So, sit back and relax as we take you on a magical journey that’ll make you forget the outside world to be at peace.

Nestled on the banks of the sacred river Ganges, Varanasi is a city that breathes spirituality and ancient wisdom. With a history spanning over 3,000 years, this vibrant and colourful city is one of the oldest continuously inhabited places in the world.

Varanasi, also known as Kashi or Banaras, is a mesmerizing tapestry of culture, religion, and tradition that captivates the hearts and minds of visitors from around the globe.

My friend and I embarked on a journey from Delhi to Varanasi, seeking to immerse ourselves in the essence of spirituality and its timeless aura. The experience was nothing short of extraordinary, and I feel compelled to share it with all of you, dear readers. Varanasi, the oldest city, exuded a spiritual charm like no other, serving as a sacred hub of purity and ancient wisdom.

Varanasi has an illustrious past, steeped in mythology and revered by Hindus as the holiest city in India. According to Hindu belief, Lord Shiva, the deity of destruction and creation, chose Varanasi as his abode, making it a significant pilgrimage site for Hindus.

The city has witnessed the rise and fall of empires, the birth of religious movements, and the passage of great scholars and philosophers.

Our Journey to Varanasi Begins

In the fast-paced environment of a bustling metropolis like Delhi, finding moments of peace and relaxation can be a challenge. Therefore, for quite some time, we had been contemplating the idea of seeking a destination where we could experience both inner tranquillity and the enchanting essence of ancient times.

After thorough research and exploration of various options, we discovered that the city of Varanasi emerged as the perfect place to fulfil our aspirations. It promised to offer everything we sought, all in one enchanting location.

Varanasi offers various transportation options for travellers, including flights, buses, trains, and the possibility of a road trip. Considering our desire for a memorable journey, we opted to travel by train, as the Indian Railway has its own charm.

The anticipation built as we boarded the train in Delhi, knowing that the scenic route would enhance our experience. After a lengthy yet captivating journey, we finally arrived at our destination, Varanasi, ready to embark on a soul-enriching adventure.

The first day in Varanasi began with a refreshing morning, greeted by a stunning sunrise and blessed with enchanting weather. Embracing the moment, we hopped on a Rickshaw and made our way to Kashi Ghat, eagerly anticipating the golden rays dancing upon the sacred waters of the Ganga River.

The beauty of the surroundings was so captivating that all worries faded away, and we immersed ourselves in the serenity, savouring every moment of tranquillity.

Without any delay, we eagerly immerse ourselves in the holy waters of the Ganga, seeking purification through the sacred Snaan (Bath). Our fortunes smile upon us as a downpour blesses our journey, enhancing the joy of our experience.

Just as we had heard about Kashi, our experience there mirrored those stories. The sacred ambience enveloped us, surrounded by fervent Lord Shiva devotees chanting “Har Har Mahadev” everywhere, filling the atmosphere with divine energy.

Exploring Ancient Ghats & Temples

After a divine bath and savouring the breathtaking sunrise, we set out to plan our day’s itinerary. Prior to that, we secured a rented room near the revered Kashi Viswanath Temple. Our first destination was the Ghats, followed by some shopping for our family.

Later that day, we were accompanied by rain too.

Starting with Ghats exploration, we began at Dashaswamedh Ghat, a site steeped in Hindu mythology, as it is believed that Lord Brahma created it to welcome Lord Shiva.

This particular Ghat serves as the primary venue for the magnificent Ganga Arti, both in the morning and evening. Subsequently, we embarked on visits to other notable Ghats such as Assi Ghat, Raja Harishchandra Ghat, and Manikarnika Ghat, each with its unique significance and charm.

The banks of the Ganga River are adorned with around 84 Ghats. Among them, Manikarnika Ghat stands out as a place renowned for hosting the grandest cremation ceremonies. Interestingly, when witnessing these solemn rituals at Manikarnika Ghat, a unique sense of fearlessness enveloped me.

My mind transcended into a state of serenity, realizing that this is an undeniable truth inherent in our existence. It serves as a reminder that all of us shall one day confront mortality, leaving behind nothing but a few cherished family members.

After exploring the various Ghats, we excitedly set out to discover the cuisine of Varanasi. We kicked off our journey with refreshing Buttermilk (Lassi) served in traditional Kulladh, a clay-made glass.

After a variety of mouthwatering delicacies, we indulged in some shopping, delighting in the purchase of exquisite Banarasi Sarees, kurtas, and more.

Evening’s Ganga Arti Enchantments

The anticipation of the evening’s Ganga Arti had us eagerly awaiting the moment. To secure a good spot, we arrived an hour early, ensuring we wouldn’t miss a thing. As the sun dipped below the horizon and the enchanting Ganga Arti started, indescribable energy and a positive aura enveloped the atmosphere.

In that magical moment, all our worries and troubles seemed to vanish, as we immersed ourselves completely in the captivating experience.

At the end of our eventful day’s journey, we made a decision to visit a temple known as the abode of the Inspector of Kashi, Lord Bhairav. This divine figure holds the title of “Inspector of Kashi” because the local firmly believes that he tirelessly safeguards the city from all adversities.

Our amazement knew no bounds when we discovered that even in a police station in Varanasi, a reserved seat is kept for Lord Kal Bhairav. His presence and protection were evident throughout the city, leaving us in awe of the deep-rooted faith.

The following morning, during the serene hours, we set off to visit the sacred Kashi Vishwanath Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Owing to the temple’s strict rules, mobile phones and electronic devices were prohibited, allowing us to be fully present in the divine ambience.

Later, our journey led us to the historical site of Sarnath, where Gautama Buddha delivered his inaugural sermon.

It was an exhilarating adventure, as we explored both the divine energy of the temple and the profound historical significance of Sarnath. This remarkable experience impacted us, influencing our perspectives and reshaping our way of life.

As we are exploring Varanasi, you should also know these lesser-known facts about this ancient city.

We all are aware of women’s priority in our lives. I personally have strong faith in women because being a single man in between 4 women in my home, I have deeply observed their need and hard work to make a home-like home.

Women are another face of struggle and patience and their achievements are hidden from nobody. The whole world celebrates the 8th March every year as International Women’s Day to salute their achievements in history and also for spreading awareness regarding women’s rights and gender equality as well.

