MONEY EATING AWAY OUR VALUES

MONEY EATING AWAY OUR VALUES

“A Lady shot herself due to repeated dowry asked by her in-laws”.... “a man killed his brother in a property dispute”... “Jayalalithaa CM of Tamil Nadu convicted in a disproportionate assets case”

News like this have become a part and parcel of our lives .We don’t realise how our values and ethics are fading as we are getting caught in the quagmire of money making. Honesty, truthfulness, self respect have all taken a backseat in this materialistic world.

The worst affected strata is the youth of the country who is trapped in relationships that were established on the foundation of money. They can toil 24*7 for an MNC just because it pays them well without considering how adversely it will affect their  health, social as well as family life. They are enthralled by its dazzle because it seems to fulfil their desires(that grow exponentially day by day) . The only religion today that seems is “money” that everyone is trying to chase irrespective of what kind of work it involves.

Researchers say that 70% of the modern youth suffer from depression despite having all the pleasures in their lives. It is because while collecting stones they have ignored the gems. They have never practiced virtues like truthfulness or honesty. So despite having the most expensive clothes, the best cars and houses they are the worst sufferers . They never tried to introspect and ask their hearts that what makes them happy. They spent years of their life chasing money ,switching jobs and toiling hard and end with despair. Things that were of utmost importance was ignored by them. As it is very well said that “On your death bed it doesn’t matter which post you held in your life as CEO is buried next to a sweeper”.

Money can definitely buy toys but not friends, it can buy expensive clothes occupying your wardrobe but it can’t fill your heart with love & satisfaction. In a nutshell money is a necessity but its not everything.

IS SMART PHONES TAKING AWAY OUR LIVES?

"IS SMART PHONES TAKING AWAY OUR LIVES?"

Buzzing phones, beeps of messanger, status updates, photo uploads, flaunting the newly bought phone having exclusive features, checking out profiles of people are sufficient enough to describe this generation where phones are “smart” but people are “dumb”. We are a part of such society where everyone is supposedly busy but when it comes to checking out the notifications in our phones we always have time.

Undoubtedly “Smart” phones have added a pace to our lives and it has speeded up the communication process. No longer do we need to send letters or spend hefty amounts on phone calls to relatives sitting abroad. Thanks to the internet packs as we are accessible 24*7 to our acquaintances. They can find us on watsapp, hike, we chat, line and the list goes on.

But a deeper thought reveals that smart phones are more of a syndrome. Smart phones addiction is even worse than the addiction of nicotine or alcohol and has even more dangerous results physically, mentally and emotionally. We live in a virtual world where there are friend lists exceeding hundreds and the likes or comments we get on our posts affect us. The moment we are offline, there is a erratic feeling of being cut off from the rest of the world. The “last seen” features of various applications have invaded into our privacy. Instead of spending  our vacations peacefully and rejoicing the natural beauty, we are more exhilarated to upload the albums of the trip. The time that should be “me” time or “family” time is now eaten up by this wicked electronic device. Games like crocket and soccer are now played sitting on the couch and stuffing ourselves with food with eyes glued to the screens. Whenever there is some time free there is a sudden urge to look at our phones. Health, education, family everything takes a backseat if they come between us and our phones. Scientists state that the social media addiction affects our actual social life either directly or indirectly. People are living under the same roof but do not converse because it’s their online social lives that’s making them “unsocial”. Because everything starting from shopping to ticket booking can be  done over the phones, our lifestyle has become sedentary. So in a nutshell, using phones shouldn’t be banned because they are a part and parcel of our lives but one thing is a must that their usage should be limited. Afterall technology was made to work for us and serve us not the other way round.

#Ice_Cream_Soda_Day

Ice Cream Soda Day is celebrated annually on June 20th. Therefore, you should invest some time in slurping this frothy wonderment up a stripy straw. The drink is comprised of only a couple of scoops of ice-cream in any carbonated beverage. An ice-cream soda is perfect to cool you down on a sizzling June summer day and offers a refreshing snap that leaves you yearning for more.

Ice- cream sodas were created by the legendary Robert Green in 1874 during Philadelphia’s sesquicentennial jamboree. Sources state that the ingenious Mr Green mixed vanilla ice cream in with the soda he was selling, after unfortunately being devoid of ice. Nevertheless, it is thought Mr Green claims he generated the idea before the initiation of the event.

#chameleon

Chameleon eyes have a 360-degree arc of vision and can see two directions at once. Chameleons have the most distinctive eyes of any reptile. Their upper and lower eyelids are joined, with only a pinhole large enough for the pupil to see through. They can rotate and focus separately to observe two different objects simultaneously, which lets their eyes move independently from each other.

Chameleons have very good eyesight for reptiles, letting them see small insects from a long (5–10 m) distance.!!
