BLACK LIVES MATTER           " I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character”. ----MARTIN LUTHER KING                      The George Floyd protests are an ongoing series of protests and civil unrest which began in Minneapolis in the United States on May 26, 2020. The protests began as part of the responses to the killing of George Floyd, a 46-year-old African-American who was killed during an arrest after Derek Chauvin, a Minneapolis Police Department officer, knelt on Floyd's neck for nearly eight minutes as three other officers looked on.           The incident once again brought to the fore concerns over the law enforcement’s bias against the African American minority, with Floyd’s death being cited as the most recent incident of racially-driven polic...

THE MOST SHOCKING GUILT        "When human acts with cruelty we characterize them as 'animals', yet the only animal that displays cruelty, is humans" We all know that animals have equal rights and freedom as humans. However we, the humans are covering the guilts we have done to the animals. Animals are the most important creature. But sometimes we all forgot that and act as we know nothing about it. We have to treat the animals as a human child, no matter it's wild or domestic.        Few months ago we all heard about the most heart touching animal abuse case. It was not happened in any other countries or states. It just happened in the "God's own country" Kerala. It is so shameful that it just happened in our own neighboring place. It was an elephant which was pregnant. The cruelty of humans have killed both the lives and also the belief of animals towards us.They tortured the innocence of an animal.They gave a pineapple filled with e...

Recently while I was going through the social media I found a poem which gives us hope. So I thought of sharing it with you. * Just Wait For The Sun* _When everything's darkness_ _And you feel so alone,_ _When the rain doesn't stop_ _And you can't make it home,_ _When it feels all is lost_ _And you just want to run,_ _It can't rain forever._ _Just wait for the sun._ _When family is pain,_ _When friends can't be found,_ _When you just want to scream_ _But you can't find the sound,_ _When it's all your fault,_ _And you feel like you're done,_ _Just wait for the sun._ _The sunshine will come._ _The storm always passes._ _It won't last forever._ _The rain always stops and gives way to good weather._ _The brightest and warmest of days still to come._ _Please wait for the sun._ _The sunshine will come._ _People who need you,_ _People who still love you_ _Can warm up your soul like the sunshine above you._ _You're never alone,_ _No matter what's don...

Who is the happiest man in the world? If you Google it, the name "Matthieu Ricard" pops up. Matthieu Ricard, 69, is a Tibetan Buddhist monk originally from France who has been called "the world's happiest man." That's because he participated in a 12-year brain study on meditation and compassion led by a neuroscientist from the University of Wisconsin, Richard Davidson. Davidson hooked up Ricard's head to 256 sensors and found that when Ricard was meditating on compassion, his mind was unusually light.  Ricard — who says he sometimes meditates for entire days without getting bored — admits he's a generally happy person (although he feels his "happiest man" title is a media-driven overstatement).  He spoke with Business Insider at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Here's his advice for how to be happy. To Ricard, the answer comes down to altruism. The reason is because thinking about yourself, and how to make things better f...

STOPPING BY THE WOODS ON A SNOWY EVENING Whose woods these are I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see woodsopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound's the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep. MY  NOVEMBER GUEST My Sorrow, when she's here with me, Thinks these dark days of autumn rain Are beautiful as days can be; She loves the bare, the withered tree; She walks the sodden pasture lane. Her pleasure will not let me stay. She talks and I am fain to list: She's glad the birds are gone away, She's glad her simple worsted grey Is silver now with clinging mist. The desolate, deserted trees, The faded...

 World Rose Day is annually celebrated on September 22 in dedication to the welfare of cancer patients. On this day, people around the world work towards bringing cheer and hope into the lives of all those people who have been affected by cancer. More importantly, it seeks to remind patients and their caregivers, that they are not alone in this battle against the deadly disease. Cancer treatments are quite tasking on the body and mind of those who have been affected. With the changes their bodies encounter and the sheer mental trauma of being ravaged by this disease can wreak havoc with most people. According to Dr. Ganapathi Bhat, Consultant Medical Oncologist and Stem cell Transplant Physician at Jaslok Hospital & Research Centre, “The financial costs associated with cancer are often overwhelming. Cancer affects a person’s diet and eating habits in many ways. The illness can in itself cause weight loss, lack of appetite or other problems associated with eating. Cancer also of...
