Today many children face psychological problems. Few of the parents come to know about the problem of their child in the form of a disturbed child or angry child but mostly problems of a child goes unnoticed. Apart from this an Indian child is also facing a severe problem of physical burden in the form of carrying heavy school bags every day of their life. By rule a child can only carry 10 to 15 percent of his\her body weight. But it seems that they carry much more then that in the form of their school bags everyday to their schools. In a recent article written in The Times Of India it was stated that most of the school students carried around 30 percent of their body weight in these school bags everyday.Saturday, 7 April 2012
Heavy School Bags Could Be Dangerous
We all believe & know that children are the future. Thus the children should be groomed and educated properly. Indians are unto the mark when it comes to educating their children. Everyone wants their children to go to the best schools they can afford and have the best of education. Each and every one of Indian parents want their child to be the topper. To achieve this they pressurize their child right from the preschool stage . Schools on their part put pressure on these children so that they can boast to have the best result records to show to the world and advertise it for their gains.
Today many children face psychological problems. Few of the parents come to know about the problem of their child in the form of a disturbed child or angry child but mostly problems of a child goes unnoticed. Apart from this an Indian child is also facing a severe problem of physical burden in the form of carrying heavy school bags every day of their life. By rule a child can only carry 10 to 15 percent of his\her body weight. But it seems that they carry much more then that in the form of their school bags everyday to their schools. In a recent article written in The Times Of India it was stated that most of the school students carried around 30 percent of their body weight in these school bags everyday.If a child is regularly forced to bear such burden they will have many kinds of problems. The child will be facing problems like backache, headache, ligament tear. Heavy bags tend to put pressure on discs between vertebrae which causes back-pain. Constant load on spine among with a bad standing posture can cause lower back-pain is what the doctor says. How can you expect a child to stand in a correct posture when he or she is carrying such a burden every day of his or her schooling life. In the article of The Times Of India, orthopaedic surgeons Dr Tejal Patel and Dr Dinesh Agarwal have stated that repeated load on the neck, or cervical area can lead to headache and giddiness. Many doctors all over the world have stated that carrying heavy burden in the form of school bags can turn these children into humpbacks.
Child should carry only 3.5 kg. in class 1 & 2. In class 7 & 8 a child should carry about 9kg. weight at most. According to the rule at any given time child should be carrying only 10 to 15 percent of his or her body weight. After these facts came to my knowledge I was very disturbed. In our country there is a law against child labor. I think the law of against child labor has been around for quite a while but the schools are making the child carry very heavy school bags everyday. Isn’t this a sophisticated kind of child labor. The big question is why are the parents allowing it. I think they want to make a winner out of their children at any cost [ even at the cost their child becoming a humpback].
There are many articles being written in Newspapers in an effort to bring this problem to light. Many doctors also trying to make the parents realize what problems their child are facing. But the big question is do we all [ parents, teachers, institutes,schools and citizens ] as a society care to acknowledge this problem and try to rectify it.
Relationships
Relationship is that bond which makes two person connected by their mind,heart & soul....
Most of the problems emanate from the family itself. The trend of time is such that people prefer nuclear families and the women are mostly job-oriented. The complexities of life leave little or no time with the parents for their children. The school remains the only institution on this front. But unfortunately most of them have become commercial rather that education oriented. The youth experience the latest fashion and celebrate newer festivals like Valentine’s Day, mother’s day, father’s day etc. Which has never been a part of our country? Our own culture and tradition has already so colourful and worth living with, then what is the need for introducing these western trends in our lifestyle. Let’s not forget, that we are the ones who have to strengthen the roots of our culture and traditions and hence the roots of our values and character. The grim reality is that there is a vast ocean of temptations. It has to be a package of to enjoy them but still side by side struggle and work hard in order to ensure a bright future, financial stability, too thereby a sound settlement in life.
many time i have seen that relationship exist for spectacle.sometime teenagers in relationship acts like an adult & pose restriction for their partners as if they have married & time has changed so badly that many times people tries to suicide if their relationship comes to break up.I just ask those people that how can u think of suicide this shows that you give more importance to that peson whom u know for limited time rather than your parents & family who brought you in this earth.teenagers often use love for their partners,but does anyone knows the proper defination of love.@ the time of teenagae, love has small part to play because @ this age infactuation is the super player.so its very important for all the youngsters that we should take help of our guardian before any commitment otherwise amicable enviornment is more appropriate...

