time. So, how to enjoy your own company? Follow the following steps:-    1)   Get rid of misconceptions -   When first you will try to hang all by yourself only doubts you will have in your mind will be things that we were always told ever since our childhood like who goes for watching a movie alone? Or who goes to eat alone? You are considered weird or mad when you do things alone because the socially believed protocol is to be with friends or family. It is something that everyone prefers but it is not something that should be done. These all are just misconceptions that you always need someone to accompany you or to be a partner in crime. I think this happens almost with most of us because we are so used to be with someone that we think that we always need someone to make you happy. It is a massive misconception that you always need someone to be with yo...

INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM :  ISN'T IT TO BE ADDRESSED?  I agree that I am no one capable to speak against our education system but I think in all these 19 years I have observed that this won’t help me deal with real life issues. I am not completely against Indian education system but what I want to say is that our education is all about rote memorization which further encourages cramming instead of lifelong learning. Most of the teachers as well as the parents ask children to cram things and score well in exams. Their main objective is all about being a topper by any means. Why do these parents and teachers forget that cramming things and scoring in turn will not make us a good human or a successful person? I don’t know why I was taught about the number of masons involved in building a monument or the birth dates of any random king or the formulas of integration and differentiation. Will I have problems like these in my real life? Will I get problems of write...

WALK ALONE All of us want to be successful right? But what we forget is that it’s not that easy to succeed. Always remember it’s easy to say from the other end just empathize and you will figure it out. Success is something subjective and the process of working to succeed depends on the person. Success can be a lonely road or can be an easy one just a straight and clear path. The main point is it’s not for everyone. I don’t want to discourage anyone out there but it’s a fact that all of us can’t succeed everywhere. For the existence of any process there should be someone to fail which is natural. If you are amongst those who follow others like a sheep then you will never figure out your true potentials. So, stop following start exploring. I have seen a lot of people upset of the fact that they are left alone that they don’t have anyone to support them. Okay? What do you think is it a problem? The answer is NO . It’s not a problem to be alone. Instead it’s good beca...

KERALA FLOODS:                 A NATIONAL DISASTER \                    I think all of us are aware of the problem that Kerala is facing right now. Being a human it is so depressing for me to read all these news articles published reflecting the stats of no. of deaths and people suffering and all that. When I came to know all this I started searching the reasons of this natural calamity and I came to know that there are a lot of reasons behind this disaster. These flood alerts has been made in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka as well. See why do floods happen is something very subjective and I think we all have read about these things in our primary classes so what now. I will be discussing the factors that lead to Kerala flood disaster according to my study:     1 )    Increasing Rainfall –   Kerala faces flood issues every year but this time the rainfall has...
