FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS

By -

The season is royalé all around. Its the month of October and we all know that its vacation time. Many exams concluded just recently and even election results are out. More importantly the festival of lights, 'Diwali ' has arrived . I am not writing this piece to tell something about the festival, that may be known here. There are many more things to Diwali this year.

From the 3rd week of October, our nation will be enlightened. Happiness and prosperity will prevail all over. Many labourers and officers will be getting their much awaited Diwali bonus. These bonuses will ensure that their families will have a joyful festival. Renovation and cleaning has been going on in homes and offices to give them a clean look.

Festival shopping has also taken a huge leap this year. Consumers are rallying behind online e-commerce sites instead of our very own baniyas. Taboos have been eradicated and nowadays, everyone is favorable with e-tailers Companies like Flipkart, Amazon, Snapdeal, Indiatimes are taking the market to a whole new level. (An example is the 'Flipkart Big Billion Day Sale on 6th October 2014). Good delivery options and better product pricing have facilitated its use.

Exchange of greetings and sweets are on, Dhanteras shopping is on track, Brothers & Sisters are celebrating Bhaubheej and some communities are welcoming their new year. Surely, There's a whole lot going on. Be safe, go green,celebrate in an illuminated way.
 HAPPY DIWALI

Andhra Pradesh  : The hardworking boy who does all the work assigned to him sincerely.  He is taking engineering after school. Arunachal Pradesh :  The girl who sits quietly, lost in her own world, in a corner of the class. Assam :  The jovial guy who is always cheerful. And yes, he prefers tea to coffee. Bihar  : The boy who always makes the loudest noise in the absence of the teacher, but has a kind heart. Chhattisgarh :  The introverted guy who always listens to the crowd and seldom speaks. Goa :  One of the most popular guys. He parties all day and night. Gujarat :  The guy who lends his pen to others, and never forgets to take it back. He has visited the bank more than the school canteen. Haryana :  The guy who has the ability to scare juniors by his accent. People try to imitate him to get some quick popularity points.

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.

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.

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