There’s no doubt that in the past, women were deprived of their rights, and from patriarchy to equal rights like men, women have come from a long struggle.

A Brief Explanation About International Women’s Day

IWD (International Women’s Day) is marked annually on the 8th of March to celebrate Women’s achievements and it also raises equality many NGOs also raise the funds for women’s welfare.

It has been observed since the 1900s but it took several years when officially world honored the first International Women’s Day. After various decisions agreed at Copenhagen in Denmark in 1911, the First International women’s Day was officially announced.

Various rallies campaigns for Women’s rights to vote took place, and as a result of it around 140 working women lost their lives in a Tragic Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York and then after so many discussions and campaigns, the world marked March 8th as INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY.

Why Still Women Empowerment Needs to be focused?

Albeit, women have made a different status in the world through their hard work and perseverance but still there are some inequalities that exist which should be taken into consideration some of them include-

Gender Pay Differences

It is an arduous battle for women to combat the stereotypes imposed by society and patriarchy. Despite deserving equal rights, women face unequal pay in various segments of our society, where their income is determined by their gender rather than their skills or knowledge.

Lack of job security

Women in India and around the world frequently experience job insecurity, particularly when it comes to being able to pursue their desired careers. Many people discourage them from seeking higher-skilled jobs and instead push them towards simpler roles.

Moreover, some companies do not invite them to return after taking maternity leave. Shouldn’t we be asking why this happens?

Surrounded by household works

The World Bank reports that although women contribute 66% of the world’s working hours, they receive only 10% of the world’s income. Furthermore, women are responsible for producing 50% of the world’s food, yet they only receive 1% of the income generated from it.

This stark disparity highlights the need for equal opportunities for women to showcase their skills and earn a fair income to support themselves and their families. It’s concerning how strange and unfair the situation is.

As we have stated in our previous blog posts, society plays a crucial role in the development of a nation. However, at times, it can be extremely harsh towards women. For example, in many rural areas, the practice of early marriage still exists despite numerous social revolutions.

When society crushes their opportunities to grow and thrive, many women end up feeling helpless and desperate. It’s even more heart-wrenching when a woman becomes a widow, as society often starts to question her character, limit her freedoms, and scrutinize her clothing choices.

Women already have their fair share of struggles in life, and it’s unfair to make their circumstances even more miserable.

Despite this, there are many women who break the stereotypes thinking and push their limits to new heights and today everyone is appreciating their work.

Women Who Have Changed The World

1. Sarla Thakral: First Indian woman to fly an aircraft (1914-2008)

Born in 1914 in New Delhi, Sarla Thakral did very hard work to become the first Indian woman to enter a cockpit. Even after her marriage at a very young age (16 years old) to Mr P.D Sharma she never lowered her expectations to fit into the world.

As a result in 1936 at the young age of 21, she earned an aviation pilot license and flew a GYPSY MOTH SOLO. She was a mother of a four-year-old daughter at that time.

After obtaining her initial license she completed 10000 hours of flying in the aircraft. Later she became a successful businesswoman, and painter and began designing clothes and jewellery.

2. Melitta Bentz: A German Business women

Born as Amalie Auguste Melitta Liebscher in 1873 in Dresden, Germany, Amalie Auguste Melitta Bentz was a German entrepreneur who achieved great success by inventing the coffee filter in 1908.

Despite being a housewife, her experimentation with various methods led her to use blotting paper from her son Willy’s school exercise book and a brass pot punctured with a nail, resulting in a less bitter coffee. This invention was a proud moment for everyone around her.

With true dedication and enthusiasm, she decided to establish her own business, ultimately becoming a successful German businesswoman. She named her company Melitta Group KG, which is still being run by her grandchildren to this day.

3. Simone Biles: A Successful American Gymnast

With an exceptional career record of 30 Olympic and world championship medals, Simone Arianne Biles not just made America proud but also set up inspiration for all of us. She was born in 1997 in Columbus Ohio, U.S.

Her parents were unable to take care of her. Therefore, along with her 4 siblings she went in and out of Foster care. Her maternal grandfather helped her a lot in her career building. He switched her from public schooling to homeschooling and allow her training of 22-32 hours per week. She is truly an inspiration for not only women but for every human being.

4. Anandi Gopal Joshi: First Indian Female practitioner of Western Medicine

Anandi Gopal Joshi was born on March 31, 1865, in Maharashtra, India. Anandi was married at the young age of 9 and became a widow at 14. Her husband’s death was due to the lack of medical facilities in the country, which inspired her to become a doctor.

With the support of her progressive husband, Gopalrao Joshi, Anandi sailed to the United States in 1883 to study medicine. She enrolled in the Women’s Medical College of Pennsylvania and earned her medical degree in 1886, becoming the first Indian woman to do so.

After completing her studies, she returned to India and started practicing medicine, primarily treating women and children. Unfortunately, Anandi’s life was cut short when she passed away from tuberculosis at the young age of 21. Despite her short career, Anandi Gopal Joshi’s pioneering efforts in the field of medicine have inspired countless women in India to pursue careers in medicine and other fields traditionally dominated by men.

5. Bessie Coleman: First African American Female Aviator (1892-1926)

Fighting discrimination Bessie Coleman was the first native African American to hold a pilot license. Her Childhood spends working on cotton farms with her father and along with that, she did her education at a small segregated school.

She had a deep interest in flying from her childhood but due to the lack of opportunities for African Americans and Women in the United States, she moved to France for Flight School. And then she never turned back and became a successful high-profile pilot. She was popularly known as Queen Bess and Brave Bessie.

She died in a plane crash in 1926. She played an inspirational role to early pilots and to the African Americans and Native Americans and all of us.

A women is like a tea bag- you can’t tell how strong she is untill you put her in hot water.

Eleanor roosevelt

Like the above quote, women cannot be undervalued just because they are not muscular. Their perseverance and optimism can’t be underestimated. A woman is a fighter and will always be a fighter. History tells us women are like lone wolves and they had turned small opportunities into big successes on their own.

Women play a critical role in our future and our sustainability because they are more than just human beings; they are entire worlds within themselves. From the earliest stages of life, a woman fulfils multiple roles as a daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother.