"My name is KHAN and I am not a terrorist"
“My name is Khan and I m not a terrorist” this is true. Nor
every Muslim is a terrorist. I am not here to favor Muslims, I respect all the
religions but over the past few years, there has been a growing tendency to dub
Muslims as terrorists which makes it difficult for innocent Muslims to live
proudly in a society.
People say that Muslims are spreading terror all over the
world in the way of suicide bombing, which all of the non Muslims have named as
"JIHAD" but they don't know the real meaning of "JIHAD". It
means "holy war". Jihad is fighting for rights and religion. We are
the follower of prophet HAZRAT MOHEMMED (S.A.W.) who was the most loving &
honest person the world has ever had, so how can be their followers could be
terrorists?
Muslims are not the follower of terrorism. They are the true
follower of Islam which is a religion of peace. It never teaches any Muslim the
chapter of terrorism, it teaches the most peaceful way of living life. People
call Islam, a religion of cruelty and violence but they don’t actually know
what Islam is all about. Islam is also one of the most peaceful religions
followed. A real Muslim can never be a
terrorist and he cannot go against this fact that Islam teaches us that the
murder of an innocent person is the murder of humanity as a whole.
Not every Muslim is bad, not even every Muslim is connected
to terrorism but people think this because they hear "bad" stories
about them and automatically think that everyone who is a Muslim is bad.This is the only reason that Muslims face problems in a
society. Many prefer people of other religions everywhere than Muslims.
After 9/11, many boys of my class started calling me a terrorist
just because I am a “Khan”, a true Muslim, a true follower of Islam. They used
to say that Muslims are terrorists and so even you. And one day I questioned
them- Who are Chandra Shekhar Azaad and APJ Abdul Kalam who did a lot for our
country? Who are Zeenat Amaan, Shabana Azmi, Javed Akhtar, Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan whose movies
you and your family enjoy to watch? Are they connected to Terrorism?
Terrorism comprises of Muslims but is it right to call every
Muslim a terrorist? If a person follows terrorism then this doesn’t mean that
his brother also follows terrorism. Muslims
are not criminals. Nowadays, who is not a criminal? There are so many crimes
happening every hour every day. Are all these done by Muslims?
Although we follow one religion but we should respect all
religions. It’s not about favoring Islamic religion or any other but it’s about
changing the perceptions that Islam is not about violence, it is not about
terrorism.

Incredible India!
"We owe lot to the Indians,who taught how to count,without which no scientific discovery could have been made".The famous quote was given by Albert Einstein,an American Scientist to India.
Aryabhatta, a well known mathematician gave 0 to the world without which no scientific discovery could have been possible.India not only gave 0 but also discovered decimals which is very useful in mathematics.
Our country not only showed excellency in mathematics,science and astrology but is also rich in its culture and heritage.It's a land of mix culture and heritage.Here,the guests are treated as the God by the people.A well written quote"Atithi Devo Bhavah" which means guests are our God and we welcome them with open heart.Due to this unique culture and tradition India has created its own identity in the world.

This is the world of Digitalization
Around the world, countries are welcoming the new digital era at various speeds. There is an overwhelming growth in awareness of the internet and its capabilities. The world is becoming digital. In this digital world, internet is fitting in to people’s lives across the countries. People spend half of their leisure time online. With the increase in internet penetration, more and more people are integrating this medium in their daily lives. Internet usage whether through mobile phones or computer systems, is becoming a major part of our life.
Internet is not only about being active on social networking sites but it is also about using search engines, online banking, researching for a product or service, paying bills and many more. There is a very interesting use of internet that now anyone can sell something online. This is a very new thing that has been introduced in the era of internet. But I personally think that before buying a product, we prefer to see, touch and smell it.
It is also encouraging people to connect to internet through their mobile handsets. There was a time of commerce which also came as E- commerce which is known as electronic commerce but now something new has introduced which is M-Commerce. Few years back nobody thought that they will be able to transact through computers but now the technology has become so advanced that now there is M-Commerce too and people can transact through their mobile phones.
Although internet has become an important part of our lives but still we haven’t reached the point where our digital communications have taken over our preference for face-to-face interaction. There is something very interesting that now also ‘traditional’ forms of communication prevail when people are in contact with family members (including parents).
There are still certain people across the globe people who no longer see the internet as an important tool for communication but there are some people who think that it is a vital tool for communication. The nature of its relationship to the user may change from person to person, but what’s consistent, is that it has become an inseparable part of our lives.

