Last year, in November, Chinese army deceived India by morphing content and publicising images showing "surrendered Indian soldiers captured by Chinese PLA crouching in humiliating postures". Later, it was found out that neither the video nor the photographs were real. India neutralised the Chinese narrative about who controlled Galwan by releasing realistic, authentic images of the Indian army performing its New year flag raising exercise. After thoroughly examining the photos, Indian defence analysts concluded that the texture of the mountains in the footage given by China did not correlate to the geographic parameters of Galwan. Moreover the PLA troops resembled Chinese movie stars clearly indicating that it was staged and not real. Apart from that, the observers noted that the images of ostensibly supplicant Indians in some previous Chinese photos appeared to be photoshopped. It seems as if AI-driven 'deep fakes' are the next big tool of the Chinese disinformation...

We, as Indians, should be proud of our country's biodiversity. Whether we drive northwards towards the Himalayas or to the western coast of India, or the Sundarbans, anywhere and everywhere we go, we can witness a continuously changing panorama and unique foliage with lofty trees, rocky mountains, grassy plains, shades of blue, crimson and brown dotted with white, animal species with Royal Bengal tigers swimming in the creeks, dolphins frolicing in rivulets, reptiles awaiting in the beautiful lakes and crocodiles sunbathing on riverbanks. Biodiversity is one of the many wonders of our world and we are privileged to be living in a country where biodiversity is so apparent. However, we Indians don't care about the biological diversities anymore. We should actually be treasuring and preserving this unique and special possession, but instead, we because of our greed are making this diversity bleed. We are turning the green landscapes at hand into desserts, concrete jungles and barr...

For me, a fictional hero is a character possessing supernatural and superhuman powers and is dedicated to fight evil from the universe, protect the public and battle super villains.        You’re much stronger than you think you are. Trust me        Secrets have a cost; they are not for free.        You have a metal arm, dude that is so awesome. Well, do you know who said these ever-famous lines. Yes, it is SPIDER-MAN The science fiction character I admire the most is Spider-Man. He is a fictional science comic book hero characterized by his iconic red and blue webbed body suit. He was created by writer and editor Stan lee and artist Steve Ditko. Spider-Man has many abilities and leadership qualities which I admire. He is a true hero as he made an oath that he would fight for justice and use his powers for good and not for personal gain. His abilities and powers allowed him to stop crime and save lives. His sup...

#ReclaimOurLives -  Getting Covaxinated (COVID Vaccine) is important From a spirited body free to roam, To always staying at home. From get together and leisure activities, To panic, loneliness and anxiety. We all in our homes are caged, And this is the hardest challenge we have ever faced. With Social Distancing, our sociability is dead, This is the new normal - Times Ahead. One of the Covid survivors while sharing his experience said that for eight days he was terrified of what the next day would bring to him. He could see his oxygen level falling with each passing day. Everyday he'd wake up feeling better, convinced that he'd beaten the disease, only to have the symptoms flare up again by the evening. He claimed that it was the most harrowing experience which cannot be survived by the unfit and the fainthearted. So, it is important to get yourself Covaxinated to avoid getting into the terrifying ordeal. The vaccine interacts with our immune system and creates an antibody res...

Taj Mahal is the medieval marvel and the ideal monument that was built by Shah Jahan in loving remembrance of his wife. I personally, not just like it for the emotional story attached with it, but also for the detailed architectures, interesting fun facts and myths behind it. Despite this being one of the most iconic stature in the world, a lot of its history is still a mystery which has not been discovered yet but here are a few tales and realities about this marble-clad marvel. 1) We can spot optical illusions everywhere in it. The designers and artisans of this incredible monument were masters of proportions and tricks of eye. For instance, it appears incredibly close and large to us when we approach the main gate but it shrinks in size as we get closer which is exactly the reverse case of what really happens. Ideally, the gate should get bigger and bigger as we come closer, however something opposite happens with the Taj Mahal. 2) It is perfectly and impeccably symmetrical whic...

