Religion

Religion conflict
Religion is the biggest emotional sentiment in a country like India.  A country wherein a culture is diverse and people worship various gods and goddesses, a religion conflict is inevitable.
The religions if studied properly and the beliefs if implied congruously never promotes violence or chaos in any the human life. Peace, respect, harmony, is the base of all the religions.
But then why a conflict?
Different religions, different worshipers, different beliefs but the mutual tie up is that each religion dials up humanity at its first. People have taken religion as a weapon to fulfil their own needs and to satisfy their ego. Greediness has risen in the minds of people which they dauntlessly relate to the religion's need.
If you kill a cow, Hindus hostile
If you kill a pig, Muslims hostile
But killing a human in the name of religion is peace and it gives security to a particular religion.
The world peace has been drastically traumatised which is quite evident. Religious conflicts not only leave its scars on individuals but it also affects the world as an entity. Killing each other in the name if religion is giving rise to a whole new religion where the God is the human who is serving the evil indirectly.
Religion is no more an inner peace it is now whose ego is more challenging to the other.

Do not Abandon

You know what's bad?
Abandoning!
You abandon your partner.
You abandon your pet.
You abandon your friend.
You abandon your lover.
You abandon your parents.
You abandon your child.
You abandon your family.
And sometimes
You abandon yourself.
But you know what's worse?
When you don't really know why you're abandoning. When everything and everyone becomes vague for you, you just abandon.

Euthanasia

According to Wikipedia- “Euthanasia is the practice of intentionally ending a life in order to relieve pain and suffering.”

Let me start with an example. Guzaarish was a very famous Hindi movie released back in 2010 which was written, directed and composed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. It is the story of a once renowned yet now paralyzed magician who pleas in the court to allow him to end his life. When the court denied to give permission he proved his state of being by almost suffocating a lawyer and then speaking the most magnificent dialogue of the movie by saying-“You couldn’t even live five minutes of my life but you expect me to go on like this till my death.”

There are various angles to this concept. In some countries this not at all permitted no matter how severe the case is. In some countries the doctor is allowed to take a patient’s life, only if the patient requests the doctor to do so. In some countries the family members can intervene in this and ask the doctor to end the patient’s life to liberate him from all the pains and sufferings. So according to all this, euthanasia can be voluntary and involuntary. Voluntary euthanasia is legal in some countries whereas involuntary euthanasia is illegal in every country. Involuntary euthanasia is generally considered as murder.

The supporters of euthanasia come up with points that an individual is mature enough to take decisions of his own life. So he should be allowed to determine what happens to him. At times, assisting a subject to die is better than forcing him to go through the pains. And permitting euthanasia will not necessarily lead to unacceptable consequences.

The opponents of euthanasia reject the above points by saying that not all deaths are painful. At times the pain can be controlled by professional help from the doctors. Most importantly, legalising euthanasia places society on a slippery slope. Anyone can use it for their own benefits. For example, if someone actually wants to commit suicide or when the family members fail to pay the fees of hospital and they decide to kill the patient or when people want to get rid of someone.

In my opinion, euthanasia should not be legalized. It should be allowed only in some special cases where only the patient will have a say and not even the family members. Infect at times, doctors in spite of being requested by the family members to terminate a patient’s life, continue to provide the person with life supporting system on humanitarian basis.  Every person has the right to live and his/her right to live should only be terminated by the almighty or by himself/herself.

A Teachers Value

A person who is seen as a nation-builder, who is expected to fulfill his or her duties in and outside the educational propaganda, who is the one of those many factors for a person’s career and who is very responsible for the growth of a country morally, ethically and intellectually: he or she is none other than a teacher.

An edutopia is something that every student craves for. A teacher can only come up with ideas to fulfill this fantasy which would otherwise seem bizarre. The teacher not only should be a teacher but should also be able to play a role of a friend who can stand with his/her students in their sorrows and their bereavements. The major goals in education can be stated in terms of pre-acquired knowledge and the knowledge yet to achieve. Great teachers somewhere are the mediators between these two stages. They build the bridge to connect these two. It is rightly said that:

“Teachers are those candles who burn themselves to give light to their students.”

A great teacher ensures that his/her student is brought up in a nurturing as well as a challenging environment. The young sapling in the form of students must face the coolness of the water that is poured on them as well as the hotness of the sunlight that is essential for their growth.

The teacher needs to create a welcoming and not a hostile learning environment. Every student’s view no matter how minimal, should be given importance. A teacher irrespective of his/her intellect and degrees, must take the teaching process as bidirectional. S/He should always be ready for the new things that s/he can learn from the students.

A teacher must create a sense of belonging in the classroom. Nobody, irrespective of their intellect, should feel alienated. Each student should feel that s/he is an integral part of the entire group and his/her presence is absolutely necessary for the educational outcome to be fruitful. A teacher should be away from any personal bias and should treat every student equally. Great teachers must also be good listeners. They should take time out of their way-too busy schedule to be available for their students. One of the abilities of a great teacher which can never be neglected is the ability to leave his/her personal baggage outside. Even if it is a bad day for the teachers, nobody gets to know. The teacher should impact in each child the desire to fulfill his or her dreams. The teachers must elicit their students’ best efforts and should always try to keep their mind engaged, so that even if they leave the classrooms they must feel alive with the fountains of new and innovative ideas. The teachers most importantly should walk their own talk.

These are some of the characteristics that the teachers must carry within themselves. But there are also some technicalities that a teacher must adapt in order to make his/her class even better.

In spite of being theoretical about concepts, a teacher must focus on vocational education. We might forget something that we hear as it involves application of only one sense organ, but if we are allowed to experiment on the same or see it live then the concept is expected to stay longer as we had all our sense organs working in the same direction.

