Universal Children's Day

Image
Children all around the world need adults to help them, to protect them and to teach them their rights. Do you know what the Rights of the Child are? Every year, 20 November is Universal Children’s Day, a chance for all of us to learn how we can help the youngest, most vulnerable members of our communities. What was your childhood like? Childhood is a universal experience, something every adult across the world has gone through. For many, childhood is a time we are nostalgic for. It’s a time of curiosity, imagination, exploration and incredible development. The fact that you are reading this article possibly means that you had a fortunate childhood that shaped you into the motivated adult you are today – here, improving your English skills. But what helped to get you this far? Who inspired you along the way? For many of us, a special adult helped us to learn and grow as children and led us to love learning.

Tender Love Proposal

"Representative, collect ₹20 from each one in the class", said the Math teacher for the copies of study materials she made for the class, earlier.  And this guy was the representative, a cool and knowledgeable, straightforward and calm, not rough though stiff, a kind of a boy who is liked by everyone in the class, irrespective of gender, designation, good in studies or bad in studies.  He tends to follow rules closely which alienated him from others in the class. It's pretty good that one chooses Electronics and Communication Engineering(ECE) stream in which the girls' strength exceeds that of the boys.

Allama Mashriqi aka Inayatullah Khan Mashriqi(Sage of the East)  and Subhas Chandra Bose are two prominent leaders of the Indian sub-continent. Both of them fought against colonial rule with equal enthusiasm. However, in weaving together historical facts, some historians tend to credit one over the other. No doubt, Subhas Chandras Bose is a freedom fighter. But at the same time, we misrepresent or wipe out Mashriqi’s paramount role in the Indian freedom movement. Atleast now after several years of independence let's know about facts about that have been hidden from the public view. Bose and Mashriqi share many similarities. Mashriqi and Bose were both born in British India; Mashriqi in Amritsar (Punjab) , and Bose in Calcutta (Bengal) . The two men fought for the same cause – freedom from British colonial rule. Similarly, both of them believed that Gandhi’s methods were ineffective in overthrowing the colonial rulers and adopted military tactics. Consideri...
