Childhood memories-Heaven on Earth!

"Of all the things I miss in my life, are those childhood days the most "my grandma exclaimed while I asked her about her childhood days. Childhood memories are a treasure to everyone, it is very hard to forget about our sweet memories. I could see, she was more vibrant and her eyes were dazzling.

She told me how she spent those days playing under trees, even in mud along with her siblings. Missing those days was one of the things she regrets for. Kho-Kho, jubilee and lagori were the games she was keen in. While lagori was being played everyday…Kho-Kho and Jubilee were their weekend games. She was so much interested in lagori that she even explained me the way how they played it.

Lagori is a game played between two teams in an wide area involving a ball and a pile of flat stones. A member of one team throws the ball at a pile of stones to knock them over. The team members then try to restore the pile of stones while the opposing team throws the ball at them. If the ball touches a seeker, he is out and his team continues without him. But a team member can always safeguard himself by touching the opposite team member before the ball hits him.

After all this she did not forget to advise me to try playing these games at least on a weekend.Childhood memories are really heaven on this earth,and I assume what my grandma said was true.

Reviews on the movie-Stoning Of Soraya

The stoning of Soraya movie is amazingly shot.It shines a light on today's society.Especially on how women are being treated even today.

What happened to Soraya is still happening even today.This movie helped me realise that I was really lucky because the place where I live does not encourage nor do they practise this.

The movie is directed by Cyrus Nowrasteh; written by Mr. Nowrasteh and Betsy Giffen Nowrasteh, based on the book by Freidoune Sahebjam,produced by Stephen McEveety and John Shepherd; released by Roadside Attractions and Mpower Pictures.

The movie is all about how a woman is being treated unjustly. The woman is innocent of the charge of adultery brought against her by her husband, just because of his decision to marry a 14yr old girl.

In the movie one of the horrific moments is when the father encourages her two eldest boys to throw stones at their own helpless mother.

They consider practicing such heinous acts is well pleasing to god. Whereas man creates laws and thinks he is doing justice for the society.

I think everyone should take an effort to watch this movie and uphold the rights of a woman.

Are Traditional Games in the verge of extinct??!

Those were the days when I used to play under trees, get myself muddy, and get scolding from my mother. While I was in school I was very much interested in playing outdoor games with my friends especially during my afternoon lunch break. I used to wait for this hour skip my meals and run to play. It was more of fun and this also kept me united with my friends even in midst of those small little fights.

 I was more interested in playing jubilee and ice-spice. As soon as I reached home I used to run out to play along with my cousins. Playing ludo and carom was one of the indoor games we played especially when it rained outside. But as days grew I really started missing these games. I no longer play them anymore. I missed the fun I had in playing those games. I wish I would have my childhood days back. I recollect my childhood days now and laugh at them just by remembering the fun I had in playing those games especially by those small fights I had while playing with my friends. But now a days it’s been a tendency to forget them.

 We no longer see children playing these "traditional games”. They are much busier than we are in this competitive world, less of fun and more of goals in winning this competition of life. The explosive growth of social media, smart phone is transforming the younger children's lives. Now  fun according to the younger generation is individually playing cell phone games or play stations. They are very much into it. These games make them self-centered and aggressive. They have the fear of loosing the game which later on instills in them the fear of losing life's battle's as they grow up.

 The unity and friendship we had in our childhood days is no longer seen. Parents are very keen in making their children excel right from the childhood days rather than encouraging them in enjoying their childhood days.

 Now all we can do is just recall back our childhood days because we can no longer see them and wish that our future generation is able to make good use of these “traditional games”. We at least remember our childhood days by the fun we had....but by what will the present young children recall and laugh at their childhood days????

College life-The best life!

                                                                                                

Before we joined the college we probably never knew how college life would be... Most of us must have expected college to be like one of those scenes in the movies.Infact more of fun,less of lecture hours,and more of freedom.This was what I had thought college would be like.

The best thing about college is you have numerous opportunities to explore your interests & passion.It is the right time to conquer yourself!It is the more of where the demands of doing tough projects in a little span of time can be overwhelming.It might be a great task,but finally the results are worth to be mentioned.And this is where time management comes in. In college a proper schedule is a must.

Moreover college life is of freedom.Freedom to make a decision is laid in our hands.The freedom to follow the crowd blindly or to stand up for ourselves as an individual & have confidence against the crowd.

All we expect while we entered a college is SUCCESS!But as time passes,we find college comes with an offer of challenges & struggles.We are here to face it boldly & win the Battle.

In my opinion,College Life Is The Best Time In A Person's 

Life!!How About Your's???

Social Media-A Boon To Mankind

Social Media is a very important aspect of modern marketing. Not only does it allow individuals the ability to network and discuss things amongst each other, but it gives businesses the capability to extend their brand recognition and outreach to other markets.

Social media has become increasingly popular among businesses. As a new technology that reaches out to many people, who are the main consumers of products, businesses are looking to use social media more often in their advertising and marketing practices.

Businesses have also begun using social media sites for customer service tools as customers can contact customer service representatives through the use of instant messages. Customers can also receive support from websites to problems and solve issues they are having with their products. Customers can connect with other consumers to inquire whether they should purchase a product or not.

For example: "The latest issue about a customer who purchased Amul Gold Milk and who found that it was not milk had really created an awareness amongst people especially to be careful before consuming such products. This was spread across the social networking sites like Facebook,Twitter...The consumer service representatives approached the above matter and gave their conclusions. Even though it was not right on the part of Amul, we get to know how social media is able to access more people. The statistic is that 'an angry customer will tell up to 20 other people about a bad experience' , that is face to face. With the use of social media like blogs, Twitter and Facebook, those 20 people can quickly become 20,000 or even 2,00,000” .Thus next time these people who would walk ahead to purchase such products would think twice before buying and consuming them.

Thus Social Media serves as a great help to mankind.With the evolution of new technologies using media in our day to day life will help us to know and decide what's the best for us.