A teacher is the fountain head of all knowledge. There is no doubt that s/he would know almost everything. But it is very important that the teachers must focus on bringing out the answers from the students. It is obvious that every student has some pre-acquired knowledge, attitude and skills. A great teacher must emphasis on taking that pre-acquired knowledge forward. This will not only raise the student’s confidence but also it will help the students in thinking more and more.

A teacher must know how to incorporate different teaching styles when one is not working. For ex: If an English teachers wants his/her students to feel the play, then that would never ever be possible if s/he simply reads out the play in front of the students. S/he must allot the students roles, so that when they play it, they feel it too. By this there is also one more advantage, i.e., they remember the lines of the play which not only allows them to fetch good marks in the exams but will also help them in the nearby future.

A teacher must show the excitement to co-learn which will make his/her students feel comfortable to express their own views and opinions.

A teacher must be like a compass which activates the magnets of curiosity, knowledge, intellect and wisdom. A teacher can give students assignments which should be different from others. In the technical 21st century, use of internet to jot down things that have already been done, has become a fashion. To stop students from committing a sin like plagiarism, a teacher must introduce new and unique topics for the assignments. For ex: A student living in a certain locality can conduct a survey on that exact locality regarding something. This assignment for sure will not be available in any corner of the internet. This will not only make the assignment new and unique, it will also provide the student with a chance to know his/her surroundings better.

A teacher at times can take the help of guest speakers, who have expertise in particular fields. These lectures will help the students create an interest to know more and more about that particular topic. To make the assignments more interesting, teachers can ask the students to search it in a crossword puzzle, or in a collage or in a poster or jigsaw puzzle maps. The teachers must teach the student to read through the lines so that they get more detailed information than the rest of the world. Use of various aids like visual aids, recordings will help them in understanding the topics or the concepts.

I will conclude this with a thought that:

“A warrior wins the battle only if his weapons are pioneering, in this modern world the teacher is a warrior, with the educational propaganda as his/her battle field and the teaching methods as well as his/her characteristics as his/her only weapons.”

Friends Tv Series

Friends Tv Series ain't seen nothing like this ever before. This is so much more than a TV Series for those who have seen it. It was this day when I started to see six friends hanging out together day and night at a coffee place. I was astounded to see it like this. We all in our life tend to make friends on and often. Everybody wishes to be the most popular and liked one in his or her clan. But the reality is we really need a t few people whom we can always trust on. This is maybe an era of despondency for those people who are striving to find happiness in the outside world. We all must know that a person is happy when it's happy inside. If you're happy and you perform good deeds, you're life will be no less than what you want it to be. Friends not only taught me how to deal with problems it has also taught me to be happy and laugh at the problems which drops by in our lives sometimes. Nothing ever is a permanent ending. There's always a scope for the sun to shine and you must feel its warmth then. Be as loving as Ross Geller Be as crazy as Phoebe Buffay Be as neat as Monica Geller Be as jolly as Joey Tribbiani Be as funny as Chandler Bing Be as beautiful as Rachel Green Life is the most precious gift. You choose to luxuriate in it or you detest it and cry.

The "De-Bait" (Trump VS Clinton)

This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

USA's Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton being the hottest topic in the global village has now set a trend to form a "Debate" into a "De-Bait" according to me. Mr.Trump has been continuously accusing Clinton of deleting the e-mails sent to her. The emails which were sent or received by Clinton were being stored on one private server. When being asked for the records from her time as secretary of state, Clinton on the astute mode ordered her lawyers to give the State Department all of her "work-related" emails.

On the other hand Clinton kept on accusing Trump for the "locker room talk" wherein Trump's been pivoting Bill Clinton's (husband of Hillary Clinton) 2005 tape which showed three women being assaulted by Bill Clinton.

"If you look at Bill Clinton, it was worse, mine was words, his was actions." says Trump "What he's done to women, there's never been anyone in the history of politics that's been so abusive," he added
Hillary Clinton in response quoted Michelle Obama: "When they go low, you go high" refusing to take the bait.
If we take the view point of Trump he's been always a strong and confident person when it came to his idea of taking the law into his hands. He's no doubt a outspoken and short-tempered person but he clearly defines his goals for the country.
Hillary Clinton on the other hand has been continuously receiving appraisal for her calm and serene nature. She believes in actions unlike Trump who is out spoken and aggressive. Clinton's only flaw could be her introvert nature when it comes to the country's goals and the ways of accomplishing the goals would surely turn out as a disadvantage for her during the elections.

The debates are nothing but a bait which is alluring the minds of people and swaying it in a way which is a lot confusing for the citizens of The United States to understand who is being the chameleon at present.
The "Debate" has surely turned into a "De-Bait" at this moment of time.

Point of view

This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

People talk about westernization. They talk about being open minded. They set up camps, seminars, workshops and what not in a hope of seeing to change people's mentality. But the fact is everything's just so screwed up. Nothing works for these kinda hypocrites. The mentality sticks to a thing wherein a guy has to be just a girl's brother. I ask this simple thing, which era are we actually living in? If a brother hugs his sister in public it's manners and protection and security for a girl but if a guy whom the girl really trust hugs her it's cheap, not the values of the family, and hey how dare you even touch her? You might be dangerous to her. You might wanna kill her. I'm not saying that the world outside is trustable I'm only saying if we try to trust each other we'll all end up having faith in each others decisions. I'm not saying we forget our values and degrade our self respect I'm only saying to try seeing things in an open perspective. A respect given is equal to a hundred times respect earned.