She is like a sponge that absorbs all the negativity around her. Therefore, on International Women’s Day, let us embrace a fresh perspective and challenge the stereotypes that limit our thinking.

If you really think that the post can make a change and so put your valuable feedback in a comment section and share as much as you can.

The above expression was used in the famous Instagram channel to narrate feminism in our country. According to them, putting allegations, showing cleavages, smoking/drinking in public, the late-night party are all integrated as feminism. Well, it’s their life, their choice who are we to judge? But some extra-minded people take the word feminism to a new height that may also claim someone’s life.

And I think just because of these people the word feminism is losing its originality. We are also a supporter of feminism but when it goes in the wrong hand, then it needs to be addressed.

Being a man I know these things and are not exactly what they are actually portraying. In just a few points I will try to clear the real image. And all these are my personal views regarding this fake feminism.

Meaning of Feminism

Before going further let us have a look at the real sense of feminism- “the advocacy of women’s rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes” this means that women as equal to men and should be given equal respect, care, and opportunity against men.

Women should be treated equally in all aspects. They’re also the pride of any country and sometimes deserve even more respect than what they actually get from our society.

Here are some extraordinary girls describing what feminism actually is.

• Kalpana Chawla an Indian astronaut
• Pratibha Patil honorable former President of India
• Sinha Nehwal and PV Sindhu both Olympic winners on Badminton.
• Hima Das(India’s Golden Girl) Olympic winner and sprinter
• Sarojini Naidu/ Durga Devi/ Rani Laxmi bai and many more.

They’re true pride in our country and will always be remembered for the work they’ve done to make us all proud.

But now my simple question is that have they ever asked about their freedom by blaming others and calling them perverts?

Is it really necessary to show cleavages, smoking/drinking, cheating, abusing elders who oppose them, and making a wrong image of feminism?

When Pseudo feminism become dangerous?

My personal belief is that feminism should be promoted. In fact, all of us need to take a stand against the wrongdoings happening in our society that are oppressing women for a very long time. And every woman should be given equal chances to express their talent.

But this isn’t as simple as it looks. The term ‘Feminism’ has some different sides too, the dark side. The side that is intentionally generated by some extra and money-minded people. There are people out there taking feminism in the wrong way. The way that may claim someone’s life too. We all are supporters of women’s empowerment but when it goes into the wrong hands the result turns to disaster. Like a recent case of Gurugram when a 17-year boy committed suicide when a feminist girl alleged him against molestation.

When feminism becomes fake?

Feminist words narrate the equality of women among others whereas pseudo-feminist asks for more and superiority among others, thinking other genders have no respect at all, basically, this is called Misandrist (which means Female> Male) not Feminist ( Female=Male). The major problem lies that pseudo-feminist always want to act like men and are busy finding flaws when opposed.

I do have some questions for the pseudo-feminist:-

• Have they ever asked their mother to help in the kitchen?
• Have they ever share there mensuration problems with their brothers?
• Have they ever think about their father’s stress, because of the daughter’s security?
• Have they ever think about the elders who really care about them?

We can’t judge anyone because we have no right to interfere with someone’s personal life. But make sure you are giving them equal opportunity. Just look at their pure heart, don’t stop them from drinking and smoking have booze with them, no need to give them career advice all the time they are self-reliant. But they should be empowered enough to know the difference between feminism and fake feminism. There’s a huge difference between Equality and Superiority.

This is my personal view and I’m not targeting anyone, but calling perverts and rapists by Pseudo Feminist to all men is something unfair and there should be a law for fake feminists against abusing/oppressing others and doing unethical activities.

And it’s good to hear that the Supreme court of India is now giving equal rights in the property of ancestors to the daughters too, and this is real feminism in my opinion. That is what I’m talking about. Hope you all get it.

What do you all think? Let us know.

If I talk about my country India, it all started from Delhi riots, Pandemic Coronavirus, economic slowdown, cyclones, gas leakage, tensions with china, and now between all, the word “nepotism” and “depression” is in trending.

Before we go any further We want to say that We have the deepest sympathy with Sushant Singh Rajput(a rising & talented star in India) and his family. His step gives us a deep message and bound us to rethink and review the functions & rules of society.

Nepotism! Nepotism! Nepotism! this word is trending everywhere . If you use social media you’ve seen this enough or it is not wrong If I say they are using this as an opportunity to gain attention, likes, followers & fame by using click bait showing the mystery behind his suicide. Don’t be surprised it’s not the first time. But at the end, Nothing.

Meaning of Nepotism…

The word arrives from an Italian word nepotismo, a Latin word nepos which means nephew. and basically, this means bias, partiality, and favoritism, granted to the relatives in various fields like business, politics, entertainment, sports, etc. Since the Middle Ages and until the late 17th century. Some Catholic popes and bishops, who had taken vows of chastity, and therefore usually had no legitimate offspring of their own, gave their nephews such positions of preference as were often accorded by fathers to son. but we have might take it in the wrong way. Don’t we?

Let me clear one thing. I am not backing nepotism but want to clarify that if a child has born in a privileged family so this is not his fault, this is his destiny that he/she is enjoying the easy life. However, there are some grounds I’ll try to mention why nepotism is wrong?

Continuous chances after being wrong:

Its a dream of every successful parent that their kids will become like them or even something more. But due to this sometimes they adopted unfair practices and the unethical way by giving them chances again and again even after no talent and interest. So every parent tries to make their children successful, which I don’t think is wrong, but the method may wrong.

I will tell you why?

Everyone has talent but maybe in some other field it is not necessary that a son of the star has the same talent as his father and a son of politician will be the same corrupt like his father, this depends on their preference. But the industry where everyone has one godfather suppressing the dreams of one who is more talented, deserving, and rises with their own efforts.

fault of industry:-

According to me, this is the complete fault of the industry/Bollywood in India. Like in the film industry, Nepotism is totally backed by the production houses and godfathers but if we look to some other major areas like central government level jobs only creamy layer candidates can survive. like my father was an advocate but its not necessary that i have same qualities like him or he would back me even I’m not even capable of doing these things.

