POWER OF POSITIVE THOUGHTS Everyone is responsible for everything in her/his life, be it the worst of the best. Every thoughts we think is creating our future. The thoughts we think and the words we speak is creating our experiences. We create the situation and then blame others for our frustration. No person has any power over us,  'we' are the only thinkers.The feelings of fear and guilt cause more problems than anything else. These feelings come from blaming others and not taking responsibility for their own actions. If we are always responsible for everything in our lives, then there is no one's to blame. Whatever is happening is only a mirror of our own inner thinking. The past if over and done. We cannot change that now. Yet we can change our thoughts about the past.  what we believe about ourselves  and about life becomes true for us. It means our subconscious mind accept whatever we choose to believe. And we have unlimited choices about what we can think. W

MOTHER "There is nothing like your mothers sympathetic voice that makes you want to burst into tears".  Mother is the one who can play various roles. She is somebody's daughter, sister, wife, aunt, grandmother. She is the one who suffers a lot of pain in her life. She keeps her child in the womb for nine months and finally gives birth. Nobody can take mother's place but mother can take everyone's place. She does everyone's work. She can do anything. It is asthough she has some magical powers . God has definitely given her the power which nobody has ever noticed. She loves us, take care of us, and meanwhile never asks for anything in return. Whenever we ask any questions, no matter the number of questions, she always has the answer. But when she asks us any  question, we tend to get irritated and show tantrums. In some children's life, mother's play double role. That is mother as well as father's role.  Mother's go through al

Friendship is the most valuable relationship in the life of a person instead of having many important things in life. No one of us has complete and satisfied life if we lack faithful friendship. Everyone needs a good and loyal friend to share bad or good life events, enjoy happy moments and share unbearable events of the life. A good and balanced human interaction is very necessary for the survival of everyone. Good friends share each other’s emotions or sentiments which bring feeling of well being and mental satisfaction. A friend is a person whom one can know deeply, like and trust forever. Instead of being some similarity in the nature of two persons involved in the friendship, they have some different traits but they need each other without changing their uniqueness. Generally, friends motivate each other without criticizing but sometimes good friends criticize to bring some positive changes in each other. Safiya Siddiqua 1st BSc FND

All love is expansion and all selfishness is contraction. Quoted by swami vivekanand. This is fittingly said for love is the basic foundation of life itself. A world without love is unimagibable. For love though a small word has in it power magical. Under it comes compassion, empathy, sympathy, care and what not. Love is both the reason why we are born and the reason why we live. And it is only right to say that love keeps expanding. Everything in this world has an end, you, me, everyone but love? It's never ending and ever giving. The more you spread the more you receive. Now we live in a world where everything is measured with money. Anything that is for free grabs our attention. Now what if I say love is free, it has no price tag on it. Moreover it has no currency, you can spread it in any way possible. A small smile? Flowers? A simple thank you? Go for it. You need not have an account in any bank or go thru huge transaction. Nay. To all those who believe in karma, here

Spread A Smile  Smile is an expression which hides our frowns, It can be our crown. Smile does not cost, Then why is it lost during difficult times? Though we can keep smiling for many miles, Then why to get angry for a while? Anger is a poison which can be prevented, By taking a dose of a smile. - Pooja Balot 1st year B.A

Importance Of Experiential Learning  September 5th of every year is celebrated as teacher's day. The day on which teachers are appreciated wholeheartedly by their students and are awarded by their gratitude.By teachers,we don't mean only the professionals who teach in various institutions but everyone who gives us a lesson in our lives.

STRUGGLE FOR SERENITY I've had it all,  This spontaneous vulnerability drains out of me. It has all left me dry and aching, Gone for more summers and winters, That Earth could never fill with.