Top Communication Skills Needed in India
India is renowned for its diversity all over the globe. However, it has
been always believed that the intimacy and warmth carried by Indian is
unsurpassed. With such an assortment of culture and language, it is often
wondered that how does communication take place in such places. In the recent
years, there has been a tremendous change in the way Indians communicate among
themselves as well as with visitors from all across the world.
Unfortunately, a considerably low percentage of professionals realise
the actual level of communication required to compete with those staying
overseas consequently demanded because of globalisation. Here are a few
key skills required to take your communication skills on a level where classic
and contemporary worlds meet.
Confidence:
Confidence or believing in oneself is one of the primary keys towards
success. An effective communication comes from a confident speech and
trustworthy words. In a country like India, where relationships are valued
largely, it becomes really important to win confidence of others. If you are
not confident for yourself, why will others trust you? This is where your trust
on yourself plays a significant role.
Knowledge:
Before you start communicating on a particular note, it is very
important to have a thorough knowledge of the discussion you are about to own.
Confidence is directly proportional to knowledge. The more your have knowledge,
the better will be your confidence level. Here in India, we have a strong
appetite for appreciation and applause. This is the reason that as your share
your knowledge with people around you, you get appreciated even if it is just
in the form of a simple gesture.
Relationship
Management:
True is the fact that a great depends on the relationships in India.
Indians carry deep-rooted morals and values. Dignity plays a very important
role in maintain the relationships at the same time. Art of relationship
Management is a prominent factor that determines your success in India. Even if
it is a corporate cause, a polite and humble relationship can lead to the
success of almost anything in India.
Optimism:
The fear of rejection and failure
often doesn’t help in achieving goals. Your communication greatly depends on
the attitude you carry while dealing with people. It is true that Indian
citizens have faced a lot of ups and downs in their economy as well as society.
This is the reason it is not easy for them to accept things as they come in
life. However, a person approaching with optimistic thoughts often energizes
and motivates them. Positive attitude in your communication not only helps in
breaking the ice easily but at the same time it leaves an everlasting
impression on your clients and delegates or anyone you are in terms with.
Appearance:
If it is the face-to-face communication, appearance of an individual is
another significant factor. Your presentation influences your discussions to a
great extent. A smart and good-looking appearance will add to your confidence
and in turn lead to a better communication process.
All the above skills are sure to enhance the way you communicate with
Indian people.

Master blaster !

Bring home a friend
Dogs are believed to be man's best friend. They would never betray you or make you cry like most of your human friends might do. All that these voiceless creatures need is love! And I feel there's no other special way to help them and let them be a part of your family!
In India the number of stray puppies and dogs is in millions. Most of them are either born stray or abandoned by the owners unwilling to take their responsibility. Some people think that stray animals are responsible for making the environment dirty to live and cause various diseases which encourage activities like dog-killing programmes to take place.
But thanks to hundreds of NGO's such as Friendicoes and PFA(People For Animals) working for the well being and protection of strays. But we too as humans ought to come forward and help them by actually adopting the stray puppies and provide them a better life :)
The adoption procedure for a puppy or dog requires as much care as the adoption of a child. It can be done from an NGO, animal welfare shelter or even from your neighborhood if u find a helpless puppy who you feel urgently needs a home. Let’s help out these beautiful creatures who can't speak for themselves! Be humane to the strays.

