If you can’t lead, don’t mislead either. Walk away with respect back into the ordinary ones. When you are trusted with representation, basic etiquette and grace are expected of you. Don’t just say what sells, don’t speak up for gains and publicity only. Say what the unheard voices behind you, want and expect you to say. When you have the big stage, say something of significance, try to empower not weaken. Why Representation And Leadership Is Required The population of India is estimated to be over 1.37 billion people in 2019. There are different minds and therefore different perspectives. There is no way each one of us could speak at a time and be heard. Now, there are issues that require a deep understanding of the Indian Constitution, The Law of the land and other aspects. There are situations where intensive decision making is taken to test. In light of this, ideally, people with the knowledge, skills and ability to express opinions are chosen as candidates. These candid

Fashion Watchmen Providing 24×7 Security To Those Who Don’t Even Need It Fashion statements and trends hit the market every now and then. Every designer label tries to bring an exquisite piece of art with each passing day. As welcoming as they may sound, most of these labels are way out the reach of many of us. As an individual, I confess today that I check price tags before buying stuff. Yeah, you read that right. I write this without the slightest of embarrassment and shyness that I value my hard-earned money. My idea of fashion is to club the decisions of my heart with the allowance of my pocket in the colours and forms that I like. I can’t wear some designer outfit to the tune of lakhs till my pocket allows me to do so. Even if someday I can buy such clothes, I don’t think I will dare touch such expensive stuff or maybe then, I just touch them and run away from it. I remember having to leave my favourite pair of black jeans costing around Rs 1900 one day just because we

In a move that could come as a massive relief for elder citizens in the state, the government has decided on punitive action against those who fail to take care of their elderly parents. The Bihar Cabinet gave the green signal to the proposal to jail those who are guilty of either abandoning their elderly parents or not taking care of them. World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) is commemorated each year on 15 June to highlight one of the worst forms of abuse and inequality in our society, elder abuse. Elder abuse is any act which causes harm to an older person and is carried out by someone they know and trust such as a family member or friend. The abuse may be physical, social, financial, psychological or sexual and can include mistreatment and neglect. It is a global social issue which affects the health and human rights of millions of older persons around the world, and an issue which deserves the attention of the international community. World Elder Abuse Deserves At

Need For Superiority In SouthAsia Is Looting Us Of Our Young Blood Over the years 1885 to 1947, Hindus And Muslims had the same motive to make their country India free from the British Rule. However, freedom had a cost. It came with the cost of separation of Hindustan into India and Pakistan in June 1947. Dear India and Pakistan, you don’t have to think much to see through the situation and understand the truth. Both of you have been looted, plundered and exploited on various occasions for your uniquenesses, energetic youth and the natural resource reserves of yours. Do you remember how both of you have been looted of your young men in the pretext of superiority in South-Asia? Do you not realise that this need for superiority is exploiting you at the cost of your young blood? Who Gets Excited When India And Pakistan Are About To War? Let me tell you – the only people happy and cheering for the wars in the world are the manufacturers of arms and ammunition in the world. E