Political

This process is in continuation from the ages, especially in India where it often is seen that a son of a politician will become a politician. The major party congress where the nepotism started and not ending yet, or some other parties also but now the public has become aware of these things and result in front of you.

Nepotism can be seen anywhere from politics to sports, nepotism in Bollywood, even home, schools & Colleges but the fact is they all are doing the same thing i.e. taking the chance of talented and deserving candidates. Even in schools, a child of the teacher always got more priority then other students or a son of a businessman have the legacy of his father, or have the same property right as his father, so have you ever questioned this also?

According to the aspiring blog, Nepotism is not a curse it’s a common thing and human nature by which parents help their children to grow because of there privilege. But by the fault of some industries, we cannot blame the star kids or other people that why they born on such a privileged family? it’s their luck & fate. Who are we to decide? BUT,

Giving them continuous chances after being no interest and without any talent is wrong and we completely disagree with that and demand strict action against the production houses and boycott the up comings so that comers could get chances.

I don’t know will you agree with my thoughts or not. it is my personal opinion about nepotism if anyone got hurt by my words I deeply apologize. But it’s all that I think. We can’t stop Nepotism but we can stop the wrongdoings in the name of Nepotism.

Before I end, one thing I must say that why someone has to lose their life to make people think? Don’t let these thing simply claim ones life.

You know what? Even I didn’t know about that. Have no idea. I just heard it somewhere. But what about you? You probably heard it too. But where did you get it? NO Idea?

Even NO one has an Idea, like the above news there are lots of fake news/rumors that are layout in our surroundings which are so Quick and seem excited and can easily be accepted by our ears.

They are like alleged events that refreshes our mood and later become a matter of debate. but do it has some relevance?.

What is Rumour?

There are many things that stimulate our surroundings like which we called news but it has different meanings like- if anything initially passed in forms of information where spokesperson doesn’t know the origin of information, we usually named those rumors. whereas any deliberated lie whose intuition is to deceive as many people as possible named as Fake News.

These both look similar and are man-made messages but believe me this can be a death sentence for innocents. These can be in forms of lynching, killing, brutality, allegations, etc.

How Rumour Spread?

After modernization, an upswing on technology these things become much easier to spread in the public on a large scale. When will the small activities become “mountain of a mole-hill” no one knows? Here I’ll discuss some of the platforms that are playing a crucial role in boosting these things and rumors in India and perhaps all over the world.

These are as follows:-

By Digital Platform

India is the biggest market of social media and having more than 200 million active users on WhatsApp messenger and 241 million active users on Facebook and 65 million WhatsApp messages are sent per day (2018 data), followed by 10 billion Facebook messages on a daily basis. Now just imagine a piece of single wrong information can turn into a storm of fake news making people intolerant that eventually leads to lynching, brutality, and many other brutal and wrong activities. Recently, rumors in India witnessed this where A single rumor has taken 29 lives and nobody cares.

It was found that 5000 Social Media handles from Pakistan were part of actively spreading fake news and false propaganda. 15,000 social media arbitrators worked overtime to identify fake news related to CAA(Citizen Amendment Bill) from platforms such as Whatsapp groups, Twitter, Facebook, TikTok & Helo (now banned in India). All these rumors in India led to ugly riots in parts of the country. And we were fighting with our brothers, friends, relatives, government over these rumors.

And let me clear one thing I’m not siding with any bill. It’s up to you to decide. But creating chaos and nuisance isn’t right. You should know that these types of rumors in India might cost someone’s life. And sadly that happened.

It is our guilt that we never make an effort to search the credibility of the news, and unknowingly become a part of Homicide because somewhere we might also have spread that.

Why Rumours Spread?

• Peoples don’t want to bother themselves for knowing the truth
• They may intentionally want to defame a particular person.
• By some political propaganda and agendas.

By gossips

Gossips are when we spread the personal information of others out of fun and to intentionally defaming his/her name with our friend by taking his words for not to tell others. But in reality, there is also another close friend of our close friend who exists to whom our close friend also expects the same.

Again I think somewhere we are responsible for that too. That’s why it is said that Never tell your secrets to anyone.

If you can’t keep your secrets with you, how can you expect that someone will keep it for you?

chankya

Think wisely before spreading gossips about anyone. This may also lead to depression and suicides.

By news

News broadcasting or journalism is one of the pillars of democracy and has been visually impaired on the greed of money-grubbing. They will show you only that which you like not bonafide. According to the guardian the Indian media research agency CMS stated that the cause of the spread of fake news is because India “lacked -media policy for verification”.

Some of the recent fake news or rumors in India spread through India media include -Nanochip in 2000 note new currency. Some news channel exists just because of Right-wing and Left-wing propaganda.

By Intentionally

Every wrongly spread fake news has some intention behind them. Sometimes there are also have personal intention like a businessman might do with their competitor by making rumors to defame their company like when Nano car launched in India but due to some technical fault some of the cars caught fire but other rivals make that propaganda that every nano car has that technical issue and today his production has been whipped out. As there is always a Cutthroat competition in the market.

Rumors, gossips, lynchings, brutality, fake news all these things will never end because a liberal society may also get trapped in this and when I am writing this I don’t know how many of you fall in this belief and how many rumors have already been spread after seeing the very first paragraph of the blog.

Remember that line:- Rumours are carried by Haters, spread by Fools, and accepted by Idiots.

भारत में अफवाहें

क्या तुमने सुना? जल्द ही चीन पाकिस्तान और नेपाल के साथ भारत पर हमला करने वाला है। नहीं?

वैसे मैं भी, तो आपको यह कहाँ से मिला? क्या सूचना नहीं?

यहां तक ​​कि किसी के पास भी आइडिया नहीं है, उपरोक्त समाचारों की तरह हमारे देश में बहुत सारे फर्जी समाचार / अफवाहें लेआउट हैं। जो बहुत जल्दी और सुखदायक हैं और हमारे कानों द्वारा आसानी से स्वीकार किए जा सकते हैं।

वे कथित घटनाओं की तरह हैं जो हमारे मूड को ताज़ा करती हैं और बाद में बहस का विषय बन जाती हैं। लेकिन क्या इसकी कुछ प्रासंगिकता है?

अफवाह क्या है?

