It isn't about learning anymore

  "When we start to see classmates as threats instead of teammates, we lose what education is meant to build: connection, compassion, creativity" The temples of education have turned into battlegrounds where everyday is a challenge to prove ourselves to be the best of the best. The unrealistic expectations for academic performance, peer pressure, bullying, social status, the sense of inferiority that seeps into us when we see others  performing better than us breaks our confidence. The over-the-top expectations  we have from ourselves, the dread of not being able to repay even  0.01% of what our parents have given up for us, eats us alive little by little pushing us into an endless void of self-loathing and self destruction. Every friend in the room is a silent-competitor competing with the one they share their secrets with. Chocolates shared among friends taste bitter now, the laughter and joy short lived as the sadistic urge to be at the top rises again. We silentl...

Are Celebrities Responsible For The Brands They Endrose?

"Don’t let eloquent words cloud your protective skepticism." Celebrities and influencers are often considered responsible for the products they endorse, especially if those endorsements are harmful or misleading. The Supreme Court has stated that celebrities and influencers are liable for misleading advertisements, and they should exercise due diligence to verify the veracity of the claims before endorsing a product.  We have always looked up to our favoured celebrities and gotten highly (and blindly) influenced by them in many ways, from  copying Salman khan's infamous Radhe hairstyle to  trying to speak and talk like them and even going to an extent of  getting cosmetic surgeries done to look like them without considering the adversities of these situations.  We try to incorporate everything they say or do to our own everyday lifestyles without giving it a second thought, and what happens when things go south? when the damage is beyond repair? we start blaming...

Importance of Personality Development classes in School

"Personality has the power to uplift, the power to depress, the power to curse, and the power to bless".- Paul P. Harris. Personality is an individual's unique set of characteristics, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It makes a person who they are and how they interact with the world. Personality development classes at a young age are fundamental. Personality Development helps us to succeed both in our personal as well as professional lives. It makes people self-aware of their weaknesses and strengths and makes them confident enough to share their own personal thoughts and views. It enhances our communication skills.

Communicating effectively is a key part of leadership. We learn to adapt to changes and difficult feelings and get opportunities to expand our horizons. It makes ...

Why Vlog when we can Blog?

  “The scariest moment is always just before you start.” —Stephen King Blog is short for 'weblog,' which means logging into the web. People use blogs to share personal thoughts and experiences with a small audience. A vlog is a video blog or video log where you share information, facts, stories, and opinions through video instead of written texts. The most obvious difference between them, of course, is the format. The visual format of vlogs lets us showcase our thoughts, personalities, expressions, and voices, making the content more dynamic. Writing a blog and watching a vlog is the same as reading a book and watching a movie. Many prefer the latter as it doesn't require the extra labor of imagining. In a world where even 60 seconds is too long, people prefer mini vlogs over full-length vlogs and forget about reading blogs. Though vlogs are more dynamic, provides a personal connection, visually appeals to the audiences, and are social media friendly. Vlogging is time-consu...

MAHAAMRUT: Human Placental Extract A Protective Shield From Our Mother.

According to WHO, the placenta as a human tissue is a pathological as well as hazardous health-care waste that must be handled carefully.  Soon after birth, it becomes serious medical waste capable of harboring and transmitting viral particles, and bacteria. It could become a good culture medium for these organisms if not disposed of properly, hence, a potential health and environmental hazard. The placenta plays a key role in supplying oxygen and nutrients, eliminating waste products, and providing  strong endocrine support for pregnancy through hormonal secretions and immunological functions that protect the developing embryo. This project aims at converting this biomedical waste product into life saving source by proper preservation and processing of the human placenta to isolate peptides, hormones, antibodies and most important of them all stem cells. The placental extract serves as a source of protein and hormones and contains several biologically active substances that e...
