CONCRETE HUMANS

 Hello everyone, hope you all are fine. The festive season is back! It’s the time of the year when all of us are in a joyful mood. Each and every festival from Raksha Bandhan, Independence Day, Janmashtami to Ganesh Chaturthi and Durga Puja. This will continue till Diwali and Christmas. Festivals are indeed a peculiar feature of a secular country like India.
            And guess what we are happy about, ‘HOLIDAYS’. It is the period of the year during which we get the most holidays. When a new year starts, the 1st thing to feature in a newspaper headline is the no. of holidays (will it increase or decrease). The nature of man is developed such that they can enjoy holidays. We are becoming ‘Concrete’ in our senses and thoughts.
            “What do we normally do during our festivals? –10 hour sleep + 2 hour rest + eat + Repeat”.
            The number of dahi handi mandals has decreased from 1,500 to 200. The attendance of employees in government offices for national holidays flag hoisting is worrisome. With all due respect, Shri Rabindranath Tagore did not start Raksha Bandhan for a leave nor did Shri Lokmanya Tilak start Ganesh Chaturthi for a two day holiday and a long weekend.


            In this way, we forget the values forwarded by our ancestors and do not realize the mistake commited by us. If these practices are followed, India will soon become a WESTERN country.
              Whatever may be the reason, it is our birth right to preserve our cultural heritage and feel proud about it. Actually, it teaches you a lot, if you don’t trust me, ask the most elderly person in your family. It is high time that we give importance to our festivals and enjoy it in a right manner.

“You are invited to the festival of this world and your life is blessed”
-          Rabindranath Tagore

REVOLUTIONALIZE EDUCATION           Hi Friends, this is Suman Pandit, student of Electronics Engineering, Vidyalankar Institute of Technology, Mumbai. I have an appetite for research, innovation and entrepreneurship. In the coming days, the blog on which your sight is will feature articles ranging from sports, technology, music, art, social issues, etc. The topic for today is Education.           Education is one of the most important aspects of a human being’s life. It is a process which begins from the birth of a person and continues for his lifetime. Education is responsible for the growth of many nations and communities. Our Country, India has a population of over 1.2 billion (which is the 2 nd largest in the world). It has more youths of the age 18-30 than any other country in the world. But still, it is a developing country. The main reason for this is illiteracy and unemployable graduates. In India, people are qualified, but not educated.         For education to

A Solution to solve Mumbai's Vaccination Problem - an open letter to CM of Maharashtra

Hope you are doing well..... The whole country is in deep COVID crisis. In Maharashtra too, the cases are rising. If we don't prevent this sooner, we will be in deep shortage of medical supplies and this can give rise to a big health emergency.  The only way in which we can prevent this is by Mass Vaccination of everyone in Mumbai and Maharashtra. Vaccination prevents infection of COVID and hospitalization in all age categories to a great extent. Countries like Israel and UK are a great example. As centre has not allowed Maharashtra to allow door to door vaccination, I have another idea of undertaking mass vaccination in Mumbai (can be expanded to all of Maharashtra too). After 1st May when vaccination will be opened for all adults, this will help reduce the burden on the current vaccination centres The idea- There are a lot of grounds and parks in every locality of Mumbai. They are now idle because of the current mini lockdown. There are many nurses and attendants too

How the 2024 T20 World Cup is a Boon for Bowling and Cricket as a whole

T he just-concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) was a batsman's paradise. Flat pitches and the 'Impact Player Rule’ led to a run-fest. But fast forward a month, and the narrative has flipped dramatically in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup. Here in the Caribbean islands and USA, slower pitches and a focus on bowling are offering a refreshing and, I believe, ultimately positive, change for the sport.  Look at the numbers: Afghanistan's young pace phenom Fazal Farooqi leads the wicket-taking charts with a staggering 12 scalps in just 3 matches. The wily Sri Lankan leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, already the record holder for most wickets in a single T20 World Cup edition (2021 & 2022), is weaving his magic again, controlling the middle overs with his bag of tricks. I still am in awe of New  Zealand's Lockie Ferguson gave a spectacular performance against Papua New Guinea in their final match of the T20 World Cup campaign on Monday. During his spell, Ferguson conceded zero