The Unkindest Cut!
What punishment do you want to give to a Rapist? Either a 7-year long jail term or an extreme punishment of Castration! With the incidents of rape increasing day by day in our country, is this 7 year jail term is sufficient or should we support the suggestion of Justice Kamini Lau for an alternative punishment castration of rapists?
A Thomson Reuters Foundation global poll reveals a shocking fact that India is the fourth most dangerous place in the world for women and the main reasons for such low scoring were female foeticide, infanticide and human trafficking. It is an irony for a country where first person of the country is a woman, President Pratibha Patil. More over four major states in India, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and West Bengal are ruled by women chief ministers J Jayalalitha, Mayawati, Sheila Dikshit and Mamata Banerjee respectively. In addition to this, the ruling congress chief (Sonia Gandhi) and the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha (Sushma Swaraj) are also women.
Justice Lau expressed her dismay over the absence of a law allowing courts to punish rapists and molesters with castration. Castration of Rapist is an idea that has been stirring the conscience of lawmakers and upsetting human rights activists around the world. The comments of Additional Sessions Judge Kamini Lau while awarding a 10-year prison term to Dinesh Yadav, who had repeatedly raped his 15-year-old stepdaughter shouldn’t be ignored.

Blackberry Vs Android- The War is On
RIM
with Blackberry and Google with Android are two of the leading smart phone
providers. In some ways, there seems to be a battle going on between these two.
Meanwhile, Blackberry has a strong lead in the business sector, Google has
entered this battle with its Android
OS.
Starting out as a business
device, the Blackberry brand appeals to a large consumer audience. Blackberry
has the best email platform and is a runaway leader in smart phone.
Android is the latest OS but it isn’t as refined as the
Blackberry OS. Blackberry is ‘business centric’ whereas Android is more ‘app
centric’.
Facing competition from smart phone makers
like Samsung and Nokia, Blackberry-maker has planned out aggressive aim for
increasing its footprint all over the India, besides launching new devices and
latest Operation System 10. The Blackberry maker has a presence in almost all
the cities in the country now and is keen to tap the growing demand for smart
phones here.
The Android is a user
friendly, multitasking and easily customizable device whereas Blackberry is an
unbeatable email platform. Blackberry devices are for someone who uses a lot of
email and relies more on a QWERTY keyboard, though Blackberry has its touch
screen segment also. Its simple navigation, synchronized calendars and lesser
applications attract many users. In contrast, Android is primarily developed
for touch screen interfaces. Android is for someone who does not rely much on
mails and prefers a personalized phone that offers a bunch of applications.
Many people don’t consider
Blackberry as a smart phone because it’s little sophisticated whereas Android
phones are easy to use. In Android, there’s an app for almost every situation. Proud owners of BlackBerry devices are
always up to date when it comes to messaging. BlackBerry easily
integrates push email technology in a breeze, allowing you to instantly receive
messages as soon as they start showing up in your inbox. Blackberry app store lacked decent amount of
applications and it failed to attract developers with its poor interfaced
leading to its demise.
The
OS 10 of blackberry is now available. The new operating system could be RIM’s
answer to other OS’ like Windows Phone, Android, iOS and Samsung’s Bada. BlackBerry
devices continue to be popular, especially the BlackBerry Messenger service.
The broad areas of focus in blackberry phones are innovation, building brand
association, effective go to market channels and customer satisfaction.
Therefore those who want a
secure and manageable smart phone device should look at getting a Blackberry,
the winner of our Android vs. BlackBerry comparison because me too is a
Blackberry user.
The power of positive thinking
Have you ever thought about the fact that there is never a moment when you are not thinking—that whatever happens in this world begins with a thought? Here are five simple steps to help you manage your thoughts and achieve success and happiness in life.
Positive thinking is a mental attitude that admits into the mind thoughts, words and images that are conductive to growth, expansion and success. It is a mental attitude that expects good and favorable results. A positive mind anticipates happiness, joy, health and a successful outcome of every situation and action. Whatever the mind expects, it finds.
Not everyone accepts or believes in positive thinking. Some consider the subject as just nonsense, and others scoff at people who believe and accept it. Among the people who accept it, not many know how to use it effectively to get results. Yet, it seems that many are becoming attracted to this subject, as evidenced by the many books, lectures and courses about it. This is a subject that is gaining popularity.
It is quite common to hear people say: "Think positive!", to someone who feels down and worried. Most people do not take these words seriously, as they do not know what they really mean, or do not consider them as useful and effective. How many people do you know, who stop to think what the power of positive thinking means?