हमारे आस-पास बहुत सी चीजें उत्तेजित होती हैं जैसे कि हमने एक समाचार कहा था, लेकिन इसके अलग-अलग अर्थ हैं जैसे- यदि कुछ भी शुरू में सूचना के रूपों में पारित हो गया जहां प्रवक्ता को जानकारी का मूल पता नहीं है, तो हमने आमतौर पर उस अफवाहों का नाम दिया। जबकि किसी भी जानबूझकर झूठ जिसका अंतर्ज्ञान नकली समाचार के रूप में संभव के रूप में लोगों को धोखा देने के लिए है।

ये दोनों समान दिखते हैं और मानव निर्मित संदेश हैं लेकिन मेरा मानना ​​है कि यह निर्दोष लोगों के लिए मौत की सजा हो सकती है। ये लांछन, हत्या, क्रूरता, आरोप आदि के रूप में हो सकते हैं।

ये कैसे फैले हैं?

आधुनिकीकरण के बाद, प्रौद्योगिकी पर जोर देने से ये चीजें बड़े पैमाने पर लोगों में फैलने में आसान हो जाती हैं। छोटी गतिविधियाँ कब “पहाड़ का तिल-पहाड़” बन जाएंगी, कोई नहीं जानता? यहाँ मैं उन कुछ प्लेटफार्मों की चर्चा करूँगा जो भारत और शायद पूरी दुनिया में इन चीजों और अफवाहों को बढ़ाने में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभा रहे हैं।

ये निम्नानुसार हैं; –

• डिजिटल द्वारा
• गपशप करके
• समाचार द्वारा
• व्यक्तिगत इरादे से।

डिजिटल प्लेटफॉर्म द्वारा

भारत सोशल मीडिया का सबसे बड़ा बाजार है, जिसके व्हाट्सअप मैसेंजर पर 200 मिलियन से अधिक सक्रिय उपयोगकर्ता हैं और फेसबुक में 241 मिलियन उपयोगकर्ता और 65 मिलियन व्हाट्सअप संदेश प्रति दिन के आधार पर (2018 डेटा), और 10 बिलियन  फेसबुक संदेश दैनिक आधार पर भेजे जाते हैं। जरा कल्पना करें कि एक भी गलत जानकारी लांछन, क्रूरता और बहुत कुछ बदल सकती है। एक  अफवाह ने 29 लोगों की जान ले ली और किसी को परवाह नहीं है।

यह पाया गया कि पाकिस्तान से 5000 सोशल मीडिया हैंडल सक्रिय रूप से फर्जी समाचार और झूठे प्रचार प्रसार का हिस्सा थे। 15,000 सोशल मीडिया मध्यस्थों ने व्हाट्सअप समूहों, ट्विटर, फेसबुक, (टिक्कॉक और हेलो) जैसे प्लेटफार्मों से सीएए (नागरिक संशोधन विधेयक) से संबंधित नकली समाचारों की पहचान करने के लिए ओवरटाइम काम किया, जो अब भारत में प्रतिबंधित हैं और हमने किससे लड़ाई की? हमारे भाइयों, दोस्तों, रिश्तेदारों, सरकार के साथ।
यह किसकी गलती है?

इसके बारे में हमारा मानना ​​है कि हम कभी भी खबरों की विश्वसनीयता को खोजने के लिए दर्द नहीं उठाते हैं, और अप्रत्यक्ष रूप से मानव हत्या का कारण बन जाते है,
क्योंकि हम भी उसी का हिस्सा थे.

लोग इस तरह की खबरें क्यों फैलाते हैं?

• सच्चाई जानने के लिए लोग खुद को परेशान नहीं करना चाहते
• वे विशेष व्यक्ति को बदनाम करना चाहते हैं।
• कुछ राजनीतिक प्रचार द्वारा

गपशप करके

गॉसिप्स तब होते हैं जब हम दूसरों की निजी जानकारी को मज़ेदार तरीके से फैलाते हैं और दूसरों को न बताने के लिए जानबूझकर अपने दोस्त के साथ उसका नाम बदनाम करते हैं। लेकिन वास्तव में, हमारे करीबी दोस्त का एक और करीबी दोस्त भी मौजूद है, जिसे हमारा करीबी दोस्त भी उम्मीद करता है।

फिर से मुझे लगता है कि कहीं न कहीं हम भी इसके लिए जिम्मेदार हैं। इसलिए कहा जाता है कि कभी भी अपने राज़ किसी को न बताएं।

यदि आप अपने रहस्यों को अपने साथ नहीं रख सकते हैं, तो आप कैसे उम्मीद कर सकते हैं कि कोई उन्हें रखेगा।

चाणक्य

समाचार द्वारा: 
- समाचार प्रसारण या पत्रकारिता लोकतंत्र के स्तंभों में से एक है, जो पैसे के लोभ के लालच में दृष्टिबाधित होता है। वे आपको केवल वही दिखाएंगे जो आपको पसंद नहीं है। अभिभावक के अनुसार भारतीय मीडिया अनुसंधान एजेंसी सीएमएस ने कहा कि नकली समाचारों के प्रसार का कारण यह था कि भारत में "सत्यापन के लिए नीति-नीति का अभाव था", 
हाल ही में भारत में फैली कुछ फर्जी खबरों या अफवाहों में भारत मीडिया के माध्यम से शामिल हैं-2000 के नए नोट में नैनोचिप। कुछ न्यूज चैनल राइट-विंग और लेफ्ट-विंग प्रचार के कारण मौजूद हैं।

इरादे से: –
हर फैली हुई खबर के पीछे कोई न कोई मंशा होती है लेकिन कुछ ऐसे भी होते हैं जिनका व्यक्तिगत इरादा होता है जैसे कि कुछ बिजनेस मैन वहाँ के प्रतियोगी को अपनी कंपनी को बदनाम करने की कोशिश करते हैं जैसे कि जब नैनो कार भारत में लॉन्च हुई तो कुछ तकनीकी खराबी के कारण कुछ कार में आग लग गई लेकिन प्रतिद्वंद्वियों ने ऐसा किया प्रचार है कि हर नैनो कार में वह तकनीकी समस्या है और आज उसका उत्पादन समाप्त हो गया है।

अफवाहें, गपशप, लिंचिंग, क्रूरता, फर्जी खबरें ये सब बातें कभी खत्म नहीं होंगी क्योंकि एक उदार समाज भी इसमें फंस सकता है और जब मैं यह लिख रहा हूं तो मुझे नहीं पता कि आप में से कितने लोग इस धारणा में आते हैं और कितनी अफवाहें हैं पहले ही ब्लॉग के पहले पैराग्राफ को देखने के बाद फैल गया।

उस पंक्ति को याद रखें: – अफवाहें हेटर्स द्वारा फैलाई जाती हैं, मूर्खों द्वारा फैलाई जाती हैं, और इडियट्स द्वारा स्वीकार की जाती हैं।

हमारे हाल के ब्लॉग: –

हम मानते हैं कि आप एक ‘थैंक्यू’ के लायक हैं

यह याद मत करो

The post Rumors in India appeared first on Aspiring Blog.

