Manual scavenging – the worst surviving symbol of untouchability

Image
“No modern country in the world forces human being to enter sewers to clean. Why then does India use manual scavenging? It is because we have caste which has for ages been forced to do it for minimal pay”                                                                                                                                                                               --  Dilip Mondal (poet and activist) We regard many professions with high dignity. Some of them are    Civil Servants,  Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers ...

SARS-Corona virus diseased and deceased numbers have reached more than 82,000 across the globe. Discussing about pathogen, carrier or mode of transmission, Symptoms, treatment, precaution and control measures has been extensively analyzed in almost all media. Despite it, some information regarding mode of transformation and treatment are seems ambiguous. Health care professional’s claim virus was initially transmitted from under cooked meat.

Environment day Writeups

Life of a pachyderm At a time before the dawn, it was dark and misty all over the place. The herd of elephants were seen with their calves moving at a steady pace. The elephants were migrating from one patch of the forest to another which they do quite often to escape hunger due to less availability of resources. Amongst the herd, a mother Elephant was seen more cautious with two of its own baby elephants and was more protective than others. There was a reason for such cautiousness.  Years back when this mother elephant was young and was moving in the same manner with its mother in search of food, it lost its brother in a train accident. Such incidents often occur when elephants migrate. Some die because of the train, some in road accidents struck by a truck and some purposefully killed by the poachers. So the elephant knew that life was full of challenges and intuitively protected the calves all along the way her herd marched.  Miles of the untiring march had shrunk the herd’...

The Mystery of Pride

Image
Human beings are amazing creatures on earth, because of the influential nature that humans posses, we tend to impact and bring change in nature. The change sometimes is positive or negative. Billions now are threatened from a deadly disease called COVID 19 caused by a virus named ‘Corona’ and still we could control the situation following various ways like social distancing, lockdown, wearing mask etc. We feel proud of ourselves for the scientific development the human has attained so far and soon hope science to produce a vaccine for this deadly disease. We are proud of this nature of humans and with pride , we hope for the best in the coming months. What is pride?

Overall what pride gives us is a feeling of pleasure. Pride is also a belief that one is superior to ...

Shades of being Chapter 3

Image
The fault in our Stars (2014) film is memorable for many reasons. But in a scene when Augustus says that he fears about Oblivion, I felt myself in his place. As far as I can remember I am a dreamer of legacies. I always wanted to have an indelible print of my own being in this universe, eternally. When we grow, we accumulate the consciousness from winnings and losses and successes and failures. That consciousness will take us from the dreams into a situation of reality. The successes make us excited to achieve the legacies of own where generations are going to remember us, celebrate us. Then the fear of Oblivion comes from every failure we face in our ambitious path. I have my fair share of both sides of the spectrum. I had to choose a path which will, in turn, give me an eternal place in this overcrowded multi-complex world. The choices were business, community service or even becoming a celebrity of a kind. I have tried all of them. When you are in a full of energy witho...

'Positivity is all what we need'

Image
                                Image credit @Ashika                      My short insight on  positive attitude  I have seen many people struggle to step forward in their life. People do not suffer since they run out of money or they pertain to a particular caste or religion. Lack of positivism is the sole reason behind almost all sufferings. We take care of our body with physical exercise so as, mental health must also be trained to gain positive attitude. This positivity has helped me support my family and friends in different ways. When you are positive you keep your surrounding in the same manner. You attract positive things more and persons with such positive attitude get attracted to you. Everybody tend to follow a certain religion, we may name it differently but the ultimate thing which gives us deep insight on wh...

Are you aware of Dust bins?

Image
When I watch people daily who are engulfed in their busy schedule I feel pity. They are so busy going to their workplace, schools and colleges with lots of work to be done on most part of the day. In this busy schedule is it possible to ask whether she/he is aware of dust bins. No I am not joking. I’m damn serious. If at all I prove successful in asking this question that will only be with a result of a blow on my nose as a reward. Is a dustbin so important to us in this busy world? I can hear you! The horrible thing in our country is the fate of the dustbins. We people tend to use things for which they are meant for. Sometimes use for which they’re not meant also. We even use the same thing for multiple works to be done. Perhaps could you imagine a thing which has its presence and often unused (I don’t mean your brain). Yeah unused, haven’t you seen trashes thrown everywhere except the exact place for which it is meant for? Ok, I think I have prompted most of you about th...

Food, clothing and shelter are basic needs of a human to survive on earth. When these three important human needs are once satisfied we are fulfilled for an extent and urge for something that will make our lives enthusiastic. There are different things that make our life enthusiastic, some of them are sports, music, dance, songs, movies, painting etc. We have made entertainment as a part and parcel of our daily lives. It is true that with entertainment in regular interval, helps us to boost activities in our daily life and resists boredom in regular life. The entertainment is not common for all, people select their mode of entertainment based on their interests and even based on money in hand. One such entertainment that is most common for all of us is watching movies. This entertainment is common for all, it does not differentiate based on age group, gender, religion, caste, creed or how rich and a poor one is. Movies are made for different categories of people all around the year b...

Shades of being chapter 4 on Love

Image
Recommended by a science fiction voyager, I had the chance to watch the movie titled “Coherence” (2013). A low budget highly intelligent content and execution which deserves a couple of hours of our time. To be frank, I could not get grip on the science angle the movie uses to execute its story. But the human emotions it touches make us think another dimension of love. The movie indirectly questions the concept of love: “whether we love the object as we perceive or the person as s(he) is? We, humans but curious, generally are fond of the matters which make us comfortable and ‘isms’ behind the heavenly imaginations. Apart from those curiosities, the need of emotions coming out of ‘wanting to be accepted’ or ‘wanting to be right’ lead us to seek the “Love”. To me, love became an archived boring institution strengthened by a relentless number of stories from books, movies and our pessimistic views about humans. The concepts of eternal love or divine love are clandestinely used to create e...