Sitting Ducks of India
On August 15 this year, she tweeted: “Happy Independence Day. “Proud to be an Indian.” The next day, she was found dead in her own car. She was Shehla Masood, a prominent Right to Information activist and Anna Hazare’s supporter. She was shot at point blank range in broad daylight outside her residence just after she asked for protection from the respective police department. Still it’s been months that CBI took over the case but they are not in a position to catch root of the crime.
On 5 November 2011, Nadeem Saiyed of Ahmadabad was brutally killed after being stabbed twenty five times. He filed about 40 RTIs with the Ahmadabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) between 2006 and 2009, asking questions on illegal cow slaughter and beef trade in the state. In July a Right to Information (RTI) activist Amit Jethwa who was fighting against illegal mining, which includes several politicians, was killed near the Gujarat High Court by unidentified men. Ahmedabad police official said that some unidentified men on a motorcycle fired at Jethwa.
At least 13 RTI activists are killed since 2011, apparently in revengeful attacks. RTI activists, labelled as sitting ducks in India, have paid the ultimate price for asking persistent and uncomfortable queries to higher authorities. Most of RTI activists have been murdered while some have faced serious physical attacks, exploitation under false charges to suppress their voices and some have also experienced social banishment.
RTI activists are not necessarily part of any organisation or group. They often act alone, moved by outrage against corruption and other illegal activities. The activists are extremely vulnerable as they live in the same areas as the corrupt public authorities, political leaders and mafia who do not want information about their illegal activities to be disclosed. It’s freaking sad that the activists come to the media attention only when killed, maimed or battling for life.

Uttar Pradesh elections – some challenges facing Akhilesh Yadav
In the 1984 elections, after the sudden death by assassination of Indira Gandhi, her son became the new Prime Minister and in the polls soon after, he got an astounding number of parliamentary seats giving him a huge majority – with 411 MP’s out of a total possible of 543, this was a huge mandate that he got. However, due to some misguided policies and some wrong steps (opening the locks of the Ram Janambhoomi, the Muslim Personal Law Bill, the huge controversy over the Bofors deal and a group of advisors who did nothing but mis-manage his relations with the country and the media). By the time of the 1989 elections, the support for Rajiv Gandhi and the Congress significantly declined to 197 seats.
The above example just shows that just because a party gets a huge number of seats in a particular election does not mean that this honeymoon will carry over into the next election. In fact, closer home in Uttar Pradesh, the performance of BSP in the 2007 election and then in the recent elections shows how fickle public support can be. Now, with the Samajwadi Party making a huge win in the elections, and then nominating Akhilesh Yadav to be the Chief Minister, the SP can set the ground for continuing this winning way in the future, or crash and burn in the next few years.

The Place of Women in Indian Society .
Ours is a hypocritical society:
We say one thing. We do some thing other. We profess morality. We preach values. Honour our womenfolk. We place them on a lofty platform. We recite scriptures in their honour. We sing in praise of Sita, Savitri and Damayanti But we are hollow within. We have given equal rights to our women in our constitution. We talk of women liberation movement. But it is a sad reality that our women are slaves as they were ages ago. It is pleasant to talk about women liberation but no one gives them real freedom.

But it is a sad reality that our women are slaves as they were ages ago. It is pleasant to talk about women liberation but no one gives them real freedom.
India is a male dominated society:
Boys are preferred to daughters. Men are superior to women. Man governs unquestioned. The son is always honoured. But why? He will bring us a rich dowry. He will earn for his parents. He will give shelter to his aged parents. He will carry on his father's generation.
What an illustrious achievement! It is a fact universally acknowledged in India that sons are as sincere as daughters. It is also true that sons barring exception send out their aged parents when the later are unable to work, sons inherit their father's wealth.
Daughters are a curse:
Parents have to arrange large dowry for them. Daughters are treated as liabilities. It is true to some extent. We have to check the menace of dowry. Girls should reject dowry-hunters. They should organize themselves and fight man injustice against women. They should fight against cruel social inequalities heaped on them. They should women be molested, raped and humiliated in public? Why should not they raise their voice against such injustices?
Women have to be given economic independence to begin with:
Freedom without economic freedom is meaningless. Not to speak of unemployed women, even the employed ones have to depend on husband or in-laws for money. Employed women can't spend their income as they choose. They work for their in-laws. They have to work at home like drudges. They have to do the entire household job.
Women live in eternal slavery:
A sister has to depend upon his brother. A daughter has to seek her father's permission for taking up a job. A wife has to move with her husband's and her in-laws permission. A mother dependent on her sons and husband. A widow can't move without her son. Thus we have convinced out women that they are essentially was creatures and they need male support for their living.
Polygamy is allowed to men:
A man can marry as many times as he likes. Society keeps its mouth shut. But monogamy is a women's privilege. Widows are hated and insulted in this great country. Widow marriage yet to get social sanction.
A woman can't move freely:
A freedom seeking woman is considered as an adulteress and temptress. All social taboos are meant for women has to suffer social inhibitions in every field.
It is a fact that we have now women in leading positions in all respectable fields. And mind, they are not inferior to men. Smt. Indra Gandhi was the strongest Prime Minister in the world of men. Men failed but she succeeded. But as a woman she suffered a lot.
We have women engineers, women doctors, women architects, and woman administrators. The world belongs to women but it is sad that their home does not belong to them. Women are free to choose their career but how many? Very few of them are notionally free and that to in the metropolitan cities.
The village women are yet to see light to western freedom. They work like their cattle in the fields. Very few intellectual women are partly free an; 1 too in some spheres. To sum up, women are yet to get their rightful place in the Indian society. They will have to rise in revolt and end monopoly.