And that day I got to know about another edge of the fighters because if we recall our memory, teachers taught us human being with a firearm are real hero( no doubt), television attracts towards power rangers, ben 10, famous Chota bheem in India which we often think that they will save us.

Movies taught us AVENGERS, are the superheroes I don’t know where they are during this pandemic.
But I know some heroes we probably don’t know about. But their stories and struggle are real. So I think it must be known to the world.

Recalling my road trip, I, my father, and my father’s worker, we trio were leaving for Uttar Pradesh(State in India). Accidentally our mode of transport deteriorated, so we asked a truck driver passing by to drop us off at our destination.

But I found something I didn’t expect. There was a different world inside the truck. I became astounded because our society teaches us to call the driver or a fourth-class person but his hospitality was a million times better than a rich. He simply smiles over me and calls me chotu(small boy) and then he furnishes me with coke because outside was so hot and we were seeming dull.

I was seeing my father’s talk with ustad Ji(a proud name for the on-road heroes).

Ustad Ji was coming from a continuous 6 hour trip with 4 hours still remaining. A total of 10 hours of nonstop driving doesn’t seem easy, Right? But yes, this is an easy trip for them because an average ride of an Indian truck driver is 12 to 14 hours on the highway or 1.8 thousand kilometers round trip in about seven days on average.

Family of on-road heroes.

In the course of round trips, barely they can spend time with loved ones, But the truck staff becomes their family member and even passerby like us as their guest.

Key products

One small gas stove, using back seat as their bed, one blanket, no AC, a big stereo where melodies of old 90’s Kishore Kumar(legendary Indian singer) songs play on a loop, a small place for worship, and many more are fellows for them.

Their mom’s kitchen

In the vacate highways it seems tough for them to eat from their mother’s hand, so the roadside dhaba’s are their mom’s kitchen and the khat ( a cot) is a dinning table.

Decorative trucks

The trucks were introduced in 1940 during world war II by the Britishers of brand name Bedford for military cargo, but the trend remains in India and now we can see millions of trucks are adorning Indian highways.

But what’s the motive behind those decorative Trucks?

I asked this to my truck ustaad and he responded .

For spiritual belief:

Have you ever noticed eagle printed on Indian trucks? The eagle stands for speed and precision and it is also a symbol of Sikh religion Guru Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji and many more.

For remembering family and their roots:

Most of the ustad’s and their students belong to villages and before the pre-digital era, the art like (a woman lifting her baby in the dock while filling the water, Farmers sitting under trees waiting for the crop to ripen, playing children’s ) these all give them nostalgic feelings, but this trend still follows.

For warnings too:

“Horn ok please” the famous quote written on the back of the trucks helps them in riding freely, and the catchy slogans like Dum hai to cross kar, varna bardasht kar” – Overtake me if you have the balls, or else tolerate being stuck behind my ass.

All I can say that whatever I saw or experienced was an amazing event of my life with ustad Ji, he shared amazing memories.

I was not carrying a smartphone that time so I can’t take his photo but calling them driver, treated them as a servant I don’t think is justice for them, all the basic amenities are provided only trough them even during this #pandemic #corona they are fighting for us, many ustads (truck drivers) affected with corona because they are busy giving services for the nation so I think there is a separate identity of ustads and not even they all the peoples required the equal respects.

The post Unsung Highway Heroes appeared first on Aspiring Blog.

Being traditional is not rule centric. It’s root centric.

INDIA, well nothing much to say about it, cause there is no book in the world that wholly defines this country and Indian-tradition. It’s home to one of the oldest cultures and traditions to amaze you and to define your soul. The soul of this country resides in its people and their traditions. But here the story gets fade when we get to know that we are losing our own traditions ‘intentionally’. So here we bring some facts and science behind popular Indian traditions which you’re ignoring. Because we need you to know our roots.

India is known for its diversity. It is the home to a vast number of cultures and traditions. The secular nature of Indian soil has allowed various religious beliefs to flourish freely over the years. For every few hundred kilometers that you travel on Indian soil, you will encounter a whole new culture.

There are some facts about our traditions which we used to do but may not aware about it.

APPLYING TILAK ON FOREHEAD:-

Not only Hindu but a non-Hindu also apply tilak in his life. Tilak is applied to the center of our eyebrows, it is a spot that is considered to be a nerve point in the human body since ancient time. It prevents the loss of energy and the red kumkum helps to retain energy and control our concentration.

Wearing MANGALSUTRA by Indian Women:-

Mangalsutra is defined in a Sanskrit term ‘MANGAL’ means prosperous, blessed, etc. and ‘SUTRA’ means a thread. mangalsutra is made of 108 (an auspicious number) fine cotton threads twisted together and dyed yellow in saffron or turmeric and gold which stung in the center.

SIGNIFICANCE: Mangala is also the name of the planet Mars, whose color is red, same as the auspicious garment color worn by Hindu brides. Because of this association, it’s common to use coral gem (manga) that is sacred to Mars. Mangalsutra chain is made of black glass beads. It is said to repel the evil eye.

Joining both palms together:

It is the method to greet someone in our culture but now handshakes have taken over this. Joining both hands together ensure touching the tips of fingers together which are linked to pressure points in the eyes, ears, and mind. Pressing them together is said to activate these and helps us to remember that person for a long time, and it also helps us to prevent chronic disease by not shaking their hands.