Stop Discrimination Amongst Differently  Abled People Many a times we come across the words 'Handicapped', 'Disabled'. As soon as we come across these words, some thoughts come into our mind. We all might have seen such people may be in our family, relatives, schools, workplace, friend circle, etc. Those people are known as disabled because they don't have one/more of their body parts such as hands, legs, eyes or they may be deaf. This mainly happens because of an accident, premature birth, etc. In this modern era of 21st century, there are many people in backward regions who do not treat differently abled people as equals. Many a times we get to see that a differently abled person passes by and some narrow minded people start insulting their disability, they can do nothing, how will they survive in their life? Who will take care of them in later years? Thousands of people with disabilities are challenged not only because of their disabilities but bec

INSPIRATION The word 'inspiration' has different meanings according to different people.  According to the Oxford Dictionary the word inspiration means, ‘The process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something creative’. In general each person describes it with his or her own definition like inspiration is something which makes us to feel confident, strengthen our will power and leads us in the right path to achieve our aims in our life. In my life there have been many people and incidents that have been huge influences but the one who inspired me the most is my English teacher who encouraged me to speak English fluently. She is the reason why I am able to write or speak in English and who took me from learning to thinking and analyzing stage. My dream is to be a teacher like her who can motivate students to pursue their dreams. In India, inspiring personalities like MK Gandhi, Bhagat Singh, Tendulkar, Abdul Kalam, Narendra Modi who have reached gre

It is the world's fifth largest economy by nominal GDP and third largest by purchasing power party  (ppp) .According to IMF (international monetary fund) ,on a per capita income basis,India ranked 142nd by GDP (nominal) and 119th by GDP  (ppp) per capita in 2018.

Birds in the sky are free to move anywhere, They are filled with freedom They travel different places at different time And enjoy their life like air in the atmosphere But when these birds are caged They lose all their freedom, All their happiness Likewise is a life of a girl.

But all the decisions of her life is not for her Why don't she have a right for herself Why don't she have a right to be independent Why should she bend her head for All those problems of life created by men. - Maimuna Shafa

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH BOOK REVIEW                             One of the books which caught my attention recently in the library was ‘ The Rise and Fall of the third Reich’. It is one of the incontrovertible books based on the Nazi era and World War II written by William L. Shirer. Unlike many historians who write late at night in cramped basements and backroom offices, he was there, a witness to the ascent and subsequent decline of Hitler’s thousand-year Reich. It included all the private writings of the officials and the vast paperwork of Hitler’s unambiguous intentions to conquer the whole world William has shown the unavoidable descend of the    great nation into the cruel hands by unimaginable journalism and observation skills.   His sheer determination for the book to be accessible to common readers made his writing simple and unique like an interesting novel. He relied mainly on his visual experience and knowledge of the newspapers. The structure

I had read this entire 14 poems, ABDUL HAMEED KUNHI has written in his book in the form of poem named "FEELINGS" expressing the real feeling of his. I am impressed with all poems he has expressed to. I believe that this poetry is something so intimate, so essential, that it cannot be defined without oversimplifying it. I believe that this poetry is the aesthetic act. I believe, is the poetic act that takes place when the poet writes it, when the reader reads it, and it always happens in a slightly different manner. When the poetic act takes place, it seems to me that we become aware of  it. The poem Departure, death and school days it seems to me that I became aware of it. This poetry is a magical, mysterious and unexplainable although not incomprehensible event. ‌There is a saying "Every book worth being re-read has been written by the spirit". Surely, I can say that ABDUL HAMEED KUNHI have written this poem by the spirit that's why this poem directl

BACK TO REALITY Forget the past that rewinds your memories, Descend to the present which strengthens you with reality. Past is past and present is present, Terminate thinking about the dwindling future.                                   You are astray. Move to the right path, Pray when you take one step;   The clouds are watching you silently. Hail the inner conscience of yours; for thy never leaves you when you go astray. Never forget you are being watched;   Protected by your loved ones. Embrace your new day; Meditate it as your day to forget it or forgive; Fall to the feet of the ones you had hurt. Expunge all sins to enfold glory. Welcome the reality as it is. Out from the brink of catastrophe, Victory awaits you. Repent, forgive, forget and love.                                                                     -RITIKA KANAKARAJ                                                                      BSc FND 2nd y
