Cobweb of social media.


Almost every day we get down to study, occasionally against our will. The unwillingness happen mostly  when we study the subjects we loathe. This is the point when distractions attack us with ease. The most common distraction in today's world is the attachment to social network and internet. A smartphone has brought the world close to us but has also distanced ourselves from the tranquility of the mind. Instagram, Facebook, Twitters are friends but enemies as well. Apart from this something called Google has made us ever more inquisitive in life. So is staying away from these the solution? I feel we should embrace them tactfully. We should realize the importance of education and our education system that we have to study well and score well in exams. Therefore first of all we should try and take help of internet to develop liking for subjects we dislike and keep away these distractions during our affair with the chapters of the books.

Save Fuel for Better Environment


Every day millions of people across the planet travel or move from one place to another. Some use cars, two wheeler or even aeroplanes. But they all require the energy to function and they get it from the burning of fuel. The most common resource for fuel is ‘Black Gold’. And, practically we have only five decades left before it gets exhausted.
This indeed sounds alarming and catastrophic. The gravity of the situation demands that we save this important resource. But we require it too. Burning of these fuels is directly related to the contamination of the environment. Thousands of plants and animals become extinct. If the rate of combustion of fuels keeps on increasing this way, then one out of ten animals is going to be extinct within 2050. That is quite alarming as we are losing the ecological balance.
The biggest cause for air pollution is burning of fuels. Even the quality of abiotic factors like water, air, soil as well as minerals is degrading. The greenhouse gases emitted pollute the air, which is indirectly affecting our health to a great extent. The number of people suffering from respiratory diseases is increasing by the minute. Since, the increase of pollution there have been a lot more diseases. There have been more than 100,000 deaths due to air pollution. Most of the new and incurable diseases are actually related to the pollution caused by the emission of greenhouse gases. Our health is very much dependent upon the environment. Rate of cancers have swelled up lately.
In addition to the combing of carbon and oxygen to form CO2 and other greenhouse gases which are the major cause for the depletion of the environment, burning of fossil fuels involves other processes. Both, coal and oil contain sulphur and when it mixes with air, it may create sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. These contribute to acid rain. This rain water, when absorbed by the soil, contaminates the ground water. This is again absorbed by the plants. As a result, we are also getting overdone by it.
There are certain other effects on the earth, because of fuels. As the demand for fuel is increasing, the mining process is becoming larger. As the abandoned mines below cave in which causes buildings on the surface to crack or some even get completely destroyed. Mining also scars the land which changes drainage patterns and the land becomes unfit for farming. Coal or any other fuel when extracted or burnt creates a lot of waste. Most of these do not decompose and burn causing air and soil pollution. It affects the health of the entire population nearby.
But the most important health impact of coal mining is black lung disease. This disease causes lots of discomfort. However it is not fatal. It leaves miners exceptionally susceptible to emphysema and a variety of other lung diseases. Underground miners have more risk of death by lung diseases caused by exposure to dust, and about 2.5 times the normal risk of dying from bronchitis, pneumonia, or tuberculosis. At younger ages, coal miners are healthier than the average person their age, but as they age the situation reverses; coal miners die an average of 3 years younger than the rest of the population of the same socioeconomic status.
The problems continue. The only solution is to use less of cars and vehicles and machines which produce chemicals and substances harmful for the habitat. For covering shorter distances, bicycles should be used. Nuclear power plants are coming up to solve the matter but at the same time we should also reduce the usage. We all should have a minimal contribution to save our planet. The ozone layer depletion, melting of ice sheets and glaciers are all negative signs. As science develops, let’s join our hands together to conserve this precious resource and save our Mother Nature.

India: Most Dangerous Country for women..

Dangerous Countries for women..


So recently, a poll was conducted where India was considered ti be the worst country for women. Afgantistan and Syria were second and third in the list.
I disagree with the result that India is the riskiest. I'm not saying that India is very safe for women but  it is of course better than other countries in the list. For example say, Syria, woman are raped publicly more often than in India. The government has no policies against it. In Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia pregnant woman need to walk for miles to get food and medication. These conditions make difficult for woman to survive. In one country army men also rape woman. The most shocking fact about the poll was USA being 10th. In such developed nations also sexual and domestic violence are prevelant. In Qatar men rape woman belonging to their family. There is a lot of domestic volience. Mothers also make their children work and beat them a lot. In such a country a World Cup is going to be hosted. Despite of the wealth in a few counties, these things keep on taking place and there's no one to listen. Even in our country India, most of the cases go unreported. After reading about conditions of woman in other countries in the list , I felt that India couldn't be the worst. But none of us want such violences taking place in future, let it be any woman belonging to any country. Every one has their rights. All governments should focus upon such matters. The basic fact is that there should be severe punishment. Maybe then men stop doing such things.