WOMEN TOE RINGS:

These rings wear on the second toe, particularly nerve connects the uterus and passes to heart, so a toe ring strengthens the uterus, keeping it healthy by regulating blood flow to it. Women’s menstrual cycle is also said to be regularized.

Kadha and bangles

We often wear kadha and bangles like in men, may the astrologer suggest or in the female, the married women used to wear for the betterment of her husband or it can also be the identity of married women ..there are a lot of benefits of wearing bangles and kadha.

Normally the wrist portion is in constant activation of any human. Also, the pulse beat in this portion is mostly checked for all sorts of ailments. The Bangles used by women are normally in the wrist part of one’s hand and its constant friction increases the blood circulation level.

Furthermore, the electricity passing out through outer skin is again reverted to one’s own body because of the ring-shaped bangles, which has no ends to pass the energy outside but to send it back to the body. Also, there are supposed to be some pressure points in the wrist area which helps in maintaining hormonal balance. This is the main reason why even many men wore some bangle like accessories e.g. kadha .

NOSE RINGS:-

Getting nose pierced is one of the important customs in India. Nowadays its become a trend, apart from knowing its benefits.

Nose piercing on the left nostril helps in reducing pain during the periods in women. It is also said that the left nostril is associated with the reproductive organs of the female which eases childbirth and also minimizes the pain at the time of the baby’s delivery.

Although from religious perceptive:- at the time of wedding girls pierced their nose to honor goddess parvati.

EAR PIERCING:

Same as nose piercing the ear-piercing also has several health benefits for men and women both.

Piercing the ears will help to circulate the blood in a proper way. Proper blood transmission to the brain will help to increase the memory power

The middle of the ear is helpful in immunization and also it is beneficial in both the men and women by solving the problem of the irregularity of menstruation, it is also beneficial in men for generating sperms.

These all are the scientific reasons or the science behind popular Indian traditions that we all follow from ages but don’t know their true value. It’s a gold treasure that we have and should be proud of.

But One questions is still remained unanswered.

Are we really forgetting our tradition & Culture?

I hope that more people will come to realize the value of our traditional ways and culture because this is something we should take pride in and we should protect it from getting lost and forgotten.

The post The Science behind popular Indian Traditions appeared first on Aspiring Blog.

Is it above science?

Is it more than medicine?

Is god teaches us to do this?

I’m going to tell u about my worker at my village, he is from Behri, Uttar Pradesh and living here from the past 10 years. He is a daily wage earner and used to work in my land to feed his family, on 4th day of lockdown he came to me for help when her wife was so serious and didn’t even eat a pie for a previous couple of days.

Actually, he came to arrange a vehicle so that he could go to his village and then I and my brother insist on him and took her to the hospital when her reports went for testing and the result shocked my mind.

The report shows that she was suffering from tuberculosis from the last 5 years and she was also a diabetic patient. She only has half working lung remaining, and her sugar level was at 475 points when I asked him how this happened why didn’t he came to the hospital earlier? and why didn’t he inform me earlier?

You won’t believe me, his answer was more heartbreaking than her wife’s health condition. He was treating her under the guidance of untrained doctors, superstitions beliefs and has spent around 4 lakh from his pocket, which included 100 of chicken offering, more than 10 goat and pigs and dozens of expensive sarees and thousands of rupees.

Now tell me…
Is that is more than medicines? Is they are not murder? Not only of animals but of human beings also? Who is responsible? The dumb superstitions or illiterate?

I will call them a MURDERER because they are not less than that. The murderers have taken 1000 lives without attacking them. They usually play with their minds and initially try to win their trust and end up taking all the things from them. And used to target illiterate, mostly of rural areas but unfortunately, the poor also get trapped. They ask for money, essential goods, animals offering, and sometimes human offerings also.

This type of practice has been seen in the Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, and other Indian states too because of less education and lack of awareness. The common practices u might have seen are :

• 1. Hanging a lemon on the verandah to save home from the evil eye.
• 2.wait for a while if a black cat crosses your path.
• 3. Don’t have a hair cut, or nail cut on Tuesday and Saturday whether you are going to punish at school.
• 4. Wearing black thread on right ankle chanted by the #murderers.
• 5. Believing that someone has done Kala Jaadu (Black Magic) to you whether he knows you or not.
• 6. Don’t travel on moon days(Amavasya)
• 7. People do not sweep their house at night, otherwise, Lakshmi, the Goddess of prosperity will leave the home, they think. Actually, this was to avoid missing small valuable things while sweeping when there was no electricity in the older days. But the tradition is still continuing.
• 8. Matching the horoscope before marriage is compulsory for their happy life. But ironically after a while, they may get a divorce.
• 9. 786 an auspicious no for the Muslim community and 3 number is the inauspicious number for orthodox peoples.

All these useless habits are provoking the #murderers to loot more innocent people. And these are just a few mentioned beliefs. We have an ocean full of such kind of beliefs. But trust me there is no science behind that.

WITCH HUNTING

It is associated with middle age but in some parts of India is still in operation. MOB lynching often sees in several areas of India where 100 of people lost there lives.

Here is complete information

Anti-superstition bill

It is good news that the state governments are taking action against the murders or the superstitions to safeguarding the innocent public:

Kerala to bring Anti-Superstition bill

Now, what could be the solution to the problem? We can organize awareness programs but the problem is that the young politicians will do politics more than helping them.

One good news is that my worker’s wifey is better and thankfully her health is improving daily by medication..thanks to doctors #godonearth. But I was thinking what if she couldn’t? Who would be responsible for that? And it is not only about her, Already millions of people lost their lives in the vicious circle of these superstitious beliefs and still counting.

Well, I am definitely not against anyone’s beliefs but I am strictly against the exploitation by the superstitions of innocent people. I recommend that there should be a penal section in the Indian penal code against them to stop these practices…And I want to know What you think about these things and what can be the possible solution? comment below

The post Superstition Story appeared first on Aspiring Blog.

But that’s not the whole story. Definitely not.

Have you ever imagined that the way of enjoyment for us can also be the way of living for them and the struggle they face? Yes, I’m talking about the struggle of hilly areas peoples, their struggle for livelihood, education, health care facilities, public transport, daily need items and the struggle to survive.

