Biding 2020 A Farewell.

-

2020 was a terrible year for all of us due to the pandemic. It started with Coronavirus and until February, we were able to fight the disease. Then we had the best and worst times - The lockdown. For many people, the lockdown was quite beneficial, but for a few, it was breath-taking. We all know about the condition of migrant laborers, increased cases of domestic violence, and many more. However, during these tough times, people were ready to help each other, and many real-life heroes and warriors were always there protecting us. The time we spent in lockdown with our families was definitely memorable, and we should be thankful for it. This virus gave us a chance to realize the importance of family and the love they shower. People could learn so much, not only morally but also in terms of developing new skills such as baking, video making, and productive use of YouTube, among others. Words like quarantine, lockdown, and work-from-home were indeed new to us, but now, even the uneducated understand what these words mean. Many people learned to live independently, while others realized how important the support they get is. We should all be thankful that we have passed this year safely, and we should also be grateful to this year for giving us a break from the materialistic life.

Let us know what you learn from this year. Thank you!

Everything is Temporary.

 Dear Readers, Today, I would like to discuss the temporality of life and how we can approach it positively. The last two years have been challenging for all of us as we've faced the pandemic's deadly consequences. However, as we transition from an online phase to an offline reality, we are leaving behind the comforts of working from home and returning to a traditional way of life. Through this crisis, we have learned the importance of spending time with our loved ones, appreciating nature, and maintaining a positive outlook. As we move forward, it's crucial to remember that nothing in life is permanent. The pandemic did not last forever, and neither will our current situation. We may achieve whatever we are striving for today or tomorrow because our tireless efforts will eventually pay off. Conversely, we may lose whatever we possess today, including our material possessions, reputation, impression on others, or earned respect. To navigate these changes, we must give ourse...

Hello readers! Today, I'm excited to discuss sustainability and upcycling. Sustainability involves utilizing natural resources and energy in an eco-friendly manner. This includes upcycling, which entails recycling, reusing, and reinventing items that have lost their purpose over time. Upcycling is an excellent way to reduce waste and preserve resources. Upcycling is the process of recycling or reusing items in a way that enhances their quality or value. It's thrilling to transform discarded materials into something amazing! Namrutha Ramanathan, an upcycling artist from Chennai, is doing incredible work with fabric waste. Her venture aims to eliminate fabric waste entirely by diverting it from landfills. Every day, 251 tonnes of fabric waste end up in landfills, and that figure increases by 8% annually. It's admirable to see that there's a fighting chance to put an end to this colossal waste! Currently, Namrutha handles around 50 kgs of waste per month. How did she get s...

In the current decade, people have been excessively focused on their professional and academic pursuits, often neglecting their personal interests and hobbies. This trend is particularly prevalent among students. In today's fast-paced and stressful world, this can exacerbate the situation. Therefore, it is crucial for everyone, irrespective of their occupation, to maintain a balance between physical, mental, and emotional well-being. To achieve this balance, it is imperative to prioritize meditation, hobbies, and personal interests. As the adage goes, "A hobby a day keeps the doldrums away!" Pursuing hobbies can provide the ultimate level of self-gratification and enjoyment. A hobby is a personal interest that can bring endless joy. For students, life should not revolve solely around academics. It is equally important to engage in sports, hobbies, and personal interests. Individuals who spend their entire day with their noses buried in books will never experience the full...
