In Favour of the Future

 Through the shackles of time, men have realised that of utmost essentiality to them is preserving their future which rests on the consequences of their own actions, especially today, when the world does not lose its pace, even for a microsecond.
With the power of choice vested in each individual, it is baseless (and more inhuman than artificial intelligence would absolutely ever be) to say that the technological advancements and growth are directly proportional to the contravention of privacy. It is voluntary on the part of an Independent to embrace his life, whether private or professional on the internet grounds. If an individual or an organisation chooses to expose its personal affairs, then any violation to those matters is solely the issue of that particular Internet Explorer and no other authority is to be held responsible, while keeping in consideration that it is entirely on the part of the Internet Platform Providers to ensure maximum security and to not breach any man due to any given reasons, unless of course there has been some injustice from the side of the individual, that too under complete national provisions of actions.
However, we, as responsible and conscious global citizens, are responsible for assuring that technology does not overpower the human intellect. Amidst the innumerable obstacles, the mankind has continued to progress, even when most traditional values were at stake and it has all proven to be worth the struggle. And as for the need of the hour, the Press Correspondent believes that turning our backs on technology, for the very reason that it hampers privacy of a certain section of the society by any means and motives and overlooking the multitude of possibilities it has created for the World, will be a step that will make the growth of the humankind stagnant, if might our fortunes help, not take us a hundred years back.

A Tale Of Two Difficulties Destitution and Starvation

  “Anyone who has struggled with poverty knows how extremely expensive it is to be poor.”  Destitution, more commonly referred to as POVERTY is one of the most common and also the most severe problems that we are facing today. What is poverty? It is nothing but the lack of financial resources to satisfy a person’s basic need for necessities. Poverty as a social evil is so deeply embedded in our economy that it has become almost a characteristic of the Indian society, roughly 7% of the Indian population lives below the poverty line The global Covid 19 pandemic has also contributed towards the worsening of this issue. Due to the onslaught of the pandemic and the resulting prohibitory lockdown, the condition of the people has worsened, the poor have now become poorer and have taken to the streetsin their search for a means of livelihood. The middle class and the small scale industries have been the worst affected. The condition of those who used to work on daily wages has gone f...

The Second Sex

  In the course of some research that I was doing on the patriarchal ideology in our country, I discovered that Sigmund Freud has conveniently described women as the "mutilated man".  Of course, how on earth could a woman possibly have an identity independent of a Man's? A woman is nothing but "Man's half"- no, a woman is a Man that has been discarded. Couple this with Freud's ridiculous theory of "penis envy" and you already have two of the many reasons why I despise Sigmund Freud. Putting that aside, let's concentrate on why I started out at all. WOMEN. Or more specifically, women's position in our society. One need not even go as far back as the not so ancient "ancient times", and all that "traditional position of women" gibberish. Look at the society around you now.  I come from a "progressive" family, but often i'm told not to go out in the clothes I'm wearing because my "top is too short...

MENSTRUATION

Image
Periods are a natural and vital part of a woman’s life. It is normal vaginal bleeding that occurs as part of a woman’s monthly cycle. Every month millions of adolescent girls around the world face a miserable cycle of pain, discomfort , shame , anxiety and isolation when their menstrual period arrives. Menstruation is a phenomenon unique to girls. But it has been always surrounded by myths and taboos that exclude women from many aspects of socio-cultural life. These taboos, myths of societies impact women’s emotional and mental health. The cultural and social influence appears to be a hurdle for advancement in this subject till date. In many parts of India, culturally, menstruation is still considered as impure and dirty. The origin of myths and taboos dates back to the Vedic times and has often been linked to Indra’s slaying of vritras. Not entering the “puja” room is the major restriction among urban girls and whereas not entering the kitch...