A lot of migration has been recorded to metro-cities for the search of a better life but if you look deeper they don’t have any other options. Following are the reason and option they have for Nourishment.

Lets start the struggle story :-

EDUCATION

Although it has a very good statistic over the literacy rate of around 82%. But still, there are many places in Uttarakhand ( a HILLY STATE of INDIA) where the struggle for education never ends. An average location of school from the locality is more than 4 km which they have to cover by there foot, the infrastructure of the school is worst then the public toilets in cities, so you can imagine where our youth stand. the statistical data stuck the mind that govt spend only 3.5%of state GDP in Education and expecting the youth to stay on the state. I am from the state and in spite of having government school in our land I never went for schooling there. The reason is simple given below.

There are approx 1689 primary schools in 13 district having 39000 students and 1 teacher. If the teacher is absent then around 1500 schools remain shut. The Bageshwar district has 235 schools with one teacher, Almora has 231, Narkonda village in Dehradun district has 70 students under one teacher, Chamoli has 122, Pithoragarh has 222, Rudraprayag has 165, Pauri Garhwal has 158.

Even in my village the primary school is running worthlessly.

Rather than proving teachers and good infrastructure to students, the government has decided to close more than 1500 schools including higher secondary schools. The schools have become ghost buildings and the youth are suffering more. They are bound to work on a low scale in cities.

In the above pic, the school has become the ghost building and it only opened at the time of election poll. Same as the above schools there are around 50 schools in Pithoragarh district become ghost building.

Water Supply

Being a hilly state, there are several natural as well as manmade water bodies. Rivers, lakes, springs or gadheras, tube wells, dug wells, Koops, River Bank Filtration units etc. are the major drinking and irrigation water sources.

But the Hilly regions of Central Himalayans facing the problem of water supply in Uttarakhand. The naulas, Dharas(springs), Gadheras, tube wells etc. becomes dry because of global warming. For the arrangement of water, the people usually move to near naulas which is around 5 to 6 km far away from their home because no water connection is provided yet.

Except for Nainital and Dehradun district rest, 11 have the problem of water supply. Now you can imagine other states are giving free water to peoples the natives of Uttarakhand are still facing the problem of water after his birth of 20 years. Uttarakhand is the origin of main rivers like Ganga, Yamuna, Koshi, Kali Nadi, Ramganga.

In the absence of proper rainwater harvesting structures in the region, rainwater is hardly available and stream water is available only for the people living close to river-banks. Due to largely varied population density in the region, the majority of the people do not have access to these supplies and are generally dependent on the local sources of water supply (springs) and dug wells (only in the valleys).

Groundwater can be an important alternative source for meeting the water needs of this region. Groundwater is considered to be a sustainable source of water supply in a region because it can provide a year-round supply of good quality water if properly developed.

The jal board authority of Uttarakhand has taken many steps to rejuvenate the naulas but still not at that level. The Himalayan areas have very much fractured rock structures which result in the rapid diffusion of precipitation below the ground and makes it very tough to tap the groundwater. The problem can be solved if there is proper pumping facility available for supply of water.

The question might be stuck on your head that why I only quoted Uttarakhand not other hilly stations. well there is no specific reason for that, I have born in Uttarakhand and I have monitored it so closely. Other hilly states also have a same picture but it depends on the political stability on a state which is lacking in Uttarakhand.

The post Struggle Behind Beauty appeared first on Aspiring Blog.

This statistic really uncovered the lack of awareness in society that around 80% of girls are surprised when they get their first period.

Having a menstruation period is a natural process, this has nothing to do with society, there should be no shame. That’s why society needs to know. The awareness should be spread.

Isn’t it our responsibility?

Menstruation is the most rarely discussed topic in our homes, schools, or in our friend circle.

Menstruation Meaning

Menstruation is a biological process when blood and tissue from the uterus come out through the vagina usually in monthly basis. It also helps a body to prepare for pregnancy menstrual cycle and menstruation periods are controlled by hormones like estrogen and progesterone.

Menstruation is not a Problem

Menstruation is the gift given by God to women. But due to some misconceptions and myths, this gift of God has snatched the opportunity of women to go to school, society, or even in religious places like temples also.

I know in this era topics like this are often discussed in society.

Unlike urban areas, rural areas have around 25 million girls who drop out their school because of the poor facility of menstruation hygiene like toilets, sanitary, napkins, etc. Low awareness of menstruation is widespread across many states in India.

Myths About Menstruation

70% of parents with menstruating daughters considered menstruation as dirty. Don’t know why. Maybe because of society’s framework or maybe due to the culture in which they were raised.

In many places of rural areas, menstruating women are restricted to sleeping in their rooms, and not allowed to cook in the kitchen moreover no one will touch her until her cycle completes irrespective of the pain that she feels during menstruation.

Is Menstruation a Curse?

I’m the single man at my home along with 4 women including my mother and 2 sisters, and I have seen & witnessed that they are not ready to discuss the topic with me because of shyness or of the same misconceptions and myths that they get from our own society.

In rural areas schools are also not very helpful for discussing menstrual hygiene. A survey in 2015 by the ministry of education found that 65% of school in a rural area doesn’t teach students about menstruation.

When we talk about cities there are many stores where sanitary napkins are available but when it comes to rural areas this makes low availability of low-quality napkins. Using low-quality napkins or no use of napkins increases the chances of infection and hinder the day-to-day task of women during their periods.

The myths and taboos surrounding menstruation need to be broken effectively.

A proper awareness program must be implied to educate women of all ages that what is mensuration and how unawareness will tremendously harm their health.

I appreciate that movies like padman are influencing society to some extent and a bit of change comes into the mind of women many women started using pads during the cycle, but still we have to go through a tough challenge of this mindset of menstruation…

At last, I would say that we are living in the 21st century and doing well in developing our country in various areas like transportation, education, infrastructure, defense, etc. But due to some old myths still, the sanitary napkins are given in black polythene or cover, we should have to change our mind and I’m not forcing anyone but every girl should have to change her mind and should discuss with family, brothers, friends whenever they are in pain.

Because that’s how we change.

“If she has to whisper about her pain,

then for us its a matter of shame..“
