Poem- Lekhak ki hasti (hindi)

यह मेरी हिंदी में पहली कविता है. उम्मीद है की आप को यह अच्छी लगे:- वह चींटी जब निकलती है बांबी से , वह कोयल जब पंख फड़फड़ा कर गाती है मधुर वाणी से , वह बादल जब कोहरे के साथ प्रतीत होता है भोर आने से , विशाल तपोवन में जब सुंदर फूल खिलते हैं वसंत आने से , वह मोर जब  गहन गर्जन  के धुन में बेफिक्र नाचती हैं , वर्षा आने से  इन की अनुभूति  करना ही   कवी  की   कला  है।

How an eraser can change our life...

Perhaps one of the most under-rated accessories in our lives is the eraser. You would recall using it most frequently in my younger days, when you wrote alphabets, words and sentences in an incorrect manner, and were forced to erase them and rewrite them correctly. As we grow older, we begin using pens, and the use of the eraser becomes obsolete. But, have you ever thought about the various life-lessons an easily dispensable eraser can teach us? Well, it indeed can. Let us see how... Source- India Mart An eraser is cuboidal in shape when we initially purchase it. Most erasers are white in colour. When I was young, I would admire the pure white colour on its surface. How I wished everything was white like that eraser. In fact, at times, I even wanted darkness to be white in colour! The reason was simple- white is surely a much better than black. Why? Well, science has it that white is brighter than black. The white colour  As and when we use the eraser to remo...

BOOK REVIEW #THE MONK WHO SOLD HIS FERRARI

Source-createyourself.today                       "What lies behind you and what lies in front of you matters little when compared to what lies within you." These lines were perhaps the icing on the cake for what had been an amazing journey reading the book- The Monk Who Sold his Ferrar i, written by Robin Sharma . Having read his book 'The Greatness Guide' a few months back, I knew that I will surely enjoy reading his works, and was waiting to read 'The Monk who sold his Ferrari.' I had heard a lot about this book, and how it has helped so many people. it is widely proclaimed as one of the best self-help books. I felt that I must read this book too, and thus I got my hands on it. Truly, this book has left me mesmerised. Here is a complete review of this book:- MAIN CHARACTERS - John - He is the narrator of this tale. A professional lawyer and is rather frustrated with his job. He is a very inquis...

POEM- THE GIFT OF A YOUNGER BROTHER

Siblings are such an important part of our lives, aren't they? The joy of having a brother or a sister is second to none. Siblings bring more light into our lives, and fill life with more colour and happiness. I am blessed to have a younger brother; someone who keeps the house lively at all points of time. I learn a lot from him. His attitude towards life is worth admiring. His disposition of remaining calm under difficult circumstances is indeed remarkable.  Both of us are poles apart. I am an introvert, loving my own space. On the other hand, my brother is an extrovert. He just needs someone to be talking with him, and engaging him in some manner or the other. If he does not go down to play, you will soon find someone calling him down. His leadership qualities are indeed amazing, and children look up to him.  What matter more is that both of us have immense mutual respect. We understand that we have different strengths, and if we make optimal use of our strengths, we ...

Virat Kohli: A Class apart

                                                             Source- DNA India So inevitably, I had to write a blog on Virat Kohli and his stupendous achievements. Frankly speaking, I was waiting for the right time to write this blog; perhaps at a juncture when the Indian team wasn't playing any cricket matches. Unfortunately, the cricket calendar of our country is packed to such an extent that I hardly got an opportunity to write (It is a different thing that I was myself a little preoccupied!). I am writing this blog on 5th November 2018; Virat Kohli's 30th birthday. Currently, he is at the heights of success, and it is a good time to look back at what has been an outstanding last two or three years for this batting colossus.  In the 2nd ODI against West Indies in Vishakapatnam, Virat Kohli broke a host of recor...

Technology and Democracy- The importance of EVMs

Democracy basically stands for a rule of the people, by the people and for the people. People hold the idea of democracy very close to their hearts in order to ensure a just rule. Electoral politics is a very important aspect of a democracy, as it reinforces the very idea mentioned above. People get to choose their representatives, and also have the power to change them on a regular basis. Elections are all about giving people the opportunity to choose their representatives. The following characteristics must be ensured in order to bring about free and fair elections:-  (i)   Accuracy- The vote should go to the person or party which has been voted and not to anyone else. (ii) Anonymity- The voter's identity must not be disclosed. (iii) Scalability- It can be used to handle large elections. (iv) Speed of generation of results- Results must be generated quickly. It is more important to look closely at how the elections are conducted. Let us look at it from t...