Feel the Pain
I feel estranged when people starts blaming their fate for every bad situation. I mean how they get enough time to blame their fate at the time, when they need to find solutions for the concerned problems. No matter how minor or major the problem is, everyone keeps on saying ‘meri kismet kharab hai’. If kismet (fate) plays such an important role in one’s life, then why people work hard for their survival. I mean they can leave everything on their fate.
Imagine a world where one gets everything without struggle, pain and hassle. He will enjoy such things for a certain period. Slowly but surely, the adventure and excitement in life will diminish. The day will come, when life will loose all its charm. Everyday will be the same day and this will led to the extreme state of boredom.
Whenever things go wrong, one should think “Zyada se zyada kya hoga” and this takes us to the extreme height of happenings. Then whatever the result may be, it will be less then what you expected. Learn to enjoy the hardness of life, then automatically you will be blessed with the soft side of life.
An idea??
The world is going through a financial crises and so is the
common man. But this is not the first time that such an economic crunch has
happend and whenever it has happend before it has also been quit favourable for
a small fraction of the society. What is so special about this fraction? It is
only the fact that they did not course the world market and sit back. And nor
did they devise new plans to save capital and assets like many others. So what
did they do? They thought differently. There thinking made them distinct. That
is why today they are established people. Did you know 30% of the
multinationals that exist today were set up in the time of financial crunch. In
the commercial market the most valuable commodity that exist is called an idea.
People sell ideas for billions, and incredibly they do get buyers!!. Nowadays,
companies and media like Goolge and Economic Times run initiatives to literally
‘purchase’ ideas and promote them. Initiatives from the ingenious media totally
like Lead India and Teach India sell like hotcakes. Why are ideas so valuable?
This is because,
In today’s highly competitive commercial market, intelligent
ideas are highly sought after. A modern-daymultination brand cannot afford to
advertise itself through a typical rhyme of the nineties, and nor can they do
by just keeping-in a few stars or
sportmen like Sachin Tendulkar and MSDhoni. Along with famous faces,they also
need breakthrough ad-scripts.
A recent hotcake concept was that of the chairman of Ontend Creative Partners-Stephen
C.Lundin,also a business school professor and author of the
bestselling FISH philosophy. He describes “FISH” philosophy in his own
words: The idea behind the “FISH” philosophy was derived at a fish market in
Seattle. This market creates such a
powerful experience that it has become an international tourist
destination. People from all over all
over the world travel to Settle to hang out with a group of happy and motivated
fish mongers. The philosophy descaribes
the essence of what constitutes a
workplace with a high level of natural energy.
We labelled the ingredients found in the fish market, ingredients that
are found in a work place that has a high quality of work and an amazing connections with workers. We called the
ingredients ‘Play’, ‘Make their day’, ‘Be there’ and ‘Choose your Attitude’’’.
How has he followed this discipline? : “People ask me how I
can have so much fun when things are so bad. A few years ago, my girl was
killed in a car accident with a drunk driver. I made my choice. No matter how
things were, I was alive. The fish! Philosophy is free. It honours life. It is
a source of energy which leads to productivity and it creates an enovation
promoting environment. And that my friend is the power of ideas.