There have been numerous wars and combats in the past, but among all these, WORLD WAR II had harsh implications like mass destruction on the whole world for that matter. There have been innumerable accounts of deadliest events taking place during the World War II - one of them being the Holocaust which led to a mass violence with the deliberate killing of six million Jewish by the Nazi Germany with the only intention of exterminating them. On reading about this I felt that this was an issue that required attention and was needed to be transformed. Since many decades we have been trying to follow the political slogan “NEVER AGAIN” and have been making an effort to never let such kind of maltreatment happen again, but even today the question: “How can genocide be put of?” has not got a solution yet. I strongly feel that education can play a practical role in societies still struggling with the legacies of mass violence and extremism. Educating people about the history of holocaust and g...

It was a warm and comfortable night, I was like a snug as a bug in a rug in my cozy bed when I unknowingly dozed off and I was in a fairyland with fairies and dwarfs dancing around me and singing melodious songs. I was sitting under the shade of a tree when a fairy came very close to my ear and said (snore... … snore.....) , that’s where my pleasant dream broke. That was my father, who was fast asleep snoring like an untamed lion who was ready to attack me any time. I am sure you can relate to the sonorous, grumbling and grating sound of Snoring. You must have at least one person in your family who is a snorer .  A Research reports that one out of every four adults snore regularly and nearly half of us snore occasionally. Do you think snoring is harmless? Well, let me tell you, it is something that can have serious health issues like - risk of stroke, Heart diseases, memory difficulty, aggravating diabetes, headache etc. Besides, it is not good for your family members as it keep...

‘ It is easy to look at people and make quick judgments about them, but what the world sees of the person is only one tiny faucet of the iceberg. There is a story behind every person. There is a reason why they are the way they are. Think about that before you judge someone.’ Our life has a meaning only if we keep having an interaction with people. Right. We meet a multitude of people in our lives with whom we chat, talk, discuss various matters, etc. But now let us pay attention to the details. Can you tell me the first thing we all do when we see new people? Do we instantly go to talk to them or do we straightaway shake hands with them? Let me tell you; we do nothing of this sort. The foremost thing we do after meeting someone new is that consciously or unconsciously we make a judgement. A judgement like: Wow, he has so much wealth, He is so rich. She looks so sweet. They are so weird. Oh! she is so ignorant. We make a quick judgement that may not be quite true, a judgement that ...

In India we meet different people. Some are Rajputs, some are Sikh, some are Hindus, some are Muslims, some eat Non - vegetarian, whereas some avoid eating that. Some celebrate Christmas while some others celebrate Diwali, Eid, Holi, Gurupurab. We all are so different from each other, but the one thing that is common among us all is  ‘oneness’ . There is  UNITY EVEN WITH SUCH A VARIETY.  As Rabindranath Tagore very eloquently said:  If  God had so wished, he would have made all the Indians speak one language, follow one tradition and religion, but God did not want it this way. He felt that the identity of India would only be in having a diversity.  Criticism and inequalities are not the ideologies we follow anymore. Over the years, we have evolved as a leader with a strong bond of humanity among us.  India is such a diversified civilization with over 1650 spoken languages, varied dressing styles and with millions of people coming from various backgroun...

 Recognize your origin, your worth and value We often say, I am worthless, I couldn't accomplish such a small goal. I am useless, I ruined my life, because of this decision. I am so worthless. Why, Why are you worthless? What have you done? You have just followed your dream; you have just followed your inner soul. You have just done what you loved to do. You have not done anything wrong or harmful A well-known speaker started his speech by showing everyone a $20 bill. In the room of many people, he asked, “Who would like this $20 bill?” Suddenly many hands started going up. He said, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first, let me crumple it.” After crumpling it, he asked again, “Who still wants this?” Still hands were up in the air. He said, “Well! what if I do this?” He dropped the bill on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He then picked it up and asked, “Who still wants it?” Stills a few hands were up in the air. After this s...
