 “The true character of a society is revealed in how it treats its children!”~ Nelson Mandela In today's world, child sexual abuse is the most common safety concern among children, with severe implications for the child. It is still a difficult matter for society and parents, with the majority of parents hesitant to discuss the subject with their children. There is never a shortage of reports of young children (both boys and girls) being sexually molested by an elder they trust or a stranger. Physical, sexual, and/or psychological abuse or neglect of a child or children, particularly by a parent or care giver, is known as child abuse or child maltreatment. Child abuse can be defined as any act or failure to act by a parent or caregiver that causes actual or potential harm to a kid, and it can take place in the child's home, as well as in the organisations,schools, or communities with whom the child interacts. The issue is that they are completely unawar...

 World Health Organisation defines Health ‘as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity’. This definition gives ample vitality to the mental well-being of a person in terms of health. Mental health is a buzz word that crops up every now and then in the post pandemic scenario. Economic crisis, being cocooned in our house, fear and anxiety of the pandemic, all have escalated stress and anxiety in people. Many people were diagnosed with mild to severe depression and the period witnessed resultant suicides too. But until the recent years, mental health was not a concept that was given due importance.  It is still an undermined aspect. Physical pain is far more easily conveyed than mental pain and it often goes unnoticed. People are reluctant to convey their mental status in fear of being stigmatised. People are still hesitant to seek medical help for mental health issues and often it is too late when the issue get...

The hands of innovation have been able to defend even the character of the generation  We can read the world with our fingertrips in a minute  Let's set aside to one side everything Let's take a walk  Remember which we have forgotten around us The termite corrode the pages of tradition  True...  The foot prints on the walkway have faded  As we move forward without looking back,  the memories disappeared by the hurricane  The waves of the swing tied to the tree branch in the yard were snatched by the machine  The songs of the birds were caged  The heritage were solid  The Friendship tied in the finger  The fields were killed, and turned them to the skyscraper  The solace were reduced to the status  From where to start the remembrance?...  It's hard..  I have never come this way..! Where is my mobile?  Let's hold him in the hand  Forget about which I remembered that I forgot  Lines can be writte...

 Has Covid-19 made any change in your daily routine??? Of course it has! Before the curtain of 2021 falls, we must look back. It’s too long and miraculous to look beyond the memories we passed, as unbelievable things happened in our life. In a different sense it was screened in different ways. 2020 & 2021 were hard times for entire life forms in the world, because we were not able to do what we wanted, we were not able to travel to places we wanted to go, we were not able to see our loved ones, and all emotions were concealed behind a piece of ornament on our face which we call mask. The mask is not just a matter of safety; it's simply an object of agreement that if you're affected, I must defend myself and vice versa.  It was a dark era for the entire world, worse than many horrific wars. We were people who could not find happiness under one roof, but after spending a long period together with families, we realized the value of togetherness. The kids and old generation ar...

    Migration is a historic phenomenon which happens now and will happen tomorrow. It ensures, of course, overall development of the economy and also a serious problem associated with the social, economic and political life. Migration is the movement of people from one place to another which creates demographic redistribution of population. Migration is either internal or external. Internal migration denotes the movement of people from one place to another within the country, where as the external migration refers to the movement of people beyond the territory of a nation. Researchers identified the reason behind the push and pull factors of the migration.      Push factors are the factors which compel people to leave the native place and this happened largely due to the poor economic condition and lack of availability of better employment. Pull factors are the factors which encourage migration to an area exercised by better economic opportunities, facilities a...

Driving is a passion for many! Speeding the car, overtaking the vehicles racing ahead, offering no side to that which sounds horn from behind, enjoying the smooth road and cursing the rough one, gearing up to the top when no obstacle forbids your path and slowing down to climb up the slopes, so on and so forth. Have you ever made attempts to relate a car journey (or any vehicle) with the journey of life? Let us start the car! You are in the driving seat. First, adjust your seat and fasten your seat belt. Yes! The roller coaster is ready to take off. Slowly insert the key (kindly ignore, if you have a keyless one), apply the clutch, start the engine, release the handbrake and into the lane and off you go!  Drivers who are not seasoned might find the vehicle jerking and coming to an abrupt stop if the clutch is not applied properly. The current generation are in a hurry to accomplish their wants in a matter of a second. Remember to start slowly (Slow and steady wins the race). Once y...
